Following is a legal document known as thinaire’s terms of service. It exists to make sure everyone on the service is properly protected. We have added some pull-out quotes that turn the legalese in plain English. This document is effective as of March 21st, 2016 and was last updated on March 21st, 2016.

I. Introduction and Eligibility

Please read these Terms of Use (“Terms”) carefully before using the thinaire Service.

These Terms include thinaire’s Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms. When you access any thinaire services through software, these Terms also incorporate the End User License Agreement (EULA) provided with such software. We have included several annotations in boxes to help explain the legal jargon and emphasize key sections. These annotations are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

This agreement is a legally binding contract. It may change as our business changes, and you agree you will review it and any updates regularly.

Binding Agreement

These Terms constitute a binding agreement between you and Thinaire, Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries (“thinaire,” “we,” “us”). “The Service” shall mean any services provided by Thinaire, Inc. “You” and “users” shall mean all visitors to the thinaire services. You accept these Terms each time you access the thinaire Service or thinaire.net. If you do not accept these Terms, you must not use the thinaire Service or thinaire.net.

Revisions to Terms

We may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version to this web page. You should visit this page periodically to review the most current Terms, because you are bound by them. Your continued use of the Service after a change to these Terms constitutes your binding acceptance of these Terms.

Sorry but we can’t yet have kids on the service. If you’re under 13, we love you and all that but haven’t figured out a way to keep it legal for you to use thinaire.

Children

No part of the Service is directed to persons under the age of 13. IF YOU ARE UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE PLEASE DO NOT USE OR ACCESS The Service AT ANY TIME OR IN ANY MANNER. If you are under 18 years of age, you represent and agree that you possess the legal consent of your parent or guardian to access and use the thinaire Service.

The terms “post” or “posting” as used in these Terms shall mean the act of submitting, uploading, publishing, displaying, or similar action on the Service.

II.The thinaire Service

The thinaire Service (or “the Service”) means any website, mobile application, software, or Internet service under thinaire’s control, whether partial or otherwise, and whether offered directly or through a third party, in connection with providing the services provided by thinaire. The Service provides a platform that allows anyone to track media coming from television, beacons, NFC, QR code, associate campaigns to that media, and get relevant analytics on that data.

Our services are subscription based.

Subscriptions

You may be able to sign up for a subscription on thinaire. When you sign up for the subscription, you agree to the pricing and other fees associated with the subscription. You may terminate the subscription at any time, but thinaire will not refund any payments you have made. If thinaire changes the subscription policies, you will have the option to terminate your subscription. If your payment method does not work when the subscription payment is due, thinaire reserves the right, but is not required, to terminate your subscription. We may deny or terminate any subscription at our discretion.

You may be charged fees by our payment processors. All purchases are final; there are no refunds.

Fees Charged by Third-Party Payment Processors

The service uses third parties to process payments. Use of such third-party payment services is subject to their terms and conditions of use. Those third parties may charge fees to process payments, and thinaire is not responsible for any fees charged by them. Thinaire disclaims all liability with regards to any fees or problems you have with third-party payment processors.

No Refunds

thinaire will not refund your payments for a subscription or any services offered on the thinaire platform.

United States Dollars

All monetary transactions take place in U.S. dollars.

We don’t like SMS spam and will only send you text messages relating to thinaire. We will stop sending text messages at your request.

Text Messages

You may access some aspects of the Service using text messages. By registering, providing your telephone number, and choosing to participate in activities that use text message on the Service, you agree to receive these text messages. The Service may send you text messages related to the activities you selected.

You may suspend text messages in multiple ways. You may close your account or change your preference using the Service. You may also use our API to disassociate your number from your account. thinaire does not charge a fee for text messages, however, standard messaging, data, and other fees may be charged by your wireless service carrier. thinaire is not responsible for those changes.

We send and receive text messages through cellular telephone operators or other networks, and the level of reliability may vary. thinaire is not responsible for the timeliness or final delivery of the message, as this is out of our control and is the responsibility of the cellular telephone operator or other networks.

III. Account Creation

You agree that if you create an account and use the Service on behalf of a business entity (e.g., corporation, partnership, limited liability company, etc.), you have the necessary legal authority and capacity to do so as an authorized agent of the business entity. You agree that you have the authority to bind the business entity in legal agreements and contracts.

V. Communications

thinaire may communicate with you by email or posting notice on the thinaire Service. You may request that we provide notice of security breaches in writing.

You agree to receive email from us at the email address you provided to us for customer service related purposes.

Electronic Notices

By using the Service or providing Personal Information to us, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of the Service. If we learn of a security system’s breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically by posting a notice on the Service or sending an email to you. You may have a legal right to receive this notice in writing. To receive free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent from receiving electronic notice), please write to us at TOS@thinaire.net.

VI. Thinaire’s Content Ownership and Use

You cannot use our logo for business purposes without our written permission.

Thinaire Marks

Thinaire, the thinaire logo, and other thinaire logos and product and service names are or may be trademarks of thinaire (the “thinaire Marks”). Without our prior written permission, and except as solely enabled by any link as provided by us, you agree not to display or use for any business purpose the thinaire Marks.

VII. Intellectual Property Rights and Your License to Use

You, or the people who allow you to use their content, own all of the content you post using the Service. However, we may use it for any purpose, including in our marketing materials. We may also modify your content to make it work better.

It is very important that you have permission to use other people’s content or they may be able to sue you for violating their legal rights.

Thinaire Claims No Ownership

The Service may provide you with the ability to create and manage marketing campaigns (“Your User Content”). Thinaire claims no ownership or control over Your User Content. You or a third-party licensor, as appropriate, retain all copyright, patent, and trademark rights to any of the content you post on or through the Service. You are responsible for protecting those rights. You also acknowledge and agree that Your User Content is non-confidential and non-proprietary.

You Must Have Rights to the Content You Post

You represent and warrant that: (i) you own the content posted by you on or through the Service or otherwise have the right to grant the license set forth in these Terms, (ii) the posting and use of Your User Content on or through the Service does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights, intellectual property rights, or any other rights of any person, and (iii) the posting of Your User Content on the Service does not result in a breach of contract between you and a third party. You agree to pay for all royalties, fees, and any other monies owing any person by reason of content you post on or through the Service.

The Service may contain content from users and other Thinaire licensors. Except as provided within these Terms, you may not copy, modify, translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform, display, or sell any content appearing on or through the Service.

VIII. Copyright Policy

Tell us if you think a user has violated your copyright using the Service, or if you think someone incorrectly reported that you violated his or her copyright.

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 believe in good faith that materials posted on the Service infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send Thinaire a “Notification of Claimed Infringement” requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information:

1. - 1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the works that have been allegedly infringed;
  - 2. Identification of the copyrighted work alleged to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Service are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works);
  - 3. Identification of the specific material alleged to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow Thinaire to locate the material on the Service;
  - 4. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address (if available);
  - 5. A statement that you have 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
  - 6. 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 against you, the DMCA permits you to send Thinaire a counter-notice.

Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ for details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Service should be sent to Thinaire, DMCA Takedown dept.,One Penn Plaza, Suite 2010, New York, NY 10119 ([dmca @ thinaire.net]). Consult your legal advisor and see 17 U.S.C. § 512 before filing a notice or counter-notice as there are penalties for false claims under the DMCA.

IX. Suggestions and Submissions

You know that great idea you have for us: Please don’t send it (the law makes it hard for us to read them.) If you do, we can use them without compensating you.

We appreciate hearing from our users and welcome your comments regarding the Service. Please be advised, however, that we do not accept or consider creative ideas, suggestions, inventions, or materials (“creative ideas”) other than those which we have specifically requested. While we value your feedback on its services, please be specific in your comments and do not submit creative ideas. If, despite this request, you send us creative ideas, we:

1. - 1. Shall own, exclusively, all now known or later discovered rights to the creative ideas;
  - 2. Shall not be subject to any obligation of confidentiality and shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of any creative ideas; and
  - 3. Shall be entitled to unrestricted use of the creative ideas for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to you or any other person.
