Terms of Use

 

Please read all of these terms of use (“Terms”) carefully before using our websites, email notifications, mobile applications, social media applications, widgets, and our other online services (the “Services”) because it affects your legal rights and obligations.

This Agreement and Your Acceptance

Our Services are owned, operated and provided by PoshVine Systems Pte. Ltd. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“PoshVine,” “our,” “us” or “we”). Our Services are hosted on servers located inside India for Indian customers and outside India for International Customers.

You agree to these Terms by accessing or using any of our Services. If you do not agree to be bound by all of these Terms, including our Privacy Notice incorporated herein by reference, you should not access or use the Services.

THIS CONTRACT CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION WHICH MAY BE ENFORCED BY THE PARTIES. This agreement requires the use of binding arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions, and also limits the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute.

Materials may not be copied, reproduced, republished, modified, uploaded, posted, transmitted or distributed in any way nor may they be decompiled, reverse engineered or disassembled, except that you may download one copy of the Material on any single computer for your personal, non-commercial use, provided you keep intact all copyright, trademark and other proprietary notices and make no change in or deletion of author attribution. This limited authorization is not a transfer of title in the Materials, and, by your use of our Services, you acknowledge that you do not acquire any license, ownership or other rights in or to the Materials.

User Submissions

You and your agents are responsible for your User Submissions, including without limitation, any damages resulting from any infringement of copyright, patent, trademark, proprietary rights, or any other harm resulting from such a submission.

Your User Submissions must comply with the following:

  • You may not submit abusive, obscene, threatening, harassing, defamatory, libelous, offensive, violent, nude, partially nude, discriminatory, unlawful, infringing, hateful, pornographic or sexually suggestive User Submissions via our Services, or User Submissions that encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, violate any law, or are otherwise inappropriate.
  • You may not post advertisements, solicitations or spam links to other websites or individuals, without prior written permission from us.
  • You may not defame, stalk, bully, abuse, harass, threaten, impersonate or intimidate people or entities.
  • You may not make false or misleading statements.
  • You may not submit private, confidential or sensitive information unless specifically requested by us (e.g., providing credit card information to complete a purchase transaction via our Services).

It has been and remains our policy not to accept or consider ideas, suggestions or materials other than those that we have specifically requested from you. Any information or material you send to us will be deemed not to be confidential or proprietary. Our Services may now or in the future permit User Submissions and the hosting, sharing, and/or publishing of such User Submissions. No User Submissions are confidential whether published or not. You also acknowledge that the internet may be subject to breaches of security and that the submission of User Submissions or other information cannot be guaranteed to be secure.

You retain all of your ownership rights in your User Submissions. By submitting information and material via our Services, you automatically grant to us (or warrant that the owner of such information and material has expressly granted to us) a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, unrestricted, right and license to use, reproduce, display, perform, modify, adapt, publish, translate, transmit and distribute, or otherwise make available to others such information and material (in whole or in part) worldwide for any purpose, and/or to incorporate it in other works and for any purpose and in any form, media, or technology now known or hereafter developed. You also agree that we are free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques that you send to us for any purpose.

We reserve the right to determine in our sole discretion whether User Submissions are appropriate and comply with these Terms for reasons including without limitation, excessive length. We may, but have no obligation to, at any time, without prior notice and in our sole discretion, remove, edit, block, and/or monitor User Submissions or terminate a user’s access for submitting such material in violation of these Terms.

Our Services may allow for a live chat feature through a third-party provider. In that case, any communications that you have or content that you submit via the live chat feature (“Chat Data”) will be considered personal information and the use thereof is governed by our [link to privacy notice].  Our third-party provider implements security measures to protect the confidentiality of the transcript of the live chat it stores and your Chat Data is deleted approximately twelve (12) months after it is captured. However, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure or error-free, so it is not possible to guarantee absolute security of your Chat Data.

Third-Party Content and Linked Sites

When using our Services, you may be exposed to User Submissions submitted, posted or displayed by users from a variety of sources. We are not responsible for the accuracy, usefulness, safety, or intellectual property rights relating to such user posted content. You agree to waive any legal or equitable rights or remedies you have or may have against us with respect to the User Submissions of others to the fullest extent permitted by law.

We may provide links to other independent third-party websites (“Linked Sites”) as a convenience to you. If you use these links, you do so at your own risk. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, services, privacy policies, terms of use, or practices of any third-party websites. Inclusion of such content and links does not imply our sponsorship or endorsement of the same (including the information or materials appearing or any of products and services described on Linked Sites), our affiliation or association with any such content and links, or that any Linked Site is authorized to use any trademark, trade name, logo, or copyright of PoshVine, its subsidiaries or affiliates. We will not be a party to or in any way be responsible for monitoring any transaction between you and third-party providers of products or services. Your correspondence and business dealings with third parties found through our Services are solely between you and the third party.
