USER SUBMISSIONS
The CSS website, application/s or software may now or in the future permit the submission of written works, photos, audio files, testimonials, videos or other communications submitted by you and other users of the website ("User Submissions") and the hosting, sharing and/or publishing of the User Submissions. Once the User Submissions are submitted to our website or through social media managed by CSS, the submissions become property of CSS. You understand that whether or not such User Submissions are published on the websites, CSS does not guarantee any confidentiality with respect to any submissions. You agree that CSS may publish your name and submissions on the CSS website, CSS-managed social media, advertising, print material or in any other press releases of media items.
In connection with your own User Submissions, you affirm, represent and warrant that you:
1. own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents and permissions to use and authorise CSS to use all patent, trade mark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights in and to any and all User Submissions to enable inclusion and use of the User Submissions in the manner contemplated by the website and Terms & Conditions; and
2. have the written consent, release, and/or permission of each and every identifiable individual person in the User Submission to use the name or likeness of each and every identifiable person to enable inclusion and the use of the User Submissions in the manner contemplated by the User Submissions become the property of CSS. By submitting the User Submissions to CSS, you hereby grant CSS a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display and perform the User Submissions in connection with the website and the CSS business, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing all or part of the website (and any derivative works) in any media formats and through any media channels.

CSS does not endorse any User Submission or any opinion, recommendation, testimonial or advice expressed therein, and CSS expressly disclaims any and all liability in connection with User Submissions. CSS does not permit copyright infringing activities and infringement of intellectual property rights on its website, and CSS will block and remove all content and User Submissions if properly notified that such content or User Submission infringes on another's intellectual property rights.
