Proprietary Rights
MVPSpot does not claim any ownership rights in any Materials that you submit, post, or display on or through the MVPSpot Services or on the MVPSpot.com Web site. After submitting, posting or displaying Materials on or through the MVPSpot Services or on the MVPSpot.com Web site, you continue to retain all ownership rights in such Materials, and you continue to have the right to use your Materials in any way you choose. By submitting, posting or displaying any Materials on or through the MVPSpot Service, you hereby grant to MVPSpot a limited license to use, modify, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, and distribute such Materials solely on and through the MVPSpot Service.
Without this license, MVPSpot would be unable to provide the MVPSpot Service. For example, without the right to modify your Materials, MVPSpot would not be able to digitally compress music files that you or other Members submit or otherwise format Materials to satisfy technical requirements, and without the right to publicly perform Materials, MVPSpot could not allow users and Members to listen to music posted by Members. The license you grant to MVPSpot is non-exclusive (meaning you are free to license your Materials to anyone else in addition to MVPSpot), fully-paid and royalty-free (meaning that MVPSpot is not required to pay you for the use on the MVPSpot Service of the Materials that you post), sublicensable (so that MVPSpot is able to use its affiliates and subcontractors such as Internet content delivery networks to provide the MVPSpot Service), and worldwide (because the Internet and the MVPSpot Service are global in reach). This license will terminate at the time you remove your Materials from the MVPSpot Service, except that you agree that the license will continue solely with respect to other Members' continued use of your Materials that are not music or videos (i.e. photos or skins); provided, however if you remove any of the Materials from the MVPSpot Service, MVPSpot reserves the right to remove all of your Materials from other Member's pages. The license does not grant MVPSpot the right to sell your Materials, nor does the license grant MVPSpot the right to distribute your Materials outside of the MVPSpot Service. You represent and warrant that: (i) you own the Materials posted by you on or through the MVPSpot Service or otherwise have the right to grant the license set forth in this section, and (ii) the posting of your Materials on or through the MVPSpot Service does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights or any other rights of any person. You agree to pay for all royalties, fees, and any other monies owing any person by reason of any Materials posted by you to or through the MVPSpot Service.
MVPSpot, LLC. and its affiliates and licensors own and retain all rights in the MVPSpot.com Web site and MVPSpot Service, which contain proprietary and confidential information that is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws, including without limitation all (1) text, (2) software, (3) photographs, (4) graphics, (5) page layout, and (6) design presented through and as part of the MVPSpot Service by MVPSpot.com.
