6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND DATA
Customer Data
6.1 Whilst you are responsible for your account and any data you upload through it (the Customer Data), this shall be subject to any access or control rights that apply between you and the Commercial Licensee who has paid for your licence to access our Services. As a default the Commercial Licensee shall have ultimate ownership and control over all Customer Data, and all Customer Data will be accessible by all the Commercial Licensee’s other authorised users of the Services.

We will determine, at our reasonable discretion, whether any Customer Data breaches the Standards. You and the Commercial Licensee are each responsible for the content of, and for any harm resulting from, any Customer Data that you post, upload, link to or otherwise make available via the Services, regardless of the form of that Customer Data.
Our Intellectual Property Notices
6.4 You acknowledge that all intellectual property rights in the Services, the Documents and the Technology anywhere in the world, and in the data you access through or on them (other than the Customer Data) (such data being Our Data), belong to us or our licensors, that access to the Services is licensed (not sold) to you and the Commercial Licensee, and that neither you nor they have any rights in, or to, the Services, the Documents or the Technology other than the right to use each of them in accordance with the terms of this EULA and the Commercial Licence. We reserve all such rights accordingly.
6.5 The Services are copyright © Canary7 Ltd. The Canary7® name and brand, and associated logos, are the unregistered trademarks of Canary7 Ltd.
6.6 You may not duplicate, copy, or reuse any portion of the Services or our trademarks, without our express permission, save as set out in the “Linking to Our Websites” section below.
6.7 Nor must you access the Services where you are engaged as an employee or contractor with any business that competes with our own or to attempt to gain access to our confidential information with a view to building, creating or amending any software or service which competes with any element of the Service offered by us.
6.8 You acknowledge that you have no right to have access to the software underlying the Services in source-code form.
LICENCE GRANTS
Using the Services means you are granted specific licences or rights by both other users and us, and that is required; in turn, you grant specific licences or rights to other users and us. Each of these licences is described below:
Your Licence to Link to Our Websites
6.9 You may link to our websites (including where you do not have an account with us), provided you do so fairly and legally and in a way that does not damage our reputation or take advantage of it. You must not establish a link in such a way as to suggest any form of association, approval or endorsement on our part where none exists. You must not establish a link to our websites on any website that you do not own unless you have relevant authorisations. We reserve the right to withdraw linking permission without notice. The website in which you are linking must comply in all respects with the content standards set out in this EULA. Our websites must not be framed on any other site.
6.10 We may withdraw this EULA at any time on notice. If you have an account with us and wish to link to or make any use of Our Data other than that set out above, please contact us.
The Licence You Grant to Us
6.11 By opening an account with us, you grant and assign us, and our successors and assigns a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence and right to store and utilise Customer Data (in the manner in which you, other authorised users or the Commercial Licensee have made it available) and make copies strictly as necessary to provide the Services as contemplated under the Commercial Licence and this EULA. For example, this includes a right to do things like copy it to our database and make backups, share it with you and other authorised users under the Commercial Licence (unless access is restricted by the Commercial Licensee’s super-users or account administrators) and to analyse it where necessary to provide the Services only (in the circumstances noted below).
You also agree to grant us a lien over such Customer Data to cover the event of non-payment by the Commercial Licensee of any charges validly due and owing under the Commercial Licence (in the circumstances more specifically set out in the Commercial Licence) and agree that we may restrict your or the Commercial Licensee’s access to, and use of, such Customer Data (and ultimately delete same) in exercise of our rights under this lien if such non-payment is not remedied to our satisfaction in the circumstances provided for under the Commercial Licence.
6.12 As noted above and in our Privacy Policy, we do not sell any Customer Data or otherwise distribute or use it outside the context of providing the Service and our Site as noted above.
6.13 This licence will end or be revoked within a certain period after your account is cancelled, or you have deleted all copies of the relevant Customer Data uploaded to our Site. Our Customer Data retention policies are outlined in our Privacy Policy.
The Rights You Grant to Third Parties
6.14 Any Customer Data you post may be viewed by the Commercial Licensee and other authorised users approved by the Commercial Licensee by default, subject to any access restrictions or parameters set within the Services by the Commercial Licensee’s super-users or account administrators. By using the Services, you agree to allow the Commercial Licensee and (where applicable) its other authorised users to view, copy and download the Customer Data, unless alternative arrangements are agreed between you and the Commercial Licensee.
6.15 In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this EULA and the terms you have agreed in writing with the Commercial Licensee or other users as regards the Customer Data, the latter shall prevail over the former.
Moral Right
6.16 Unless you otherwise waive them, you retain all moral rights to Customer Data that you upload, publish, or submit to any part of the Services, including the rights of integrity and attribution. However, you waive these rights and agree not to assert them against us, to enable us to reasonably exercise the rights granted to us by you above, but not otherwise.
Feedback
6.17 We’re always trying to improve our Services, and your feedback will help us do that.
6.18 If you give us any ideas, know-how, algorithms, code contributions, suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations or any other feedback for our products or services (Feedback), you acknowledge and agree by accepting this EULA that we will have a royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide, transferable, sub-licensable, irrevocable and perpetual licence to implement, use, modify, commercially exploit or incorporate the Feedback into our products, services, and documentation.
Intellectual Property Infringement
6.19 If you believe that content you have accessed through the Services infringes your intellectual property rights, please contact us. There may be legal consequences for sending a false or frivolous notice, and we will close your account if you repeatedly send wrongful intellectual property infringement notices.
