  2. Intellectual Property: You acknowledge that all intellectual property rights in the My Tax Digital Site, Brand Features, and related materials belong to Open Answers Ltd. This Agreement grants you only a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Brand Features solely for promotional purposes under this Programme.
  3. Sole Responsibility: The Affiliate is solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of their own site and for all materials that appear on it.
