You agree to pay for the services you select using the Service. You also agree to pay for Other Charges as they accrue. You agree that VivioSites may charge your selected payment method, such as a credit card, either directly or through the services of a third-party payment processor.

Pre-Authorization

When you provide a credit card number to pay for a subscription on the Service, we, through our third-party payment processor, may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to a purchase. This pre-authorization will verify the credit card is valid and/or has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your required payment. These pre-authorizations will reduce your available balance by the authorization amount until it is released or reconciled with the actual charge. Please contact your card issuer if you have additional questions regarding when an authorization amount will be removed from your statement.

We use third-party payment processors, and you agree to pay any fees associated with such payment processing. We do not guarantee any particular form of payment will be available to make a payment.

Third-Party Payment Processors

VivioSites currently uses third-party payment processors for electronic commerce. Our payment processors and the payment methods they accept may change without notice. Our third-party e-commerce payment processor accepts payments through methods detailed on the applicable payment screen, which may include various credit cards. By using such third-party payment processors, you agree to their terms and conditions of use. Such third parties may charge fees to process payments. We may pay certain fees at our sole discretion. VivioSites disclaims all liability with regards to any fees or problems you have with third-party payment processors.

Waiver

By posting Your User Content to or through the Service you waive any and all rights of privacy, publicity, or any other rights of a similar nature in connection with Your User Content, or any portion thereof. To the extent any moral rights are not transferable or assignable, you hereby waive and agree never to assert any and all moral rights, or to support, maintain or permit any action based on any moral rights that you may have in or with respect to any of Your User Content you post to or through the Service, during the term of these Terms. You expressly release VivioSites and VivioSites’ agents, partners, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensees, successors, and assigns from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, or causes of action, whether now known or unknown, for defamation, copyright infringement, violation of moral rights, and invasion of the rights to privacy, publicity, or personality or any similar matter, or based upon or relating to the posting of Your User Content as authorized in these Terms.

You Must Have Rights to the Content You Post

You represent and warrant that: (i) you own the content posted by you on or through the Service or otherwise have the right to grant the license set forth in these Terms, (ii) the posting and use of Your User Content on or through the Service does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights, intellectual property rights, or any other rights of any person, and (iii) the posting of Your User Content on the Service does not result in a breach of contract between you and a third party. You agree to pay for all royalties, fees, and any other monies owing any person by reason of content you post on or through the Service.

The Service contains content from users and other VivioSites licensors. Except as provided within these Terms, you may not copy, modify, translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform, display, or sell any content appearing on or through the Service.

Copyright Policy

Tell us if you think a user has violated your copyright using the Service, or if you think someone incorrectly reported that you violated his or her copyright.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials posted on the Service infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a “Notification of Claimed Infringement” requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the works that have been allegedly infringed;
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work alleged to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Service are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works);
  3. Identification of the specific material alleged to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate the material on the Service;
  4. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address (if available);
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

We may terminate the accounts and/or prevent content posting of users who repeatedly infringe copyright holders’ copyrights. A “repeat infringer” is a user who, on more than two occasions, has been determined by final order of a United States court to have infringed the copyright rights of a third party by providing infringing content through the Service.

If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice.

Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ for details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Service should be sent to VivioSites, Attn: Copyright Agent, 710 Everest Road, Milton, VT 05468 or info@viviosites.com. Consult your legal advisor and see 17 U.S.C. § 512 before filing a notice or counter-notice as there are penalties for false claims under the DMCA.

Suggestions and Submissions

We appreciate your comments, but if you send us creative ideas, we can use them without compensating you.

We appreciate hearing from our users and welcome your comments regarding the Service. Please be advised, however, that if you send us creative ideas, suggestions, inventions, or materials (“creative ideas”), we shall:

  1. own, exclusively, all now known or later discovered rights to the creative ideas;
  2. not be subject to any obligation of confidentiality and shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of any creative ideas; and
  3. be entitled to unrestricted use of the creative ideas for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to you or any other person.

We shall provide notice to you promptly of any such claim, suit, or proceeding.

General Terms

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and VivioSites concerning your use of the Service. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect. The section titles and annotations in these Terms and Privacy Policy are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” means “including without limitation.” Upon termination of these Terms, all provisions survive except the provisions granting you a license to use the Service. When these Terms terminate, so does your license to use the Service.

All notices with respect to intended or existing litigation shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or sent via receipted private courier or by United States Postal Service certified or registered mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, to the address at the bottom of these Terms, or to such other address as a party may notify the other party in writing. Any such notice shall be deemed to be properly given (i) if delivered personally, upon written acknowledgment of receipt after delivery to the address specified; or (ii) if sent by courier or posted, the earlier of the actual date of delivery or three (3) days from the date posted.

Arbitration, Class Waiver, and Waiver of Jury Trial

All disputes must be resolved in New Jersey. We will use arbitration to resolve any problems, and you cannot join a class action lawsuit or obtain a jury trial for any disputes you have with us related to your use of the Service.

These Terms and the relationship between you and VivioSites shall be governed by the laws of the state of New Jersey without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and VivioSites agree to submit to the personal and exclusive arbitration of any disputes relating to your use of the Service under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Any such arbitration, to the extent necessary, shall be conducted in Monmouth county in the state of New Jersey. You covenant not to sue VivioSites in any other forum.

You also acknowledge and understand that, with respect to any dispute with the Released Parties arising out of or relating to your use of the Service or these Terms:

  • YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY;
  • YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS, IN ANY LAWSUIT INVOLVING ANY SUCH DISPUTE; AND
  • YOU MUST FILE ANY CLAIM WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM AROSE OR IT IS FOREVER BARRED.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THIS SECTION WILL NOT PREVENT EITHER YOU OR VIVIOSITES FROM SEEKING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF FROM ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE PARTIES AND THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THEIR DISPUTE. You acknowledge that, in the event of a breach of these Terms by VivioSites or any third party, the damage or harm, if any, caused to you will not entitle you to seek injunctive or other equitable relief against VivioSites, and your only remedy will be for monetary damages, subject to the limitations of liability set forth above.
