The Coconut Service

Information Control

Coconut does not control the content provided by other parties, whether by its customers or other users, which is made available through the Services. You must use caution and common sense when using the Services. You understand that by using the Services, you may encounter content that may be deemed offensive, indecent, or objectionable, which may or may not be identified as having explicit language, or that may be inaccurate, or deceptive. You agree to use the Services at your sole risk and that Coconut shall have no liability to you regarding any kind for content, whether that of Coconut or third parties, that may be found to be offensive, indecent, objectionable, inaccurate, or deceptive in any manner.

Your Information

As used in this Agreement, the term "Your Information" means any information you provide to Coconut or other users in using the Services, including in any registration processes, in any public message area, or through any email, messaging, or sharing feature. Except as set forth in the Coconut Privacy Policy as may be established from time to time, your personal information (such as name and email address) will be deemed to be confidential. With the exception of content shared with others using the Services, any non-personal information or material sent to Coconut will generally be deemed to be NOT confidential. You understand and agree that we may disclose information about you if we have a good faith belief that we are required to do so by law or legal process, to respond to claims, to protect the rights, property, or safety of Coconut or others, or as stated in our Privacy Policy. You are solely responsible for Your Information. Your Information may not:


You grant Coconut a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable right to exercise the copyright, publicity, and database rights associated with Your Information, in any media now existing or later invented within the confidentiality and privacy terms in this Agreement.

You shall be solely and fully responsible for all activities that occur under your account. Coconut shall not be responsible for any loss, claim, or other liability that may arise from the unauthorized use of any password. If a password is lost or stolen, it is your responsibility to notify Coconut so that the missing password can be deactivated and a new one assigned.

Refund Policy

The Service is billed at the beginning of each month according to the number of GB used during the previous month. The Service is billed on a monthly basis and is non-refundable.

Proprietary Materials

The Services contain copyrighted material, trademarks, service marks and other proprietary information, which may include without limitation text, video, API, software, photographs, graphics, images, music and sound (collectively "Proprietary Material"). You agree not to copy, reproduce, modify, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, create derivative works of, or in any way exploit, in whole or in part, any Proprietary Material, except as expressly permitted herein, and/or solely for your personal, non-commercial use. Specifically, you may use the Proprietary Material for your personal, non-commercial use. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement (or as otherwise specifically authorized in writing by Coconut), you may not authorize, encourage or allow the Proprietary Material obtained by you to be reproduced, modified, derivated, displayed, performed, transferred, distributed or otherwise used by anyone else. You agree to advise Coconut promptly if you become aware of any such unauthorized use.

ALL RIGHTS NOT EXPRESSLY GRANTED TO YOU IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE RESERVED BY Coconut AND ITS LICENSORS.

Submissions

You agree that any information submitted by you through any forum provided by Coconut is considered non-confidential and non-proprietary, unless specifically stated otherwise in this Agreement. You represent that you have the lawful right to submit such information and agree that you will not submit any information unless you are legally entitled to do so. While Coconut is pleased to hear from users of the Services, company policy prohibits Coconut from accepting or considering creative ideas, suggestions or materials other than those it has specifically requested. With this policy Coconut seeks to avoid any potential future misunderstandings that may occur when projects developed by employees, licensors, or contractors of Coconut, by and for the sole use of Coconut, might seem to others to be similar or identical in nature to their own creative work and/or submission(s). If, despite this request, you submit to Coconut any creative material, including, but not limited to, ideas, suggestions or other information, you acknowledge and agree that such submission(s) are considered, and shall remain, the property of Coconut. You further agree and acknowledge that Coconut shall not be liable for the use or disclosure of such submission(s), that Coconut shall be subject to no obligations (including, but not limited to, any obligation of compensation whatsoever to you) with respect to the use or disclosure of such submission(s), and that Coconut shall own exclusively all rights to the submission(s), including, but not limited to rights now known or hereafter existing and rights of every kind and nature throughout the universe. Because of the open nature of the Internet, common sense would dictate, and Coconut would recommend, that you not submit any information you consider confidential.
