Terms of Service
Updated: October 2010

Thank you for registering on RCEURO.COM LLP (RCEURO), a free online service for creating and participating in your own Social Networks and communities.
These terms of service covers your use of the RCEURO service for creating and enjoying Social Networks and Communities (hereafter referred to as Social Networks) on the RCEURO Platform.
By registering with RCEURO, creating, or using Social Networks built on RCEURO (“RCEURO” or “us”), you are agreeing to these terms of service (“Terms of Service” or “Terms”).

Description & Definitions
RCEURO offers a platform for creating your own Social Networks and communities (“Platform”).
Social Networks or Networks are comprised of Code and Content. Networks are created by Users or by us and provided, through the use of the RCEURO Platform, for Users to connect with other Users online. Social Networks include features such as User profiles, friends, comments, recommendations, forums, photo sharing, video sharing, reviews, ratings, people matching, and events, among others.

Users
are people who register on RCEURO to create, find, visit, use, and contribute to one or more Networks, which can include posting Content or responding to Content.

Network Creators
are Users who have created a Network on the RCEURO Platform.

Code
is the source code (e.g., HTML or PHP code) used to provide the functionality behind Social Networks on the RCEURO Platform. Code may be contributed by us, developed by a User, provided by another User, or any combination of the three. Public Code is Code that all Users may copy, modify, and use in other Networks. Private Code is Code for a Network that Users (other than the Network Creator of that Network) are not allowed to view, copy, or modify; the applicable Network Creator may, through a premium service, designate the Network's Code as Private Code.

Content
means any work of authorship (other than the Code and the user interface of a Social Network), including User profiles, comments, recommendations, forums, photos, videos, sounds, images, text, files, listings, postings, messages, or other materials posted on or transmitted through the RCEURO Platform or through any Network. Users upload Content to Social Networks. Social Networks, in turn, control Content. If the Network Creator designates the Network as private, any Content submitted to that Network will be deemed to be Private Content. Private Content is licensed for use only within the Network into which it is posted. Public Content is available in the Network in which it is posted, other Networks, as well as the RCEURO bar, which we'll get to in a moment.

Tags
are descriptions (words or phrases) you can assign to Content. You can assign as many Tags to Content as you like. You can also add, edit, and delete Tags that you've assigned.

RCEURO bar
is the space reserved by us in all Social Networks to provide services to Users of Networks on the RCEURO Platform. When closed, it occupies the top 30 pixels of every page. When the RCEURO bar is open, it offers RCEURO Platform Services for Users, including User registration, a message center, friends and contacts (including the ability to import contacts from third party email services), and a listing of the Networks you are using across the RCEURO Platform.

RCEURO Platform Services
include, but aren't limited to: single sign-on (via a “RCEURO ID”) for all Social Networks on the RCEURO Platform; managing lists of friends and contacts; messaging between Users; importing of contacts who are not Users of RCEURO; navigation; and search. As a Network Creator, we also offer: User registration; User account management; Secure PHP Sandbox for development; Network management and security; Internal and external APIs; Javascript-compatible markup API, URL command line API for auto-generation of pages; Semi-structured Content Store; Network display, management, and search.

Ownership of Content
RCEURO does not claim any ownership rights in the Content you provide. You, as the Network Creator, own the Content you create and upload (“your Content”). After posting your Content, you continue to retain all ownership rights in such Content and you continue to have the right to use and license your Content in any way you choose.
These Terms of Service includes a number of licenses that are necessary for RCEURO to make your Network and your Content available through the RCEURO Platform. For example, without the right to modify Content, RCEURO would not be able to format Content to meet technical requirements, and without the right to publicly perform or publicly display Content, RCEURO could not make the Content available for other Users to view.

Licenses to Content
License from You
Your Content remains yours. We claim no ownership interest in the Content you provide on Networks run by RCEURO on the RCEURO Platform. However, we also want to encourage sharing of Content between Users and Networks across the RCEURO Platform. To this end, by uploading Content to a Network in which the Content is designated as Public Content, you grant to RCEURO and all other Users a nonexclusive license to reproduce, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform, and publicly display such Content on the condition that the Content is attributed in a manner specified by its author, if at all (a “Public Content License”).

If you upload Content to a Network in which the Content is designated as Private Content, you grant to RCEURO and all other Users of that Network a nonexclusive license to reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, and publicly display such Content on that Network (including any RSS feeds and other distribution that is part of such Network) (a “Private Content License”).

Unless you expressly state alternative applicable license terms in connection with your Content submission, the Public Content License will apply by default to Public Content and the Private Content License will apply by default to Private Content.

We should also mention that you are responsible for making sure that you have all rights in the Content you post that are necessary for you to grant everyone either the Public Content License or the Private Content License.

Lastly, if a Network is deleted, the Content associated with that Network may also be deleted at the discretion of the Network Creator. We would encourage you to be sure you are comfortable with this possibility before contributing Content to a Network.

License from RCEURO
RCEURO grants to you a Creative Commons Attribution License to the Content made available by RCEURO for which RCEURO owns the copyrights. In the event of a conflict between the Creative Commons Attribution License and these Terms, these Terms will control. RCEURO does not grant you any rights to another User's Code or Content.

License to use the RCEURO Platform
During the term of these Terms, RCEURO grants you a limited, revocable license to use the software underlying and enabling the RCE Platform as required for your use of the Social Networks built on top of it, subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms.

Proprietary Rights
Content
You agree to comply with the license and restrictions applicable to each item of Content you post, copy, access, or use.
You agree that all the intellectual property in the RCEURO Platform, other than the Content you provide, is owned by RCEURO or the applicable User(s). Except as expressly permitted under these Terms, you agree not to:
a. Modify, distribute, or create derivative works based on the RCEURO Platform.
b. Run, rent, lease, loan, or sell access to the RCEURO Platform.
c. Decompile, reverse engineer, or copy the RCEURO Platform or any Network for which the source code is not provided to you or Code that is marked as Private Code; and
d. Reproduce or distribute any Private Content or Private Code outside the applicable Network.

Other trademarks, RCEURO Platform marks, and trade names that may appear on RCEURO are the property of their respective owners.

Accounts, Passwords, and Security
You must be a registered User to create Networks on the RCEURO Platform. Networks and their Network Creators, in turn, determine whether Users need to be registered with RCEURO to contribute Content in that Network. That is up to the discretion of the Network Creator. As a User, you are responsible for keeping your password secure. Names of Social Networks and RCEURO IDs are non-transferable. You will be solely responsible and liable for any activity that occurs under your RCEURO ID.

Content and Interaction
You agree to comply with the license and restrictions applicable to each item of Code or Content you post, copy, access, or use.
Content from other Users or advertisers is made available to you through Social Networks and the RCEURO Platform. Because RCEURO does not control such Content, you agree that RCEURO is not responsible for any such Content, including advertising and information about third party products or services.

Your interactions with other Users on the RCEURO Platform, including payment and delivery of goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and the User. Like with any web-based interaction, we suggest that you use caution and good judgment.
You agree that RCEURO is not responsible for any loss or damage incurred as the result of any such dealings or with respect to any other User's use or disclosure of your Personal Data (as defined in the Privacy Policy). If there is a dispute between you and any third party (including any User), RCEURO is under no obligation to become involved.
You release RCEURO, its officers, employees, agents and successors from claims, demands and damages of every kind or nature arising out of or related to: (i) any disputes with other Users, and/or (ii) the RCEURO Platform.

Premium Services
RCEURO may offer Premium Services on the RCEURO Platform. If you choose to sign up for a premium service, you agree to pay the applicable fees and abide by any additional requirements or rules associated with that premium service.

Support and Performance
RCEURO may from time to time provide documentation to assist Network Creators in creating and enhancing their Network(s). As a Network Creator, you are responsible for implementing and maintaining all support for your Network(s). To enable a great experience for all Users on the RCEURO Platform, you, as a Network Creator, must ensure your Network(s) don't unduly degrade the performance of the RCEURO Platform. If your Network(s) exceed the quotas and limitations set by RCEURO (e.g., API calls or bandwidth) or otherwise degrade performance of the RCEURO Platform or other services in any way, we may suspend your Network(s) at our sole discretion.

Acceptable Use and Conduct
You are solely responsible for your conduct, Networks and Content on the RCEURO Platform.
As a User of RCEURO's free service, you agree not to include any advertising for anything other than your Network, including ads served via an ad-server service like Google AdSense, in any Network, Code, or Content you provide on RCEURO. If you pay the applicable fees for the applicable premium service you may include third-party advertisements in your Network. However, RCEURO will have the option, which RCEURO may exercise on notice to you, to offer a comparable ad-server service and serve all advertisements on your Network(s).

You also agree not to post or make available any Code or Content for which you don't have sufficient rights to grant the licenses above. Among other things, this means that you may not include Code or Content from third parties that is subject to license terms that are incompatible with the licenses you grant under these Terms, such as GPL.

• “Stalk” or otherwise harass anyone
• Collect Personal Data about other Users for commercial or unlawful purposes
