Terms and Conditions
Last update: 13 February 2016 (to replace references to "tny. internet media" with "Segvault"; the text was not altered except for this)
These terms and conditions apply to those looking to use the service from an single individual perspective, that is, to create accounts and use them for authenticating. Developers and owners of "External Services" (defined in the terms) must agree to special terms and conditions, in addition to the following ones. These terms are to be made available to the relevant parties at appropriate times.
TL;DR
Because reading legalese is rarely interesting, here is a summary:
- We can modify the terms at any time, and changes will be effective after 30 days, or we may prompt you to agree to the new terms. The date at the top of this page will indicate when the last change was made.
- We don't have to notify you or anyone to correct minor problems with the terms (spelling, grammar) that do not change their meaning.
- The services you use dotAccount to authenticate against are governed by different terms and conditions and privacy policies. You should read the terms of these services.
- You are responsible for the security of your account and the information associated with it.
- We won't make your personal information public, but services you use with dotAccount may. Note that personal information (other than the username) is only given to these services that request it, and only when you sign in to them (you'll be notified).
- You agree not to "hack" dotAccount or other users' accounts (note, however, that responsible disclosure of any security problems is appreciated).
- Our logo and design is copyrighted, and you may not reverse-engineer the system.
- We are not responsible by websites linking to dotAccount pages or links in dotAccount to other websites.
- If you don't follow the rules, we'll close your account.
Note that this summary holds no legal value.
Please read the following terms and conditions ("Terms") carefully before using the https://dotaccount.tny.im website ("dotAccount", the "Service"). These Terms apply to your access and use of dotAccount. If you don't agree to all of the terms below, please do not use the Service. Also, if a term does not make sense to you, please let us know by contacting us.
Changes to these Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. For instance, we may need to change these Terms if we come out with a new feature or for some other reason.
Whenever we make changes to these Terms, the changes are effective 30 days after we post such revised Terms (indicated by revising the date at the top of these Terms) or upon your acceptance if we provide a mechanism for your immediate acceptance of the revised Terms (such as a click-through confirmation or acceptance button). It is your responsibility to check dotAccount for changes to these Terms.
We also reserve the right to make changes to the Terms effective immediately and without notice, if the changes do not alter the spirit of the Terms. For instance, changes may be effective immediately when they constitute grammar or spelling corrections, as long as these do not alter the meaning of the Terms.
If you continue to use the Service after the revised Terms go into effect, then you have accepted the changes to these Terms.
Privacy Policy
For information about how we collect and use information about users of the Service, please check out our privacy policy available at https://dotaccount.tny.im/privacy.php.
External and Third-Party Services
From time to time, we may provide you with links to other websites or services we own, third party websites or services that we do not own or control ("External Services"). Your use of the Service may also include or relate to the use of External Services, that are developed or owned by us or a third party, but governed under different terms and conditions. For instance, you may use the Service to authenticate against an External Service. Your use of such External Services is governed by that application's own terms of service or privacy policies. We encourage you to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of any External Service that you visit or use.
Creating Accounts
When you create an account or use another service to sign in to the Service, you agree to maintain the security of your password and accept all risks of unauthorized access to any data or other information you provide to the Service.
If you discover or suspect any Service security breaches, please let us know as soon as possible, in a responsible way, adequate to the apparent proportion of the breach.
Your Content & Conduct
Our Service allows you to submit personal information ("Content"), which is not made public by dotAccount, but may be transmitted to External Services at your sole discretion (by agreeing to "permissions" when signing in to a External Service through dotAccount) and eventually made public, in accordance to the terms and conditions of these External Services. You are responsible for the Content that you make available to the Service and External Services, including its legality, reliability, and appropriateness.
Aside from our limited right to your Content, you retain all of your rights to the Content you post, link and otherwise make available on or through the Service.
You can remove the Content you posted by deleting or, when that is not possible, modifying it in such a way that it becomes obviously inaccurate. Once you delete or modify your Content, it will not appear or be used by the Service, but copies of your previous Content may remain in our system or backups for some period of time. Previous Content may also remain for indeterminate periods of time in the External Services, to which, at your sole discretion, the Content was transmitted. Refer to the terms and conditions of each External Service for more details.
Also, for technical reasons, changes to your Content are not effective immediately in all the External Services you may have used your account with. Generally, the changes are made known to an External Service the next time you use dotAccount to authenticate ("sign in") to it.
You agree that you will not do any of the following in connection with the Service or other users:
- Use the Service in any manner that could interfere with, disrupt, negatively affect or inhibit other users from fully enjoying the Service or that could damage, disable, overburden or impair the functioning of the Service;
- Impersonate or sign in on behalf of any person or entity or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity;
- Collect any personal information about other users, or intimidate, threaten, stalk or otherwise harass other users of the Service;
- Create an account or post any content if you are not over 13 years of age years of age; and
- Circumvent or attempt to circumvent any filtering, security measures, rate limits or other features designed to protect the Service, users of the Service, External Services, users of the External Services, or third parties.
