You are agreeing to cooperate in any such inquiry and that we have full discretion to determine whether to investigate, the means of investigation, and the actions to be taken during or following such investigation.
You, or your licensors, retain full copyright of any User Content that you send us. By transmitting or posting any User Content to the Service, you hereby grant us a worldwide, irrevocable, fully transferable right to use, reproduce, distribute, modify, transmit, prepare derivative works of, display, perform, produce, aggregate, and otherwise use the User Content in connection with the Service for the Conferences (and if enabled any recording and playback of a prerecorded Conference) as well as in marketing, advertising, training, and educational material relating to the Service, including online or other digital media as well as in print.

Loss of Content; Security; Unauthorized Viewing
Gleim utilizes industry standard reliability and security measures in an attempt to protect and preserve your data (including recorded Conferences); however, you acknowledge and agree it is impossible to guarantee complete security, transmission or storage of such content. Additionally, if our servers or the servers of third-party providers fail or become corrupt, we may lose and be unable to retrieve prerecorded Conferences or other data you have submitted via the Service. Additionally, if your account is closed for any reason, your content within the Service will be lost and/or inaccessible. Therefore, we urge you to maintain copies of all content submitted by you that you may wish to access or view later.
Although we attempt to secure the access to and viewing of Conferences by only authorized participants on the terms set by the applicable subscriber, it is possible that Conferences and portions thereof may be accessed, recorded, viewed, copied, distributed, and otherwise used by unauthorized third parties whether due to insecurity or errors in wireless or wired networks, servers, or other software or hardware, or unauthorized use of other persons’ account information. You understand and agree that we are not liable for such unauthorized accessing, recording, viewing, copy, distribution, or other use.
Privacy
Any personally identifying information submitted through the Service is subject to our Privacy Policy, the terms of which are incorporated herein. Please review our Privacy Policy to understand our practices. The date of any changes to our Privacy Policy will be noted at the bottom of the policy. We may use your personal information as described in the Privacy Policy. Additionally, we may send you notifications about new Service features, special offers, promotional announcements and customer surveys via email, notifications within the Service, text messages, or other methods. By using the Service, you consent to receiving electronic communications from us regarding the Service, including support and maintenance notifications.
Without limiting the provisions in our Privacy Policy, you understand that your username and any User Content will be publicly available and viewable by all participants in the Conference. You further acknowledge and agree that the Service includes a feature that allows for the Conference to be recorded. By joining a Conference you automatically consent to such recordings. If you do not consent to the recording, you should notify the other participants in the Conference and disable the recording feature – however, you understand that any participant in the Conference may enable such recording feature at any time during the Conference with or without prior notice to or permission from you. You should not join or participate in any Conference if you do not agree to recording and we shall not be liable to you for any recording of the Conference as described herein or in our documentation.

General
These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida without regard to principles of conflicts of laws and shall inure to the benefit of Gleim, its successors, and assigns (including without limitation, its licensors as third-party beneficiaries hereunder).
