You, the end-user of the Software, acknowledge that the Agreement is entered into by and between PolicySpot and you and not with Apple, Inc. or its subsidiaries (“Apple”). You also acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the Software.
Your use of the Software constitutes your acceptance of the terms of this Agreement, which may be amended from time to time by PolicySpot. The most recent version of this Agreement shall always be available on the Internet at https://thepolicyspot.com/EULA-App PolicySpot reserves the right to change or modify this Agreement or any other PolicySpot policies related to use of the Software or Services at any time, and at its sole discretion, by posting revisions on the Internet at https://thepolicyspot.com/EULA-App. Continued use of the Software and Services following the posting of these changes or modifications will constitute acceptance of such changes or modifications.

PolicySpot is not obligated to provide any updates or upgrades to the Software.
A. Generally.
The Software may enable access to PolicySpot’s and Third-Party services and web sites (collectively and individually, “Services”). Use of the Services may require Internet access and you accept additional terms of service by making use of these Internet-accessible Services.
You understand that by using any of the Services, you may encounter content that may be deemed offensive, indecent, or objectionable, which content may or may not be identified as having explicit language, and that the Third Parties’ results of any search or entering of a particular URL may automatically and unintentionally generate links or references to objectionable material. You agree to use the Services at your sole risk and that PolicySpot shall not have any liability to you for content that may be found to be offensive, indecent, or objectionable. You acknowledge that the content you encounter does not necessarily reflect the opinions or policies of PolicySpot.
Certain Services may display, include or make available content, data, information, applications or materials from (“Third-Party Materials”) or provide links to certain Third-Party web sites. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that PolicySpot is not responsible for examining or evaluating the content, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, validity, copyright compliance, legality, decency, quality or any other aspect of such Third-Party Materials or web sites. PolicySpot does not warrant or endorse and does not assume and will not have any liability or responsibility to you or any other person for any Third-Party Services, Third-Party Materials or web sites, or for any other materials, products, or services of Third Parties. Third-Party Materials and links to other web sites are provided solely as a convenience to you. Location data provided by any of the Services is for basic navigational purposes only and is not intended to be relied upon in situations where precise location information is needed or where erroneous, inaccurate or incomplete location data may lead to death, personal injury, property or environmental damage. Neither PolicySpot, nor any of its content providers, guarantees the availability, accuracy, completeness, reliability, or location data displayed by any of the Services.
You agree that the Services contain proprietary content, information and material that is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws, including but not limited to copyright, and that you will not use such proprietary content, information or materials in any way whatsoever except for permitted use of the Services. No portion of the Services may be reproduced in any form or by any means. You agree not to modify, rent, lease, loan, sell, distribute, or create derivative works based on the Services, in any manner, and you shall not exploit the Services in any unauthorized way whatsoever, including but not limited to, by trespass or burdening network capacity.
You further agree not to use the Services in any manner to harass, abuse, stalk, threaten, defame or otherwise infringe or violate the rights of any other party, and that PolicySpot is not in any way responsible for any such use by you, nor for any harassing, threatening, defamatory, offensive or illegal messages or transmissions that you may receive as a result of using any of the Services.
In addition, Third-Party Services and Third-Party Materials that may be accessed from, displayed on or linked to from the Apple Computing Device are not available in all languages or in all countries. PolicySpot makes no representation that such Services and Materials are appropriate or available for use in any particular location. To the extent you choose to access such Services or Materials, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with any applicable laws, including but not limited to, applicable local laws.
PolicySpot reserves the right to change, suspend, remove, terminate, or disable access to any Services for any or no reason at any time without notice. In no event will PolicySpot be liable for the removal of, termination, or disabling of access to any such Services. PolicySpot may also impose limits on the use of or access to certain Services, in any case, and without notice or liability.
B. Policy Display Service (the “PDS”).
i. Scope Of The PDS.
The PDS is a Service provided by PolicySpot to you. To use this Service, upload to PolicySpot’s servers one policy to be shared with your family, friends, and other users of the PDS (“the public”). PolicySpot may examine your policy and determine, in its complete discretion, whether there are technical or non-technical issues with hosting your polciy. If there are no disqualifying issues with your policy, PolicySpot will host your policy. You will then be able to share your document via e-mail or other social media networks with your family, friends, and the public – all of whom can view on your uploaded policy.
ii. Representations And Warranties From The Purchaser.
The PDS is a Service provided by PolicySpot to you. To use this Service, upload to PolicySpot’s servers one policy to be shared with your family, friends, and other users of the PDS (“the public”). PolicySpot may examine your policy and determine, in its complete discretion, whether there are technical or non-technical issues with hosting your polciy. If there are no disqualifying issues with your policy, PolicySpot will host your policy. You will then be able to share your document via e-mail or other social media networks with your family, friends, and the public – all of whom can view on your uploaded policy.
iii. Review Of Policy Uploaded To PDS.
You agree that each policy you upload to the PDS may be reviewed by PolicySpot for potential technical, non-technical or decency issues, such as: being out of focus, lacking sharpness, or sufficient resolution to display your policy; containing offensive, indecent, or objectionable behavior or content; violating the rights of any person or entity; or harming or threatening the safety of any person or entity. You agree that PolicySpot may reject, remove, ban, delete or refuse to post a policy for any or no reason. You agree to waive any right to contest any decision by PolicySpot to reject, remove, ban, delete, or refuse to host a policy.
iv. Use Of Your Policy Docs By PolicySpot.
PolicySpot does not claim ownership of any documents you upload. However, PolicySpot does need certain rights from you, with respect to your documents, in order to operate the PDS. Therefore, with respect to your documents, you grant PolicySpot a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, fully sub-licensable license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify and publicly display your documents (in whole or in part) for the purposes of operating the PDS and enabling your use of the PDS. For example, if your uploaded document is deemed acceptable (see Section 5.B.iv), then PolicySpot will host your document and you will be able to share your document via e-mail or other social media networks with your family, friends, and the public – all of whom can view on your uploaded document.
The Software and the PDS display advertisements and promotions, and you agree that PolicySpot may place such advertisements and promotions on, about, or in conjunction with your documents. The manner, mode and extent of such advertising and promotion are subject to change without specific notice to you.
You agree that PolicySpot shall have the right to archive copies of any document you upload to the PDS, and to use a copy of that document to promote this Software now and in the future.
You agree that PolicySpot can track views upon any document you upload using whatever tools are available.
v. Use Of Your Personal Information.
In order to upload documents to the PDS, you are required to provide an e-mail address. If you choose not to provide an e-mail address, you may not be able to use certain features of the Software or the PDS. By entering your e-mail address you agree that PolicySpot can use your e-mail address to identify your documents and to send you electronic communications, with opt-out details, concerning PolicySpot, the Software and Services. PolicySpot will not distribute, rent or sell your e-mail address. No other personal information will be collected by the Software.
You have the option of utilizing the Software or PDS to share your uploaded documents with your friends, family and the public through e-mails and social media networks including Facebook and Twitter. In order to facilitate the sharing of your photographs on social media networks, the Software may store your social media network information on your Apple Computing Device, but that information is not shared with PolicySpot.
We may place e-mail links or forms in the Software or PDS to allow you to contact PolicySpot. It is always your choice whether or not to provide any personal information.
Location Based Information. PolicySpot does not collect personally identifying location-based data from you through the Software or PDS. You agree that PolicySpot may collect location-based data from you through the Software, and may use this information, as long as it is in a form that does not personally identify you (see Section 19). You will have the ability to utilize social media network location services which inherently share personally identifying location-based data, and are governed by EULAs, Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policies specific to those services.
International Transfers. Your e-mail address and non-personally identifying location-based information collected through the Software or PDS may be processed in the United States or another country outside the one in which you reside. By using the Software or PDS, you agree to any such transfer of information outside of your country.
PolicySpot’s most current Privacy Policy, available at https://thepolicyspot.com/ privacy-policy , applies to use of the PDS, and its terms are made a part of this EULA by this reference.
vi. Removal Of Document.

PolicySpot cannot guarantee and does not promise any specific results from use of the PolicySpot Services.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations on applicable statutory rights of a consumer, so the above exclusion and limitations may not apply to you.
To the extent not prohibited by law, in no event shall PolicySpot be liable for personal injury, or any incidental, special, indirect or consequential damages whatsoever, including, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, loss of data, business interruption or any other commercial damages or losses, arising out of or related to your use or inability to use the Software or Services, however caused, regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort or otherwise) and even if PolicySpot has been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall PolicySpot’s total liability to you for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable law in cases involving personal injury) exceed the amount price paid for the Software, if any. The foregoing limitations will apply even if the above stated remedy fails of its essential purpose.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of liability for personal injury, or of incidental or consequential damages, so this limitation may not apply to you.
You agree to indemnify and hold PolicySpot, its subsidiaries, and affiliates, and their respective officers, agents, partners and employees, harmless from any loss, liability, claim or demand, including reasonable attorney’s fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your use of the Software or Services in violation of this Agreement, arising from a breach of this Agreement, any breach in your representations or warranties, or if any photograph you upload to the Services causes PolicySpot to be liable to another.

(a) into any U.S. embargoed countries or

The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
PolicySpot’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision or part of a provision of this Agreement is held to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision shall be deemed severable from this Agreement and not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
