Hi Zak, the terms you've posted are actually from Google's general terms of
service. Part of the Open Gallery terms relating to content are actually
copied below (and for a technical reason relating to us being in whitelist
mode these terms are only viewable when you have been whitelisted. Sorry
for now...:-)
Your Content in our Platform
Our Platform allows you to submit content. You retain ownership of any
intellectual property rights that you hold in that content. In short, what
belongs to you stays yours.
Our Platform will give you the option to make your content discoverable
either (a) narrowly, through Google Open Gallery only; or (b) broadly,
through both Google Open Gallery and other Google products and services
(collectively, the “Discoverability Options”).
When you upload or otherwise submit content to our Platform, you give
Google (and those we work with) a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide
license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works
(such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we
make so that your content works better with our Platform), communicate,
publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content
according to the Discoverability Options you select through the Platform.
The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of
operating and promoting the Platform, and improving the discoverability of
your content according to the Discoverability Options you select through
the Platform.
You can access and remove your content from the Platform at any time, and
we will stop using the content that you provided through the Platform as
soon as our systems are able to delete the content from our licensed
content databases. Also, there are terms or settings that narrow the scope
of our use of the content submitted through the Platform.
Make sure you have the necessary rights to grant us this license for any
content that you submit to our Platform.
You are solely responsible for the selection and organization of your
content on the Platform. Your use of the Platform is subject to the Google
Open Gallery Content Policy. We may suspend or stop providing the Platform
to you if you do not comply with our terms or policies.
Because we believe you should decide whether and how to directly monetize
your content, you can choose to monetize your content through the Platform;
Google will not charge fees for, display advertisements alongside, or
otherwise monetize your content through the Platform. If you select a
Discoverability Option that allows your content to be broadly discoverable
through other Google products and services, the advertising and
monetization policies of those other Google products and services will
apply.
If you have a Google Account, we may display your Profile name, Profile
photo, and actions you take on Google or on third-party applications
connected to your Google Account (such as +1s, reviews you write and
comments you post) in our Platform, including displaying in ads and other
commercial contexts. We will respect the choices you make to limit sharing
or visibility settings in your Google Account. For example, you can choose
your settings so your name and photo do not appear in an ad.
You can find more information about how Google uses and stores content in
the privacy policy or additional terms for particular Platform. If you
submit feedback or suggestions about our Platform, we may use your feedback
or suggestions without obligation to you.
