Services of the Content that you post), sublicensable (so that
FamilySnap.com is able to use its affiliates and subcontractors such as
Internet content delivery networks to provide the FamilySnap Services),
and worldwide (because the Internet and the FamilySnap Services are
global in reach). This license will terminate at the time you remove your
Content from the FamilySnap Services. The license does not grant

FamilySnap.com the right to distribute your Content outside of the

person. You agree to pay for all royalties, fees, and any other monies
owing any person by reason of any Content posted by you to or through
the FamilySnap Services.
