SERVICES AND CONTENT
Services
The Services (the "Services") offered by Inkbbl include access to Inkbbl websites and services available from the domain and subdomains of http://inkbbl.com/ (the "Websites").
Content

Your use of the Services may provide you access to content including graphics, audio, video, computer programs, animation, text and other creative output ("Content") which may be provided under license by other users or independent content providers ( "Content Providers").
You acknowledge that Inkbbl and other Content Providers may have rights in their respective Content under copyright and other applicable laws and treaty provisions, and that except as specifically provided for herein, such rights are not transferred to you via license or otherwise by mere use of the Services.

Entire Understanding. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and Inkbbl with respect to the subject matter hereof.
Headings. The section headings used herein, including descriptive summary sentences at the start of each section, are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
