Sports Tribune Terms of Service

Date of Last Revision: October 10, 2019

This Terms of Service or “Terms” is our Terms of Service that governs our relationship with users and others who interact with Sports Tribune. Sports Tribune provides a variety of products and services which we call “Sports Tribune Services” or “Services”. By using or accessing Sports Tribune, you agree to this Terms of Service, as updated in accordance with the sections below. Because Sports Tribune provides a wide range of Services we may ask you to review and accept supplemental terms that apply to your interaction with a specific app, product, or service. To the extent those supplemental terms conflict with this Term of Service, the supplemental terms associated with the app, product, or service govern with respect to your use of such app, product or service to the extent of the conflict.

1. Privacy

Your privacy is very important to us. We created our Privacy Policy to make important disclosures about how you can use Sports Tribune to share with others, and how we collect, and use your content and information. We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy, and to use it to help you make informed decisions.

2. Sharing Your Content and Information

You own all of the content and information you post on Sports Tribune, and you can control how it is shared through your Privacy Settings. In addition:

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 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 Sports Tribune (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or when you delete your account, unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).
When you publish content or information using the Public setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Sports Tribune, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture).
We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about Sports Tribune, but you understand that we may use your feedback or suggestions without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).
