You understand that all information and materials available through the Services, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, are the sole responsibility of the person from which such information and materials originated.

Material you send to us or post (or that you have sent or posted prior to the effective date of this Agreement) anywhere on the Site, including without limitation, "fan fiction" text, artwork, graphics, photos, music or software may be used by CTP or its affiliates throughout the world in perpetuity for any purpose, including, but not limited to, reproduction, disclosure, transmission, publication, broadcast, posting and sublicensing, and may be modified to enable any such use.
Furthermore, you acknowledge that CTP is free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in any communication that you send to or post on the Site (including any such communication sent or posted prior to the effective date of this Agreement) for any purpose whatsoever including, but not limited to, developing, manufacturing and marketing products using such information. As a general rule, we ask that you do not post, send or bring to our attention any other creative materials of any kind, such as stories or character ideas, screenplays, songs, or original artwork, unless you agree to our use thereof as described above. We hope you will understand that it is the intent of this policy to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings when projects developed independently by our professional staff or by CTP affiliates might seem to others to be similar to their own creative work.
If, despite our request that you not send us any creative materials, you send or have sent us creative suggestions, ideas, notes, drawings, concepts or other information (collectively, the "Information"), the Information shall be deemed, and shall remain, our property, and CTP shall own all now known and hereafter existing rights of every kind in and to the Information, in perpetuity. None of the Information shall be subject to any obligation, whether of confidentiality, attribution, or otherwise, on our part and we shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Information. Applicable law may restrict or limit the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. If so, without limitation of the foregoing, you agree that in no event shall CTP's liability exceed the amount payable to a writer under the Writers Guild of America Basic Agreement (as of the date of the submission) for a first-time writer of such materials. Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event that CTP is legally prohibited from assuming ownership of the Information, by sending us Information you grant us (and our partners and affiliates) a worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), assignable, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable right to use, reproduce, distribute (through multiple tiers), create derivative works of, publicly perform, publicly display, digitally perform, make, have made, sell, offer for sale and import such Information in any media now known or hereafter developed, for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to you or any provider of the Information.
(3) OWNERSHIP AND RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF MATERIALS. © 2004-2025 by CTP All Rights Reserved. The Site is owned and operated by us in conjunction with our affiliates, licensors, licensees, partners, and others pursuant to contractual arrangements. You may not copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit or distribute materials from the Site in any way, without our prior written permission, except you may download one copy of such material on any single computer for your personal, non-commercial home use only, provided you keep intact, without change, all copyright and other proprietary notices. Modification of the materials or use of the materials for any other purpose is a violation of our copyright and other proprietary rights, and is strictly prohibited. You acknowledge that you do not acquire any ownership rights by using the Site.
If you download software or data files from the Site, such software and files (including without limitation any audio files, video files, data files, and any files transmitted to you as part of the CTP Site or similar services, images incorporated in or generated by the software, and data accompanying the software) (collectively, the "Downloads") are licensed on a limited basis to you by us or the owner of such Downloads. Title to the Downloads is not transferred to you. You may own the medium on which the Downloads are recorded, but we retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Downloads, and all intellectual property rights therein. You may not resell, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise reduce the Downloads to a human-perceivable form, or transfer the Downloads to any third party.
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials we host infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a notification requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. To be effective, the notification must include the following:
1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material.
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and if available, an electronic mail address at which you may be contacted.
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
