9. PERMISSIONS YOU GIVE US

Some content that you share or upload, such as photos or videos, may be protected by intellectual property laws. You own the intellectual property rights (things like copyright or trademarks) in any such content that you create and share on My PowerPak. Nothing in these Terms takes away the rights you have to your own content. You are free to share your content with anyone else, wherever you want. However, as a prerequisite to use the Site and Services, you agree to provide us with a license to use your content. This is solely for the purposes of providing and improving our Site and Services. Specifically, when you share, post, or upload content that is covered by intellectual property rights on or in connection with your use of our Site and Services, you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, and worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content (consistent with our Privacy Policy and your user settings). This license will end when you terminate your account. 

When you terminate your account, it's no longer visible to other users, however, it may continue to exist elsewhere on our systems where:

  • Immediate deletion is not possible due to technical limitations;

  • Your content has been used by others in accordance with this license, and they have not terminated their account (in which case this license will continue to apply until that content is deleted or account is terminated); or

  • Where our immediate deletion would restrict our ability to:

    • Investigate or identify illegal activity or violations of our terms and policies (for example, to identify or investigate misuse of our Site, Services, or systems);

    • Comply with a legal obligation, such as the preservation of evidence; or

    • Comply with a request of judicial or administrative authority, law enforcement, or a government agency.

If you request content be deleted and it cannot be deleted as set forth above, the content will be retained for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it has been retained (the exact duration will vary on a case-by-case basis).  In each of the above cases, the license you grant to us will continue until the content has been fully deleted.

All donations or purchases for Champions you make are at your own risk.

My PowerPak uses Third-Party payment Processors (“Processor”) to process donations. My PowerPak’s Processor is an independent company that facilitates distributions of donations to respective Users. You acknowledge and agree that the use of Payment Processors is integral to the use of the Site and Services and that we exchange information with Payment Processors to facilitate the provision of donations to Users. Payments not capable of fulfillment through our third-party payment processor will be mailed to the most current address listed on the Champion’s account.

Donations shall incur a credit card fee of 2.9% plus a $0.30 charge per transaction and a administrative fee of 6% to My PowerPak. Any donation requiring shipment of goods or provision of services may be subject to additional fees. All donations shall be processed and disbursed to a User’s Account in a commercially reasonable time. My PowerPak may, in its discretion, aggregate donations to send at one time. If we choose to accept other payment forms in the future, we will also deduct those fees and costs from the donation prior to sending to the recipient.

My PowerPak permits donors to pay for goods on an Account Wishlist/Marketplace, which are subsequently shipped to the listed recipient.

These Terms are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota, without giving effect to any conflict of laws rules or provisions.
