You may need to set up an account in order to use some of the features of the Website. You may not use a third party’s account without permission. When you are setting up your account, you must give us accurate and complete information. This means that you cannot set up an account using a name or contact information that does not apply to you, and you must provide accurate and current information on all registration forms that are part of the Website. You have complete responsibility for your account and everything that happens on your account. This means you need to be careful with your password. If you find out that someone is using your account without your permission, you must let us know immediately. You may not transfer your account to someone else. We are not liable for any damages or losses caused by someone using your account without your permission. However, if we (or anyone else) suffer any damage due to the unauthorized use of your account, you may be liable.

Personal Use Only.

We are making the Website available to you for your information and personal use only. You may not (and you agree not to) use, copy, distribute, transmit, broadcast, sell, or do anything else with the Website for any other purpose.

You are solely responsible for any User Content you post to the Website, and the consequences of posting or publishing it. By “User Content”, we mean any Content you post to the Website. “Content” means information, data, text, software, music, sound, photos, graphics, videos, messages, tags, interactive features, or any other materials.

If you post User Content, you are making a guarantee to us that you either own all the Content you are posting, or you have the right to post the Content. Furthermore, you are guaranteeing that you have the right to allow us to make your User Content available for others to view and use as part of the Website without requiring that any such use be subject to additional obligations or terms. If you do not have these rights, do not post the Content. By posting your User Content, you do not lose any ownership rights you may have to it. However, you do grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully-paid, sublicenseable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform your User Content in connection with the Website and our business, in any media formats or in tangible form and through any media channels now known or hereinafter developed. You also grant each user of the Website a non-exclusive royalty-free, fully-paid, sublicenseable and transferable license to access your User Content through the Website, and to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display and perform your User Content as permitted through the functionality of the Website and under these Terms of Service.

User Content you Share becomes Public.

You understand that once you post User Content, your content becomes public. We are not responsible for keeping any User Content confidential.

We are Not Responsible for User Content.

We generally do not review any of the User Content posted by our users. We do not endorse any User Content or support any views, opinions, recommendations, or advice that may be in user submissions. User Content comes from a variety of sources, and we make no promises about the reliability of any source or the accuracy, usefulness, safety, or intellectual property rights of any user submission. You may be offended by User Content that you see on the Website. You may find some of it to be inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable. However, you agree not to hold us responsible in any way for your use of our Website, including your exposure to User Content.

Storage and Availability.

We are not a content-archiving service. We do not promise to store or make available on our Website any User Content that you submit, or any other Content, for any length of time. You are solely responsible for keeping back-ups of everything you post on our Website.

You acknowledge that temporary interruptions in the availability of the Website may occur from time to time as normal events. Also, we may decide to cease making available the Website or any portion of the Website at any time and for any reason. Under no circumstances will Ease or its suppliers be held liable for any damages due to such interruptions or lack of availability.

Proprietary Rights.

Ease and its suppliers retain all right, title and interest (including all copyright, trade secret, patent and other rights) in and to the Website and Content that is included in the Website (other than User Content). If you give feedback on the Website, such as recommendations for improvements or features, such feedback will be deemed non-confidential and non-proprietary, and implementation of that feedback is owned by us and may become part of the Website without compensation to you. We reserve all rights in and to the Website unless we expressly state otherwise. The Website contains proprietary and confidential information that is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws.

You may not copy, frameset, enclose or otherwise distribute any part of the Website.

All brand, product and service names used in the Website that identify Ease, our suppliers, or our or their proprietary products and services are the trademarks or service marks of Ease or our suppliers. Nothing in the Website shall be deemed to confer on any person any license or right on the part of Ease or such supplier with respect to any such image, logo or name.

You agree not to disable, interfere, or try to get around any of the features of the Website related to security, preventing or restricting use or copying of any Content, or enforcing the limits on the use of the Website or the Content on the Website.

Enforcement of Copyrights.

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. You may not use our Website to infringe anyone else’s copyright or other intellectual property right. If we find out that you are infringing, we will remove your User Content. We do not have to give you notice that we are removing your User Content. We may also terminate your account if we decide that you are a repeat infringer. We consider a repeat infringer to be a user who has been notified of infringing activity more than twice or who has had User Content removed from our Website more than twice.

General Terms.

These Terms of Service are governed by laws of the state of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles.

The rest of these Terms of Service will still be in effect. If we waive any of our rights under these Terms of Service in any particular instance, it does not mean that we are waiving our rights generally or in the future.

These Terms of Service, and any rights and licenses granted under these Terms of Service, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by us without restriction.
