Description of the Services

Sportland Arcade provides users, such as You, with an online platform through which you may submit certain content, such as images, to be displayed on our associated billboard located in Ocean City, MD (“Services”). Accordingly, by using our Services, you may easily make your trip to Ocean City special, such as by sending a message to your loved ones, memorializing a special event, or sharing your experience in Ocean City.

Please understand, however, that our Services constitute a public display that may be seen, read, heard, captured, or otherwise experienced by numerous people, including people of different ethnicities, backgrounds, ages, and beliefs. Accordingly, these Terms of Service not only address the manner in which we will provide our Services to You, but also outline certain content-based guidelines directed to the content you ask us to post to the Billboard. We kindly request that you carefully read all of the provisions found in these Terms of Service and follow all content-based guidelines recited in this Agreement. Simply put, we kindly request the content you ask us to post to our Billboard is respectful to all who may see it.

As previously stated, our Services constitute facilitating the display of Your content on our Billboard. Your content may comprise, for instance, pictures (“Your Content”), which You may upload to our Website or any other associated platform and/or mobile application.

Intellectual Property

As previously stated, Our Services are designed to let you upload, submit, and ultimately share Your Content through Our Billboard. You understand that You have no obligation to provide any content to Us, and that Your Content provided to Us was made by Your choice alone. If You do choose to provide Us with Your Content, please make sure it is lawful to do so.

Our Intellectual Property

Sportland Arcade and any other service marks and trademarks, including our logos and the “look and feel” of our Website, are our intellectual property and are protected by trade dress, trademark, unfair competition, copyright, and other laws, and may not be copied or imitated in whole or in part. No logo, graphic, sound, or image relating to our Services may be copied, transmitted, or used in any manner. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as providing You with a license to use any of our intellectual property, all right and title of which shall remain solely owned by Sportland Arcade.

Your Intellectual Property

Your Content is Yours, and always will remain Yours. Therefore, by using Our Services, You will retain any and all intellectual property rights relating to Your Content. However, because Our Services will display Your Content on Our Billboard, we need your permission to display Your Content, and that permission comes in the form of a temporary, revocable license.

Specifically, by using Our Services and requesting Us to display Your Content on Our Billboard, You hereby agree to provide Us with a non-exclusive, royalty-free, and revocable license to publish, publicly perform, or publicly display Your Content for the sole purpose of displaying Your Content on Our Billboard. In so doing, You understand we may need to host, reproduce, distribute, and/or create derivative works from Your Content in order to ensure the same is properly displayed on Our Billboard; thus, the foregoing license grant extends to these rights as well.

Further, You acknowledge and agree that, by using Our Services, Your Content will be viewed, and possibly photographed, copied, distributed, transmitted, or used by third parties. As such, You hereby acknowledge and agree that we are unable to prevent the actions of third parties with respect to Your Content, and that we shall not be responsible for what happens to Your Content after we display the same.

Please note that You may, at any time and for any reason, revoke the foregoing license grant. In such case, we will not display Your Content on Our Billboard. Also, please note the foregoing license grant is merely temporary, and shall extinguish once we display Your Content on Our Billboard.

Copyright Policy

We have adopted and implemented a policy that provides for termination, in appropriate circumstances, of users and orders who infringe upon the rights of copyright holders. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide our Copyright Agent the following information required by the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512:

  1. a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
  2. identification of the copyright work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;
  3. identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material;
  4. information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted;
  5. a statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  6. a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Please be advised that if you materially misrepresent that any material is infringing, you will be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred as a result of such allegations under 17 U.S.C. §512(f).
