Terms of service.

I agree that The Giving Notes Project does and will own, and may use as song lyrics or otherwise, any material that I submit (whether, either in this online submission or through subsequent exchanges in the future). I know that normally a writer owns the copyright  and moral rights to  any story, song, poem or other writing that he or she creates. However, by participating in the The Giving Notes Project process and desiring to advance its mission, I am expressly relinquishing any claim of copyright that I have in material I write and send to The Giving Notes Project, and I hereby assign all right, title and interest in and to the same to The Giving Notes Project, including without limitation the right to protect and enforce and sue under the same. The Giving Notes Project has agreed to provide me with certain benefits if it uses in its song lyrics any material I submit. Those benefits include being credited (if I so choose in the future) as the inspiration for any song based on, or using parts of, the materials I submit. In return, I agree that materials that I submit to The Giving Notes Project are and will be considered a “work for hire” owned by The Giving Notes Project.  I am not, however, currently granting to The Giving Notes Project, any right  to use my name or likeness or my name (except as required to credit me as discussed above, if I so choose).
