Terms of Service

Last Updated: August 5, 2020

Welcome to the Recolude. Recolude is a SaaS-based platform (as modified from time to time, the “Recolude Platform”) that enables developers (“Developers” or “you”) to store and host their recordings and 3D models (collectively, the “Recordings”) made inside a 3D engine for their projects (the “Projects”). The website at recolude.com (the “Site”) and the various other related services, premium and other features, functions, software, applications, and websites (together with the Recolude Platform and the Site, collectively the “Recolude Services”) are provided and operated, and are being made available to you and the other Developers, and the other users of any of the Recolude Services (collectively, “Users”) by Recolude, LLC (“Recolude”, “us” or “we”). All defined terms used herein shall have the meanings prescribed to these terms in these Terms of Service.

IMPORTANT! THESE TERMS OF SERVICE (“TERMS”) GOVERN YOUR USE OF THE SITE, THE RECOLUDE PLATFORM, AND THE OTHER RECOLUDE SERVICES. IF YOU ARE AGREEING TO THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF YOUR ORGANIZATION, REFERENCES TO “YOU” OR “YOUR” SHALL MEAN YOU, YOUR ORGANIZATION, AND ANY OTHER USER ACCESSING AND USING THE RECOLUDE SERVICES ON BEHALF OF SUCH ORGANIZATION. BY CLICKING “I AGREE”, DOWNLOADING, USING, CONFIGURING OR ACCESSING THE SITE, THE RECOLUDE PLATFORM OR ANY OF THE OTHER RECOLUDE SERVICES OR OTHERWISE SIGNIFYING YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT (A) YOU ARE AUTHORIZED TO ENTER THESE TERMS OF SERVICE FOR AND ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF (AND YOUR ORGANIZATION), AND ARE DOING SO, (B) YOU (AND YOUR ORGANIZATION) CAN LEGALLY ENTER INTO THESE TERMS AND (C) YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU (AND YOUR ORGANIZATION) AND EACH USER SHALL BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AND RECOLUDE’S PRIVACY POLICY (HTTPS:// RECOLUDE.COM/PRIVACYPOLICY/)(THE “PRIVACY POLICY”) AND ALL MODIFICATIONS AND ADDITIONS PROVIDED FOR. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE OR THE PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE RECOLUDE PLATFORM OR ANY OF THE OTHER RECOLUDE SERVICES.

We reserve the right to provide separate terms of service for specific activities and programs (e.g., competitions, etc.) (collectively, the “Specific Terms”). If so, to the extent that the Specific Terms conflict with these Terms, the Specific Terms shall apply.

These Terms contain an Arbitration provision which will, with limited exception, require you to submit disputes you have against Recolude to binding and final arbitration. You will only be permitted to pursue claims against Recolude on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action or proceeding; and you will only be permitted to seek relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) on an individual basis.

1. Eligibility

To access and use the Recolude Platform, the Site, and the other Recolude Services, you must be at least 18 years of age. BY CLICKING THE “I AGREE” BUTTON, BY ACCESSING OR USING THE RECOLUDE PLATFORM OR ANY OF THE OTHER RECOLUDE SERVICES, YOU REPRESENT THAT:

YOU HAVE NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY SUSPENDED OR REMOVED FROM THE SITE, THE RECOLUDE PLATFORM, OR ANY OF THE OTHER RECOLUDE SERVICES;
YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE TO FORM A BINDING CONTRACT WITH RECOLUDE;
YOU WILL COMPLY WITH THESE TERMS AND ALL APPLICABLE LOCAL, STATE, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LAWS, RULES, AND REGULATIONS; AND YOU ARE NOT A COMPETITOR OF RECOLUDE AND DO NOT INTEND TO USE THE RECOLUDE PLATFORM OR ANY OF THE OTHER RECOLUDE SERVICES FOR REASONS THAT ARE IN COMPETITION WITH RECOLUDE OR OTHERWISE TO REPLICATE SOME OR ALL OF THE OTHER RECOLUDE SERVICES FOR ANY REASON.

2. Privacy

Your privacy is important to Recolude. Our goal is to make the Recolude Platform and the other Recolude Services as good, useful, and rewarding for you as possible. In order to do that, Recolude may collect and process information from you when you use the Recolude Platform or any of the other Recolude Services. Recolude will collect certain personally identifiable information from you as set forth in more detail in our Privacy Policy. By accessing or using the Recolude Platform or any of the other Recolude Services, you agree that Recolude may collect, use and disclose, as set forth in the Privacy Policy, the information you provide when you access and use the Recolude Platform or any of the other Recolude Services, and in some cases, information that is provided by or through any of the Recolude Services.

3. The Recolude Platform

3.1 Accessing and Using the Recolude Platform

(a) For Developers

(i) To access and use the Recolude Platform, you must first register and create an account and pay the applicable subscription fees (as described below)

(ii) After creating an account, you must register each of your Projects. Once you have registered your Project you will receive certain API keys that will enable you to talk with the Recolude Platform from your application.

(iii) In registering and creating an account, you agree to (i) provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself and your Project as prompted during the registration and account creation process (“Registration Data”), and (ii) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data, including your PayPal information, to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, or Recolude has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Recolude has the right to suspend or terminate your account and prohibit you from accessing and using the Recolude Platform and/or any of the other Recolude Services. You agree not to create an account using a false identity or information, or on behalf of someone other than yourself. You agree that you shall not have more than one account. You agree not to create an account or to access and use the Recolude Platform or any of the other Recolude Services if you have been previously removed by Recolude or if you have been previously banned from accessing and using the Recolude Platform or any of the other Recolude Services.

(iv) You have the ability to designate your Recording as “public.” If you elect to do that, any User, whether or not he or she has registered and has an account, can access your Recording.

(b) For other Users

Users other than Developers do not need to register or create an account in order to view or listen to a Recording that has been designated as “public” by the Developer(s).

3.2 3D Engines

The Recolude Platform is not compatible with all 3D engines. The current list of 3D engines that are compatible with the Recolude Platform is listed at https:// recolude.com/integrations/. If you have any questions about whether the 3D engine that you are working with is compatible with the Recolude Platform, please contact us at support@recolude.com.

3.3 Maintaining copies of Recordings

It is your responsibility to maintain copies of your Recordings. Recolude will use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent loss of the Recordings in accordance with good industry practice. However, despite our efforts, no security measures are 100% effective and Recolude cannot (a) ensure or warrant the security of the Recordings or (b) guarantee that (i) there will be no loss of data or (ii) access to the Recordings will be available without interruption.

4. Fees, Payments, and Refunds

4.1 Fees

To be able to store and host your Recordings through the Recolude Platform, you must pay the subscription fees associated with the subscription period that you have selected (e.g., monthly or annually) (as modified from time to time, the “Subscription Fees”). The amount of the Subscription Fee will vary based on the size of the Recording that is stored through the Recolude Platform. If you exceed the storage limit associated with the Subscription Fee that you paid, you will need to pay the higher Subscription Fee associated with the size of your Recording. The current Subscription Fees can be found at https:// recolude.com/pricing/.

4.2 Payment and Taxes

(a) Payments

Unless otherwise agreed by Recolude, the Subscription Fees shall be paid in advance in accordance with Section 4.2(b). You authorize Recolude to automatically charge your credit or debit card through the Payment Processor for any such Subscription Fee.

(b) Payment Processing

The Subscription Fees and other payments made in connection with the Recolude Platform and the other Recolude Services shall be made through a third-party payment processor directed by Recolude (e.g., PayPal, Stripe, etc.) (any such third-party payment processor, the “Payment Processor”). Payment processing services for the Recolude Platform are currently provided by Stripe and are subject to Stripe’s terms of service (as modified from time to time, the “Stripe Terms”). By agreeing to these Terms or continuing to access or use the Recolude Platform or any of the other Recolude Services, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Terms. As a condition of Recolude’s enabling payment processing services through a Payment Processor, you agree to provide the Payment Processor accurate and complete information about you, your credit or debit card or bank account, and such other information required by the Payment Processor, and you authorize Recolude to share any relevant transaction information to the Payment Processor.

If you fail to pay any Subscription Fees when due, Recolude may, upon prior written notice to you, suspend your ability to access and use the Recolude Platform, including your Recording.

(d) Future Services

In paying the Subscription Fee, you acknowledge and agree that you are not relying on future availability of the Recolude Platform beyond the subscription period for which the Subscription Fee that you paid applies.

4.3 Changes in Fees and Payment Methods

Recolude reserves the right at any time to change the Subscription Fees (including to begin charging for services that it is currently providing free of charge or for new premium features) and billing methods, either immediately upon posting on the Recolude Platform, the Site, any of the other Recolude Services or by notifying you by email.

4.4 Refunds

ALL SUBSCRIPTION FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, NON-CANCELLABLE, AND NON-CREDITABLE UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY LAW OR AGREED TO BY RECOLUDE IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.

5. Right to Access and Use; Unauthorized Use

5.1 Right to Access and Use

Subject to your compliance with all of the terms and conditions set out in these Terms, Recolude hereby grants to you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, freely revocable right to access and use the Recolude Platform, the Site, and the other Recolude Services, to the extent of, and in accordance with, these Terms.

5.2 Prevention of Unauthorized Use

Recolude reserves the right to exercise whatever lawful means it deems necessary to prevent the unauthorized access or use of the Recolude Platform or the circumvention of the other Recolude Services, including, but not limited to, technological barriers, IP mapping, and directly contacting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) regarding such unauthorized use.

6. Additional Policies

When accessing or using the Recolude Platform or any of the other Recolude Services, you may be subject to any additional posted policies, guidelines, or rules applicable to the Recolude Platform, the Site, and the other Recolude Services which may be posted from time to time (as modified from time to time, the “Policies”). All such Policies are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms.

7. Respecting other People’s Rights

Recolude respects the rights of others and so should you. You, therefore, shall not:

violate or infringe someone else’s rights of publicity, privacy, copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights;
post anything that is unlawful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous, deceptive, fraudulent, invasive of another’s privacy, tortious, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, offensive, profane, contains or depicts nudity, contains or depicts sexual activity, or is otherwise inappropriate as determined by Recolude in its sole discretion;
post anything that is false, misleading, untruthful or inaccurate, or that includes anyone’s personal information; or
impersonate any person or entity, including any of Recolude’s employees or representatives or any other Developers or Users.

8. Modification of these Terms

Recolude reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of these Terms at any time by posting the amended Terms to the Site or any of the other Recolude Services. If Recolude updates these Terms, it will update the “last updated” date at the top of the Terms. Please check these Terms, including any Policies, periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Recolude Platform or any of the other Recolude Services after the posting of changes constitutes your binding acceptance of such changes. In the event of a change to these Terms that materially modifies your rights or obligations (including applicable fees), Recolude will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of such change. Recolude may provide notice through a pop-up or banner within any of the Recolude Services, by sending an email to any address you may have used to register for an account, or through other similar mechanisms. Additionally, if the changed Terms materially modify your rights or obligations, Recolude may require you to provide consent by accepting the changed Terms. If Recolude requires your acceptance of the changed Terms, changes are effective only after your acceptance. For all other changes, except as stated elsewhere by Recolude, such amended Terms or fees will automatically be effective, replacing the previously-effective Terms or fees, thirty (30) days after they are initially posted on any of the Recolude Services. IF AT ANY TIME YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, PLEASE IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE YOUR USE OF ALL RECOLUDE SERVICES.

To the extent that any modifications to the Terms or Policies are not allowed under applicable laws, the prior most recent version of the Terms or Policies shall continue to apply.

9. Digital Millennium Copyright Act

It is Recolude’s policy to respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. For more information, please go to Recolude’s DMCA Notification Policy at https://recolude.com/DMCA/. If you file a notice with our copyright agent, it must comply with the requirements set forth in 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3). Recolude reserves the right to terminate without notice any Developer’s or other User’s access to the Recolude Platform, the Site, and the other Recolude Services if that Developer or other User is determined by Recolude to be a “repeat infringer.” In addition, Recolude accommodates and does not interfere with standard technical measures used by copyright owners to protect their materials.

10. Content

10.1 Limited License Grant to Recolude

The Recolude Platform permits Developers to upload their Recordings, whether or not made available to other Developers or other Users.

Recolude does not endorse any Recordings and other material or any opinion, recommendation, or advice expressed therein, and Recolude expressly disclaims any and all liability in connection with any such Recordings and/or other content. If notified by a Developer or a content owner of any Recordings or other content or materials that allegedly do not conform to these Terms, Recolude may investigate the allegation and determine what recourse (if any) it might have.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

THESE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY ALSO APPLY WITH RESPECT TO DAMAGES INCURRED BY YOU BY REASON OF ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES SOLD OR PROVIDED ON ANY THIRD-PARTY SITES OR OTHERWISE BY THIRD PARTIES OTHER THAN RECOLUDE AND RECEIVED THROUGH OR ADVERTISED ON ANY OF THE RECOLUDE SERVICES OR RECEIVED THROUGH ANY THIRD-PARTY SITES.

RECOLUDE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO AUTHORIZE YOU TO ACCESS AND USE OF THE RECOLUDE PLATFORM OR ANY OF THE OTHER RECOLUDE SERVICES TO YOU ON AN ECONOMICALLY REASONABLE BASIS WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS.

CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF YOU RESIDE IN SUCH A JURISDICTION, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

The failure of Recolude to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by Recolude.

20.3 Dispute Resolution

If a dispute arises between you and Recolude, the goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost-effective method of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, you and Recolude agree that any dispute, claim or controversy at law or equity that arises out of these Terms, the Recolude Platform, the Site, or the other Recolude Services (a “Dispute”) will be resolved in accordance with this Section 20.3 or as Recolude and you otherwise agree in writing. Before resorting to these dispute methods, Recolude strongly encourages you to first contact Recolude directly to seek a resolution.

(a) Choice of Law. These Terms shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION, PROCEEDING, CAUSE OF ACTION OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR ANY OF THE RECOLUDE SERVICES.

(b) Arbitration and Class Action Waiver.

PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

(i) ARBITRATION. YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND RECOLUDE (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DISPUTE INVOLVES A THIRD PARTY) IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR ANY OF THE RECOLUDE SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION YOUR RIGHTS OF PRIVACY WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION UNDER THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION’S RULES FOR ARBITRATION AND YOU AND RECOLUDE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY. ANY ARBITRATION SHALL BE IN ENGLISH AND THE PLACE OF ARBITRATION SHALL BE HOUSTON, TEXAS. YOUR ARBITRATION FEES AND YOUR SHARE OF ARBITRATOR COMPENSATION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY SUCH RULES. DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND RECOLUDE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. YOU MAY BRING DISPUTES ONLY ON YOUR OWN BEHALF.

Neither you nor Recolude will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any disputes covered by these Terms to arbitrate. YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST RECOLUDE INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person’s account, if Recolude is a party to the proceeding.

This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and not by any state law concerning arbitration. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies, or awards that conflict with these Terms.

(ii) Judicial Forum for Disputes. In the event that the agreement to arbitrate under Section 20.3(b) is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and Recolude agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) must be brought solely and exclusively in, and will be subject to the service of process and other applicable procedural rules of, the federal or state courts covering Houston, TX. Both you and Recolude irrevocably consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recolude may bring a claim for equitable relief in any court with proper jurisdiction.

(iii) Survival. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your use of the Recolude Platform or any of the other Recolude Services or your relationship with Recolude.

(c) 30 Day Right to Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in this Section 20.3 above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to support@recolude.com. The notice must be sent to Recolude within thirty (30) days of your use of any of the Recolude Services or agreeing to these Terms, otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those sections. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.

(d) Improperly Filed Claims. All claims you bring against Recolude must be resolved in accordance with this Section 20.3. All claims filed or brought contrary to this Section 20.3 shall be considered improperly filed. Should you file a claim contrary to this Section 20.3, Recolude may recover attorneys’ fees and costs up to $15,000, provided that Recolude has notified you in writing of the improperly filed claim, and you have failed to promptly withdraw the claim.

(e) Prevailing Party. In the event that either party institutes any legal suit, action or proceeding against the other party arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, or any of the other Recolude Services, the prevailing party in the suit, action or proceeding shall be entitled to receive in addition to all other damages to which it may be entitled, the costs incurred by such party in conducting the suit, action or proceeding, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs.

(f) Limitation on Time to File Claims. ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE PRIVACY POLICY, ANY OF THE RECOLUDE SERVICES OR YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH RECOLUDE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

20.4 Severability

If any provision of these Terms (including any Policies) is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason is unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated from these Terms to the minimum extent necessary and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

20.5 Relationship of the Parties

The parties agree that nothing in these Terms shall be construed as creating a joint venture, partnership, franchise, agency, employer/employee, or similar relationship between the parties, or as authorizing either party to act as the agent of the other. You are and will remain an independent contractor in your relationship to Recolude. Nothing in these Terms shall create any obligation between either party and a third party.

20.6 Assignment

These Terms and related Policies, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Recolude without restriction. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of these Terms shall be void.

20.7 Survival

Upon termination of these Terms, your use of the Site, any of the other Recolude Services or your relationship with Recolude any provision which, by its nature or express terms should survive, will survive such termination or expiration, including, but not limited to, Sections 2, 4.4 and 9 – 20.
