3.1 Definition. "Your Information" is defined as any information you provide to us, alliance partners or gym alliance members in the process of using the services. Your Information includes feedback and posted forum comments. You are solely responsible for Your Information, and we act as a passive conduit for your online distribution and publication of Your Information.

3.3 License. Solely to enable Gym Alliance to use the information you supply us with, so that we are not violating any rights you might have in that information, you agree to grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple tiers) right to exercise the copyright, publicity, and database rights (but no other rights) you have in Your Information, in any media now known or not currently known, with respect to Your Information.

You may not take any actions that may undermine the integrity of the feedback system. If as an Alliance Partner you earn a net feedback rating of -4 (minus four), your Alliance Partnership will be reviewed and maybe suspended. During suspension you will be unable to receive Gym Passport holders.
5.1 Export. You acknowledge that your feedback consists of comments left by Gym Passport members and a composite feedback number compiled by Gym Alliance, and that the composite number without the comments does not convey your full user profile. Because feedback ratings are not designed for any purpose other than for indicating the relative service of Alliance Partners to Gym Passport holders, you agree that you shall not market or export your Gym Alliance feedback rating in any venue other than a Gym Alliance operated website.
5.2 Import. We do not provide the technical ability to allow you to import feedback from other websites to Gym Alliance because a composite number, without the corresponding feedback does not reflect your true online reputation within our community.
