This provision transfers intellectual property ownership of user-submitted feedback to Redfin rather than granting a license, which is operationally distinct from a standard content license grant. The fallback exclusive license is perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable, covering use in any manner Redfin determines.
Under this clause, feedback submitted by users — defined to include feedback, comments, and suggestions for improvements — is assigned in full to Redfin, with no retained rights or attribution for the submitting user. The agreement also includes a waiver of moral rights to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
