4. User Content

4.1 Nothing in these Terms gives Exasol AG any ownership rights in intellectual property that you share with the Platform, such as your account information, posts, or other content you submit to the Platform. Nothing in these Terms gives you any ownership rights in Exasol AG’s intellectual property, either.

These Terms do not obligate Exasol AG to store, maintain, or provide copies of content you submit, and to change it, according to these Terms.

4.3 Content you submit to the Platform belongs to you, and you decide what permission to give others for it. But at a minimum, you license Exasol AG to provide content that you submit to the Platform to other users of the Platform. That special license allows the Exasol AG to copy, publish, and analyze content you submit to the Platform.
