OEA Flickr™ Groups Terms of Use

Date of Last Revision: June 4, 2008.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS. THESE INCLUDE VARIOUS LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS.

Welcome to OEA Groups on Flickr.com. Flickr™ (“Flickr” or the “Service”) is an online photo management and sharing application that allows you to share your content with other people and organize your photos and videos in a number of ways. OEA provides Flickr groups as a service to members subject to the following Terms of Use ("Terms of Use" or “Agreement), which may be updated by us from time to time without notice to you. You can review the most current version of the Agreement at any time at: www.ohea.org/oea_flickr_terms_of_service. In addition, when using particular OEA owned or operated services, such as OEA groups in Flickr, you and OEA shall be subject to Flickr’s Terms of Service, which are available online at http://www.flickr.com/terms.gne, and they may also be updated from time to time without notice.

By accessing or using OEA Groups (the "Site") or by posting a photo on the Site, you (the "User") signify that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. OEA reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or delete portions of these Terms of Use at any time without further notice. If we do this, we will post the changes to these Terms of Use on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the date these terms were last revised. Your continued use of the Service or the Site after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Use. If you do not agree to abide by these or any future Terms of Use, do not use or access (or continue to use or access) the Service or the Site. It is your responsibility to regularly check the Site to determine if there have been changes to these Terms of Use and to review such changes.

1. REGISTRATION DATA AND ACCOUNT SECURITY
In consideration of your use of the Site, you agree to (a) provide accurate, current and complete information about you as may be prompted by any registration forms on the Site ("Registration Data"); (b) maintain the security of your password and identification; (c) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data, and any other information you provide to Flickr, to keep it accurate, current and complete; and (d) be fully responsible for all use of your account and for any actions that take place using your account. You will receive a password and account designation upon completing the Flickr.com registration process. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify Flickr of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. OEA cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above.

2. OEA PRIVACY POLICY
Registration Data and certain other information about you are subject to our Privacy Policy. For more information, see our full privacy policy at www.ohea.org/privacy. You understand that through your use of the Service you consent to the collection and use (as set forth in the Privacy Policy) of this information, including the transfer of this information for storage, and use by OEA and its affiliates.

3. ELIGIBILITY
OEA Groups are intended solely for active OEA members who are eighteen (18) years of age or older. Any registration by, use of or access to the Site by anyone who not an active OEA member and under 18 is unauthorized, unlicensed and in violation of these Terms of Use. By using the Site, you represent and warrant that you are an active OEA member and that you are 18 or older, and that you agree to and to abide by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

4. ACCEPTABLE CONTENT
Please be aware that OEA Terms of Use forbid any images that contain adult or mature content. Also forbidden are photos that include any other persons without the written consent of each party included in the photo. In particular, you are responsible for obtaining and proving that you have the written permission from parents for each and every child included in your photo.

5. INDEMNITY
You agree to indemnify and hold OEA and its affiliates, officers, agents, employees, partners and contractors harmless from and against any loss, liability, claim, demand, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or in connection with any User Content, any Third Party Applications, Software or Content you post or share on or through the Site, your use of the Service or the Site, your conduct in connection to the Service or the Site or with other users of the Service or the Site, or any violation of this Agreement or of any law or the rights of any third party.
FLICKR AND OEA DO NOT PRE-SCREEN OR APPROVE THE CONTENT ON FLICKR PAGES OR OEA GROUPS, AND CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT A FLICKR PAGE WAS ACTUALLY CREATED AND IS BEING OPERATED BY THE INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF A FLICKR PAGE. NOR IS FLICKR OR OEA RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENT ON ANY FLICKR PAGE OR ON OEA GROUPS, OR ANY TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO OR OTHER ACTIONS TAKEN ON OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PAGE, INCLUDING HOW THE OWNER OF THE FLICKR PAGE COLLECTS, HANDLES, USES AND / OR SHARES ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION IT MAY COLLECT FROM USERS (PLEASE REVIEW THE FLICKR PRIVACY POLICY IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS REGARDING THE USE OR SHARING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION).

5. USER CONDUCT
You understand that all information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, tags, or other materials ("Content"), whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, are the sole responsibility of the person from whom such Content originated.

You represent, warrant and agree that no materials of any kind submitted through your account or otherwise posted, transmitted, or shared by you on or through the Service will violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity or other personal or proprietary rights; or contain libelous, defamatory or otherwise unlawful material.
