"You" means the person accessing or using the App or viewing its Content (and "your" shall have the same meaning).

"Content" means information, audio, radio, podcasts, text, files, images, video, sounds, musical works, works of authorship, materials, applications, software, product names, company names, trade names, logos, designs, and any other materials or Content.
