"With respect to User Content you submit or otherwise make available on or to the Service, you grant FanDuel an irrevocable, fully sub-licensable, perpetual, world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and publicly display such User Content (in whole or in part), and to incorporate such User Content into other works, in any format or medium now known or later developed.— Excerpt from FanDuel's FanDuel Terms of Use
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages copyright law under the US Copyright Act, as the license asserts broad rights over user-created expression. It may also interact with state right-of-publicity statutes to the extent user content includes a person's name, image, or likeness. The FTC's framework on unfair or deceptive practices is relevant if the scope of the license is not adequately disclosed to users at the point of content submission. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Irrevocable and perpetual content licenses are common in consumer platforms, but the combination of sublicensability, worldwide scope, and inclusion of formats not yet developed is broader than some comparable platforms. The primary governance risk is reputational and regulatory if users are unaware of the license's scope at the time of submission. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California's right-of-publicity statute and similar laws in New York and Tennessee may constrain how FanDuel or its sublicensees use content that includes identifiable personal attributes, even where a license is granted. EU users may have additional rights under GDPR regarding processing of personal data embedded in user content, though the document does not appear to address EU users specifically. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Sublicensability means third-party partners and vendors receiving FanDuel content may be operating under this license. Procurement and partnership agreements should confirm that downstream sublicensees are bound by appropriate use restrictions and that the license grant does not conflict with applicable data protection obligations. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether the license disclosure is sufficiently prominent at the point of user content submission, particularly for features involving user-generated content. A review of right-of-publicity compliance across active state jurisdictions is advisable given the sublicensable scope of the grant.
