The Elf App may contain content from parties other than Oddcast ("Third Party Content"), either through services we offer or through links to third party web sites ("Third Party Sites"). You may also find links to Third Party Content and Third Party Sites in communications you receive from the Elf App. Functionality on the Elf App may also permit interactions between the Elf App and a third party web site or feature, including applications that connect the Elf App or your profile on the Elf App with a third party web site, service or feature. For example, the Elf App may include a feature enabling you to “share” or “post” content from the Elf App or your User Materials with a third party, which may be publicly posted on that third party’s service or application. Using this functionality typically requires you to login to your account on the third party service and you do so at your own risk. Those third parties may collect information about you and your use of the Elf App if you are logged into their service or if you choose to “share” or “post” content to their service or if you log-in to the Elf App using third party credentials. Oddcast does not control, maintain or endorse Third Party Content or Third Party Sites and makes no representations or warranties about either. By using the Elf App, you may be exposed to Third Party Content that is false, offensive, indecent or otherwise objectionable and you agree that Oddcast will not be liable in any way or under any circumstances for any Third Party Content, including, without limitation, any errors or omissions in any Third Party Content or any loss or damage of any kind you may incur as a result of the use of any Third Party Content or Sites posted, stored, accessed or transmitted via the Elf App. YOUR CORRESPONDENCE AND BUSINESS DEALINGS WITH OTHERS FOUND ON OR THROUGH THE ELF APP INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PAYMENT AND DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, AND ANY TERMS, CONDITIONS, WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH ANY SUCH DEALINGS, ARE SOLELY BETWEEN YOU AND THE THIRD PARTY. YOU AGREE TO REVIEW AND EVALUATE ALL POLICIES, RULES, TERMS AND REGULATIONS, INCLUDING THE PRIVACY POLICIES AND TERMS OF USE OF EACH AND ANY THIRD PARTY SITE THAT YOU VISIT, AND BEAR ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH, THIRD PARTY CONTENT AND THIRD PARTY SITES.

You may choose, at your sole and absolute discretion and risk, to use applications that connect the Elf App or your profile on the Elf App with a third party service (each, an “Application”) and such Application may interact with, connect to or gather and/or pull information from and to your Elf App profile. By using such Applications, you acknowledge and agree to the following: (i) if you use an Application to share information about you, you are consenting to the information about you or your account (if any) being shared; (ii) your use of an Application may cause personally identifying information to be publicly disclosed and/or associated with you, even if Oddcast has not provided such information; and (iii) your use of an Application is at your own option and risk, and you will hold the Oddcast harmless for that activity.

Your use of the Widget may display our trademarks contained on the Widget or Content made available via the Widget, but we control the use thereof and all goodwill associated with such use inures exclusively to us. You agree that you will not embed or otherwise make available a Widget on a web page or other location in violation of the prior sentence or that contains content that is distasteful, unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable (in our sole opinion). We make no specific warranties about Widgets and we may discontinue providing the services necessary for the Widgets to operate at any time for any reason without any liability to you. In addition, we may disable Widgets that you include on your Personal Page(s) if you violate this Agreement (as determined by us in our sole discretion), or for any or no reason, without any liability to you. You agree that our permission to you to use Widgets on your Personal Page does not provide you (or any third party) with any intellectual property rights in or to the Widget or the Content made available via any Widget. You agree that you will not sell, lease, hypothecate, transfer, license, encumber or otherwise exploit the Content, in whole or in part, or purport to give any third party permission to do so. This includes a prohibition on you or a third party overlaying or otherwise associating advertising with the Widget or Content. You agree to include, and not remove or alter, our trademark, copyright or other proprietary rights notices, as provided by us on a Widget, Widget code or Content made available via a Widget and you agree to comply with Widget usage guidelines that may be provided by us from time to time.

You also agree to not use (or attempt to use) any Widget, or any component of a Widget, to display content other than the specific Content provided or intended by us to be displayed via a particular Widget. Any of the Content made available in connection with your site, or otherwise, by our Widgets, third party widgets or otherwise is our exclusive property and no grant of any intellectual property rights is made by Oddcast.

14. COPYRIGHTS AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RELATED COMPLAINTS:

Only the intellectual property rights owner or person authorized to act on behalf of the owner can report potentially infringing content. If you have a good faith belief that content on the Elf Apps infringes your copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights, please follow the procedures set forth below.

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”), Oddcast has a designated agent for receiving notices of copyright infringement and Oddcast follows the notice and take down procedures of the DMCA. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide Oddcast's copyright agent the following information required by the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the DMCA, 17 U.S.C. § 512: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyright work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site; (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material; (d) information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Oddcast's copyright agent for notice of claims of copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property infringement on or regarding the Elf App can be reached as follows:

If a dispute develops as to the correct owner of the rights in question, we reserve the right to remove your content along with that of the alleged infringer pending resolution of the matter.
