While I too have no doubt Lagoa can be trusted, the fact that such
clauses can be standard for clouds gives me chills :s
I'm positive that users wouldn't have to 'agree' to too vaguely worded
(or lengthy) clauses that may be potentially compromising just by
accepting to use it,
and that default privacy settings would be set to what most people would
set them to, if they actually made it to the settings page.
(unlike many social networks)

It's pretty standard legal BS for any cloud service, without it they
could be sued for holding onto the files they need to render for you
with the back-end.
I very, very seriously doubt Thiago plans to use without permission
any of the material rendered through teamUp for promotion or sales,
but the gray area of cloud services requires some rather (overly)
robust wording on the fact they have rights on the information you
provide.
They don't acquire the IP or license for distribution in any form with
that, those are the clauses you really have to watch out for. The
former is impossible (illegal) but constitutes vice of form, the
latter can plant a sizeable penis firmly up your colon, especially if
you're contracting.
