a. Ownership.

You acknowledge and agree that, as between You and Prepear, Prepear is the sole and exclusive owner of the Prepear Site, all Tools, Services and any other content provided by Prepear, and all rights, titles and interest therein and in all intellectual property rights therein. Prepear reserves all rights in and to the Tools and Services not expressly granted to You in this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that Prepear is the sole and exclusive owner of the Prepear Marks and all rights, titles and interest therein and in all intellectual property rights therein. You further agree that all use of Prepear Marks inures to Prepear’s benefit. You shall not take any action inconsistent with such ownership and You agree not to adopt, use, or attempt to register any trademarks or trade names that are confusingly similar to the Prepear Marks or use the Prepear Marks in such a way as to create combination marks with the Prepear Marks. You acknowledge and agree that, except with respect to the trademark license granted in Section 2(e), Prepear does not grant any other licenses to any other trademarks, service marks, or trade names owned by Prepear, its affiliates, or any third party. At Prepear’s request (in its discretion), You agree to discontinue promptly all use and display of the Prepear Marks.

b. Access and License for Tools.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Prepear grants to You a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, limited license to (a) access and use the Software through the Prepear Site solely for the purpose of operating a page using the Tools and Services on which You offer products, services and content (“Your Page”), and (b) download an App to a compatible mobile device solely to provide access to Your Page and so You can process transactions and communicate with Your users in connection with Your Page.

c. Restrictions.

You acknowledge that the Tools and their look and feel, structure, organization and source code constitute valuable intellectual property of Prepear. Accordingly, except as expressly allowed under Section 2(b), You will not, either directly or indirectly, (a) modify, adapt, alter, translate or create derivative works from the Tools; (b) distribute, sublicense, lease, rent, loan or otherwise transfer the Tools to any third party; (c) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code for the Tools, except as expressly allowed by law, or (d) transfer Your interest in and to Your Page to any third party, except as allowed under Section 14(e).

d. Apps.

Some Apps are only available for certain mobile devices. Prepear may update, change and discontinue which devices are available from time to time. An App may not be compatible with Your mobile device. No mobile device is compatible if it has been modified from the manufacturer’s software or hardware guidelines, including any disabling of controls, “jail breaking” the device or adding malware. Use of such a modified mobile device with an App or the Services is expressly prohibited and is grounds for termination of this Agreement, Your use of the Tools, Services, and Your Page.

With all Apps, You are responsible for:

  • Determining compatibility with Your mobile device;
  • Understanding whether the terms of Your agreement with Your mobile device manufacturer and mobile service carrier apply to Your use of the App;
  • Controlling access to and use of Your mobile device to prevent the bypassing, disabling, or overriding of any restrictions, security measures, or other limitations of an App or Your device and to prevent malware or other malicious code from being introduced to Your mobile device; and
  • Complying with all third party terms, including those of the applicable app provider, such as Apple or Google. This Agreement is between Prepear and You. The app store service providers, such as Apple and Google, are not a party to this Agreement and are not responsible for the App or for furnishing You maintenance and support services with respect to the App.

You acknowledge and agree that the app store service provider from which You downloaded the Apps is a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and may therefore enforce the terms of this Agreement against You.

e. Trademark License and Restrictions.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Prepear grants to You a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license (without the right to grant sublicenses) to display those trademarks that Prepear provides to You under this Agreement (“Prepear Marks”), solely for display on those locations on Your Page’s web pages or on promotional materials for Your Page, including on a website You own or control that is linked to Your Page, or in connection with an App as designated by Prepear in its discretion, and that Prepear may periodically change from time to time. Prepear grants no rights in the Prepear Marks other than those expressly granted in this Section 2(e).

You further agree to use Prepear Marks only in conformance with Prepear’s guidelines, which Prepear may change from time to time, and to obtain Prepear’s approval prior to using the Prepear Marks in any manner that is inconsistent with Prepear’s guidelines.
