Submissions
We welcome your comments about any of the WestStar Sites. However,
we will not review or consider any unsolicited creative submissions.
We hope you will understand that this policy is intended to
avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings in the event
that projects developed by our professional staff might seem
to others to be similar to their own creative work. Accordingly,
we must ask that you not send us any original creative ideas,
suggestions or materials. If, despite our request, you send
us any creative idea, suggestion or material ("Submission"),
it shall become our property. No Submission will be subject
to any obligation of confidence by us, and we will not be liable
for any use or disclosure of any Submission. We will exclusively
own all known or later-existing rights to the Submission worldwide,
and will be entitled to the unrestricted use of the Submission
for any purpose, without compensation to the provider of the
Submission. If you are submitting something to a site that has
set up a submissions policy, please consult that site for its
specific requirements.
Forums
A "forum" means any message board, chat room, user
review forum or similar interactive service appearing on any
of the WestStar Sites. You must register in accordance with
instructions that you will find on the WestStar Sites in order
to contribute to any forum. You may not post on any forum any
material that is libelous, defamatory, obscene, abusive, invades
a person's privacy, violates any intellectual property rights,
or that would otherwise violate any law. You may not use any
forum in a commercial manner. You may not post material that
solicits funds, or that advertises or solicits goods or services.
You may not post material known to be false. You may not post
messages that contain stock touts. You may not post or transmit
any information, software or other material that contains a
virus or other harmful component. We are not responsible for
material appearing in any forum on the WestStar Sites, except
for material signed by an identified representative of WestStar
and/or relevant affiliated companies. We are not responsible
for screening material posted by users for libel, obscenity,
invasion of privacy, copyright or trademark infringement, accuracy,
or for any other reason. We retain, however, the right to modify
or remove messages or other material that we, in our sole discretion,
consider infringing, offensive, abusive, defamatory, obscene,
stale, or otherwise unacceptable. We also reserve the right
to edit materials for any other reason. Whether or not we modify
or remove such material, users remain solely responsible for
the content of their messages or postings. By posting on the
WestStar Sites, you grant (or warrant that the owner of such
rights has expressly granted) WestStar and/or relevant affiliated
companies the worldwide, perpetual, nonexclusive right to use
your questions, comments, and postings, in their original or
edited form, in broadcast programs, books, articles, commentaries,
or in any other medium now known or later developed. You also
warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights
to the content you have posted and that the public posting and
use of such content by WestStar will not infringe the rights
of any third party. Additionally, you warrant that any "moral
rights" in posted materials have been waived. You are not
entitled to any compensation for such use. We may, at our discretion,
terminate the registration of any forum user who violates any
of the terms and conditions of use. We respect the intellectual
property rights of others, and require that the people who use
the WestStar Sites do the same.
