Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: May 24, 2020

These Terms & Conditions are mostly boilerplate we copied and adapted from another website.

​

The only thing we want to highlight is that when you enter a contest or upload or submit content to Our-Comeback, whether you win the contest or not, you grant Our-Comeback and its successor non-profit organization a perpetual, world-wide, non-exclusive license to use your content for advancing awareness and understanding of male gender issues, which may include using it in media products to be sold for non-profit fundraising. You warrant that you own the right and authority to grant such a license. This information appears on our submission forms, too.

​

Any questions or concerns – please contact us at our-comeback.com/contact.

​

HERE IS WHERE THE ADAPTED BOILERPLATE BEGINS.


We may make changes to our Terms & Conditions from time to time. Please note the date of this version, above. If you see that we have a newer version than the last one you’ve seen, look at the end of this document for a change history so you’ll know what’s different. The amended Terms & Conditions will become effective upon their being posted on Our-Comeback’s website or at such later date as may be stated on the amended Terms & Conditions. By continuing your use of the Services you accept the amended Terms & Conditions.

Your use of and access to our Services, software, websites (including third-party plug-ins and extensions) and/or applications (together: “Services”) are governed by these Terms & Conditions (“Terms”). The Services may be provided to you online and/or may be integrated in a third party service. The Services allow you to participate in Our-Comeback’s effort to advance male gender issues. You assume all responsibility and liability for all Content you submit or upload. The Services are provided to you as the user of the Services by Jack Kammer dba Our-Comeback with a postal address of Box 434, Highland MD 20777 USA. Until such time as we organize as a non-profit corporation Our-Comeback operates as a sole proprietorship of Jack Kammer.


By using Our-Comeback (directly with us or through a third party application, plug-in, extension or integration) you agree and accept these Terms & Conditions and our Privacy Policy.


If the Services include, are used in connection with, or are integrated in the services of third parties, the terms and/or privacy and cookie policies of those third parties may apply in addition to these Terms & Conditions.

Waiver, Severability & Assignment

Our-Comeback’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later.

If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part-provision shall be deemed deleted. Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part-provision under this clause shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of these Terms & Conditions.

If any (part of a) provision of these Terms & Conditions is found to be illegal, unenforceable or otherwise invalid, then (i) the rest of the Terms & Conditions will remain in full force and effect to the extent permissible under or consistent with the relevant laws; and (ii)that part will be deemed to be deleted and substituted by a valid one which in its economic effect comes so close to the invalid part.

You may not assign any of your rights under these Terms & Conditions. Our-Comeback is at any time entitled to assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the Services without your consent or any other restriction.
