• the Content is not pornographic, does not contain threats or incite violence towards individuals or entities, and does not violate the privacy or publicity rights of any third party;

By submitting Content or graphic materials to F&B Social to make use of its Services, you grant F&B Social a world-wide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive licence to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the content and materials solely for the purpose of displaying, distributing and promoting your Content on your own social media accounts.
