Information

The Site provides information about Starlight itself, including, among other things, its history, introduction to the Starlight management team, description of Starlight’s business as a charity, and how to become a Starlight donor, a corporate sponsor, or how to attend a Starlight event.

The Site also hosts an e-commerce platform that allows health care professionals affiliated with participating pediatric health care facilities to generate lists of specific requests for Starlight programs, as well as deliveries of toys and other products that benefit hospitalized children and their families, and individuals and organizations to make donations for fulfilling such requests.

4.  Submitted User Content.

You may have the ability to provide, send or transmit to us creative suggestions, ideas, notes, concepts, information, photographs, or other materials (collectively, “Submissions”) to certain areas of the Site.  Without limiting the generality of anything set forth in these Terms, the Code of Conduct described in Section 2 above applies to the use of any Submission. 

You acknowledge that Starlight is under no obligation to post, display, or otherwise use any Submission. Starlight does not endorse any Submission or any opinion, recommendation, or advice expressed therein, and Starlight expressly disclaims any and all liability in connection with all Submissions.  The opinion(s) expressed in any Submission reflects solely the opinion(s) of the user submitting such Submission and does not reflect the opinion(s) of Starlight. If Starlight is notified that a Submission allegedly does not conform to these Terms or may be a violation of any law, regulation, or rights of any third party, including, but not limited to, rights under copyright law and prohibitions on libel, slander, and invasion of privacy, then Starlight has the right, but not the obligation, to investigate the allegation and determine in good faith and in its sole discretion whether to remove such Submission.

You shall be solely responsible for your own Submissions and the consequences of posting or publishing them.  In connection with Submissions, you affirm, represent and/or warrant that: (a) you own, or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to the Submissions and to grant the rights and licenses to Starlight under all trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary or intellectual property rights in and to any and all Submissions in the manner contemplated by the Site and these Terms; and (b) you have the written consent, release, and/or permission of each and every identifiable individual person in the Submission to use the name or likeness of each and every such identifiable individual person in the manner contemplated by the Site and these Terms.  Under no circumstances shall we or our affiliates, suppliers or agents be liable for any loss or damage resulting from the use (including, without limitation, republication) or misuse by any third party of information voluntarily made public through a Submission or any other part of the Site.  IF YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE ANY OF YOUR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE OR OTHER INFORMATION PUBLICLY AVAILABLE IN A SUBMISSION OR OTHERWISE ON THE SITE, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Please note that, because you may have the ability to provide Submissions to us that we would have the right to, at our sole discretion, redistribute, post or upload on the Site, we require certain rights in the Submissions.  Accordingly, by sending or transmitting to us Submissions, or by posting such Submissions to any area of the Site, you grant us and our designees a perpetual, worldwide, non-revocable, non-exclusive, unlimited, transferable, sublicenseable (through multiple tiers), assignable, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable right and license to use, reproduce, distribute (through multiple tiers), create derivative works of, publicly perform, display (publicly or otherwise), store, digitally perform, publish (on the Site, on any other website(s), in print, radio, television or elsewhere), make, have made, sell, offer for sale, import and commercialize each Submission, or any portion thereof, in any manner and context (including but not limited to usage in commercial, advertising or promotional materials), now known or in the future discovered, in Starlight’s sole discretion, in any way, in any and all media, without limitation and without any compensation or acknowledgment to you or any third party.  None of the Submissions shall be subject to any obligation, whether of confidentiality, attribution or otherwise, on our part and we shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Submissions.

You hereby agree not to instigate, support, maintain, or authorize any action, claim or lawsuit against Starlight or its owners/operators, affiliates, and/or licensors, or any other person, on the grounds that any use of a Submission, or any derivative works thereof, infringe any of your rights as creator of the Submission, including, without limitation, trademark rights, copyrights, publicity rights, privacy rights, and moral rights or “droit moral.” 

Subject to the rights and licenses you grant to Starlight under these, you retain all rights to the ownership and use of your Submissions.

5.  User Statements and Opinions.

The opinions expressed in the participating pediatric health care facility public profiles (“public profile”) sections, reviews of products and the Starlight stories sections reflect solely the opinion(s) of the participants – our visitors – and may not reflect the opinion(s) of Starlight.  We have no obligation to monitor the Site, or any other materials that you or other third parties transmit or post on to the Site. However, without limiting anything set forth in these Terms, you acknowledge and agree that we have the right (but not the obligation) to monitor the Site and the Submissions you transmit or post; to alter or remove any such materials (including, without limitation, any posting to a public profile or Starlight story); and to disclose such Submissions and the circumstances surrounding their transmission to any third party in order to operate the Site properly; to protect ourselves, our sponsors, our third party vendors, our licensees and our visitors, and to comply with legal obligations or governmental requests.

6.  Claims of Copyright Infringement.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA“) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by Starlight infringe your copyright (for example, materials posted to the Site on one of the public profiles, product reviews, or Starlight stories), you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow Starlight to locate the material on the Site; (d) the name, address, telephone number, and email address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send Starlight a counternotice.

Notices and counternotices must meet the current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see the information provided by the Library of Congress United States Copyright Office at http://www.copyright.gov/ for details. Notices and counternotices with respect to the Site should be sent to: Starlight Children’s Foundation, Attention: Legal Department, 5855 Green Valley Circle, Ste 107, Culver City, CA 90230 (310) 479.1212.

We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counternotice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.
