Using UGC where you submit it through our digital platforms or social channels

Our digital platforms and social channels may allow you to supply UGC which can be accessed and viewed by both us and other users (each a "Submission").

By making such a Submission, you acknowledge and represent that:

• you are the copyright owner of such UGC­, or you have been granted the express permission of the copyright owner to make the Submission;

We reserve the right to edit, delete or remove without notification any Submission to our official channels that in our reasonable opinion fails to comply with these Terms. Furthermore we reserve the right to edit, delete or remove without notification any Submission that in our reasonable opinion might infringe a third party's rights, or detract from the Website or in any way bring it, us or our name into disrepute.

Using UGC where we identify your content

Our Use of your UGC

From time to time, we (along with any of our authorised service providers that we may appoint from time to time) may identify UGC, including but not limited to any UGC we find on Third Party Platforms, that we would like to use as part of the LFC Media.

The UGC selected and used by us will be used in accordance with these terms and conditions.

By agreeing that LFC may use the UGC, you hereby grant to LFC and its related companies, agents, licensees, sublicensees, franchisees, contractors, successors, legal representatives, assigns, and third-party service providers, marketing and public relations agencies, and other affiliates (the “Licensed Parties”) a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully-paid, non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable right to use the UGC in any manner to be determined in the Licensed Parties’ sole discretion, including but not limited to use as part of the LFC Media.

The Licensed Parties may use, display, publicly perform, reproduce, distribute, transmit, create derivative works from, combine with other materials, alter and/or edit and make publicly accessible the UGC in any manner in their sole discretion, with no obligation to you whatsoever.

We may determine that the use of your personal data is necessary for the purpose of using and promoting the UGC. Where you agree that LFC may use the UGC, you grant LFC and the Licensed Parties the right to use your your personal data in connection with any use of your UGC.

 Granting permission to use your UGC

If we would like to use your UGC in any way, including as part of the LFC Media, we will contact you on the relevant Third-Party Platform to ask for your consent to use the UGC. Once you have given your consent to us to use the identified UGC, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions as well as the terms of use of any relevant Third-Party Platform.

Where we do not receive a response from you within 7 (seven) days from the date we originally contacted you requesting use of the UGC, we will assume that you do not consent to our use of your UGC.

You accept that we may choose not to use your UGC or to remove your UGC from any LFC Media. You agree that you will not receive any payment or other remuneration if we use your UGC as part of any LFC Media.

If you remove any of the UGC you released to us from the Third Party Platform it was originally posted on then please note that where the UGC is used by us on Third Party Platforms which are not linked, the UGC will not be automatically removed from the LFC Media. If this occurs, and you would no longer like the UGC to be used as part of the LFC Media, please contact the Fan Services team to notify us of your

 

UGC Representations

You hereby agree and represent and warrant that:

• you own all rights in and to your UGC and/or have obtained appropriate rights and permissions from any and all other persons and/or entities who own, manage or otherwise claim any rights with respect to such UGC;
• you are solely responsible for your UGC;
• the Licensed Parties’ use of the UGC as described herein will not violate any third-party rights, including but not limited to copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, privacy, publicity, proprietary or other rights, of any third party, or any law, rule or regulation;
• to the extent permissible by law, you hereby irrevocably waive any “moral rights” or other rights with respect to attribution of authorship or integrity of the UGC;
• the UGC is not libellous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, abusive, indecent, threatening, harassing, hateful, or offensive or otherwise unlawful or prejudicial of any person or group on the grounds of race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age or disability; and
• the creation and use of your UGC in any way, including but not limited to as part of the LFC Media, complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

Further to the above, you agree:

• to give us your permission, and all other necessary, permissions, for us to redesign, archive, reproduce, disseminate, display, publicly perform and/or replay and make publicly accessible, as well as to cut and edit, adapt and modify your UGC or any part of it; and
• that if the UGC is corrupted, inappropriate, illegible or otherwise not in accordance with these terms and conditions then we will not accept the UGC or use it in any way.

Where you grant us permission to use the UGC, the Licensed Parties have no obligation to maintain the confidentiality of any information, in whatever form, contained in any submission by you in relation to the UGC or otherwise, except pursuant to the Licensed Parties’ respective privacy policies.

You hereby release, discharge and agree to hold the Licensed Parties, and any person acting on their behalf, harmless from any liability related in any way to the Licensed Parties’ use of your UGC.

 

Minors

 

Protecting the online privacy of children is especially important to us and whilst we provide access to all areas of the Website to users who are aged under 13 years of age, UGC requests and submissions on social platforms and digital platforms will be limited to users who are aged over 13 years of age. Further, LFC agrees that it shall take reasonable steps to ensure that it does not use any UGC which it identifies online, including on any Third-Party Platforms, where the creator of that UGC is aged under 13 years of age. For the avoidance of doubt, LFC may use UGC whose subject is an individual under 13 years of age provided that we obtain in advance all necessary consents required to use such content.

If we reasonably believe a piece of UGC is created by or being used by a user under 13 years of age, we reserve the rights to terminate such submission, or cease proceeding with a UGC request where we have identified the content, without any warning. Whilst we use our reasonable efforts to prevent Submissions by users who are younger than 13 years of age, we are not responsible for users who do not comply with these strict provisions of these Terms and/or lie about their age when registering a Website or Social Account.

Miscellaneous

To the extent it is permitted by law to do so, we accept no liability for any damage, injury or loss suffered due to our use of the UGC.

We will only use personal information supplied by you for the purposes of using the UGC, unless you provide your consent for us to use your personal information for any other agreed purpose.

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales and any disputes in relation to them are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

The LFC Content (as defined in section 6 of Part A of these Terms and Conditions), which shall include but not be limited to all content on the Premium Content Site, the live stream of the LFCTV television channel and the range of on-demand Liverpool Football Club related content, is owned by or licensed to us and all rights in and to the aforementioned are reserved to us.

The Premium Content Site is to be used by only one individual per username.

Your right to use the Premium Content Site is personal to you.

Registration

Your subscription to the Premium Content Site shall be for the period of time notified to you or selected by you when you sign up (“Service Period”).

You warrant that the information which you provide when you register is true, accurate and complete in all respects and you agree to notify us immediately of any changes by amending your details using the 'My Account' site function.

On registration to the Premium Content Site you will be required to enter a user name (you should ensure that it is not possible to personally identify you from your choice of user name) and password. You must keep the password secure and not disclose it to any other person. If it becomes known by a third party, you must immediately change your password using the 'My Account' site function. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this obligation.

The Premium Content Site may in some regards integrate with third party services or platforms, such as Google+ and Twitter.  You may be permitted to access the Premium Content Site (or other shared functionality) via your registration with such third party service.  These third party services or platforms generally require you to have a separate account and/or registration with them and the terms on which they engage with you and share information or data with us will vary between service and platform.  We therefore suggest you make yourself aware of their own terms and conditions before you associate your activity on the Premium Content Site with those services or platforms.

Payment

You must pay the subscription fee (the "Fee") applicable to the Service Period you have subscribed for, in accordance with the fee plan notified to you at the time of registration. Unless otherwise stated, charges are exclusive of VAT and any other taxes applicable from time to time, for which payment you shall be liable. If you signed up for the Premium Content Site as part of a free trial (which may periodically be offered or withdrawn at any time by us at our sole discretion), whilst we will not charge you for such free period, it is possible that your available credit limit may be affected and we or our third party payment provider will authorise payments for future Service Periods after the expiry of the free period. At the end of such free period the Fee will become payable for all subsequent Service Periods which you have subscribed for when you signed up to the free period (unless you cancel your subscription prior to the end of the free period).

(a)  Credit/Debit card

The Fee will be automatically billed against the credit/debit card number that you provide in the registration form. Payment may be made by any of the following credit, debit or prepaid cards: Visa, Mastercard or Visa Delta.  Multiple authorisation attempts may be made if the first attempt to process the Fee fails (including when we process a Fee for any renewal of the Service Period as described below) but we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Premium Content Site until payment is received.

(b)  Direct Debit (but only to the extent we permit this payment option as indicated at the point of registration)

If we offer direct debit as a payment method and you elect to pay by direct debit we will debit the bank account which you provide the details of in the registration form. The amounts to be debited will be as set out in the fee plan notified to you. If at any time the debit instruction fails we shall use our reasonable endeavors to notify you by email and reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Premium Content Site until payment is received.  Multiple authorisation attempts may be made if the first attempt to process the Fee fails (including when we process a Fee for any renewal of the Service Period as described below).

(c)  Voucher

You can purchase a Voucher from several outlets including the On-Line Store (click here for details ). The Voucher contains instructions on activating your access to the Premium Content Site.

(d)  Cheque/Postal Order

You may elect to pay by cheque or postal order. In order to do so please click here for details on how to pay: We will endeavor to process your payment within 14 days of receipt of your payment. We do not accept any responsibility for payments which are not received by us or accepted by your bank.

We will notify you by email that we have processed your payment of the Fee and inform you that you are a registered subscriber. The email message will constitute our acceptance of your subscription application. Our acceptance of your order will be deemed complete and received by you at the time and date we send the email, which time and date is specified on the email. We accept no responsibility for you not actually receiving the email, for reasons outside our control.

We may use third party payment providers to collect the Fee on our behalf and in such cases we will let you know who they are.  They will ask you for the information they need to collect and process the Fee as part of the sign-up and/or renewal process.  From time to time we may (acting in our discretion) migrate you from one payment system to another where you are paying the Fee by credit card, debit card or direct debit. This will happen in the background and will not materially impact your subscription, save that a different provider may show on your bank statements. Subscription renewals will continue to be taken on the usual subscription day by the new provider, other than renewals within the migration window which won’t be taken until the migration is complete.  In order to complete such migration, test and update the system, and verify your payment details, a temporary “hold” will be placed against your payment card in order to generate a payment token / reference. The holding will be in respect of a nominal amount (between 1p and £1) and will be removed as soon as practicable and in any event, no later than seven (7) days of it initially being put in place.

Renewals

Your subscription will be automatically renewed without notice at the end of the Service Period (and for each Service Period thereafter until you cancel) unless you have cancelled the service in the meantime.   We reserve the right to increase or decrease (or change the currency of) the Fee at any time, but such increase, decrease or change in currency shall only take effect from your next Service Period.  We will also use reasonable endeavours to give you at least two (2) weeks’ notice.  If you do not agree to such increase, decrease or change of currency, please cancel your subscription before your next Service Period is due to start.

Cancellation and Refunds – Please read carefully as recent changes to Consumer Law affect your rights to cancel

You may cancel your subscription at any time using the 'My Account' site function. 

If, on subscription, you opted to waive your right to cancel and receive your subscription benefits immediately, you will not be entitled to receive a refund of the Fee. If you have any queries as to whether you opted to waive your right to cancel, please contact us using our online contact form. 

If you did not opt to receive your subscription benefits immediately and therefore retained your right to cancel, you can cancel your subscription within fourteen (14) days of the date of subscribing for the Premium Content Site and you will be entitled to a full refund of the Fee. In order to receive the refund you must contact us after cancellation using our online contact form. Any notice given by you after this fourteen (14) day period shall not be effective to entitle you to receive a refund. We will refund such sums by crediting your credit/debit card or sending you a cheque (as applicable).
