  1. USER SUBMISSIONS

The Site contains Interactive Functions allowing you to submit, post, publish, contribute, make available, display, or transmit (“submit”) photos, videos, graphics, sounds, texts, questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, feedback, reviews, testimonials, and other information and materials (collectively, “User Submissions”) to the Site, to other users or other persons.

You understand and agree that none of the User Submissions will be subject to any confidentiality by us and we will be entitled to the unrestricted use and dissemination of these User Submissions for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without your acknowledgment or compensation to you. By submitting User Submissions, you hereby grant to DPP Golf, its successors and assigns, now and in the future, a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid, transferable, sub-licensable, perpetual, irrevocable license to use, copy, reproduce, modify, alter, adapt, translate, perform, publish, display, distribute, store, transmit, stream, broadcast, make available, create derivative works, and disclose to third parties any such User Submissions for any purpose and to incorporate such material into any form, medium or technology now known or later developed throughout the world, and you further waive any moral rights or other rights of authorship to such User Submissions.

By submitting User Submissions, you represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to submit the User Submissions and have the right to grant such licenses to us without infringement or violation of any third party rights, including, without limitation, any privacy rights, rights of publicity, copyrights, and any other intellectual property or proprietary rights. You further represent and warrant that all User Submissions submitted by you comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations and the Conditions of Use and Site Content Standards set out in these Terms.

You understand and agree that you, not DPP Golf, are fully responsible for any User Submissions you submit, and you are fully responsible and legally liable, including to another user or any third party, for such content and its accuracy. We are not responsible or legally liable to any third party for the content or accuracy of any User Submissions submitted by you.

  1. BROADCASTS OF USER SHOTS AND ROUNDS

One of DPP Golf’s Interactive Functions involves you uploading videos (User Submissions) to the Site via an application (the “DPP App”), and us generating broadcasts of your golf shots and/or rounds using our proprietary technology.

Here’s the way it works: you play a round of golf, use the DPP App to record shots, and we auto-generate a broadcast video of your selections (the “Broadcast Video”). The Broadcast Video can be comprised of a specific shot, a combination of shots (up to your entire round). After the Broadcast Video is generated, you can share individual shots, share multiple shots, or share the complete round with your networks. You can even share a highlight version of your round, or combine highlights from one round with highlights from other rounds.

Once DPP generates your Broadcast Video, it will be accessible through a link to the Site. Here are terms and conditions on your use of the DPP App to allow us to generate Broadcast Videos for you:

  • You can only access the Broadcast Videos via the Site; they cannot be downloaded. Your access to the Broadcast Videos and data only exists as long as you are a paid user of the DPP App.
  • If you cancel your account or do not renew your APP subscription and re-join DPP Golf at a later time, your previous Broadcast Videos and related data may not be available or accessible.
  • If you reset your account (and by doing so, you acknowledge that all previous videos and data may be eliminated), your previous Broadcast Videos and related data may not be available in the future
  • You grant to DPP Golf, its successors and assigns, now and in the future, a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid, transferable, sub-licensable, perpetual, irrevocable license to use, copy, reproduce, modify, alter, adapt, translate, perform, publish, display, distribute, store, transmit, stream, broadcast, make available, create derivative works, and disclose to third parties any such Broadcast Videos for any purpose, and to incorporate such material into any form, medium or technology now known or later developed throughout the world, including after such time you are a DPP Golf user, and you further waive any moral rights or other rights of authorship to any and all such Broadcast Videos.
  • You acknowledge that DPP may use your Broadcast Videos for marketing and promotion purposes – including on multiple feeds on multiple sites, whether shared or not by you to your own networks.
  • You will be able to choose a genre of music to accompany your Broadcast Video, but not specific songs. You waive any complaints pertaining to the subject matter of the accompanying music for the genre you select even if the genre playing is not the genre you had selected.
  • Your Broadcast Video may include an auto-generated commentator for your shots and/or rounds. You waive any complaints pertaining to the subject matter of this commentary.
  • Like other forms of User Submissions, you understand and agree that you, not DPP Golf, are fully responsible for any raw video content you upload to the DPP App, and you are fully responsible and legally liable – including to another user or any third party – for such content and its accuracy. We are not responsible or legally liable to any third party for the content or accuracy of any videos or other related content uploaded by you.

On our end of things, we will generate the Broadcast Videos to the best of our ability, but we cannot guarantee there will not be errors or mistakes as a result of our software interacting with your uploaded content. As a result, you acknowledge that we are not responsible for an error (or errors) in the Broadcast Video resulting in wrong information (e.g. course name, hole number, scores, yardages, etc.).

All Broadcast Videos generated by DPP Golf will contain a “Powered by DPP Golf” watermark, which must not be removed or blocked by users.

We will also store and backup your Broadcast Videos on our servers, and do the best to protect them from theft and/or damage. However, you acknowledge, in conjunction with section 12(b) below, that we are not responsible if they are no longer available for any reason. We store the Broadcast Videos associated with your account for free up to a total of 10 GB however if you exceed that storage limit, we reserve the right to charge you for additional storage (which will be communicated to you in advance). We also reserve the right to change our standard individual user storage limit at any time.
