PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES

Certain activities are prohibited on this Site, with the Services, and on the network and servers supporting this Site (the "Network"). Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to, using the Services, Network, or Site in such a manner as to damage, destruct, impair in any way, disable, overburden, or introduce computer viruses to the Site, attempting to access restricted areas of the Site through any means, using slanderous or profane language in any areas involving communications of the Site, or interfering with the use of this Site by another party. TCC will have no responsibility or liability arising from any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information on the Site. TCC will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing TCC to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or activities.

PERMISSIONS YOU GIVE US

We need certain permissions from you to provide our services:

• Permission to update software you use or download: If you download or use our software, you give us permission to download and install updates to the software, where available.
• Permission to use content you create and share: Some content that you share or upload, such as photos or videos, may be protected by intellectual property laws.

You own the intellectual property rights (things like copyright or trademarks) in any such content that you create and share on TCC. Nothing in these Terms takes away the rights you have to your own content. You are free to share your content with anyone else, wherever you want.

However, to provide our services we need you to give us some legal permissions (known as a ‘license’) to use this content. This is solely for the purposes of providing and improving our Products and Services.

Specifically, when you share, post, or upload content that is covered by intellectual property rights on or in connection with our Products, you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, and worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content. This means, for example, that when you upload a photo on TCC, you give us permission to store, copy, and share it with others (again, consistent with your settings) for marketing and advertising. This license will end when your content is deleted from our system. You can delete content individually or all at once by deleting your account. Learn more about how to delete your account.

When you delete content, it is no longer visible to other users; however, it may continue to exist elsewhere on our systems where:

• immediate deletion is not possible due to technical limitations (in which case, your content will be deleted within a maximum of 90 days from when you delete it);
• your content has been used by others in accordance with this license and they have not deleted it (in which case this license will continue to apply until that content is deleted); or

where immediate deletion would restrict our ability to:

• investigate or identify illegal activity or violations of our terms and policies (for example, to identify or investigate misuse of our Products or Systems);
• comply with a legal obligation, such as the preservation of evidence; or
• comply with a request of a judicial or administrative authority, law enforcement or a government agency; in which case, the content will be retained for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it has been retained (the exact duration will vary on a case-by-case basis).

In each of the above cases, this license will continue until the content has been fully deleted.
