is by and between Mary Kay Inc., its affiliates, and subsidiaries
(collectively, "Mary Kay", "we", "our", or "us")
and you ("you", "your" or "USER").
2. Ways of providing consent (permission) to our use
of your UGC We will contact you on the relevant Third-Party
Platform, our Mary Kay platform, or another platform which provides Services,
to ask for your explicit consent to use your Content. We will ask you to reply
to us confirming whether you give Mary Kay permission to use your UGC. You can
provide us with your explicit written which confirms you agree to allow us to
use your UGC in Mary Kay Media, for example, "yes", "OK", "Agree" and other
similar words in any language. You must respond directly to us within the same
chat, thread or by private message to release the agreed UGC to us. If we do
not receive your response within 7 days from the date we contacted you, we will
assume that you do not consent to our use of your UGC and your UGC will not be
used by us in any Mary Kay Media. 3. By consenting to our use of your UGC, you
agree to provide Mary Kay with the license on the following terms and
conditions 3.1. Licensed Parties. USERs
retain ownership of USER's UGC (but excluding any ownership related to
Services). At the same time, USERs agree to grant a non-exclusive, worldwide
license (as detailed below) to Mary Kay and its executives, employees, related
subsidiaries, agents, licensees, sublicensees, contractors, successors, legal
representatives, assigns, third-party service providers and their respective
marketing or public relations agencies and other affiliates, and all other
users of the Services (the "Licensed Parties"). 3.2. License of UGC. Once USER
allows us to use USER's User Generated Content by providing us with the
consent, USER irrevocably grants to the Licensed Parties the non-exclusive,
assignable, sub-licensable, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, no-cost license
and right to use and otherwise exploit USER's User Generated Content, in whole
or in part, and all USER social profile information, code, content, content
descriptions, and other materials depicted therein, in whole or in part, in any
manner or medium now or hereafter known or devised, including on the Internet,
in any commercial manner, and in advertising and promotion of Mary Kay and its
products and services, throughout the world and in any and all languages
without the requirement to make payment to you or to any third party or the
need to seek any third party permission. The Licensed Parties will have the
right to make unlimited derivative works therefrom, to assign or transfer any
or all such rights and to grant unlimited, multiple-level sublicenses with no
obligations to you, whether financial, credit, approval of changes or
otherwise. USER hereby forever waives and relinquishes all so-called "moral
rights" now or hereafter recognized (e.g., to be named as the author or to
protect the integrity of your UGC.). The Licensed Parties shall have and retain
all right, title, and interest in and to the data resulting from such
derivative works, including without limitation, encoding, compressing,
formatting, and processing of audio and video data. 3.3. The License of Name and Likeness. USER

worldwide right to use their name, voice, likeness, image, photograph,
biographical material, logos, marks or trade names, or other information
provided or obtained ("Name and Likeness"), including without
limitation, the right to publicly display, publicly perform, distribute, and
reproduce the UGC, name, voice, likeness, social profile information and
biographical material, in connection with the Services, the User Generated
Content, in derivative works thereof, and in any advertising, publicity and
exploitation material for purposes of advertising or promoting Mary Kay, its
products and/or services. 3.4. No fees or obligations to return. USER
agrees that no money will be owing to any party because of the posting of the
UGC or its use as contemplated by the Services and this Agreement or for any
use, distribution, or other exploitation of the UGC or any rights therein,
whether as part of the Services or otherwise. USER also agrees that the
Licensed Parties shall not be responsible for the return or preservation of UGC
submitted or any elements thereof. This permission is given to the Licensed
Parties with the knowledge that it will be relied thereon at substantial cost
to the Licensed Parties, and USER agrees not to assert any claim against the
Licensed Parties of any nature whatsoever arising by reason of its use of such
UGC. 3.5. Mary Kay's lack of Obligations. We
reserve the right, but have no obligation, to take any legally available action
that we deem appropriate, in our sole discretion, including, without
limitation, editing, removing, deleting, taking down or otherwise erasing your
UGC at any time without notice for any reason whatsoever. 3.6. Intellectual Property. Your
use of Mary Kay trademarks or tradenames must be conducted in accordance with
your Mary Kay independent sales force agreements and any relevant Mary Kay
guidelines, if applicable. You agree that all goodwill that arises in
connection with your use of Mary Kay's trademarks inures exclusively to Mary
Kay and agree not to challenge Mary Kay's ownership or control of any Mary Kay
trademarks. You acknowledge and agree that you do not acquire any ownership or
other rights in property information and materials of Mary Kay by authorizing
the use of your UGC or otherwise using or accessing the Services. The Services,

for USER to comply with the terms of this Agreement (e.g., if someone has taken
a video of you and your friend, and you submit that video to Mary Kay as your
UGC, then you must obtain your friend's and the photographer's permission to do
so). We may require, at any time, proof of the permissions referred to above in
a form acceptable to us. If you ever have reason to believe that you have not
maintained any of these rights or obligations, you must provide immediate notice
