Customer grants the rights set forth in Sections D.3 through D.6, free of charge and for the purposes identified in those sections until such time as Customer removes Customer Content from A Serious Business, Inc. servers, except for Content Customer has posted publicly and that External Users have Forked, in which case the license is perpetual until such time as all Forks of Customer Content have been removed from A Serious Business, Inc. servers. If Customer uploads Customer Content that already comes with a license granting A Serious Business, Inc. the permissions it needs to run the Service, no additional license is required.

3. License Grant to Us

Customer grants to A Serious Business, Inc. the right to store, parse, and display Customer Content, and make incidental copies only as necessary to provide the Service.

4. Moral Rights

Customer retains all moral rights to Customer Content that it uploads, publishes, or submits to any part of the Service, including the rights of integrity and attribution. However, Customer waives these rights and agrees not to assert them against A Serious Business, Inc., solely to enable A Serious Business, Inc. to reasonably exercise the rights granted in Section D, but not otherwise.

E. Private Boards

Customer is responsible for managing access to its Private Boards, including invitations, administrative control of Organizations and teams, and of access.

2. Confidentiality

These rights may vary depending on the service or feature, but A Serious Business, Inc. will continue to treat Customer Content in Customer’s Private Boards as Customer’s Confidential Information. If those services or features require rights in addition to those it needs to provide the Service, A Serious Business, Inc. will provide an explanation of those rights.

4. Exclusions

If A Serious Business, Inc. has reason to believe the Content of a Private Board is in violation of the law or of this Agreement, A Serious Business, Inc. has the right to access, review, and remove that Content.
