By submitting User Content to the Service, you grant Storynote a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, process, display, and otherwise use your User Content as necessary to operate and improve the Service, including providing collaborative stories to you and other authorized participants.

You are solely responsible for your User Content and for ensuring that you have all necessary rights to upload and share it. You agree that your User Content will not violate any law or the rights of any third party.
