"SECTION 8 OF THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS PROVISIONS RELATING TO OUR USE OF CERTAIN USER CONTENT.— Excerpt from DoorDash's DoorDash Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: User content licenses implicate copyright law under the Copyright Act (US) and equivalent statutes in other jurisdictions. The scope of any license granted must be assessed against applicable intellectual property law, including the doctrine of moral rights in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The FTC has guidelines on endorsements and testimonials that may apply to user reviews used in marketing contexts. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Broad user content licenses are common in consumer platform agreements; the specific scope and terms of the license in Section 8 cannot be fully assessed from the available document text. The reference in the document header suggests the provision is material enough to warrant prominent disclosure. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: Canada, Australia, and New Zealand recognize moral rights for authors that may limit DoorDash's ability to alter or attribute user content without permission, regardless of a contractual license. EU users may have similar protections under applicable national implementation of EU copyright directives. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations submitting proprietary content through DoorDash's platform (e.g., merchant menu content or marketing materials) should assess whether the user content license in Section 8 captures content submitted in a business context and whether that conflicts with their own intellectual property ownership claims. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should review the full text of Section 8 to assess the scope of the license granted (exclusive vs. non-exclusive, sublicensable, irrevocable, perpetual), the types of content covered, and any user rights to withdraw or delete submitted content. The interaction with Section 11 (Intellectual Property Ownership) should also be reviewed.
