All User Submissions must comply with the Conduct on Service set out in this Terms of Use.

Any User Submission that you post will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary, to the extent permitted by law.

You grant to CIB the right to use all User Submissions or any other materials or information (including, without limitation, ideas for new or improved products or services) you communicate to CIB by all means and in any media now known or hereafter developed. You also grant to CIB the right to use your name in connection with the submitted materials and other information as well as in connection with all advertising, marketing and promotional material related thereto.

Additionally, we cannot control the actions of other users of the Service or any third parties with whom you may choose to share your User Submissions. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that your User Submissions will not be viewed by unauthorized persons.

User Submissions must be accurate and comply with all applicable laws in the country from which they are posted.
