By using our Site, you affirm that you are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, representations, and responsibilities set forth in these Terms, and to abide by and comply with these Terms. This Site links to other websites, which may have their own terms and conditions of use, specific to those websites. When you access or browse such other websites, you will be subject to such websites’ applicable terms and conditions of use.

2. CONTENT ON OUR SITE
Everything on or used in connection with our Site, including text, images, graphics and logos (collectively, “Content”) is owned by us or our affiliates, licensors, or suppliers. You may not modify, publish, scrape, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, create derivative works of, or in any way exploit any of the Content (including Content that our Site enables you to download or save) without our express permission.

Here’s what permission we give you to use the Content. We give you permission to use the Content to browse and view our Site, which means displaying or loading the Content on your device in connection with typical web browsing activity. We also give you permission to use the Content for your personal, non-commercial uses.

You do not have our permission to distribute the Content, publicly display it, charge any fee for it, use it to create your own website, construct a database with it, replicate our Site or any parts of it elsewhere, or programmatically scrape our Site to reuse the Content for any purpose without our permission. We intend these only as examples and not as an exhaustive list of things you can’t do with our Content.

Regardless of the permissions we give you to use the Content, we or our affiliates, licensors, or suppliers remain the sole owner of all of the Content, and you do not acquire any ownership rights in the Content by assembling, creating files, downloading, or saving any of it. If we have included an author attribution, a trademark or copyright notice, or other legal notices on the Content, you should not remove or alter any of these.

We reserve the right to take over the exclusive defense of any claim for which we are entitled to indemnification from you. In such an event, you shall provide us with cooperation reasonably requested by us.

7. INDEPENDENT PARTIES
You and Sony are independent parties, and nothing in these Terms constitutes a partnership between or joint venture of you and Sony or makes either party the agent of the other.
