License Grant; Licensee’s Content

Licensor hereby grants Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Site and Services for the term for which Licensee has paid the applicable subscription fees ("License Term"), solely for Licensee’s own personal use. Licensee may create one account through which Licensee can utilize the Site and Services. Licensee may not share Licensee’s account or account information with any other individual. Use of an account by more than one individual is strictly prohibited.

The Site includes a combination of content that Licensor creates, that Licensor's partners create, and that Licensor's users create. Licensee may use the content on the Site only for Licensee’s personal use in connection with the Services and/or Licensee’s licensed use of Licensor's products. Except for the foregoing, Licensee may not modify, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, reproduce, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform, reverse engineer, publicly display, or in any way exploit any of the software, materials or content on the Site in whole or in part.

Licensee warrants that Licensee owns or has sufficient legal right to the intellectual property rights in any content posted or uploaded to the Site by Licensee (“Licensee’s Content”) and that Licensee’s Content, including any use thereof by Licensor as described herein, does not violate applicable law or the rights of any third party. This license will apply to the distribution and the storage of Licensee’s Content in any form, medium, or technology now known or later developed. For clarification, Licensee’s Content shall not include any of Licensee’s personal information.

Licensee may be exposed to content that Licensee finds offensive, indecent, or objectionable or that is inaccurate, and Licensee bears all risks associated with using that content. Licensor has the right, but not the obligation, to remove any content that may, in Licensor's sole discretion, violate this Agreement or that is otherwise objectionable.

Licensor shall be entitled to adjust the scope of the Services and the underlying technical infrastructure to reflect the continuing development of the Services and technical advances.

Purpose of Site Linking

The Site is for general informational purposes only. Before you act on information you've found on our website, you should independently confirm any facts that are important to your decision. Licensor is not responsible for, and cannot guarantee the performance of, any products or services provided by any advertisers or others to whose sites we link. A link to another website does not constitute an endorsement of that site (nor of any product, service or other material offered on that site) by Licensor or its licensors

Technical Support

Licensor will provide email contact information to Licensee for the purpose of providing technical support to Licensee. Licensor does not guarantee any level of technical support for technical issues not within the direct control of Licensor. Licensor does not guarantee that the Site or Services will be available at any time.

While we make every effort to protect our servers and your data against loss and unauthorized access, you acknowledge that the Internet is not a 100% secure environment and thus we cannot guarantee the security of your information as there is always a risk that an unauthorized third party may find a way to circumvent our security systems or that transmission of your information over the Internet may be intercepted. You agree that we shall have no responsibility for any losses or damages that do not arise solely from our intentional misconduct, including but not limited to losses or damages arising from any third party access of your account resulting from theft, misappropriation, or other illegal access of your personal information.
