Terms of use

Welcome to the Knitted Community Engagement System site (the “Site”). These Terms of Service, together with the Privacy Statement are legal contracts that govern your use of this Site, of any desktop or mobile application created by Knitted, Inc. (“App”), and your access to any services provided through the Site or App or both (“Services”). By accessing the Site, installing the App, or using the Services, you agree to be bound by the Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Site or App or access the Services. Your continued use of the Site or any materials or services accessible through it, after such posting or notification means you accept the modifications. The use by you of certain Services accessible through the App or Site may be subject to your acceptance of separate agreements with Knitted, Inc. (“Knitted”) or third parties.

Knitted may from time to time change any part of the Terms of Service by adding, deleting, or varying their content. These amendments could occur very close together, or very far apart, depending on the circumstances.

Knitted will provide you with notice of the proposed amendment by posting an amended version of the Terms of Service with a new version number. There will also be a link to the previous version of the terms beneath the new version number. The amendments will take effect 30 days after the date on which the amended version is posted. Prior to that date, the previous version of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.

If you disagree with any amendments, you may cancel the Terms of Service by ceasing to access the Site or use the Services and uninstalling the App at any time within the 30-day notice period. If the amendment increases your obligations under these Terms of Service, or decreases our obligations, then you can also cancel in the 30 days after the amendments take effect. There will be no cost or penalty for doing so. If you do not uninstall the App, whether or not you have accessed the Site and used the Services during that time, you are considered to have accepted the proposed amendments.

Knitted grants you a limited license for the sole purpose of accessing and make personal use of the Site and App. The license to use the Site and App does not include any resale or commercial use of the Site or App; or any derivative use of this Site or App; or any use of data mining, robots, APIs, scraping, or other data gathering and extraction tools or processes. You agree not to store in any form, distribute, transmit, display, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, sell or otherwise exploit any of the content on the Site or App for any commercial purpose, or for any purpose that is prohibited by applicable law. If you violate any of these Terms, your permission to use the Site automatically terminates.

In consideration of your use of the Site, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the registration form, if applicable, and (b) to maintain and update this information to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If any information provided by you is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Knitted has the right to terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Site. You agree not to resell or transfer the Site or use of or access to the Site.

Knitted is not responsible for the content of any Third-Party Website or any link contained in a Third-Party Website. Knitted does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to Third-Party Websites, and the inclusion of any link in the App or Site is not and does not imply an affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, approval, investigation, verification or monitoring by Knitted of any information contained in any Third-Party Website.

THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN KNITTED AND YOU.
