Terms & Conditions

Please read these terms of use carefully (“Terms”). These Terms govern and apply to your access and use of www.rapporr.com and Rapporr’s services available via Rapporr’s site and Rapporr’s device apps (collectively, the “Service”). By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound all of the terms and conditions described in these Terms. If you do not agree to all of these terms and conditions, do not use our Service.

We reserve the right to amend this Agreement at any time and without notice. If we do this, we will post the amended Agreement on this page and indicate the date the Agreement was last revised. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Use. If you do not agree to any of these terms or any future Terms of Use, do not use or access (or continue to access) the Service. This Agreement applies to all visitors, users, and others who access the Service (“Users”).

Use of the Service

Rapporr provides a place for people to communicate with others in their work, school or community (each, an “Organization”) in real time.

Rapporr grants you permission to use the Service as set forth in this Agreement, provided that: (i) you will not copy, distribute, or disclose any part of the Service in any medium; (ii) you will not alter or modify any part of the Service other than as may be reasonably necessary to use the Service for its intended purpose; and (iii) you will otherwise comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

You will need to register with Rapporr and create a “User” account. Your account gives you access to the services and functionality that we may establish and maintain from time to time and in our sole discretion.

You may never use another User’s account without permission. When creating your account, you must provide accurate and complete information. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account, and you must keep your account credentials secure. You must notify Rapporr immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account. Although Rapporr will not be liable for your losses caused by any unauthorized use of your account, you shall be liable for the losses of Rapporr or others due to such unauthorized use.

You may use your Account Settings to control your User Profile. By providing Rapporr your email address you consent to our using the email address to send you Service-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. You may use your Notifications Settings to opt out of many Service-related communications. We may also use your email address to send you other messages, including changes to features of the Service and special offers. If you do not want to receive such email messages, you may opt out by changing the preferences in your Notifications Settings. Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages regarding updates, improvements, or offers. Certain Organizations have negotiated further modifications to the emails we may send you.

You agree not to use or launch any automated system, including without limitation, “robots”, “spiders”, “offline readers”, etc., that accesses the Service in a manner that sends more request messages to the Rapporr servers than a human can reasonably produce in the same period of time by using a conventional on-line web browser. You agree not to collect or harvest any personally identifiable information, including account names, from the Service nor to use the communication systems provided by the Service for any commercial solicitation purposes. You agree not to use any portion of the Service as a destination linked from any unsolicited bulk messages or unsolicited commercial messages.

Rapporr may permanently or temporarily terminate, suspend, or otherwise refuse to permit your access to the Service without notice and liability, if, in Rapporr’s sole determination, you violate any of the Agreement, including the following prohibited actions: (i) attempting to interfere with, compromise the system integrity or security or decipher any transmissions to or from the servers running the Service; (ii) taking any action that imposes, or may impose at our sole discretion an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; (iii) uploading invalid data, viruses, worms, or other software agents through the Service; (iv) impersonating another person or otherwise misrepresenting your affiliation with a person or entity, conducting fraud, hiding or attempting to hide your identity; (v) interfering with the proper working of the Service; or, (vi) bypassing the measures we may use to prevent or restrict access to the Service, including, but not limited to, registering for the Service with a non-organizational email address. Upon termination for any reason, you continue to be bound by the Use of the Service terms of this Agreement.

Rapporr reserves the right to offer alternative and/or additional Services to certain administrative users, including administrators of Organizations, that may not be offered to general Users. You acknowledge that Rapporr may charge a fee for the use of any Services, provided that Rapporr notifies you of any such fee before you incur it. Subject to the foregoing, you agree to pay any fees incurred by you. In the event that you have elected to receive additional services for a fee, and you fail to pay such fee within thirty (30) days, then in addition to all other remedies available to Rapporr, Rapporr may immediately cease providing all such additional services.

If you learn that a User is not authorized to be a member of an Organization or is otherwise violating this Agreement, we encourage you to notify us. You agree you will not accuse any User of being unauthorized or of violating this Agreement unless you have actual knowledge.

User Content

Some areas of the Service may allow Users to post feedback, comments, questions, data, and other information (“User Content”). You are solely responsible for your User Content that you upload, publish, display, link to or otherwise make available (hereinafter, “post”) on the Service, and you agree that we are only acting as a passive conduit for your online distribution and publication of your User Content. Rapporr will not review, share, distribute, or reference any such User Content except as provided herein or in our Privacy Policy or as may be required by law. Absent an Organization Administrator (as defined below), all such User Content is owned by the User who posted it to the Service, although each User acknowledges and consents that upon the introduction of an Administrator into that User’s Organization, all related User Content will automatically become the property of the company, educational institution, or governmental entity to which the Organization belongs without any notice to Users of that Organization. If an Organization has an Administrator, all such User Content is the property of the company, educational institution, or governmental entity to which the Organization belongs (including all User Content posted by Users that belong to the Organization and all User Content created prior to the existence of the Organization Administrator). In either case, Rapporr does not have, nor does it claim, any ownership rights in any User Content. In addition, you should note that if you are no longer an eligible member of an organization (e.g., you cease to be employed by the relevant company), your access to all User Content you uploaded may be terminated, regardless of whether the Organization has a Organization Administrator. Once a User is removed from an Organization, the content of that User remains on the Organization and is the sole property of the company, educational institution, or governmental entity which administers that Organization.

You agree not to post User Content that: (i) may create a risk of harm, loss, physical or mental injury, emotional distress, death, disability, disfigurement, or physical or mental illness to you, to any other person, or to any animal; (ii) may create a risk of any other loss or damage to any person or property; (iii) may constitute or contribute to a crime or tort;(iv) contains any information or content that is unlawful, harmful, abusive, racially or ethnically offensive, defamatory, infringing, invasive of personal privacy or publicity rights, harassing, humiliating to other people (publicly or otherwise), libelous, threatening, or otherwise objectionable; (v) contains any information or content that is illegal; (vi) contains any information or content that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships; or (vii) contains any information or content that you know is not correct and current. You agree that any User Content that you post does not and will not violate third-party rights of any kind, including without limitation any Intellectual Property Rights (as defined below), rights of publicity and privacy. You understand that publishing your User Content on the Service is not a substitute for registering it with the U.S. Copyright Office, the Writer’s Guild of America, or any other rights organization.

For the purposes of this Agreement, “Intellectual Property Rights” means all patent rights, copyright rights, mask work rights, moral rights, rights of publicity, trademark, trade dress and service mark rights, goodwill, trade secret rights and other intellectual property rights as may now exist or hereafter come into existence, and all applications therefore and registrations, renewals and extensions thereof, under the laws of any state, country, territory or other jurisdiction.

Rapporr takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any User Content that you or any other Users or third parties post or send over the Service. You understand and agree that any loss or damage of any kind that occurs as a result of the use of any User Content that you send, upload, download, stream, post, transmit, display, or otherwise make available or access through your use of the Service, is solely your responsibility. Rapporr is not responsible for any public display or misuse of your User Content. You understand and acknowledge that you may be exposed to User Content that is inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable, and you agree that Rapporr shall not be liable for any damages you allege to incur as a result of such User Content.

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Rapporr Users. Were serve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Users.

Organisation Administration

Each Organization may have one or more individuals who are responsible for overseeing the use of, and monitoring the content posted to, such Organization (the “Administrator”). Organization may exist on the Service absent an Administrator; in such case Users are responsible for conducting themselves in accordance with this Agreement.

From time to time, Users may be asked to confirm their account on the Organization via an email message containing a hyperlink to the User’s email address or via a mobile number with a PIN number. If such account is not reconfirmed, the account is removed. Once a User is removed from an Organization, the content of that User remains on the Service and is the sole property of the company, school, or entity which administers that Organization.

Users should follow their particular organization’s policies, guidelines, and procedures concerning the Content they post to the Service. Users may delete their own User Content from the Organization, so long as they are a Member of that Organization. Administrators may delete the User Content of one or more Users in their Organization.

Text Message (SMS) Use

Users may send messages and invitations to their Contacts via the short message service (“SMS”) on their mobile device. Standard text messaging rates and other charges from a User’s carrier may apply.

Rapporr does not warrant that the text messaging service will be uninterrupted or error free. We shall not be liable for any delay in performing or failure to perform any obligation hereunder by circumstances beyond our reasonable control including (without limitation) any technical problems beyond the control of Rapporr such as (for example) defects, congestion or failures of capacity or otherwise in the public data or telephone or mobile carrier Organization or caused by atmospheric interference, your mobile device being turned off for an extended period of time so that messages are not retained, or your being unable to obtain mobile Organization coverage.

License Grant

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you are hereby granted a non-exclusive, limited, personal license to use the Service. Rapporr reserves all rights not expressly granted herein in the Service and the Rapporr Content (as defined below). Unless Rapporr has agreed otherwise with respect to an Organization, Rapporr may terminate this license at any time for any reason or no reason.

Our Proprietary Rights

Except for your User Content, the Service and its materials, including, without limitation, software, images, text, graphics, illustrations, logos, patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, photographs, audio, videos and music (the “Rapporr Content”), and all Intellectual Property Rights related thereto, are the exclusive property of Rapporr and its licensors.

By submitting any Idea, you agree that your disclosure is gratuitous, unsolicited and without restriction and will not place Rapporr under any fiduciary or other obligation, that we are free to disclose the Ideas on a non-confidential basis to anyone or otherwise use the Ideas without any additional compensation to you.
