Please read the following terms of use (the “Terms”) carefully which govern your use of certain features of the CrowdRiff Story Network Platform, through which users can create, discover, manage and distribute short form linear content consisting of video, audio, location, and/or text elements, as well as additional elements such as maps, directions, reviews, booking options, and other similar resources (collectively, “Stories”), and any related software (collectively, “Services”) made available by CrowdRiff Inc. (“CrowdRiff”, “we”, “us”) to you (the “Network Partner”).

IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS, YOU MUST NOT USE THE SERVICES. IF YOU ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES, YOU WILL BE ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, AND YOU WILL HAVE ACCEPTED AND AGREED TO THESE TERMS WHICH FORM A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND CROWDRIFF AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

1. Grant of License. CrowdRiff hereby grants Network Partner a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Services solely as a member of the partner network of the customer who has invited Network Partner to participate in its network (the “Network Owner”). For clarity, Network Partner’s license to access and use the Services will be subject at all times to the discretion of the Network Owner and will be limited to those features set out in the applicable SaaS Order between CrowdRiff and the Network Owner. Without limiting any other rights or remedies CrowdRiff may have, such license may be suspended or terminated at any time upon request of the Network Owner.

2. Restrictions. Network Partner shall use the Services solely as contemplated in these Terms and subject at all times to any and all restrictions contained in the agreement between CrowdRiff and Network Owner, as such agreement may be amended from time to time (the “Network Owner Agreement”). It is Network Partner’s responsibility to familiarize itself with the terms and conditions of the Network Owner Agreement and to comply with the terms, conditions, restrictions, disclaimers and limitations therein, all of which are deemed incorporated in these Terms by reference, mutatis mutandis. Network Partner is solely responsible for understanding the settings and controls for each of the Services and for controlling who becomes an individual authorized user of Network Partner. For clarity, all use by any authorized user will be deemed to be a direct use by Network Partner.

3. Privacy & Security. Network Partner’s personal information provided to us on registration, through contact forms, and to create CrowdRiff accounts, as well as certain other information, is subject to CrowdRiff’s Privacy Policy. In addition, please be aware that because of the insecure nature of the Internet, privacy in communications cannot be guaranteed. While reasonable commercial efforts to include security features in the Services to protect the identities and the information transmitted using the Services have been taken by CrowdRiff, the associated risks must be considered before transmitting confidential, personal or other information with the Services. CrowdRiff may at times send emails to one or more email addresses provided by Network Partner or Network Partner’s users to CrowdRiff as a part of creating a CrowdRiff account or other associated CrowdRiff services.

4. Service Limitations. CrowdRiff will not be responsible for any lost data due to server crashes or other events outside CrowdRiff’s reasonable control.

14. General. The parties are independent contractors. Neither party shall be deemed to be an employee, agent, partner, joint venturer or legal representative of the other for any purpose and neither party shall have any right, power or authority to create any obligation or responsibility on behalf of the other. Should any term or provision hereof be deemed invalid, void or unenforceable either in its entirety or in a particular application, the remainder of these Terms shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect and the invalid, void or unenforceable portion will be severed from these Terms. If CrowdRiff does not take action against all breaches of these Terms, it does not mean that it waives its right at a later time to enforce the same. Network Partner is not allowed to assign these Terms or any rights hereunder without the prior written consent of CrowdRiff. CrowdRiff is allowed at its sole discretion to assign these Terms or any rights hereunder to any third party, without giving prior notice. These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ontario, Canada without giving effect to any conflict of laws provisions that would require the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction, whether contained in Canadian law or the laws of Network Partner’s current state or country of residence. Any legal proceedings arising out of or relating to these Terms will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the province of Ontario, Canada. Each party hereby waives any right to jury trial in connection with any action or litigation in any way arising out of or related to these Terms. These Terms, together with any documents or terms incorporated herein by reference, constitute the entire agreement between Network Partner and CrowdRiff with respect to the subject matter hereof and will supersede and replace all prior understandings and agreements, in whatever form, regarding the subject matter.
