Think Tank Photo will have no obligations with respect to the Communications.
By posting, uploading, adding, communicating, storing, or otherwise transmitting Communications on, to, or through the Site, you understand and agree that you are giving Think Tank Photo a royalty free, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive and fully sub licensable license to edit, alter, broadcast, post, publish, copy, disclose, distribute, perform, create derivative works from, incorporate and otherwise use the Communications and images, sounds, text, and other things embodied therein for any and all purposes, including commercial, promotional, or marketing purposes throughout the world in any form, medium, or technology now known or later developed. However, you agree that Think Tank Photo has no obligation to use any idea or material contained in a Communication and you have no right to compel such use.
You agree that none of your Communications will include material that:
- is unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, indecent, obscene, pornographic, or that may violate any law;
- could interfere with anyone else's use of the Site;
- encourages or incites anyone to break the law;

- contains a virus or any other harmful or potentially harmful component; or
- contains false or misleading statements of fact or descriptions of the origin of the material or the communication.
Although you are solely responsible for the content you provide, Think Tank Photo may, but is not required to, monitor Communications. If Think Tank Photo becomes aware of Communications that violate these Terms of Use or that it believes to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, Think Tank Photo may act to restrict access to or availability of this material, without notice to you and in its sole discretion, or may take other action as described elsewhere in these Terms of Use.
If you notice that any other user's submissions appear to violate these Terms of Use, or if any other user ever makes you feel harassed or unsafe, please contact Think Tank Photo by emailing ahutchins@thinktankphoto.com.

In sending Communications to Think Tank Photo, you release Think Tank Photo of any duty or obligation it might otherwise have to review or act in response to the Communication, and of any duty or obligation that it might otherwise have to you in connection with any action it chooses to take in response to your Communication.
Unsolicited Ideas
Think Tank Photo has been actively engaged in research and development for over ten years. In order to protect the interests of Think Tank Photo in the ideas and information which have been conceived or developed internally, and to avoid possible future misunderstandings with you or others, Think Tank Photo does not wish to receive ideas, inventions, and the like or any confidential information from persons or entities outside Think Tank Photo unless Think Tank Photo has specifically requested them and a written agreement concerning the use of the ideas, inventions, and the like or any confidential information has been signed. Think Tank Photo maintains a strict policy of not accepting or considering any creative ideas, suggestions or materials from the public ("Unsolicited Ideas") and therefore you should not submit any Unsolicited Idea to Think Tank Photo in any Communications through this Site or otherwise. Think Tank Photo does not wish to receive Unsolicited Ideas from you and has expressly advised you not to submit them. If you nonetheless intend to submit an Unsolicited Idea, Think Tank Photo strongly recommends that you first consult an attorney in order to evaluate the effect that submitting such an Unsolicited Idea would have on any rights that you might otherwise have.
Nonetheless, if you do send Think Tank Photo an Unsolicited Idea that is not already protected by a United States patent or is not public information, it immediately becomes the property of Think Tank Photo. By submitting an Unsolicited Idea to Think Tank Photo, you agree to convey your ownership interest in the Unsolicited Idea to Think Tank Photo, and that Think Tank Photo will exclusively own all rights, title and interest therein. Furthermore, Think Tank Photo will be free to use, without any compensation to you whatsoever, any concepts, ideas, know-how or techniques contained in any Unsolicited Idea for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to developing, manufacturing, and marketing products using such information. Think Tank Photo will not be liable for such use or disclosure of such Unsolicited Idea or for any similarities between the Unsolicited Idea and any future Think Tank Photo uses or activities.
