This agreement was written in English (US). Statement of Rights and Responsibilities
This Statement of Rights and Responsibilities (“Statement”) derives from the Ford PAS NGL principles, and governs our relationship with users and others who interact with Ford PAS. By using or accessing Fordpas.org, you agree to this Statement.
1. Privacy Your privacy is very important to us.
We designed our Privacy Policy to make important disclosures about how you can use Ford PAS to share with others and how we collect and can use your content and information. We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy, and to use it to help make informed decisions.
2. Sharing Your Content and Information
For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (“IP content”), you specifically give us the following permission,: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Ford PAS NGL (“IP License”). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it. When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others). When you publish content or information it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Fordpas.org, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture). We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about Fordpas.org, but you understand that we may use them without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).
3. Safety We do our best to keep Fordpas.org safe, but we cannot guarantee it. We need your help to do that, which includes the following commitments:You will not send or otherwise post unauthorized commercial communications (such as spam) on Fordpas.org. You will not collect users’ content or information, or otherwise access Fordpas.org, using automated means (such as harvesting bots, robots, spiders, or scrapers) without our permission.
