Terms of Service (State Agencies)

This Agreement (the “Agreement”) between The Jellyvision Lab, Inc. (“Jellyvision,” “we,” or “us”) and you (“you”) states the terms and conditions under which you may download, access, and use any module in the ALEX® suite of products on any platform, including, but not limited to, any website on which an ALEX® module is made available and any downloadable mobile application (e.g., an iPhone or Android app) (collectively, the “Service”).

BY DOWNLOADING, ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY (available here), WHICH IS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO ACCEPT ALL THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT DOWNLOAD, ACCESS, OR USE THE SERVICE.

This Agreement is between you and Jellyvision only, and not with your sponsoring state agency (state/agency) or any mobile device operator or app distributor (e.g., Apple, Google, Samsung, or Microsoft).

1. ABOUT THE SERVICE

The Service consists of a virtual host, ALEX®, that provides users with information and interactive counseling. The Service is available only to authorized users, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, who have been provided with an access code or URL for the specific version of the Service tailored to their state/agency. You may not share the access code or state/agency-specific URL with others, unless expressly permitted by your state/agency. If you have not been given access to the Service from an authorized state/agency, or have not been otherwise permitted to use the Service by Jellyvision, you may not download, access, or use the Service.

2. LIMITED LICENSE TO USE THE SERVICE

A. Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, Jellyvision grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use and access the Service, solely for your personal, non-commercial use. If you downloaded a version of the Service for mobile devices (e.g., an iPhone app), your license is limited to use of the Service on each mobile device that you own or control that is associated with the account through which the mobile application was downloaded and as permitted by the usage rules set forth in the applicable platform’s (e.g., Apple App Store) terms of service.

B. You agree not to (i) use the Service for any use or purpose other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement; (ii) copy, adapt, modify, prepare derivative works based upon, distribute, license, sell, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, stream, broadcast, or otherwise exploit the Service or any portion thereof, except as expressly permitted in this Agreement; (iii) use the Service for creating a product, service, or software that is, directly or indirectly, competitive with or in any way a substitute for the Service; or (iv) remove any proprietary notices or labels in the Service. No licenses or rights are granted to you by implication or otherwise under any intellectual property rights owned or controlled by Jellyvision or its licensors, except for the permissions and rights expressly granted in this Agreement.

C. The terms of this Agreement apply to all upgrades and updates to the Service provided by Jellyvision, unless such upgrade or update is accompanied by a separate license, in which case the terms of that license will govern.

D. Jellyvision reserves the right to refuse any user access to the Service without notice for any reason, including, but not limited to, a violation of this Agreement.

3. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

A. All content and materials comprising the Service, including without limitation, software, computer code, artwork, graphics, video, animations, sounds, musical compositions, audio-visual effects, games, titles, themes, objects, icons, virtual items, characters, stories, dialogue, catch phrases, concepts, formats, effects, methods of operation, and documentation, and the selection and arrangement thereof (“Content”) and the trademarks, service marks, trade dress, and logos contained therein (“Marks”), as between you and Jellyvision, are owned by Jellyvision or its licensors. All other trademarks, service marks, trade names, and logos used on the Service, with or without attribution, are the property of their respective owners.
B. You acknowledge and agree that the Content and Marks are protected by copyrights, trademarks, service marks, patents, trade secrets, or other proprietary rights and laws of the United States and similar laws of other jurisdictions. Jellyvision reserves all rights, including without limitation, all intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights, in connection with the Content and Marks. You acknowledge and agree that you shall not acquire any ownership rights whatsoever by downloading, accessing, or using the Service.

C. Jellyvision shall not be obligated to indemnify or defend you with respect to any third party claim arising out or relating to the Service or your use of the Service. To the extent Jellyvision is required to provide indemnification by applicable law, Jellyvision, not the mobile device operator or app distributor, shall be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any claim that the Service, or your use of the Service, infringes any third party intellectual property right.

6. USER FEEDBACK

In general, Jellyvision does not accept unsolicited submissions including, without limitation, submissions of product ideas, information, suggestions, proposals, or concepts (collectively, “User Feedback”).

In addition, any and all User Feedback provided by you to Jellyvision, whether solicited or not, and all rights contained therein, will become the sole property of Jellyvision and may be used, copied, sublicensed, adapted, transmitted, distributed, publicly performed, published, displayed, or deleted as Jellyvision sees fit. You agree that you are not entitled to any compensation, credit, or notice whatsoever in connection with your User Feedback or Jellyvision’s use thereof.

A. The Service may contain links to third-party websites or resources. You acknowledge and agree that Jellyvision is not responsible or liable for: (i) the availability or accuracy of such websites or resources; or (ii) the content, products, or services on or available from such websites or resources. Links to such websites or resources do not imply any endorsement by Jellyvision of such websites or resources or the content, products, or services available from such websites or resources. You acknowledge sole responsibility for and assume all risk arising from your use of any such websites or resources.

B. You acknowledge and agree that your access to and use of any third party content and services and any correspondence or business dealings between you and any third party using the Service are governed by and may require your acceptance of the terms of service of such third party, including, without limitation, any terms, privacy policies, conditions, representations, warranties or disclaimers contained therein.

WE MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR BE AVAILABLE ON AN UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE BASIS. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM JELLYVISION OR THROUGH THE SERVICE, WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY MADE HEREIN.

Jellyvision may notify you of any such changes by posting the notice of such changes on the Jellyvision website or sending notice via other means.
