Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms:
Readyforce, Inc. (“Readyforce” or “us” or “we”) welcomes you to our website Readyforce.com and related sub-domains. We provide information about our products and services, and other features and services, through these websites and any other medium or device now known or hereafter developed (which, along with the websites, are referred to in this document as the “Service”).

By using or accessing any part of the Service, you are agreeing to these Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy (which may be found at http://www.readyforce.com/privacy) and all other policies or notices posted by us on our websites.

If you don’t agree to these Terms of Service, don’t use the Service. We can change these Terms of Service at any time without any notice to you. It is your responsibility to review these Terms of Service from time to time for any changes as it creates a binding legal agreement between you and Readyforce. If you use the Service after we’ve changed any of the Terms of Service, you are agreeing to all of the changes. Again, if you do not agree, don’t use the Service.

2. Permission to Use the Service
You have our permission to use the Service, but only if:

• you are over 13 years old;
• you are using the Service for your own personal use and not for commercial purposes;
• you do not copy the Service or any part of the Service;
• you do not modify the Service or any part of the Service;
• you comply with all applicable laws with respect to your use of the Service; and
• you follow all the rules and restrictions we’ve spelled out in these Terms of Service.

3. Accounts; Passwords; Security
You may need to set up an account in order to use some of the features of the Service. You may not use someone else’s account without permission. When you are setting up your account, you must give us accurate and complete information. This means that you cannot set up an account using someone else’s name or contact information, or a phony name or phony contact information. You have complete responsibility for your account and everything that happens on your account. This means you need to be careful with your password. If you find out that someone is using your account without your permission, you must let us know immediately. You may not transfer your account to someone else. We are not liable for any damages or losses caused by someone using your account without your permission. However, if we (or anyone else) suffer any damage due to the unauthorized use of your account, you may be liable.

4. Personal Use Only
We are making the Service available to you for your information and personal use only. You may not (and you agree not to) use, copy, distribute, transmit, broadcast, sell, or do anything else with the Service for any other purpose.

5. User Content
You are solely responsible for any User Content you post to the Service, and the consequences of posting or publishing it. By “User Content”, we mean any Content you post to the Service. “Content” means information, data, text, software, music, sound, photos, graphics, videos, messages, tags, interactive features, or any other materials. When we say “post”, we include posting, uploading, sharing, submitting or otherwise providing User Content in any manner in connection with the Service.

6. Restrictions on User Content and Your Conduct
You may not:

• use our Service for any illegal purpose;
• submit User Content that you don’t have the right to submit, unless you have the owner’s permission; this includes material covered by someone else’s copyright, patent, trade secret, privacy, publicity, or any other proprietary right;
• forge headers or manipulate other identifiers in order to disguise the origin of any User Content you submit;
• submit any User Content that contains lies, falsehoods or misrepresentations that could damage us or anyone else;
• submit User Content that is illegal, obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening, pornographic, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, violate any law, or is otherwise inappropriate;
• transmit any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, junk mail, spam, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or any other form of solicitation;
• impersonate anyone else or lie about your affiliation with another person or entity;
• use meta tags or any other “hidden text” utilizing any of our or our suppliers’ product names or trademarks;
• upload, launch, post, email or transmit any material (including any bot, worm, scripting exploit or computer virus) that is likely to harm or corrupt our Service, or harm or corrupt our or anyone else’s computer systems, or data;
• use our Service to harm minors in any way, including posting User Content that violates child pornography laws, child sexual exploitation laws, or any other laws protecting children;
• collect or gather other people’s personal information (including account information) from our Service;
• submit User Content which disparages us or our partners, vendor or affiliates; or
• solicit, for commercial purposes, any users of our Service.

We have the sole right, but not necessarily the obligation, without notice to you to edit, modify or delete at any time any User Content that violates these rules or that we believe to be inappropriate for any reason.

7. Intellectual Property Rights in User Content
If you post User Content, you are making a guarantee to us that you either own all the User Content you are posting, or you have the right to post the User Content and the User Content does not infringe any other party’s intellectual property or other rights and does not violate any of the results in Section 6 above. Furthermore, you are guaranteeing that you have the right to allow us to make your User Content available for others to view and use as part of the Service without requiring that any such use be subject to additional obligations or terms. If you do not have these rights, do not post the User Content. By posting your User Content, you do not lose any ownership rights you may have to it. However, you do grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully-paid, sublicenseable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, edit, modify, display, and perform your User Content in connection with the Service and our business, in any media formats or in tangible form and through any media channels now known or hereinafter developed. You also grant each user of the Service a non-exclusive royalty-free, fully-paid, sublicenseable and transferable license to access your User Content through the Service, and to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, edit, modify, display and perform your User Content as permitted through the functionality of the Service and under these Terms of Service.

8. User Content you Share becomes Public
You understand that once you post User Content, your content becomes public. We are not responsible for keeping any User Content confidential. So, if you don’t want the whole world to see it, don’t post it on the Service.

9. We Are Not Responsible for User Content
We generally do not review any of the User Content posted by our users. We do not endorse any User Content or support any views, opinions, recommendations, or advice that may be in user submissions. User Content comes from a variety of sources, and we make no promises about the reliability of any source or the accuracy, usefulness, safety, or intellectual property rights of any user submission. You may be offended by User Content that you see on the Service. You may find some of it to be inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable. However, you agree not to hold us responsible in any way for your use of our Service, including your exposure to User Content.

10. Proprietary Rights
Readyforce and its suppliers retain all right, title and interest (including all copyright, trade secret, patent and other rights) in and to the Service and Content which is included in the Service (other than User Content). If you give feedback on the Service, for example recommendations for improvements or features, implementation of that feedback is owned by us and may becomes part of the Service without compensation to you. We reserve all rights in and to the Service unless we expressly state otherwise. The Service contains proprietary and confidential information that is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws.

You may not decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or otherwise reduce the Service to a human-perceivable form, except and only to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law, and in that case, only if you notify us in writing in advance. You may not copy, frameset, enclose or otherwise distribute any part of the Service.

All brand, product and service names used in the Service which identify Readyforce or our suppliers and our or their proprietary products and services are the trademarks or service marks of Readyforce or our suppliers. Nothing in this Service shall be deemed to confer on any person any license or right on the part of Readyforce or such supplier with respect to any such image, logo or name.

You agree not to disable, interfere, or try to get around any of the features of the Service related to security, preventing or restricting use or copying of any Content, or enforcing the limits on the use of the Service or the Content on the Service.

11. Enforcement of Copyrights
We respect the intellectual property rights of others. You may not use our Service to infringe anyone else’s copyright or other intellectual property right. If we find out that you are infringing, we will remove your User Content. We do not have to give you notice that we are removing your User Content. We may also terminate your account if we decide that you are a repeat infringer. We consider a repeat infringer to be a user who has been notified of infringing activity more than twice or who has had User Content removed from our Service more than twice.

12. Notify Us of Infringers

14. Storage and Availability
We are not a content-archiving service. We do not promise to store or make available on our Service any User Content that you submit, or any other Content, for any length of time. You are solely responsible for keeping back-ups of everything you post on our Service.

You acknowledge that temporary interruptions in the availability of the Service may occur from time to time as normal events.

Any offer for sale or purchase of such Products is subject to the terms of sale and warranty (if any) provisions of the vendor offering the particular Product through our Service (including through any shopping cart for the particular Product). We are not responsible for any such transactions or Products unless we are the vendor, in which case the terms of purchase we have posted for that Product shall apply.

16. Links to Other Sites
Our Service may contain links to other websites that we don’t own or control. We are not responsible for any of these other websites. You will not hold us responsible for any aspect of these other websites, including their content, privacy policies, or anything else. You may be exposed to things on other websites that you don’t like or that you find offensive. We are not responsible for this, either. You must use your own discretion when you go to other websites. You should also read the terms and conditions and privacy policies of these other websites.

17. Warranty Disclaimer
USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE SERVICE AND ALL PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED ON A “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.

18. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER LAW, READYFORCE AND ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS AND PARTNERS HAVE NO OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE) FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY LOSS OF DATA, REVENUE OR PROFIT) ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR ANY CONTENT PROVIDED BY OR THROUGH THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, READYFORCE'S LIABILITY AND THE LIABILITY OF EACH OF ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, INVESTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVERTISERS, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, SERVICE PROVIDERS AND OTHER CONTRACTORS TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTIES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE IS LIMITED TO A MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF $100.

19. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Readyforce and its affiliates, suppliers, partners, officers, agents, and employees from and against any claim, demand, losses, damages or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from any User Content, your use of the Service, your connection to the Service, your violation of these Terms of Service or your violation of any rights of any third-party. Your indemnification obligation will survive the termination of these Terms of Service and your use of the Service.

20. Termination and Suspension
We may terminate or suspend the Service or any part of the Service, terminate or suspend or your use of the Service, block any IP address, or remove any of your User Content at any time without cause without any liability to you.

Further, we may terminate or suspend your permission to use the Service immediately and without notice upon any violation of these Terms of Service, your failure to pay any fees when due, upon the request of law enforcement or government agencies, for extended periods of inactivity, for unexpected technical issues or problems or for engagement by you in fraudulent or illegal activities. If we terminate your use of the Service for any of these reasons or otherwise for cause, we will not refund any fees you may have paid, whether for access to the Service or for Products (if applicable).

Upon any termination we may delete your account, passwords and User Content and we may bar you from further use of the Service. You understand that we may also continue to make your User Content available on the Service even if your use of the Service is terminated or suspended. You agree that we will have no liability to you or any third party for termination of your account, User Content or access to the Service.

21. Export Control
You may not use, export or re-export any Content or any copy or adaptation of such Content, or any product or service offered on the Service, in violation of any applicable laws or regulations, including, without limitation, United States export laws and regulations.

22. Additional Terms
Portions of the Service may be accompanied by additional terms which apply to specific features or areas of the Service. Those additional terms supplement these terms with respect to your use of those features or areas.

23. General Terms
These Terms of Service are governed by laws of the state of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The sole jurisdiction and venue for any claim arising from the Service and these Terms of Service shall be the state and federal courts located in Santa Clara, California and each party hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts. These Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy and any other legal notices we have published on the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding this Service. If a court having proper authority decides that any portion of these Terms of Service is invalid, only the part that is invalid will not apply. The rest of these Terms of Service will still be in effect. If we waive any of our rights under these Terms and Conditions in any particular instance, it does not mean that we are waiving our rights generally or in the future. Furthermore, just because we may not enforce all our rights all of the time, it does not mean that we are waiving our rights. We may decide to enforce them at a later date. These Terms of Service, and any rights and licenses granted under these Terms of Service, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by us without restriction.

YOU AGREE THAT if you want to sue us, you must file your lawsuit within ONE year after the event that gave rise to your lawsuit. OTHERWISE, your lawsuit will be PERMANENTLY BARRED.
