We may also offer online discussions moderated by various experts or other persons.

Much of the content of the Forums, including without limitation the descriptions for many Forums and the content within a specific message, comment or posting, is provided by and is the responsibility of the third party creator of the Forum or the person posting in that Forum.

d) Grant of Rights:

To the extent you are the original copyright holder of any post or submission by you to a Forum and such post or submission does not contain any of the information or material of SOME INSPIRED THOUGHTS or other information you are required to preserve as confidential by SOME INSPIRED THOUGHTS, then; i) you remain owner of such post or submission to the extent you were the owner; ii) you automatically grant on behalf of yourself or otherwise warrant that the owner of such content or intellectual property has expressly granted SOME INSPIRED THOUGHTS, a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, world-wide nonexclusive license to use, reproduce, create derivative works from, modify, publish, edit, translate, distribute, perform, display, and/or otherwise exploit, the post, submission, communication or content in any media or medium, or any form, format, or forum now known or hereafter developed; and iii) you agree and warrant that SOME INSPIRED THOUGHTS may sublicense or assign its rights through multiple tiers of sublicenses or assigns.

Waiver:

The failure of either party to require performance by the other party of any provision of this agreement shall not affect in any way the first party’s right to require such performance at any time thereafter.
