You agree to provide and maintain accurate, current, and complete information, including your contact information for notices and other communications from MiTek and, to the extent applicable, your payment information. In addition, you agree to take reasonable steps to maintain the security and confidentiality of your account, username, and password, and take responsibility for all activities under your account as a result of your failing to keep this information secure and confidential.

You agree to promptly notify MiTek of any unauthorized use of your account, username, or password, or any other breach of security that you become aware of involving your account, username, or password. You may not use anyone else’s account, username, or password without the express permission and consent of the owner of that information.

User Content
All information (other than personal information, which is governed by MiTek’s Privacy Policy), including text, images, photographs, videos, audio, music, artwork, data, and other materials that you submit or make available to MiTek through the Site or otherwise is referred to in these Terms of Use as “User Content.”

We do not claim ownership to your User Content; however, by making User Content available to MiTek through the Site or otherwise, you grant MiTek a royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive and fully sublicensable right and license under all copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, privacy and publicity rights, and other intellectual property rights to use, transmit, reproduce, distribute, copy, print, publish, publicly display, translate, create derivative works from, modify, adapt, make available, and otherwise exploit such User Content, in whole or in part, and to incorporate it in other works in any form, media or technology now known or hereafter devised in any number of copies and without limit as to time, manner and frequency of use, without further notice to you, with or without attribution, and without the requirement of permission from or payment to you or any other person or entity. You also waive and agree not to enforce any moral rights or similar rights in or to the User Content against MiTek or its licensees, agents, representatives, and other authorized users. The foregoing rights and licenses regarding User Content shall survive termination of these Terms of Use for any reason.

For all User Content, you represent and warrant that you own or have the right and permission, without the need for payment to any other person or entity, to grant the rights and licenses granted under these Terms of Use to the User Content, and that such User Content does not infringe or otherwise violate the copyright, trademark, trade secret, patent, privacy or other intellectual property or other rights of any third party. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold MiTek and its subsidiary and affiliated companies, and each of their respective employees and officers, harmless from any demands, loss, liability, claims or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), made against them by any third party arising out of or in connection with their use or exploitation of your User Content.

We have the right (but have no obligation) to monitor, screen, post, remove, modify, store, and review User Content at any time and for any reason, including to ensure that the User Content conforms to these Terms of Use, without prior notice to you. MiTek is not responsible for any decision, lack of decision, or delay in editing or removing User Content.

The opinions expressed in any User Content reflect solely the opinions of the individual(s) responsible for such User Content and may not reflect the opinions of MiTek. MiTek is not responsible for, and does not endorse, the opinions, views, advice, or recommendations reflected in User Content. In addition, MiTek has no control over the use or misuse by any third party of User Content voluntarily made public through the Site. If you choose to make any of your personally identifiable or other information publicly available in User Content or otherwise, you do so solely at your own risk.

Feedback and Information
Unless agreed to by MiTek in advance and in writing, any ideas or feedback (“submissions”), including ideas for new or improved products or technologies, product or service enhancements, processes, materials, or marketing plans, that you submit to MiTek, solicited or unsolicited, will be deemed to be non-confidential, and MiTek will be free to use and exploit such information on an unrestricted basis with no expectation by you of review, compensation or consideration of any type.

In particular, you agree that: (i) your submissions will automatically become the property of MiTek, without any compensation to you; (ii) MiTek may use or exploit the submissions for any purpose and in any way; (iii) there is no obligation for MiTek to review the submissions; (iv) there is no obligation to keep any submissions confidential; and (v) there is no fiduciary or other obligation placed on MiTek by virtue of your submissions.

To help avoid potential misunderstandings if MiTek’s products, services, or marketing strategies might seem similar to ideas or feedback submitted by you, please do not submit any unsolicited submissions in any form to MiTek or any of its employees. Any unsolicited submissions that you nonetheless voluntarily choose to provide will be treated as described in the preceding paragraphs.

Copyright Infringement Notice
If you believe in good faith that materials available on the Site infringe your copyright, then you or your representative may send MiTek a written notice requesting that MiTek remove such material or block access to the materials to copyright@mii.com. The written notice should include the following information (please consult your legal counsel or see Section 512(c)(3) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) to confirm these requirements):

• an electronic or physical signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
• identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
• a description of where the material is located on the Site reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material. Providing URLs in the body of an email is the best way to help locate content quickly.
• your address, telephone number, and e-mail address.
• a statement of your good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• a statement by you, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.

We recommend that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice. Please be aware that there are penalties for false claims under the DMCA.

Prohibited Use of the Site
You may not use any scraper, robot, spider or other automated or manual process to access, copy, or monitor any portion of the Site or Content without MiTek’s express written permission. Legitimate search engine indexing is permitted.

You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, or any server, equipment, or network connected to the Site by hacking, password “mining,” or any other illegitimate means, nor breach or attempt to breach the security or authentication measures on the Site or any server, equipment, or network connected to the Site.

You may not obtain or attempt to obtain information of any other user of the Site, including accessing or attempting to access any account not owned by you.

You may not take any action that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on the infrastructure of the Site, or any server, equipment, or network connected to the Site.

You may not knowingly or recklessly introduce any computer virus or any other harmful computer code, files, or program (including, without limitation ransomware, worms, Trojan horses, rootkits, keyloggers, dialers, spyware, adware, or rogue security software) that will or is intended to interrupt, impair, destroy, damage, or limit the functionality of the Site or any server, equipment, or network connected to the Site.

Changes to Terms; Termination of Access
MiTek reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change these Terms of Use from time to time by posting a revised version of these Terms of Use through the Site. It is your responsibility to check these Terms of Use periodically for changes. If you do not agree to any change to these Terms of Use, you must discontinue accessing or using the Site. Your access to and use of the Site following the posting of changes to these Terms of Use will constitute your acceptance of any such changes. Changes will not apply to any dispute between you and MiTek arising prior to the date on which MiTek posted the revised Terms of Use incorporating such changes. The “Last Updated” date below indicates when these Terms of Use were last changed.

MiTek may, at any time in its sole discretion and without prior notice, modify or remove all or part of the Site or Content, or charge, modify or waive any fees required to access or use the Site or Content. You agree that MiTek shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification or removal of the Site or Content, including software available through the Site.

Violation of These Terms of Use; Remedies
MiTek may, at any time in its sole discretion and without prior notice, terminate or block your access to or use of the Site or Content, if it determines that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Use or upon request by law enforcement or other government agencies. In such event, you agree that MiTek may immediately and without notice to you deactivate or delete your account, username and password, and all related information and files associated with it.

You agree that any violation by you of these Terms of Use will constitute an unlawful and unfair business practice, and will cause irreparable harm to MiTek, for which monetary damages would be inadequate, and you consent to MiTek obtaining any injunctive or equitable relief that MiTek deems necessary or appropriate in such circumstances. These remedies are in addition to any other remedies MiTek may have at law or in equity.

Upon termination for any reason, your right to access and use the Site and Content, including software available through the Site, will immediately cease. You agree that MiTek will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Site or Content, nor will MiTek be required to make any information or files available to you after any such termination.

If MiTek takes any legal action against you as a result of your violation of these Terms of Use, it will be entitled to recover from you, and you agree to pay, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of such action, in addition to any other relief granted to MiTek.
