SPECIAL TERMS FOR MOBILE

I acknowledge and agree with the above terms

Except as we specifically agree in writing, no Content from any Site may be used other than as
part of the Site, reproduced, transmitted, distributed or otherwise exploited in any way, except
that where a Site is configured to enable the download of particular Content, you may download
one copy of such Content to a single computer or mobile device (as applicable) for your
personal, non-commercial home use only, provided that you (a) keep intact all copyright and
other proprietary notices, (b) make no modifications to, and do not rent, lease, loan, sell,
distribute, copy (except to create a single copy for your own back-up purposes),

or create any derivative works based on a Site or the Content, in whole or in part, and (c) do not use the
Content in a manner that suggests an association with any of our products, services or brands.
Any business use, “re-mailing” or high-volume, automated use of the Sites or transferring of any
Content to any other computer or mobile device is prohibited.

USING THE SITES AND CONTENT

The Sites are only for your personal use. You may not use the Sites for commercial purposes or
in any way that is unlawful or harms us or any other person or entity, as determined in our sole
discretion.

All information, materials, functions and other content and applications (including Submissions,
as defined in Section 3, entitled “SUBMISSIONS”) (“Content”) contained on the Sites are our
copyrighted property or the copyrighted property of our licensors or licensees. All trademarks,
service marks, trade names, and trade dress are owned by us and/or our licensors or licensees.
We may change the Sites or delete Content or features at any time, in any way, for any or no
reason.

In the event that we offer downloads of software on a Site and you download such software, the
software, including any files, images incorporated in or generated by the software, and data
accompanying the software (collectively, the “Software”) are licensed to you by us or third-party
licensors for your personal, non-commercial home use only. We do not transfer title to the
Software to you. Except as permitted under applicable law, you may not distribute or otherwise
exploit the Software or decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise reduce the
Software to a human-readable form.

You acknowledge and agree that nothing in these terms of use shall have the effect of transferring the ownership of any trademarks, service marks, trade names or other proprietary rights in the Sites or Content or any part thereof to you or any third party. You undertake not to do any act or thing which is inconsistent with or which is likely in any way to prejudice such title.

I acknowledge and agree with the above terms

DO NOT DISTRIBUTE ANY UNSOLICITED SUBMISSIONS.

Our long-standing company policy does not allow us to accept or consider unsolicited creative ideas, suggestions or materials, so please do not distribute Unsolicited Submissions on or through any of the Sites. We hope you will understand that it is the intent of this policy to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings when projects developed by us or under the direction of us might seem to others to be similar to their own creative work.

If, despite our request, you intentionally or unintentionally send us Unsolicited Submissions on

or through any of the Sites, you do so even though there is no agreement whatsoever between us regarding any consideration or review of your Unsolicited Submissions or any compensation or consideration of any type. In fact, you agree that any Submissions you make are not being made in confidence or trust and that no confidential or fiduciary relationship is intended or created between you and us in any way, and that you have no expectation of any review, compensation or consideration of any type.

Except as expressly stated in these terms of use, the provisions of these terms of use apply

equally to Unsolicited Submissions and Solicited Submissions. Accordingly, we, our licensees,

distributors, agents, representatives and other authorised users shall be entitled to exploit and

disclose all Submissions, and we shall not be liable to you or to any person claiming through you for any exploitation or disclosure of any Submission.

Without limiting the foregoing, you hereby grant us (and our licensees, distributors, agents,

representatives and other authorised users), without the requirement of any permission from or payment to you or to any other person or entity, a perpetual, non-exclusive, irrevocable, fully-paid, royalty-free, sub-licensable and transferable worldwide licence under all copyright, trademarks, patents, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights you own or control, to use, reproduce, transmit, print, publish, display, exhibit, distribute, redistribute, copy, host, store, cache, archive, index, categorise, comment on, broadcast, stream, edit, alter, modify (including, without limitation, removing lyrics and music from any Submission or substituting the lyrics and music in any Submission with music and lyrics selected by us), adapt, translate, create derivative works based upon and publicly perform and otherwise exploit such Submissions, in whole or in part, in all media formats and channels now known or hereafter devised (including, without limitation, on Disney group sites, on third-party web sites, on our broadcast and cable networks and stations, and on our broadband and wireless platforms, products and services, on physical media, and in theatrical release) for any and all purposes in any media format and through any media channels, including, without limitation, news, advertising, promotional, marketing, publicity, trade or commercial purposes, all without further notice to you and with or without attribution (the “Submissions Licence”).

SUBMISSIONS

In these terms of use, we use the word “Submissions” to mean text, messages, ideas, concepts, pitches, suggestions, stories, screenplays, treatments, formats, artwork, photographs, drawings, videos, audiovisual works, musical compositions (including lyrics), sound recordings, program formats, characterisations, your and/or other persons' names, likenesses, voices, usernames, profiles, actions, appearances, performances and/or other biographical information or material, and/or other similar materials that you submit post, upload, embed, display, communicate or otherwise distribute (collectively “Distribute”) on or through any of the Sites.

There are two types of Submissions: Solicited Submissions and Unsolicited Submissions.

“Solicited Submissions” means those Submissions (a) that we expressly request or enable you to provide to us via any feature or activity on a Site for our review or display and possible specifically-defined consideration or compensation (collectively, “Consideration”) (such as prizes or other value in games, sweepstakes, contests and promotions); and (b) that you distribute on or through any of the Sites for which you do not seek Consideration (such as in our Guest Services and in Public Forums (as defined below in Section 7, entitled “PUBLIC FORUMS AND COMMUNICATION”)). “Unsolicited Submissions” are any and all Submissions that do not fall within subparagraphs (a) or (b) of this paragraph.

By communicating a Submission, you represent and warrant that the Submission and your

communication of that Submission conforms to the Rules of Conduct (set forth below in Section 8 labelled “RULES OF CONDUCT”) and other requirements of these terms of use and that you own or have the necessary rights, licences, consents and permissions without the need for any permission from or payment to any other person or entity to exploit, and to authorise us to exploit, such Submission in all manners contemplated by these terms of use (including the Submissions Licence). These terms of use (including the Submissions Licence) do not limit any past or future grant of rights, consents, agreements, assignments and waivers you may have made or make with respect to Submissions.

To the extent that any Submissions submitted by you contain original songs or recordings, you

hereby represent that you are a member of the applicable mechanical and/or performing rights society and that all musical compositions (including lyrics) contained in such Submissions are available for licensing to us (and our licensees, distributors, agents, representatives and other authorised users) directly from such societies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, regardless of whether you are a member of any such society, you hereby grant us (and our licensees, distributors, agents, representatives and other authorised users) a perpetual, non-exclusive, irrevocable, fully paid, royalty-free, sub-licensable and transferable worldwide licence to publicly perform each and every musical composition (including lyrics) and sound recordings contained in such Submissions.

To the extent that we solicit Submissions through features or activities on any of the Sites

(including, without limitation, games, sweepstakes, contests, promotions and Public Forums

(defined below in Section 7 labelled “PUBLIC FORUMS AND COMMUNICATION”) that

require the use of our copyright works (in whole or in part), we hereby grant you a non-exclusive

licence to create a derivative work using our copyrighted works (in whole or in part); provided

however, that such licence shall be conditioned upon your assignment of all rights in the work

you create to us (and our licensees, distributors, agents, representatives and other authorised

users). If such rights are not assigned to us (and our licensees, distributors, agents,

representatives and other authorised users), your licence to create material using our copyrighted

works (in whole or in part) shall be null and void. You agree to the foregoing grant of rights,

consents, agreements and assignments whether or not your Submissions are used by us.

You hereby appoint us as your agent with full power to enter into and execute any document

and/or do any act we may consider appropriate to confirm the grant of rights, consents,

agreements, assignments and waivers set forth in these terms of use.

You agree that any Submissions you make are not being made in confidence or trust and that no

confidential or fiduciary relationship is intended or created between you and us in any way. To

the extent any “moral rights,” “ancillary rights,” or similar rights in or to the Submissions exist

and are not exclusively owned by us and to the extent you are able to do so under applicable law,

you agree not to enforce any such rights as to us or our licensees, distributors, agents,

representatives and other authorised users, and you shall procure the same agreement not to

enforce from any others who may possess such rights.

Without limiting the scope of the Submissions Licence or any future grant of rights, consents,

agreements, assignments and waivers you may make with respect to Submissions, you hereby

ratify any prior grant of rights, consents, agreements, assignments and waivers made by you with

respect to Submissions submitted by you to us.

I acknowledge and agree with the above terms

We may make Content, such as games, available on the Sites for you to licence and download.

When purchasing a licence to use and download certain Content from a Site charges in addition

to the standard data charges referred to above may apply to such Content (“Additional

complete the relevant licence purchase. The Additional Charges are displayed inclusive of value

added tax (VAT) and similar consumption taxes, and are subject to change.

We may offer certain Content free of Additional Charges, or at reduced Additional Charges, in

respect of which you may be required to watch an advertisement or receive other marketing

marketing communications you should stop using the Content and delete it from your mobile
