Please read them carefully before using this Website. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, please do not use this Website.
General Description
The mission of CMF is to produce program content featuring local issues and voices that matter to the people of Central Florida, and to distribute that content via the Internet, including on this website and through downloadable audio podcasts. We will offer ways for you to contribute, through downloading content and comment of your own. All of this we call the “Services”. To provide the Services, we have to set out some ground rules in this document (the “Terms”). By accessing, using, or contributing to the Services, and as consideration for the Services we provide to you, you agree to abide by the Terms.
CMF may change the Terms from time to time, at CMF’s sole discretion. Your continued use of this website following the posting of such changes will constitute your assent to all such changes. Please periodically visit this section of the site to review the current version of the Terms.

CMF License to Use Your Content
By posting or contributing content using these Services, you are granting CMF a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, and worldwide license to use your content in connection with the operation of the Services, including, without limitation, the license rights to copy, distribute, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, reproduce, edit, translate and reformat your content, and/or to incorporate it into a collective work.
User-Contributed Content
All content contributed by you should be relevant to the mission of CMF – local voices and issues relating to Central Florida. Content may not be illegal, obscene, defamatory, threatening, infringing of intellectual property rights, invasive of privacy or otherwise injurious or objectionable. Visitors may post text, images and videos, so long as the content is not illegal, obscene, threatening, defamatory, invasive of privacy, infringing of intellectual property rights, or otherwise injurious to third parties or objectionable and does not consist of or contain software viruses, political campaigning, commercial solicitation, chain letters, mass mailings, or any form of “spam.” You may not use a false e-mail address, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead as to the origin of the content.
CMF has the right (though not the obligation) to remove, without notice, any content posted which CMF considers, in the exercise of its absolute and unfettered discretion, to violate these Terms or to be outside the mission of CMF. CMF may terminate any account, with or without notice, for posting objectionable content.
User Representations and Warranties
If you post any content, you represent and warrant that you have all right, title, and interest in and to such posted content, including but not limited to, any consent, authorization, release, clearance or license from any third party (such as, but not limited to, any release related to rights of privacy or publicity) necessary for you to provide, post, upload, input or submit the content, and that posting such content does not violate or constitute the infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, right of privacy, right of publicity, moral rights, or other intellectual property right recognized by any applicable jurisdiction of any person or entity, or otherwise constitute the breach of any agreement with any other person or entity. You further represent and warrant that you are who you say you are; that you have not submitted fictitious, false or inaccurate information about yourself; that all factual information contained in the posted content is true or believed by you to be true after reasonable investigation that reveals it is has a sound basis in fact; and the posted content is your own original work or work you are authorized to submit; and that the posted content does not contain any threatening, harassing, libelous, false, defamatory, offensive, obscene, or pornographic, material, or other material that would violate any other applicable law or regulation.

Indemnities
You acknowledge and agree to indemnify and hold CMF, their board of trustees, officers, employees and agents, harmless, from any and all claims, injuries, expenses or demands made by any third party, including for court costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by CMF, due to or arising out of your use of the Site or Services, your violation of these Terms, or the infringement by you or made under your account, of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity.
