Platform Enhancements and Elective Content are collectively ("Community"). This Community provides opportunities to interact with your peers in order to share knowledge, news, and information about Beeline and its products and services. BEELINE COMMUNITY IS NOT A PART OF ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY BEELINE. Your participation in the Community is governed by these Beeline Community Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) and Beeline’s Community Privacy Notice including all disclaimers of liability included therein. Beeline reserves the right to modify or update these Terms at any time in its discretion. Your continued participation in the Community serves as your agreement to such modified or updated Terms. BY INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS OR PARTICIPATING IN ANY PART OF THE COMMUNITY, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU: (I) ARE AUTHORIZED TO SIGN FOR, ACCEPT, AND BIND YOURSELF AND ANY OTHER PARTY ON WHOSE BEHALF YOU PLAN TO USE THE COMMUNITY; AND (II) AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.
Ownership
Proprietary Rights. All Platform Enhancements and User Content are owned and provided by Beeline. The visual interfaces, graphics, design, compilation, information, data, computer code (including source code or object code), content, products, software, services, and all other elements of the Community provided by Beeline (“Materials”) are protected by intellectual property and other laws. All Materials of the Community are the property of Beeline or its third-party licensors. Except as expressly authorized by Beeline in writing, you may not make use of the Materials. There are no implied licenses in these Terms and Beeline reserves all rights to the Materials not granted expressly in these Terms.
User Content
Certain features of the Community may permit users to submit, upload, publish, broadcast, transmit or otherwise make available (“Post”) content to or through Community, including messages, reviews, photos, video or audio (including sound or voice recordings and musical recordings embodied in the video or audio), images, folders, data, text, and any other works of authorship or other works (“User Content”). You or your employer as a Beeline customer, retain any copyright and other proprietary rights that you may hold in the User Content that you Post to the Community, subject to the licenses granted in these Terms.
By Posting User Content to or via the Community, you grant Beeline a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid right and license (with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers) to host, store, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform (including by means of a digital audio transmission), communicate to the public, reproduce, modify for the purpose of formatting for display, create derivative works as authorized in these Terms, and distribute your User Content, in whole or in part, in any media formats and through any media channels, in each instance whether now known or hereafter developed. You agree to pay all monies owing to any person or entity resulting from Posting your User Content and from Beeline’s exercise of the license set forth in this section.
When posting a photograph or image within the Community, it is important to ensure that you have the right to do so and that you do not violate any copyright or other laws, such as those related to pornography. We strictly prohibit the posting of any illegal content, including but not limited to pornography, hate speech, and any other material that is offensive or violates any laws or regulations (“Illegal Content”). Beeline does not take liability for any posting, but we do reserve the right to investigate and take action, such as shutting down your access, or reporting Illegal Content to law enforcement, if we find that you have violated someone’s copyright or posted, transmitted or otherwise made available Illegal Content, in connection with the Community.
You must not post User Content if you are not the owner of or are not fully authorized to grant rights in all of the elements of that User Content, including in all ambient music and underlying musical works embodied in any sound recording. Beeline disclaims any and all liability in connection with User Content. You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of providing User Content via the Community. By providing User Content via the Community, you affirm, represent, and warrant to us that: (i) you are the creator and owner of the User Content, or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to authorize Beeline and users of the Service to use and distribute your User Content as necessary to exercise the licenses granted by you in this Section, in the manner contemplated by Beeline, the Community, and these Terms; (ii) your User Content, and the Posting or other use of your User Content as contemplated by these Terms, does not and will not: (a) infringe, violate, misappropriate, or otherwise breach any third-party right, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property, contract, or proprietary right; (b) slander, defame, libel, or invade the right of privacy, publicity or other property rights of any other person; or (c) cause Beeline to violate any law or regulation or require us to obtain any further licenses from or pay any royalties, fees, compensation or other amounts or provide any attribution to any third parties; (d) your User Content could not be deemed by a reasonable person to be objectionable, profane, indecent, pornographic, harassing, bullying, threatening, embarrassing, hateful, or otherwise inappropriate; and (e) your User Content does not contain any personal information that would be considered sensitive in nature such as financial or protected health information or any information that is banned or otherwise prohibited by any sanctions, embargoes or other legal restrictions.
USER CONTENT DISCALIMER. WE ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO EDIT OR CONTROL USER CONTENT THAT YOU OR OTHER USERS POST AND WILL NOT BE IN ANY WAY RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR USER CONTENT. BEELINE MAY, HOWEVER, AT ANY TIME AND WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE, SCREEN, REMOVE, EDIT, OR BLOCK ANY USER CONTENT THAT IN OUR SOLE JUDGMENT VIOLATES THESE TERMS, IS ALLEGED TO VIOLATE THE RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES, OR IS OTHERWISE OBJECTIONABLE. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, WHEN USING THE COMMUNITY, YOU WILL BE EXPOSED TO USER CONTENT FROM A VARIETY OF SOURCES AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT USER CONTENT MAY BE INACCURATE, OFFENSIVE, INDECENT, OBJECTIONABLE, OR INSUFFICIENT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. YOU AGREE TO WAIVE, AND DO WAIVE, ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RIGHT OR REMEDY YOU HAVE OR MAY HAVE AGAINST BEELINE WITH RESPECT TO USER CONTENT. IF NOTIFIED BY A USER OR CONTENT OWNER THAT USER CONTENT ALLEGEDLY DOES NOT CONFORM TO THESE TERMS, WE MAY INVESTIGATE THE ALLEGATION AND DETERMINE IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION WHETHER TO REMOVE THE USER CONTENT, WHICH WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DO AT ANY TIME AND WITHOUT NOTICE. FOR CLARITY, BEELINE DOES NOT PERMIT INFRINGING ACTIVITIES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

You acknowledge and agree that Beeline reserves the right to, and may from time to time, monitor any and all information (including User Content) transmitted or received through the Community for operational and other purposes.
