8.             Use of Your Content
A note in common terms: We realise that this section might look a bit scary and so we want to point out a few things. This section only applies to those portions of our sites, such as User Forums, where we intend for users to share content freely with the CET and with each other. It does not apply to all of the content that you share, contribute or post to our sites. (We say this more formally below). So we encourage you to be selective when deciding which content to contribute under this license and we want you to be sure that you are comfortable granting the rights in this section when it comes to that content.

  1. The CET does not claim ownership of Your Content. However, except as provided in Section 8(b), you grant the CET a worldwide (because the Internet is global), royalty-free, nonexclusive, transferable, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and publicly display Your Content (in whole or in part) and to incorporate Your Content into other Materials or works in any format or medium now known or later developed.
  2. The terms of Section 8(a) shall not apply to Your Content:
    i. When specifically agreed that Section 8(a) shall not apply in any Additional Terms that may accompany certain Services; or
    ii. When Your Content is Made Available through Services that are intended for private communication or which allow you to limit public access or use to Your Content and you do in fact limit public access or use.
    In the case of Your Content covered by Section 8(b)(i), you grant the CET only those rights set forth in such Additional Terms.
    In the case of Your Content covered by Section 8(b)(ii), you grant the CET a worldwide (because the Internet is global), royalty-free, nonexclusive, transferable, and fully sublicensable license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, publish and translate Your Content solely for the purpose of enabling your use of the Service. You may revoke this license and terminate the CET’s rights at any time by removing Your Content from the Service; provided that you agree that the CET may retain and use copies of Your Content for archival purposes and pursuant to Section 7 (Investigations), above.

You have no obligation to provide the CET with ideas, suggestions, documentations and/or proposals (“Feedback”). However, if you submit Feedback to CET, while you retain ownership in such Feedback, you hereby grant the CET a nonexclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, unlimited license under all of your Intellectual Property Rights to use and otherwise exploit your Feedback for any purpose throughout the universe. Further, by submitting Feedback, you represent and warrant that (i) your Feedback does not contain the confidential or proprietary information of you or third parties; (ii) CET is not under any obligation of confidentiality, express or implied, with respect to the Feedback; (iii) CET may have something similar to the Feedback already under consideration or in development; and (iv) you are not entitled to any compensation or reimbursement of any kind from CET for the Feedback under any circumstances.

10.          Right to Derive Revenue/Advertisements

  2. If you believe that your work has been used or copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and such infringement is hosted on the Services, on web sites linked to or from the Services, or in connection with the Services or Materials, please provide, pursuant to the Act, written notification via regular mail or via fax (not via e-mail or phone) of claimed copyright infringement to CET’s Copyright Agent (contact information below), which must contain all of the following elements:
    i. A physical or electronic signature of the person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest that is alleged to have been infringed;
    ii. A description of the copyrighted work(s) that you claim have been infringed and identification of what content in such work(s) is claimed to be infringing and which you request to be removed or access to which is to be disabled;
    iii. A description of where the content that you claim is infringing is located on the Services;
    iv. Information sufficient to permit CET to contact you, such as your physical address, telephone number and e-mail address;
    v. A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the use of the content identified in your notice in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
    vi. A statement by you that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.
    Before you file such a notification, please carefully consider whether or not the use of copyrighted material at issue is protected by the “fair use” doctrine, as you could be liable for costs and attorneys’ fees should you file a takedown notice where there is no infringing use. If you are unsure whether a use of your copyrighted material constitutes infringement, please contact an attorney. In addition, you may wish to consult publicly available reference materials such as those found at www.ag.gov.au.
  3. If you believe access to your content was disabled or removed by CET as a result of an improper copyright infringement notice, please provide, pursuant to the Act, written notification via regular mail or via fax (not via e-mail or phone) to CET’s Copyright Agent (contact information below), which must contain all of the following elements:
    i. A physical or electronic signature of the subscriber;
    ii. Identification of the material that was removed from the Services and the location of the Service on which the material appeared before it was removed;
    iii. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disable as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;
    iv. Information sufficient to permit CET to contact you, such as your physical address, telephone number and e-mail address; and
    v. A statement that you consent to jurisdiction of the Federal District court for the district where you reside (or Perth Western Australia if you reside outside of the Australia) and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under The Act or an agent of such person.
    Before you file such a counter-notification, please carefully consider whether or not the use of the copyright material at issue is infringing, as you could be liable for costs and attorneys’ fees in the event that a court determines your counter-notification misrepresented that the material was removed by mistake. If you are unsure whether use of the material at issue constitutes infringement, please contact an attorney. In addition, you may wish to consult publicly available reference materials such as those found at www.ag.gov.au.
