You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information about your Account.
When you create your account please:
-
Use correct personal information (please avoid false usernames)
-
create accounts for yourself or for people who give you permission
-
Create a username without the intent to impersonate someone else
-
Avoid a username subject to rights of another without appropriate authorization
-
Refrain from offensive, vulgar, obscene or otherwise poorly selected user names
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Account if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, false or misleading or violates any of the restrictions stated above, or otherwise violates our Terms. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and Account, and agree to notify us if your password is lost, stolen, or disclosed to an unauthorized third party, or otherwise may have been compromised. You are responsible for activities that occur under your Account.
You can link your Account to various webmail, social networking, and other online accounts. You may only link your own accounts.

By linking your other accounts, you expressly authorize us to access, display and use your account information from those third party accounts, on your behalf as your agent and permit us to access, use and, in some cases, store your account information to accomplish the foregoing.

We hope that you stay with us, but in the event you decide to leave we want to tell you what will happen. If you want to delete your information and your account, please contact us(legal@SocialMama.us) with a request that we delete your account and information. We will take steps to delete your information as soon as is practicable, but some information may remain in archived/backup copies for our records and as otherwise required by law.

These Terms are concluded between you and Ema, and not with the App Provider, and that Ema (not the App Provider), is solely responsible for the App. The App Provider has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to the App. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify the App Provider, and the App Provider will refund the purchase price for the App to you (if applicable) and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App Provider will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of Ema.

In the event of any third party claim that the App or your possession and use of that App infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, Ema will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by these Terms.
The App Provider, and its subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of these Terms as related to your license of the App, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of these Terms, the App Provider will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms as related to your license of the App against you as a third party beneficiary thereof. You must also comply with all applicable third party terms of service when using the App.
