This special license allows the company to copy, publish, and analyze content you submit to the forum.

When the content you submit is removed from the forum, whether by you or by the company, the company’s special license ends when the last copy disappears from the company’s backups, caches, and other systems. Other licenses you apply to content you submit, such as Creative Commons licenses, may continue after your content is removed. These licenses may allow others, or the company itself, to share your content again through the forum.

You may not assign your agreement with the company. The company may assign your agreement to any affiliate of the company, to any other company that obtains control of the company, or to any other company that purchases assets of the company related to the forum. Any attempt to assign these terms without effect is null.

Neither exercising a right under this Agreement, nor waiving a breach of this Agreement, constitutes a waiver of any other breach of this Agreement.

These terms embody all the terms of the agreement made between you and the company concerning the use of the forum. These terms completely replace any other agreement concerning your use of the forum, whether written or not.
