CONTENT SUBMISSIONS

ShapeRace allows you and other users to post, link, store, share and otherwise make available certain information, images, videos, text and/or other content (“Content”). You are responsible for the Content that you post to the Service, including its legality, reliability, and appropriateness. By posting Content to the Service, you grant us the right and license to use, modify, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, and distribute such Content on and through the Service. You agree that this license includes the right for us to make your Content available to other users of the Service, who may also use your Content subject to these Terms. You retain any and all of your rights to any Content you submit, post or display on or through the Service and you are responsible for protecting those rights.

You can remove Content that you posted by specifically deleting it. In certain instances, however, some Content (such as posts or comments you make) may not be completely removed and copies of your Content may continue to exist on the Service and/or elsewhere. We are not responsible or liable for the removal or deletion of (or the failure to remove or delete) any Content on the Service.
You represent and warrant that: (i) the Content is yours (you own it) or you have the right to use it and grant us the rights and license as provided in these Terms, and (ii) the posting of your Content on or through the Service does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights or any other rights of any person.

We ask that you respect our on-line community and other users when posting Content and using the Service. When submitting Content to or otherwise using the Service, you agree not to:

submit material that violates a third party’s proprietary rights, including privacy and publicity rights, or that otherwise violates any applicable law;
publish falsehoods or misrepresentations that could damage us, our users or any third party;
publish any private information of someone, like their address, phone number, email address, and similar information without their permission;
submit material that is unlawful, obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening, pornographic, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, violate any law, or is otherwise inappropriate;
post advertisements;
impersonate another person or represent yourself as affiliated with us, our staff or other industry professionals;
harvest user names, addresses, or email addresses for any purpose.

This list is an example and is not intended to be complete or exclusive. We don’t have an obligation to monitor your access to or use of the Service or to review or edit any Content, but we have the right to do so for the purpose of operating the Service, to ensure your compliance with these Terms, or to comply with applicable law or the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency or other governmental body. We reserve the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Content, that we consider, in our sole discretion, to be in violation of these Terms or otherwise harmful to the Service.

TRANSACTIONS

The Service may include the ability for Users to incentivize their exercise programs and/or purchase other goods and services (collectively, Products) from ShapeRace, or from Site Affiliates or other third parties. Each User agrees to strictly comply with and be bound by all requirements (including without limitation, any payment requirement or restriction on copying, redistributing or reselling any Product) that may be specified in respect of the purchase or sale of any Product (Transactions). ShapeRace is only responsible for Products and corresponding Transactions where ShapeRace provides the Products (Direct Products) to the User (Direct Transactions), and has no liability for Products or corresponding Transactions where any Site Affiliate or other third party provides the Products (Indirect Products) to the User (Indirect Transactions).

As a result of its limited role as an intermediary in Indirect Transactions, ShapeRace has no control over the validity, quality, risk or legality of any Indirect Product or the terms and conditions of any Indirect Transaction. Therefore, each User agrees, in connection with any use of the Service related to any Indirect Transaction and any Indirect Product: (a) to release ShapeRace (and its licensors and suppliers) from any and all claims, demands, damages and liabilities, of any type and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such use of the Service by such User (including any disputes arising therefrom); and (b) to attempt to settle any disputes directly with the counter-party in any Indirect Transaction.

WAGERS

Subject to the terms and conditions of its then current Wager Policy (which will be available at http://shaperace.com/legal/wagers), ShapeRace offers Users the ability to incentivize their exercise programs by establishing separate contracts with ShapeRace (Wagers). Depending on whether or not the User complies with his or her commitments made through the Wager, and subject to the other terms and conditions of the Wager Policy, the User may be obligated to pay certain service fees to ShapeRace or, subject to the terms and conditions of its then current Rewards Policy (which will be available at http://shaperace.com/legal/wagers), the User may be eligible to receive rewards from ShapeRace.

FEES AND PAYMENTS

Except as expressly provided otherwise in the Terms of Service, ShapeRace and each User is solely responsible for all of its costs and expenses related to the Service (including without limitation, the costs and expenses incurred by User in performing any Wager).

At this time, Users may access the Site, download Apps and use the Service without charge; except, however, Users that enter into Wagers are obligated by the payment terms required by the Wager. In the future, ShapeRace may decide to charge for downloading Apps or accessing certain other features of the Service (or to change the price charged for such features), in which case Users will be notified of that change in accordance with the section about Changes. In that event, should User elect to download such Apps or access or subscribe to such features, User hereby agrees to pay all applicable fees, in the amounts, at the times and subject to the other payment terms described on the Site. Such fees may be specified on a recurring basis (e.g., subscription fees), non-recurring basis (e.g., one-time fees) or episodic basis (e.g., fees due upon occurrence of certain events).

The fee to consummate any Transaction and receive the corresponding Product will be established by ShapeRace (in the case of Direct Transactions, including Wagers) or by the Site Affiliate or other third party (in the case of Indirect Transactions). User hereby agrees to pay ShapeRace (or the Site Affiliate or other third party, as applicable) all fees arising out of each Transaction he or she enters into, in the amounts, at the times and subject to the other payment terms specified for such Transaction.

Unless specified otherwise, all amounts payable hereunder shall be paid when due in specified currency, in immediately available funds by credit card, electronic funds transfer from a bank account or charge to a mobile telephone account, in full without set- off, counterclaim or deduction. Any amount not paid when due shall bear a late payment charge until paid at the rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is less. If any payment is past due, ShapeRace (or the Site Affiliate or other third party, as applicable) shall have the right to take whatever action it deems appropriate (including without limitation, suspending or terminating User's ability to access, use and/or benefit from the Service, Product or Transaction).

User agrees to reimburse ShapeRace for all reasonable costs (including attorneys' fees) incurred in collecting payments. All payments to ShapeRace (or the Site Affiliate or other third party, as applicable) are exclusive of federal, state, local and foreign taxes, duties, tariffs, levies, withholdings and similar assessments (including without limitation, sales taxes, use taxes and value added taxes), and User agrees to bear and be liable for the payment of all such charges (excluding taxes based upon the payee's net income).
