Other Important Information Regarding Potential Copyright Infringement or other Content Complaints

We have a policy of terminating the accounts of users who (in our reasonable discretion) are repeat infringers.

It is often difficult to determine if your intellectual property rights have been violated. We may request additional information before we remove any infringing material. If a dispute develops as to the correct owner of the rights in question, we reserve the right to remove your content along with that of the alleged infringer pending resolution of the matter.

HYKE will provide you with notice if your materials have been removed based on a third party complaint of alleged infringement of the third party’s intellectual property rights. As a regular part of our business, HYKE may display advertisements and product or service listings from a wide variety of companies. We encourage the owners of intellectual property rights who believe their rights are being infringed by a company who advertises or lists its products or service on any of our Products to resolve their disputes directly with that company. HYKE is not in a position to arbitrate disputes between users or the owners of intellectual property rights and companies who advertise or list their products or services on our Products. As a courtesy to owners of intellectual property rights, we may perform a limited investigation of reasonable complaints. However, we provide no guarantee that we will remove the allegedly infringing materials from our Products.

You may only view and use, download, reformat and Content for your revocable, non-commercial personal use, subject to these TOS. Except for the limited license provided to you, if you desire to use any of Content for any commercial or other purposes, you must obtain our prior written permission and the use of such Content is subject to: 

  • these TOS 
  • any Additional Terms that may govern the Content that are posted on the Products, and

  • (d)must not present false information about HYKE or its products or services; 
  • must not use any HYKE trademarks without the prior written permission from HYKE; and 
  • must not contain content that could be construed as distasteful, offensive or controversial.

You should review third parties’ terms of use and privacy policies before you use their services.

Information You Submit 

From time to time, the Products may contain functionality through which you can upload or otherwise submit information, data, software, messages, photographs, artwork, proposals, invoices, discount, HYKE campaign info,  audio, video, text, discount, and other materials to the Products (“User Upload Information”). For purposes of clarity, the definition of “User Upload Information” specifically excludes Custom Campaigns (defined below) and Your Contribution to Products (defined below) which shall be governed by the provisions set forth below. For example, the Products may offer forums, bulletin boards, chat rooms or other interactive areas (“Community User Forums”). You must read and follow the posted Community User Forum rules, if any, at the top of the forums in which you post. HYKE, its subsidiaries, affiliates or the directors, officers, employees, or other representatives of each of them do not endorse the content posted in Community User Forums. HYKE reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Products and pursue all legal remedies if we believe your User Upload Information infringes another’s copyright or otherwise violates any law, rule or regulation. Except as expressly allowed by HYKE in writing, you acknowledge and agree that you are prohibited from accepting payment for User Upload Information, including, without limitation, accepting payment for the inclusion of a logo, brand or other commercial content, in User Upload Information. You agree to use Community User Forums only to send and receive messages and material that are proper and related to that particular Community User Forum.

  • Except as otherwise provided in the Privacy Policy or elsewhere in these TOS or any other agreement (including but not limited to Service Agreements) or Additional Terms posted on the Products when you provide User Upload Information, User Upload Information will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary and we will not be liable for any use or disclosure to anyone, including, but not limited to, claimed intellectual property owners. We do not guarantee that User Upload Information will be private, except as may be provided in the Privacy Policy, even if the User Upload Information is in a password-protected area. Accordingly, you should not provide User Upload Information that you want protected from others. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject at all times to the terms of our Privacy Policy, User Uploaded Information uploaded or submitted through your account within the password protected HYKE Products environment shall only be accessible online by you, anyone that you grant access to your HYKE Web or Mobile App account and HYKE account representatives and employees and not by public visitors to the Products. Additionally, the Products might contain private user forums (as opposed to Community User Forums), the content of which shall only be accessible online by you, anyone that you grant access to your account and HYKE account representatives and employees and not by public visitors to the Products.
  • When you upload User Upload Information via the Products, you irrevocably grant to HYKE, its subsidiaries, affiliates, and partners a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license containing, without limitation, all right, title and interest in User Upload Information, including, without limitation, all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade identities, copyrights, trade secrets, logos, domain names, know-how, source code and object code, mask-work rights, inventions, moral rights, author’s rights, algorithms, rights in packaging, goodwill and other intellectual property and proprietary rights whatsoever in User Upload Information. You further agree that HYKE, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, and partners and the directors, officers, employees, licensees and other representatives of each of them, will have the unlimited right everywhere, and forever, without any credit or compensation to you, to use, reuse, modify, alter, display, archive, publish, sub-license, perform, reproduce, make available for download, disclose, transmit, broadcast, post, sell, translate, create derivative works of, distribute and use for advertising, marketing, publicity and promotional purposes, any User Upload Information or portions of User Upload Information, and your name, voice, likeness and other identifying information, in any form, media, software or technology of any kind now known or developed in the future for any purposes whatsoever, including, without limitation, developing, manufacturing and marketing products using such User Upload Information. You hereby waive any moral rights you may have in and to any User Upload Information, even if such material is altered or changed in a manner not agreeable to you. You agree and understand that HYKE, its, subsidiaries, affiliates and partners are not obligated to use User Upload Information submitted through the Products or otherwise, and may alternatively choose to discard, and limit or block access to User Uploaded Information without any liability whatsoever.
  • All User Upload Information is your sole responsibility. This means that you, and not HYKE, are entirely responsible for all User Upload Information that you upload, post, e-mail, transmit or otherwise make available via the Products. If you post personal information in Community User Forums or on other publicly available areas of the Products, then you may receive unsolicited messages from third parties. HYKE cannot ensure the security of any information you post on publicly available areas of the Products. Under no circumstances will we be liable in any way for any User Upload Information, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in User Upload Information, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of User Upload Information. You represent that User Upload Information is an original work by you or you have all necessary rights in it and to submit it to HYKE under the terms of these TOS; that it is not defamatory; and that it does not infringe upon, misappropriate or violate the rights of any third parties, including, without limitation, any intellectual property rights, rights of publicity or privacy or any other proprietary rights or otherwise violate any law, rule, or regulation. You further agree that you are solely liable for any and all costs, claims, demands, investigations, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, settlements, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, connected to or arising from your breach of any representation or warranty, or other violation of the terms of the TOS. You acknowledge that the Products, through HYKE, its subsidiaries, affiliates, and partners undertakes no obligation to pre-screen User Upload Information, but that it has the right, in its sole discretion to modify, delete, edit, distribute, refuse, move, block access to or remove any User Upload Information. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any of User Upload Information, including, but not limited to, any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of User Upload Information. Since HYKE, its subsidiaries, affiliates and partners may not pre-screen user-generated content, you may bear legal responsibility for others’ exposure to any offensive indecent or objectionable content in User Upload Information.

Use of HYKE Campaigns on the Products and Custom Services

HYKE may provide certain functionality on the Products that allows you to manipulate Content, including, but not limited to, certain templates, forms, or promotional top-up campaigns (each a “Template and collectively, the “Templates”) provided on the Products, which may be used by you for the creation, development and submission of Products, Campaigns or Custom Services (“Services”) by allowing you to combine your own content (“Your Contribution to Products”) with the Templates or otherwise customize the Templates to create Custom Services. The Templates are considered Content, are owned by HYKE. Any Services or Custom Services you develop are subject to the provisions set forth below and any additional agreements you enter into with HYKE regarding the Custom Services. Please note that except as set forth in these TOS, you cannot copy, download, print, create derivatives of, or utilize in any way any of the Templates or other materials on the Products without our express prior written permission.

When you purchase Services from us (or start using HYKE Products), the purchase will be subject to the terms of this TOS. Any such usage is incorporated herein by this reference. The Templates are owned by us and will continue to be owned by us during and after your use. This includes any modifications to a Template that we make or authorize you to make, whether personalized or otherwise. All of Your Contribution to Products, Services, and Custom Services is your sole responsibility and you, and not HYKE, are entirely responsible for all of the content you provide in Your Contribution to Products. It is your responsibility to check the correctness of each Campaign before submitting it to HYKE. Under no circumstances will we be liable in any way for Your Contribution to Products and or Services, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in Your Contribution to Products, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of Your Contribution to Products or Services. You represent and warrant that Your Contribution to Products is original work by you or you have all necessary rights in it and to submit it to HYKE under the terms of these TOS; that it is not defamatory; and that it does not infringe upon, misappropriate or violate the rights of any third parties, including, without limitation, any intellectual property rights, rights of publicity or privacy or any other proprietary rights or otherwise violate any law, rule, or regulation. You further agree that you are solely liable for any and all costs, claims, demands, investigations, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, settlements, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, connected to or arising from, your breach of any representation or warranty, or other violation of the terms of the TOS or any other user agreement posted on the Products. Use of all Templates and materials must be consistent with and are subject to any Additional Terms that are provided at the time you start using our Products, including, but not limited to, as specifically set forth in any Agreement.

During the period that your Campaign(s) is/are featured on our Products, we may allow you, with our express prior written permission, the exclusive use of the specific Template(s) that you selected only within the general geographic area. For purposes of certainty, even if we grant you the exclusive use of a Template while your Campaign is in effect, we may allow someone in another geographic area to use it. We can allow others, even in your geographic area, to use, and request modifications to, the Template. Whether or not you use our Products, you cannot, without our express prior written consent, use the Templates in any Products or Services not purchased from us. 

Your use of the Templates and your creation of any Campaign is subject to the following terms and conditions:

      • HYKE owns the Templates and retains all rights in the Templates. The license HYKE grants you to use the Templates in connection with Products is limited to the Templates specifically made available by HYKE for use in connection with Products or Services, and may be revoked by HYKE at any time without liability to you;
      • The license to use the Templates in connection with Products is solely for the purpose of allowing you to manipulate the Templates or combine the Templates with Your Contribution to Products; 
      • Your use of the Templates and Products is subject to these TOS and any additional terms and conditions as HYKE may from time-to-time notify you of in these TOS, any Additional Terms, and the terms set forth in any related Service Agreement. 
      • You retain whatever prior rights you had in Your Contribution to Products and retain the right to use Your Contribution to Products in works entirely unrelated to Products and entirely unrelated to derivative works of Products. 
      • You will not make any use of or license, distribute, reproduce, or otherwise exploit any part of the Products, without our express written permission.

If we do not receive payment from your bank or from your credit card issuer or its agent (with respect to credit card payment), you agree to pay all amounts due upon our demand in accordance with the terms of the Rate Calculation posted on our Products. Your credit card issuer agreement governs your use of your designated credit card in connection with payment, and you must refer to that agreement and not these TOS to determine your rights and liabilities as a cardholder.
