Terms of Service
Last Updated on May 24, 2018. These terms and conditions are effective immediately for those registering accounts after that date. These terms and conditions (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of Qmoo’s application and any websites and mobile applications that link to or reference these Terms (“App”). By accessing or using the App, you are agreeing to these Terms and concluding a legally binding contract with Qmoo AB, a company incorporated in Sweden (“Qmoo”). Do not access or use the App if you are unwilling or unable to be bound by the Terms.
Definitions
Parties
“You” and “your” refer to you, as a user of the App. A “user” is someone who accesses, browses, crawls, scrapes, or in any way uses the App. “We”, “us”, and “our” refer to Qmoo.
Content
“Content” means text, images, photos, audio, video, location data, and all other forms of data or communication. “Your Content” means Content that you submit or transmit to, through, or in connection with the App, such as ratings, reviews, compliments, invitations, check-ins, messages, and information that you publicly display or displayed in your account profile. “User Content” means Content that users submit or transmit to, through, or in connection with the App. “Qmoo Content” means Content that we create and make available in connection with the App. “Third Party Content” means Content that originates from parties other than Qmoo or its users, which is made available in connection with the App. “App Content” means all of the Content that is made available in connection with the App, including Your Content, User Content, Third Party Content, and Qmoo Content.
Changes to the Terms of Service
We may modify the Terms from time to time. You understand and agree that your access to or use of the App is governed by the Terms effective at the time of your access to or use of the App. If we make material changes to these Terms, we will notify you by posting a notice on the App prior to the effective date of the changes. We will also indicate at the top of this page the date that revisions were last made. You should revisit these Terms on a regular basis as revised versions will be binding on you. Any such modification will be effective upon our posting of new Terms. You understand and agree that your continued access to or use of the App after the effective date of modifications to the Terms indicates your acceptance of the modifications.

We may translate these Terms into other languages for your convenience. Nevertheless, the English version governs your relationship with Qmoo, and any inconsistencies among the different versions will be resolved in favor of the English version.
Using the App
Eligibility
To access or use the App, you must be 18 years or older and have the requisite power and authority to enter into these Terms. You may not access or use the App if you are a competitor of ours or if we have previously banned you from the App or closed your account.
Permission to Use the App
We grant you permission to use the App subject to the restrictions in these Terms. Your use of the App is at your own risk, including the risk that you might be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent, inaccurate, objectionable, or otherwise inappropriate.
App Availability
The App may be modified, updated, interrupted, suspended or discontinued at any time without notice or liability.
User Accounts
You must log in via a personal Facebook-account providing Qmoo with the public information about yourself in order to access the features that are offered through the App. You are responsible for maintaining any confidentiality of your account and possible password. You are also responsible for all activities that occur in connection with your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. We reserve the right to close your account at any time for any or no reason.
Your account is for your personal, non-commercial use only. In creating it, we ask that you provide complete and accurate information about yourself to bolster your credibility as a contributor to the App. You may not impersonate someone else (e.g., adopt the identity of a celebrity or your next-door neighbor), create or use an account for anyone other than yourself, provide an email address other than your own, or create multiple accounts. If you use a pseudonym, take care to note that others may still be able to identify you if, for example, you include identifying information in your reviews and/or ratings, use the same account information on other Apps, or allow other Apps to share information about you with Qmoo. Please read our Privacy Policy for more information.
Communications from Qmoo and other Users
By downloading and start using the App, you agree to receive certain communications in connection with the App. For example, you might receive compliments or friend requests from other Users. You will also receive our push notifications about happenings. You can opt-out of non-essential communications here.

Our Right to Use Your Content
We may use Your Content in a number of different ways, including publicly displaying it, reformatting it, incorporating it into advertisements and other works, creating derivative works from it, promoting it, distributing it, and allowing others to do the same in connection with their own websites and media platforms (“Other Media”) in accordance of our Privacy Policy. As such, you hereby irrevocably grant us world-wide, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, assignable, sublicensable, transferable rights to use Your Content for any purpose.
