By registering with Appatar, you understand that we may send you communications or data from Appatar regarding the Services, including but not limited to (i) notices about your use of the Services, including any notices concerning violations of use, (ii) updates, and (iii) promotional information and materials regarding Appatar’s products and services, via electronic mail. We give you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving electronic mail from us by following the opt-out instructions provided in the message.

D. User Conduct/Acceptable Use Policy.

Unauthorized use of the Appatar service, or the resale of said service without our prior written consent, is expressly prohibited. You shall not copy, sell, transfer, distribute, publish, or assign your license to our services in any format to any third party. In addition, you may not use the Services in any way that violates applicable federal, state, or international law, or for any unlawful purpose. Further, you may not use the Services to send, receive, or download messages or materials that are inappropriate or violate the intellectual property rights of Appatar or others.

To the extent that the Services provide Users an opportunity to store and exchange information, materials, data, files, programs, ideas and opinions (“User Content”), you hereby represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights in and to all User Content you provide and all information contained therein. By registering to use the Services, you understand and acknowledge that Appatar and its contractors retain an irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, copy, and publicly display such content for the sole purpose of providing to you the Services for which you have registered. In the event that you give Appatar the right to distribute your content, additional terms may apply to Appatar's usage or distribution of this content. You continue to retain all ownership rights in any User Content you provide and shall remain solely responsible for your conduct, your User Content, and any material or information transmitted to other Users for interaction with other Users. Appatar does not claim any ownership rights in any User Content.

Content posted by Users and other non-Appatar contributors are generally not reviewed by Appatar. Appatar shall have the right, but not the obligation, to reject, refuse to post, or otherwise monitor all content displayed by users, and may remove or require users to remove all content that Appatar, in its sole discretion, deems to be (a) inconsistent with Appatar’s strategic mission and vision (including but not limited to content that contains undesirable images of or links or references to tobacco and alcohol products, profanity, pornography, violence or prejudicial content) and/or these Terms of Use; or (b) possibly in violation of applicable law. In addition, Appatar has the right to remove any content if Appatar has reason to believe that displaying such content may infringe the rights of a third party or subject Appatar to expense or liability. Please notify us by ticket submission from our help page regarding any content that you believe might violate applicable law or your intellectual property rights or contain undesirable images of or links or references to tobacco and alcohol products, profanity, pornography, violence, prejudicial content, or content that is obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable. Appatar reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine whether and what action to take in response to each such notification, and any action or inaction in a particular instance shall not dictate or limit Appatar’s response to a future complaint. You acknowledge and agree that Appatar shall not assume or have any liability for any action or inaction by Appatar with respect to any User Content.

Appatar reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to deactivate and/or require a change of name for any user Vanity URL for any reason or for no reason. Appatar may exercise such right at any time, with or without prior notice. Upon receipt of notice from Appatar of its decision, subscriber will immediately provide Appatar with a replacement name for the Vanity URL acceptable to Appatar, or the Vanity URL will be canceled. Without limiting the generality of Appatar's discretion, among the reasons Appatar may determine a Vanity URL is unacceptable are abuse of the feature, violation of any of these terms of service, infringement or potential infringement on third party intellectual property rights such as trademark or copyright, misrepresentation, or failure to pay pursuant to the terms of any service agreement.
