As a condition to using certain features of the Services, you may be required to create an account (an "Account") and select a password and Mapraider username (an "Alias").
You should provide Mapraider with accurate, complete, and updated registration information, particularly your e-mail address, and failure to do so may result in suspension of your Account.
You agree that you shall not select or use as an Alias a name of another person or entity with the intent to impersonate that person or entity or with the intent to otherwise cause confusion as to the origin or provenance of your Account.
You are also responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account password and for the security of your Account, and you will notify Mapraider immediately of any actual or suspected loss, theft, or unauthorized use of your Account or Account password.
Any information you provide to Mapraider is subject to Mapraider's Privacy Policy, which governs our collection and use of your information. You understand that through your use of the Services you consent to the collection and use (as set forth in the Privacy Policy) of this information.
We may make messaging or chat services (collectively, "Communications") available to users of our site. Communications through these services are not public. However, they may be periodically monitored by us, either directly or through automated means, for abuse of the terms outlined in this agreement. We will not disclose the contents of Communications except with the consent of the sender or the recipient, or as other required by law or by court or governmental order.
Mailboxes may have a limited storage capacity. If you exceed the maximum permitted storage space, we may employ automated devices that delete or block email messages that exceed the limit. We will not be responsible for such deleted or blocked messages.
Definitions:
For purposes of this Agreement: (1) the term "Content" means a creative expression and includes, without limitation, video, audio, photographs, images, illustrations, animations, logos, tools, written posts, replies, and comments, information, data, text, software, scripts, executable files, graphics, and interactive features, any of which may be generated, provided, or otherwise made accessible on or through the Services; (2) the term "User Content" is all Content that is posted or otherwise provided or transferred to the Services by a user of the Service (including, without limitation, by you); and Content also includes, without limitation, all User Content.
Ownership:
Users retain ownership of all intellectual property rights in their User Content, and Mapraider and/or third parties retain ownership of all intellectual property rights in all Content other than User Content.
User Content License to Mapraider:
When you transfer User Content to Mapraider through the Services, you give Mapraider a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable right and license to use, host, store, cache, reproduce, publish, display (publicly or otherwise), perform (publicly or otherwise), distribute, transmit, modify and adapt (including, without limitation, in order to conform it to the requirements of any networks, devices, services, or media through which the Services are available) such User Content. The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating the Services in accordance with their functionality, improving the Services, and allowing Mapraider to develop new Services.
You also agree that this license includes the right for Mapraider to make all publicly-posted Content available to third parties selected by Mapraider, so that those third parties (eg. file hosting providers) can distribute and/or analyze such Content on other media and services.
Note also that this license to your User Content continues even if you stop using the Services, primarily because of the social nature of Content shared through the Services — when you post something publicly, others may choose to comment on it, making your Content part of a social conversation that cannot later be erased without retroactively censoring the speech of others.
You also agree that you will respect the intellectual property rights of others, and represent that you have all of the necessary rights to grant us this license for all User Content you submit to the Services.
Content License to You:
As a User of the Services, Mapraider grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable license to download, store, view, display and perform Content solely in connection with your use of, and in accordance with the functionality and restrictions of, the Services (including, without limitation, Paid Services, as defined below).

- orchestrates or engages schemes to gain non-genuine gestures like follows, favorites or ratings.

We neither endorse nor assume any liability for the contents of any material uploaded or submitted by third party users of the Services. We generally do not pre-screen, monitor, or edit the content posted by users of communications services, chat rooms, message boards, newsgroups, software libraries, or other interactive tools that may be available on or through these Services. However, we and our agents have the right at their sole discretion to remove any content that, in our judgment, does not comply with these Terms of Use and any other rules of user conduct for our Services, or is otherwise harmful, objectionable, or inaccurate. We are not responsible for any failure or delay in removing such content. You hereby consent to such removal and waive any claim against us arising out of such removal of content. See "Unauthorized Use of Materials; DMCA Copyright Policy" below for a description of the procedures to be followed in the event that any party believes that content posted on this site infringes on any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, right of publicity, or other proprietary right of any party.
In addition, you may not use your account to breach security of another account or attempt to gain unauthorized access to another network or server. Not all areas of the Services may be available to you or other authorized users of the site. You shall not interfere with anyone else's use and enjoyment of the Services or other similar services. Users who violate systems or network security may incur criminal or civil liability.
Termination and Deletion:
On termination of your Account or upon your deletion of particular pieces of User Content from the Services, Mapraider shall make reasonable efforts to make such User Content inaccessible and cease use of it; however, you acknowledge and agree that: (a) caching of, copies of, or references to the User Content may not be immediately removed; and (b) such removed User Content may persist in our database or backups not available to others.
Our Services may contain links to other sites on the Internet or otherwise include references to information, documents, software, materials and/or services provided by other parties. These sites may contain information or material that some people may find inappropriate or offensive. These other sites and parties are not under our control, and you acknowledge that we are not responsible for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality, decency, or any other aspect of the content of such sites, nor are we responsible for errors or omissions in any references to other parties or their products and services. The inclusion of such a link or reference is provided merely as a convenience and does not imply endorsement of, or association with, the site or party by us, or any warranty of any kind, either express or implied.
From time to time, our Services may include advertisements offered by third parties. You may enter into correspondence with or participate in promotions of the advertisers showing their products on this site. Any such correspondence or promotions, including the delivery of and the payment for goods and services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such correspondence or promotions, are solely between you and the advertiser.
