CAPTCHA 2.0(tm) and AdEmbed(tm) Terms Of Use These terms of use relate to the CAPTCHA 2.0(tm) and AdEmbed(tm) Service and its hosting by BotProof, LLC, an Illinois Limited Liability Corporation (hereafter, the "Service"). PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. BY CLICKING "I ACCEPT" OR OTHERWISE USING THIS SITE OR THE SERVICE IN ANY MANNER, YOU AGREE ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF AND YOUR COMPANY THAT THESE TERMS FORM AN AGREEMENT BY YOU, ENFORCEABLE LIKE ANY WRITTEN CONTRACT SIGNED BY YOU. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL THE TERMS HEREIN, YOU MUST REFRAIN FROM USING THE SITE OR THE SERVICE IN ANY MANNER. CLICKING "I ACCEPT" BELOW SIGNIFIES THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS DOCUMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY AND UNDERSTAND, ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO ITS TERMS. THESE TERMS INCLUDE AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE These terms of use form an agreement by you ("Agreement") that BotProof can update this Agreement at any time, with or without notice to you. Generally speaking, BotProof will update this Agreement by posting new terms of use on BotProof's website ("Site"). You agree that any continued use of the Service is subject to the terms as updated. 1. The Service. This Agreement relates to a web-based service where you are provided a CAPTCHA (with or without an advertisement), but in a manner that deters automated computer interpretation. 2. Your Account. A. Account Information. You will establish a username and password at the time you register to use the Service. This username and password represent an important security feature protecting access to the information you decide to store using the Service; you should take all reasonable precautions to protect your username and password and ensure that it is only ever known to you. Do not write or disclose this information to anyone. If you believe that anyone has gained unauthorized access to your account, you should advise us immediately, through the email contact information on the BotProof Site. In addition, you also agree to keep your e-mail contact address current and agree that we may use this address to send you notices and otherwise contact you regarding your account. If your email address changes, you agree to notify us immediately of the change, by updating your contact information through the BotProof Site. If we try to send you any e-mail using the most recent address we have for you and receive a message that the e-mail is undeliverable because the address is no longer valid, or if you otherwise revoke permission to send you notices to a valid email address, we may cancel your account and/or your use of the Service without notice to you. B. CAPTCHA Presentation. Generally speaking, a CAPTCHA will be presented upon request by the plugin provided by BotProof which you install and configure on your WordPress blog. For example, you may invoke the plugin as part of a comments section for your blog readers. Because the CAPTCHA is displayed in a manner that is easily read by human beings but is difficult for computers to interpret, this permits you to elicit reader comments while at the same time reducing the likelihood your comment section can be subject to spam or otherwise processed by automated systems. This doesn't mean you'll never be spammed again, but it does make it more difficult for someone to post spam to your comments section without a human element. C. AdEmbed. Generally speaking, for AdEmbed participants, an advertisement will be presented along with any CAPTCHA upon request by the plugin provided BotProof which you install and configure on your WordPress blog. For example, you may invoke the plugin as part of a comments section for your blog readers. If one of your blog users clicks on the advertisement, a separate browser window will open directed to the advertiser's site. If a commissionable transaction occurs between that user and the advertiser, BotProof will be notified and this event is then eligible for a commission to be paid to you. However, any commissionable event that is subsequently cancelled, refunded, results in a return or a chargeback, or in any other way is reversed or reduced, then the commission will be rescinded. 3. Your Conduct. A. Use Of The Service. You agree not to use the Service to: i). upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any content that is pornographic, offensive, unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable; ii). violate any law, in any jurisdiction; iii). harm minors in any way; iv). impersonate any person or entity, including, but not limited to, a BotProof official or employee, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent affiliation with any person or entity; v). forge headers or otherwise manipulate identifiers in order to disguise the origin of any communication transmitted through the BotProof's Information Systems; vi). upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any information that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships (such as inside information, proprietary and confidential information learned or disclosed as part of employment relationships or under nondisclosure agreements); vii). upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any communication that infringes or encourages the infringement of the proprietary rights of any party, including strictly and without limitation, any copyright-protected music, video or other artistic work or file; viii). upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, "junk mail," "spam," "chain letters," "pyramid schemes," or any other form of solicitation; ix). upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any material that contains software viruses or any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment; x). interfere with or disrupt any BotProof Information System or disobey any published requirements, procedures, policies or regulations associated with such system; xi). intentionally or unintentionally violate any applicable local, state, national or international law, including, but not limited to, regulations promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any rules of any national or other securities exchange, including, without limitation, the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ, and any regulations having the force of law; xii). "stalk" or otherwise harass, defame or invade the privacy of another; or xiii). collect or store personal data about other users. B. No Resale Or "Service Bureau" Use Of Service. You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, trade, resell, transfer or exploit for any commercial purposes, any portion of the Service, use of the Service, or access to the Service. You may not permit third parties to benefit from the use or functionality of the Service via a timesharing, service bureau or other arrangement. C. No Reverse Engineering. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service, except to the extent the foregoing restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law. 4. Other Terms and Conditions. You acknowledge that BotProof may establish practices and limits concerning use of its servers, information and systems ("Information Systems") including without limitation, the maximum number of CAPTCHAs served to you, any commissions you may earn from participating in the AdEmbed program, advertisements served in conjunction with the AdEmbed program, the times and periods when such access is unavailable or is down for service, and number of times you may access the Service in any given time period, and any time-out period for logged-in accounts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, BotProof may monitor use of the Service for security investigation purposes, and may provide data to law enforcement agencies if requested by such agencies, without violating any common law or statutory right of privacy of any individual. BotProof may without notice, immediately terminate any account, any email address, or any access, if such is deemed by BotProof in its sole discretion to represent a security risk to BotProof, or if abuse or violation of the terms of this Agreement are detected. In the case you represent a company, you agree that BotProof may for abuse request discontinuance of access for certain personnel to BotProof Information Systems, and BotProof may refuse access to such personnel; you will comply with all such requests where BotProof can demonstrate such abuse. BotProof may, without notice to you or liability to you, also disable your account and delete associated information in the event of non-payment of any fees owed by you in connection with the Service (as applicable). 5.
