12. Your User's Information; Your Information
As a user you and your computer necessarily must supply information to access, register and use GoingConference.com and the Services. You may choose, or your computer may automatically function, to send information to us, or exchange it with us and others during the course of your use of GoingConference.com and the Services. Your User's Information (also called "Your Information") is defined for the purposes of this Agreement to mean the content and the form of any and all information which you or your computer provide to us, or cause or permit other persons to transmit to us, in connection with:
(i) your accessing of the GoingConference.com domain, or any subdomains or linked domains of Internet GoingConference, LLC., or the GoingConference.com website or pages;
(ii) your logging on to GoingConference.com;
(iii) any email or other communications you have with GoingConference.com or Internet GoingConference, LLC or its employees or agents; and
(iv) your financial and other transactions with GoingConference.com. or Internet GoingConference, LLC.
"Your User's Information" is distinguished from, and does not include, communications between you and third parties by use of GoingConference.com and the Services, which are defined under the topics "Your Communications Content" and "Your Correspondents' Communications Content."
13. Your Communications Content
"Your Communications Content" is the content and form of any information that you post, communicate, transmit, or direct to any third party in any manner through the use of GoingConference.com, or the Services, or the GoingConference.com Internet domain, or any subdomain, or any linked domain that is owned, controlled or operated by Internet GoingConference, LLC. You are solely responsible for the accuracy, lawfulness, risks and use of the content of Your Communications Content. GoingConference.com does not select, monitor or modify Your Communications Content. "Third party" means any person not affiliated with Internet GoingConference, LLC.
14. Your Correspondents' Communications Content
"Your Correspondents' Communications Content" means the content and form of any information that you receive, access, take or otherwise obtain that originated from, was sent from, or was posted by any third party in any manner through GoingConference.com the GoingConference.com Services, or the GoingConference.com Internet domain, or any subdomain, or any linked domain that is owned, controlled or operated by Internet GoingConference, LLC. You and your correspondents are solely responsible for the accuracy, lawfulness, risks and use of the content of Your Correspondents' Communications Content. GoingConference.com does not monitor, select or modify Your Correspondents' Communications Content. "Third party" means any person not affiliated with Internet GoingConference, LLC.
15. Information We Receive, Switch and Transmit Without Recording
GoingConference.com provides systems for the receipt, switching and transmission of Your Communications Content and Your Correspondents' Communications Content during your sessions using the Services. This is similar in some respects to the switching of telephone calls.
15.1 Limited Participation Sessions and Host-approved Participants.
15.1.1 Registered Members Act as Hosts of Limited Participation Sessions. During a session using GoingConference.com Personal, GoingConference.com Private, or GoingConference.com Professional, GoingConference.com receives and transfers communications only among the Host and other participants who have been approved by the Host Member to participate in that particular private session or conference ("Limited Participation" session). GoingConference.com records both the registration information of the Host Member and that Host Member's User ID and email address because only registered Members of GoingConference.com can act as Host of a Limited Participation session. As a necessary condition of participation in a Limited Participation session, GoingConference.com requires that each other participant supply GoingConference.com with a user name and a valid, functional email address with reference to which communications will be switched during that particular session. (The terms of service for uses implemented on GoingConference.com Enterprise software generally will not be covered by this Agreement because GoingConference.com Enterprise software is licensed to Enterprise Customers who operate that software on computer servers owned or controlled by the Enterprise Customer, not under the control of Internet GoingConference, LLC.)
15.1.2 Non-Host Participants in Limited Participation Sessions. To participate in a Limited Participation session a prospective participant must first log onto the GoingConference.com system by providing GoingConference.com with the prospective participant's user name and a valid, functional email address. GoingConference.com records the user name and email address supplied during log-on by each prospective participant in a Limited Participation session. GoingConference.com does not require that any participant in a Limited Participation session, other than the Host Member, be a registered member. GoingConference.com does not undertake to verify the validity or functionality of the email address provided by a prospective participant. However, all Members and participants are required to provide valid, functional email addresses, the products and services may not function correctly without them, and it is a violation of this Agreement for a Member or participant to supply a non-functional, fake, or impersonated email address and user name. Each prospective participant's log-on information will be recorded by GoingConference.com. Prospective non-Host participants either (1) can be invited to participate in a particular Limited Participation session through an email initiated by the Host through GoingConference.com's system, or (2) can be informed of the Host's email and scheduled session by means independent of GoingConference.com's system. The prospective participant then must log onto GoingConference.com's system and query the GoingConference.com system by manually keying in the registered email address of the Host Member to determine whether that Member is the Host of a currently pending or scheduled session, and then can request participation in that Host's current or scheduled session. GoingConference.com forwards to the Host of a particular session the logged-on user name and email address of each prospective participant who has requested participation with reference to that Host's registered email address. The Host of that particular Limited Participation session then must affirmatively select which of the logged-on user names and email addresses are approved for participation in that Host's particular Limited Participation session and must transmit back to GoingConference.com the Host's affirmative approval of the selected user names and email addresses. Thus GoingConference.com will have identifiable Membership registration information for the logged-on user name and email address of a non-Host participant only if, coincidentally, a non-Host participant also happens to be a registered Member and has used that identical user name and email address to register as a Member.
16. IP Addresses Received and Recorded
Every user's browser as part of the automatic network protocol reports its IP (Internet Port) address to the GoingConference.com website each time a web page is viewed and we may record and store some or all of these IP addresses as well as a listing of the web pages requested using a particular IP address . Your IP address may be stored in our data base when you register for Membership.
17. GoingConference.com Not Obliged to Verify User Names, Email Addresses or Identities
Because a user name and email address are used to route communications among computers, and because computers communicate with each other by coded network addresses, the combination of a user name and email address might, but does not necessarily, identify a particular person. GoingConference.com ordinarily does not and usually cannot verify or authenticate email addresses and does not undertake any obligation to you to do so. GoingConference.com does not and usually cannot verify or control the identity of the natural persons who have access to or control the particular computers that are identified by an IP address or email address supplied to GoingConference.com for computer-routing purposes and we do not undertake any obligation to you to do so.
It is the responsibility and risk of the Host Member to use whatever identification measures the Host thinks appropriate and prudent when the Host supplies its registered address for delivery to prospective participants and when the Host approves a particular user name and email address for participation in a Host's particular Limited Participation session. Similarly, it is the responsibility and risk of a prospective participant when using a Host's email address, and when supplying GoingConference.com with the prospective participant's email address and password for delivery to a Host, to use such measures as the prospective participant thinks appropriate and prudent to identify and verify whom it will be dealing with in a session, including without limitation the Host and other participants in the session.
We reserve the right, for protection of ourselves and our systems, to use whatever lawful means may be at our disposal to attempt to verify any IP (Internet Port) address, email address, or other identification information of any Member, participant, user or visitor.
18. Contents Of Host and Participant Communications Are Transitory in Limited Participation Sessions; No Archival Storage
During Limited Participation sessions, communications among the Host and other participants are transitorily resident within the automatic switching systems, computer memory, and any temporary on-line parallel or concurrent backup systems of GoingConference.com and our Internet Service Providers ("ISPs"). Each Limited Participation session is generally limited not to exceed ten consecutive days, and most will have much shorter duration.
Within Limited Participation sessions all transmission of communications is initiated or directed by the Host and other participants, not by GoingConference.com. Communication content is transmitted among the Host and other participants automatically based upon the Host's selection of participants. The transmission, routing, provision of connections, and any storage of content is done at the direction of the Host and other participants, and material is transmitted by automatic technical processes without selection or modification of the content by GoingConference.com.
GoingConference.com does not otherwise record, backup, or archive the contents of Host and participant communications during a Limited Participation session, except as is technically necessary for that particular Limited Participation session, and those contents then are dissipated from GoingConference.com's systems either during or upon termination of a particular Limited Participation session. No copy of Your Communications Content or Your Correspondents' Communication Content during Limited Participation sessions is maintained or stored on the GoingConference.com system or network in a manner that ordinarily would be accessible to anyone other that the Host and participants selected by the Host for a particular Limited Participation session.
After termination of a particular session no copy that has been maintained by GoingConference.com during a particular Limited Participation session remains ordinarily accessible to the Host or other participants for a longer period than is reasonably necessary for that Limited Participation session.
The Host and other participants are entirely responsible for any recordation, archiving, or other backup of their own content, and may do so only as permitted by applicable law. GoingConference.com explicitly disclaims any such recordation, archiving and backup except as is reasonably necessary to functionally maintain a Limited Participation session then in progress.
After completion of a particular Limited Participation session the only information that is retained by design at GoingConference.com with reference to that Limited Participation session is a record that the Host's session took place, which may include the time, and the user names, email addresses and IP addresses supplied by the Host, participants and prospective participants for that session.
GoingConference.com does not monitor the content of Host and participant communications during Limited Participation sessions. The Host and participants bear sole responsibility, risk and liability for the content of their communications and for the identification and selection of recipients of their communications.
19. GoingConference Public Rooms; Public Video, Text Chat Rooms and Billboards
GoingConference.com may provide public video, text chat rooms, billboards, special interest rooms, and other publicly available contents at its website ("GoingConference Public Rooms"), the content of which may be accessible by any member of the general public visiting the GoingConference.com website with minimal or no registration. GoingConference.com's Public Rooms enable visitors and prospective Members to engage in limited trials of GoingConference.com's systems. Visitors to the GoingConference.com website may be enabled to post information to some GoingConference Public Rooms. The content posted by visitors to the GoingConference Public Rooms will be transitorily resident within the automatic switching systems, computer memory and caches, and any temporary on-line parallel or concurrent backup systems, of GoingConference.com and its Internet service providers. Both the posting and accessing of content in GoingConference.com Public Rooms is done automatically at the direction of visitors and prospective Members and GoingConference.com does not undertake to select or modify such content, other than by deleting it from time to time. GoingConference.com does not archive or preserve content which is posted in GoingConference Public Rooms. Our policy is to take down material from GoingConference Public Rooms after display for not more than ten consecutive days, and often more frequently, after which such content dissipates from its systems. GoingConference.com reserves the right, at any time and for any reason whatsoever or for no reason: (i) to take down, restrict, or refuse to post any information in the GoingConference Public Rooms, or (ii) to make such Public Rooms available or unavailable.
20. License Granted By You To Us for Content Transmitted by You to Public Areas
When you communicate content to or within any GoingConference Public Room or any other area of GoingConference.com which is intended to be accessible by the general public, then you shall be deemed to have granted to us (Internet GoingConference, LLC ) an irrevocable, world-wide, no-royalty, no-fee license to publish, distribute, use, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, publicly perform and publicly display (in whole or in part) in any manner, place, or medium whatsoever such content transmitted or posted to GoingConference Public Rooms. This license from you to us is fully sublicensable by us.
GoingConference.com does not pre-screen the content of transmissions and postings originated or transmitted by you or by any other user or visitor in GoingConference Public Rooms. We have no obligation to post, display, transmit, or retain any material whatsoever in any GoingConference Public Room or other publicly accessible area. We at our sole and unfettered discretion may limit access of anyone, refuse to post, or may remove or delete any matter, or may block or terminate access by any person, at any time for any reason or for no reason. We also may make available or unavailable any Public Room, public page, or other area that may be generally accessible to the public.
21. License Granted by Us To You for Use of Our Systems and Software
Internet GoingConference, LLC grants you a temporary limited license to access and use GoingConference.com Public Rooms which then are being made available by us without registration by you as a Member; this license is non-transferable and non-sublicensable by you, is terminable at will by us without notice to you; and is subject to the terms of this Agreement. Generally your access to a Public Room may be automatically limited not to exceed ten minutes during any one log on by you. If you register as a Member, and so long as you comply with the payment terms and other terms of this Agreement, or if you are granted access by a Host Member to a Limited Participation session, then you are granted by us a temporary limited license to use those portions of our system which we provide for that particular Limited Participation session. Your license as Member is non-sublicensable and non-transferable by you, and is terminable at will by us at any time for any reason or for no reason.
You do not receive any license authorizing you to, and you shall not, assign, sublicense, distribute, redistribute, publish, compile, decompile, copy, modify, or reverse engineer, any content or technical means of the GoingConference.com website, the Services, our systems, or our software; and this restriction applies to both public areas and limited participation areas.
22. Content May Be Offensive
You recognize that GoingConference.com generally does not, and usually cannot, pre-screen, monitor, modify or control in real time the content of any communications or posting, either in Limited Participation areas or in publicly accessible areas. Therefore, you acknowledge that when you use any area of GoingConference.com there is a risk that you could be exposed to salacious, obscene, pornographic, hateful, misleading, fraudulent or other objectionable materials posted or otherwise communicated by other Members, participants, users, or visitors. You agree to accept this risk. You agree that GoingConference.com and Internet GoingConference, LLC shall have no responsibility or liability to you for any such exposure you may experience. GoingConference.com does not intentionally sponsor such offensive matter and you and all other users are required to agree not to engage in the conduct which is prohibited or restricted by this Agreement, but we do not, and ordinarily cannot, undertake to police such conduct by users.
23. Adult or Mature Content; No Access To Or Targeting of Children
There may be areas of GoingConference.com which are specifically designated for "adult" or "mature" content. You agree that you shall not transmit, post or otherwise communicate "adult" or "mature" content outside of such designated areas by use of GoingConference.com or the Services. You further agree that you shall not target children with, and shall not permit children to have access to, the areas designated as "adult" or "mature." If you are an adult and you object to such "adult or "mature" content you agree that you shall refrain from accessing such areas. Nothing in this section shall be construed as authorizing you to transmit, post, deliberately access, or otherwise communicate unlawful pornographic matter or hate matter by use of GoingConference.com or the Services, and you shall not do so.
24. You Warrant Your Authority For Use of Your Information
You represent and warrant to Internet GoingConference, LLC that you have full authority to disclose and use Your Information without violating the rights of any other party. If you do not have full authority with respect to any information, then do not supply it and do not use it as part of Your Information. YOU ARE WARNED AND URGED TO USE PRUDENCE AND CAUTION TO LIMIT ANY INFORMATION YOU PERMIT TO BE TRANSMITTED OR RECEIVED ON THE INTERNET BECAUSE THE INTERNET IS FORMED OF INNUMERABLE COMPUTERS CONTROLLED BY INNUMERABLE PERSONS OTHER THAN GOINGCONFERENCE.COM, NO PRIVACY OR SECURITY SYSTEMS OR METHODS ARE FOOLPROOF, AND THUS ANY EXPOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION TO THE INTERNET CREATES INHERENT RISKS OF DISCLOSURE TO UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS. GoingConference.com and Internet GoingConference, LLC will make reasonable efforts to maintain your information according to the GoingConference Privacy Policy but it is neither theoretically possible nor financially feasible to absolutely prevent any loss of privacy or security concerning Your Information. BY USING GOINGCONFERENCE.COM AND THE SERVICES YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THESE RISKS
25. License Of Your User Information From You to Us
For the purpose of enabling GoingConference.com to use Your User Information without violating any rights you may have in Your User Information, you hereby grant GoingConference.com and Internet GoingConference, LLC a license to exercise all rights of copyright, database, and publicity that you have in Your Information. This license with respect to Your Information is a non-exclusive, royalty-free, no-fee right which continues perpetually unless affirmatively terminated by written notice to us by you, and which may be exercised by Internet GoingConference, LLC, and its successors and affiliates, world-wide in any medium now known or which may become known in the future. We at GoingConference.com and Internet GoingConference, LLC agree to limit our use of Your Information to the GoingConference.com Privacy Policy, as that policy has been amended from time to time and as that policy exists at the time of use by GoingConference.com and Internet GoingConference, LLC of Your Information. We will respect any opt-out election which you have validly exercised and communicated to us in accord with our applicable Privacy Policy. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO GRANT THIS LICENSE OF YOUR INFORMATION TO US, THEN DO NOT USE GOINGCONFERENCE.COM AND THE SERVICES; GOINGCONFERENCE.COM AND INTERNET GOINGCONFERENCE CANNOT PROVIDE YOU THE SERVICES WITHOUT THIS LICENSE FROM YOU TO US. You may click on the link http://www.GoingConference.com/privacy.html to view our current privacy policy.
26. Your Editing and Deletion of Your User Information
Internet GoingConference, LLC provides ways for you to edit Your Information and preferences. To do so, please log on using your User Name and password, then click on Admin Options. This link enables you to state whether or not you want GoingConference.com to contact you about special offers and new products; it enables you to specify which categories of information you wish to receive or not receive, to exercise opt-out elections, or to request termination of your account.
You also may request that your GoingConference.com registration and Membership be terminated and deleted by sending an email to admin@goingconference.com. To aid fraud prevention, termination and deletion may be deferred for up to 90 days after you instruct termination. Please see the topic Archival Retention of Your Information to read about what information may remain in archived records after termination of your registration and Membership.
27. Archival Retention of Your Information
In order to protect its systems against failures and loss of data and to enable resumption and continuation of the Services with minimal disruption and down time, GoingConference.com likely will maintain parallel, redundant, backup, or other archival systems ("Archived User Information.") which may vary from time to time depending up the technology then in use by us. Such systems are designed to archive information which can be recalled. As a matter of course during operation of our systems Your Information is likely to be included in Archived User Information. When your registration and Membership are terminated in our currently active databases, there likely will remain pre-existing copies of Your Information in Archived User Information that is being held more or less independently of the currently active databases and from which Your Information therefore will not have been deleted. Reasonable efforts will be made to promptly include your termination request in the most current Archived User Information so that your termination instruction will be honored. However, it is possible that in the event of loss or damage of the currently active databases, older Archived User Information which still contains Your Information will be used to restore service, thereby resulting in restoration of Your Information in what then becomes the currently active databases. You agree to accept this risk and your sole remedy in such an event will be to again request termination of your registration and Membership. Even when you request termination of your account, it will be necessary for GoingConference.com to maintain some limited records of your transactions with GoingConference.com. For example, we may maintain some identifying information concerning you to keep a record of your request for termination of your account as well as records of our prior transactions with you for our financial and tax reporting purposes.
