About these Terms

​

These Terms apply to all ‘Contributions’ made to Engage Video Group (Pty) Ltd and/or our direct and indirect affiliates, subsidiaries and group companies (collectively, ‘we’ or ‘us’). A ‘Contribution’ is something you make and submit to us, it includes:

​

  • posts from social media accounts

​

  • videos and clips

​

  • pictures

​

  • recipes

​

  • reviews

​

  • questions

​

  • comments

​

  • competition entries

​

  • all other ‘user-generated content’ (that means, content you make) 
     

When do these Terms apply

​

You agree to these Terms if you upload a Contribution to one of our websites, mobile sites, or social media pages (each called a ‘Website’ from here on) or if you submit a Contribution in response to a request from us.

 

For example, if you post a video on your (public) Instagram account of you making one of our recipes as part of a competition or promotion, or share photos of your food creations on our Facebook page – you choose to allow us to use your Contribution and these Terms will apply.

​

If you don’t agree with anything in these Terms, or wish to keep any content, information, ideas, concepts or inventions private or proprietary to you, do not post them to the Website, respond to our requests, or otherwise submit them to us.
 

What we can do with you Contribution

​

If your Contribution is selected by us, we may show or use it on our Website or in other marketing, advertising or promotions - together with your name and other identifying information provided (including any social media identifier, handle or profile picture). If you would like to know more about how we handle personal information we receive as part of your Contributions, please see our Privacy Policy.

​

We do not, unless we agree this with you, claim any rights of ownership in your Contribution. That means you keep all ownership rights in your Contribution and, although we will be able to use the Contribution as set out in these Terms, you will also have the right to use your Contribution in any way you choose. If we ever plan to acquire ownership of your Contribution this will be made clear on the relevant Website (or in the relevant campaign) and you will then be able to choose whether to provide your Contribution on that basis.

​

You agree that this includes the right for us to make such Contribution available to other companies, organisations or individuals who partner with us for the syndication, broadcast, distribution or publication of your Contribution on other media and services, subject always to these Terms. You also agree that in the event we receive any royalties, compensation or other payments associated with exercising the rights granted to us under these Terms, you can’t claim any right to any portion of such royalties, compensation or other payments.
