You further grant Joshin a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use with the Joshin User Submissions your name, images, and likeness to promote Joshin.
You acknowledge and represent that any Joshin User Submission you share with us shall be your original work and that the content within the Joshin User Submission does not infringe, misappropriate, or violate a third party’s intellectual property rights or rights of publicity or privacy.
You further represent that you have the right to grant all of the licenses set forth under this USMA, without Joshin incurring any third-party obligations or liability arising out of its exercise of the rights granted by you under this USMA.
Intellectual Property
Joshin shall be the exclusive owner of all rights, including copyright, in the Joshin User Submissions you submit to Joshin, which you jointly or independently create for or on behalf of Joshin. You hereby irrevocably transfer, assign, and otherwise convey to Joshin your entire right, title, and interest, if any, in and to the Joshin User Submissions, which you jointly or independently create for or on behalf of Joshin and all copyrights and other intellectual property rights in these Joshin User Submissions. Joshin has no obligation to create or use the Joshin User Submissions or to exercise any rights given by this USMA.

You hereby release Joshin from all damages, liability, claims, actions, demands and costs of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with these terms. This includes any claims of defamation, invasion of privacy, infringement of moral rights, rights of publicity, and infringement of Intellectual Property (e.g. trademarks, copyrights).
If you are a California resident, you expressly waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
Payments
You acknowledge and agree that any Joshin User Submissions do not entitle you to any monetary compensation unless expressly authorized by Joshin in writing.
