If you are accessing our Services by a mobile device, your wireless carrier may charge you fees for data, text messaging, and other wireless access or communications services. We do not guarantee that our mobile Services can be accessed through all wireless devices or service plans or are available in all geographical locations. You provide consent and all rights necessary to enable users to sync (including through an application) their devices with any visible information on Micpedia.

If you elect to store authentication information, such as a username and password, where others may access it, we are not responsible for any loss of personal data or other consequences if someone other than you uses that information to access our services. If you lose a device, such as a laptop, desktop, or smartphone, or a device is stolen containing your username and password, it is up to you to take all the steps necessary to protect yourself.

 

Restrictions

To use our Services, you must:

  1. comply with applicable laws and regulations and not participate in, facilitate, or further illegal activities;
  2. immediately notify us if you learn of a security breach or other illegal activity on the Services;
  3. protect your username and password;
  4. not post Content that contains explicit or graphic descriptions or accounts of sexual acts or is threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous, deceptive, fraudulent, invasive of another’s privacy, or tortious;

You may not post Content intended to provide professional advice, including the provision of medical treatment, legal advice, or investment advice. You may not post Content to solicit, recommend, endorse, or offer to buy or sell any securities or other financial instruments, tout stocks, or recommend that any particular security, portfolio of securities, transaction or investment strategy is suitable for you or any specific person.

We can take any technical, legal, and other actions that we deem, in our sole discretion, necessary and appropriate without notice to you to prevent violations and to enforce this Agreement.

 

Who will see my Content?

Except as described here and in our Privacy Policy, unless you elect to enable others to view or have access to the Content you submit to the Service, no one else should see your Content without your consent. Of course, if you do elect to publish or share any portion of your Content by adding it to your public profile, by sending a portion to a Service Provider, or by sharing your Account Information with another person, then you would be enabling each of those permitted users to access, use, display, perform, distribute and modify your Content. In addition, if Micpedia enables you to use a variety of third-party services and applications that interact with the Service and your Content, you should review the access rights you provide to those services or applications, as you may enable them to access or extract your Content through your agreements with those parties.

 

Security

If you create a profile on the Services, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and profile, and you are fully responsible for all consequences and activities that occur under your account. You must not add text to, describe, or assign keywords to your profile in a misleading or unlawful manner, including in a manner intended to trade on the name or reputation of others, and we may change or remove any description or keyword that we consider inappropriate or unlawful, or is otherwise likely to cause us liability. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized uses of your account or any other breaches of security.

 

Passwords

You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Services and for any activities or actions under your password. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols) with your account. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.

 

Services Fees

We reserve the right to charge or change the payment terms and fees for any Service or feature upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to you. If you do not agree to the fees, you may terminate the Services before the new fees take effect without penalty to you.

 

Trial Services

Any trial promotion for a fee-based Service must be used within the specified time of the trial. You must cancel your account before the end of the trial period to avoid being charged a subscription fee. However, even during any free trial or other promotion, you will still be responsible for any purchases and surcharges incurred using your account and any sub- or linked-accounts. We reserve the right to limit you to one free trial or promotion of a fee-based Service and to prohibit the combining of free trials, promotions, and other offers.

 

Disputes With Us

If a dispute arises between you and ODRATEK, our goal is to address your concerns and, if we are unable to do so to your satisfaction, to provide you with a means of resolving the dispute quickly. We strongly encourage you first to contact us directly to seek a resolution by emailing us at info@odratek.com.

For any claim, ODRATEK may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost-effective manner through binding arbitration, as described below in the section Miscellaneous.

Copyright and trademark owners can report alleged violations by sending an email to info@odratek.com. 

 

Intellectual Property

The Services and the Content provided on the Services are protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, international treaties, laws, and other proprietary rights, and also may have security components that protect digital information. You agree that you will not take any action to interfere with anyone’s rights in their Content, and you will not attempt to circumvent any mechanisms for preventing the unauthorized reproduction or distribution of Content. This Agreement does not transfer to you any of our or third party intellectual property. Nothing in this Agreement grants you a right or license to reproduce or otherwise use any of our or third party’s trademarks, service marks, logos, and trade names.

 

Changes

We may modify this TOS from time to time. If you do not agree to the changes, stop using our Services (and remember to cancel any subscription-based fee-based services) before the changes take effect. Your use of a Service after the effective date of any changes means that you agree to the changes. We may also, in the future, offer new services and/or features through the Services. Such new features and/or services shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any supplemental terms that accompany the new features.

 

Termination

We may terminate your access to all or any part of the Services and terminate your account at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately. If you wish to terminate this Agreement or your account (if you have one), you may simply discontinue using the Services. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.

THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE NETHERLANDS WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW. ODRATEK’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision under these Terms and Conditions shall not be deemed a waiver of any future right or provision. 

If any provision or right contained in these Terms and Conditions is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such provision or right shall be severed from these Terms and Conditions, and the remainder of these Terms and Conditions shall continue to be binding upon User to the maximum extent allowed by law. 

ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR CONTROVERSIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS WILL BE SETTLED IN BINDING ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES OF THE DUTCH ARBITRATION ACT. ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR CONTROVERSIES MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND MUST NOT BE CONSOLIDATED IN ANY ARBITRATION WITH ANY OTHER CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY OF ANY OTHER PARTY.

WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF THIS SITE, THE SERVICES OR THE MATERIALS, THE PARTIES HEREBY EXPRESSLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF THE NETHERLANDS.
