PCA encourages its supporters to submit videos via PCA in order to engage in its core activities of education and political advocacy (“Entries”). This Video Submission Policy supplements and incorporates PCA’s Privacy Policy, found here. Once submitted, PCA reserves the right to use and promote the Entries in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you understand and agree that by submitting your Entry to PCA, you automatically grant (and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant) to PCA a royalty-free, worldwide, fully paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive right and license to (i) use, reproduce, distribute, modify, adapt, and publicly display your Entry, and (ii) use and reproduce (and to authorize third parties to use and reproduce) any of your Entry in any or all media throughout the world for any and all commercial, trade, advertising or other purposes determined by PCA. Other users may be able to share your video from the “Watch All Videos” page and such other users may follow you on your social media. All copyright and other rights in and to the computer programs, computer applications, Web applications, database programs, Web content files, and all written, graphic, audio, and audiovisual works incorporated into and utilized on PCA’s website shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of PCA (“PCA Intellectual Property”). You may not copy, modify, publish, transmit, distribute, perform, display, or sell any such PCA Intellectual Property. PCA will have the right to reject any Entry that it deems, in its sole discretion, inappropriate and/or in violation of the terms or spirit of this Policy, or for any reason whatsoever. Participants will not be notified of any rejection.
