Statement of Rights and Responsibilities
This Statement of Rights and Responsibilities ("Statement," "Terms," or "SRR") derives from the iGlobal Network (iGN) Principles, and is our terms of service that governs our relationship with users and others who interact with ICAN Global Network. By using or accessing iGN, you agree to this Statement, as updated from time to time in accordance with Section 14 below. Additionally, you will find resources at the end of this document that help you understand how iGN works.
1. Privacy
Your privacy is very important to us. We designed our Data Use Policy to make important disclosures about how you can use iGN to share with others and how we collect and can use your content and information. We encourage you to read the Data Use Policy, and to use it to help you make informed decisions.
2. Sharing Your Content and Information
You own all of the content and information you post on iGN, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. In addition:
1. For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with iGN (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
2. When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).
3. When you use an application, the application may ask for your permission to access your content and information as well as content and information that others have shared with you. We require applications to respect your privacy, and your agreement with that application will control how the application can use, store, and transfer that content and information. (To learn more about Platform, including how you can control what information other people may share with applications, read our Data Use Policy and Platform Page.)
4. When you publish content or information using the Public setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of iGN, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture).
5. We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about iGN, but you understand that we may use them without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).
3. Safety
We do our best to keep iGN safe, but we cannot guarantee it. We need your help to keep iGN safe, which includes the following commitments by you:
1. You will not post unauthorized commercial communications (such as spam) on iGN
2. You will not collect users' content or information, or otherwise access iGN, using automated means (such as harvesting bots, robots, spiders, or scrapers) without our prior permission.
3. You will not engage in unlawful multi-level marketing, such as a pyramid scheme, on iGN
4. You will not upload viruses or other malicious code.
5. You will not solicit login information or access an account belonging to someone else.
6. You will not bully, intimidate, or harass any user.
7. You will not post content that: is hate speech, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence.
8. You will not develop or operate a third-party application containing alcohol-related, dating or other mature content (including advertisements) without appropriate age-based restrictions.
9. You will follow our Promotions Guidelines and all applicable laws if you publicize or offer any contest, giveaway, or sweepstakes (“promotion”) on iGN.
10. You will not use iGN to do anything unlawful, misleading, malicious, or discriminatory.
11. You will not do anything that could disable, overburden, or impair the proper working or appearance of iGN, such as a denial of service attack or interference with page rendering or other iGN functionality.
12. You will not facilitate or encourage any violations of this Statement or our policies.
4. Registration and Account Security
iGN users provide their real names and information, and we need your help to keep it that way. Here are some commitments you make to us relating to registering and maintaining the security of your account:
1. You will not provide any false personal information on iGN, or create an account for anyone other than yourself without permission.
2. You will not create more than one personal account.
3. If we disable your account, you will not create another one without our permission.
4. You will not use your personal timeline primarily for your own commercial gain, and will use a iGN Page for such purposes.
5. You will not use iGN if you are under 18.
6. You will not use iGN if you are a convicted sex offender.
7. You will keep your contact information accurate and up-to-date.
8. You will not share your password (or in the case of developers, your secret key), let anyone else access your account, or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your account.
9. You will not transfer your account (including any Page or application you administer) to anyone without first getting our written permission.
10. If you select a username or similar identifier for your account or Page, we reserve the right to remove or reclaim it if we believe it is appropriate (such as when a trademark owner complains about a username that does not closely relate to a user's actual name).
5. Protecting Other People's Rights
We respect other people's rights, and expect you to do the same.
1. You will not post content or take any action on iGN that infringes or violates someone else's rights or otherwise violates the law.
2. We can remove any content or information you post on iGN if we believe that it violates this Statement or our policies.
3. We provide you with tools to help you protect your intellectual property rights. To learn more, visit our How to Report Claims of Intellectual Property Infringement page.
4. If we remove your content for infringing someone else's copyright, and you believe we removed it by mistake, we will provide you with an opportunity to appeal.
5. If you repeatedly infringe other people's intellectual property rights, we will disable your account when appropriate.
6. You will not use our copyrights or trademarks (including iGN, the iGN and F Logos, FB, Face, Poke, Book and Wall), or any confusingly similar marks, except as expressly permitted by our Brand Usage Guidelines or with our prior written permission.
7. If you collect information from users, you will: obtain their consent, make it clear you (and not iGN) are the one collecting their information, and post a privacy policy explaining what information you collect and how you will use it.
8. You will not post anyone's identification documents or sensitive financial information on iGN.
9. You will not tag users or send email invitations to non-users without their consent. iGN offers social reporting tools to enable users to provide feedback about tagging.

2. In the event you change or deactivate your mobile telephone number, you will update your account information on iGN within 48 hours to ensure that your messages are not sent to the person who acquires your old number.
3. You provide consent and all rights necessary to enable users to sync (including through an application) their devices with any information that is visible to them on iGN.
7. Payments
If you make a payment on iGN or use iGN Credits, you agree to our Payments Terms.
8. Special Provisions Applicable to Social Plugins
If you include our Social Plugins, such as the Share or Like buttons on your website, the following additional terms apply to you:
1. We give you permission to use iGN's Social Plugins so that users can post links or content from your website on iGN.
2. You give us permission to use and allow others to use such links and content on iGN.
3. You will not place a Social Plugin on any page containing content that would violate this Statement if posted on iGN.
9. Special Provisions Applicable to Pages

We will notify you by email or at the next time you attempt to access your account. You may also delete your account or disable your application at any time.
12. Disputes
1. You will resolve any claim, cause of action or dispute (claim) you have with us arising out of or relating to this Statement or iGN exclusively in a state or federal court located in Santa Clara County. The laws of the United Kingdom will govern this Statement, as well as any claim that might arise between you and us, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in the United Kingdom.
2. If anyone brings a claim against us related to your actions, content or information on iGN, you will indemnify and hold us harmless from and against all damages, losses, and expenses of any kind (including reasonable legal fees and costs) related to such claim. Although we provide rules for user conduct, we do not control or direct users' actions on iGN and are not responsible for the content or information users transmit or share on iGN. We are not responsible for any offensive, inappropriate, obscene, unlawful or otherwise objectionable content or information you may encounter on iGN. We are not responsible for the conduct, whether online or offline, or any user of iGN
3. We try to keep iGN up, bug-free, and safe, but you use it at your own risk. We are providing iGN as is without any express or implied warranties including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee that iGN will always be safe, secure or error-free or that iGN will always function without disruptions, delays or imperfections. iGN is not responsible for the actions, content, information, or data of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. We will not be liable to you for any lost profits or other consequential, special, indirect, or incidental damages arising out of or in connection with this statement or iGN, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our aggregate liability arising out of this statement or iGN will not exceed the greater of one hundred pounds (£100) or the amount you have paid us in the past twelve months. Applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In such cases, iGN's liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
