UPDENTITY™ USER AGREEMENT
YOU ARE FORMING A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT. PLEASE READ THIS USER AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS SITE OR THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY UPDENTITY.
A. INTRODUCTION
1. Purpose.
The mission of Updentity and Updentity.com (collectively, “Updentity”) is to allow its users, with ease and simplicity, to optimize the value of their contacts by protecting against the loss of their valuable contact information and to keep their contact information accurate, streamlined and up to date. To achieve our objective, we make Updentity software (the “Software”) and the Updentity service (the “Service”) available through our website and a mobile application.
2. Formation of Our Agreement.
In this Agreement, the words “you” and “your” refer to the registered user of the Updentity website, Software or Service. The words “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Updentity and Bashpole Software, Inc., an Indiana corporation (the owner, operator and provider of the Updentity website, Software and Service) (“Bashpole”). The word “website” refers to Updentity.com.
In the off-line world, one way two people or parties confirm that an agreement exists between them is to sign a piece of paper that contains the words of that agreement. In the online, virtual environment, the parties to an agreement cannot sign a physical piece of paper and must confirm the existence of the agreement between them in a different way. With respect to this User Agreement, your use of the Service is an action that represents your assent to and agreement with this User Agreement the same as if you were signing a physical piece of paper setting forth this User Agreement. We are relying upon you entering into this User Agreement in permitting you to access this web site and use the Software and the Service. By accessing this web site and using the Software and the Service, you confirm and manifest your agreement with us to be bound by this User Agreement. If you do not agree to this User Agreement, then do not use this web site, the Software or the Service because doing so means you agree to this User Agreement.
You agree that by clicking the “I Agree” button or registering on Updentity, or by using the Software or Service, including our mobile application, you are entering into a legally binding agreement with Bashpole Software, Inc., 541 S. 27th Street Philadelphia, PA 19146, based on the terms of this Updentity User Agreement and the Updentity Privacy Policy, , which is hereby incorporated by reference (collectively referred to as this “Agreement”) and become an Updentity user (“User”).
If you are using Updentity on behalf of a company or other legal entity, such entity may have a separate agreement with us, but you are nevertheless individually bound by this Agreement. If you do not want to enter into this Agreement and become a User, do not click “I Agree” and do not access, view, download or otherwise use any Updentity webpage, the Software or the Service. By becoming a User you acknowledge that you have read and understood the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that you agree to be bound by all of its provisions.
