When you upload, submit, store, send or receive content to or through
9 10 Steve Welburn
our Services, you give Google (and those we work with) a worldwide
10 10 Steve Welburn
license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works
11 10 Steve Welburn
(such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes
12 10 Steve Welburn
we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate,
13 10 Steve Welburn
publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content.
14 10 Steve Welburn
The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating,
15 10 Steve Welburn
promoting, and improving our Services, and to develop new ones. This license
16 10 Steve Welburn
continues even if you stop using our Services (for example, for a business
17 10 Steve Welburn
listing you have added to Google Maps). Some Services may offer you ways to
18 10 Steve Welburn
access and remove content that has been provided to that Service. Also, in
19 10 Steve Welburn
some of our Services, there are terms or settings that narrow the scope of
20 10 Steve Welburn
our use of the content submitted in those Services. Make sure you have the
21 10 Steve Welburn
necessary rights to grant us this license for any content that you submit
22 10 Steve Welburn
to our Services.

and improve Microsoft products and services. For example, we may

malware, or to improve the services with new features that makes them
41 1 Steve Welburn

3.1. Who owns my Content that I put on the Services? You do. Some Services
48 11 Steve Welburn
enable you to communicate with others and share or store various types of
49 11 Steve Welburn
files, such as photos, documents, music and video. The contents of your
50 11 Steve Welburn
communications and your files are your “Content” and, except for material
51 11 Steve Welburn
that we license to you that may be incorporated into your own Content (such
52 11 Steve Welburn
as clip art), we don't claim ownership of the Content you provide on the
53 11 Steve Welburn
Services. Your Content remains your Content, and you're responsible for it.

56 11 Steve Welburn
your Content. However, if you share Content in public areas of the Services,
57 11 Steve Welburn
through features that permit public sharing of Content, or in shared areas
58 11 Steve Welburn
available to others you’ve chosen, you agree that anyone you've shared Content
59 11 Steve Welburn
with may, for free, use, save, reproduce, distribute, display, and transmit
60 11 Steve Welburn
that Content in connection with their use of the Services and other Microsoft,
61 11 Steve Welburn
or its licensees’, products, and services. If you don't want others to have
62 11 Steve Welburn
that ability, don't use the Services to share your Content. You represent and
63 11 Steve Welburn
warrant that for the duration of this Agreement you have (and will have) all
64 11 Steve Welburn
the rights necessary for the Content you upload or share on the Services and

use Content as necessary: to provide the Services to you, to protect you, and to
71 11 Steve Welburn
improve Microsoft products and services. Microsoft uses and protects your Content
