Veriplace End User License Agreement
Last Updated June 4, 2009
You are entering into a legally binding agreement with WaveMarket, Inc.
These terms and conditions comprise a legally binding agreement between You and WaveMarket, Inc. ("Agreement") and You must accept these terms and conditions as presented to use the Veriplace service ("Veriplace" or "Service"). The words "WaveMarket," "we" or "us" refer to WaveMarket, Inc. and its affiliates ("WM Affiliates") and their respective employees, agents, permitted assigns and suppliers providing services under this Agreement, unless described differently below. The word "You" or "Your" refers to the person entering into this Agreement and if such person subscribes to the Service for use by others as set forth herein, then those others individuals are also included in the term "You" or "Your" as used in this Agreement.
Veriplace assists You in managing Your privacy preferences and the release of Your location information to applications that You obtain from other providers. You should only instruct Veriplace to disclose Your location with others that You trust, as WaveMarket and Veriplace have no control over and do not control the applications or activities of those other parties. Veriplace, however, does provide a variety of location privacy controls, including the ability to revoke the sharing of Your location information on a going-forward basis.
PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BELOW.
BY CLICKING ON THE "I ACCEPT" BUTTON, YOU WILL ENTER INTO THE AGREEMENT WITH WAVEMARKET, INC. AND BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS.
1. Your Subscription and Your Obligations With Veriplace
1.1 Use of Veriplace. By using Veriplace, You expressly authorize WaveMarket to disclose the location of Your device(s) to third parties that You identify in Your Veriplace account. Because You, and not WaveMarket, controls what information such third parties may receive from Veriplace, You should NOT disclose information with any third party that You do not trust. Once Veriplace discloses the location of Your mobile device with third parties that you authorized, then Your relationship with such third parties (and NOT this Agreement) describes how those parties may utilize Your location information. You may modify certain aspects of Your Veriplace account with respect to when Your mobile device may be located and by which applications via the options provided on http://www.veriplace.com.
VERIPLACE IS FOR YOUR PERSONAL USE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR OR RELIED ON FOR EMERGENCY LOCATION OR SAFETY PURPOSES OR UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES REQUIRING GUARANTEED RESULTS. YOU AGREE NOT TO USE VERIPLACE WHILE DRIVING A MOTOR VEHICLE.
1.2 License to WaveMarket. You do not have to submit anything to us, but if You choose to submit something, You must grant, and You actually grant by concluding the Agreement, a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, unlimited, assignable, sublicenseable, royalty-free right to us to copy, prepare derivative works of, distribute, publish, reproduce, display, remove, retain and use, in any way now known or in the future discovered, any content that You submit to us in connection with Veriplace, subject to the terms herein.

Such charges will appear on statements that either Your wireless carrier/MVNO or an application provider(s) sends You. Notwithstanding the foregoing, WaveMarket reserves the right to charge (and thereafter, revise) fees for Veriplace at any time upon providing prior notice to You. If You fail to pay any such charges for Veriplace when due, then WaveMarket reserves the right to pursue any and all legal remedies to collect the amounts owed by You.
