use only, provided you keep intact all copyright and other proprietary
notices. Modification of the materials or use of the materials for any

Submissions
Disney is pleased to hear from its loyal fans and welcomes your comments
regarding Disney products, including Disney's online services.
Unfortunately, however, Disney's long-standing company policy does not
allow it to accept or consider creative ideas, suggestions or materials
other than those it has specifically requested. We hope you will
understand that it is the intent of this policy to avoid the possibility
of future misunderstandings when projects developed by Disney's
professional staff might seem to others to be similar to their own
creative work. Accordingly, we must, regretfully, ask that you do not
send us any original creative materials such as stories or character
ideas, screenplays, or original artwork. While we do value your feedback
on our services and products, we request that you be specific in your
comments on those services and products, and not submit any creative
ideas, suggestions or materials.
If, despite our request that you not send us any creative materials, you
send us creative suggestions, ideas, notes, drawings, concepts or other
information (collectively, the "Information"), the Information shall be
deemed, and shall remain, the property of Disney. None of the
Information shall be subject to any obligation of confidence on the part
of Disney and Disney shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of
any Information. Without limitation of the foregoing, Disney shall
exclusively own all now known or hereafter existing rights to the
Information of every kind and nature throughout the universe and shall
be entitled to unrestricted use of the Information for any purpose
whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to the
provider of the Information.

Forums and Public
Communication
"Forum" means a chat area, bulletin board, or email function offered as
part of Disney.com.au. You shall not upload to, distribute through, or
otherwise publish through Disney.com.au any content which is libelous,
defamatory, obscene, pornographic, threatening, invasive of privacy or
publicity rights, abusive, illegal, or otherwise objectionable that
would constitute or encourage a criminal offense, violate the rights of
any party, or that would otherwise give rise to liability or violates
any law.
The Forums shall be used only in a noncommercial manner. You shall not,
without our express approval, distribute or otherwise publish any
material containing any solicitation of funds, promotion, advertising,
or solicitation for goods or services. You specifically acknowledge that
soliciting other Disney.com.au guests to join or become members of any
commercial online service or other organization is expressly prohibited.
It is our policy to respect the privacy of all guests. Therefore, in
addition to the privacy of Registration data (see our
Privacy Policy), we will not monitor, edit, or disclose the contents
of a guest's email unless required in the course of normal maintenance
of Disney.com.au and its systems or unless required to do so by law or
in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (1) comply
with the law or comply with legal process served on Disney; (2) protect
and defend the rights or property of Disney; or (3) act in an emergency
to protect the personal safety of our guests or the public. Guests shall
remain solely responsible for the content of their messages.
By uploading materials to any Forum or submitting any materials to us,
you automatically grant (or warrant that the owner of such rights has
expressly granted) us a perpetual, royalty free, irrevocable,
nonexclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt,
publish, translate, create derivative works from, and distribute such
materials or incorporate such materials into any form, medium, or
technology now known or later developed throughout the universe. In
addition, you warrant that all so-called "moral rights" in those
materials have been waived.

Disclaimer
THE MATERIALS IN THIS SITE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES
OF ANY KIND EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE
PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW, DISNEY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. DISNEY DOES NOT
WARRANT THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE MATERIALS WILL BE
UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT
THIS SITE OR THE SERVER THAT MAKES IT AVAILABLE ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR
OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. DISNEY DOES NOT WARRANT OR MAKE ANY
REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE OF THE
MATERIALS IN THIS SITE IN TERMS OF THEIR CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY,
RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. YOU (AND NOT DISNEY) ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST
OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY
NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Further, Disney.com.au explicitly disclaims any responsibility for the
accuracy, content, or availability of information found on sites that
link to or from Disney.com.au from third parties not associated with
Disney. Disney.com.au encourages discretion when browsing the Internet
using our or anyone else’s service. Because some sites employ automated
search results or otherwise link you to sites containing information
that may be deemed inappropriate or offensive, Disney cannot be held
responsible for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality, or decency
of material contained in third-party sites, and you hereby irrevocably
waive any claim against us with respect to such sites.
Disney.com.au cannot ensure that you will be satisfied with any products
or services that you purchase from a third-party site that links to or
from Disney.com.au since other Shop Channels are owned and operated by
independent retailers. Disney.com.au does not endorse any of the
merchandise, nor has taken any steps to confirm the accuracy or
reliability of any of the information contained in such third-party
sites. Disney.com.au does not make any representations or warranties as
to the security of any information (including, without limitation,
credit card and other personal information) you might be requested to
give any third party, and you hereby irrevocably waive any claim against
us with respect to such sites. We strongly encourage you to make
whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before
proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any of these
third parties.

Limitations of Liability
Under no circumstances, including, but not limited to, negligence, shall
Disney be liable for any special or consequential damages that result
from the use of, or the inability to use, the materials in this site,
even if Disney or a Disney authorised representative has been advised of
the possibility of such damages. Applicable law may not allow the
limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In
no event shall Disney's total liability to you for all damages, losses,
and causes of action (whether in contract, tort (including, but not
limited to, negligence) or otherwise) exceed the amount paid by you, if
any, for accessing this site.
