Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you acknowledge that such consideration includes your use of the Teva site and receipt of data, materials and information available at or through the Teva site, the possibility of our use or display of your Solicited Submissions.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1.

You should assume that everything you see or read on the site is copyrighted and may not be used without the written permission of Teva, except as provided in these terms and conditions or in the text on the site. Teva neither warrants nor repre­sents that your use of material displayed on the site will not infringe rights of third parties. Nothing contained on the site should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any Teva intellectual property right (including, but not limited to any patent, trademark, trade name, copyright or trade secret).

2.

You may download material displayed on the site for non-commercial,  personal use only, provided you also retain all copyright and other proprietary notices contained in the mate­rials or as specified on the site. You may not, however, distribute, modify, transmit, reuse, re-post, or use the content of the site, including the text, images, audio, and video, for public or commercial purposes.

3.

When you access Teva through a mobile network, your network or roaming provider’s messaging, data and other rates and fees will apply.  Downloading, installing or using certain features of this site may be prohibited or restricted by your network provider and not all aspects of this site may work with your network provider or device.

4.

Images of people or places displayed on the site are either the property of, or used with permission by, Teva. The use of these images by you, or anyone else authorized by you, is prohibited unless specifically permitted by these terms and conditions or as provided elsewhere on the site. Any unauthorized use of the images may violate copyright laws, trademark laws, the laws of privacy and publicity, and communications regulations and statutes. You are also advised that Teva will aggressively enforce its intellectual property rights to the fullest extent of the law, including the seeking of criminal prosecution.

5.

The trademark logos and service marks displayed on the site (collectively the "trademarks") are registered and unregistered trademarks of Teva and others. Nothing contained on the site should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any trademarks without the written permis­sion of Teva or such third party that may own the trademarks.

6. 

Teva has not reviewed all of the sites linked to the site and is not responsible for the content of any off-site pages or any other sites linked to the site. Your linking to any other off-site pages or other sites is at your own risk.

7. 

In these terms of use, we use the word "Submissions" to mean text, messages, ideas, concepts, pitches, suggestions, stories, treatments, formats, artwork, photographs, drawings, videos, audiovisual works, musical compositions (including lyrics), sound recordings, characterizations, your and/or other persons' names, likenesses, voices, usernames, profiles, actions, appearances, performances and/or other biographical information or material, and/or other similar materials that you submit, post, upload, embed, display, communicate or otherwise distribute (collectively, "Distribute") on or through the Teva site.

There are two types of Submissions: Solicited Submissions and Unsolicited Submissions. "Solicited Submissions" means those Submissions (a) that we expressly request or enable you to provide to us via any feature or activity on the Teva site for our review or display and possible specifically-defined consideration or compensation (collectively, "Consideration") (such as prizes or other value in games, sweepstakes, contests and promotions); and (b) that you Distribute on or through the Teva site for which you do not seek Consideration (as defined below). "Unsolicited Submissions" are any and all Submissions that do not fall within subparagraphs (a) or (b) of this paragraph. Our long-standing company policy does not allow us to accept or consider Unsolicited Submissions so please do not Distribute Unsolicited Submissions on or through the Teva site. We want to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings when projects developed by us or under our direction might seem to others to be similar to their own creative work. We therefore ask that you not Distribute any Unsolicited Submission. In any event, you agree that any Submission you make is not being made in confidence or trust and that no confidential or fiduciary relationship is intended or created between you and us in any way, and that you have no expectation of any review, compensation or consideration of any type (other than any stated Consideration).  Except as expressly stated in these terms of use, the provisions of these terms of use apply equally to Unsolicited Submissions and Solicited Submissions. Accordingly, we, our licensees, distributors, agents, representatives and other authorized users shall be entitled to exploit and disclose all Submissions, and we shall not be liable to you or to any person claiming through you for any exploitation or disclosure of any Submission.

8. 

While Teva uses reasonable efforts to include accurate and up-to-date information in the site, Teva makes no warranties or representations as to its accuracy.  Teva shall not be held responsible for any action taken that is based on the information presented on the site, and all users of the site agree that access and use of the site is at the user’s own risk.  Teva assumes no liability or responsibility for any errors or omissions in the content of the site.

9. 

Your use of and browsing of the site are at your own risk. Neither Teva nor any other party involved in creating, producing, hosting or delivering the site is liable for any direct, incidental, consequential, indirect, or punitive damages arising out of your access to, or use of, the site or its contents. Without limiting the foregoing, everything on the site is provided to you "AS IS," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANT­ABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. Please note that some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. Check your local laws for any restrictions or limitations regarding the exclusion of implied warranties.

10. 

Teva also assumes no responsibility, and shall not be liable for, any damages to, or viruses that may infect your computer equipment or other property on account of your access to, use of, or browsing in the site or your downloading of any materials, data, text, images, video or audio from the site.

Any communication or material you transmit to the site by electronic mail or otherwise, including any data, questions, comments, suggestions, or the like is, and will be treated as, nonconfidential and non proprietary. Anything you transmit or post may be used by Teva or its affiliates for any purpose, including, but not limited to, reproduction, dis­closure, transmission, publication, broadcast and posting. Furthermore, Teva is free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in any communication you send to the site for any purposes whatsoever including, but not limited to, developing, manufacturing, marketing, and selling products using such ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques.  We also reserve the right, but disclaim any obligation or responsibility, to (a) refuse to post or communicate or remove any Submission from the Teva site that violates these terms of use (including any rules of conduct) and (b) identify any user to third parties, and/or disclose to third parties any Submission or personally identifiable information, when we believe in good faith that such identification or disclosure will either (i) facilitate compliance with laws, including, for example, compliance with a court order or subpoena, or (ii) help to enforce these terms of use (including the rules of conduct) and/or our contest, sweepstakes, promotions, and game rules, and/or protect the safety or security of any person or property, including Site. Moreover, we retain all rights to remove Submissions at any time for any reason or no reason whatsoever.

12. 

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your username(s), password(s), and your account(s), as well as all activities that occur under your account(s). You hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us, our licensors, licensees, distributors, agents, representatives and other authorized users, and each of the foregoing entities' respective resellers, distributors, service providers and suppliers, and all of the foregoing entities' respective officers, directors, owners, employees, agents, representatives and assigns (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities and costs (including settlement costs and any legal or other fees and expenses for investigating or defending any actions or threatened actions) incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with any claim arising out of any breach by you of these terms of use or claims arising from your use of the Teva site and/or your account(s). You shall use your best efforts to cooperate with us in the defense of any claim. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to employ separate counsel and assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you.

13. 

Teva reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate or block your access to the site or to modify or remove any content from the site at any time and without notice, for any reason.

14. 

Any failure by Teva to exercise or enforce any right under these terms and conditions shall not constitute a waiver of such right. If any portion of these terms and conditions is held to be unenforceable, that portion shall be deemed severable from these terms and conditions and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein.

15. 

Teva may at any time revise these terms and conditions including by modification, deletion and/or addition of any portion thereof of this posting. You are bound by any such revisions and should, therefore, periodically visit this page to review the current terms and conditions to which you are bound.  If we make a material amendment to these terms of use, we will notify you of such amendment by sending you an e-mail at the last e-mail address that you provided us, and/or by posting notice of such amendment on the Web sites covered by these terms of use. Any such amendment to these terms of use will be effective thirty (30) calendar days following either our dispatch of an e-mail notice to you or our posting of notice of the changes on the Web Sites. Please note that, at all times, you are responsible for updating your personal information to provide us your current e-mail address. In the event that the last e-mail address that you have provided us is not valid, or for any other reason is not capable of delivering to you the notice described above, our dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice of any amendment described in the notice.
