It is very important that you, the end user, be aware of what you are agreeing to when clicking this check box. There is a wide range of information that is written in these agreements. Most are designed to explain what the rights and responsibilities of the user and company. Part of the agreement usually explain the companies privacy policies and how your information will be used.
Many user agreements have a clause which allows them to use anything you submit (upload, type, click, etc) without telling or paying you.
Most end user agreements are written in a legal format that the average person has difficulty understanding but make sure that you read the section on privacy and how your information is used.
