You also hereby grant each member or user a non-exclusive license to access the User Content you post through the Service, and to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display and perform that content as permitted through the functionality of the Service and the Site and under the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent your User Content consists of data inputted by you or your users into the Web-based Offering, the Desktop, or through use of a Tool for the purpose of facilitating your use of the applicable Web-based Offering, the Desktop, or the Tool, the licenses set forth in the preceding two paragraphs are limited to Spiceworks’ use of that data for your benefit (e.g., to make available or support your use of the Web-based Offering, Desktop, or Tool), in aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified form that does not identify you or your company individually and for other uses required by law. You may remove your User Content from the Site at any time but you acknowledge that once you have posted any User Content to the Site, other users may have retained a copy of your User Content and may still have access to those copies despite your removal of the User Content from the Site. You acknowledge that this User Content may persist in backup copies, derivative works, or aggregate form for a period of time. The Service contains content created by us, by third parties, and by our users and members.

It also includes information about products and services offered by parties other than Spiceworks, such as product descriptions, specifications, pricing, availability, and performance. We do not guarantee the accuracy, the integrity, or the quality of the content on the Service, and you may not rely on any of this content. Without limitation, we are not responsible for postings by users in the reports, scripts, plugins, widgets, product rating, product review, user opinion, message board, feedback, or any other sections of the Service. You should not rely on that information in situations where its inaccuracy would cause you to suffer any loss (see Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability sections below).

You may not post or transmit any advertising, promotional materials or any other solicitation of other users or members to use or buy products, goods or services except in those areas (e.g., a classified bulletin board) that are designated for that purpose and as expressly permitted. You agree that any employment or other relationship you form or attempt to form with an employer, employee, or contractor whom you contact through the Service or the Site that may be designated for that purpose is between you and that employer, employee, or contractor alone, and not with us. You may not copy or use personal identifying or business contact information about other users or members without their permission. Unsolicited e-mails, mailings, telephone calls, or other communications to individuals or companies whose contact details you obtain through the Service are prohibited.

In addition to being grounds for removal of your posting, termination of your user account, termination of your membership, and any other remedy Spiceworks may have against you, your failure to own or obtain those rights may subject you to civil and/or criminal liability. If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof, and you believe any content submitted to and hosted on the Service infringes your copyrights, then you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”).

DESKTOP AND TOOLS TERMS If you download, install, or access the Desktop or Tools, the following provisions apply to you. License. The Desktop and Tools are licensed, not sold, to you for use only under the terms of the Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of and your ongoing compliance with the Agreement, including without limitation payment of the applicable fees (if any), Spiceworks hereby grants you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to download, install, and use the Desktop or Tools on equipment or compatible devices owned or controlled by you or your Consenting Users, and in each case solely for your personal, non-commercial use, or, if you are an entity rather than an individual, to allow your employees and contractors to use the Desktop for the sole benefit of you and your Consenting Users, if each of those employees or contractors has agreed to and is bound by the Agreement. “Consenting Users” means individuals who have authorized you to use the Desktop or Tools in connection with and install any related components on equipment or compatible devices that they own or control for the purposes of collecting Collected Data and who have agreed to be bound by the terms of the Agreement. The scope of the license granted under the preceding paragraph does not include the right to use the Desktop or Tools in connection with, in any manner, the following types of information: (a) payment card information or any information governed under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard; (b) “nonpublic personal information” as the term is defined in 15 U.S.C. § 6809 or other information subject to any applicable financial privacy law; (c) protected health information, as the term is defined in 45 C.F.R. 160.103; (d) Social Security numbers; or (e) with regard to the processing of personal data subject to Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, “sensitive” personal data. The foregoing data constitutes “Prohibited Data.” Automatic Updates. The Desktop or Tools may communicate with Spiceworks’ servers to check for available updates to the software, such as bug fixes, patches, enhanced functions, missing plugins and new versions. During this process, the Desktop or Tools may send Spiceworks a request for the latest version information. By installing the Desktop or Tools, you hereby agree to automatically request and receive updates from Spiceworks’ servers. Some personal firewall programs may be configured in such a way as to prevent the Desktop or Tools from receiving these updates. If the computer on which you install the Desktop or Tools is so configured, it may be necessary for you to make an exception entry in the configuration of the personal firewall program to allow the Desktop or Tools to successfully install and receive these updates. Third-Party Software. Parts of the Service include packages of components, including certain third-party software provided under separate license terms, which can be found in the related documentation or will be provided to you by Spiceworks on request. You are permitted to use that third-party software in conjunction with the Desktop in a manner consistent with the terms of the Agreement, however, you may have broader rights under the applicable separate license terms and nothing in the Agreement is intended to impose further restrictions on your use of that third-party software. WEB-BASED OFFERING TERMS If you subscribe to or access a Web-based Offering, the following provisions apply to you. Grant of Right to Use Web-based Offering. Subject to the terms and conditions of and your ongoing compliance with the Agreement, including without limitation payment of any applicable fees, Spiceworks hereby grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right during the period for which you have paid all applicable fees to permit each user for whom you have purchased a user subscription to access the applicable Web-based Offering solely for your internal business purposes. You must ensure that each of your users has agreed to and is bound by the Agreement. INFORMATION PRACTICES Open communication about our users’ privacy and how we use their information is very important to Spiceworks. As a condition of downloading or using any part of the Service, you agree to the terms of the Spiceworks Privacy Policy, which may be updated from time to time, as expressed in the most recent version that exists at the time of your use. The most current version of the Spiceworks Privacy Policy may be found at www.spiceworks.com/privacy/. Information collected by Spiceworks may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Spiceworks or its agents maintain facilities. By using the Service you consent to any transfer of that information outside of your country. THE SERVICE MAY CONTAIN A FEATURE THAT IS USED TO AUTOMATICALLY TRANSMIT CERTAIN CONTENT AND INFORMATION COLLECTED VIA ONE OR MORE TOOLS TO SERVERS OPERATED BY OR ON BEHALF OF SPICEWORKS, INCLUDING INFORMATION ABOUT EQUIPMENT ON WHICH THE TOOLS ARE INSTALLED AND THE SERVICE IS USED TO ANALYZE, OR THROUGH WHICH THE SERVICE IS OTHERWISE ACCESSED OR USED, AND THE SYSTEMS, PROGRAMS, OR CONTENT ON THAT EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING EQUIPMENT, SYSTEMS, AND PROGRAMS OF YOUR CONSENTING USERS (“Collected Data”). The technical processing and transmission of Collected Data through the Service may involve: (a) transmissions over various networks, including networks not owned by you or Spiceworks and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks, devices, or products. You acknowledge and agree that Spiceworks may use any Collected Data as provided in the Spiceworks Privacy Policy. You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to permit Spiceworks to engage in this processing of data relating to your use of the Service and Tools and that, where appropriate, you have provided notice to all of your Consenting Users and have obtained appropriate and valid consents from all Consenting Users regarding the collection, processing, and use of their data by you and by or on behalf of Spiceworks. Additionally, by using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that Internet transmissions are never completely private or secure. You understand that any message or information you send to the Service may be read or intercepted by others, even if there is a special notice that a particular transmission (for example, credit card information) is encrypted. While Spiceworks actively adheres to security best practices when handling sensitive data such as Personal Data, our users also need to follow common sense practices when using our Service. As discussed above, users should not post sensitive data in our community or in any part of the Service that can be seen by others. FEES AND PAYMENTS Signing up for a Spiceworks account is free. Access and use of portions of the Site and certain other portions of the Service may be provided at no charge. However, Spiceworks reserves the right to charge for the Service or any portion thereof, modify the pricing of, add to, or discontinue the Service or any portion thereof without prior notice. From time to time Spiceworks makes available certain value-added services for a fee, such as a Web-based Offering.

If you elect not to pay any fees charged by Spiceworks, Spiceworks has the right to cease providing those services to you. Spiceworks reserves the right to modify the pricing of these services at any time without prior notice. The Service may include functionality for activating, updating, or canceling recurring payments for periodic charges, such as a portion of the Service that requires a subscription fee.

To cancel your access of any portion of the Service that requires a subscription fee or other recurring payment, you must notify us by telephone or email (support@spiceworks.com) to Customer Service of your decision to terminate your use of that portion of the Service.

If payment is made via a purchase order or check, you agree to remit the payment before the date specified on the invoice. All monetary transactions on the Service take place in U.S. currency unless otherwise indicated. The Service may use third parties to process payments. Our third-party payment processors accept payments through methods detailed on the applicable payment screen, which may include various credit cards. You agree to pay for all products and services that you purchase through the Service and you agree that we may charge your selected payment method, either directly or through the services of a third-party payment processor, for any of those payments. Only those payment methods accepted by our third-party payment processor can be used to purchase products, goods, or services through the Service. You are responsible for determining and paying the appropriate government taxes, fees, and service charges resulting from a transaction occurring through or arising as a result of use of the Service. We are not responsible for collecting, reporting, paying, or remitting to you any of those taxes, fees, or service charges, except as may otherwise be required by law.
