Creating an Account on Flowjin
You may be required to sign up for an account and select a password.
You promise to provide us with accurate, complete, and up-to-date
registration information about yourself.
You agree that you will only use Flowjin for your own personal or
organizational use, and not on behalf of or for the benefit of any
third party. You may not transfer your account to anyone else without
our prior written permission.
You may not select as your Flowjin account a name that you don't have
the right to use, or another person's name with the intent to
impersonate that person. Flowjin reserves the right to refuse
registration of or cancel a Flowjin account name at its discretion.
Posting Content on Flowjin
First and foremost, you own what you create. Any original content you
post, upload, share, store, or otherwise provide to Flowjin remains
yours and is protected by copyright and any other applicable
intellectual property laws.
That includes Flows, subscriber lists, any other media you upload in
your Flows, and any information that you provide to obtain a Flowjin
account. It also includes any questions or answers posted on any
current or future Flow posts on Flowjin.
Anything posted, uploaded, stored, or otherwise provided through
Flowjin is referred to as a "Post" in these Terms. There are a few
rules that apply to all Posts:
-
Don't Infringe: Your Posts should not violate someone else's
(including Flowjin's) rights. Don't copy, reproduce, modify,
translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform,
upload, display, license, sell, commercialize or otherwise exploit
for any purpose any content not owned by you unless you have prior
consent from the owner of that content.
-
Limited License to Us: In order to display your Posts on Flowjin,
and to allow other users to enjoy them, you grant us certain rights
in your Posts:
-
Operating Flowjin: You hereby grant Flowjin a license to translate,
modify, reproduce, and otherwise act with respect to your Posts to
enable us to provide, improve, and notify you about new features
within Flowjin. You understand and agree that we may need to make
changes to your Posts to conform and adapt those Posts to the
technical requirements of networks, devices, services, or media, and
this license includes the rights to do so. For example, we may need
to modify your Flow to make sure it is viewable on an iPhone as well
as a computer.
-
Public Posts: If you share a Post with other users on Flowjin, then
you grant us the license above, as well as a license to display,
perform, and distribute your Post. Also, you grant all other users
of Flowjin a license to access the Post, and to use and exercise all
rights in it, as permitted by the functionality of Flowjin.
-
Term of License: You agree that the licenses you grant are
royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and worldwide. This is a
license only – your ownership in Posts is not affected.
We reserve the right to remove any content from Flowjin at any time,
for any reason (including, but not limited to, if someone alleges you
contributed that content in violation of these Terms), in our sole
discretion, and without notice.
Intellectual Property and Reporting Infringement
We respect others' intellectual property rights, and we reserve the
right to delete or disable content alleged to be infringing, and to
terminate the accounts of repeat alleged infringers. You promise to
abide by copyright notices, trademark rules, information, and other
restrictions you may receive from us or that are posted on Flowjin.

Paid Subscriptions on Flowjin
If you create Flows through Flowjin, you are a
Creator. If you subscribe to a Flow, you are a
Subscriber. Subscribers subscribe to Flows directly
through the Creator's subdomain on Flowjin.
A Creator may offer their Flows for free or for a subscription fee, to
be determined in the Creator's discretion. Subscribers may choose to
subscribe to Creator Flows on Flowjin and agree to incur any
applicable subscription fees.
Creators will set prices for their Flows, and may change the prices at
their sole discretion through their Flow settings, though no price
changes shall apply retroactively.
In the event that a Subscriber has a dispute with a Creator, you agree
that Flowjin is under no obligation to become involved other than to
direct any inquiries regarding a Creator's Flow to the appropriate
Creator pursuant to the
Creator Agreement. To learn more
about how Flowjin manages its relationships with Creators, you should
check out the Creator Agreement.
Terminating Your Account
Flowjin is free to terminate (or suspend access to) your use of
Flowjin, or your account, for any reason at our discretion. We will
try to provide advance notice to you prior to our terminating your
account so that you are able to retrieve any important Posts you may
have uploaded to your account, but we may not do so if we determine it
would be impractical, illegal, not in the interest of someone's safety
or security, or otherwise harmful to the rights or property of
Flowjin.
Flowjin also allows you to delete your account at any time, to request
the deletion of your account you may contact us at
contact@flowjin.com. When you delete your account, any Posts
associated with that account will also be deleted. However, any Post
that you have made public may remain available.
You understand and agree that it may not be possible to completely
delete your content from Flowjin's records or backups, and that your
Posts may remain viewable elsewhere to the extent that they were
copied or stored by other users. Please refer to our
Privacy Policy to understand how we
treat information you provide to us after you have stopped using
Flowjin.
You agree that some of the obligations in these Terms will be in force
even after you terminate your account. All of the following terms will
survive termination: any obligation you have to pay us or indemnify
us, any limitations on our liability, any terms regarding ownership of
intellectual property rights, terms regarding disputes between us, and
any other terms that, by their nature, should survive termination of
these Terms.
If you have deleted your account by mistake, contact us immediately at
contact@Flowjin.com – we will try to help, but unfortunately, we can't
promise that we can recover or restore anything.

Changes to Flowjin
We're always trying to improve Flowjin, so our products and services
may change over time. We may suspend or discontinue any part of
Flowjin, or we may introduce new features or impose limits on certain
features or restrict access to parts or all of Flowjin. We'll try to
give you notice when we make a material change to Flowjin that would
adversely affect you, but this isn't always possible or practical.
Changes to the Terms
We are constantly trying to improve our products and services, so
these Terms may need to change along with Flowjin. We reserve the
right to change the Terms at any time, but if we do, we will bring it
to your attention by placing a notice on the website, by sending you
an email, and/or by some other means.
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 Flowjin.
If you use Flowjin in any way after a change to the Terms is effective
and notice has been provided, that means you agree to all of the
changes.
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.
Violations of the Terms
Failure to follow any of these Terms shall constitute a breach of
these Terms, which may result in immediate termination of your
account. Flowjin has the sole right to decide whether you are in
violation of any of the restrictions set forth in these Terms.
