This App may allow users to submit or post Content that may be used in NICKEL MEDIA'S advertising. By submitting any Content, a user agrees that he/she is eligible to submit Content and understands and agrees to be bound by these Terms of Use.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY. By accessing or using this App in any way you are agreeing to comply with these Terms of Use, including any documents, policies and guidelines incorporated by reference (referred to collectively as the "Terms"). Certain services available through this App and other NICKEL MEDIA Apps (referred to collectively as the "Apps"), especially services for which you are asked to subscribe or pay money, may have their own terms and conditions that apply to your purchase or use of that particular service. These Terms do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any of these other written or online terms and conditions or agreements you may have or will have with NICKEL MEDIA, including any other website terms of use with an NICKEL MEDIA affiliate.

4. REGISTRATION, PASSWORD AND SECURITY

Whenever you provide us information on our App, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information and (b) maintain and promptly update such information to keep it true, accurate, current and complete.

If any portion of our App requires you to register or open an account you may also be asked to choose a password and a user name. Please select a password that would not be obvious to someone trying to guess your password, and change it regularly as an added precaution. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account identification. You agree to immediately notify NICKEL MEDIA of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security. Without limiting any rights which NICKEL MEDIA may otherwise have, NICKEL MEDIA reserves the right to take any and all action, as it deems necessary or reasonable, to ensure the security of the App and your account, including without limitation terminating your account, changing your password, or requesting additional information to authorize transactions on your account. Notwithstanding the above, NICKEL MEDIA may rely on the authority of anyone accessing your account or using your password and in no event and under no circumstances shall NICKEL MEDIA be held liable to you for any liabilities or damages resulting from or arising out of (i) any action or inaction of NICKEL MEDIA under this provision, (ii) any compromise of the confidentiality of your account or password and (iii) any unauthorized access to your account or use of your password. You may not use anyone else's account at any time, without the permission of the account holder.

The security of your personally identifying information is important to us. While there is no such thing as "perfect security" on the Internet, we will take reasonable steps to help ensure the safety of your personally identifying information. However, you understand and agree that such steps do not guarantee that use of the App is invulnerable to all security breaches, and that NICKEL MEDIA makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation that use of any of our App is protected from viruses, security threats or other vulnerabilities.
