You are solely responsible for any User Content you post to the Metronome Services, and the consequences of posting or publishing it. By "User Content", we mean any Content you post to the Metronome Services. "Content" means information, data, text, software, music, sound, photos, graphics, videos, messages, tags, interactive features, or any other materials. When we say "post", we include posting, uploading, sharing, submitting or otherwise providing User Content in any manner in connection with the Metronome Services.
Unless expressly stated otherwise herein, any User Content submitted by you through the Metronome Services shall be deemed non-confidential and non-proprietary. You represent that you have the lawful right to submit such information and agree that you will not submit any information unless you are legally entitled to do so. Because of the open nature of the Internet, we recommend that you not submit information you consider confidential.
Metronome does not accept unauthorized idea submissions outside of established business relationships. To protect the interests of our current clients and ourselves, we must treat the issue of such submissions with great care. Importantly, without a clear business relationship, Metronome cannot and does not treat any such submissions in confidence. Accordingly, please do not communicate unauthorized idea submissions to Metronome through the Metronome Services. Any ideas disclosed to Metronome outside a pre-existing and documented confidential business relationship are not confidential and Metronome may therefore develop, use and freely disclose or publish similar ideas without compensating you or accounting to you. Metronome will make every reasonable effort to return or destroy any unauthorized idea submissions without detailed review of them. However, if a review is necessary in Metronome’s sole discretion, it will be with the understanding that Metronome assumes no obligation to protect the confidentiality of your idea or compensate you for its disclosure or use. By submitting an idea or other detailed submission to Metronome, you agree to be bound by the terms of this stated policy.
We have the sole right, but not necessarily the obligation, to delete at any time any User Content that violates these rules or that we believe to be inappropriate for any reason.
We generally do not review any of the User Content posted by our users. We do not endorse any User Content or support any views, opinions, recommendations, or advice that may be in user submissions. User Content comes from a variety of sources, and we make no promises about the reliability of any source or the accuracy, usefulness, safety, or intellectual property rights of any user submission. You agree not to hold us responsible in any way for your use of the Metronome Services, including your exposure to User Content.
