88**YOUR CONTENT & YOUR PERMISSIONS**
99When you use our Service, you provide us with things like your files, content, messages, etc. ("Your Content"). Your Content is yours. You represent that you have all necessary right, power, and authority to use the Service and share Your Content and will comply with all applicable laws when doing so. These AUP Guidelines don't give us any rights to Your Content except for the limited rights that enable us to offer the Service. We need your permission to do things like host Your Content, back it up, or share it when you ask us to. This permission extends to our trusted third parties we work with. You therefore give us, and third parties (with whom we work) permission to use, display, host, share, and back up Your Content. By submitting Your Content, you also permit us to identify you by your username and as the contributor of Your Content.
6666These AUP Guidelines set forth terms governing your use of the Service, and supersede and replace any other prior or contemporaneous agreements applicable to the subject matter of these AUP Guidelines. These AUP Guidelines create no third-party beneficiary rights. These AUP Guidelines shall inure to the benefit of Instructure and its respective legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

6868**WAIVER, SEVERABILITY & ASSIGNMENT**
6969Instructure's failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. You may not assign any of your rights under these AUP Guidelines, and any such attempt will be void. Instructure may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the Service. If any provision of these AUP Guidelines is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, such provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent allowed by law and the remaining provisions of these AUP Guidelines will remain in full force and effect.
