Seller's Content License Grant
License for Content. By entering into this Agreement, Seller grants Hewglo Inc. and its Affiliates a royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide, sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable right and license to use, reproduce, perform, display, distribute, adapt, modify, re-format, create derivative works of, commercially or non-commercially exploit in any manner, incorporate and imbed into other works, and distribute Seller Content throughout the Site and all Affiliate properties.

All such uses of the Seller’s Marks will be subject to the brand guidelines which Seller provides to Hewglo Inc.
Product Information and Other Content
Content. Seller agrees and warrants that any and all Seller Content: (a) will be truthful, accurate, and not misleading or otherwise deceptive; (b) will not violate the intellectual property rights of any third party such as copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights, rights of publicity or privacy; (c) will not violate any applicable Law; (d) will not be defamatory, trade libelous, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing; and (e) will not create liability for Hewglo Inc.
