Revised February 3rd, 2020
This Datylon Acceptable Use Policy (the “Agreement”) is between you and Datylon BV (“Datylon”). If you are agreeing to this Agreement not as an individual but on behalf of your company, then “Customer” or “you” means your company, and you are binding your company to this Agreement. Datylon may modify this Agreement from time to time.
The Datylon Acceptable Use Policy forms a legally binding agreement between you and Datylon in relation to your use of the Services. It is important that you take the time to read them carefully.
By clicking on the “I agree” (or similar button) that is presented to you at the time of your order, or by using or accessing Datylon products or websites, you indicate your assent to be bound by this Agreement.
Here at Datylon, our goal is to provide you and other users an enjoyably interaction with our products and services. To do this, we need to keep our products and services running smoothly, quickly, and without distraction. For this to happen, we need help from you, our users. We need you not to misuse or abuse our products and services.
To describe exactly what we mean by “misuse” or “abuse” – and help us identify such transgressions, and react accordingly – we’ve created this Acceptable Use Policy. Under this policy, we reserve the right to remove content that is inconsistent with the spirit of the guidelines, even if it’s something that is not forbidden by the letter of the policy. In other words, if you do something that isn’t listed here verbatim, but it looks or smells like something listed here, we may still remove it.
You’ll see the word “Services” a lot throughout this page. That refers to all websites owned or operated by Datylon as well as any hosted services operated by Datylon.
Use your judgment, and let’s be kind to each other so we can keep creating great things.
In this Agreement, the term “Content” means: (i) any information, data, data set, text, software, code, scripts, music, sound, photos, graphics, videos, messages, tags, charts, maps, graphics, interactive features, or other materials that you post, upload, share, submit, or otherwise provide in any manner to the Services and (ii) any other materials, content, or data you provide to Datylon or use with the Services.
