Terms of Service

Please read these terms of use carefully (“Terms”). These Terms govern and apply to your access and use of www.keptme.com and KeptMe’s web services available via the KeptMe site and KeptMe mobile apps (collectively, the ”Service”). By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound all of the terms and conditions described in these Terms. If you do not agree to all of these terms and conditions, do not use our Service.

Use of the Service

KeptMe allows you to access, view and share stories with others through our mobile and web-based apps and our site (each an “App”). As long as you comply with these Terms, you have the right to download and install a copy of the App to your mobile device, and to access and use the Service, for your own personal use. You may not: (i) copy, modify or distribute the App for any purpose; (ii) transfer, sublicense, lease, lend, rent or otherwise distribute the App or the Service to any third party; (iii) decompile, reverse-engineer, disassemble, or create derivative works of the App or the Service; (iv) make the functionality of the App or the Service available to multiple users through any means; or (v) use the Service in any unlawful manner, for any unlawful purpose, or in any manner inconsistent with these Terms.

The following terms apply to any App accessed through or downloaded from any app store or distribution platform (like the Apple App Store or Google Play) where the App is made available (each an “App Provider”). You acknowledge and agree that:

These Terms are concluded between you and KeptMe, and not with the App Provider, and that KeptMe (not the App Provider), is solely responsible for the App.

The App Provider has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.

The App Provider is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third party relating to the App or your possession and use of the App, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.

In the event of any third party claim that the App or your possession and use of that App infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, KeptMe will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by these Terms.

The App Provider, and its subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of these Terms as related to your license of the App, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of these Terms, the App Provider will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms as related to your license of the App against you as a third party beneficiary thereof.

You must also comply with all applicable third party terms of service when using the App.

Changes in these Terms are almost certain to happen, due to changes in our Service and the laws that apply to us and you. If we make a change, we’ll do our best to provide you with advance notice, although in some situations, such as where a change is required to satisfy applicable legal requirements, an update to these Terms may need to be effective immediately. We’ll announce changes here at our site, and we also may elect to notify you of changes by sending an email to the address you have provided to us. We will also try to explain the reasons for the change.

If we do update these Terms, you are free to decide whether to accept the terms or to stop using our Service (see “How is My Account Closed” below); your continued use of the Service after the effectiveness of that update will be deemed to represent your agreement with, and consent to be bound by, the new Terms. Except for changes made by us as described here, no other amendment or modification of these Terms shall be effective unless set forth in a written agreement bearing a written signature by you and us. For clarity, email or other communications will not constitute an effective written agreement for this purpose.

Creating a KeptMe Account

In order to access and use KeptMe, you will need to have an account (your “Account”). By creating an Account, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. When creating an Account, you may be required to provide certain personal information about yourself and will establish a username and a password. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information about your Account.

When creating an Account, don’t:

provide any false personal information to us (including a false username) or create any account for anyone other than yourself without such other person’s permission;

use a username that is the name of another person with the intent to impersonate that person;

use a username that is subject to rights of another person without appropriate authorization; or

use a username that is offensive, vulgar or obscene or otherwise in bad taste.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Account if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, false or misleading or to reclaim any username that you create through the Service that violates our Terms. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and Account, and agree to notify us if your password is lost, stolen, or disclosed to an unauthorized third party, or otherwise may have been compromised. You are responsible for activities that occur under your Account.

You can link your Account to various webmail, social networking, and other online accounts. You may only link your own accounts. We will access and retrieve your account information from these sites on your behalf (in some cases, by using your username and password) to make certain information or services available to you through the Service. By linking your other accounts, you expressly authorize us to access your account information from those third party accounts, on your behalf as your agent and permit us to access, use and, in some cases, store your account information to accomplish the foregoing.

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information on how we collect, use and disclose information from our users.

Content Submissions

Our Service allows you and other users to post, link, store, share and otherwise make available certain information, images, videos, text and/or other content (“Content”). You are responsible for the Content that you post to the Service, including its legality, reliability, and appropriateness. In the case that you capture Content on behalf of a minor or enable the use of KeptMe by a minor, you are responsible to obtain the necessary parental or guardian consent or other permissions required under applicable laws prior to enabling such access or contributing such content to KeptMe.

In order to enable KeptMe to operate the Service, we must obtain from you certain license and other rights to the Content you submit so that our processing, maintenance, storage, technical reproduction, back-up and distribution and related handling of your Content doesn’t infringe applicable copyright and other laws. This means that by using the Service and uploading Content, you grant KeptMe a license to display, perform and distribute your Content and to modify (for technical purposes, e.g., making sure content is viewable on smart phones as well as computers and other devices) and reproduce such Content to enable KeptMe to operate the Service. You also agree that KeptMe has the right to elect not to accept, post, store, display, publish or transmit any Content in our sole discretion.

You agree that these rights and licenses are royalty free, irrevocable and worldwide (for so long as your Content is stored with us), and include a right for KeptMe to make such Content available to, and pass these rights along to, others with whom KeptMe has contractual relationships related to the provision of the KeptMe Service, solely for the purpose of providing such services, and to otherwise permit access to or disclose your Content to third parties if KeptMe determines such access is necessary to comply with its legal obligations.

You represent and warrant that: (i) the Content is yours (you own it) or you have the right to use it and grant us the rights and license as provided in these Terms, and (ii) the posting of your Content on or through the Service does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights or any other rights of any person.

You can remove Content that you posted by specifically deleting it. In certain instances, however, some Content (such as posts or comments you make) may not be completely removed and copies of your Content may continue to exist on the Service and/or elsewhere.

Inasmuch as we rely upon your rights to upload and distribute your Content, you represent and warrant to KeptMe that you have the unfettered legal rights and authority to submit your Content to KeptMe, to grant the rights granted to KeptMe under these Terms and to make any publication or other distribution of that Content in your use of the Service. You also represent to us that, by submitting Content to KeptMe and granting KeptMe the rights described in these Terms, you are not infringing the rights of any person or third party.

The speed of the synchronisation process (which will result in a delay between when your observations are collected and when they appear to other KeptMe users) may vary from device to device, and may be affected by a variety of factors, such as your location, the stability of your internet connection, your upload speeds and the number of devices sharing the same connection. The minimum upload speed for services is 1.0 Mbps; however, we recommend a faster connection for improved synchronisation times. An upload speed of 2.5 Mbps is recommended by KeptMe.

You are responsible for all Internet access charges. Please check with your Internet provider for information on possible Internet data usage charges.

Finally, you understand and agree that KeptMe, in performing the required technical steps to provide the Service to our users, may make such changes to your Content as are necessary to conform and adapt that Content to the technical requirements of connecting networks, devices, services or media.

We ask that you respect our on-line community and other users when posting Content and using the Service. When submitting Content to or otherwise using the Service, you agree not to:

submit material that violates a third party’s proprietary rights, including privacy and publicity rights, or that otherwise violates any applicable law;
publish falsehoods or misrepresentations that could damage us, our users or any third party;
publish any private information of someone, like their address, phone number, email address, and similar information without their permission;
submit material that is unlawful, 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;
post advertisements;
mpersonate another person or represent yourself as affiliated with us, our staff or other industry professionals;
solicit a user’s password or other account information; or
harvest user names, addresses, or email addresses for any purpose.
This list is an example and is not intended to be complete or exclusive. We don’t have an obligation to monitor your access to or use of the Service or to review or edit any Content, but we have the right to do so for the purpose of operating the Service, to ensure your compliance with these Terms, or to comply with applicable law or the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency or other governmental body. We reserve the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Content, that we consider, in our sole discretion, to be in violation of these Terms or otherwise harmful to the Service.

We do not permit copyright infringing activities and infringement of intellectual property rights on the Service and will remove any such Content if properly notified that such Content infringes on another‚Äôs intellectual property rights.
