Burgess COMMENTARY

The Sustainable Business Lab A Global Community & Resource Centre for Sustainable Business Terms of Use ... Statement of Rights and Responsibilities This Statement of Rights and Responsibilities ('Statement') derives from the Global Sustainable Business Principles, and governs our relationship with users and others who interact with Global Sustainable Business (GSB). By using or accessing GSB, you agree to this Statement. 1.Privacy Your privacy is very important to us. We designed our Privacy Policy to make important disclosures about how you can use GSB to share with others and how we collect and can use your content and information. We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy, and to use it to help make informed decisions. 2. Sharing Your Content and Information We own all of the content and information posted on GSB, and control how it is shared. In addition: 1. For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos ('IP content'), you specifically give us the following permission: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with GSB ('IP License'). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it. 2. When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others). 3. When you publish content or information you accept that this content can be accessed by any member of the site, and it will be associated it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture). 4. We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about GSB, but you understand that we may use them without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them). 3. Safety We do our best to keep GSB safe, but we cannot guarantee it. We need your help to do that, which includes the following commitments: 1. You will not send or otherwise post unauthorized commercial communications (such as spam) on GSB. 2. You will not collect users' content or information, or otherwise access GSB, using automated means (such as harvesting bots, robots, spiders, or scrapers) without our permission. 3. You will not engage in unlawful multi-level marketing, such as a pyramid scheme, on GSB. 4. You will not upload viruses or other malicious code. 5. You will not solicit login information or access an account belonging to someone else. 6. You will not bully, intimidate, or harass any user. 7. You will not post content that: is hateful, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence. 8. You will not develop or operate a third-party application containing alcohol-related or other mature content (including advertisements) without appropriate age-based restrictions. 9. You will not use GSB to do anything unlawful, misleading, malicious, or discriminatory. 10. You will not do anything that could disable, overburden, or impair the proper working of GSB, such as a denial of service attack. 11. You will not facilitate or encourage any violations of this Statement. 4. Registration and Account Security GSB users provide their real names and information, and we need your help to keep it that way. Here are some commitments you make to us relating to registering and maintaining the security of your account: 1. You will not provide any false personal information on GSB, or create an account for anyone other than yourself without permission. 2. You will not create more than one personal profile. 3. If we disable your account, you will not create another one without our permission. 4. You will not use your personal profile for your own commercial gain. 5. You will not use GSB if you are a convicted sex offender. 6. You will keep your contact information accurate and up-to-date. 7. You will not share your password, let anyone else access your account, or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your account. 8. You will not transfer your account (including any page or application you administer) to anyone without first getting our written permission. 9. If you select a username for your account we reserve the right to remove or reclaim it if we believe appropriate (such as when a trademark owner complains about a username that does not closely relate to a user's actual name). 5. Protecting Other People's Rights We respect other people's rights, and expect you to do the same. 1. You will not post content or take any action on GSB that infringes or violates someone else's rights or otherwise violates the law. 2. We can remove any content or information you post on GSB if we believe that it violates this Statement. 3. If we remove your content for infringing someone else's copyright, and you believe we removed it by mistake, you can appeal by writing to the administrators of the site. 4. If you repeatedly infringe other people's intellectual property rights, we will disable your account when appropriate. 5. You will not use our logo, copyrights or trademarks, or any confusingly similar marks, without our written permission. 6. If you collect information from users, you will: obtain their consent, make it clear you (and not GSB) are the one collecting their information, and post a privacy policy explaining what information you collect and how you will use it. 7. You will not post anyone's identification documents or sensitive financial information on GSB. 8. You will not tag users or send email invitations to non-users without their consent. 6. Amendments 1. We may change this Statement as we require and it is your responsibility to check this page regularly to keep up to date with any changes that are made. 2. We can make changes for legal or administrative reasons, or to correct an inaccurate statement, upon notice without opportunity to comment. 7. Termination If you violate the letter or spirit of this Statement, or otherwise create risk or possible legal exposure for us, we can stop providing all or part of GSB to you. We will notify you by email or at the next time you attempt to access your account. You may also delete your account or disable your application at any time. 8. Disputes 1. If anyone brings a claim against us related to your actions, content or information on GSB, you will indemnify and hold us harmless from and against all damages, losses, and expenses of any kind (including reasonable legal fees and costs) related to such claim. 2. WE TRY TO KEEP GSB UP, BUG-FREE, AND SAFE, BUT YOU USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS STATEMENT OR GSB, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THIS STATEMENT OR GSB WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED POUNDS (£100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US IN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS.
