You agree that you will not copy, reproduce, alter, modify, create derivative works, or publicly display any content (except for content you provide to us) from the application without the prior expressed written permission of the Company or the appropriate third party.
III. Content
3.1 License The Company grants you a limited license to access and make personal use of the application and not to download (other than page caching) or modify it, or any portion of it, except with the express written consent of the Company. This license does not include any resale or commercial use of the application or its contents; any collection or use of any product listings, descriptions, or prices; any derivative use of this site or its contents; any downloading or copying of account information; or any use of data mining, robots, or similar data gathering and extraction tools. Any unauthorized use terminates the permission or license granted by the Company. You are granted a limited, revocable, and nonexclusive right to create a hyperlink to the home page of the Company www.Caddy so long as the link does not portray the Company, or its products or services, in a false, misleading, derogatory, or otherwise offensive manner.
The Company does not claim ownership of any information, data, text, communications, software or graphics, music, sound, photographs, video, messages or other materials (each, “Content”) you submit or make available for inclusion on the application. However, with respect to submitted Content you may post on the application, you grant the Company a world-wide, royalty free and non-exclusive license(s) to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform and publicly display such Content on the application solely for the purposes of providing the application services.

You expressly warrant you have the right to grant this license in any Content you upload, store or transmit to or through the application. If you do not have the right to grant such license, you should not be uploading, storing or transmitting such material, and doing so will be a breach of the TOU.

Although we are honored you would think of us, the Company relies on its employees to supply its new product and other creative ideas. The Company has found it necessary to adopt this policy because some companies in our industry have had claims made against them by people who allege that the company used an idea, even though the company had received only the most general of concepts. Since the employees of the Company are constantly working on a number of ideas in many areas, some of which might be similar to an idea you seek to send to the Company, we cannot accept any outside submissions or the risks associated with these submissions.

Because the Company has no control over such sites and resources, you acknowledge and agree that the Company is not responsible for the availability of such external sites or resources, and does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any Content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such sites or resources. You further acknowledge and agree that the Company shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such Content, goods or services available on or through any such site or resource.
