This provision establishes Zillow's operational rights over user-generated content, enabling the company to integrate such content into service improvements and distribute it through external syndication partnerships. The sublicensing authorization permits content to be made available to other entities without separate user approval for each distribution instance.
Users who submit content to Zillow's Services authorize the platform to use, modify, and distribute that content indefinitely and globally across media channels, including through third-party syndication and distribution partners. The perpetual and non-exclusive nature of the license means users retain no exclusive rights to their submitted content once posted.
