Partners Terms of Service

By using graphics and code and any associated documentation (collectively, the “Widgets”) that provide you the means to provide your end users with certain features access powered by the Gigya Network service (the “Gigya Network”) you agree to be bound by the following terms of Service (these “Terms of Service”).

Gigya Overview

You may use the Gigya Widgets if you are an individual or an entity, provided that you abide by these Terms of Service at all times.

You may not use the Widgets in any manner that either directly or indirectly violates any federal, state, or local laws applicable to you, any court, regulatory or other order or judgment against you, or the proprietary, contractual or laws, orders, judgments, and rights in the United States as well as in other countries.

Gigya Intellectual Property

You agree not to remove, obscure, or alter Gigya's copyright notice, trademarks, or other proprietary rights notices affixed to or contained within the Widgets.

You acknowledge that Gigya owns all right, title and interest in and to the Widgets, including without limitation all intellectual property rights relating thereto (the “Gigya Rights”). The Gigya Rights include rights to the Widgets and all software associated with the Widgets developed and provided by Gigya. The Gigya Rights do not include third-party components used in connection with the Widgets or software developed by you in conjunction with using the Widgets. “GIGYA”, the “Gigya” logo, and other marks that incorporate “GIGYA” are trademarks of Gigya.

Limitations on Use

Your right to display Widgets is limited only to your web site (the “Site”) and not in connection with any application such as a toolbar, plug-in, helper, and component or other executable code that runs on an end user's computer. You will be solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of the Site and for all materials that appear on the Site. You understand that Gigya will provide Widgets on a nonexclusive basis, and that Gigya will continue to customize and provide its services to other parties for use in connection with a variety of applications, including Widgets. You may not remove, distort or alter any element of the Widgets (including the html and JavaScript code) or otherwise change the size or appearance of the Widgets in any way, except in the manner specifically authorized in the posted API documentation, as the same may change from time to time.

You may not display Widgets in any manner that implies a partnership or affiliation with, sponsorship, or endorsement by Gigya, or that can be reasonably interpreted to suggest editorial content has been authored by, or represents the views or opinions of Gigya or Gigya personnel. Your Site will not, in any way, copy or resemble the look and feel of any part of the Gigya web site nor will you create the impression that the Site is our web site or is a part of our web site.

Gigya reserves the right in its sole discretion to terminate or modify your permission to display the Widgets at any time and to take action against any use that does not conform to these Terms of Service, infringes any Gigya intellectual property or other right, or violates applicable law.

Appropriate Conduct

You will not, and will not allow any third party to: (a) modify, adapt, translate, prepare derivative works from, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive source code from any Widgets or any other Gigya technology, content, data, routines, algorithms, methods, ideas design, user interface techniques, software, materials, and documentation; (b) remove, deface, obscure, or alter Gigya's copyright notice, trademarks or other proprietary rights notices affixed to or provided as a part of any Widgets or any other Gigya technology, software, materials and documentation; (c) create or attempt to create a substitute or similar service or product through use of or access to the Gigya Network or proprietary information related thereto; and/or (d) engage in any action or practice that reflects poorly on Gigya or otherwise disparages or devalues Gigya's reputation or goodwill.

Branding

For purposes of the Terms of Service, “Brand Names or Logos” will be defined as the trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features of each party, respectively, as secured by such party from time to time. Gigya hereby grants to you a nontransferable, nonsublicenseable, nonexclusive license during the Term to display Gigya's Brand Names or Logos for the purpose of promoting or advertising that you use the Gigya website. You hereby grant to Gigya a nontransferable, nonexclusive license during the Term to use your Brand Names or Logos to advertise that you are using the Widgets. Any use of the Gigya Brand Names or Logos is subject to the Gigya Brand Names or Logos guidelines. Gigya may modify the Gigya Brand Names or Logos or the Gigya Brand Names or Logos guidelines. Nothing in the Terms of Service will grant or will be deemed to grant to one party any right, title or interest in or to the other party's Brand Names or Logos. All use by you of Gigya's Brand Names or Logos (including any goodwill associated therewith) will inure to the benefit of Gigya. At no time during or after the Term will you challenge or assist others to challenge the Brand Names or Logos of Gigya (except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by law) or the registration thereof by Gigya, nor will you attempt to register any Brand Names or Logos (including domain names) that are confusingly similar in any way (including but not limited to, sound, appearance and spelling) to those of Gigya.
