(9) How you may use material on the Platform. We or our affiliates are the owner or the licensee of all Intellectual Property Rights in the Platform, and in the material published on it. Those works are protected by copyright laws and treaties around the world. All such rights are reserved. Don't copy, download, or use our content without permission. You must not use any illustrations, photographs, video or audio sequences or any graphics separately from any accompanying text. Our status (and that of any identified contributors) as the authors of content on the Platform must always be acknowledged (except where content is user-generated).

(10) Don't use our trade marks or service marks without our prior written consent.

(11) Uploading content to the Platform. If applicable, whenever you upload content to the Platform, or make contact with other users of the Platform, you must comply with the content standards set out in our Acceptable Use Policy. You warrant that any such contribution does comply with those standards, and you will be liable to us and indemnify us for any breach of that warranty. This means you will be responsible for any loss or damage we suffer as a result of your breach of warranty. Any content you upload to the Platform will be considered non-confidential, non-privileged and non-proprietary. You are solely responsible for securing and backing up your content. You retain all of your ownership rights in your content and grant us the User Content License.

Unless otherwise agreed when you upload or post content to the Platform, or supply it to us for podcasts or other audio-visual or written publications and productions, or events, and related marketing materials, whether we are the organiser, host, featured guest or attendee, or otherwise, you grant us the following rights to use that content: a worldwide, non-exclusive, fully paid-up, royalty-free, transferable licence to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, publish and perform that content, in full or in part, including your name, voice, image, likeness and business trade mark(s) or service mark(s), in connection with our Business and Services, anywhere, including across different media, including to promote our Business and Services (“User Content License”). You may terminate the Customer License, subject to any specific license terms and conditions agreed, with 180 days’ written notice.

The provisions in this clause should be treated as an express reservation of our rights in this regard, including for the purposes of Article 4(3) of Digital Copyright Directive ((EU) 2019/790). This clause shall not apply insofar as (but only to the extent that) we are unable to exclude or limit text or data mining or web scraping activity by contract under the laws which are applicable to us.
