By registering as a member or by using the TEEM Service in any way, you accept these Terms of Service (“Agreement”), which forms a binding agreement between you and TEEM. If you do not wish to be bound by this Agreement, do not use the TEEM Service. ***

1. Who May Use the TEEM Service

AGE REQUIREMENT: You must be at least 13 years old to use the TEEM Service. If you are at least 13, but are still a minor (this depends on where you live), you must have your parent or legal guardian’s permission to use the TEEM Service. Please have him or her read this Agreement with you.

NOTICE TO PARENTS AND GUARDIANS: By granting your child permission to use the TEEM Service, you agree to the terms of this Agreement on behalf of your child. You are responsible for monitoring and supervising your child’s use of the TEEM Service. If your child is using the TEEM Service and is either under 13 or does not have your permission, please contact us immediately so that we can disable his or her access. If you have questions about whether the TEEM Service is appropriate for your child, please contact us at [email protected].

WARNING: Even if you are old enough to use the TEEM Service and/or have your parent’s or guardian’s permission, some of the content available within the TEEM Service may not be appropriate for you. Some content may contain “R-rated” material, nudity, profanity, and mature subject matter. If you are under 18, do not view such content.

2. License to Use the TEEM Service

LICENSE: TEEM grants you a limited, non-exclusive license to access and use the TEEM Service for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. This includes the right to view content available on the TEEM Service. This license is personal to you and may not be assigned or sublicensed to anyone else.

RESTRICTIONS: Except as expressly permitted by TEEM in writing, you will not reproduce, redistribute, sell, create derivative works from, decompile, reverse engineer, or disassemble the TEEM Service. Nor will you take any measures to interfere with or damage the TEEM Service. All rights not expressly granted by TEEM are reserved.

3. Privacy

If you are a business, government, or non-profit entity, the person whose email address is associated with the account must have the authority to bind the entity to this Agreement.

ACCOUNT SECURITY: You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, including any activity by unauthorized users. You must not allow others to use your account. You must safeguard the confidentiality of your password. If you are using a computer that others have access to, you must log out of your account after using the TEEM Service.

6. Term and Termination; Account Deletion

TERM: This Agreement begins on the date you first use the TEEM Service and continues as long as you have an account with us.

ACCOUNT DELETION: You may delete your account at any time. Basic accounts may be deleted from the TEEM Service if they remain inactive (i.e., the user fails to log in) for a continuous period of at least six (6) months.

TERMINATION FOR BREACH: TEEM may suspend, disable, or delete your account (or any part thereof) or block or remove any content you submitted if TEEM determines that you have violated any provision of this Agreement or that your conduct or content would tend to damage TEEM’s reputation and goodwill. If TEEM deletes your account for the foregoing reasons, you may not re-register for the TEEM Service. TEEM may block your email address and Internet protocol address to prevent further registration.

EFFECT OF TERMINATION/ACCOUNT DELETION: Upon termination, all licenses granted by TEEM will terminate. Sections 6 and 11 though 16 shall survive termination.

You grant TEEM and its affiliates a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license and right to copy, transmit, distribute, publicly perform and display (through all media now known or hereafter created), and make derivative works from your non-media content. In addition, you waive any so-called “moral rights” in your non-media content. You further grant all users of the TEEM Service permission to view your non-media content for their personal, non-commercial purposes. If you make suggestions to TEEM on improving or adding new features to the TEEM Service, TEEM shall have the right to use your suggestions without any compensation to you.

TEEM respects the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that your copyright has been infringed, please send us a notice at [email protected] for intellectual property claims.

13. Disclaimers

TEEM reserves the right to modify the TEEM Service. You are responsible for providing your own access (e.g., computer, mobile device, Internet connection, etc.) to the TEEM Service. TEEM has no obligation to screen or monitor any Content and does not guarantee that any Content available on the TEEM Service complies with this Agreement or is suitable for all users.

TEEM provides the TEEM Service on an “as is” and “as available” basis. You therefore use the TEEM Service at your own risk. TEEM expressly disclaims any and all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any other warranty that might arise under any law. Without limiting the foregoing, TEEM makes no representations or warranties:

  • That the TEEM Service will be permitted in your jurisdiction;

All pictures, graphics, videos, and other visual media displayed on the TEEM Service are exempt from 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and 28 C.F.R. 75 because they do not consist of depictions of conduct as specifically listed in 18 U.S.C. § 2256 (2) (A) – (D), but are merely, at most, depictions of non-sexually explicit nudity, or are depictions of simulated sexual conduct, or are otherwise exempt because the visual depictions were created prior to July 3, 1995. TEEM is not the primary producer of the visual Content contained in the TEEM Service.
