Statement of Rights and Responsibilities

This Statement of Rights and Responsibilities ("Statement") come from theAdSquare founders, and governs our relationship with users and others who interact with theAdSquare. By using or accessing theAdSquare, you agree to this Statement.

  1. Privacy

    Your privacy is very important to us. We designed our Privacy Policy to make important disclosures about how you can use theAdSquare to advertise to the public and how we collect and can use your content and information.

For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like logo's and [images], you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with theAdSquare. This IP License ends when you delete your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
    2. When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time.
    3. We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about theAdSquare, but you understand that we may use them without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).
