These Terms incorporate our Cookie Policy, Privacy Policy and the Service Terms by this reference (collectively called the ‘Licence’). Unless otherwise indicated, all definitions used in the Service Terms shall apply to these Terms.

1. GENERAL

1.1 The Site and the RMC Interactive Services may include, but are not limited to, the provision of a RMC Auction Platform whereupon User-Generated-Content (‘UGC’) may be uploaded, posted and accessed including but not limited to RMC Listing Details and Acceptance Details which may include text, reviews, articles, images, graphics, photos, stories, audio, video, software, audiovisual combinations as well as interactive features (including file-sharing facilities by way of the social media icons where applicable) and other materials in any form, medium or technology now known or hereinafter developed that may be viewed on, accessed through or disseminated publicly on the Site for Your use and for the use by a RMC User to the extent permitted by the functionality of the Site.

1.2 By using any of the RMC Interactive Services and the Site, You expressly agree to be bound by these Terms and all applicable laws and regulations governing the Site and the RMC Interactive Services. These Terms form a legally binding agreement between You and RMC and applies to all RMC Users of the Site who may also be contributors of UGC posted on the Site.

1.3 You should read these Terms carefully and ensure that You understand the effect before proceeding to use the Site. If You disagree with any part of these Terms, do not use the Site. If You violate these Terms, RMC may terminate Your use of the Site, bar You from future use of the Site and/or take appropriate legal action against You. RMC reserves the right to change these Terms at any time without notice, effective immediately upon posting on the Site. Please check this page of the Site periodically. You agree that RMC will treat Your use of the Site and/ or the RMC Interactive Services as acceptance of the Terms including Your continued use subsequent to any changes being posted on the Site.

2. IP LICENCE

2.1 When using the Site and the RMC Interactive Services, if You make use of a feature that allows You to publish any UGC via the Site by way of uploading text, comments, links, photos or otherwise contributing to publicly accessible areas of the Site, You automatically grant:

(a) to RMC, a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, transferable licence (with right to sub-license) to use, record, publish, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display and perform all that UGC, or any part of it, and the Intellectual Property Rights therein, in connection with the provision of the RMC Interactive Services, including without limitation the promotion and redistribution of all or part of Your UCG (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels;

(b) to each RMC User, a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to access Your UGC through the RMC Interactive Services, and to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display and perform such UGC to the extent permitted by the functionality of the RMC Interactive Services and under these Terms.

(‘IP Licences’)

‘Publicly accessible’ areas of the Site are intended by RMC to be available to all RMC Users of the Site as well as RMC (save for that UGC which can be accessed indirectly via the worldwideweb search engines), however, only limited functionality may be available to those who have either not undergone verification and/ or registration on the Site. For example, a RMC Visitor who does not accept a RMC Valuation Offer or who does not go on to create and post a RMC Listing will not be verified or registered and will therefore be unable to access a RMC Auction to sell a Vehicle. Likewise, a RMC Buyer Member who does not register for RMC Buyer Membership will not be able to access a RMC Auction to bid on a RMC Listing.

2.2 Unless terminated (or suspended) for reasons such as those set out in the Licence or unless RMC is no longer providing the RMC Interactive Services to You, the above IP Licences granted by You terminate when You remove or delete all of Your UGC or cancel Your registration or membership. You must contact RMC by email to cancel@removemycar.co.uk to request removal or deletion of UGC or cancellation of Your registration or membership.

2.3 RMC does not guarantee any confidentiality with respect to UGC and You understand and agree that You are solely responsible for Your own UGC and the consequences of posting or publishing it. RMC do not claim ownership of the UGC You submit or make available for inclusion on the Site. You retain all of Your ownership rights in Your UGC but You grant the limited IP Licences set out in Clause 2.1 (a) and (b).

2.4 As between You and RMC (and third parties with whom You might share Your UGC if applicable), You assert and waive any and all moral rights (if any) in Your UGC.
