Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Agreement") is a binding agreement between you ("End User" or "you") and Carepostdotio, LLC ("Company"). This Agreement governs your use of the Close-Knit applications (including all related documentation, the "Applications"). The Applications are licensed, not sold, to you.

BY DOWNLOADING THE APPLICATIONS, YOU (A) ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT; (B) REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE TO ENTER INTO A BINDING AGREEMENT; AND (C) ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE LEGALLY BOUND BY ITS TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT USE THE APPLICATIONS AND DELETE THEM FROM YOUR MOBILE DEVICE.

1. Account Registration and Content. When you complete the registration process, you create an account and become a registered user of the Applications. Your account allows you to create and send postcards (the ÒServicesÓ), subject to this Agreement and the Company Privacy Policy. Company reserves the right to refuse to allow a user to register or use the Services for any reason, at CompanyÕs sole discretion.

To register, you must enter your email address and password. You may not select an email address that is used by someone else, and it cannot be indecent, or otherwise offensive, or be used in any way that violates the Agreement. You may not provide false information during the registration process.

You will have the ability to send postcards to those you designate (ÒDesignated RecipientsÓ). You will have the ability to upload photograph and voice content in connection with the Services. The postcards created through use of the Services may remain on Company or third party servers indefinitely. However, Company cannot and does not guarantee the availability of a postcard for any particular period of time, and postcards may remain on the Company servers or third party servers even after you delete your account.

You will also have the ability to invite others to create and send postcards to your Designated Recipients by sending them a unique access code. This will allow these users to create and send postcards to your Designated Recipients. You will retain control over the content they send to your Designated Recipients when using an access code.

Maintaining account security is very important. Company takes commercially reasonable steps to keep the Applications secure, however security is not guaranteed. Security also depends on you. You should not reveal your password to anyone. Your account is at risk if you let someone use it inappropriately and your account is subject to termination if you or anyone using your account violates the Agreement. You should also take care to only send access codes to those you trust, as they will have the ability to send postcards to your Designated Recipients.

You agree to immediately notify Company of any unauthorized use of your account or password. You are fully and solely responsible for all activity on your account, even if such activities were not committed by you, including activities committed by those whom receive an access code from you. Company will not be liable for any losses or damage arising from unauthorized use of your account or password, and you agree to indemnify and hold Company harmless for any improper or illegal use of your account. This includes illegal or improper use by someone to whom you have given permission to use your account.
