What does this all mean?
By way of example only, let’s say you GIVE a SLM by sharing a photograph with us. (Thank you by the way!) That photograph is your User Content. When you share this photograph, you represent that it is either your photograph that you took or that you have the right to: (1) share it with us and (2) give us the permission to use it however we want. We may now use that photograph without limitation and without having to pay you anything.
Some ways that we may use that photograph include:
- Publishing or posting it in the Finding Silver Lining Moments around the World section of this Site;
- Using it on social media posts by itself or along with other photographs or creative works;
- Using your photograph by itself or with other photographs in a Journal or other book that we sell;
- Using your photograph by itself or with other photographs in a video to be published on our YouTube channel, Facebook, and/or Instagram.
We may come up with additional ways to use your photograph in the future. Or, we may decide to not use your photograph in anyway. If, or how we use your photograph is completely up to us. We do not have to pay you for your photograph. Even if we make money from using your photograph, such as by including it in a Journal that we successfully sell, we do not have to pay you anything.
Reading this may sound unfair and one-sided. We ask that you understand the time, effort, and costs that we put into our services, our posts, our Journals, and any products or services that we may develop. We also hope that SLM grows where millions of people Give a SLM to us. Paying each person would make it impracticable and ultimately impossible to use any User Content. By giving us your User Content, you give us permission to use it without limitation and without any payment to you. We hope that by knowing your User Content may be used in ways that are aligned with adding some good, positive energy, light, and love to the world brings value to you.
