Updated: October 11, 2019

Thank you for using FRCScout! We're happy you're here. Please read this Terms of Service agreement carefully before accessing or using FRCScout. Because it is such an important contract between us and our users, we have tried to make it as clear as possible

You are responsible for making sure that your use of the Service is in compliance with laws and any applicable regulations.

D. User-Generated Content

1. Responsibility for User-Generated Content

You may create or upload User-Generated Content while using the Service. You are solely responsible for the content of, and for any harm resulting from, any User-Generated Content that you post, upload, link to or otherwise make available via the Service, regardless of the form of that Content. We are not responsible for any public display or misuse of your User-Generated Content.

2. FRCScout may remove content

We do not pre-screen User-Generated Content, but we have the right (though not the obligation) to refuse or remove any User-Generated Content that, in our sole discretion, violates any FRCScout terms or policies.

3. Ownership of Content, Right to Post, and License Grants

You retain ownership of and responsibility for Your Content. If you're posting anything you did not create yourself or do not own the rights to, you agree that you are responsible for any Content you post; that you will only submit Content that you have the right to post; and that you will fully comply with any third party licenses relating to Content you post.

Because you retain ownership of and responsibility for Your Content, we need you to grant us - and other FRCScout Users - certain legal permissions. These license grants apply to Your Content. If you upload Content that already comes with a license granting FRCScout the permissions we need to run our Service, no additional license is required. You understand that you will not receive any payment for any of the rights granted. The licenses you grant to us will end when you remove Your Content from our servers.

4. License Grant to Us

We need the legal right to do things like host Your Content, publish it, and share it. You grant us and our legal successors the right to store, parse, and display Your Content, and make incidental copies as necessary to render the Website and provide the Service. This includes the right to do things like copy it to our database and make backups; show it to you and other users; parse it into a search index or otherwise analyze it on our servers; share it with other users; and perform it, in case Your Content is something like music or video.

This license does not grant FRCScout the right to sell Your Content or otherwise distribute or use it outside of our provision of the Service.

5. License Grant to Other Users

You retain all moral rights to Your Content that you upload, publish, or submit to any part of the Service, including the rights of integrity and attribution. However, you waive these rights and agree not to assert them against us, to enable us to reasonably exercise the rights, but not otherwise.

To the extent this agreement is not enforceable by applicable law, you grant FRCScout the rights we need to use Your Content without attribution and to make reasonable adaptations of Your Content as necessary to render the Website and provide the Service.

E. API Terms

No Abuse or Overuse of the API

Abuse or excessively frequent requests to FRCScout via the API may result in the temporary or permanent suspension of your Account's access to the API.
