  1. Liability

The Services and all material and information posted on it is provided to you “as is” without any warranties. You agree that you must evaluate and bear all risks associated with use of the Services, including those risks associated with reliance on the accuracy, thoroughness, or utility of any Content.
You acknowledge that due to the immediate nature of this medium, PixCams does not review, censor, approve, edit, or endorse information placed on the Services by its users, and cannot guarantee that inappropriate material will not be posted. PixCams will review user postings from time to time and will take steps to remove inappropriate postings that come to its attention.
The Services may provide, or third parties may provide, links to other sites or resources. Because PixCams has no control over such sites and resources, you acknowledge and agree that PixCams is not responsible for the availability of such external sites or resources and does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such sites or resources. You further acknowledge and agree that PixCams shall not be responsible or liable for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused in connection with use of or reliance on any such linked content, goods, or services available on or through any such linked site or resource.

Citizen Science

Our citizen-science projects are designed to benefit the entire scientific research community, which in turn benefits the larger public. Therefore, if you participate in any PixCams citizen-science projects, you grant the PixCams and its collaborators permission to use your contributions in any way to further this goal. We ask you to grant us these broad permissions because they allow us to change the legal details by which we keep the data available; this is important because the legal environment can change and we need to be able to respond without obtaining permission from every single contributor.

  1. User Conduct

All users shall use the Services for lawful purposes only. You agree not to post or transmit through the Services any material that is unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, vulgar, obscene, profane, which encourages criminal conduct, or that may give rise to civil liability. You agree not to post or transmit through the site any material or text which constitutes advertising or solicitation with respect to any product or service, unless expressly authorized in writing by PixCams to do so.

All participants are expected to always treat each other with mutual respect. Conduct by any user that, at the discretion of PixCams, restricts or inhibits any other user from using or enjoying the Services will not be permitted. The PixCams reserves the right to delete comments or terminate accounts associated with inappropriate or offensive behaviors.

Examples of prohibited conduct include:

  1. Adding offensive, threatening, abusive, or profane comments, images, sound recordings or videos to any of our sites or data you contribute to any project.
  2. Abusive or threatening language or behaviors in the course of correspondence or interactions with a reviewer or other member of the community.
  3. Falsified documentation to support a record or fabricated sightings.

PixCams reserves the right to refuse access to the Services to any user for any reason, including, without limitation, a reasonable belief that the user in question has violated these Terms or any of the copyright or trademark laws of the United States.

You agree to assume full and sole responsibility for any postings you make to the Services.

  1. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless PixCams; its affiliates and partners; and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, members, licensors, representatives, and third party providers to the Services from and against all losses, expenses, damages, and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from any violation of these Terms. PixCams reserves the right to assume, at its sole expense, the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with PixCams in asserting any available defenses.

VII. Miscellaneous

Any and all disputes, with the exception of copyright claims, arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement, including without limitation, its validity, interpretation, performance, or breach.

These Terms and any other operating rules or terms currently posted on the Services constitute the entire agreement between PixCams and the users of the Services, and supersede all previous written or oral agreements between the parties with respect to such subject matter. No action of PixCams may be construed as a waiver of any part of these Terms of Use. Should any of the above paragraphs be unenforceable, the other paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
