we7 will make reasonable efforts to keep the we7 website operational. However, certain technical difficulties, routine site maintenance/upgrades and any other events outside the control of we7 may, from time to time, result in temporary service interruptions. we7 also reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, functions of the we7 Service with or without notice. You agree that we7 shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any of the direct or indirect consequences of any modification, suspension, discontinuance of or interruption to the we7 Service.

7. Proprietary Rights, Royalty Payments, Rights Owners and Payment Events

You shall enter into a separate Digital Distribution Services Agreement ("the DDS Agreement") with us which shall detail the terms of our agreement with respect to any Materials that you wish to submit to we7. For the avoidance of doubt we7 does not claim any ownership rights in any Materials that you submit, post, or display on or through the we7 Services or on the we7 website. After submitting, posting or displaying Materials on or through the we7 Services or on the we7 website, you will continue to retain all ownership rights in such Materials, and you will continue to have the right to use your Materials in any way you choose. By submitting, posting or displaying any Materials on or through the we7 Service and entering into the DDS Agreement you will have granted to we7 a limited license to use, modify, publicly perform, stream, publicly display, reproduce, and distribute such Materials (including for the avoidance of doubt allowing we7 the right to embed advertisements and/or messages in or around the Materials and include any Materials as part of RSS feeds and/or Podcasts) solely on and/or through the we7 Service.

The license you grant to we7 via the DDS Agreement will be non-exclusive (meaning you are free to license your Materials to anyone else in addition to we7), and any royalty/payment to you will be covered in the DDS Agreement. In the event of a payment becoming due, the payment will be made to the single person/account authorised as being responsible for receiving payment as communicated to us in writing at the time of registration and we7 will not be responsible to share proceeds from downloads to rights owners other than the single contact identified at registration. As specified in the DDS Agreement given the potential transaction costs, we7 and the rights owners agree that payments will only be made when the cumulative download balance exceeds £20 (Twenty Pounds UK Sterling) and a payment account will be classed as dormant and will cease to become due for payment or any liability if the total payment due is less than £20 and no active transactions have occurred for a period of 12(twelve) months.

By entering into the DDS Agreement you will have granted us the right to stream your materials and that any streaming of your materials for purpose of reviewing content will be royalty free (meaning we7 is not required to make any payment) and we7 will be entitled to sublicense all rights granted by you (so that we7 is able to use its affiliates and subcontractors such as Internet content delivery networks to provide the we7 Service). You represent and warrant that:

we7 and its affiliates and licensors own and retain all rights in the we7 web site and we7 Service, which contain proprietary and confidential information that is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws, including without limitation all (1) text, (2) software, (3) photographs, (4) graphics, (5) page layout, and (6) design presented through and as part of the we7 Service by we7. Except as expressly authorized by we7 you may not copy, modify, publish, transmit, distribute, perform, display or sell any of we7's proprietary information. 'we7' is a trademark of we7, Ltd.

8. No Refunds

All such sales are final and a sale is confirmed immediately when you begin to download paid for content from the we7 Website and you will have no right to cancel your contract once the sale commences. The we7 service enables you to preview content for free and this ability to preview content prior to purchase will assist in your decision making prior to purchase.
