If you are accepted into the WOAccelerator program, you will enter into a separate licensing agreement and we may feature the Writing on our Site and in related marketing and promotional materials (both digital and print).
In addition to Writings, when you submit, post, or otherwise engage in direct communications with WO Accelerator (through the use of our Site, via a telephone call with a member of our team, via email, messaging platform, or otherwise) (i.e., send a “Communication”) you also grant us a license to modify, use, adapt, copy, and publish the Communication. You agree that this license includes the right for WO Accelerator to use the Communication for promotional purposes and to improve the Site.
Responsibility for User Content. You understand that you are solely responsible for any Writing or Communication sent to WO Accelerator. By uploading a Writing or sending a Communication to WO Accelerator, you represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to the Writing and that you’re not infringing or violating any third party’s rights by uploading the Writing, including, but not limited to, privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, trademark and/or other intellectual property rights. You agree that the Writing or Communication provided to WO Accelerator is non-confidential and that WO Accelerator has the right to unrestricted use for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment or compensation to you.
