Registration – Basic/Plus Membership; Refund Policy

In order to use certain Services, you must become a registered user of the UTYP Site. You agree that UTYP Site user names may be refused, changed, removed or replaced by us for reasons including, but not limited to, using a user name to impersonate another person, if a user name is offensive or violates third party intellectual property, etc . Please note that your user name may be viewed by the public, so you should not choose a user name that personally identifies you.

If you elect to register to use the Services (whether as a basic member, or as a paid subscriber to UTYP Plus), utilize the UTYP Site and/or participate in any UTYP promotions, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the UTYP registration form (such information being the "Registration Data") and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it accurate. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, or UTYP has reasonable grounds to suspect that such is the case, UTYP has the right to suspend or terminate your account (including paid, membership accounts) and refuse any and all current or future use of the UTYP Site and/or Services (or any portion thereof).

In addition to any other Registration Data, to register on the UTYP Site you will be required to choose a password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any password you may use to access the Services, and agree not to transfer your user name or password, or lend or otherwise transfer your use of or access to the Services, to any third party. You are fully responsible for all activity that occurs in connection with your user name or password. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your user name or password or any other breach of security related to your account or the Services, and to ensure that you "log off"/exit from your account (if applicable) at the end of each session. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with any of the foregoing obligations.

At any time you may elect to become a "Plus" member of the UTYP Site by subscribing to UTYP Plus and paying the associated subscription fee(s). UTYP Plus members have greater storage and bandwidth allocations, and may have access to more areas, functions and types of Services than basic members. For an in depth description of the UTYP Plus-specific services and benefits, as well as current pricing and subscription offerings, click here.

UTYP Plus subscriptions may be subject to certain state, local or other relevant taxes. Annual subscribers to UTYP Plus (as well as subscribers to multi-month subscriptions, should we make such subscription terms available) shall have thirty (30) days from the date of subscription to cancel their subscription for a full refund. If monthly subscriptions are offered, monthly subscribers to UTYP Plus shall have five (5) days from the date of subscription to cancel their subscription for a full refund. After the cancellation period, purchases of UTYP Plus subscriptions become FINAL and non-refundable, except in our sole and absolute discretion. At that point, you cannot return or cancel your subscription for a refund, and if your account is cancelled or terminated by you or by us, for any reason, you will lose and forfeit the remaining time on your subscription. The default setting for subscriptions is an annual, auto-renewing subscription. This means that each year on your subscription anniversary date, you will be charged the prevailing rate for an additional one-year subscription renewal. We may also offer shorter or longer term subscriptions (including monthly; multi-month – e.g., 3-month or 6-months at a time; or multi-year), which will also default to auto-renew. If you have signed up for an automatically-renewing subscription, you will have the ability to cancel any future renewals. If you have questions, feel free to contact subscriptions@UTYP.net.

Please note: Payments for Plus subscriptions are processed by a third party service provider and governed by separate Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. For further information click here.

Profile Page

When you register for a UTYP Site account, a profile page will automatically be created for you and certain Registration Data will automatically be pre-populated in your profile page, including user name, profile image, the date you registered as a UTYP Site user, and your gender. You may choose to add information (such as interests, personal description and location) to or delete certain information from your profile page, but your user name and the date you registered as a UTYP Site user are required information for your profile page. Your profile page will also automatically display activity and any materials you have uploaded or otherwise submitted via the Services and marked "Public". Please note that your profile page (including any comments that may have been left for you) may be viewed by other users, so you should not include any information in your profile page that you do not want others to see.

Material Storage and Delivery; Termination of Inactive Accounts

The amount of storage space and bandwidth per member may be limited (and may differ between basic members and Plus subscribers). The amount of storage space and bandwidth allocated to Plus subscribers, however, shall not be reduced during a subscriber's then current subscription term. UTYP may change the amount of storage space and/or bandwidth allocated to members from time-to-time, in its discretion.

Basic accounts may be terminated and/or deleted from our system if they remain inactive for a period of ninety (90) or more days; Plus accounts will remain active until the end of the subscription term. In the event of a suspension or deletion of an account (whether basic or Plus), materials (whether pictures, still images, Forum posts, submissions or other communications) may no longer be accessible.

Accounts may be archived, or materials may be purged at such time intervals as UTYP or its third party service provider(s) determine in their sole discretion. Some materials may not be stored, served or processed due to space constraints, serving/bandwidth limitations or disruptions in the system(s). You agree that UTYP is not responsible or liable for the deletion or failure to store, serve or process any materials or other information.

UTYP's Privacy Policy

Pursuant to UTYP's Privacy Policy, we may disclose to third parties certain information contained in your Registration Data or related data unless you choose to opt out from such disclosures. Please note: opting out may restrict your ability to utilize certain of the Services. We may also disclose such information if we have a good faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary to comply with the law, legal process, or to enforce these Terms of Service. For more information, please see our full Privacy Policy.

Channels, Groups, Forums & Comments

UTYP offers users the ability to create "channels" or "groups" focused on a particular area of interest, and also offers access to Forums as part of the Services. A "Forum" refers to a bulletin board, virtual community or other means for users to engage in public commentary or discussion, which may be found in various areas of the UTYP Site, including within channels and groups. You may make "comments" throughout the UTYP Site, sharing your opinions about others' content or send messages to individual users, as applicable. Channels, groups, comments and Forums are offered for, non-commercial use only. You shall not, without UTYP's express written approval, distribute or otherwise publish via any of the Services any material containing any solicitation of funds, promotion, advertising, or solicitation for goods or services.

As with all Services, your privilege to create channels and groups, make comments and to participate in the Forums is dependent on your continued compliance with these Terms of Service, specifically including the COMMUNITY STANDARDS AND CONDUCT policy below. UTYP may revoke your privileges, terminate your registration/account or take any other measures deemed by UTYP to be appropriate, in its sole discretion, to enforce these Terms of Service if violations are brought to our attention. You agree that UTYP may change, remove or replace any channel or group name for any reason. We may refuse to grant you, and you may not use, a UTYP channel or group name that is already being used by someone else; that may be construed as impersonating a company or another person; that belongs to a company or another person; that violates the intellectual property or other rights of any entity or person; that is offensive; or that we reject for any other reason. Please note that channel and group names may be viewed by the public, so you should not choose a channel or group name that personally identifies you.

A NOTE ABOUT COMMUNICATION PRIVACY: You should consider all communications to be public and not private communications. Although UTYP reserves the right to remove without notice any Forum posting for any reason, we have no obligation to delete content that you may find objectionable or offensive.

Because UTYP has no control over such sites and resources, you acknowledge and agree that UTYP is not responsible for the availability of such external sites or resources, and does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any Submission, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such sites or resources.

Termination and Modification

In addition to any other rights or remedies available to it, UTYP reserves the right to immediately suspend, terminate, access and investigate the user account of any user upon receipt of a subpoena or law enforcement request, or when UTYP believes, in its sole discretion, that a user is transmitting or is otherwise connected with the distribution of unsolicited bulk email messages (SPAM) or any harassing email messages or Forum posts, or with any fraudulent, misleading, illegal or otherwise objectionable activities. Because of the difficulty associated with quantifying damages, if actual damages cannot be reasonably calculated then you agree to pay UTYP liquidated damages of $5 for each piece of unsolicited bulk email transmitted from or otherwise connected with your account or the maximum liquidated damages permitted under law, whichever is greater; otherwise you agree to pay UTYP's actual damages, to the extent such actual damages can be reasonably calculated.

You agree that any termination of your access to the Services under any provision of this Terms of Service may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that UTYP may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Services.

You acknowledge that the UTYP Site and Services contain information, software, photos, picture, text, graphics, music, sounds or other material (collectively, "Content") that are protected by copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade secrets or other proprietary rights, and that these rights are valid and protected in all forms, media and technologies existing now or hereafter developed. All UTYP-generated Content and Content provided to UTYP by its partners and licensors is copyrighted individually and/or as a collective work under the U.S. copyright laws; further, UTYP owns a copyright in the selection, coordination, arrangement and enhancement of all Content and in the UTYP Site as a whole. Subject to your compliance with the TOS, and solely for so long as you are permitted by us to access and use the Services, you may download one copy of the materials on any single computer for your personal, non-commercial home use only, provided you keep intact all copyright and other proprietary notices, and are in compliance with these Terms of Service. Unless otherwise specified, modification of the Content or use of the Content for any other purpose, including use of any such Content on any other Web site or networked computer environment is strictly prohibited. In the event you download software provided by the UTYP Site, the software, including any files, images incorporated in or generated by the software, and data accompanying the software (collectively, the "Software") are licensed to you by us. We do not transfer title to the Software to you. Except as otherwise expressly authorized in writing in advance by us, you agree not to reproduce, redistribute, sell, modify, rent, lease, loan, adapt, translate, create derivative works based (whether in whole or in part) on, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or otherwise reduce all or any part of the Services, including the UTYP Site, the Content or the Software.

The UTYP name and logo(s) are the exclusive property of nThinking, (HK) LTD. or its affiliates. All other trademarks appearing on the Services are trademarks of their respective owners. Our partners or service providers may also have additional proprietary rights in the content which they make available through the Services. The trade names, trademarks and service marks owned by us, whether registered or unregistered, may not be used in connection with any product or service that is not ours, in any manner that is likely to cause confusion. Nothing contained on the Services should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any license or right to use any of our trade names, trademarks or service marks without our express prior written consent.

Third Party Intellectual Property; Copyright Notifications

UTYP respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. UTYP may, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, terminate the accounts of users who infringe the intellectual property rights of others. UTYP will remove infringing materials in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act if properly notified that content infringes copyright. Our DMCA Notifications and Counter-Notifications process is available here, and is hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service.

If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide UTYP's Copyright Agent with a written notification containing all of the requisite information.

Similarly, if you believe that your work has been removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, please provide the UTYP's Copyright Agent with a written counter-notification containing all of the requisite information.

Electronic Delivery/Notice Policy and Your Consent

By using the Services, you consent to receive from UTYP all communications including notices, agreements, legally required disclosures or other information in connection with the Services (collectively, "Contract Notices") electronically. UTYP may provide such electronic Contract Notices by posting them on the UTYP Site. If you desire to withdraw your consent to receive Contract Notices electronically, you must discontinue your use of the UTYP Site and Services.

Governing Law and Other Miscellaneous Terms

These Terms of Service (and any further rules, policies or guidelines incorporated by reference herein) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law, and without application of the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act or the United Nations Convention of Controls for International Sale of Goods. You agree that the UTYP Site (and all Services) is deemed a passive website that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over UTYP or its respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, employees, agents, directors, officers or shareholders, either specific or general, in any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these terms, or your use or non-use of the Services, shall be filed only in the state or federal courts located in New York County in the State of New York and you hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action. You hereby irrevocably waive any right you may have to trial by jury in any such dispute, action or proceeding.

These Terms of Service (and any further policies or documents incorporated by reference herein) constitute the entire understanding between UTYP and users of the UTYP Site and Services concerning the subject matter hereof and may not be modified except by revised Terms of Service posted by UTYP. These Terms of Service, which may be modified or amended by UTYP from time to time, in its sole discretion, supersedes all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or verbal with respect to the subject matter hereof. If any of the provisions of these Terms of Service will contravene, or be invalid under, the laws of the particular jurisdiction where performed, such contravention or invalidity will not invalidate the whole agreement, rather these Terms of Service will be construed as if not containing the particular provision or provisions held invalid, and the rights and obligations of the parties will be construed and enforced accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the TOS does not modify, alter or amend any other specific agreement you have entered or will enter into with UTYP. To the extent that any provision of the TOS, or any supplemental agreement offered as any part of any registration for additional services on the UTYP Site or within the Services, conflicts with any provision of your other agreements with UTYP, the terms and conditions of such other agreement shall, take precedence over the conflicting term(s) and conditions of this TOS, unless otherwise expressly provided in such other agreement.

No failure or delay by UTYP in exercising any right or privilege under these Terms of Service will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or privilege under these Terms of Service. If any provision of these Terms of Service shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

These Terms of Service are binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors, heirs, executor, administrators, personal representatives and permitted assigns. Users may not assign their rights or obligations hereunder without UTYP's prior written consent.
