User Agreement

By using SitScape's Software or Site, you agree to comply with this Agreement.

We (SitScape, Inc.) may update, modify or change this Agreement at any time and your continued use of the Software or Site (www.sitscape.com) after we post the new Agreement means that you have accepted that new Agreement. This Agreement (and our Privacy Policy and Content Policy) constitute the entire agreement between you and us and replaces and supersedes any prior agreements. You may save, print or store a copy of this Agreement for your records.

How our Software works

When you install the SitScape Software, the SitScape's Post button and Receive button will appear in your web browser and provide you with the ability to Post -- select online Content and share the public available Meta data with your friends and others, including text, images, video, flash, iFrame and other types of information. You can add your own Tags (keyword identifiers that relate to the item) and a title to each piece of Content and save them on our servers as a SitScapePost. You may save the Post and share them with others online on the SitScapeSite or any other site. You may add Comments to Posts that you post or that others have posted and Repost other user's Posts. Popping an item increases the chances that others will see it and helps determine which Posts become Popular.

To access and use the Software and Site, you must have equipment necessary to access the Web (e.g. through an Internet Service Provider) and pay any related access fees.

As we enhance the Software and Site, we may require that you install new versions. We also may suspend or discontinue the Software or site, or any portion thereof, with or without notice.

If you have comments, questions or concerns regarding the Software or Site, contact user support at support@sitscape.com. If you share ideas with us, we may use them (with our thanks but without owing you further compensation).

You are responsible for:

• What you Post and how you share it. We respect the intellectual property rights of others and ask that you do the same (see the SitScape Content Policy, which you acknowledge to have read, understood and accepted). We assume no responsibility or liability for your activity in connection with the Software or Site. You must make your own determination as to whether what you Post, create or copy and how you share it violates anyone's rights (including copyright) or any laws or any contractual or fiduciary relationship (such as insider information or proprietary or confidential information learned or disclosed to you under an obligation of confidentiality). Neither we nor the Copyright Office can determine for you whether a particular use of another's copyrighted content is fair but the Office's factsheet on the topic can be found at www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html In creating Posts, Tags, Titles or Commentary, you grant us a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable right to use, reproduce, distribute, transmit, disseminate, display, publish, modify, perform and create derivative works thereof (in whole or in part) worldwide and to incorporate them into other works in any form, media or technology now known or later developed.
• What you view. Although we prohibit the posting of objectionable content (see below), we do not prescreen content (such as Posts, Tags, Titles or Commentary) other than attempting to automatically filter out pornographic material.

• Your Profile Image. You will have the opportunity to upload a profile image (aka avatar). This image will appear next to your Username each time your Username appears on the Site.

Content Policy

The intent of this document is to clarify what we consider to be acceptable use of Sitcape, Inc.

If you are found to be in violation of any of the below policies, you will receive a notice via email. Unless you explain or correct your behavior within 72 hours, your account will be suspended. We will do our best to work with you and ensure a fair outcome in all cases. We reserve the right to immediately suspend, without notice, any content, account, or IP address which we determine to be systematically generated, spam, or potentially damaging to our service or infrastructure.

When your account is suspended, public access to your content is blocked

• Illegal Use. SitScape may not be used for illegal purposes. Examples of this include using SitScape for fraudulent purposes or operating a phishing site (used to obtain account and password information).
• Spam. Users that do not publish meaningful content, use deceptive means to generate revenue or traffic, or whose primary purpose is affiliate marketing, will be suspended.
• Identity Theft and Privacy. Users that misleadingly appropriate the identity of another person are not permitted. Users may not post other people's personally identifying or confidential information, including but not limited to credit card numbers, Social Security Numbers, and driver's and other license numbers. You may not post information such as other people's passwords, usernames, phone numbers, addresses and e-mail addresses unless already publicly accessible on the Web.
• Hate Content, Defamation, and Libel. Hate speech and other objectionable content that is unlawful, defamatory, and fraudulent. Note that an allegation of defamatory expression, in and of itself, does not establish defamation. The truth or falsehood of a bit of expression is a key element in establishing defamation, and we are not in a position to make that sort of fact-based judgment. That said, if we have reason to believe that a particular statement is defamatory (a court order, for example), we will remove that statement.
• Disruptions and Exploits. We will terminate accounts and block addresses of those who attempt unauthorized use of www.sitscape.com.
• Copyright. Using copyrighted material does not constitute infringement in all cases. In general, however, users should be careful when using copyrighted content without the permission of those who created it. It is our policy to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA").
• Mass Registration and Automation. Accounts that are registered automatically or systematically will be removed and access will be permanently suspended.
