However, we are not obligated to take any action not required by law. We are not responsible or liable for the conduct or content of any Participant.

2. Maintain Appropriate Rights in Your User Content: With respect to all User Content that you submit to us, you represent and warrant that the material is either fully original to you or that you have all the necessary rights, licenses, permissions, clearances and consents needed from third parties in order for you to submit your User Content (including, but not limited to, all copyright and right of publicity and privacy rights) for you to comply with the terms of this Agreement. Your User Content should not contain any visible logos, phrases, or trademarks that belong to third parties (other than WYND). Do not use any User Content that belongs to other people and pass it off as your own; this includes any content that you might have found elsewhere on the Internet or other source. If anyone contributes to your User Content or has any rights to your User Content, or if anyone appears in the User Content, then you must also have their permission to submit such User Content to WYND. (For example, if someone has taken a video of you and your friend, and you submit that video to WYND as your User Content, then you must obtain your friend’s and the videographer’s permission to do so.) We may require, at any time, proof of the permissions referred to above in a written form acceptable to us.
3. 
   
4. Non-Confidentiality of Your User Content: You agree that: (a) your User Content will be treated as nonconfidential – regardless of whether you mark them “confidential,” “proprietary,” or the like – and will not be returned; and (b) WYND does not assume any obligation of any kind to you or any third party with respect to your User Content.

Any Unsolicited Ideas and Materials you post on or send to us via the Application are deemed User Content and licensed to us as set forth in these Terms. In addition, WYND retains all of the rights held by members of the general public with regard to your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials. WYND’s receipt of your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials is not an admission by WYND of their novelty, priority, or originality, and it does not impair WYND’s right to contest existing or future intellectual property rights relating to your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials. Each Participant acknowledges that other participants may have created ideas and concepts contained in their User Content that may have familiarities or similarities to his/her own User Content, and that he/ she will not be entitled to any compensation or right to negotiate with WYND because of these familiarities or similarities. Notwithstanding any custom and practice to pay an individual for an idea (if any), nothing herein shall create an implied or express contract to compensate entrants for their User Content and there is no obligation for WYND to pay or otherwise compensate Participants for any of their ideas or materials in any communications with WYND, whatsoever

18. Disclaimer of Warranty; Limitation of Liability: We provide the WYND Content for you to interact with us and with our other WYND fans, and to provide you with information about us and our products. While we strive to provide WYND Content that is accurate and complete, under no circumstances will we be liable for any loss or damage caused by your reliance on information in any WYND Content (or User Content). It is your responsibility to evaluate the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any information, opinion, advice or other WYND Content made available by us.
    
     ALL CONTENT AND SERVICES, WHETHER PROVIDED BY WYND, ITS LICENSORS, ITS VENDORS OR ITS USERS, AND OTHER INFORMATION ON OR ACCESSIBLE IN CONNECTION WITH THE CAMPAIGN AND/OR APPLICATION IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. SPECIFICALLY, BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION, WYND DOES NOT WARRANT THAT: (i) THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE IS FREE OF ERRORS; (ii) THE FUNCTIONS OR FEATURES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, MECHANISMS FOR THE DOWNLOADING AND UPLOADING OF USER CONTENT) WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS; (iii) DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR (iv) THE APPLICATION, OR THE SERVER(S) THAT MAKES IT AVAILABLE, ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS AND AWARDS WILL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL THIRD-PARTY, OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS INCURRED (IF ANY) NOT TO EXCEED TEN DOLLARS ($10.00), BUT IN NO EVENT WILL ATTORNEYS’ FEES BE AWARDED OR RECOVERABLE
19. 
    
20. Governing Law, Jurisdiction and No Class Actions: We hope we never get into any disputes with you in connection with these Terms, but just in case, here are some things that would apply:
    • GOVERNING LAW/JURISDICTION. THESE TERMS AND THE INTERPRETATION OF THESE TERMS WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES AND SPECIFICALLY WILL NOT BE GOVERNED BY THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTIONS ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS, IF OTHERWISE APPLICABLE. ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE WITH RESPECT TO THIS CAMPAIGN MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISES.
    • Arbitration. You and we agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any controversy or claim in connection with or related to these Terms not otherwise resolved between you and WYND will be settled solely by binding arbitration by a single neutral arbitrator who is a lawyer or retired judge in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), administered in accordance with the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes; provided, however, that any issues relating to WYND’s intellectual property rights, including any such rights WYND claims that may be in dispute, shall only be subject to arbitration if WYND’s General Counsel agrees in writing to have such subject to arbitration. If a party submits the dispute to formal arbitration hereunder and the AAA is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within forty-five (45) days of the filing of a “demand for arbitration,” then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. (“JAMS”), using its streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or any other mutually agreeable arbitration administration service. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury and review is limited. However, just as a court would, the arbitrator must honor the terms and conditions in these Terms and can award the prevailing party(ies) damages and other relief. You and we each further agree that any such controversy or claim will be arbitrated on an individual basis, and will not be consolidated in any arbitration or other proceedings with any claim or controversy of any other party; provided, however, that if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate does not apply and the dispute must be brought in court. If an in-person hearing is required, the arbitration hearing will be conducted in Orange County, California (unless prohibited by applicable law) and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered into any court having jurisdiction of it. The parties will pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules; provided, however, if applicable law requires WYND to pay a greater portion of such fees in order for the arbitration provision to be enforceable, WYND shall have the discretion to elect to pay such fees and proceed to arbitration. You can obtain procedures, rules, and fee information from the AAA at 1-800-778-7879 or www.adr.org and from JAMS at (949) 224-1810 or http://www.jamsadr.com. Discovery shall be permitted pursuant to the applicable arbitration rules. The arbitrator’s award will consist of a written statement stating the disposition of each claim, and will provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The award shall be enforceable by any court with jurisdiction over the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of us may bring qualifying claims in small claims court.
    • 
      
    • No Class Actions. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any and all disputes, claims and causes of action you may have in connection with or related to these Terms will be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action.
21. 
    
22. Right to Investigate/Cooperation with Law Enforcement: WYND reserves the right, without any limitation, to: (i) investigate any suspected breaches of the Application security or its information technology or other systems or networks, (ii) investigate any suspected breaches of these Terms, (iii) investigate any information obtained by WYND in connection with reviewing law enforcement databases or complying with criminal laws, (iv) involve and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in investigating any of the foregoing matters, (v) prosecute violators of these Terms, and (vi) discontinue the Application, in whole or in part, or suspend or terminate your access to it, in whole or in part, including any user accounts or registrations, at any time, without notice, for any reason and without any obligation to you or any third party. Any suspension or termination will not affect your obligations to WYND under these Terms. Upon suspension or termination of your access to the Application, or upon notice from WYND, all rights granted to you under these Terms will cease immediately, and you agree that you will immediately discontinue use of the Application. The provisions of these Terms, which by their nature should survive your suspension or termination will survive, including the rights and licenses you grant to WYND in these Terms.
23. 
    
24. Consent to Terms; Updated Terms: You agree to comply with: (i) all applicable laws, rules and regulations in connection with your submission of User Content; (ii) all applicable Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, Foursquare, Apple, Google, and/or such other social network, geo-location service or mobile environment terms, rules, policies and guidelines; and (iii) these Terms. You also consent to WYND’s Privacy Policy (https://clubwyndham.wyndhamdestinations.com/us/en/privacy-settings and https://www.worldmarktheclub.com/legal/ucg-terms-conditions.shtml). Your submission of User Content will be deemed express acceptance and compliance with these Terms and with WYND’s Privacy Policy (https://clubwyndham.wyndhamdestinations.com/us/en/privacy-settings and https://www.worldmarktheclub.com/legal/ucg-terms-conditions.shtml). WYND reserves the right to modify these Terms, at any time without prior notice (“Updated Terms”). You agree that we may notify you of the Updated Terms by posting them on the Application so that they are accessible via a link on the Application, and that your use of the Application after we post the Updated Terms (or engaging in such other conduct as we may reasonably specify) constitutes your agreement to the Updated Terms. The Updated Terms will be effective as of the time that WYND posts them on the home page of the Application, or such later date as may be specified in them.
25. 
    
26. Severability; Interpretation: If any provision of these Terms is for any reason deemed invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms, and the invalidity of the provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of these Terms (which will remain in full force and effect). To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to waive, and you hereby waive, any applicable statutory and common law that may permit a contract to be construed against its drafter.
