You are responsible for any Clips that you use, post and/or share to social media or others.
Under no circumstances will Visaic or BBSG be liable in any way for any Clips that you use, post, and/or share to social media or others.

  • terminate your access to and use of this Site, or to modify, edit or block your transmissions thereto or therefrom in our sole discretion.

You agree that our exercise of such discretion shall not render us the owners of Clips you post, nor shall it constitute a grant of any rights to you to edit, use, post, share and/or otherwise distribute such Clips, in whole or in part or in any way.
