Our Site may include links to other sites on the Internet, or be accessed from other sites on the Internet, that are owned and operated by online merchants and other third parties, and which may contain references to information, software, materials, products, and/or services provided by the third party. These third party sites may contain information which some people consider inappropriate or offensive.

Intellectual Property
- Tribute's Intellectual Property Rights. Tribute is the owner and retains all proprietary rights to the Site, the services provided by the Site, and all associated copyrights, trademarks, brands, service marks, patents or other proprietary rights under law. You are permitted to use the Site and its content only as specifically authorized by us.
- Tribute's trademarks and/or service marks may not be used in connection with any product or service that is not provided by Tribute, in any manner that is likely to cause confusion among customers or users of the site, tarnishes or dilutes the marks, or disparages or discredits Tribute.
- Tribute's software and services available on the Site are the subject of pending patent application(s), and you are granted a limited right to use such software and services only in conjunction with the Site and in accordance with these Terms of Service.
- Others' Intellectual Property Rights. Tribute deeply respects the third party intellectual property rights that may be implicated in creating a Tribute Video. These intellectual property rights, and your responsibilities with respect to these rights, are outlined below.
- In creating a Tribute Video using Tribute's proprietary software, you will be able to use your own Image Content such as photos, graphics, text, or video segments. You will be able to select Musical Content available from Tribute. Both the Image Content and Musical Content have associated intellectual property rights as described further herein. You retain any and all rights you hold with respect to Image Content.
- Image Content may be protected by copyright, even if not marked with the © symbol. If you are not the creator of Image Content, then you must get permission from the creator of the Image Content or the copyright holder to use the Image Content in a Tribute Video. For example, professionally-taken photographs should not be used in a Tribute Video unless you have received permission from the photographer to do so. As another example, professionally-produced video clips, such as clips of TV shows or movies, should not be used in a Tribute Video unless you have received a license to do so from the owner of the copyright.
- Furthermore, if you want to publish Image Content of someone other than yourself, you must get permission from the individuals portrayed in the Image Content before using the content in a Tribute Video. Do not upload any Image Content that is confidential or proprietary. We assume no liability with respect to the disclosure or use of confidential or proprietary information uploaded to our Site.
- Musical Content that is not an original creation by you is also protectable under copyright laws. Copying music without purchasing or obtaining the rights to the music is against the law. You must be sure that you have the permission to use such Musical Content in a Tribute Video. If you are unsure whether you have the necessary rights to use music in a Tribute Video, we encourage you to choose Musical Content available through Tribute. You agree that you will not alter or modify the fundamental character of any music available through Tribute or third party sites linked to by our Site.
- You may want to search for Musical Content or Image Content through the Creative Commons.
- You warrant that all Tribute Videos, inclusive of all Image Content and Musical Content they may contain, which have been uploaded by you, either from your own computer or another Site/server, do not infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any third parties, and are either created and solely owned by you, or that you have the necessary licenses, rights and permissions to post your Tribute Videos as contemplated by the Site and to grant Tribute and the Tribute Organizer the rights described herein.
- You hereby grant to Tribute and to the Tribute Organizer, and each of their successors and assignees, a royalty-free, perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, fully paid-up, transferrable, sub-licensable, irrevocable license to use, copy, create, modify, display, edit, reproduce, publish, retain, translate, excerpt, transmit, adapt, create derivatives of, distribute, and otherwise use your Tribute Video, inclusive of all Image Content and Musical Content it may contain, in any form or medium whatsoever, whether now known or hereinafter invented, for any and all purposes and to the extent necessary for Tribute to provide the Services as described herein. Such license shall include, but not be limited to, permission to incorporate your Tribute Video, or any portion thereof, into other videos, materials, or content, and to feature the Tribute Video, or any portion thereof, on a website or social media channel managed by Tribute or the Tribute Organizer. In granting this license, you also recognize that you shall have no rights in any materials utilizing the Tribute Video or created by Tribute or the Tribute Organizer in connection with your grant of license under these Terms of Service. Tribute and/or the Tribute Organizer, as the case may be, shall at all times retain all rights, title, and interest in and to all of the copyrights, trademarks, and all other proprietary rights in any and all materials created by it in connection with your grant of license under this Agreement.
