These terms outline the rules and responsibilities for submitting user-generated content, such as photos, captions, comments, or other materials, on social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest, when shared with Columbia Sportswear Company or its affiliates. By providing content, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction, have the authority to accept these terms, and that the submitted material is your original work. Your content must not infringe the rights of others, include unauthorized trademarks or promotional material, contain illegal, offensive, or inappropriate content, or violate any social media platform’s policies. Additionally, any individuals featured in your content must have given permission for their appearance, and no compensation or consent from third parties is required for submission.

By submitting content, you grant Columbia Sportswear Company a worldwide, irrevocable, and unrestricted license to use, reproduce, adapt, publish, display, and distribute your content for business purposes, including marketing, advertising, promotions, and digital communications, without any payment or obligation to you. This license includes the right to use your name, username, image, likeness, caption, or location alongside the content. You affirm that all necessary permissions from individuals or entities involved have been obtained and waive any moral or other legal rights in your content as permitted by law. Columbia Sportswear Company may request additional documentation to confirm or enforce these rights. Submission does not imply endorsement, partnership, or affiliation, and the company retains full discretion over the use of your material.

Any personal information you provide in connection with your content will be collected, used, and disclosed in accordance with the company’s privacy policy. This may include transferring data to affiliates, service providers, or other third parties in different countries for processing.

You also agree to indemnify Columbia Sportswear Company against any claims, liabilities, or losses resulting from any breach of your representations, warranties, or obligations under these terms.

These terms are personal and non-transferable without prior written consent, though the company may freely assign or transfer its rights and obligations. A failure to enforce any provision or a delay in exercising rights does not constitute a waiver. These terms represent the complete agreement regarding your submitted content, superseding any previous communications or understandings. They are governed by the laws of Oregon, USA, with all disputes resolved exclusively in courts located in Oregon. If any provision is deemed unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.
