Introduction

Welcome to IPFinder! Your use of IPFinder’ services, including the services IPFinder makes available through IPFinder.CH (the “Sites”), and any other software or services offered by IPFinder in connection with any of those (the “Services”) is governed by these terms of service (the “Terms”), so please carefully read them before using the Services. For the purposes of these Terms, “we,” “our,” “us,” and “IPFinder” refer to IDB, LLC, the providers and operators of the Services. In order to use the Services, you must first agree to these Terms. If you are registering for or using the Services on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that organization and promising that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms. In that case, “you” and “your” will also refer to that organization, wherever possible. You must be over 13 years of age to use the Services, and children under the age of 13 cannot use or register for the Services. If you are over 13 years of age but are not yet of legal age to form a binding contract (in many jurisdictions, this age is 18), then you must get your parent or guardian to read these Terms and agree to them for you before you use the Services. If you are a parent or guardian and you provide your consent to your child's registration with the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms with respect of your child’s use of the Services. You agree your purchase and/or use of the Services are not contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features or dependent on any oral or written public comments made by IPFinder or any of its affiliates regarding future functionality or features. BY USING, DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING THE SERVICES OR ANY MATERIALS INCLUDED IN OR WITH THE SERVICES, YOU HEREBY AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS, THEN YOU MAY NOT USE, DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, OR OTHERWISE ACCESS THE SERVICES. IF YOU HAVE ENTERED INTO A SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH IPFINDER FOR USE OF SERVICES, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SUCH OTHER AGREEMENT SHALL PREVAIL OVER ANY CONFLICTING TERMS OR CONDITIONS IN THESE TERMS. CERTAIN FEATURES OF THE SERVICES OR SITES MAY BE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES, TERMS, OR RULES, WHICH WILL BE POSTED ON THE SERVICE OR SITES IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH FEATURES. TO THE EXTENT SUCH TERMS, GUIDELINES, AND RULES CONFLICT WITH THESE TERMS, SUCH TERMS SHALL GOVERN SOLELY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH FEATURES. IN ALL OTHER SITUATIONS, THESE TERMS SHALL GOVERN.

Your Account

In the course of registering for or using the Services, you may be required to provide IPFinder with certain information, including your name, contact information and username. IPFinder handles such information with the utmost attention, care and security. Nonetheless, you, not IPFinder, shall be responsible for maintaining and protecting your Credentials in connection with the Services. If your contact information or other information relating to your account changes, you must notify IPFinder promptly and keep such information current. You are solely responsible for any activity using your Credentials, whether or not you authorized that activity. You should immediately notify IPFinder of any unauthorized use of your Credentials or if your email or API Key has been hacked or stolen. If you discover that someone is using your Credentials without your consent, or you discover any other breach of security, you agree to notify IPFinder immediately.

A variety of information, messages, comments, posts, text, graphics, software, photographs, videos, data, reviews, recommendations, and other materials may be made available through the Services by IPFinder or its suppliers (“Content”). While IPFinder strives to keep the Content that it provides through the Services accurate, complete, and up-to-date, IPFinder cannot guarantee, and is not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any Content. You acknowledge that by using the Services, you may be exposed to materials that are offensive, indecent or objectionable. Under no circumstances will IPFinder be liable in any way for any such Content. Furthermore, certain aspects of the Services may function to alert users of potential suspicious activity and threats (“Alerts”). Such Alerts are opinions generated by the Services. Accordingly, in no circumstances will IPFinder be liable for defamation, libel, or any similar claim as a result of the Alerts or any components of the Services used to generate Alerts.

Except as provided in Section 3, IPFinder acknowledges and agrees that it obtains no right, title or interest from you (or your licensors) under these Terms in or to any User Content that you create, upload, submit, post, transmit, share or display on, or through, the Services, including any intellectual property rights which subsist in that User Content (whether those rights happen to be registered or not, and wherever in the world those rights may exist). Unless you have agreed otherwise in writing with IPFinder, you agree that you are responsible for protecting and enforcing those rights and that IPFinder has no obligation to do so on your behalf.
