In the course of using the Service, you and other Users may provide or post certain content or information (including, but not limited to, artwork, photography, voice or video (collectively referred to as "Artwork"), Artwork title, Artwork statements, Lesson Plans (as defined below), Comments (as defined below), Compliments (as defined below), Student Feedback (as defined below), Student Data (as defined in the DPA), and Art Room News (as defined below)), which may be used by Artsonia in connection with the Service and which may be visible to certain other Users (collectively "User Content"). Please visit our Privacy Policy for additional information on the types of information different types of Users are able to provide. Additionally, some User Content may be deemed an Education Record (as defined below).
Consistent with applicable law, as between Artsonia and you, you retain all ownership rights you have in any User Content. Artsonia does not claim any ownership rights in the User Content. In short, what belongs to you stays yours. Please note that, while you retain ownership of your User Content, any template or layout in which you arrange or organize such User Content through tools and features made available through any of our Service are not proprietary to you, and the rights to such template or layout will remain with us.
We believe that you (or your school, as applicable) own your data and preserving your access to such data is important. If we discontinue a Service, where reasonably possible, we will give you reasonable advance notice and a chance to get information out of that Service.
In order to allow Artsonia to provide the Service, you hereby grant to Artsonia a limited, non-exclusive, sublicensable (as necessary to perform the Service, provide additional services under Artsonia Plus Related Services (as defined below), or produce Custom Merchandise), worldwide, royalty-free, and transferable (only to a successor) right and license to:
- Use, host, copy, store, distribute, publicly perform and display, publish (in whole or in part), modify, and create derivative works (such as changes we make so that your content works better with our Service or to produce Custom Merchandise or Digital Goods) such User Content as necessary to (a) provide, improve and make the Service available to you and other Users, and (b) produce (including sharing with our subprocessors) Custom Merchandise depicting the User Content;
- Use and disclose metrics and analytics regarding the User Content in an aggregate or other non-personally identifiable manner (including, for use in improving our Service or in marketing and business development purposes);
- Use any User Content (including any Student Data or Education Record) that has been de-identified for any product development, research or other lawful purpose subject to the Privacy Policy; and
- Use for other purposes permitted by the Artsonia Privacy Policy.
In addition to the rights, licenses and privileges referred to above, you agree that Artsonia may use and refer to your Artwork, first name and screenname that are posted publicly on the Service and not in the private areas of our Service ("Public Artwork") (including screen shots) in marketing materials, press releases, financial reports, presentations, website materials, customer lists and other media now known or hereafter discovered in connection with the marketing, advertising and promotion of the Service, and any products, goods, features, capabilities and/or services associated with the Service. This right will continue until your Public Artwork is deleted; provided however, that any Public Artwork previously printed in brochures, articles or other marketing materials that Artsonia had prepared before any request for deletion was received will continue to be used.
Artsonia will only share and use your personal information in accordance with Artsonia's current Privacy Policy.
The license in 4(iii) above will terminate when you or your School (as defined below) delete (i) any User Content with intellectual property rights (like images or videos) ("IP Content"), or personally identifiable information (such as that in Student Data or an Education Record), (ii) delete your account. Such termination may not apply if your User Content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it. When you post User Content on the Service, some of it may be publicly available, and it means that you are allowing everyone, including people unaffiliated with Artsonia, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture if you provide one as a User or any Artwork uploaded). Note, however, that any User Content that may be an Education Record (including User Content in or related to messages sent through Artsonia) may be kept after you delete your account for School legal compliance reasons (e.g. maintenance of "education records" under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)). Please see the section entitled Deleting Your Account in our Privacy Policy for more information. When you delete IP content, Student Data, Education Records, or personal information, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle or trash bin on a computer. However, you understand that any removed User Content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).
Parents acknowledge and agree that the license granted in 4(iii) may mean that third parties that are not related to or known to Parent may purchase Artsonia Custom Merchandise containing their child's User Content (e.g. Artwork and title), and that Parent has granted such license when they consent to their child's Artwork being posted publicly on the Service. The license in 4(iii) above will terminate when you withdrawal your consent or delete the IP Content, provided, however, that such license will continue for Custom Merchandise previously purchased by third parties prior to such withdrawal or deletion.
You agree that you, or your School, are responsible for making sure that you have all rights in the User Content, including the rights necessary for you to grant us the foregoing licenses to the User Content. School or Teacher, as applicable, represents, covenants and agrees on behalf of yourself and your student Users that the submitting User (including your students) has all required rights to submit, post, upload or otherwise, own, use or disseminate the User Content it submits or uploads without violating any third-party rights. You are responsible for ensuring your User Content complies with the Acceptable Use and Conduct Section and any other guidelines or conditions specific to certain categories of User Content. All information posted or transmitted through the Service is the responsibility of the person that posted it, and we will not be liable for any errors or omissions in any content. Artsonia cannot guarantee the identity of any other Users with whom you may interact in the course of using the Service, or the authenticity of any data which Users may provide about themselves. You acknowledge that all content accessed by you using the Service is at your own risk and you will be solely responsible for any damage or loss to any party resulting therefrom.
You acknowledge that Artsonia and its designees (such as Teacher) reserve the right, but shall have no obligation, to pre-screen, filter, remove, refuse to accept, delete, remove, post, display, or transmit any User Content through or on the Artsonia Service in whole or in part at any time for any reason or no reason with or without notice and with no liability of any kind. You are solely responsible (and assume all liability and risk) for determining whether or not any User Content is appropriate or acceptable to you. We do not guarantee that we will publish any of your User Content, and reserve the right to remove User Content from the Service at any time for any reason, such as if we receive a notice reports a User Content infringes someone's intellectual property rights.
If you are a User and upload any Artwork or image containing your likeness, you also agree to the following: You consent to the use of your likeness, and you have obtained the written consent, release, and/or permission of every identifiable individual who appears in your User Content to use such individual's likeness, for purposes of using the User Content in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, or, if any such identifiable individual is under the age of eighteen (18), you have obtained such written consent, release and/or permission from such individual's Parent (and you agree to provide to us a copy of any such consents, releases and/or permissions upon our request).
