Uploading Content
If you have a FloSports PRO account, you may be able to upload Content to the Content Service. You may use your Content to promote your business or artistic enterprise. If you choose to upload Content, you must not submit to the Content Service any Content that does not comply with this Agreement or the law.

Rights you Grant
You retain ownership rights in your Content. However, by providing Content to the Content Service, you grant to FloSports a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable license to use that Content (including to reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works, display and perform it) in connection with the Service, Content Service, and FloSports’ (and its successors’ and Affiliates’) business, including for the purpose of promoting and redistributing part or all of the Service and Content Service.
