Licences and permissions

Eyemark recognises that some of the content you post or share on its Platform may be protected by Intellectual Property laws. By posting or sharing on Eyemark, you do not assign the IP rights to us i.e., you are able to reshare, withdraw or use your work or content anywhere else. However, we need some form of licence and permissions to be able to keep the Community growing and to provide our services:

You agree that whenever you post or share content (such as a photo, video, text, etc.), you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free and worldwide licence to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate and create derivative works of your content.
You agree that we can use your name, profile picture and information about your actions with ads and sponsored content: You give us permission to use your name and profile picture and information about actions that you have taken on Eyemark next to or in connection with ads, offers and other sponsored content that we display across our Services, without any compensation to you.

You grant the permissions to other users of the Platform to use, copy, reproduce, adapt, modify, create derivative works from, publish, transmit, display, and distribute, translate, communicate and make available to the public the content, subject to our Terms of Service. Except as expressly provided in these Terms of Use, the granted permissions will not confer the right for you to use automated technology to copy or post questions and answers or to aggregate questions and answers for the purpose of making derivative works.
You agree that Eyemark may preserve content which you post, share or upload and in certain circumstances, may also disclose the content and related information if required to do so by law or to enforce these Terms of Service or for Eyemark to respond to claims that any of your content has violated the rights of third parties or to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues or to defend the interests of Eyemark.

Other important terms

We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation.

You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else (except that you can always transfer our guarantee). You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.

If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

No waiver. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide requested services, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

Limits on liability
To the extent permitted by law, we also disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. We do not control or direct what people and others do or say, and we are not responsible for their actions or conduct (whether online or offline) or any content that they share (including offensive, inappropriate, obscene, unlawful and other objectionable content).
We cannot predict when issues may arise with our Services. Accordingly, our liability shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and under no circumstances will we be liable to you for any lost profits, revenues, information or data, or consequential, special, indirect, exemplary, punitive or incidental damages arising out of or related to these Terms or the Facebook Products, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Lagos State in particular and either party can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Services in the courts in Nigeria.
