You shall comply with any codes of conduct, policies or other notices Shadowbyte provides you or publishes in connection with the Service, and you shall promptly notify Shadowbyte if you learn of a security breach related to the Service. All rights, title and interest in and to the Service and its components will remain with and belong exclusively to Shadowbyte. You are responsible for usage limits set forth in the Order Form and/or Subscription. Shadowbyte reserves the right to bill overages, cancel your subscription, or revoke access if limits are not maintained.

Any individual Software-specific terms are additive to these TOS. For use of API Service, you will access the Data solely on a transactional basis. You shall not (and shall not allow any third party to) present the Data so that it appears to be made available by any third party. Non-paid users of Shadowbyte are expressly forbidden from caching or otherwise storing the Data. Shadowbyte grants unique license to use the API solely to (i) develop, reproduce and distribute applications or implementations that interoperate with the API (each a “Your Application”), and (ii) display any Data made available by Shadowbyte through the API solely to end users via Your Application. Your end users are subject to the terms and conditions of this TOS. Shadowbyte reserves the right to adjust limit the number and/or frequency of API requests in its sole discretion.

Further, You shall not (and shall not allow any third party to): (a) transfer to or use the Data (in aggregate form or otherwise) except as expressly authorized under this Agreement or by Shadowbyte, copy, disclose, rent, lease, sell, transfer, distribute, assign, sublicense, disassemble, reverse engineer or decompile (except to the limited extent expressly authorized by applicable statutory law), modify or alter any part of the API or Data.

Subject to the terms hereof, Shadowbyte hereby grants you a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable right to display the Shadowbyte logos, trademarks and other identifiers provided by Shadowbyte (collectively, the “Shadowbyte Marks”), solely for the purposes in connection with your use of the Service and Data. Further, you will abide by any requests by Shadowbyte regarding your use of the Shadowbyte Marks if Shadowbyte determines that your use thereof does not comply with Shadowbyte’s quality control standards. All use of the Shadowbyte Marks in any jurisdiction will inure to the sole benefit of Shadowbyte.

Any commercial use of free Services is prohibited. It is your responsibility to notify Shadowbyte at sales@Shadowbyte.com if you are using any Free services for commercial use.

Any software or data that may be made available by Shadowbyte in connection with the Service (“Software”) contains proprietary and confidential information that is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws. You agree not to access the Service by any means other than through the interface that is provided by Shadowbyte for use in accessing the Service. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved and no license or right to use any trademark of Shadowbyte or any third party is granted to you in connection with the Service.

You are solely responsible for all data, information, feedback, suggestions, text, content and other materials that you upload, post, deliver, provide or otherwise transmit or store (hereafter “post(ing)”) in connection with or relating to the Service (“Your Content”). You may not claim ownership of content that: (i) was known to a receiving party without restriction before receipt from the disclosing party; (ii) is publicly available through no fault of the receiving party; (iii) is rightfully received by the receiving party from a third party without a duty of confidentiality; or, (iv) is independently developed by the receiving party without reference to Your Content.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login, password and account and for all activities that occur under your login or account. Shadowbyte reserves the right to access your account in order to respond to your requests for technical support. Shadowbyte shall also have the right to collect and analyze data and other information relating to the provision, use and performance of various aspects of the Services (including, without limitation, information concerning Your Content and data derived therefrom), and Shadowbyte shall be free (during and after the term hereof) to (i) use such information and data to develop and improve (including for diagnostic and corrective purposes) the Services and other Shadowbyte offerings, and (ii) disclose such data solely in aggregate or other de-identified form in connection with its business. Shadowbyte has the right, but not the obligation, to monitor the Service or Your Content. You further agree that Shadowbyte may remove or disable any Your Content or any Data at any time for any reason (including, but not limited to, upon receipt of claims or allegations from third parties or authorities relating to the foregoing), or for no reason at all.

Shadowbyte will make best efforts to operate using secure, stable processes. You understand that the operation of the Service may involve (a) transmissions over various networks; (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices and (c) transmission to Shadowbyte’s third party vendors and hosting partners to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to operate and maintain the Service. Accordingly, you acknowledge that you bear sole responsibility for adequate security, protection and backup of Your Content. Shadowbyte will have no liability to you for any unauthorized access or use of any of Your Content, or any corruption, deletion, destruction or loss of any of Your Content.

You shall be responsible for ensuring that such Equipment is compatible with the Services (and, to the extent applicable, the Software) and complies with all configurations and specifications set forth in Shadowbyte’s published policies then in effect. You shall also be responsible for maintaining the security of the Equipment, your Account, passwords (including but not limited to administrative and user passwords) and files, and for all uses of your Account or the Equipment with or without your knowledge or consent.

The failure of Shadowbyte to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this TOS shall not be a waiver of that right. You acknowledge that this TOS is a contract between you and Shadowbyte, even though it is electronic and is not physically signed by you and Shadowbyte, and it governs your use of the Service.

Subject to the terms hereof, Shadowbyte may (but has no obligation to) provide technical support services, through email in accordance with our standard practice.

Payment

To the extent the Service or any portion thereof is made available for any fee, you will be required to select a Subscription and/or execute an Order Form and provide Shadowbyte information regarding your credit card or other payment instrument. You represent and warrant to Shadowbyte that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. You will promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You agree to pay Shadowbyte the amount that is specified in the payment plan in accordance with the Subscription or Order Form and this TOS. You hereby authorize Shadowbyte to bill your payment instrument in advance on a periodic basis in accordance with the terms of the applicable payment plan until you terminate your account, and you further agree to pay any charges so incurred. If you dispute any charges you must let Shadowbyte know within thirty (30) days after the date that Shadowbyte invoices you. We reserve the right to change Shadowbyte’s prices. If Shadowbyte does change prices, Shadowbyte will provide notice of the change on the Site or in email to you, at Shadowbyte’s option, at least 30 days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. Shadowbyte may choose to bill through an invoice, in which case, full payment for invoices issued in any given month must be received by Shadowbyte thirty (30) days after the mailing date of the invoice, or the Services may be terminated. Unpaid invoices are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection. You shall be responsible for all taxes associated with Services other than U.S. taxes based on Shadowbyte’s net income.

Representations and Warranties

You represent and warrant to Shadowbyte that (i) you have full power and authority to enter into this TOS; (ii) you own all Your Content or have obtained all permissions, releases, rights or licenses required to engage in your posting and other activities (and allow Shadowbyte to perform its obligations) in connection with the Services without obtaining any further releases or consents; (iii) Your Content and other activities in connection with the Service, and Shadowbyte’s exercise of all rights and license granted by you herein, do not and will not violate, infringe, or misappropriate any third party’s copyright, trademark, right of privacy or publicity, or other personal or proprietary right, nor does Your Content contain any matter that is defamatory, obscene, unlawful, threatening, abusive, tortious, offensive or harassing; and (iv) you are eighteen (18) years of age or older.

Termination

You have the right to terminate your account at any time via self-service on Shadowbyte.com OR by sending a cancellation request to support@Shadowbyte.com. Subject to earlier termination as provided below, Shadowbyte may terminate your Account and this TOS at any time by providing seven (7) days prior notice to the administrative email address associated with your Account. In addition to any other remedies we may have, Shadowbyte may also terminate this TOS upon fourteen (14) days’ notice (or seven (7) days in the case of nonpayment), if you breach any of the terms or conditions of this TOS. Shadowbyte reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof). All of Your Content on the Service (if any) may be permanently deleted by Shadowbyte upon any termination of your account in its sole discretion. However, all accrued rights to payment and the terms of Section 4-12 shall survive termination of this TOS. Subscriptions will automatically renew at the end of the billing period and/or follow the specifics set forth in Order Form.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Services may be temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance or for unscheduled emergency maintenance, either by Shadowbyte or by third-party providers, or because of other causes beyond our reasonable control. HOWEVER, THE SERVICE, INCLUDING THE SITE, SERVICE, API AND ANY DATA PROVIDED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, AND ALL SERVER AND NETWORK COMPONENTS ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, AND Shadowbyte EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT Shadowbyte DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE OR VIRUS-FREE, NOR DOES IT MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE DATA OR RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE SERVICES, AND NO INFORMATION, ADVICE OR SERVICES OBTAINED BY YOU FROM Shadowbyte OR THROUGH THE SERVICE SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS TOS.

Limitation of Liability

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) SHALL Shadowbyte BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR (A) ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES OR BUSINESS, LOST CONTENT OR DATA, OR (B) FOR ANY DIRECT DAMAGES, COSTS, LOSSES OR LIABILITIES IN EXCESS OF THE FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE to YOUR CLAIM or, IF NO FEES APPLY, one hundred ($100) U.S. dollars. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THIS TOS BETWEEN THE PARTIES, AND THE PARTIES HAVE RELIED ON THESE LIMITATIONS IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO ENTER INTO THIS TOS.

Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply to you. IN THESE STATES, Shadowbyte’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Indemnification

You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Shadowbyte from and against any claims, actions or demands, including without limitation reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising or resulting from your breach of this TOS, any of Your Content, or your other access, contribution to, use or misuse of the Service. Shadowbyte shall provide notice to you of any such claim, suit or demand. Shadowbyte reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter which is subject to indemnification under this section. In such case, you agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting Shadowbyte’s defense of such matter.

Assignment

You may not assign this TOS without the prior written consent of Shadowbyte, but Shadowbyte may assign or transfer this TOS, in whole or in part, without restriction.

Miscellaneous

If any provision of this TOS is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this TOS will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. Both parties agree that this TOS, together with any Order Form and/or subscription plan, is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this TOS, and that all waivers and modifications must be in a writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of this TOS and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Shadowbyte in any respect whatsoever. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under this TOS, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees. All notices under this TOS will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or email; the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service; and upon receipt, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

Governing Law

This TOS shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the principles of conflicts of law. Unless otherwise elected by Shadowbyte in a particular instance, you hereby expressly agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts of the State of Delaware for the purpose of resolving any dispute relating to your access to or use of the Service.
