Unlike the 'Foo Fighters' contract, at least it seems to be limited to just this planet. Shocking really, but with that catch all at the start they never have to come back to you to ask permission to use your stuff in any way, as by signing up and accepting their terms and conditions, they have it. Just shows how much you have to examine the fine detail if you are using a service, or providing a photographic service to a third party to see what rights they expect to strip off you.
