Terms of Service

Elistik provides the ability for users to publish content and interact with users in proximity using beacon technology for individuals, businesses, and organizations (the “Services”) through our app. Please read carefully the following terms and conditions (“Terms of Service”) and our Privacy Policy. These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of the App and the Services and, except as otherwise provided in these Terms of Service, all text, graphics, images, music, software, URLs, audio, video, information or other materials available through the App and Services (“Content”), and constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Elistik.

Certain areas of the App (and your access to or use of certain Services or Content) may have different terms and conditions posted or may require you to agree with and accept additional terms and conditions. If there is a conflict between these Terms of Service and terms and conditions posted for a specific area of the App, Services or Content, the latter terms and conditions shall take precedence with respect to your use of or access to that area of the App, Services or Content.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, BY ACCESSING OR USING THE APP OR THE SERVICES OR BY DOWNLOADING, POSTING, BROADCASTING, OR STREAMING ANY CONTENT FROM OR ON THE APP OR THROUGH THE SERVICES, YOU ARE INDICATING THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE REGISTERED WITH THE APP. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, THEN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO ACCESS OR USE THE APP, SERVICES OR CONTENT. If you accept or agree to these Terms of Service on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to these Terms of Service and, in such event, “you” and “your” will refer and apply to that company or other legal entity.

Modification

Elistik reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify, discontinue or terminate the App or Services or to modify these Terms of Service, at any time and without prior notice. If we modify these Terms of Service, we will post the modification on the App or provide you with notice of the modification. We will also update the “Last Updated Date” at the top of these Terms of Service and/or the home page of the App. By continuing to access or use the App or the Services after we have posted a modification on the App or have provided you with notice of a modification, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms of Service. If the modified Terms of Service are not acceptable to you, your only recourse is to cease using the App and the Services.

Eligibility

The App and Services are intended solely for persons who are 18 or older. Any access to or use of the App or Services by anyone under 18 is expressly prohibited. By accessing or using the App or Services you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older.

Account Registration

In order to access certain features of the App and Services, you must register to create an account (“Account”) and become a “Member.” To become a Member you must be at least 18 years old. Any registration by anyone under 18 is void. By completing the registration process to create an Account, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older. During the registration process, you will be required to provide certain information and you will establish a username and a password. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current and complete. Elistik reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Account if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, not current or incomplete. You are responsible for safeguarding your password. You agree not to disclose your password to any third party and to take sole responsibility for any activities or actions under your Account, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. You will immediately notify Elistik of any unauthorized use of your Account.

Social Media and Networking Sites

As a Member, you have the option of granting Elistik access to your accounts with certain third-party social media and networking sites (each, an “SNS”) so that Elistik can capture and make available on the App and through the Services content that you have stored in your account(s) with such SNSs (“Member SNS Content”). By granting Elistik access to any such Member SNS Content, you understand that Elistik will access, make available and store (if applicable) such Member SNS Content so that it is available on the App and through the Services. Elistik is not responsible for any Member SNS Content stored on an SNS that you choose to make available on the App and through the Services. Depending on the SNS you choose and subject to the privacy settings you have set in your SNS account(s), personally identifiable information that you post to your SNS account(s) will be available on the App and through the Services. Please note that if an SNS account becomes unavailable or an SNS terminates Elistik’s access to your SNS account(s), any Member SNS Content from that SNS will no longer be available on the App and through the Services. You have the ability to disable the connection between the App and Services and your SNS accounts, at any time, by accessing the “Settings” section of the App. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH SNS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO ANY CONTENT THAT YOU PROVIDE TO AN SNS AND THE STORAGE OF SUCH CONTENT, IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH SNS.
