2.2 Updates and Functionalities. You acknowledge that from time to time Photerloo may apply updates to the Services and that such updates may result in changes in the appearance and/or functionality of the Services (including the addition, modification, or removal of functionality, features, or content). You acknowledge that the Services interoperate with several Supported Platforms, and that the Services provided are highly dependent on the availability of such Supported Platforms. If at any time any Supported Platforms cease to make their programs available to Photerloo on reasonable terms, Photerloo may cease to provide such features to you without entitling you to refund, credit, or other compensation.

You must not (a) make the Services available to anyone other than to your Authorized Users; (b) use the Services to store or transmit any content, including Customer Content, that may be infringing, defamatory, threatening, harmful, or otherwise tortious or unlawful, including any content that may violate intellectual property, privacy, rights of publicity, or other laws, or send spam or other unsolicited messages in violation of applicable law; (c) upload to, or transmit from, the Services any data, file, software, or link that contains or redirects to a virus, Trojan horse, worm, or other harmful component; (d) attempt to reverse engineer, de-compile, hack, disable, interfere with, disassemble, copy, or disrupt the integrity or the performance of the Services, any third-party use of the Services, or any third-party data contained therein (except to the extent such restrictions are prohibited by applicable law); (e) access the Services in order to build a competitive product or service or copy any ideas, features, functions, or graphics of the Services; (f) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or its related systems or networks; or (g) authorize, permit, or encourage any third party to do any of the above.

Mentions may be indecent, offensive, inaccurate, unlawful, or otherwise objectionable. Photerloo has no obligation to preview, verify, flag, modify, filter, or remove any Mentions, even if requested to do so, although Photerloo may do so in its sole discretion. Your use of Mentions is at your sole risk, and Photerloo shall not be liable to you or any third party in relation to Mentions.

When you access the Third-Party Services, you will do so at your own risk. These Third-Party Services may also allow you to store your Customer Content with the provider or operator of the Third-Party Services. Any use of Third-Party Services is governed solely by the terms and conditions of such Third-Party Services (and you shall comply with all such terms and conditions), and any contract entered into, or any transaction completed via any Third-Party Services, is between you and the relevant third party, and not Photerloo. Photerloo makes no representation and shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever in relation to the content or use of, or correspondence with, any such Third-Party Services or any transactions completed and any contract entered into by you with any such third party.

2.7 Non-Exclusivity. You acknowledge that the rights granted to you under this Agreement are non-exclusive and that nothing in this Agreement will be interpreted or construed to prohibit or in any way restrict Photerloo’s right to license, sell, or otherwise make available the Services to any third party or perform any services for any third party.

2.8 Beta Testing. From time to time, we may offer you the opportunity to install, use and test (the “Beta Testing”) certain of our Services prior to their commercial release (the “Beta Services”).

We are under no obligation to provide technical support with regards to the Beta Services, and we provide no assurance that any specific errors or performance issues in the Beta Services will be corrected; and

(v) the Beta Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without any warranties or conditions of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise. Use of the Beta Services is at your sole risk. In no event will we be liable to you for any damage whatsoever arising out of the use of or inability to use the Beta Services.

You may from time to time provide suggestions, comments or other feedback to Photerloo with respect to the Services (“Feedback”). Feedback, even if designated as confidential by you, shall not create any confidentiality obligation for Photerloo notwithstanding anything else.

Photerloo may also use Customer Content for the purpose of supporting and developing the Services, provided that when doing so, Photerloo shall only use Customer Content in an anonymized and aggregated way. Subject only to the limited license expressly granted herein, you and your Authorized Users shall retain all right, title and interest in and to the Customer Content and all intellectual property rights therein.

You are solely responsible for the Customer Content that you or Authorized Users upload, publish, display, link to, or otherwise make available via the Services, and you agree that Photerloo is only acting as a passive conduit for the online distribution and publication of the Customer Content and the online display of Queries and Mentions. Photerloo will not review, share, distribute, or reference any Customer Content or Mentions except as provided herein, as provided in Photerloo’s privacy policy, or as may be required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Photerloo retains the authority to remove any Customer Content uploaded that it deems in violation of this Agreement, at its sole discretion.
