3. OWNERSHIP
The website and all intellectual property rights related to the website, including but not limited to copyrights, trademarks, service marks and any feedback left by users on the website, are owned or licensed by xxxxxxxxxx, and all right, title and interest in the website and the related intellectual property rights remain the property of xxxxxxxxxx. You may not reproduce, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify or create derivative works with respect to the website or any related intellectual property, including any services provided via the xxxxxxxxxx website.
I guess my main interest would be that, if I was to say, successfully sell some freelance writing jobs, which might mean posting said writings to their site, would I lose some portion of the ownership of these writings. As it states in the contract, and any feedback left by users on the website. What sort constitutes feedback ? My response to a prospective customer ? Who might want a preview before making up his mind ? Am I just being paranoid ? Orwellian fear supplanting reason ?
thanks, Cascade
