  1. Idea submission policy

Nidecker (“Nidecker” or “we” or “us”) wants to hear from you! We love feedback, and we want to encourage user participation in our creative processes, but we get a lot of submissions, so we have to lay down some rules. We have created this idea submission policy (the “Submission Policy”) with regard to the Website located at http://www.etnies.com/ and any affiliated websites (together, collectively the “Website”).

Except where expressly provided otherwise by Nidecker, all comments, feedback, information and data submitted to Nidecker through, in association with or in regard to the Website and/or any other Nidecker goods or services (“Submissions”) shall be considered non-confidential and Nidecker‘s property. This may not include copyright ownership of images which you may upload, but does include an express license to use said images in any method Nidecker sees fit and make compilations and derivative works thereof in all media now known or hereafter devised. Except as expressly enumerated in the preceding sentence, by providing such Submissions to Nidecker, you agree to assign to Nidecker, as consideration in exchange for the use of the Website, all worldwide rights, title and interest in copyrights and other intellectual property rights to the Submissions. You represent that you have the right to grant Nidecker these rights. Nidecker shall be free to use and/or disseminate such Submissions on an unrestricted basis for any purpose. You acknowledge that you are responsible for the Submissions that you provide, and that you, not Nidecker, have full responsibility for the Submissions, including their legality, reliability, appropriateness, originality and copyright.

All Submissions must be true, and in accordance with the rights of privacy and publicity and all federal, state and international law. You may not upload an image or any likeness of another without their consent (or the consent of their parent or guardian if they are under the age of 18). If you do so, Nidecker reserves the right to cancel or suspend your account. Furthermore, Nidecker reserves the right to cancel or suspend your account, if in its sole discretion, it believes you are using Nidecker for improper purposes, or any purpose inconsistent with its business.

You will not post any Submission that (a) is defamatory, abusive, harassing, threatening, or an invasion of a right of privacy of another person; (b) bigoted, hateful, or racially or otherwise offensive; © is violent, vulgar, obscene, pornographic or otherwise sexually explicit; or (d) otherwise harms or can reasonably be expected to harm any person or entity

Nidecker reserves the right, but disclaims any obligation or responsibility, to (a) refuse to post or communicate or remove any Submission from any Nidecker site that violates these Terms of Use and (b) identify any user to third parties, and/or disclose to third parties any Submission or personally identifiable information, when we believe in good faith that such identification or disclosure will either (i) facilitate compliance with laws, including, for example, compliance with a court order or subpoena, or (ii) help to enforce these Terms of Use and/or protect the safety or security of any person or property, including any Nidecker site. Moreover, we retain all rights to remove Submissions at any time for any reason or no reason whatsoever.

Nidecker does not accept Submissions from persons under the age of 13.
