This page explains the terms by which you may use our online and/or web site, APIs, models and software provided on or in connection with the service (collectively, the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Terms of Use Agreement (“Agreement”) and to the collection and use of your information as set forth in the Keypoint Forensics Privacy Policy, whether or not you are a registered user of our Service. Keypoint Forensics reserves the right to make unilateral modifications to these terms and will provide notice of these changes as described below. This Agreement applies to all visitors, users, and others who access the Service (“Users”).
PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you are hereby granted a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, freely revocable license to use the Service for your personal, noncommercial use only and as permitted by the features of the Services.

Keypoint Forensics may terminate this license at any time for any reason or no reason.
C. Keypoint Forensics Accounts
Your Keypoint Forensics account gives you access to the services and functionality that we may establish and maintain from time to time and in our sole discretion. We may maintain different types of accounts for different types of Users. If you open a Keypoint Forensics account on behalf of a company, organization, or other entity, then (a) “you” includes you and that entity, and (b) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to this Agreement, and that you agree to this Agreement on the entity’s behalf. By connecting to Keypoint Forensics with a third-party service, you give us permission to access and use your information from that service as permitted by that service, and to store your log-in credentials for that service.
You may never use another User’s account without permission. When creating your account, you must provide accurate and complete information. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account, and you must keep your account password secure. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols) with your account. You must notify Keypoint Forensics immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account. Keypoint Forensics will not be liable for any losses caused by any unauthorized use of your account.
You may control your User profile and how you interact with the Service by changing the settings in your Profile Page. By providing Keypoint Forensics your email address you consent to our using the email address to send you Service-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. We may also use your email address to send you other messages, such as changes to features of the Service and special offers. If you do not want to receive such email messages, you may opt out or change your preferences in your Profile Page. Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages regarding updates, improvements, or offers.

We may, without prior notice, change the Service; stop providing the Service or features of the Service, to you or to users generally; or create usage limits for the Service. We may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend your access to the Service without notice and liability for any reason, including if in our sole determination you violate any provision of this Agreement, or for no reason. Upon termination for any reason or no reason, you continue to be bound by this Agreement.
You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Keypoint Forensics Users. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Users.

2. User Content
Some areas of the Service allow Users to submit or post content such as profile information, comments, images, video, questions, and other content or information (any such materials a User submits, posts, displays, transmits or otherwise makes available on the Service, or to Keypoint Forensics, “User Content”). We claim no ownership rights over User Content created by you. The User Content you create remains yours; however, by sharing User Content through the Service, you agree to allow others to view, edit, and/or share your User Content in accordance with your settings and this Agreement. Keypoint Forensics has the right (but not the obligation) in its sole discretion to remove any User Content that is shared via the Service.

You agree that any User Content that you post does not and will not violate third-party rights of any kind, including without limitation any Intellectual Property Rights (as defined below) or rights of privacy. To the extent that your User Content contains music, you hereby represent that you are the owner of all the copyright rights, including without limitation the performance, mechanical, and sound recordings rights, with respect to each and every musical composition (including lyrics) and sound recording contained in such User Content and have the power to grant the license granted below. Keypoint Forensics reserves the right, but is not obligated, to reject and/or remove any User Content that Keypoint Forensics believes, in its sole discretion, violates these provisions. You understand that publishing your User Content on the Service is not a substitute for registering it with the U.S. Copyright Office, the Writer’s Guild of America, or any other rights organization.
For the purposes of this Agreement, “Intellectual Property Rights” means all patent rights, copyright rights, mask work rights, moral rights, rights of publicity, trademark, trade dress and service mark rights, goodwill, trade secret rights and other intellectual property rights as may now exist or hereafter come into existence, and all applications therefore and registrations, renewals and extensions thereof, under the laws of any state, country, territory or other jurisdiction.
In connection with your User Content, you affirm, represent and warrant the following:
A. You have the written consent of each and every identifiable natural person in the User Content to use such person’s name or likeness in the manner contemplated by the Service and this Agreement, and each such person has released you from any liability that may arise in relation to such use.
B. Your User Content and Keypoint Forensics’s use thereof as contemplated by this Agreement and the Service will not violate any law or infringe any rights of any third party, including but not limited to any Intellectual Property Rights and privacy rights.

D. To the best of your knowledge, all your User Content and other information that you provide to us is truthful and accurate.
Keypoint Forensics takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any User Content that you or any other User or third party posts or sends over the Service. You shall be solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting or publishing it, and you agree that we are only acting as a passive conduit for your online distribution and publication of your User Content. You understand and agree that you may be exposed to User Content that is inaccurate, objectionable, inappropriate for children, or otherwise unsuited to your purpose, and you agree that Keypoint Forensics shall not be liable for any damages you allege to incur as a result of User Content.
3. User Content License Grant
Anything you post, upload, share, store, or otherwise provide through the Service is your User Content. Some User Content is viewable or accessible by other users. In order to display your User Content on the Service, and to allow other users to enjoy it (where applicable), you grant us certain rights in such User Content.
For all User Content, you hereby grant Keypoint Forensics a license to translate, modify (for technical purposes, for example making sure your content is viewable on an iPhone as well as a computer) and reproduce and otherwise act with respect to such User Content, in each case to enable us to operate the Service, as described in more detail below. This is a license only – your ownership in User Content is not affected.
If you store User Content in your own personal Keypoint Forensics account, in a manner that is not viewable or accessible by any other user except you, or use aspects of the Service, such as Keypoint Forensics’s APIs, that require Keypoint Forensics to access and search your databases of content for specific images (collectively, “Personal User Content”), you grant Keypoint Forensics the license above, as well as a license to access, display, perform, and distribute your Personal User Content for the sole purpose of providing you the Service and making that Personal User Content accessible to you.
If you share User Content in a manner that only certain specified users can view (for example, a private message to one or more other users)(a “Limited Audience User Content”), then you grant Keypoint Forensics the licenses above, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Limited Audience User Content for the sole purpose of making that Limited Audience User Content accessible to such other specified users, and providing the Service necessary to do so. Also, you grant such other specified users a license to access that Limited Audience User Content, and to use and exercise all rights in it, as permitted by the functionality of the Service.
If you share User Content publicly on the Service and/or in a manner that more than just you or certain specified users can view, or if you provide us (in a direct email or otherwise) with any feedback, models, suggestions, improvements, enhancements, and/or feature requests relating to the Service (each of the foregoing, “Public User Content”), then you grant Keypoint Forensics the licenses above, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Public User Content for the purpose of making that Public User Content accessible to all Keypoint Forensics users and providing the Service necessary to do so, as well as all other rights necessary to use and exercise all rights in that Public User Content in connection with the Service and/or otherwise in connection with Keypoint Forensics’s business for any purpose. Also, you grant all other users of the Service a license to access that Public User Content, and to use and exercise all rights in it, as permitted by the functionality of the Service.
You agree that the licenses you grant are royalty-free, perpetual, sublicensable, irrevocable, and worldwide, provided that when you delete your Keypoint Forensics account, we will stop displaying your User Content (other than Public User Content, which may remain fully available) to other users (if applicable), but you understand and agree that it may not be possible to completely delete that content from Keypoint Forensics’s records, and that your User Content may remain viewable elsewhere to the extent that they were copied or stored by other users.
Finally, you understand and agree that Keypoint Forensics, in performing the required technical steps to provide the Service to our users (including you), may need to make changes to your User Content to conform and adapt those User Content to the technical requirements of connection networks, devices, services, or media, and the foregoing licenses include the rights to do so.

Except as explicitly provided herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create a license in or under any such Intellectual Property Rights, and you agree not to sell, license, rent, modify, distribute, copy, reproduce, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, publish, adapt, edit or create derivative works from any Keypoint Forensics Content.

5. Keypoint Forensics Property
Certain aspects of the Service may allow you to obtain certain reputational or status indicators (“Keypoint Forensics Property”). You understand and agree that regardless of terminology used, Keypoint Forensics Property represents a limited license right governed solely by the terms of this Agreement and available for distribution at Keypoint Forensics’s sole discretion.
