Welcome to SocialStrap, a social media network where friends share their lives and explore great entertainment. SocialStrap may be accessed through the Internet and through WAP services provided by certain mobile network providers. By accessing or using the SocialStrap Service, you signify that you have read the following terms and conditions (the ’Terms of Service’) and accept and agree to be bound by them, whether or not you register with SocialStrap.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or delete portions of these Terms of Service at any time without further notice. If we do this, we will post the changes to these Terms of Service on this page and we may send registered users an email notifying you of the change. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOU SHALL STOP USING THE SocialStrap SERVICE. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE SocialStrap SERVICE FOLLOWING OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR NEW AGREEMENT ON OUR SITE OR RECEIVING OUR EMAIL NOTIFYING YOU OF THE CHANGE WILL CONSTITUTE YOUR BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGE.
You should provide true, accurate and complete registration information to be a SocialStrap member (’Member’), and also maintain the accuracy of this information. As part of the registration process, you will be asked to select a username and password and you will be responsible for all activities occurring under your username and for keeping your password secure. We may refuse to grant you a username that impersonates someone else, is or may be protected by trademark or proprietary rights law, or is vulgar, offensive or otherwise inappropriate, as determined by us in our sole discretion.
The SocialStrap Service is made available for your personal, non-commercial use only. You may not use the SocialStrap Service for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. International users agree to comply with all local rules regarding online conduct and acceptable content, including laws regulating the export of data from the United States or your country of residence. You are solely responsible for your conduct and any data, text, information, graphics, photos, profiles, audio and video clips, links and other content (’Materials’) that you submit, post, and display on the SocialStrap Service.
We may, but shall have no obligation to, remove or limit access to Materials originating from any SocialStrap user that we determine in our sole discretion are unlawful, fraudulent, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene or otherwise objectionable, or infringes or violates any party’s intellectual property or other proprietary rights or these Terms of Service. Further, under no circumstances does SocialStrap have any obligation to check the accuracy or truthfulness of any Materials, nor to monitor any Member’s use of the SocialStrap Service.
SocialStrap reserves the right to deactivate user accounts without further notice.
You agree to abide by all applicable local, state, national and international laws and regulations and are solely responsible for all acts or omissions that occur under your account made by you including the content of your transmissions through the SocialStrap Service. By way of example, and not as a limitation, you agree NOT to:
SocialStrap does not claim any ownership rights in any Materials that you submit, post, or display on or through the SocialStrap Service. After submitting, posting or displaying Materials on or through SocialStrap or the SocialStrap Service, you continue to retain all ownership rights in such Materials, and you continue to have the right to use your Materials in any way you choose. By submitting, posting or displaying any Materials on or through the SocialStrap Service, you hereby grant to SocialStrap and its agents and assigns a limited license to use, modify, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, and distribute such Materials solely in connection with the SocialStrap Service or the promotion thereof.
Without this license, SocialStrap would be unable to provide the SocialStrap Service. For example, without the right to modify your Materials, SocialStrap would not be able to digitally compress music files that you or other Members submit or otherwise format Materials to satisfy technical requirements, and without the right to publicly perform Materials, SocialStrap could not allow users and Members to listen to music posted by Members. The license you grant to SocialStrap is non-exclusive (meaning you are free to license your Materials to anyone else in addition to SocialStrap), fully-paid and royalty-free (meaning that SocialStrap is not required to pay you for the use on the SocialStrap Service of the Materials that you post), sub licensable (so that SocialStrap is able to use its affiliates and subcontractors such as Internet and WAP content delivery networks to provide the SocialStrap Service), and worldwide (because the Internet and the SocialStrap Service are global in reach). This license will terminate at the time you remove your Materials from the SocialStrap Service, except that you agree that the license will continue solely with respect to other Members' continued use of your Materials that are not music or videos (i.e. photos or skins); provided, however if you remove any of the Materials from the SocialStrap Service, SocialStrap reserves the right to remove all of your Materials from other Member's pages. You agree to pay for all royalties, fees, and any other monies owing any person by reason of any Materials posted by you to or through the SocialStrap Service. The hosting of certain items that you post, such as video, may require your agreement to a separate license agreement or terms of use.
SocialStrap and its affiliates and licensors own and retain all rights in the SocialStrap Web site and SocialStrap Service, which contain proprietary and confidential information that is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws, including without limitation all (1) text, (2) software, (3) photographs, (4) graphics, (5) page layout, and (6) design presented through and as part of the SocialStrap. Except as expressly authorized by SocialStrap, you may not copy, modify, publish, transmit, distribute, perform, display or sell any of SocialStrap proprietary information.
We take your privacy very seriously and collection and use of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy.
Information collected in connection with your use of the SocialStrap Service may be processed and stored in the United States, or other countries where SocialStrap or its parent, affiliates, subsidiaries or service providers maintain facilities. Additionally, you agree that we may use your SocialStrap username to authenticate you on any service provided by SocialStrap or its affiliates.
You may not post, modify, distribute, or reproduce in any way any copyright material, trademarks, or other proprietary information belonging to others without obtaining the prior written consent of the owner of such proprietary rights. SocialStrap respects the intellectual property rights of others and reserves the right to terminate any user's access to the SocialStrap Service according to these terms of use if SocialStrap is notified that such user's activities infringe the rights of third parties on more than one occasion. If you believe that your work (or the work of a third party on whose behalf you are entitled to act) has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please file a copyright infringement notification (Notice) with us, by sending a written communication which should include the following information, in the same order as is set out in (i) to (x) below:
