Your participation in active involvement in Creedia will help us and the other users better understand the way people worldwide perceive religion.

You hereby acknowledge that you may only upload Content that is in formats supported by Creedia, as presented to you on the upload page (as may be amended from time-to-time).

Such notification shall in no way obligate Creedia to remove such Content.

 

Furthermore, it is clarified that we will not remove User Content only because of any claimed inaccuracy, since the Service is not aimed at presenting the “correct” or “accurate” interpretation or application of any religion but rather reflect the religion and beliefs as people see them. We will only remove User Content if it is in breach of These Terms.

 

          We respect the Intellectual Property Rights of others. We ask our users to do the same. We may terminate the accounts of users who appear to infringe the Intellectual Property Rights of others (our rights and those of our affiliates and contractors as well as rights of third parties).

          It is clarified that certain parts of the Content are open for Shared Editing (e.g. the Creed Statements), and accordingly your User Content may be subject to editing and adaptation by us and by other Members. You hereby grant an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, right and license to edit, adapt, modify and create derivative works of such User Content by us and by other Members, without any need or requirement to credit you or inform you of such modification.

You hereby grant us and the other Members an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, right and license to rate your User Content and to publish such rating without any need to inform you of such action.

          Except for the foregoing licenses, we do not claim ownership of any copyright in your User Content. You continue to retain all ownership rights in such User Content, and you continue to have the right to use your User Content in any way you choose.

 

          The User Content will not be subject to any obligation, whether of confidentiality, attribution or otherwise, on our part and we will not be liable for any use or disclosure of any User Content. Without derogating from the generality of the forgoing, we may preserve Content and may also, in our sole discretion, disclose any User Content, and the circumstances surrounding the Transmission or use thereof, to any third party in order to (a) operate the Services; (b) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Creedia, our affiliates, contractors, employees partners, licensors, advertisers, and users or the public; (c) comply with legal obligations, governmental requests or other legal process; (d) enforce these Terms; (e) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third-parties; or (f) for any other reason or purpose.

We shall not be required to determine the validity and merits of such third part claim prior to removing the Content. You will have no claim against us for any such content removal.

 

          You agree to pay for all royalties, license fees, compensation, infringement damages and fines, and any other monies owing any person by reason of any User Content posted by you to or through the Service.

 

          We recommend you keep back-up copies of your submissions, as the service is not intended to be used as a back-up solution for storing your submissions.

 

 

          If any person or entity (the “Complaining Party”) believes in good faith that material used or displayed on or through the Service (by us or by any of our affiliates or users) has been used in a way that constitutes an infringement of any of the Complaining Party’s Intellectual Property Rights (including any third party that the Complaining Party is entitled to represent) it is requested to send a notice to our IP Designated Agent requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked ("IP Notice"). The IP Notice must be in writing and include the following information:

 

      1.       A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the Intellectual Property Right that is allegedly infringed.

 

      2.       identification of the IP protected work and/or mark claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works);

 

      3.       identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate the material on the Service (or in the case of links to sites that are claimed to have infringing material, identification of the link that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate that reference or link);

 

      4.       a duly notarized affidavit made under penalty of perjury stating that (a) the Complaining Party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the Intellectual Property Right that is allegedly infringed; and (b) that the information in the IP Notice is accurate;

 

      5.       a statement that the Complaining Party has a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the Intellectual Property Right owner, its agent or by applicable law; and

 

      6.       information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the Complaining Party, including information such as your name, address, telephone number, email address, and other contact information.

 

      It is expected that all users of any part of the Creedia Service will comply with applicable copyright laws. However, if we receive an IP Notice we will process notices of alleged infringement and respond expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity.

 

          Following such removal or disabling we shall promptly notify the user who’s User Content was removed or disabled (the “User”) regarding the action we have taken. Such notification shall be sent to the email address provided to us by the User and by posting a takedown notice at the URL were such User Content was located. We will not be liable for non-notification in the event that the User did not provide us with an updated email address.

 

          If the User believes in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against him, he may send our IP Designated Agent a counter-notice (the “Counter Notice”). The Counter Notice must be in writing and include the following information:

 

      1.       a physical or electronic signature of the User;

 

      2.       identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;

 

      3.       a statement under penalty of perjury that the User has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;

 

      4.       information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the User, including information such as the User’s name, address, and telephone number;

 

      5.       a statement that the User consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the subscriber’s address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found, and that the User will accept service of process from the Complaining Party or an agent of such person.

 

          Upon receipt of a Counter Notice we shall promptly provide the Claiming Party with a copy of the Counter Notice, and inform it that we will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days.

 

          We will replace the removed material and cease disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of the Counter Notice, unless our IP Designated Agent first receives notice from the Claiming Party that the Claiming Party has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the User from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the Service.

 

Our IP Designated Agent can be reached at:

legal@Creedia.com

 

          In the event that a User is found to be a repeat infringer of Intellectual Property Rights, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to immediately terminate his Service account and his access to the Service.

 

          It is hereby clarified that we do not interfere with standard technical measures used by copyright owners to identify or protect copyrighted works that (a) have been developed pursuant to a broad consensus of copyright owners and service providers in an open, fair, voluntary, multi-industry standards process; (b) are available to any person on reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms; and (c) do not impose substantial costs or substantial burdens on our systems or networks.

 

          If we receive an IP Notice or a Counter Notice that are not compliant with the above procedures, we shall handle them in whatever manner appears to be reasonable, at our sole discretion, given the circumstances presented.

 

          The above detailed Copyright Infringement Policy is without prejudice to any other right provided to us under these Terms, including any right to remove content at our sole discretion.

 

 

          These terms shall remain effective until terminated, revised, restated or otherwise modified by us as set forth herein.

We shall not be liable to you or to any third-party for any termination of your access to the Service.

 

          Should you object to any terms and conditions of these Terms (as amended) or become dissatisfied with the Service in any way, your only recourse is to immediately discontinue your use of the Service and/or terminate your account.

 

          You hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold us, our affiliates, service providers, partners, licensors, advertisers, and our and their directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents and other representatives, harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, awards, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and other expenses that are based on or arise directly or indirectly out of or from (a) your breach of these Terms or the Rules of Conduct; (b) any use of your User Content or other content Transmitted by you or under your account; (c) any misuse of your account; (d) any breach of your representations and warranties set forth herein; or (d) your activities in connection with the Service.
