By registering for an account to use the Service, the User is deemed to have agreed to these Terms as of the time of registration. If the User does not agree to these Terms, the User must not use the Service.

Due to the wide range of services offered as part of the Service, additional terms and conditions (the “Additional Terms”) may apply. Any applicable Additional Terms will be made available within the relevant portion of the Service. Such Additional Terms shall form part of the agreement between the User and the Company.

The Company may amend these Terms or any Additional Terms as necessary. Any amendments to these Terms will be posted on this page, and any amendments to the Additional Terms will be posted within the applicable portion of the Service. If the User uses the applicable Service after any such amendment to these Terms or the Additional Terms, the amended terms shall form part of the agreement between the User and the Company. If the User does not agree to any such amendment, the User must discontinue use of the Service.

The Company may, at any time and without prior notice to the User, modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, including its content or specifications.

If the User is a minor, the User must obtain the prior consent of their parent, legal guardian, or other legal representative before using the Service. The Company may contact the User’s legal representative to verify whether such consent has been obtained. The Company reserves the right to refuse access to or use of the Service by any person who is or has previously been a member of an organized crime group or other antisocial force, any person affiliated or associated with such groups or forces, or any User who misuses the Service or engages in conduct that causes harm, inconvenience, or disturbance to any third party.

An internet connection is required to use this website and to access any third-party services, content, or resources through the Service. The User shall be responsible for all internet access, data usage, and other communication charges incurred in connection with such use.

The Company may conduct a review of the User’s eligibility to enter into or continue an agreement for use of the Service (“Contract Review”) in accordance with the Company’s prescribed criteria when the User applies to use the Service or after the User has used the Service for a certain period of time. In connection with a Contract Review, the Company may contact the User for additional information or request that the User provide or present documents deemed necessary for the review. If the User does not satisfy the Company’s Contract Review criteria, the Company will decline to enter into an agreement with the User if an agreement has not yet been entered into, or will immediately terminate the agreement if the User is already using the Service under an existing agreement. The Company may modify its Contract Review criteria from time to time in response to changes in applicable laws and regulations, the User’s use of the Service, social conditions, or other relevant circumstances. The Company does not publicly disclose its Contract Review criteria and will not respond to inquiries regarding the details of the review process or the reasons for, or results of, any Contract Review.

An account may be required to use the Service. When registering for an account with the Service, the User shall comply with the following requirements:

• The User must not provide false personal information or create an account for another person without that person’s authorization.
• The User must not create more than one personal account.
• If the User’s account has been suspended by the Company, the User must not create another account without the Company’s permission.

Any profile information for which the User is not provided with an option to select or restrict its visibility will be publicly available and may be viewed by anyone.

The Company shall have no obligation to back up any data provided or stored by the User in connection with the Service. The User is solely responsible for creating and maintaining any backups that the User considers necessary. Except as otherwise provided in these Terms, the User retains all ownership rights in and to any content submitted, uploaded, or otherwise provided by the User through the Service, including, without limitation, text, photographs, portfolios, and other materials (collectively, “User Content”). For the avoidance of doubt, ownership of User Content is not transferred to the Company solely by reason of the User’s submission or use of such User Content through the Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights in and to content created by the Company on behalf of the User shall belong to the Company. With respect to User Content that the User posts or makes available through the Service under settings that allow access by the general public or an unspecified or large number of users, the User grants the Company and its business partners a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license, without limitation as to the number of uses or duration, to use such User Content, including by reproducing, publicly performing or presenting, publicly transmitting, displaying, distributing, transferring, renting, translating, adapting, and publishing such User Content. The User agrees not to assert any objection to such use.

If a fixed contract term applies to the Service, the agreement will automatically renew upon expiration of the initial contract term unless otherwise provided in the Additional Terms or other applicable terms. To terminate the agreement or prevent automatic renewal, the User must complete the termination or non-renewal procedures prescribed by the Company prior to the expiration of the then-current contract term.

The Company and the User shall keep confidential any Confidential Information disclosed by the other party in connection with the use of the Service. For purposes of these Terms, “Confidential Information” means any business or technical information of the disclosing party that is maintained as confidential by the disclosing party and is expressly identified as confidential at the time of disclosure. Confidential Information shall not include any information that: (i) was publicly known at the time of disclosure; (ii) becomes publicly known after disclosure without any breach of a confidentiality obligation; (iii) is lawfully obtained from a third party, either before or after disclosure, without any obligation of confidentiality; or (iv) is independently developed without reference to or reliance upon the Confidential Information. Neither party shall, without the prior consent of the other party, use the other party’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than the performance of the agreement between the Company and the User relating to the Service, or disclose or divulge such Confidential Information to any third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may disclose Confidential Information to the minimum extent necessary if such disclosure is required by a judicial or administrative authority pursuant to applicable laws or regulations or the rules of a financial instruments exchange. The confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section shall survive for three (3) years following the termination or expiration of the agreement between the Company and the User relating to the Service.

In any of the following circumstances, the Company may, without prior notice to the User, delete the User’s data, content, or account, or suspend the provision of the Service to the User. If the User has registered multiple accounts, the Company may take the same measures with respect to all such accounts.

• If the User violates these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms, or if the Company determines that there is a risk of such violation;
