The Greater Barrington Chamber of Commerce may from time to time offer opportunities for you to voluntarily post or otherwise submit suggestions, ideas, notes, concepts or other information or materials to or through The Greater Barrington Chamber of Commerce Sites (collectively, "Submissions").  

By posting Submissions, you confirm that you have the right to do so and you give us the right to use the content for the purposes of operating and marketing the Site. You are and will remain solely responsible for your Submissions and for the consequences of submitting and posting such Submissions.  You will be solely liable for any damage resulting from any infringement of copyrights, proprietary rights, or any other harm resulting from your Submissions. When submitting or posting Submissions, you should limit, to the fullest extent possible, the amount of personal data you provide because Submissions may be linkable to you depending on the details you provide.

By sending, posting or transmitting Submissions to The Greater Barrington Chamber of Commerce (and/or our designee[s]) or any area of the The Greater Barrington Chamber of Commerce Sites, you automatically grant, or warrant that you or any other owner of the material you submit has expressly granted, The Greater Barrington Chamber of Commerce and our designees a worldwide, non-exclusive, sub-licensable (through multiple tiers), transferable, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable right to use, reproduce, sublicense (through multiple tiers), distribute, create derivative works of, perform and import your Submissions (in whole or in part) in any media now known or hereafter developed, for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to you.  In other words, The Greater Barrington Chamber of Commerce has the automatic right to use your Submissions -- including reproducing, disclosing, publishing or broadcasting your Submissions -- anywhere, anytime, in any medium and for any purpose without paying any fee or owing any obligation to you. You also permit any other user to access, view, store, or reproduce your Submission for that user’s personal use. You hereby grant The Greater Barrington Chamber of Commerce (and/or our designees) the right to use any of your Submissions for any purpose anywhere. Under no circumstances are you entitled to any type of payment if The Greater Barrington Chamber of Commerce (and/or its designee[s]) uses one of your Submissions. All Submissions are deemed non-confidential and non-proprietary.
