Storyboard That Brugsbetingelser: Dine Rettigheder Forklaret

STORYBOARD THAT TERMS OF SERVICE

Clever Prototypes, LLC (“Clever Prototypes”, “we” or “us”) is pleased to provide you with access to the Storyboard That website and its corresponding features, services and programs (collectively, the “Service”). The Service is provided to you, the user of the Service (“you,” “User,” and “Users” plural) subject to acceptance of all the following terms and conditions (this “Agreement”). You should read this Agreement carefully, because by indicating acceptance of this Agreement or by otherwise using the Service (whether by browsing or creating an account), you are entering into a legally binding agreement with Clever Prototypes. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, you may not use the Service.

1. Summary Of Service And Grant Of License

Storyboard That is a powerful tool that allows you to create, share, and publish storyboards (“Storyboards”) for the purposes of education, business, communication, and just plain fun. With Storyboard That, you can combine drawings, photographs, and text to create impressive Storyboards with minimal effort.

Subject to the additional terms in this Agreement, we authorize you to use the Service to view and create Storyboards, and to use those Storyboards in accordance with these terms. You may not otherwise use, modify, copy, print, display, reproduce, distribute or publish any information or part of the Service without the express, prior, written consent of Clever Prototypes.

You agree, and represent and warrant, that your use of the Service, or any portion thereof, will be consistent with the licenses, covenants and restrictions contained in this Agreement and will neither infringe nor violate the rights of any other party or breach any contract or legal duty to any other parties. In addition, you agree that you will comply with all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances relating to the Service or your use thereof, and you will be solely responsible for your own individual violations.

You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining the computer and other equipment you use to access the Service, and for paying for such equipment and any telecommunications charges. We are not liable for any loss or damage you suffer arising from damage to equipment used in connection with use of the Service.

Users with accounts may store Storyboards with the Service so that they are available for future use. While we will make reasonable efforts to make such data available to you, you should maintain your own backup copies of Storyboards, and of User Data as defined below. Clever Prototypes will not be responsible if data backups fail and it is unable to restore Storyboards or User Data stored by Users.

2. Accounts

We allow Users to create Storyboards under a free account (“Free Account”), or by using one of various paid accounts and trial periods for those accounts (each a “Premium Account”). Among other differences, Free Accounts and Premium Accounts differ with respect to privacy settings and your ability to use Storyboards for purposes beyond the Service. Storyboards created with a Free Account are always publicly available, we may use them for any purpose, and your ability to use them in other projects is limited to non-commercial use. Storyboards created with a Premium Account have a greater degree of User control, have extensive privacy settings, and may be employed for a variety of commercial uses, depending on membership level. Please see our Pricing Page for a detailed comparison of Storyboard That packages and commercial uses. Regardless of the package, any direct usage of the raw storyboard cannot be used with marketing budgets exceeding $10,000 without prior approval.

3. Registration

In order to use certain features of the Service, you must create an account and register with us. If you register as a User or otherwise use the Service, you represent and warrant to Clever Prototypes that: (i) you are of legal age to form a binding contract; (ii) you will provide us with accurate, current and complete registration information; (iii) if you are registering on behalf of a minor, you have all right and authority to bind the minor to this Agreement, and ensure compliance herewith; and (iv) your registration and your use of the Service is not prohibited by law. You are responsible for your registration and all use of the Service under it. You must keep your username and password confidential, and sharing passwords is not permitted.

4. Proprietary Materials And Ownership

We encourage you to widely print, share, and discuss your Storyboards, and details regarding any limitations are available on our Pricing Page.
