Welcome to the smiley360.com web site. These terms of service (referred to in this document as "TOS") govern all use of the smiley360.com web site (referred to in this document as "Site"), including interactive resources such as user profiles, blogs and chat groups (which we call collectively the "Communication Platform"). These TOS also govern your membership in smiley360.com. Please read these TOS carefully as they contain important information regarding your legal rights and obligations.

By using the Site, by registering with smiley360.com, and/or by becoming a member of smiley360.com, you agree to be bound by these TOS. smiley360.com reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change, modify, add to, or delete from these TOS at any time by posting a revised version of these TOS on this page. Each version of these TOS will indicate at the top of this page the date they were last revised. Your continued use of the Site, or your subsequent registration or entry into membership, after any revised version of these TOS is posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised version. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a member of smiley360.com, smiley360.com will directly notify you of any revised version of these TOS and will seek your specific consent in order to keep your account active.

If you do not understand these or any future TOS or if you do not or cannot agree to these or any future TOS, do not use or access (or continue to use or access) the Site.

    1. For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos ("IP content"), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with smiley360.com("IP License"). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
