User-Generated Content
1. Responsibility for User-Generated Content
You may create or upload User-Generated Content while using Insight Maker. You are solely responsible for the content of, and for any harm resulting from, any User-Generated Content that you post, upload, link to or otherwise make available via Insight Maker, regardless of the form of that Content. We are not responsible for any public display or misuse of your User-Generated Content.
2. Right to Remove or Refuse Content
Insight Maker reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to refuse or remove any content that violates our terms, policies, or any applicable laws.
3. Ownership of Content, Right to Post, and License Grants
You retain ownership of and responsibility for Your Content. If you're posting anything you did not create yourself or do not own the rights to, you agree that you are responsible for any Content you post; that you will only submit Content that you have the right to post; and that you will fully comply with any third party licenses relating to Content you post.
Because you retain ownership of and responsibility for Your Content, we need you to grant us — and other Insight Maker Users — certain legal permissions, listed in User-Generated Content sections 4 — 7. These license grants apply to Your Content. If you upload Content that already comes with a license granting Insight Maker the permissions we need to run our Service, no additional license is required. You understand that you will not receive any payment for any of the rights granted in User-Generated Content sections 4 — 7. The licenses you grant to us will end when you remove Your Content from our servers, unless other Users have cloned or copied it.
4. License Grant to Us
We need the legal right to do things like host Your Content, publish it, and share it. You grant us and our legal successors the right to store, archive, parse, and display Your Content, and make incidental copies, as necessary to provide the Service, including improving the Service over time. This license includes the right to do things like copy it to our database and make backups; show it to you and other users; parse it into a search index or otherwise analyze it on our servers; share it with other users; and simulate it.
This license does not grant Insight Maker the right to sell Your Content. It also does not grant Insight Maker the right to otherwise distribute or use Your Content outside of our provision of the Service.
5. License Grant to Other Users
Any User-Generated Content you post publicly, including Insights, comments, and contributions to other Users' Insights, may be viewed by others. By setting your Insight to be viewed publicly, you agree to allow others to view and "clone" your Insights (this means that others may make their own copies your Insights in Insights they control).
If you set your Insights to be viewed publicly, you grant each User of Insight Maker a nonexclusive, worldwide license to use, display, and perform Your Content through the Insight Maker Service and to reproduce Your Content solely on Insight Maker as permitted through Insight Maker's functionality (for example, through cloning). You may grant further rights if you specify a license on your Insight. If you are adding Content to Insight Maker you did not create or own, you are responsible for ensuring that the Content you add is licensed under terms that grant these permissions to other Insight Maker Users.
6. Contributions Under Insight License
Whenever you add Content to an Insight containing notice of a license, you license that Content under the same terms, and you agree that you have the right to license that Content under those terms. If you have a separate agreement to license that Content under different terms, such as a contributor license agreement, that agreement will supersede.
7. Moral Rights
You retain all moral rights to Your Content that you create, upload, publish, or submit to any part of the Service, including the rights of integrity and attribution. However, you waive these rights and agree not to assert them against us, to enable us to reasonably exercise the rights granted in section (User-Generated Content section 4), but not otherwise.
To the extent this agreement is not enforceable by applicable law, you grant Insight Maker the rights we need to use Your Content without attribution and to make reasonable adaptations of Your Content as necessary to render the Website and provide the Service.
Copyright infringement
If you believe that content on our website violates any laws, please contact us reports@insightmaker.com detailing the violation. We may give the Insight owner time to provide a response to your report, after which we may disable access to the Insight.
You may file DMCA takedown requests at dmca@insightmaker.com. There may be legal consequences for sending a false or frivolous takedown notice. Before sending a takedown request, you must consider legal uses such as fair use and licensed uses.
Disclaimer of Warranties

Limitation of Liability
You understand and agree that we will not be liable to you or any third party for any loss of profits, use, goodwill, or data, or for any incidental, indirect, special, consequential or exemplary damages, however arising, that result from

Release and Indemnification
If you have a dispute with one or more Users, you agree to release Insight Maker from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.
You agree to indemnify us, defend us, and hold us harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, and expenses, including attorneys' fees, arising out of your use of the Website and the Service, including but not limited to your violation of this Agreement, provided that Insight Maker (1) promptly gives you written notice of the claim, demand, suit or proceeding; (2) gives you sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim, demand, suit or proceeding (provided that you may not settle any claim, demand, suit or proceeding unless the settlement unconditionally releases Insight Maker of all liability); and (3) provides to you all reasonable assistance, at your expense.

Non-Assignability
We may assign or delegate these Terms of Service and/or the Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent, including the license grant in User-Generated Content section 4. You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under the Terms of Service or Privacy Policy without our prior written consent, and any unauthorized assignment and delegation by you is void.
Severability, No Waiver, and Survival
If any part of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion of the Agreement will be construed to reflect the parties’ original intent. The remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. Any failure on the part of Insight Maker to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be considered a waiver of our right to enforce such provision. Our rights under this Agreement will survive any termination of this Agreement.
