Sponsor content is provided as is. You chop video clips into smaller pieces, but you may not stitch clips together into longer clips.

Sponsor content with logos must retain the logo on the content.

you may not add your logos or urls to sponsor content. You may not attach headers and trailers to sponsor content videos.

You may not upload or distribute sponsor content through any third party site that you do not own or control. You may not post videos on tube style sites, you may not make the content available through P2P networks, and you may not post the content to newsgroups or other areas.

You may not place sponsor content in zips, compressed archives, or other "single download" format. All sponsor content must be presented in the original format, images as images, videos as videos. You have not been granted redistribution rights in any other format. You may not post the zip files you have downloaded from our content area.

Etc.
