Pinza Terms of Use
Age Limit
Pinza Services are only for people aged 13 years old and over. If we learn that someone under 13 is using Pinza Services, we will terminate their account without notice.
Pinza AccountYou cannot browse much on the Site or use the Services without registering for an account. To get the most out of the Pinza platform, you will need to register, choose a username name, and set a password etc.
Please note that you are responsible for all the activity on your account, and for keeping your password and account information confidential. If you share your account information with anyone, that other person may be able to take control of the account, and we may not be able to determine who is the proper account holder. We will not have any liability to you (or anyone you share your account information with) as a result of your or their actions under those circumstances. If you find out that someone has used your account without your permission, you should
report it to us immediately.
Ownership Of ContentBefore posting any content to Pinza, it is important that you read our
Content Guidelines. If your content does not comply with our guidelines it may be removed at any time, without notice.
Please note that you own all rights to the content that you create and post on the Pinza Services. Logically, if the content wasn’t yours to start with, putting it on Pinza doesn’t make it yours. Do not submit content you don’t hold the copyright to/for (unless you have explicit permission, including to grant Pinza all the rights outlined in these terms).
When you post content to Pinza, we need the legal permission under applicable copyright laws to display that content to users of the Pinza Services. Legally this means you give us a non-exclusive license to publish your content on the Pinza Services, including anything reasonably related to publishing it (like storing, displaying, reformatting or distributing it).
Note that you are responsible for the content you post and that you assume all risks related to its publication and display, including other peoples reliance on its accuracy and any claims relating to intellectual property or other legal rights.
Pinza reserves the right to enable advertising on the Services, including in connection with the display of your content or other information. We may also use your Content to promote the Services. We will never sell your content to third parties without your explicit permission.
In your use of the Services you may enter into additional terms and conditions and other agreements that alter or override these Terms of Use, such as when you enter a contest or competition etc. In case of any conflict or inconsistency, the terms and conditions of those additional terms and agreements would override these Terms of Use.
Our Rights in the Services
We reserve all rights in the Sites’ and the Services look and feel, and in our content. You may not copy or adapt any portion of our code or visual design elements (including logos, colours etc) without express written permission from Pinza or as set out in this clause. Likewise, please do not modify or change our logo in any way.
Pinza may change, terminate, or restrict access to any aspect of the Services, at any time, without notice. We can remove any content you post or submit for any reason. Pinza may access, read, preserve, and disclose any information as we reasonably believe is necessary to (i) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, (ii) enforce the Terms of Use, including investigation of potential violations, (iii) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, (iv) respond to user support requests, or (v) protect the rights, property or safety of the Services, its users and the public.
Potential Copyright IssuesIf you’d like to submit a claim of copyright infringement, please visit our support page on
reporting potential copyright infringement. Pinza reserves the right to remove content alleged to be infringing without prior notice, at our sole discretion, and without liability to you or anyone else. In appropriate circumstances, we will also terminate a user’s account if the user is determined to be a repeat infringer.
We sometimes come across websites that have illegally scraped content from Pinza. When we find these sites we do our best to have them shutdown. In order to act on behalf of our users we need to have your legal permission to do that so we ask for it here when you sign up. You authorize us to act as your agent to issue take down notices under the DMCA and/or any other similar legislation that allows for the submission of requests to Internet service providers and any other person involved in the illegal posting for the removal of infringing or allegedly infringing copyright materials that are contained in or displayed on such service providers platforms and/or services.
Do's And Dont'sPlease be mindful that you do not damage, scrape, interrupt or reverse engineer Pinza or its Services. Please also refer our
Code of Conduct page for further guidelines.
Deletion of Your AccountYou can permanently delete your Pinza account by requesting via our
contact us.
Even if your account is deactivated some or all of your content may remain live for an indefinite period. This would most likely occur if the content you have shared is being accessed by other users within the Pinza Services.
We may terminate or deactivate your account or cease providing you with all or part of the Services at any time and for any reason we deem appropriate. We will make all reasonable efforts to notify you by the email address associated with your account or the next time you attempt to access your account.
Liability, Disclaimers and Indemnification
Each of the subsections below only applies up to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties or the limitation of liability in contracts, and as a result the contents of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in this section is intended to limit any rights you may have which may not be lawfully limited;
No warranty. Your use of our Services and any content is solely at your own risk and discretion. They are provided to you “as is” and “as available”. That means they don’t come with any warranty of any kind, express or implied. Pinza specifically disclaims any implied warranty of merchantability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, availability, security, title or non-infringement, and any warranties implied by any course of dealing or performance.
Responsibility for Content. All content, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, is the sole responsibility of the person who originated such content. We may not monitor or control the content posted via the Services and we cannot take responsibility for such content. We do not endorse, support, represent or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any content or communications posted via the Services or endorse any opinions expressed via the Services. You understand that by using the Services, you may be exposed to content that might be offensive, harmful, inaccurate or otherwise inappropriate, or in some cases, postings that have been mislabeled or are otherwise deceptive.
Release. When you use the Services, you release Pinza from claims, damages, and demands of every kind — known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed — arising out of or in any way related to (a) disputes between users, or between users and any third party relating to the use of the Services and (b) the Services.
Pinza’s liability to you. Pinza won’t be liable to you for any damages that arise from your use of, or in connection with, the Services and any content. This exclusion includes: (a) where the Services are hacked or unavailable, (b) all types of damages (direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, consequential, special or exemplary), whatever the type of claim or loss (breach of contract, tort (including negligence), breach of warranty, or any other claim or loss), (c) any lost profits, data or revenues, or (d) any conduct or content of other users or third parties on the Site or the Services. In no event shall Pinza’s liability for damages be in excess of (in the aggregate) one hundred US dollars ($100.00).
Your liability to Pinza. If you do something that gets us sued, or break any of the promises you make in these Terms of Use, you shall compensate us for any liabilities, losses, claims, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and costs) that arise from or relate to your use or misuse of the Services. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to this clause, in which case you agree that you’ll cooperate and help us in asserting any defenses.
Third party websites. The Site and Services may contain links to other websites; for instance, maps, pins, user profiles, and other posts may link to other sites. When you access third-party websites, you do so at your own risk. We don’t control or endorse those sites.
Serving Advertisements
We may display third party advertisements and promotions on or in connection with the Service. Since the advertising we provide is based upon information provided by third parties, we will not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred by you as a result of any advertisements. Your interactions with advertisers found on or through the Service, including, without limitation, all reliance upon advertising, all commercial transactions and legal obligations associated with such advertisements, are solely between you and the advertisers.
General Terms
Changes. Our Terms of Use may change from time to time. If they do, we’ll let you know about any material changes, either by notifying you on the Site or by sending you an email. Please note that your continued use of the Services after any change means that you agree with, and consent to be bound by, the new Terms of Use. If you disagree with any changes in the Terms of Use and do not wish to be subject to the revised terms, you will need to close your account and/or stop using the Services.
Entire agreement. These Terms of Use (including any document incorporated by reference into them) are the whole agreement between Pinza and you concerning the Services, and these Terms of Use supersede and replace any prior agreements between Pinza and you regarding the Services.
No waiver and severability. If Pinza doesn’t exercise or enforce a particular right or provision under these Terms of Use, that doesn’t mean we’ve waived that right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
Choice of law and jurisdiction. We at Pinza encourage you to contact us if you’re having an issue, before resorting to the courts. In the unfortunate situation where legal action does arise, these Terms of Use shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the United Kingdom, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. You agree that any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms of Use will take place in the courts of the United Kingdom.
Assignment. These Terms of Use are personal to you. You can’t assign them, transfer them, or sublicense them unless you get Pinza’s prior written consent. Pinza has the right to assign, transfer, or delegate any of its rights and obligations under these Terms of Use without notice and without your consent.
