If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Site or Services.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you are free to reject them; unfortunately, that means you will not be able to use the Services. If you use the Services in any way, that means you agree to all of these Terms, and these Terms will remain in effect while you use the Services. These Terms include the provisions in this document, as well as those in the Privacy Policy.

The Services

As a condition to using the Services, you are required to open an account with Handoff and select a password and username, and to provide certain other information about yourself as prompted by the registration form. You represent and warrant that: (a) all required registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information. You may delete your account at any time, for any reason, by following the instructions on the Site. Handoff may suspend or terminate your account in accordance with the Terms.

You may not (i) select or use as a username or other identifier with the intent to impersonate another person; (ii) use as a username or other identifier a name subject to any rights of a person other than you without appropriate authorization; or (iii) use as a username or other identifier a name that is otherwise offensive, vulgar, or obscene.

You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account, and for keeping your account password secure. You may never use another person's user account or registration information for the Services without permission. You must notify us immediately of any change in your eligibility to use the Services (including any changes to or revocation of any licenses from state authorities), breach of security or unauthorized use of your account. You should never publish, distribute or post login information for your account.

(5) a statement that you have a 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; and

(6) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
