Exclusive Content License & Submission Policy

The Surf Park Series ("SPS" or "we," "our," or "us") operates the Surf Park Series platform, encompassing our websites, social media pages, and apps (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Platform").

This Exclusive Content License & Submission Policy ("Agreement") outlines the agreement between you and SPS regarding any content or materials, including photos, images, videos, audio recordings, documents, comments, posts, user-generated content, or information (collectively, the "Content") submitted, uploaded, distributed, or posted to the Platform via any means, including email, direct message, or posted comment. This Agreement governs your rights, licenses, obligations, and restrictions concerning Content submission to the Platform.


EXCLUSIVE LICENSE GRANT By submitting or posting Content to us or our Platform in any manner, and in consideration for having the Content shared on our Platform, you automatically grant us, our partners, sponsors, and contributors, or warrant that the content's owner has expressly granted us, a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable exclusive right and license to use, copy, reproduce, publish, distribute, publicly display and perform, sell, edit, modify, prepare, promote, retain, enforce, transmit, remove, repurpose, offer for sale, license to others, commercialize, and otherwise exploit the Content, including any clips or portions, across all media, formats, and channels, within the Platform and merchandise related thereto.
