You” or “you” means the individual who downloads, accesses, uses, or shares uses Avatar World (and, if you represent a legal entity, it also means that entity, and you represent and warrant that you are authorized to enter into this agreement for that entity).

Avatar World is a holographic avatar video production, post-production and publishing platform (the “Platform”), comprising

1) Capture software, as well as camera and lighting specifications, for the production of the avatar footage;

2) Post-processing software and services to produce the finished avatar and prepare it for streaming;

3) Avatar World Mobile App, which may be standalone or integrated with other mobile apps to enable the publication and display to mobile users of avatars.

For purposes of this EULA, “Avatar World” consists of an ecosystem and services (the “Services”) which:

(a) licenses “Publishers” (persons who create avatars for use in Avatar World) to use the Platform, services and software provided by Geogram to develop, process, and upload content for creation of avatars, conversion of content into an avatar, contribute avatars to the Services, the streaming of that avatar, and the organization and sharing of avatars in Avatar World (“Publisher Services”); and

(b) licenses end users (“End Users”) to use services and software provided by Geogram to view and stream avatars in Avatar World, organize, share, and follow avatars and related Content (“End User Services”).

For purposes of this EULA, Geogram’s “App” consists of: Geogram’s website, cloud-based server, cloud based client application(s), including software, code, text, graphics, logos, designs, layouts, interfaces, and other items included in or associated with the application; and any updates, supplements, and the result of any support or other services provided by Geogram in respect of the App, all of which are deemed included within the App upon delivery to you. The App may be delivered to you electronically, directly or through a third party. The App may be delivered integrated with a third party’s application in which event this EULA is supplemental to your agreement with that third party. The App may enable your access to one or more websites, other applications, databases, or other products and services offered by Geogram or accessible through Geogram’s systems (“Services”).

Content” refers to the avatars, avatars, text, software, scripts, graphics, photos, sounds, music, videos, audiovisual combinations, interactive features and other materials that You develop and upload to the Services.

This EULA states the terms and conditions on which Geogram grants, and you accept a limited, non-exclusive license to install and use the App on one device owned by you or under your legitimate control, to engage in non-commercial use of the App, and upon which Geogram may make available access to Services. By installing or using the App, you accept all of the terms and conditions of this EULA.

Upon acceptance, these terms and conditions form a legal agreement with you and any entity that obtained the Services and or the App and on whose behalf it is used. Your rights to use the Services and the App end if you do not comply with the terms of this EULA.

Geogram may change these terms at any time without prior notice. The revised terms will become effective upon posting them to the Services or the App. Any use of the Services or the App after such date shall constitute your acceptance of such revised terms. If any change to these terms is not acceptable to you, your sole remedy is to cease accessing, browsing and otherwise using the Services and the App.

There may be additional terms that Geogram presents to you from time to time, for example, at the time of a download (“Additional Terms”). In the event of a conflict between this EULA and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will be applied in priority to the EULA, unless the Additional Terms expressly state otherwise.

Geogram may suspend or discontinue offering the App; modify the App; change or discontinue the Services available through the App; change how it offers and operates such Services (e.g., to begin charging a fee to access features, services, or Content that had previously been made available without charge); remove Content; alter Content; impose limits on certain features or restrict your access to part or all of the App, Services and Content; or make other changes in product and service offerings at its sole discretion and with or without notice to you. Geogram will not be liable to you or any third party for taking any of these actions.

If any Content is intended to be location based and permission based and that you are responsible for setting and withdrawing permissions to your Content, failing which Geogram shall be entitled to assume there are no location based restrictions.

You further acknowledge and agree that even if a copy of the App continues to reside on your device after Geogram makes changes in its product or services offerings, the App may not work as it did prior to such action, and Geogram will have no liability to you or any third party as a result.

Your license to Geogram’s Services and App, as applicable, is non-exclusive, and is not transferable without prior written notice to and the express consent of Geogram, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Your rights of access to any of Geogram’s Services through the App are non-transferable.

You acknowledge that Content uploaded to the Services may be posted to or hosted at a third party content hosting and delivery service. In such event, that third party’s Terms of Service shall apply to any such Content. If you supply Content to Geogram, you agree Geogram shall have the rights to apply such third party’s Terms of Service to you, your Content and your use of Services to the extent necessary or appropriate for Geogram to comply with such Terms of Service.

Content

Content is supplied by Publishers such as you.

If you publish Content, you are solely responsible for your own Content and the consequences of submitting and publishing your Content on the Services. You warrant that you own or have all necessary and appropriate rights to all Content you publish on the Services.

The Geogram Terms of Service contain your grant of rights and licenses to Geogram, and its service providers, and other users of the Services to your Content and your obligations to Geogram and to the Geogram community.

By using the Services or the App you agree Geogram may offer access to third party Content, and may use the App to deliver to you your Content, third party Content, push notifications, text messages, MMS messages, advertising and other electronic commercial messages based on parameters determined by Geogram. You may discontinue receipt of push messages in your device’s or the App’s settings or by deleting the App, as applicable.

Some of Geogram’s Services are supported by advertising revenue and promotions. You agree that Geogram may deliver such advertising and promotions to End Users through the Services in conjunction with your Content. The manner, mode, and extent of such advertising and promotions are in Geogram’s sole discretion and are subject to change without notice to You.

You acknowledge that the App may check for updates to the App that may be available to you and may deliver those updates to you electronically. Geogram will collect and will be entitled to use your data, including without limitation, registration and user registration data, telemetry data (e.g., operating system, number of processors, graphic chipset, memory, device type, locale, time), and error reporting data in order to improve the App, the Services, and Geogram software, products and services generally, and or any other commercial purposes elected by Geogram.

When you use the App, you may connect to Geogram’s or its suppliers’ or vendors’ servers. Your use of the App is governed by Geogram’s Privacy Policy. You consent to Geogram’s use of data that you provide or that Geogram may collect about you through the App, in compliance with the Privacy Policy.
