When content you submit is removed from Xolo Community, whether by you or by Xolo, Xolo’s special license ends when the last copy disappears from Xolo’s backups, caches, and other systems. Other licenses you apply to content you submit, such as Creative Commons licenses, may continue after your content is removed. Those licenses may give others, or Xolo itself, the right to share your content through Xolo Community again.
