I AM THE AUTHOR AND NO OTHER PERSON ASIDE FROM MYSELF APPEARS IN THE PHOTOGRAPH: I shot the original photograph(s), graphic(s), image(s), selfie(s), video(s), message(s), or other material(s) that I have tagged with #wahooyes or uploaded, and created any accompanying caption(s) (collectively, the “User Content”), I own the User Content and there are no other entities that have ownership claims to the User Content, and, in consideration for good and promotional consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, I wish to license any and all rights in the User Content to Wahoo Fitness L.L.C. (“Wahoo”) upon the terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement.  I warrant and represent that no other person has shot, created, or appeared in the User Content.  In the event someone else has in fact shot, created, or appeared in the User Content or has any ownership claims in the User Content, I hereby warrant and represent that each person has, in consideration for good and promotional consideration, in a writing that I shall furnish promptly to Wahoo upon request, licensed sufficient rights in the User Content to me such that I may license the User Content to Wahoo upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

While Wahoo will make commercially reasonable efforts to give you credit for your User Content and provide a link back to your content or account, you agree that such credit is not mandatory and your permission for Wahoo to use your User Content is not contingent upon such credit being given. You waive any right to inspect and/or approve the finished work incorporating the User Content or the advertising copy that may be used in connection therewith or any use upon which said finished work may be applied. Further, you waive any claims to royalties with regards to your User Content or our finished work.

I ASSUME THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF THE USER CONTENT: I understand under no circumstances will Wahoo be liable in any way for any loss or damage of any kind incurred by me as a result of the use of the User Content.
