What it is

Users who submit feedback to Redfin assign full ownership of that feedback to Redfin; where assignment is not permitted by applicable law, the terms grant Redfin a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, exclusive, sublicensable, royalty-free license over the feedback, and users waive moral rights and attribution claims.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

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.
