Another Disclaimer
We sometimes provide access to other World Wide Web sites from our sites. But we don’t endorse or approve any products or information offered at sites you reach through our site. We make no representations regarding the content or accuracy of materials on such web sites. If you decide to access linked third-party web sites, you do so at your own risk. Check the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address provided in your World Wide Web browser to see if you are still in a McCain-operated site or have moved to another site.

Submissions
McCain will not accept or consider creative ideas, suggestions or materials other than those it has specifically requested. Accordingly, we ask that you do not send us any such materials. If, despite this request, you do submit material to us:
(1) All remarks, suggestions, ideas, graphics, or other information that you communicate to McCain through this site (other than information we promise to protect under our Privacy Policy), become and remain our property, even if this agreement is later terminated.

This means that…

(a) We don’t have to treat any such submission as confidential.
(b) You can’t sue us for using the ideas you submit (including, but not limited to, product or advertising ideas).
(c) We can use such submission, or anything similar, for any purpose without paying you or anyone else for the submission.

You agree not to assert any ownership right of any kind in your submission (including, but not limited to copyright, trademark unfair competition or implied contract), you assign your copyright to us and you waive your moral rights to any copyrightable work.

(2) You acknowledge that you are responsible for any submission you make — in other words, you acknowledge that you (and not we) have full responsibility for the submission, including its legality, reliability, appropriateness, originality, and copyright.
