The Service, Software and any Materials provided by Mitoworld or obtained or accessed by You from Mitoworld or its agents shall remain the sole property of Mitoworld and its successors assigns, and under no circumstances may be used in any way other than pursuant to this Agreement or other agreement between You and Mitoworld, nor may any Software or Materials, or Service, be retained, sold, or reproduced by any means by You except as specified in this Agreement or the Mitoworld documentation, and You shall have no intellectual property rights, including but not limited to trade secrets, trademarks, patent rights, copyrights and moral rights in the Service or any of the Software and Materials [Intellectual Property Rights], and upgrades, updates and derivative works thereto.  No right or license is granted to You or to any third party by implication, estoppel or otherwise, other than the express rights set forth in this Agreement. Mitoworld may discontinue development of the Software at any time, which will not affect Your subscription license during the Term.  Any rights that You acquire in such Service, Software and/or Materials, other than the license rights granted by this Agreement, are hereby assigned to Mitoworld, including all intellectual property rights that You may have or acquire anywhere in the world (including moral rights, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law), and any other rights You may have pertaining to the Service provided by or made accessible by Mitoworld.  You will not attempt to register any Intellectual Property Rights anywhere in the world. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Customer (whether You or the Organization You represent) retains all rights in all content not provided by or made accessible by Mitoworld that You use in Worlds with the Service [Customer Content], or which is used more broadly as described in Section X below, and in any personally identifiable information or personal data [PII] that Users and/or Customers provide to Mitoworld to facilitate provisioning of the Service, which remains the property of the data subjects who provided such PII, except as otherwise indicated in Section X below.  The PII that is provided to Mitoworld in order to establish accounts and provide the Service consists of User name, email address, and may include a photo/image to create the User avatar, and GPS or location information about the User.  Given that You may choose to create an avatar that is not a photo or image of You, such avatar may not constitute PII.
