Changes to Terms of Service

You can review the most current version of the Terms of Service at any time at this page.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to update, change or replace any part of these Terms of Service by posting updates and changes to our website. It is your responsibility to check our website periodically for changes. Your continued use of or access to our website or the Service following the posting of any changes to these Terms of Service constitutes acceptance of those changes.

Use of Our Service

Yabbu provides a place for people to communicate with others in their work, school or community networks (each, a ‘Network’) in real time.

Yabbu grants you permission to use the Service as set forth in this Agreement, provided that: (i) you will not copy, distribute, or disclose any part of the Service in any medium; (ii) you will not alter or modify any part of the Service other than as may be reasonably necessary to use the Service for its intended purpose; and (iii) you will otherwise comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

You will need to register with Yabbu and create a ‘Member’ account. Your account gives you access to the services and functionality that we may establish and maintain from time to time and in our sole discretion. Under specific circumstances, Yabbu’s service also extends to Users with an incomplete account. This agreement applies to these Users as well.

You may never use another Member’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 your account, and you must keep your account password secure.

You must notify Yabbu immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account. Although Yabbu will not be liable for your losses caused by any unauthorized use of your account, you shall be liable for the losses of Yabbu or others due to such unauthorized use.

You may use your Account Settings to control your Member Profile. By providing Yabbu with your email address you consent to our using the email address to send you Service-related notices in the future, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. We may also use your email address to send you other messages, including changes to features of the Service and special offers. You can opt out of these messages via the unsubscribe button at the bottom of these emails.

You agree not to use or launch any automated system, including without limitation, ‘robots,’ ‘spiders,’ ‘offline readers,’ etc., that accesses the Service in a manner that sends more request messages to the Yabbu servers than a human can reasonably produce in the same period of time by using a conventional on-line web browser. You agree not to collect or harvest any personally identifiable information, including account names, from the Service nor to use the communication systems provided by the Service for any commercial solicitation purposes. You agree not to use any portion of the Service as a destination linked from any unsolicited bulk messages or unsolicited commercial messages.

Yabbu may permanently or temporarily terminate, suspend, or otherwise refuse to permit your access to the Service without notice and liability, if, in Yabbu’s sole determination, you violate any of the Agreement, including the following prohibited actions: (i) attempting to interfere with, compromise the system integrity or security or decipher any transmissions to or from the servers running the Service; (ii) taking any action that imposes, or may impose at our sole discretion an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; (iii) uploading invalid data, viruses, worms, or other software agents through the Service; (iv) impersonating another person or otherwise misrepresenting your affiliation with a person or entity, conducting fraud, hiding or attempting to hide your identity; (v) interfering with the proper working of the Service; or, (vi) bypassing the measures we may use to prevent or restrict access to the Service. Upon termination for any reason, you continue to be bound by this Agreement.

Yabbu reserves the right to offer alternative and/or additional Services to certain administrative users, including administrators of Corporate Networks, that may not be offered to general Users. You acknowledge that Yabbu may charge a fee for the use of any Services, provided that Yabbu notifies you of any such fee before you incur it. Subject to the foregoing, you agree to pay any fees incurred by you. In the event that you have elected to receive additional services for a fee, and you fail to pay such fee within thirty (30) days, then in addition to all other remedies available to Yabbu, Yabbu may immediately cease providing all such additional services.

Yabbu will not review, share, distribute, or reference any such User Content except as provided herein or in our Privacy Policy or as may be required by law. Yabbu does not have, nor does it claim, any ownership rights in any User Content. In addition, you should note that if you are no longer an eligible member of a network (e.g., you cease to be employed by the relevant company), your access to all User Content you uploaded may be terminated.

You agree that any User Content that you post does not and will not violate third-party rights of any kind, including without limitation any Intellectual Property Rights (as defined below), rights of publicity and privacy. You understand that publishing your User Content on the Service is not a substitute for registering it with the EU Copyright Office or any other rights organization.

You understand and agree that any loss or damage of any kind that occurs as a result of the use of any User Content that you send, upload, download, stream, post, transmit, display, or otherwise make available or access through your use of the Service, is solely your responsibility. Yabbu is not responsible for any public display or misuse of your User Content. You understand and acknowledge that you may be exposed to User Content that is inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable, and you agree that Yabbu shall not be liable for any damages you allege to incur as a result of such User Content.
