CINCH TERMS OF USE

At Cinch, LLC (“Cinch”), we have adopted these Terms of Use for our current and future online and mobile websites, platforms, services, applications, and networks owned or operated by Cinch, including without limitation, cinch.io and/or any other site, application or technology for which Cinch currently or in the future provides services (the “Site” or “Sites”). Please take the time to read the full Terms of Use. You accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use when you use any of the Sites, including without limitation, when you view, post, or access content or videos on any of the Sites.  If you do not agree to these Terms of Use you should not access or use the Sites.  Your breach of any obligations under these Terms of Use may result in immediate suspension or termination of your access to the Site. 

  1. General Rules.
    • Governing Terms. These Terms of Use, along with any additional terms and conditions that are referenced herein or that are presented elsewhere on our Sites in relation to a specific service or feature (collectively, “Terms of Use”) and the Cinch Privacy Policy, set forth the terms and conditions that apply to your use of www.cinch.io and its related Sites. Cinch may terminate or suspend these Terms of Use at any time without notice to you. Without limiting the foregoing, Cinch shall have the right to immediately terminate Your Account in the event of any conduct by you that Cinch, in its sole discretion, considers to be unacceptable, or in the event of any breach by you of these Terms of Use. The material provisions of these Terms of Use shall survive termination of these Terms of Use.
    • Changes to Terms of Use. Cinch may modify the Terms of Use, or any part thereof, or add, change, or remove terms at any time, and such additions, changes, deletions, or other modifications are effective immediately upon posting. Your use of the Site after such posting shall be deemed to constitute acceptance by you of such additions, changes, deletions, or other modifications.
    • Changes to Site. Cinch may change or discontinue any aspect, service or feature of the Site at any time, including, but not limited to, content, hours of availability, and equipment needed for access or use.
    • Equipment. You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all connectivity, computer software, hardware and other equipment needed for access to and use of the Site and all charges related to the same.
  2. Cinch Content; Trademarks; Copyrights; Other Intellectual Property.
    • Property of Cinch. Except as explicitly provided in these Terms of Use, nothing herein shall be construed as granting or conferring on you any license or right, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, under any law (whether common law or statutory), rule or regulation, including, without limitation, those related to copyright or other intellectual property rights. You acknowledge and agree that title, ownership and all rights (including intellectual property rights) in and to the content of, and materials published on, the Sites are and shall remain the property of Cinch (or such other third party that may have granted Cinch rights in such content).
    • All of Cinch’s trademarks, service marks, and trade names, and the goodwill associated therewith shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Cinch and, except as otherwise explicitly provided in these Terms of Use, may not be used by you without the express prior written consent of Cinch.
    • All content published, provided, and distributed by Cinch are protected by copyright pursuant to U.S. and international copyright laws. Except as explicitly provided in these Terms of Use or with the express prior written consent of Cinch (which may be granted or withheld in Cinch’s sole and absolute discretion), you may not modify, publish, republish, transmit, retransmit, reproduce, participate in the transfer or sale of, reproduce, create new works from, distribute, perform, display, or in any way exploit or otherwise use, any of the content of the Sites, including any images contained in the content of the Sites, including but not limited to downloading or using content as stand-alone files, software or other computer-readable or computer-executable code, in whole or in part (collectively, the “Use Restrictions”). To the extent any action or use constituting a violation of the Use Restrictions is otherwise explicitly permitted or authorized pursuant to these Terms of Use, such authorization is not intended to and shall not vest in you any ownership interests or other rights of any kind beyond those expressly granted herein. Unauthorized use of the Site, including usage of the Site in violation of the Use Restrictions, shall be a material breach of these Terms of Use and may subject you to legal action. You agree to abide by any and all additional copyright notices or restrictions contained in any content accessed via the Site.
    • Digital Millennium Copyright Act Notice. 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 have a good faith belief that materials hosted by Cinch infringe your copyright, you (or your authorized representative) may send Cinch a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly being infringed upon; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed upon (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow Cinch to locate the material on the site; (d) the name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has 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 (f) 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. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed with Cinch against you, the DMCA permits you to send Cinch a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.copyright.gov for details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Website should be sent to Cinch, LLC, Attn: Legal Department and the owner of the Web site through which you may have requested the Company’s services (the “Client”). Cinch suggests that users consult their legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA. It is Cinch’s policy to terminate relationships regarding content with third parties who repeatedly infringe the copyrights of others.
  3. User Content and Use of Sites.
    • Interactive Site Areas. The Site may contain comments sections, discussion forums or threads, or other social media and interactive features (collectively “Interactive Areas”) in which you may post, publish, link, or upload user-generated content, including but not limited to comments, video, photos, messages, other materials or items (collectively, “User Content”). You are solely responsible for your use of any Interactive Areas and you use them at your own risk. Through your use of Interactive Areas, you may be exposed to content that you may find offensive, objectionable, harmful, inaccurate or deceptive. There may also be risks of dealing with underage persons, people acting under false pretense, or other unwanted interactions. By using Interactive Areas, you assume all associated risks.

Interactive Areas are available for individuals aged 18 years or older. By submitting User Content to an Interactive Area, you represent that you are 18 years of age or older or, if you are under the age of 18, that you either are an emancipated minor, or have obtained the legal consent of your parent or legal guardian to enter into these Terms of Use, submit content, view content, interact on the Site, and are able to comply with the Terms of Use, which forms a binding contract between you and Cinch.   

You understand and agree that with respect to any User Content, Cinch and the Site act merely as a passive conduit for any and all communication and/or distribution of information, and Cinch does not control the User Content. Cinch cannot and will not evaluate, and shall not be responsible for, the accuracy, reliability, completeness, veracity or suitability of any User Content or for verifying the identity of anyone posting, publishing, or uploading User Content.

While Cinch will endeavor to monitor User Content, and flag and/or remove User Content which Cinch finds unsuitable (as determined in its sole and absolute discretion), Cinch shall be under no obligation to do so and shall have no liability to any individual or entity for failure to monitor or remove any User Content. Prior to being granted access to post, publish, link, or upload User Content, individuals may be required to input or provide certain data or information, including but not limited to their name, email address, or other identifying information which may be displayed in connection with their User Content.

Cinch may, in its sole discretion, to remove, edit, or otherwise alter User Content.  Cinch retains and reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to discontinue, freeze, remove, terminate, or otherwise restrict Your Account or User Content for any reason whatsoever.

  • User Rules of Conduct. By submitting any User Content or participating in an Interactive Area within or in connection with the Site, you agree  not to engage in activity or submit or upload content that (i) would constitute a violation of any applicable local, state, federal, or other law that may constitute a criminal offense or give rise to civil liability; (ii) contains any information, data, or materials which contain a virus or other harmful or disruptive component; (iii) is confidential, proprietary, false, fraudulent, libelous, defamatory, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, obscene, lewd, violent, sexually explicit, threatening, abusive, illegal, or otherwise objectionable; (iv) infringes on another’s intellectual property rights; or (v) contains any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising or promotional materials with respect to products or services, “junk mail,” “spam,” or any other solicitation.
  • License Granted to Cinch to User Content. By submitting User Content to the Site, you automatically grant Cinch and any of its subsidiary and/or parent companies, the royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive right and license, but not the obligation, to use, publish, reproduce, modify, adapt, edit, translate, create derivative works from, incorporate into other works, link, distribute, sub-license and otherwise exploit such User Content (in whole or in part) worldwide in any form, media or technology now known or hereafter developed for the full term of any copyright that may exist in such User Content, without payment to you or to any third parties. You further grant Cinch the right, but not the obligation, to pursue at law any person or entity that violates your or Cinch’s rights in the User Content by a breach of these Terms of Use.
  1. Third Party Sites. Certain aspects of, or links contained on, the Site may link to websites, social media, or services operated by parties other than, and unaffiliated with, Cinch. Such links are provided for convenience only. Cinch does not control such third-party websites or social media and is not responsible for any content thereon, including with respect to any comments posted on such third-party websites or social media. Cinch’s inclusion of links to such third-party websites and/or social media does not amount to or imply any endorsement or warranty of the material on such sites or media or any association with their owners or operators. You agree that Cinch is not responsible for any such third-party websites or social media and services or any content thereon and agree to hold Cinch harmless from any and all claims or liability arising from your use of such third-party websites, social media, or services. Any concerns or questions related to third-party websites or social media should be directed to the webmaster or other appropriate contact person for such third party.
