THE DCR TERMS OF SERVICE

Effective date: May 25, 2018

A. DEFINITIONS

Short version: We use these basic terms throughout the agreement, and they have specific meanings. You should know what we mean when we use each of the terms. There’s not going to be a test on it, but it’s still useful information.

The “Agreement” refers, collectively, to all the terms, conditions, notices contained or referenced in this document (the “Terms of Service” or the “Terms”) and all other operating rules, policies (including the DCR Privacy Statement, available at dcrsolutions.net/privacy) and procedures that we may publish from time to time on the Website.

The “Service” refers to the applications, software, products, and services provided by DCR.

The “Website” refers to DCR’s website located at dcrsolutions.net, dcr.design and dcrgraphs.net, and all content, services, and products provided by DCR at or through the Website. It also refers to DCR-owned subdomains of dcrsolutions.net, dcrgraphs.com and dcrgraphs.net, such as documentation.dcr.design, responsitory.dcrgraph.net and api.dcrgraphs.net. Occasionally, websites owned by DCR may provide different or additional terms of service. If those additional terms conflict with this Agreement, the more specific terms apply to the relevant page or service.

“The User,” “You,” and “Your” refer to the individual person, company, or organization that has visited or is using the Website or Service; that accesses or uses any part of the Account; or that directs the use of the Account in the performance of its functions. A User must be at least 18 years of age. Special terms may apply for business or government Accounts (See Section B(5): Additional Terms).

“DCR,” “We,” and “Us” refer to DCR Solutions A/S, as well as our affiliates, directors, subsidiaries, contractors, licensors, officers, agents, and employees.

“Content” refers to content featured or displayed through the Website, including without limitation text, data, articles, images, photographs, graphics, software, applications, designs, features, and other materials that are available on the Website or otherwise available through the Service. “Content” also includes Services. “User-Generated Content” is Content, written or otherwise, created or uploaded by our Users. “Your Content” is Content that you create or own.

An “Account” represents your legal relationship with DCR. A “User Account” represents an individual User’s authorization to log in to and use the Service and serves as a User’s identity on DCR. “Organizations” are private areas that may be associated with a single entity or with one or more Users where multiple Users can collaborate across many projects at once. A User Account can be a member of any number of Organizations, but will act on behalf one organization at a time.

A “Paid Account” is an organization that has a commercial agreement with DCR to use its portal and services.

A “Free plan” is an access granted to the DCR portal where users can experience and test the functionality of the DCR product and services.

A “demo license” is an organization given for demo and evaluation purpose as a free plan for a specific period of time.

The ”Public Organization” is a common organization that all users are member of.

B. ACCOUNT TERMS

Short version: User Accounts and Organizations have different administrative controls; a human must create your Account; you must be 18 or over; you must provide a valid email address; and you may not have more than one Account. You alone are responsible for your Account and anything that happens while you are signed in to or using your Account. You are responsible for keeping your Account secure. Finally, your Account must be created in your legal name and your affiliation and it is not allowed to use other names than your own.

1. ACCOUNT CONTROLS

Users. Subject to these Terms, you retain ultimate administrative control over your User Account and the Content within it.

Organizations. The “owner” of an Organization that was created under these Terms has ultimate administrative control over that Organization and the Content within it. Within the Service, an owner can manage User access to the Organization’s data and projects. An Organization may have multiple owners, but there must be at least one User Account designated as an owner of an Organization. If you are the owner of an Organization under these Terms, we consider you responsible for the actions that are performed on or through that Organization.

2. REQUIRED INFORMATION

You must provide a valid email address and real name in order to complete the signup process. Any other information requested, such as your job title, is optional, unless you are accepting these terms on behalf of a legal entity (in which case we need more information about the legal entity) or if you opt for a paid Account, in which case additional information will be necessary for billing purposes.

3. ACCOUNT REQUIREMENTS

We have a few simple rules for User Accounts on DCR’s Service.

You must be a human to create an Account. Your name and email address must be used as the account, and we do not allow accounts with other names or email addresses. We might require to prove your identity when creating an account. Accounts registered by “bots” or other automated methods are not permitted. We do permit machine accounts:

One person or legal entity may maintain no more than one Account.

An organization can choose to control a machine account as well, that’s fine, but it can only be used for running a machine that interacts with DCR as a service.

You must be age 18 or older. DCR does not target our Service to children, and we do not permit any Users under 18 on our Service. If we learn of any User under the age of 18, we will terminate that User’s Account immediately. If you are a resident of a country outside the European Union, your country’s minimum age may be older; in such a case, you are responsible for complying with your country’s laws.

Your login may only be used by one person — i.e., a single login may not be shared by multiple people. A paid Organization may only provide access to as many User Accounts as your subscription allows.

4. USER ACCOUNT SECURITY

You are responsible for keeping your Account secure while you use our Service. We offer tools such as two-factor authentication to help you maintain your Account’s security, but the content of your Account and its security are up to you.

You are responsible for all content posted and activity that occurs under your Account (even when content is posted by others who have Accounts under your Account).

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Account and password. DCR cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation.

You will promptly notify DCR if you become aware of any unauthorized use of, or access to, our Service through your Account, including any unauthorized use of your password or Account.

5. ACADEMIC ALLIANCE

If your access to the DCR website and Service comes through an Academic Alliance you can only use the website and Service for research and academic related education. You cannot use the website or Service in any way for commercial activities. Your account is only be valid as long as you’re working or is enrolled as a student at the university or school.

Should the Academic Alliance end we will transfer your account to another Organization of our choice and you might be forced to pay for future access.

6. ADDITIONAL TERMS

In some situations, third parties’ terms may apply to your use of DCR. For example, you may be a member of an organization on DCR with its own terms or license agreements; you may download an application that integrates with DCR. Please be aware that while these Terms are our full agreement with you, other parties’ terms govern their relationships with you.

C. ACCEPTABLE USE

Short version: DCR hosts a wide variety of collaborative business processes from all over the world, and that collaboration only works when our users are able to work together in good faith. While using the service, you must follow this Acceptable Use Policy, which includes some restrictions on content you can post, conduct on the service, and other limitations. In short, be excellent to each other.

4. SERVICES USAGE LIMITS

5. SCRAPING

Scraping refers to extracting data from our Website via an automated process, such as a bot or webcrawler. You may scrape the website for the following reasons:

  • Researchers may scrape public, non-personal information from DCR for research purposes, only if any publications resulting from that research are open access

You may not scrape DCR for spamming purposes, including for the purposes of selling DCR users’ personal information, such as to recruiters, headhunters, and job boards.

All use of DCR data gathered through scraping must comply with the DCR Privacy Statement.

6. PRIVACY

Misuse of DCR Users’ Personal Information is prohibited.

Any person, entity, or service collecting data from DCR must comply with the DCR Privacy Statement, particularly in regards to the collection of our Users’ Personal Information (as defined in the DCR Privacy Statement). If you collect any DCR User’s Personal Information from DCR, you agree that you will only use the Personal Information you gather for the purpose for which our User has authorized it. You agree that you will reasonably secure any Personal Information you have gathered from DCR, and you will respond promptly to complaints, removal requests, and “do not contact” requests from DCR or DCR Users.

7. EXCESSIVE BANDWIDTH OR SERVICE USE

If we determine your bandwidth or service usage to be significantly excessive in relation to other DCR customers, we reserve the right to suspend your Account until you can reduce your bandwidth or service consumption.

8. USER PROTECTION

You agree not to engage in activity that significantly harms our Users. We will resolve disputes in favor of protecting our Users as a whole.

D. USER-GENERATED CONTENT

Short version: You own content you create, but you allow us certain rights to it, so that we can display and share the content you post. You still have control over your content, and responsibility for it, and the rights you grant us are limited to those we need to provide the service. We have the right to remove content or close Accounts if we need to. You can share information with other users and make it public to all DCR users. You can even share content publicly, typically on social networks such as Facebook or LinkedIn. When sharing content, you grant DCR the rights to share your content, and thereby access to the content for the purpose of sharing.

1. RESPONSIBILITY FOR USER-GENERATED CONTENT

You may create or upload User-Generated Content while using the Service. You are solely responsible for the content of, and for any harm resulting from, any User-Generated Content that you post, upload, link to or otherwise make available via the Service, regardless of the form of that Content. We are not responsible for any public display or misuse of your User-Generated Content.

2. DCR MAY REMOVE CONTENT

We do not pre-screen User-Generated Content, but we have the right (though not the obligation) to refuse or remove any User-Generated Content that, in our sole discretion, violates any DCR terms or policies.

3. OWNERSHIP OF CONTENT, RIGHT TO POST, AND LICENSE GRANTS

As a paying customer you retain ownership of Your Content. You always retain responsibility for Your Content. If you’re posting anything you did not create yourself or do not own the rights to, you agree that you are responsible for any Content you post; that you will only submit Content that you have the right to post; and that you will fully comply with any third party licenses relating to Content you post.

Because you retain ownership of and responsibility for Your Content, we need you to grant us — and other DCR Users — certain legal permissions, listed in Sections D.4 — D.7. These license grants apply to Your Content. If you upload Content that already comes with a license granting DCR the permissions we need to run our Service, no additional license is required. You understand that you will not receive any payment for any of the rights granted in Sections D.4 — D.7. The licenses you grant to us will end when you remove Your Content from our servers, unless other Users have copied it.

DCR Solutions retain ownership of any content originating from free plans, demo licenses and academic licenses, as well as any content created in the Community part of the DCR portal.

4. LICENSE GRANT TO US

We need the legal right to do things like host Your Content, publish it, and share it. You grant us and our legal successors the right to store, parse, and display Your Content, and make incidental copies as necessary to render the Website and provide the Service. This includes the right to do things like copy it to our database and make backups; show it to you and other users; parse it into a search index or otherwise analyze it on our servers; share it with other users.

If you choose to give Feedback on a specific graph, whether an Idea, a Problem, a Question or a Praise, you grant DCR rights to view your content in order to assist you. DCR can choose to copy your graph to help you or reply to questions. The right and ownership of this copy will remain your property.

DCR has the right to show content marked as public on DCR web sites such as kommune.dcrgraphs.net.

This license does not grant DCR the right to sell Your Content or otherwise distribute or use it outside of our provision of the Service. As DCR owns the content from free plans, demo accounts, academic licenses and content in the Community part of the portal, DCR can distribute this content in any way it wants. However, DCR will respect the privacy of the users that created the content.

DCR has the right to analyze metadata of content such as graphs, categories and usage data, and publish information about graphs and usage on DCR web sites.

5. LICENSE GRANT TO OTHER USERS

Any User-Generated Content you post publicly, including issues, comments, and contributions to other Users’ repositories, may be viewed by others. By setting your categories and/or graphs to be viewed publicly, you agree to allow others to view and copy your graphs (this means that others may make their own copies of Content from your categories in categories they control).

If you set your graphs or categories to be viewed publicly, you grant each User of DCR a nonexclusive, worldwide license to use, display, and perform Your Content through the DCR Service and to reproduce Your Content solely on DCR as permitted through DCR’s functionality (for example, through forking). You may grant further rights if you adopt a license. If you are uploading Content you did not create or own, you are responsible for ensuring that the Content you upload is licensed under terms that grant these permissions to other DCR Users.

6. CONTRIBUTIONS UNDER REPOSITORY LICENSE

Whenever you contribute to a collection containing notice of a license, you license your contribution under the same terms, and you agree that you have the right to license your contribution under those terms. If you have a separate agreement to license your contributions under different terms, such as a contributor license agreement, that agreement will supersede.

Isn’t this just how it works already? Yep. This is widely accepted as the norm in the open-source community; it’s commonly referred to by the shorthand “inbound=outbound”. We’re just making it explicit.

7. MORAL RIGHTS

As a paying customer you retain all moral rights to Your Content that you upload, publish, or submit to any part of the Service, including the rights of integrity and attribution. However, you waive these rights and agree not to assert them against us, to enable us to reasonably exercise the rights granted in Section D.4, but not otherwise.

To the extent this agreement is not enforceable by applicable law, you grant DCR the rights we need to use Your Content without attribution and to make reasonable adaptations of Your Content as necessary to render the Website and provide the Service.

DCR Solutions retain moral rights to all content created under free plans, demo licenses and academic licenses. Should you choose to convert your account to a paying account ownership of your content will normally follow your paying account as long as you are a paying customer.

E. PRIVATE CATEGORIES AND ORGANIZATIONS

Short version: You may have access to private categories and organizations. We treat the content of private categories and organizations as confidential, and we only access it for support reasons, with your consent, or if required to for security reasons. If you share private categories or invite users into private organizations these users will have access to your content as described above in D.4 – D.7.

1. CONTROL OF PRIVATE CATEGORIES AND ORGANIZATIONS.

Some Accounts, such as paid Accounts, will have private organizations, which allow the User to control access to Content.

2. CONFIDENTIALITY OF PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS.

DCR considers the contents of private paid organizations Account to be confidential to you. DCR will protect the contents of private organizations from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner that we would use to protect our own confidential information of a similar nature and in no event with less than a reasonable degree of care.

3. ACCESS.

DCR employees may only access the content of your private paid organization Account in the following situations:

  • With your consent and knowledge, for support reasons. If DCR accesses a private organization for support reasons, we will only do so with the owner’s consent and knowledge.
  • Should any user of a private organization use the Feedback form, whether an Idea, a Question, a Problem or a Praise, access to the relevant information is granted implicit in order for DCR staff to analyze and handle your request.
  • When access is required for security reasons, including when access is required to maintain ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of DCR’s systems and Service.

You may choose to enable additional access to your private organization. For example:

  • You may enable various DCR services or features that require additional rights to Your Content in private repositories. These rights may vary depending on the service or feature, but DCR will continue to treat your private repository Content as confidential. If those services or features require rights in addition to those we need to provide the DCR Service, we will provide an explanation of those rights.

4. EXCLUSIONS.

If we have reason to believe the contents of a private organizations are in violation of the law or of these Terms, we have the right to access, review, and remove them. Additionally, we may be compelled by law to disclose the contents of your private organizations.

F. COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT AND DMCA POLICY

We will terminate the Accounts of repeat infringers of this policy.

If you have a dispute with one or more Users, you agree to release DCR from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

You agree to indemnify us, defend us, and hold us harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of your use of the Website and the Service, including but not limited to your violation of this Agreement, provided that DCR (1) promptly gives you written notice of the claim, demand, suit or proceeding; (2) gives you sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim, demand, suit or proceeding (provided that you may not settle any claim, demand, suit or proceeding unless the settlement unconditionally releases DCR of all liability); and (3) provides to you all reasonable assistance, at your expense.

P. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

Short version: We want our users to be informed of important changes to our terms, but some changes aren’t that important — we don’t want to bother you every time we fix a typo. So while we may modify this agreement at any time, we will notify users of any changes that affect your rights and give you time to adjust to them.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to amend these Terms of Service at any time and will update these Terms of Service in the event of any such amendments. We will notify our Users of material changes to this Agreement, such as price changes, at least 30 days prior to the change taking effect by posting a notice on our Website. For non-material modifications, your continued use of the Website constitutes agreement to our revisions of these Terms of Service.

We reserve the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Website (or any part of it) with or without notice.
