Terms of Use

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR USE OF AND ACCESS TO OUR SERVICES (DEFINED BELOW) ARE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS; IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING, YOU MAY NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICES IN ANY MANNER.

Effective date: 18th March, 2019

Welcome to ad2sale.  Please read on to learn the rules and restrictions that govern your use of our website(s), products, services and mobile applications (the “Services”).  

Will these Terms ever change?

We continually strive to improve our Services, so these Terms may need to change along with the Services to reflect those improvements, or for other reasons.  We reserve the right to change the Terms at any time and for any reason.  While we may choose to provide notice when substantial changes are made, please check back frequently to ensure you have reviewed the latest copy of these Terms at https://ad2sale.com/.

If you don't agree with the new Terms, you are free to reject them; unfortunately, that means you will no longer be able to use the Services.  If you use the Services in any way after a change to the Terms is effective, that means you agree to all of the changes.  You should visit this page periodically to review these Terms.

Except for changes by us as described here, no other amendment or modification of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by both you and us.

What about my privacy?

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires that online service providers obtain parental consent before they knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under 13.  This Services are not directed toward or intended for children under age 13, and if you are under 13 you should not use this site.  We do not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from children under 13; if you are a child under 13, please do not attempt to register for the Services or send any personal information about yourself to us.  If we learn we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that information as quickly as reasonably possible.  If you believe that a child under 13 may have provided us personal information, please contact us at Admin@ad2sale.com.

User Submissions; Do I have to grant any licenses to ad2sale or to other users?

Anything you post, upload, share, store, or otherwise provide through the Services is your “User Submission.” Some User Submissions are viewable by other users.  In order to display your User Submissions on the Services, and to allow other users to enjoy them (where applicable), you grant us certain rights in those User Submissions.  Please note that all of the following licenses are subject to our Privacy Policy to the extent they relate to User Submissions that are also your personally-identifiable information.

For all User Submissions, you hereby grant ad2sale a license to translate, modify (for technical purposes, for example making sure your content is viewable on a phone as well as a computer) and reproduce and otherwise act with respect to such User Submissions, in each case to enable us to operate the Services, as described in more detail below.  This is a license only—your ownership in User Submissions is not affected—however, you grant a license to ad2sale to create derivative works, compile your content with other content and to own, register and enforce rights in such compilation and be the sole party entitled to any relief obtained from such enforcement efforts.

If you store a User Submission in your own personal ad2sale account, in a manner that is not viewable by any other user except you (a “Personal User Submission”), you grant ad2sale the license above, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Personal User Submission for the purpose of making that Personal User Submission accessible to you and providing the Services necessary to do so.

If you share a User Submission only in a manner that only certain specified users can view (for example, a private message to one or more other users)(a “Limited Audience User Submission”), then you grant ad2sale the licenses above, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Limited Audience User Submission for the purpose of making that Limited Audience User Submission accessible to such other specified users, and providing the Services necessary to do so.  Also, you grant such other specified users a license to access that Limited Audience User Submission, and to use and exercise all rights in it.

If you share a User Submission publicly on the Services and/or in a manner that more than just you or certain specified users can view, or if you provide us (in a direct email or otherwise) with any feedback, suggestions, improvements, enhancements, and/or feature requests relating to the Services (each of the foregoing, a “Public User Submission”), then you grant ad2sale the licenses above, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Public User Submission for the purpose of making that Public User Submission accessible to all ad2sale users and providing the Services necessary to do so, as well as all other rights necessary to use and exercise all rights in that Public User Submission in connection with the Services and/or otherwise in connection with ad2sale' business.  Also, you grant all other users of the Services a license to access that Public User Submission, and to use and exercise all rights in it, as permitted by the functionality of the Services.

You agree that the licenses you grant are royalty-free, perpetual, sublicenseable, irrevocable, and worldwide, provided that when you delete your ad2sale account, we will stop displaying your User Submissions (other than Public User Submissions, which may remain fully available) to other users (if applicable) within a reasonable time, but you understand and agree that we may be required by law or otherwise to retain your account information or any other information associated with it and it may not be possible to completely delete that content from ad2sale' records, and that your User Submissions may remain viewable elsewhere to the extent that they were copied or stored by other users.  Further, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, you waive your moral rights and promise not to assert such rights or any other intellectual property or publicity rights against us, our sublicensees, or our assignees.

Finally, you understand and agree that ad2sale, in performing the required technical steps to provide the Services to our users (including you), may need to make changes to your User Submissions to conform and adapt those User Submissions to the technical requirements of connection networks, devices, services, or media, and the foregoing licenses include the rights to do so.

You represent and warrant that none of the following infringe any rights mentioned in the preceding paragraph: your provision of content to us, your causing content to be posted using the Services, and use of any such content (including of works derived from it) by us, our users, or others in contract with us that is done in connection with the Services and in compliance with these Terms.

Who is responsible for what I see and do on the Services?

You are solely responsible for any information or content publicly posted or privately transmitted through the Services by you or through a device linked to you, and you access all such information and content at your own risk.  ad2sale is not liable for any errors or omissions in that information or content or for any damages or loss you might suffer in connection with it.  We cannot control and have no duty to take any action regarding how you may interpret and use any items or information posted, uploaded, shared, stored, or otherwise provided through the Services by other users (“Content”) or what actions you may take as a result of having been exposed to the Content, and you hereby release us from all liability for you having acquired or not acquired Content through the Services.  We can't guarantee the identity of any users with whom you interact in using the Services and are not responsible for which users gain access to the Services.
