Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: April 4th, 2022

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms", "Terms of Service") carefully before using the Storysoft service (“Service”). Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned upon your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms and constitutes a legal contract between Storysoft LLC (referred to herein as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”), and the user of the Service (“you”). By accessing or using the Service you are demonstrating your agreement to be bound by these Terms in addition to any other terms otherwise agreed. If you disagree with any part of the Terms, then you do not have permission to access or use the Service. All information we obtain in connection with your use of the Service will be treated according to the provisions of our Privacy Policy which is incorporated as part of these Terms. Your use of the Service indicates your acknowledgement and acceptance that your information will be governed by such Privacy Policy.

1. Rights to Use the Service

Subject to these Terms, the Company hereby grants you a nontransferable, nonexclusive license right to access and use the Service. Except for this license, the Company retains all rights, title, and interests in the Service. This license is subject to the following additional specific conditions:

This license enables you to use the Service on one or more computing devices solely for the purpose of using the Service.
This license, and your rights to access and use the Service, including all Service software provided to you, ends upon the termination of this Agreement.
The Service is for your personal use only and you shall not sell, lease, transfer or otherwise make the Service or any Service software available to third parties.
You are prohibited from making any copy of the Service software, except copies that are dynamically created during normal runtime operation.
You agree not to cause or permit the disassembly, reverse compilation, or reverse engineering of the Service software, except as otherwise permitted by law notwithstanding this prohibition.

2. Content

Our Service allows you to create, post, link, store, share and otherwise make available certain information, text, graphics, videos, or other material ("Content"). You are responsible for the Content that you upload and use in, or publish using, the Service, including its legality, reliability, and appropriateness. It is also solely at your election to contribute Content.

By posting Content on or through the Service, you represent and warrant that: (i) the Content is yours (you own it) and/or you have the right to use it and the right to grant us the rights and license as provided in these Terms, (ii) that 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 or entity, and (iii) you have all rights that are necessary to grant us a limited “Operations License” (as described below) under these Terms. We reserve the right to terminate the account of anyone we believe to be acting in a manner that conflicts with this warranty.

You retain 100% of your rights to any Content you submit, post, or display on or through the Service, but you do have to grant us the Operations License to enable us to legally operate the Service.

For us to legally process your Content in the manner necessary to provide the Service, you must grant us certain rights with respect to such Content so that technical actions we take in operating the Service are not considered legal violations under copyright or other laws. For example, we need to be able to collect, process, transmit, store, copy, and publish Content to provide the Service. Accordingly, you hereby grant Storysoft inc. a license to display, perform and distribute your Content and to modify (for technical purposes, e.g., making sure Content is viewable on smartphones as well as computers and other devices, and that we may conform and adapt your Content to the technical requirements of connecting networks, devices, services, or media), and reproduce such Content to enable us to operate the Service (the “Operations License”).

You agree that the rights provided with the Operations License are (1) royalty-free, worldwide, and irrevocable (for so long as your Content is stored or used in the Service), (2) sublicensable to other parties with whom we have contractual relationships related to the provision of the Service, solely for the purpose of enabling those third parties to provide their services, and (3) transferable to any party that may acquire and/or operate the Service in the future. (We do not assume any responsibility for, or liability on account of, the actions or omissions of such third parties.) We also reserve the right to otherwise permit access to or disclose any of your Content stored in the Service to third parties if we determine such access is necessary to comply with our legal obligations.

While you retain all of your rights in the Content you store or use within our service (subject to third party rights), you acknowledge and agree that we (and our licensors) own(s) all legal right, title and interest in and to the Service, including, without limitation, all software that is part of the Service and all images, tools, audio and other materials that we may from time to time make available for your use with the Service (the “Storysoft Materials”). You may use the Storysoft Materials and the recordings you create utilizing the Service and Storysoft Materials for commercial purposes. However, you may not distribute, modify, transmit, reuse, download, repost, copy, or use any Storysoft Materials found on or through the Service itself for commercial purposes or personal gain, whether in whole or in part, for commercial purposes or for personal gain, without express advance written permission from us.

3. Behavior and Acceptable Use

We aim to foster a diverse, inclusive, and kind culture. While we do not monitor your Content or communications with which you may use the Service on third-party service platforms (those uses are governed by the Terms of Service of the third party service providers you choose to use), we do require that your use of the Service, including any Content created using the Service (regardless of how it is used and shared thereafter) adheres to our behavior and acceptable use policies, which are as follows (which may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the Service, applicable laws, and/or the desires of our customers, or as otherwise determined appropriate by us, in our sole discretion):

Do not violate laws or regulations applicable to you or the use of the Service. You, and not the Company, are responsible for complying with any laws or regulations applicable to the Content you access, create, or share while using the Service.
Do not use any third-party services in connection with the Service in violation of any third-party policies or requirements, or in some other manner that violates laws or regulations protecting any other person or property. Do not upload, post, or otherwise transmit any Content that you don’t have a right to transmit under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships (e.g., inside information, confidential information learned or disclosed as part of employment relationships or under nondisclosure agreements, or protected health information or other personally identifiable information).
Do not upload, post, or otherwise transmit any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising or promotional materials.
Do not use the Service to promote harm to any person, group of people or animals, or any governmental or legal entity; or stalk or harass anyone.
Do not upload, promote, or distribute software viruses or any other kind of computer code, files or programs that attempt to interrupt, destroy, or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment. Don’t interfere with our servers or third-party services utilized with the Service, or with the services and networks of the service providers we use to help deliver the Service.
Do not access or attempt to access the Service by any means other than through the software we provide. And don’t use the Service in a manner that could lead to the interruption of access to the Service for others.
Do not upload, publish, or display any Content that contains sexually graphic material or material that may otherwise be deemed explicit or offensive, or that may be threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous, obscene, invasive, hateful, or racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable.
We reserve the right to make a determination as to whether your Content is acceptable, or not, in our sole discretion.

Please understand that these guidelines are intended to promote a beneficial experience for all users of the Service, but we cannot and do not monitor the use of the Service by others, so you may be exposed to offensive, indecent, or objectionable behavior by other users when using the Service. We expect that you understand this and, accordingly, you agree that your use of the Service is at your own risk.
If you do encounter any behavior that conflicts with these policies, or any other objectionable content, you may contact us using our contact form at https://storysoft.io/contact/.

4. Creating an Account / Obtaining A Subscription

You may only create an account with us to use the Service if you are age 13 or older, and the information you provide us is always accurate, complete, and current. Inaccurate, incomplete, or obsolete information may result in the immediate termination of your account to use the Service.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, including but not limited to the restriction of access to your computer and/or account. You agree to accept responsibility for all activities or actions that occur under your account and/or password, whether your password is with our Service or a third-party service. You must notify us immediately upon becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account.

You may not use the email address of another person or entity that is not lawfully available for your use, or otherwise attempt to give the impression of being a person or organization who you are not, without appropriate authorization.

We reserve the right to refuse service, terminate your account, remove, or edit Content, or cancel orders in our sole discretion.

While we expect to provide updates to the Service, and guidance on how to use the Service as it may be updated, we shall not have any obligation to provide specific support to you with respect to the use or modifications of the Service. In addition, your license to use the Service does not entitle you to rights to use any new or different product or service the Company may launch, as any access to or rights to use a different product or service may be conditioned upon you entering into a separate agreement, on different terms, with us.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between us regarding our Service and supersede and replace any prior agreements we might have had between us regarding the Service.
