  2. Grant of License.
    1. License to SevenUnited. By submitting any Assets to the Site or SevenUnited, each Brand grants to SevenUnited and its affiliates a royalty-free, sub-licensable, transferrable, worldwide license to use, make copies, publish, distribute, publicly perform, public display, modify, translate, and make derivative works of the Assets. You further grant SevenUnited a royalty-free, sub-licensable, transferrable, worldwide license to use your name, voice, and/or likeness in any medium now existing or hereinafter developed for the purpose of advertising the Assets.
    2. License to Buyers. By submitting any Assets to the Site or SevenUnited, each Brand grants to Buyers that purchase rights to use such Assets a limited, royalty-free, perpetual, assignable, non-revocable, worldwide license to Buyers that have completed such purchase. For the avoidance of doubt, this license does not include the right to make copies for redistribution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, SevenUnited shall not be required to modify any marketing or advertising materials that may contain such Assets, provided such Assets are not licensed to any third-party Buyers. Licenses granted to Buyers prior to the end of the thirty (30) day period following a Brand’s termination are non-revocable and perpetual and shall not be terminated for any reason, including a Brand’s decision to remove its Assets.

Each Brand is responsible for ensuring that they have provided SevenUnited with accurate payment information. SevenUnited may deduct and/or withhold any costs related to returned or cancelled payments or potentially applicable taxes or other fees required by law to be paid by SevenUnited from an Brand’s past or future Earnings.

  6. Removal of Assets. Each Brand acknowledges and agrees that SevenUnited retains the right to remove or suspend access to any Asset at any time without prior notice if (a) SevenUnited determines, in its sole discretion, that an Asset violates the terms of this Agreement, the Terms and Conditions, the Privacy Policy, quality standards, any other rules or guidelines posted to the Site, or violates any federal, state, or local law or regulation; (b) if SevenUnited receives a complaint that an Asset violates the rights of a third-party including, without exclusion, copyrights, trademarks, right of publicity, and defamation claims; (c) is any way harmful to the Site, SevenUnited, Buyers, or is otherwise objectionable to SevenUnited in its sole discretion.
