1. OUR SERVICES

The content and information provided through our Services are not intended for use or distribution where doing so would violate laws or regulations, or subject us to additional registration requirements in those jurisdictions. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you are solely responsible for complying with local laws, if and to the extent they apply.

Our Services are not designed to satisfy industry-specific regulations (such as HIPAA, FISMA, or similar), so if your interactions fall under such regulations, you may not use the Services. You also may not use the Services in any manner that would violate the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).

2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Our intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, we or our licensors own all intellectual property rights in our Services, including but not limited to source code, databases, software, website designs, text, photographs, graphics, audio, and video (collectively, the “Content”). We also own (or license) the trademarks, service marks, and logos in the Services (“Marks”). The Content and Marks are protected under various laws and treaties worldwide.

The Content and Marks are provided “AS IS” for your internal business use only.

Your use of our Services

Subject to your continued compliance with these Legal Terms (especially Section 8, “Prohibited Activities”), we grant you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to:

solely for your internal business purposes.

Except where these Legal Terms grant explicit permission, no part of the Services—including Content and Marks—may be copied, reproduced, aggregated, republished, uploaded, posted, publicly displayed, transmitted, distributed, sold, licensed, or otherwise used for commercial purposes without our express written consent.

If you wish to use the Services, Content, or Marks in ways not permitted by these Legal Terms, please send your request to [your contact email address]. If we grant specific permission, you must include our ownership notice (or that of our licensors) on any reproduction or display, as applicable.

We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you regarding the Services, Content, and Marks. Any unauthorized use of our intellectual property constitutes a material breach of these Legal Terms and will result in the immediate termination of your right to use the Services.

Your submissions and contributions

Submissions: By sending us questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, or other information about the Services (collectively, “Submissions”), you assign to us all intellectual property rights in these Submissions. We may use or distribute Submissions for any legal purpose without acknowledgment or payment to you.
Contributions: The Services may allow you to submit, post, publish, or transmit various forms of content (“Contributions”). Contributions can include text, images, videos, audio, reviews, or other materials. You understand that any publicly posted Submission is considered a Contribution and may be visible to other users or to third parties.

When you post or upload Contributions, you grant us an unrestricted, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable license to use, copy, reproduce, sell, resell, publish, display, distribute, and prepare derivative works of those Contributions for commercial or other purposes. This includes the right to use your name, trademark, or logo if provided in your Contributions.
