Posting Content on The Write Kit

First and foremost, you own what you create. Any original content you post, upload, share, store, or otherwise provide to The Write Kit remains yours and is protected by copyright and any other applicable intellectual property laws. 

That includes publications, subscriber lists, any other text or photos you upload to your subdomain on The Write Kit, and any information that you provide to obtain a The Write Kit username and account. It also includes any comments posted on any current or future discussion board features on The Write Kit. 

Anything posted, uploaded, shared, stored, or otherwise provided through The Write Kit is referred to as a “Post” in these Terms. There are a few rules that apply to all Posts:

• Don’t Infringe: Your Posts should not violate someone else’s (including The Write Kit’s) rights. Don’t copy, reproduce, modify, translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform, upload, display, license, sell, commercialize or otherwise exploit for any purpose any content not owned by you unless you have prior consent from the owner of that content. 

• Limited License to Us: In order to display your Posts on The Write Kit, and to allow other users to enjoy them, you grant us certain rights in your Posts:

• Operating The Write Kit: You hereby grant The Write Kit a license to translate, modify, reproduce, and otherwise act with respect to your Posts to enable us to provide, improve, and notify you about new features within The Write Kit. You understand and agree that we may need to make changes to your Posts to conform and adapt those Posts to the technical requirements of networks, devices, services, or media, and this license includes the rights to do so. For example, we may need to modify your website to make sure it is viewable on an iPhone as well as a computer. 

• Public Posts: If you share a Post with other users on The Write Kit, then you grant us the license above, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Post. Also, you grant all other users of The Write Kit a license to access the Post, and to use and exercise all rights in it, as permitted by the functionality of The Write Kit. 

• Term of License: You agree that the licenses you grant are royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and worldwide. This is a license only – your ownership in Posts is not affected.

We reserve the right to remove any content from The Write Kit at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, if someone alleges you contributed that content in violation of these Terms), in our sole discretion, and without notice.
