The Application and the Site are referred to together as the “Service.” Please read this Agreement carefully. By downloading, installing, and/or using the Application or accessing and/or using the Site, you agree to be bound by and comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You hereby represent and warrant that you are legally able to form a binding contract with Ripl. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, do not download, install and/or use the Application or access and/or use the Site. We may at our sole discretion change, add, modify, or delete portions of this Agreement from time to time. Please review this Agreement for changes prior to use of the Service. Your continued use of the Service following the posting of changes to this Agreement constitutes your acceptance of any changes. This is an agreement between you and Ripl, and not with Apple, Inc. (“Apple”), or Google, Inc. (“Google”), or others.

  1. Provision of Access

    Ripl shall make the Service available to you pursuant to this Agreement during your Subscription Term, solely for your own internal business purposes. You agree that your purchase of the Service is neither contingent upon the delivery of any future functionality or features nor dependent upon any oral or written public comments made by Ripl with respect to future functionality or features. “Subscription Term” means the then-current Initial Term or Renewal Term of your order for the Service during which you are authorized to use or access the Service pursuant to the terms set forth in this Agreement, unless earlier terminated as set forth in Section 13.

     

  2. Limited License to the Service and Content

This license does not allow you to use the Application on any device that you do not own or control, and you may not distribute or make the Application available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices at the same time. This license does not entitle you to receive from us hard-copy documentation, support, telephone assistance, or enhancements or updates to the Application, and Apple and Google have no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services regarding the Application. The terms of this license will govern any upgrades provided by us that replace or supplement the original Application unless such upgrade is accompanied by a separate license in which case the terms of that license will govern.
     

    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Ripl grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, and non-transferable license to use, publish, distribute, and display the pre-approved backgrounds, imagery, and music provided in the Service for the purposes of creating digital media content through the Service (“Licensed Materials”).

  11. Third-Party Content
     

    Ripl, in its discretion, offers opportunities for its users to contribute User Submissions through the Service. You understand and agree that User Submissions are third- party content and are not created by Ripl. You understand that the Service aggregates User Submissions and other material in the Services, and that the User Submissions and other material does not necessarily represent the views of Ripl.

    When using the Ripl Client to share with YouTube you are agreeing to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service at https://www.youtube.com/t/terms.

     

    Ripl may also make available for your use certain third-party Licensed Materials (e.g. images) to help you create your digital media content. You agree to abide by any additional third-party use restrictions for such content, including the following: (i) content is for digital use only, originating from Ripl, (ii) content cannot be used for print purposes, (iii) content cannot be used as a trademark for your business, (iv) you may not use the content to portray a person in a way that may be offensive, including: in connection with adult-oriented services or ads for dating services; in connection with the promotion of tobacco products; in connection with political endorsements; with pornographic, defamatory, unlawful, offensive or immoral content; and as suffering from, or being treated for, a physical or mental ailment, and (v) you may only use the content in campaigns and content created on Ripl.

    In the case of Promotions, the bestowal of an award or prize by Ripl or its partner(s) does not signify Ripl’s endorsement of that User Submission.
     

    Through your use of the Service, you may be exposed to User Submissions or other material that you may find inaccurate, deceptive, offensive, objectionable, or harmful. All User Submissions and other material are provided for your convenience only, and you assume all associated risks.
     

  12. Third-Party Websites


    You may be able to link from the Service to third-party websites that take you outside of the Service (“Linked Sites”). Ripl has no responsibility for the information, content, products, services, advertising, code or other material, which may be provided through the Linked Sites. Your interactions with Linked Sites are subject to the terms of service and other policies of those sites, so please use common sense as you navigate the Web and be aware when you leave the Service.
     

  13. Change or Update to Service; Term; Termination


    The “Term” of the Agreement shall be the duration of the then-current Initial Term or Renewal Term(s) of your applicable subscription for the Service. For purposes of clarity, the Term of this Agreement will commence on: (i) the effective date specified in your subscription order, or (ii) at the time of download of the Application (as applicable), and will continue until you terminate your subscription to the Services, or Ripl terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.
     

    The “Initial Term” for each subscription order will commence on the effective date set forth on such order, or at the time of download of the Application (as applicable), and will continue for the subscription period selected by the user. Unless otherwise set forth on the relevant order, each order will automatically renew after the Initial Term for successive monthly or annual periods (each a “Renewal Term”), as applicable, unless you give Ripl prior written notice of your intent not to renew such subscription at least one (1) day prior to the end of the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term. Ripl may increase the Fees due under orders for the applicable Renewal Terms (if any) by providing notice to Customer of such increase at the time of renewal.
     

    You are permitted to continue use of the Service from the time of your notice of non-renewal through the end of the then applicable Term. However, Ripl is not obligated to refund to you any prepaid Fees for any Term. Ripl, at its sole discretion, and on a case-by-case base, may opt to refund Fees to its users.
     

    Ripl shall have the right for any reason, in its sole discretion, to terminate, change, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any aspect of the Service, including but not limited to content or features, without notice to you.

From time to time, Ripl may make available updates or upgrades to the Service via software download or other means.
