YOUR CONTENT

Content that you post using our Services is your content (so let’s refer to it as “Your Content”). We don’t make any claim to it, which includes anything you post using our Services (like shop names, profile pictures, listing photos, listing descriptions, reviews, comments, videos, usernames, etc.).

 

Responsibility for Your Content.

 

You understand that you are solely responsible for Your Content. You represent that you have all necessary rights to all parts of Your Content and that you’re not infringing or violating any third party’s rights by posting it.

 

Permission to Use Your Content.

 

By posting Your Content through our Services, you grant Raymart a license to use it. We don’t claim any ownership to Your Content, but we have your permission to use it to help Raymart function and grow.

For example, you acknowledge and agree Raymart may offer you or Raymart buyers promotions on the Site, from time to time, that may relate to your listings

 

Rights You Grant Raymart. (Here’s the legalese version of the previous section).

 

By posting Your Content, you grant Raymart a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, sub-licensable, perpetual license to use, display, edit, modify, reproduce, distribute, store, and prepare derivative works of Your Content.

Reporting Unauthorised Content.

 

Raymart has great respect for intellectual property rights, and is committed to following appropriate legal procedures to remove infringing content from the Services. If content that you own or have rights to has been posted to the Services without your permission and you want it removed, please follow the steps listed in our Intellectual Property Policy. If Your Content is alleged to infringe another person’s intellectual property, we will take appropriate action, such as disabling it if we receive a report of infringement that complies with our policies, or terminating your account if you are found to be a repeat infringer. We’ll notify you if any of that happens.

 

Inappropriate, False, or Misleading Content.

 

This should be common sense, but there are certain types of content we don’t want posted on Raymart’s Services (for legal reasons or otherwise). You agree that you will not post any content that is abusive, threatening, defamatory, obscene, vulgar, or otherwise offensive or in violation of any part of our Terms.
