You may not use the Service if you are a person barred from receiving the Service under the laws of the United States or other countries including the country in which you are resident or from which you use the Service.

2.1. You must provide accurate and complete registration information any time you register to use the Service. You are responsible for the security of your passwords and for any use of your account. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your password or of your account, you agree to notify Beebotte immediately.

The Service shall be subject to the privacy policy for the Service available at http://beebotte.com/legal/privacy (or such URL as Beebotte may provide), which references and incorporates Beebotte's privacy policy available at http://Beebotte.com/legal/privacy. You agree to the use of your data in accordance with Beebotte's privacy policies.
3.3. You agree that you will protect the privacy and legal rights of the users of your application. You must provide legally adequate privacy notice and protection for those users. To do so, at a minimum, you must incorporate the privacy terms available at http://Beebotte.com/legal/privacy into the privacy policy for your application. If the users provide you with user names, passwords, or other login information or personal information, you must make the users aware that the information may be available to your application and to Beebotte.

You are responsible for paying all taxes and government charges, and all reasonable expenses and attorneys fees Beebotte incurs collecting late amounts. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive all claims relating to charges unless claimed within 60 days after the charge (this does not affect your credit card issuer rights).

To the fullest extent permitted by law, refunds (if any) are at the discretion of Beebotte and only in the form of credit for the Service. Nothing in these Terms obligates Beebotte to extend credit to any party. You acknowledge and agree that any credit card and related billing and payment information that you provide to Beebotte may be shared by Beebotte with companies who work on Beebotte's behalf, such as payment processors and/or credit agencies, solely for the purposes of checking credit, effecting payment to Beebotte and servicing your account. Beebotte may also provide information in response to valid legal process, such as subpoenas, search warrants and court orders, or to establish or exercise its legal rights or defend against legal claims.

Unless Beebotte has given you specific written permission to do so (e.g., through an open source software license), you may not assign (or grant a sub-license of) your rights to use the Beebotte Software, grant a security interest in or over your rights to use the Beebotte Software, or otherwise transfer any part of your rights to use the Software.
7.4. Open source software licenses for components of the Service released under an open source license constitute separate written agreements. To the limited extent that the open source software licenses expressly supersede these Terms, the open source licenses govern your agreement with Beebotte for the use of the components of the Service released under an open source license.
8.1. Beebotte claims no ownership or control over any Content or Application. You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in the Content and/or Application, and you are responsible for protecting those rights, as appropriate. By submitting, posting or displaying the Content on or through the Service you give Beebotte a worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such Content for the sole purpose of enabling Beebotte to provide you with the Service in accordance with its privacy policy. Furthermore, by creating an Application through use of the Service, you give Beebotte a worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such Application for the sole purpose of enabling Beebotte to provide you with the Service in accordance with its privacy policy.
8.2. You agree that Beebotte, in its sole discretion, may use your trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names and other distinctive brand features in presentations, marketing materials, customer lists, financial reports and Web site listings (including links to your website) for the purpose of advertising or publicizing your use of the Service.
9.1. The Software which you use may automatically download and install updates from time to time from Beebotte. These updates are designed to improve, enhance and further develop the Service and may take the form of bug fixes, enhanced functions, new software modules and completely new versions. You agree to receive such updates (and permit Beebotte to deliver these to you) as part of your use of the Service.
10.1. Beebotte is constantly innovating in order to provide the best possible experience for its users. You acknowledge and agree that the form and nature of the Service which Beebotte provides may change from time to time without prior notice to you, subject to the terms in Sections 4.3 and 10.2. Changes to the form and nature of the Service will be effective with respect to all versions of the Service (including the Deprecated Version of the Service); examples of changes to the form and nature of the Service include without limitation changes to fee and payment policies, security patches, added functionality, and other enhancements.
10.2. If Beebotte in its discretion chooses to cease providing the current version of the Service whether through discontinuation of the Service or by upgrading the Service to a newer version, the current version of the Service will be deprecated and become the Deprecated Version of the Service. Beebotte will issue an announcement if the current version of the Service will be deprecated. For a period of 3 years after an announcement (the “Deprecation Period”), Beebotte will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to operate the Deprecated Version of the Service and to respond to problems with the Deprecated Version of the Service deemed by Beebotte in its discretion to be critical. During the Deprecation Period, no new features will be added to the Deprecated Version of the Service.
Beebotte reserves the right in its discretion to cease providing all or any part of the Deprecated Version of the Service immediately without any notice if:
(A) you have breached any provision of the Terms (or have acted in manner that clearly shows that you do not intend to, or are unable to comply with the provisions of the Terms); or
(B) Beebotte is required to do so by law (for example, due to a change to the law governing the provision of the Deprecated Version of the Service); or
(C) the Deprecated Version of the Service relies on data or services provided by a third party partner and the relationship with such partner (i) has expired or been terminated or (ii) requires Beebotte to change the way Beebotte provides the data or services through the Deprecated Version of the Service; or
(D) providing the Deprecated Version of the Service could create a substantial economic burden as determined by Beebotte in its reasonable good faith judgment; or
(E) providing the Deprecated Version of the Service could create a security risk or material technical burden as determined by Beebotte in its reasonable good faith judgment.
At any time prior to discontinuing the current version of the Service or upgrading to a new version of the Service, Beebotte may, in its discretion as part of its continuing innovation to provide the best possible experience for its users, label certain features or functionality of the Service as "experimental." This Section 10.2 of the Terms will not apply to any features or functionality labeled as "experimental."
