Submissions

Blissfully Domestic encompasses a number of different channels through which you will be able to submit materials to us (collectively, “Submissions”). For example, your Submissions might include articles or reviews you have written, photographs you have taken, or messages you would like post to comments or forums.

We do not claim ownership of any of your Submissions. However, by making a Submission you

(b) warrant that you have the right to grant the foregoing rights to us,

(c) agree that we have no obligation to compensate you for your Submissions or to exercise any of the foregoing rights and that any such exercise shall be in our sole and absolute discretion,

(d) warrant that your Submission does not contain any material that is abusive, vulgar, threatening, harassing, libelous, defamatory, or obscene, that invades a person’s privacy, that violates any intellectual property rights or that violates any law,

(e) warrant that your Submission does not solicit funds, or advertise or solicit goods or services,

(f) agree that we may, and may authorize others to, identify and credit you as the author of your Submissions and use your name and pertinent biographical data in connection therewith, and

(g) agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any and all loss, damage, and/or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that we may suffer arising from or related to the exercise by us of the foregoing rights or the breach or alleged breach by you of any of the foregoing warranties by. We are not responsible for screening Submissions for any reason

We retain, however, the right to reject, modify or remove Submissions that we, in our sole and absolute discretion, consider unacceptable. Whether or not we reject, modify or remove a Submission, you remain solely responsible for the content of your Submission. If we highlight any particular Submission in any area of the Sites, any promotional materials or otherwise, such conduct is not intended as, and should not be deemed to be, an endorsement by us of such Submission.

Copyright Infringement

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. Accordingly, we have a policy of removing Submissions that violate copyright law, suspending access to the Sites (or any portion thereof) to any user who uses the Sites in violation of copyright law, and/or terminating in appropriate circumstances the account of any user who uses the Sites in violation of copyright law. Pursuant to Title 17 of the United States Code, Section 512, we have implemented procedures for receiving written notification of claimed copyright infringement and for processing such claims in accordance with such law. If you believe your copyright is being infringed by a user of the Sites, please provide written notice to the following agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement.
