1. General
1.1. The Community is a web-based platform that enables you and other Community advocates to receive invitations from us to participate in various challenges related to promoting the Community, such as, but not limited to, sharing items of importance to us on social media, speaking at one of our conferences, or talking about us to others (each a “Challenge”).
1.2. You agree that by providing us with your information and clicking “Accept”, you are entering into a legally binding agreement with us in your capacity as an authorized representative of XXX.
1.3. We call the terms and conditions set out in this document the “User Agreement”.

If you do not agree to any of the terms of the Agreement, do not join or interact with the Community.
2. Sharing
2.1. Your participation in the Community is completely voluntary. You may cancel your account at any time. Participation in a Challenge is also voluntary. You are free to refuse to participate in any Challenge.
2.2. The Community may allow you to interact with us and other advocates by posting your own content to the Community. “Content” means anything you post to the Community, including opinions, expressions, points of view, articles, videos, messages, photos, advice or any other information.
2.3. As between you and us, you own the Content that you post to the Community. However, by posting Content, you give us the right to use this Content, subject to certain limitations that we set out below. In legal language, this means that if you post Content, you give us and our corporate affiliates (which are companies that we own or that are under common ownership with us) a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, transferable and sublicensable license to use, copy, modify, distribute, publish and process your Content, without any further consent, notice, or compensation to you or any other third party.
2.4. Our rights to the Content are limited in the following ways:
a. You can end our license for any particular piece of Content by deleting it from the Community or by closing your Community account. However, if you have shared the Content with others and they have made a copy or stored your Content, it may not be completely deleted from the Community.
b. We will get your consent if we want to give others the right to publish your Content outside of the Community. However, other advocates of the Community may access and share your Content consistent with the functionality of the Community.
c. While we will not modify or amend your Content, we may make formatting changes to your Content.
2.5. If you participate in any Challenges, we may award you points based on your successful completion of the Challenge. We will automatically track your points for you. We will also display a leaderboard within the Community that sets out the number of points each Advocate has. This leaderboard is viewable by all other advocates of the Community. Please note that you can remove yourself from the leaderboard at any point in time, in your sole discretion.
2.6. We appreciate your thoughts about the Community. By submitting suggestions or other feedback about the Community to us, you agree that we can use and share (but do not have to use or share) such feedback for any purpose without compensation to you.

In addition, we also set out the policies and procedures in this section 8 for individuals to identify potentially problematic or infringing Content.
7.2. When you submit a complaint to us, whether or not we take action, we may make a good faith effort to notify the individual who posted or submitted the Content, including by providing the complainant’s contact information, so that the individual who posted the Content is notified of the alleged violation of intellectual property rights or other content violation.
7.3. Please note that any notice or counter-notice you submit must be truthful and must be submitted under penalty of perjury. A false notice or counter-notice may give rise to personal liability.
