Modification of the materials or use of the materials for any other purpose is a violation of Disney's copyright and other proprietary rights. For purposes of these terms, the use of any such material on any other Web site or networked computer environment is prohibited. All trademarks, service marks, and trade names are proprietary to Disney Enterprises, Inc., or ABC, Inc.

In the event you download software from this site, the software, including any files, images incorporated in or generated by the software, and data accompanying the software (collectively, the "Software") are licensed to you by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures does not transfer title to the Software to you. You own the medium on which the Software is recorded, but Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures retains full and complete title to the Software, and all intellectual property rights therein. You may not redistribute, sell, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or otherwise reduce the Software to a human-perceivable form.

SUBMISSIONS.

Disney and Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures's long-standing company policy does not allow us to accept or consider creative ideas, suggestions, or materials other than those specifically requested. We hope you will understand that it is the intent of this policy to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings when projects developed by our professional staff might seem to others to be similar to their own creative work. Accordingly, we must, regretfully, ask that you do not send us any original creative materials such as stories or character ideas, screenplays, or original artwork.

If, at our request you send certain specific submissions or, despite our request that you not send us any other creative materials, you send us creative suggestions, ideas, notes, drawings, concepts, or other information (collectively, the "Submissions"), the Submissions shall be deemed, and shall remain, the property of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. None of the Submissions shall be subject to any obligation of confidence on the part of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, and Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures and Disney shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Submissions. Without limitation of the foregoing, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures shall exclusively own all now known or hereafter existing rights to the Submissions of every kind and nature throughout the universe and shall be entitled to unrestricted use of the Submissions for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to the provider of the Submissions.

Guests shall remain solely responsible for the content of their messages.
