BY USING OR ACCESSING THE SERVICE IN ANY MANNER, YOU SIGNIFY THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, INCLUDING ALL DATASPLASH POLICIES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU AND GOVERN YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ABIDE BY THESE TERMS, YOUR SOLE REMEDY IS TO NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICE.

Use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. Your privacy is important to us. We designed our Privacy Policy to make important disclosures about how we collect and use your information and how you can use the Service to share such information with others. We encourage you to read our Privacy Policy, carefully, and use it to help make informed decisions.

DataSplash has the discretion to update these Terms of Service at any time. We will revise the “Updated” date on this page when we make material changes to these Terms of Service. Any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new tools and resources, shall be subject to the Terms of Service. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes shall constitute your consent to be bound by any such changes to the Terms of Service. If you do not agree with the revised Terms of Service, your only recourse is to cease use and access of the Service.

In order to use the Service, you must be 13 years or older. If you are 13 or older, but under the age of 18, then your parent or guardian must understand and agree to the Terms of Service. You represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements. If you are using or opening an account on the Service on behalf of a company, entity, or organization, then you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of that entity with the authority to bind such entity to these Terms. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to that particular company, entity, or organization.

To access and use the Service, you may register for an account. When registering, you must fill in all mandatory fields with accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted in the registration form and keep this information up to date. You may not register accounts with unauthorized automated methods (“bots”). DataSplash has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all use of the Service if it suspects that your account information is inaccurate, not current or incomplete. DataSplash may also adjust any and all functions, features, options, utilities, tools or other aspects of the Service at any time without prior notice to you.

Paid Services

Registration for a DataSplash account and access to selected features of the Service are currently provided to you free of charge. DataSplash is not intended for commercial use. DataSplash may charge fees to commercial users for access to certain portions of the Service (“Paid Services”), and will notify you of those fees at the time that we offer you a Paid Service. You may not share access to a Paid Service with any other individual. By electing to access a Paid Service, you authorize DataSplash to direct its third party payment processor to charge the credit card identified by you (which you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use) all applicable fees for that Paid Service in U.S. dollars, including all applicable taxes. If DataSplash does not receive payment from your credit card provider, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand and DataSplash may suspend your access to the Paid Services until you have paid all outstanding amounts. You agree to reimburse any costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by DataSplash to collect any amounts that are not paid when due. You may cancel your use of a Paid Service or your account at any time. All sales are final and DataSplash will not refund any amounts paid, except as expressly provided in these Terms. You acknowledge that DataSplash reserves the right to change its fees at any time upon prior notice to you. At no time will you be charged without your prior knowledge and consent.

Third-Party Services

To the extent that the Service interacts with third party services, if a third party ceases providing a relevant service, it may affect DataSplash’s ability to provide part or all of the Service. Under such circumstances, DataSplash may cease providing the Service. In addition, the Service may contain links to websites of third parties as a service to those interested in this information. We do not monitor or endorse any such websites and can make no guarantee as to their accuracy or completeness. You should review the applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any third party websites accessible through the Service. In addition, the Service may contain advertisements from third parties. Any terms, conditions, warranties, or representations associated with such advertisements or any products or services provided by third party advertisers to you are solely between you and such third party.

Member Disputes

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other members of the DataSplash community. DataSplash reserves the right, but has no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other members.

Notice of Copyright Infringement

DataSplash respects the intellectual property rights of others, and asks you to do the same. It is DataSplash’s policy to terminate the access privileges of those who repeatedly infringe the copyright rights of others. If you believe that your work has been posted on the Service in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please contact DataSplash’s copyright agent at the address below and provide the following information - (a) an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) a description of the copyright-protected work that you claim has been infringed; (c) the location on the Service of the material that you claim is infringing; (d) your address, telephone number, and email address; (e) a statement by you regarding your good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf. By submitting a copyright infringement notice, you acknowledge and agree that DataSplash or its copyright agent may forward the information you provide in this notice to the person who uploaded the allegedly infringing material. You may write to DataSplash’s designated agent for notice of copyright infringement at:

By submitting a copyright infringement notice, you acknowledge and agree that DataSplash or its copyright agent may forward the information you provide in this notice to the person who uploaded the allegedly infringing material. DataSplash will remove any content that allegedly infringes upon the copyright of any person under the laws of the United States upon receipt of such a statement (or, more specifically, any statement in conformance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)). United States law provides significant penalties for submitting such a statement falsely.

If you believe that your removed or disabled User Content is not infringing, or that you have the authorization or right to post and use that User Content from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to law, you may send a counter-notice containing the information required by Section 512(g)(3) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 USC § 512(g)(3)). DataSplash or its copyright agent will forward your counter-notification to the party who submitted the original copyright infringement claim. If the original claimant does not file an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity related to the removed or disabled User Content within ten (10) business days of receiving the counter-notice from DataSplash, then DataSplash may, in its sole discretion, reinstate the removed or disabled material. Please note that under Section 512(f) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability.

Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. DATASPLASH MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER RELATING TO THE SERVICE, LINKED SITES, OR OTHER CONTENT THAT MAY BE ACCESSIBLE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY THROUGH THE SERVICE. DATASPLASH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND WARRANTIES AGAINST INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD-PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. FURTHER, THERE IS NO WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR NEEDS OR REQUIREMENTS OR THE NEEDS OR REQUIREMENTS OF ANY OTHER PERSON.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, DATASPLASH MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED - (A) THAT THE INFORMATION, GRAPHS, CHARTS, DATA AND OTHER CONTENT PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, AND COMPLETE AND FREE FROM ERRORS, OMISSIONS, DEFECTS, OR DELAYS IN OPERATION; (B) THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME OR LOCATION; (C) THAT DEFECTS OR ERRORS IN THE SERVICE WILL BE CORRECTED; OR (D) THAT THE CONTENT ON THE SERVICE IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT WILL DATASPLASH OR ITS AFFILIATES, OR ANY PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE SERVICE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF YOUR ACCESS, USE, MISUSE, OR INABILITY TO USE THE CONTENT, SERVICE OR ANY LINKED SITES, OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LOST OR CORRUPTED DATA OR USER CONTENT OR UNAUTHORIZED THIRD PARTY ACCESS TO ANY DATA OR USER CONTENT, FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, DEFECT, DELAY IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION, COMPUTER VIRUS, OR LINE OR SYSTEM FAILURE. IN THE EVENT THAT YOU HAVE A DISPUTE WITH ANOTHER USER IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, YOU RELEASE DATASPLASH FROM ANY CLAIMS, DEMANDS, AND DAMAGES OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH SUCH A DISPUTE. THE MAXIMUM TOTAL LIABILITY OF DATASPLASH, ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, IS THE LESSER OF - (A) THE AMOUNT RECEIVED BY PLOTLY FROM YOU DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR (B) $100.

EACH PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND DATASPLASH. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER BASIS, EVEN IF DATASPLASH HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, AND EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF DAMAGES, DATASPLASH 'S LIABILITY IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS WILL BE LIMITED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Indemnification

You will indemnify, defend and hold DataSplash and its licensors harmless (and our respective employees, directors, agents, affiliates and representatives) from and against any and all claims, costs, losses, damages, judgments, tax assessments, penalties, interest, and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any claim, action, audit, investigation, inquiry, or other proceeding instituted by a person or entity that arises out of or relates to - (i) your use of the Service or any activity on the Service via your account, (ii) your violation of any provision of these Terms including any of your covenants, warranties or representations hereunder, (iii) any User Content uploaded to DataSplash, or (iv) the collection, storage, or disclosure of personal or health data or disclosure of personal information or health data in violation of applicable law, or any failure to obtain consents or authorizations for such data required by applicable law. DataSplash reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims. You may not settle any matter without the prior written consent from DataSplash.

Choice of Law and Forum

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Virginia. The provisions of the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act, however designated, are excluded and will not apply to these Terms or any transactions under these Terms. If there is any dispute between us concerning the Terms or your access to or use of the Service, we both agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located in Arlington, Va for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.

Feedback

If you provide feedback to DataSplash regarding the Service or Content (“Feedback”), you authorize DataSplash to use that Feedback without restriction and without payment to you. Accordingly, you hereby grant to us a fully paid up, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, fully transferable and sublicensable license to use the Feedback in any manner and for any purpose.

No Waiver

The failure of DataSplash to enforce any provisions of these Terms or respond to a breach by you or other parties will not in any way waive DataSplash’s right to enforce subsequently any terms or conditions of these Terms or to act with respect to similar breaches.

Notice

DataSplash may provide you with notices by electronic mail, regular mail or postings on the Service. If notice is provided by electronic mail, notice will be deemed given 48 hours after electronic mail is sent, unless DataSplash is notified that the electronic mail address is invalid. If notice is provided by posting through the Service, then notice will be deemed given upon such posting. Alternatively, we may give you legal notice by mail to a postal address, if provided by you through the Service. In such case, notice will be deemed given 7 days after the date of mailing.

Miscellaneous

You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and DataSplash as a result of these Terms or your access to and use of the Service. A printed version of these Terms and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. This Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by DataSplash without restriction, including by operation of law, merger, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets to which these Terms pertains. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of these Terms shall be void. Unless otherwise specified herein, these Terms constitutes the entire agreement between you and DataSplash and governs your use of the Service.
