Submitting Your Online Material to Us
All remarks, suggestions, ideas, graphics, testimonials, demonstrations, comments, photographs, articles or other content or information that you send to SOMSCLA through our site, by email or otherwise (other than information we promise to protect under our Privacy Policy) becomes and remains our property, even if this agreement is later terminated and we reserve the right to edit, modify, use or not use all or any portion of any such submissions.
That means that we don’t have to treat any such submission as confidential. You can’t sue us for using ideas you submit. If we use them, or anything like them, we don’t have to pay you or anyone else for them.
We will have the exclusive ownership of all present and future rights to submissions of any kind. We can use them for any purpose we deem appropriate to our SOMSCLA mission, without compensating you or anyone else for them.
You acknowledge that you are responsible for any submission you make. This means that you (and not we) have full responsibility for the message, including its legality, reliability, appropriateness, originality, and copyright.
If you submit anything to us or otherwise contact us, through our site, by email or otherwise, we will retain your email address, and we may use it to send you information, Faith Lifts, newsletters or requests for information, or for any other reasonable purpose that does not violate our Privacy Policy, unless you notify us at the time you contact us that you do not wish to receive further information from us via email. If at any time you decide that you do not want us to contact you via email, you may notify us and opt out of receiving emails by emailing us at office@somspiritualcenterla.org (please put REMOVE FROM EMAIL LIST in the subject line). Even though you opt out of receiving information from us via email, you still agree that we may continue to contact you via email in connection with (1) any listing, article, link, picture or other content that you have submitted to our site, or (2) any content on our site that is about you or written by you, or (3) any picture of you on our site, or (4) any class you may be taking with us, or (5) any work (including, as a volunteer) or service you may be doing, will do or have done for SOMSCLA. Please note that we use a bulk email service provider (currently it is Constant Contact) to send bulk emails. If you opt out of receiving emails through our bulk email service provider, we will not send you bulk emails through a bulk email service provider; however, we may still contact you via email unless you email us at office@somspiritualcenterla.org, as provided in this paragraph.
