Radar Networks Developer Terms of Use

(Last revised: May 5, 2008)

Radar Networks provides a set of APIs and tools ("Third Party Developer Services") that allow any third party developer to build an application based on the Radar Networks Website, http://www.twine.com ("Site"). We are committed to protecting our users and our Site while enabling you to create applications, so we require you to abide by some specific terms. Please read the full terms of service below, as they govern your use of our Third Party Developer Services. Some examples of what's covered in our Terms of Service:

  • We do our absolute best to keep these services up and bug-free, but you use them at your own risk.
  • You own your application, and you're responsible for developing, operating, maintaining, and supporting it. You're also responsible for any content you show as a part of your application.
  • You can't use these services for anything that infringes on anyone's rights or intellectual property, generates spam, phishes, or is illegal.
  • If your application allows file-sharing, you must adopt and implement an acceptable copyright policy, register an agent with the Copyright Office, and take any and all other steps necessary to ensure you are in compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
  • You must treat users' privacy as set forth in the Radar Networks Privacy Policy. If you directly collect personally identifiable information from users, you must post a privacy policy detailing what you will do with that info.
  • You must be honest and accurate about what your application does and how it uses information from users. Your application cannot falsely represent itself.
  • You can talk to the press and your users about your application, so long as you do so truthfully and without implying that your application is created or endorsed by Radar Networks (or otherwise embellishing your relationship with Radar Networks). However, you must get written consent from us before releasing any formal press releases.

Section 11. Termination

You may terminate this Agreement at any time by ceasing to use Radar Networks' Third Party Developer Services. You acknowledge and agree that Radar Networks may at any time in its sole discretion, without liability, with or without cause and with or without notice: (a) terminate this Agreement; (b) terminate or suspend your access to Radar Networks' Third Party Developer Services and/or the Radar Networks Site or any portion or feature of any of them; and/or (c) remove, block, delete or disable access to your Radar Networks Applications and/or any related content, including without limitation if we determine, in our sole discretion, that your Radar Networks Application or any related content is unsuitable for Radar Networks' Third Party Developer Services, the Radar Networks Site or Radar Networks' users. We further reserve the right, without liability, with or without notice and with or without cause, to discontinue Radar Networks' Third Party Developer Services and/or any portion or feature thereof for any reason and at any time in our sole discretion. Upon any termination or notice of any discontinuance, you must immediately stop your use of Radar Networks' Third Party Developer Services. Any accrued but unpaid payment obligations you may have hereunder and any definitions that are necessary to give effect to related provisions will survive any termination of this Agreement and will continue to bind you and us in accordance with those terms.

Section 12. Certain General Provisions

We may modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, at any time and in our sole discretion, by posting a change notice or a new agreement on the Radar Networks Site. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO STOP USING RADAR NETWORKS' THIRD PARTY DEVELOPER SERVICES. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF RADAR NETWORKS' THIRD PARTY DEVELOPER SERVICES FOLLOWING OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR NEW AGREEMENT ON OUR SITE WILL CONSTITUTE YOUR BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGE. No amendment or modification of this Agreement other than as provided above will be binding on Radar Networks unless set forth in a writing signed by an authorized representative of both parties. Except as specifically provided herein, if any portion of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and, upon Radar Networks' request, the court will construe any invalid or unenforceable portions in a manner that most closely reflects the effect and intent of the original language. If such construction is not possible, the provision will be severed from this Agreement and the rest of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The failure by Radar Networks to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provision, nor in any way affect the right of Radar Networks to enforce such provision thereafter. This Agreement will be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement (including Radar Networks' Terms of Service, as incorporated by reference herein), constitutes the entire agreement between you and Radar Networks regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous representation, understanding, agreement or communication between you and Radar Networks, whether written or oral, regarding such subject matter. Each of Radar Networks' affiliates are express and intended third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and may enforce any of its terms and exercise any of the rights to the same extent as Radar Networks. You and Radar Networks are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to or does create any type of joint venture, partnership or employer/employee relationship between you and Radar Networks or its affiliates. This Agreement is in the English language only, which language shall be controlling in all respects, and all versions hereof in any other language shall not be binding on the parties hereto. All communications and notices to be made or given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in the English language.
