Carrd’s User Content license - should I be concerned?
I’ve been using Carrd for my illustration portfolio and today I took a closer look at their Terms of Use, specifically the User Content section.
I understand that I retain ownership/copyright of anything I upload, but the license they give themselves seems very broad: worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable and sublicensable, including the right to reproduce, modify, create derivative works, distribute and use the content for advertising/trade. There’s also a separate clause giving them rights to use things like your name, likeness, voice, location, etc. if those appear in your content.
I’m not saying Carrd is going to steal everyone’s artwork 😅,I’m more concerned about the scope of the license itself.
My question is: how concerned should I actually be about this? I’d especially love to hear from other artists/illustrators who have looked into this before.
