KOYI cannot warrant the security of the information disclosed by the User in such services. Such disclosure will be done under the User ´s sole responsibility. KOYI recommends Users to provide alias, nicknames or similar in such forums and invites participants not to provide any personal data to prevent ill-natured persons making use of such information.

The Users will be solely responsible of the content of the messages submitted to the forums. KOYI is not responsible for the contents and opinions published in the forums.

KOYI reserves the right to eliminate and/or modify the content of any such message of a forum, at any time and at its sole discretion.

KOYI warns all Users about some precautions to be adopted before accessing a forum. Users accessing a forum shall not, for instance, presume that the other participants are who they claim to be, know what they claim to know, are related with whom they claim to be.

It is absolutely forbidden to send such cards and mobile messages through massive mailings or automated programs. The electronic cards and mobile messages must not contain inappropriate language or contents from third parties and may not promote illegal activities. The electronic cards and mobiles messages which do not comply with these rules must not be sent, and the User shall be responsible for making use of them. The User shall also be responsible for providing the recipient ´s e-mail and undertakes that it has obtained the prior consent from such person. KOYI shall access such address solely for the purpose of sending such message or card, without maintaining any such data for any other purposes. The User must avoid sending any such message through the KOYI Sites without the recipients consent.

The provisions established in the preceding paragraph shall apply to all voluntary contributions.

When sending voluntary contributions, the User warrants and agrees that such submission is voluntary and that he/she does not expect any contribution, remuneration or action from KOYI. Consequently, the User agrees that such submission does not constitute the establishment with KOYI of a commercial, contractual or legal binding relationship over such contents.

The User warrants and agrees that the content of any kind that he/she may send to KOYI, whether under an invitation to do so or not, will not remain under the intellectual property of the User. KOYI is therefore authorized by the User to use such content, if appropriate, without undertaking any obligation with such User who hereby waives all rights and actions recognized by the applicable law.

The User acknowledges and agrees that by sending any voluntary contributions, be it by invitation or not, he/she is expressly consenting the discretional use of such content by KOYI without consideration or further obligation of any kind.

In the event that any of the contents submitted by the User were protected by any intellectual and/or industrial property right, the User understands and agrees that by publishing or uploading any such contents in the KOYI Sites, he/ she is automatically and irrevocably:

  1. assigning and conferring KOYI any and all rights related to the User ´s contents, throughout the world, including, without limitation, the intellectual property rights to fixate, reproduce, distribute, communicate and broadcast, make available, transform, modify, publish, develop any derivate products and proceed with any commercial exploitation by KOYI, or any of KOYI assignees, by any means and in any format, whether now known or developed in the future, in whole or in part, without any consideration to the User or to any third party, to the full extent of the term of any such rights (including any extensions or renewals) and, to the extent permitted by the law, to perpetuity;
  2. waiving any moral rights over the contents to which the User may be entitled in any part of the world and to the extent permitted by the law;
  3. conferring KOYI full powers to execute any document and/or to undertake any action which KOYI may deem appropriate to confirm such conferral of rights, assignment, license and renouncement hereby granted, in which case the User agrees to cooperate with KOYI to any such purpose;
  4. warranting KOYI that he/she is the owner of the submitted content and that the User is entitled to agree and fulfill the Terms of Use of this agreement;
  5. agreeing that any of the User ´s contents shall not be subject to any obligation, nor any confidential compromise or otherwise with the own User or any third party and warranting that KOYI shall be free to use or distribute any such contents.

With respect to the voluntary contributions, the User expressly warrants and agrees that he/she has obtained the previous consent and authorization of any person participating in such contributions. In particular, the User warrants that he/she has previously obtained the consent of any person appearing in pictures or participating in creative contents.
