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.
- 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.
- 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.

Feedback
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.

Derive Revenue/Advertisements

CET and/or third party paid advertisements and/or other information adjacent to

Content, and you agree that you are not entitled to any compensation for any
such advertisements. The manner, mode and extent of advertising or other
revenue generating models pursued by CET on or in conjunction with the Services
and/or Your Content are subject to change without specific notice to you.
11. Links to
Third Party Sites.
The Services and Materials may include links that will take you to other sites
outside of the Services (“Linked Sites”). The Linked Sites are
provided by CET to you as a convenience and the inclusion of the links does not
imply any endorsement by CET of any Linked Site. CET has no control of the
Linked Sites and you agree that CET is not responsible for the availability or
contents of any Linked Site (including any advertising, products or other
materials on or available from such Linked Site), any link contained in a
Linked Site, or any changes or updates to a Linked Site.

Notification of Copyright Infringement
- CET respects the Intellectual Property Rights of others
and expects its users to do the same. CET will respond to clear notices of
copyright infringement consistent with the Australian Copyright Act 1968
and its response to such notices may include removing or disabling access
to the allegedly infringing content, terminating the accounts of repeat
infringers, and/or making good-faith attempts to contact the user who
posted the content at issue so that he may, where appropriate, make a
counter-notification.
- 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

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.
- 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;

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.
