Buzztouch Terms of Use
Please read these terms of use carefully.
1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
Welcome to Buzztouch's mobile application content management system ("CMS", the "Service"
or the "System" or the "software"). Your use of the Service is subject to these Terms of Service ("TOS").
The operators of this site (buzztouch.com) reserve the right to update and change the
TOS from time to time without notice or acceptance by you. The TOS will also be applicable to
the use of the Service on a trial basis. By using the Service, you signify your irrevocable
acceptance of this TOS.
2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
The Service is web-based and allows users that register for an account on the Service
(an "Account Holder") to organize information, content, and data, into mobile application
source code packages. Account Holders download source code packages from online control panels
provided by the service. After a source code package is downloaded it is compiled by the Account Holder
into a mobile application suitable for installation on a mobile device.
The compiling process is performed by the Account Holder using third party tools. The Service
does not compile source code into mobile software for Account Holders.
Unless explicitly
stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including
the release of new Buzztouch tools and resources, shall be subject to the TOS. In order to use the
Service, you must obtain access to the World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that
access web-based content, and pay any service fees associated with such access. In addition,
you must provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the World Wide Web,
including a computer and modem or other access device. You also understand and agree that
the service may include certain communications from Buzztouch, such as service announcements,
administrative messages or Buzztouch related news, and that these communications are
considered part of Buzztouch Service and you will be able to opt out of receiving them.
You agree not to access the Service by any means other than through the interfaces that
are provided by Buzztouch for use in accessing the Service.
Additionally, by using the Service, you agree that you understand that other third party
software packages and services (such as Xcode, Eclipse, Apple, Google) may be required to
compile source code provided by the Service into executable mobile applications. You also
understand that these third party software packages and services may require the payment of fees.
The Service maintains no formal, informal, or legal relationship with these third party services
and any fees you pay to them are your responsibility.
3. REGISTRATION
In order to use the Service, you must have a valid Buzztouch ID. To be an Account Holder and to be granted access
to the Service,
you must provide Buzztouch with a valid email address and other information
("Registration Data"). As an Account Holder, you will choose a password and account designation
for your applications during the Service's registration process. You are responsible for maintaining
the confidentiality of the password and account, and are fully responsible for all activities
that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify Buzztouch in
writing of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security,
and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. Buzztouch cannot and
will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this
Section. In consideration of use of the Service, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate,
current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service's registration
form, and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate,
current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current
or incomplete, or Buzztouch has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue,
inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Buzztouch has the right to suspend or terminate your
account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof) without notice.
Additionally, we do not allow multiple accounts. This means you cannot register for the service using the same
name and different email addresses and other contact information. One account per person is allowed.
Users under 13 years of age are prohibited from using the Service.
4. CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION
If you cancel, or we cancel your access to the Service, your cancellation will take effect immediately. After cancellation,
you will no longer have access to any data associated with your online control panel. All information contained therein may be
deleted by Buzztouch. Buzztouch accepts no liability for such deleted information or content.
You agree Buzztouch, in its sole discretion, may terminate your password, and/or account, and remove
and discard any Content within the Service (including, but not limited to your control panel data if you are
an Account Holder), for any reason, including and without limitation, the lack of use, or if Buzztouch
believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of the TOS. Any
contracts, verbal or written or assumed, in conjunction with your deleted control panel data (as applicable)
and all its parts, at Buzztouch's discretion, will be terminated as well. Buzztouch may also in its sole
discretion and at any time, discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without
notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of this TOS
may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Buzztouch may immediately deactivate
or delete your control panel data, as applicable, and all related information and files. Buzztouch reserves the
right to bar any further access to such files or the Service. You agree that Buzztouch shall not be
liable to you or any third-party for any termination of your access to the Service.
5. Buzztouch PRIVACY POLICY
Registration Data and certain other information about you are subject to our
Privacy Policy, the terms of which are incorporated into
this TOS by reference.
6. OWNERSHIP OF Buzztouch ACCOUNT AND SECURITY
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and control panel data, and you
are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account and any other
actions taken in connection with your control panel data. You agree to immediately notify Buzztouch
in writing of any unauthorized uses of the account or any other breaches of security.
Buzztouch cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply
