The document imposes broad intellectual property restrictions, prohibiting public or commercial use of site content without written consent and foreclosing implied trademark licenses; users who submit material to Visa.com irrevocably assign all copyrights, moral rights, and other rights in that material to Visa. Visa disclaims all liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of or reliance on the site, providing the site 'as is' and placing the entire risk of quality, performance, and accuracy on the user.
