Vquence ("VQUENCE") provides a collection of online resources, content and services, including, but not limited to, embedding video sequences (collectively referred to hereafter as "the Service") subject to the following Terms of Use ("TOU"). By accessing the VQUENCE site or by using the Service in any way, you have agreed to comply with these TOU. In addition, when using the Service, you agree to abide by any applicable posted guidelines, which may change from time to time.
Should you object to any term or condition of these TOU, any guidelines, or any subsequent modifications thereto or become dissatisfied with VQUENCE in any way, your only recourse is to immediately discontinue use of VQUENCE.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify or otherwise alter these TOU at any time. Such modifications shall become effective immediately upon the posting thereof and you are required to automatically agree to the changed TOU. You must review these TOU on a regular basis to keep yourself apprised of any changes. You can find the most recent version of these TOU at:
VQUENCE hereby grants you permission to access and use the VQUENCE site as set forth in these TOU, provided that: (i) your access and use of the VQUENCE site and its Service as permitted is solely for your personal use; (ii) you will not copy or distribute any part of the VQUENCE site in any medium without VQUENCE's prior written authorization in its sole descretion; (iii) you will not alter or modify any part of the VQUENCE site other than as may be reasonably necessary to use the VQUENCE site for its intended purpose; and (iv) you will otherwise comply with the these TOU of the Service.
In order to access some features of the VQUENCE Service, you may be required to create an account. You must not use another person’s account without permission. When creating your account, you must provide accurate and complete information. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on or through your account, and you must keep your account password secure. You must notify VQUENCE immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account. Although VQUENCE will not be liable for any of your damage, losses or other liability caused by any unauthorized use of your account, you will be liable for the losses of VQUENCE or others due to such unauthorized use.
You agree not to use or launch any automated system, including without limitation, "robots," "spiders," "offline readers," etc., that accesses the VQUENCE site in a manner that sends more request messages to the VQUENCE servers in a given period of time than a human can reasonably produce by hand in the same period by using a conventional on-line web browser and who uses the VQUENCE servers as they are intended to be used. Notwithstanding the foregoing, VQUENCE grants the operators of public search engines permission to use spiders to copy materials from the VQUENCE site for the sole purpose of creating publicly available searchable indices of the materials, but not caches or archives of such materials. VQUENCE reserves the right to revoke these exceptions either generally or in specific cases. You agree not to collect or harvest any personally identifiable information, including account names, from the VQUENCE site, nor to use the communication systems provided by the VQUENCE site for any commercial solicitation purposes. You agree not to solicit, for commercial purposes, any users of the VQUENCE site with respect to their "User Submissions".
VQUENCE may now or in the future provide or permit the linking from or to the Service of postings, messages, text, software, files, images, photos, videos, sounds, music or other material, collectively referred to as "the Content". You understand that regardless of where such Content is published, VQUENCE does not guarantee any confidentiality with respect to any Content or any access to or use of that Content.
You understand that VQUENCE does not control or own, and is not responsible for Content made available through the Service, and that by using the Service, you may be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent, inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise objectionable.
You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the access to and/or use of any Content, that you must not rely on any Content, and that under no circumstances will VQUENCE be liable in any way for any Content or for any loss, damage or liability of any kind incurred as a result of the access to and/or use of any Content whether posted, emailed or otherwise made available via the Service. You acknowledge that VQUENCE does not pre-screen or approve Content, but that VQUENCE shall have the right (but not the obligation) in its sole discretion to refuse, delete or move links to any Content that is available via the Service, for violating the letter or spirit of these TOU or for any other reason at VQUENCE’s absolute discretion.
VQUENCE does not endorse any Content or any opinion, recommendation, or advice expressed therein, and VQUENCE expressly disclaims any and all liability in connection with any Content. VQUENCE does not permit copyright infringing activities and infringement of intellectual property rights on or through its Site, and VQUENCE will remove links to any Content if properly notified that such Content infringes on another's intellectual property rights. VQUENCE reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove Content in whole or in part without prior notice.
You acknowledge and agree that when using the VQUENCE site, you will be exposed to Content from a variety of sources, and that VQUENCE is not responsible for the accuracy, usefulness, lawfulness, safety, or intellectual property rights of or relating to such Content. You further understand and acknowledge that you may be exposed to Content that is inaccurate, misleading, deceptive, offensive, indecent, or objectionable, and you agree to waive, and hereby do waive, any legal or equitable rights or remedies you have or may have against VQUENCE with respect thereto, and agree to indemnify and hold VQUENCE, its Owners/Operators, associates, and/or licensors, harmless to the fullest extent allowed by law regarding all matters related to your access to or use of the VQUENCE site.
The VQUENCE site and Content available through the Service contains links to third-party Sites, which are independent of VQUENCE. VQUENCE makes no representation or warranty as to the lawfulness, accuracy, completeness or authenticity of the site, information or content contained in or accessible through any such site. Your linking to any other websites is at your own risk.

Accordingly, we encourage you to be aware when you leave the VQUENCE site and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each other website that you visit.
The VQUENCE site and Content available through the Service may contain features and functionalities that may link you or provide you with access to third party content which is independent of VQUENCE, including web sites, directories, servers, networks, systems, information and databases, applications, software, programs, products or services, and the Internet as a whole.
Your interactions with organizations and/or individuals found on or through the Service, including payment and delivery of goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such organizations and/or individuals.

http://www.vquence.com/terms/privacy
Your use of the VQUENCE website or the Service signifies acknowledgement of and agreement to our Privacy Policy. You further acknowledge and agree that VQUENCE may, in its sole discretion, preserve or disclose your Content, as well as your information, such as email addresses, IP addresses, timestamps, and other user information, if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: comply with legal process; enforce these TOU; respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third-parties; respond to claims that contact information (e.g. phone number, street address) of a third-party has been posted or transmitted without their consent or as a form of harassment; protect the rights, property, or personal safety of VQUENCE, its users or the general public.
You understand and agree that sending unsolicited email advertisements to VQUENCE email addresses or through VQUENCE computer systems, is expressly prohibited by these TOU. Any unauthorized use of VQUENCE computer systems is a violation of these TOU and certain commonwealth and state laws.
You acknowledge that VQUENCE may establish limits concerning use of the Service, including the maximum number of pieces of Content search results that will be provided by the Service, the kind of Content that will be searched by VQUENCE or the libraries of Content in which VQUENCE will search. You agree that VQUENCE has no responsibility or liability for maintaining access to the libraries of Content in which it searches. You acknowledge that VQUENCE reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice, and that VQUENCE shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.
VQUENCE grants you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive license to access the Service for your own personal use. This license does not include any collection, aggregation, copying, duplication, display or derivative use of the Service nor any use of data mining, robots, spiders, or similar data gathering and extraction tools for any purpose unless expressly permitted by VQUENCE.
A limited exception is provided to general purpose internet search engines and non-commercial public archives that use such tools to gather information for the sole purpose of displaying hyperlinks to the Service, provided they each do so from a stable IP address or range of IP addresses using an easily identifiable agent and comply with our robots.txt file. "General purpose internet search engine" does not include a website or search engine or other service that specializes in classified listings or in any subset of classifieds listings such as jobs, housing, for sale, services, or personals, or which is in the business of providing classified ad listing services.
VQUENCE permits you to display on your website, or create a hyperlink on your website to vquences generated by the Service so long as such use is for noncommercial and/or news reporting purposes only (e.g., for use in personal web blogs or personal online media). If the total number of such postings displayed or linked to on your website exceeds one hundred (100) postings, your use will be presumed to be in violation of these TOU, absent express permission granted by VQUENCE to do so. You may also create a hyperlink to the VQUENCE home page so long as the link does not portray VQUENCE, its employees, or its affiliates in a false, misleading, derogatory, or otherwise offensive matter.
VQUENCE may offer various parts of the Service in RSS format so that users can embed individual feeds into a personal website or blog, or view postings through third party software news aggregators. VQUENCE permits you to display, excerpt from, and link to the RSS feeds on your personal website or personal web blog, provided that (a) your use of the RSS feed is for personal, non-commercial purposes only, (b) each title is correctly linked back to the original post on the Service and redirects the user to the post when the user clicks on it, (c) you provide, adjacent to the RSS feed, proper attribution to 'VQUENCE' as the source, (d) your use or display does not suggest that VQUENCE promotes or endorses any third party causes, ideas, web sites, products or services, (e) you do not redistribute the RSS feed, and (f) your use does not overburden VQUENCE's systems. VQUENCE reserves all rights in the content of the RSS feeds and may terminate any RSS feed at any time.
Use of the Service beyond the scope of authorized access granted to you by VQUENCE immediately terminates said permission or license. In order to collect, aggregate, copy, duplicate, display or make derivative use of the Service or any Content made available via the Service for other purposes (including commercial purposes) not stated herein, you must first obtain a license from VQUENCE.
You agree that VQUENCE, in its sole discretion, has the right (but not the obligation) to terminate its website and Service and/or to delete or deactivate your account, block your email or IP address, or otherwise terminate your access to or use of the Service (or any part thereof), immediately and without notice, and remove and discard any Content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, if VQUENCE believes that you have acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these TOU. Further, you agree that VQUENCE shall not be liable to you or any third-party for any termination of your access to the Service.
Further, you agree not to attempt to use the Service after said termination.
The provisions of these TOU survive termination of these TOU.
