Should you make any changes to any of the Materials you will be violating the copyrights of the owner(s) of the affected portion of BRAINSNAP.COM. Aside from this provision (i.e. the downloading of a single copy) you may not copy, upload, transmit or distribute in any way any Materials contained in the Site, nor may you use them on any network of computers or any other Website. Should you download a single copy of any Materials, you do not own that copy. The copy you download (including the software and its accompanying data and any files) is, rather, licensed to you by BRAINSNAP.COM on behalf of its owner/creator, which retains all title and rights to the Materials.

This limitation includes any circumstance in which BRAINSNAP.COM or its representative has been advised of potential liability. Certain applicable laws may not allow all the limitations of liability described herein.

Should you communicate on the Site, by doing so you grant to BRAINSNAP.COM in perpetuity, exclusively, without any compensation or notice to you, all rights which you have in that communication. Thus you grant BRAINSNAP.COM the perpetual, exclusive right to duplicate, replicate, copy, disseminate, modify, edit, create other works from, publish, distribute, include in other works, translate, and/or edit any communication by any means, whether now known or yet to be discovered, at any place and any time throughout the universe. You may not use the Site for any commercial purpose or to solicit funds or any other goods, or services for anything whatsoever. BRAINSNAP.COM herein may be exercised in any language, in any medium whether now known or yet to be developed anywhere in the universe. Further, you waive all moral rights to these communications as well as rights of confidentiality. You also warrant that, should you not own the rights to these communications, the owner of the rights has granted them in exactly the same manner and to the same extent that you would have had you been the owner.

Note
Brainsnap advises that having Section 107 of United States Copyright Law explained to you by a lawyer is a very expensive and mind-numbing process. To save you a small fortune, we will summarise: Brainsnap is entitled to satirize whomever we please, whomever we like or don't like, regardless of your opinion. It's all part of the free speech thing that the neocons are trying to dismantle. To the neocons out there, the staff of Brainsnap would like to extend one upwardly turned finger - all the best from us, guys!
