You will also provide us with the right to reproduce, modify or create derivative works from your Content. Obviously we won’t be modifying your Content, we need these rights, for example, to be able to share your session plans with other users whom you share your Content with (reproduce, distribute or transmit) or to resize an uploaded picture to fit in format that will work most efficiently with the Service (modify or create derivative works). You will also provide us with a right to publicly perform or display your Content to allow us to display the material on any party’s monitor who is not the copyright holder of that material.
