Welcome to the Internet sites of the Walt Disney Internet Group ("WDIG").
"WDIG Sites" include Disney.com, ABCNEWS.com, ABC.com,
ESPN.com, DisneyShopping.com, Go.com, Movies.com, FamilyFun.com, and
other Internet sites on which these terms of use are posted. WDIG and
any and all entities that control, are controlled by, or are affiliated
or under common control with, WDIG are collectively referred to herein
as "we," "us" or "our".
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING ANY WDIG SITE.
By using any WDIG Site or by clicking a box that states that you accept
or agree to these terms, you signify your agreement to these terms of
use. If you do not agree to these terms of use, you may not use the
WDIG Sites.
Note that special terms apply to some
services offered on certain WDIG Sites, like subscription-based services,
rules for particular contests or sweepstakes or other features or activities.
These terms are posted in connection with the applicable service. Any
such terms are in addition to these terms of use, and in the event of
a conflict, prevail over these terms of use.
You acknowledge that these terms of use
are supported by reasonable and valuable consideration, the receipt
and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, you acknowledge that such consideration
includes your use of the WDIG Sites and receipt of data, materials and
information available at or through the WDIG Sites, the possibility
of our use or display of your Solicited Submissions (as defined below
in Section 3, entitled “SUBMISSIONS”) and the possibility of the
publicity and promotion from our use or display of your Solicited Submissions.
2. USE OF
CONTENT
All information, materials, functions and other content (including Submissions,
as defined in Section 3, entitled “SUBMISSIONS”) (“Content”)
contained on WDIG Sites are our copyrighted property or the copyrighted
property of our licensors or licensees. All trademarks, service marks,
trade names, and trade dress are proprietary to us and/or our licensors
or licensees. We may change the WDIG Sites or delete Content or
features at any time, in any way, for any or no reason.
Except as we specifically agree in writing, no Content from any WDIG Site may be used, reproduced, transmitted, distributed or otherwise exploited in any way other than as part of the WDIG Site, except that where a WDIG Site is configured to enable the download of particular Content, you may download one copy of such Content to a single computer for your personal, noncommercial home use only, provided that you (a) keep intact all copyright and other proprietary notices, (b) make no modifications to the Content, and (c) do not use the Content in a manner that suggests an association with any of our products, services or brands. Any business use, "re-mailing" or high-volume or automated use of WDIG Sites is prohibited.
In the event that we offer downloads of software on a WDIG Site and
you download such software, the software, including any files, images
incorporated in or generated by the software, and data accompanying
the software (collectively, the "Software") are licensed
to you by us or third-party licensors for your personal, noncommercial
home use only. We do not transfer title to the Software to you. You
may not distribute or otherwise exploit the Software or decompile, reverse
engineer, disassemble or otherwise reduce the Software to a human-readable
form.
3. SUBMISSIONS
In these terms of use, we use the word “Submissions” to mean
text, messages, ideas, concepts, pitches, suggestions, stories, screenplays,
treatments, formats, artwork, photographs, drawings, videos, audiovisual
works, musical compositions (including lyrics), sound recordings, characterizations,
your and/or other persons' names, likenesses, voices, usernames, profiles,
actions, appearances, performances and/or other biographical information
or material, and/or other similar materials that you submit, post, upload,
embed, display, communicate or otherwise distribute (collectively, “Distribute”)
on or through a WDIG Site.
There are two types of Submissions: Solicited Submissions and Unsolicited Submissions. “Solicited Submissions” means those Submissions (a) that we expressly request or enable you to provide to us via any feature or activity on a WDIG Site for our review or display and possible specifically-defined consideration or compensation (collectively, “Consideration”) (such as prizes or other value in games, sweepstakes, contests and promotions); and (b) that you Distribute on or through any WDIG Site for which you do not seek Consideration (such as in our Guest Services and in Public Forums (as defined below in Section 6, entitled “PUBLIC FORUMS AND COMMUNICATION”)). “Unsolicited Submissions” are any and all Submissions that do not fall within subparagraphs (a) or (b) of this paragraph.
DO NOT DISTRIBUTE ANY UNSOLICITED SUBMISSIONS; NO IMPLIED CONTRACT.
Our long-standing company policy does not allow us to accept or consider Unsolicited Submissions so please do not Distribute Unsolicited Submissions on or through any WDIG Sites. We want to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings when projects developed by us or under our direction might seem to others to be similar to their own creative work. We therefore ask that you not Distribute any Unsolicited Submission. In any event, you agree that any Submissions you make is not being made in confidence or trust and that no confidential or fiduciary relationship is intended or created between you and us in any way, and that you have no expectation of any review, compensation or consideration of any type (other than any stated Consideration)..
Except as expressly stated in these terms of use, the provisions of these terms of use apply equally to Unsolicited Submissions and Solicited Submissions. Accordingly, we, our licensees, distributors, agents, representatives and other authorized users shall be entitled to exploit and disclose all Submissions, and we shall not be liable to you or to any person claiming through you for any exploitation or disclosure of any Submission.
4. LICENSES AND REPRESENTATIONS
You hereby grant us and our licensees,
distributors, agents, representatives and other authorized users, a
perpetual, non-exclusive, irrevocable, fully-paid, royalty-free, sub-licensable
and transferable (in whole or part) worldwide license under all copyrights,
trademarks, patents, trade secrets, privacy and publicity rights and

removing lyrics and music from any Submission or substituting the lyrics
and music in any Submission with music and lyrics selected by us), create
derivative works based upon, perform and otherwise exploit such Submissions,
in whole or in part, in all media formats and channels now known or
hereafter devised (including on WDIG Sites, on third party web sites,

wireless platforms, products and services, on physical media, and in
theatrical release) for any and all purposes including entertainment,
news, advertising, promotional, marketing, publicity, trade or commercial
purposes, all without further notice to you, with or without attribution,
and without the requirement of any permission from or payment to you
or to any other person or entity (the "Submissions License").
By communicating a Submission, you represent
and warrant that the Submission and your communication thereof conform
to the Rules of Conduct (set forth below in Section 7 labeled "RULES
OF CONDUCT")) and other requirements of these terms of use and
that you own or have the necessary rights, licenses, consents and permissions,
without the need for any permission from or payment to any other person
or entity, to exploit, and to authorize us to exploit, such Submission
in all manners contemplated by these terms of use (including the Submissions
License). These terms of use (including the Submissions License) do
not limit any past or future grant of rights, consents, agreements,
assignments and waivers you may have made or make with respect to Submissions.
To the extent that any Submissions you
Distribute on or through WDIG Sites contain original songs or recordings,
you hereby represent that you are a member of ASCAP, BMI, SESAC or any
other applicable performing rights society and that all musical compositions
(including lyrics) and sound recordings contained in such Submissions
are available for licensing to us (and our licensees, distributors,
agents, representatives and other authorized users) directly from such
societies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, regardless of whether you
are a member of any performing rights society, you grant the Submissions
License with respect to each and every musical composition (including
lyrics) and sound recordings contained in such Submissions.
To the extent that we solicit Submissions
through features or activities on or through WDIG Sites (including games,
sweepstakes, contests, promotions and Public Forums (defined below in
Section 6, labeled "PUBLIC FORUMS AND COMMUNICATION")) that
require the use of our copyrighted works (in whole or in part), we hereby
grant you a non-exclusive license to create a derivative work using
our copyrighted works (in whole or in part) as required (but only as
required, and only for the purpose of creating your Submissions); provided
however, that such license shall be conditioned upon your assignment
of all rights in the work you create to us. If such rights are not assigned
to us, your license to create derivative works using our copyrighted
works (in whole or in part) shall be null and void. You agree to the
foregoing grant of rights, consents, agreements and assignments whether
or not your Submissions are used by us.
You hereby appoint us as your agent with full power to enter into and
execute any document and/or do any act we may consider appropriate to
confirm the grant of rights, consents, agreements, assignments and waivers
set forth in these terms of use.
To the extent any "moral rights," "ancillary rights,"
or similar rights in or to the Submissions exist and are not exclusively
owned by us, you agree not to enforce any such rights as to us or our
licensees, distributors, agents, representatives and other authorized
users, and you shall procure the same agreement not to enforce from
any others who may possess such rights.
Without limiting the scope of the Submissions
License or any future grant of rights, consents, agreements, assignments,
and waivers you may make with respect to Submissions, you hereby ratify
any prior grant of rights, consents, agreements, assignments and waivers
made by you with respect to Submissions submitted by you to us.

to participate or to secure additional benefits. You agree to
provide, maintain and update true, accurate, current and complete information
about yourself as prompted by our registration processes (the "Registration

your identity or affiliation with any person or entity, including using
another person's username, password or other account information, or
another person's name, likeness, voice, image or photograph. You also
agree to promptly notify us at security_breach@help.go.com of any unauthorized use of your username, password,
other account information, or any other breach of security that you
become aware of involving or relating to any WDIG Site. In addition,
you agree to exit from your account at the end of each session.
We may suspend or terminate your account and your ability to use any WDIG Site or portion thereof for failure to comply with these terms of use or any special terms related to a particular service, for infringing copyright, or for any other reason whatsoever.
6. PUBLIC FORUMS AND COMMUNICATION
"Public Forum" means an area, site or feature offered
as part of any WDIG Site that offers the opportunity for users to Distribute
Submissions for viewing by one or more WDIG Site users, including a
chat area, message board, instant messaging, mobile messaging, social
community environment, profile page, conversation page, blog, e-mail
function (including electronic greeting cards and send-a-friend e-mails).
You acknowledge that Public Forums and features offered therein are
for public and not private communications, and you have no expectation
of privacy with regard to any Submission to a public Forum. We cannot
guarantee the security of any information you disclose through any of
these media; you make such disclosures at your own risk.
You are and shall remain solely responsible for the Submissions you
Distribute on or through any WDIG Site under your username or otherwise
by you in any Public Forum and for the consequences of submitting and
posting same. We have no duty to monitor any Public Forum.
Also, you should be skeptical about information
provided by others, and you acknowledge that the use of any Submission
posted in any Public Forum is at your own risk. For example, we are
not responsible for, and we do not endorse, the opinions, advice or
recommendations posted or sent by users in any Public Forum and we specifically
disclaim any and all liability in connection therewith.
We owe you no obligation, and therefore may refuse, to post, deliver,
remove, modify or otherwise use or take any action with respect to Submissions
you Distribute.

such lack of compliance.

remove any Submission from any WDIG Site that violates these terms of
use (including the Rules of Conduct) and (b) identify any user to third
parties, and/or disclose to third parties any Submission or personally
identifiable information, when we believe in good faith that such identification
or disclosure will either (i) facilitate compliance with laws, including,
for example, compliance with a court order or subpoena, or (ii) help
to enforce these terms of use (including the Rules of Conduct) and/or
our contest, sweepstakes, promotions, and game rules, and/or protect
the safety or security of any person or property, including any WDIG
Site. Moreover, we retain all rights to remove Submissions at any time
for any reason or no reason whatsoever.
