Reservation

Any right not expressly granted to you in this Agreement remains the right of Mentor Mi or the respective rights holders. This means, for example, that using the Service does not give you ownership of any intellectual property rights in the Content you access (including any branding used on or displayed in the Service).

 

Changes to the Service

Mentor Mi is constantly changing and improving the Service. We may also need to alter or discontinue the Service, or any part of it, in order to make performance or security improvements, change functionality and features, make changes to comply with law, or prevent illegal activities on or abuse of our systems. We will always consider and balance the impact of such changes on the use of the Service. Whenever reasonably possible, we will provide notice when we discontinue or make material changes to our Service that will have an adverse impact on the use of our Service. However, there will be times when we need to make such changes without notice, such as where we need to take action to improve the security and operability of our Service, prevent abuse, or meet our legal requirements.

Your Content and Conduct

Uploading Content

If you have a Mentor Mi account, you may be able to upload Content to the Service. You may use your Content to promote your business or artistic enterprise. If you choose to upload Content, you must not submit to the Service any Content that does not comply with this Agreement or the law. For example, the Content you submit must not include third-party intellectual property (such as copyrighted material) unless you have permission from that party or are otherwise legally entitled to do so. You are legally responsible for the Content you submit to the Service. We may use automated systems that analyze your Content to help detect infringement and abuse, such as spam, malware, and illegal content.

Rights you Grant

You retain all of your ownership rights in your Content. In short, what belongs to you stays yours. However, we do require you to grant certain rights to Mentor Mi and other users of the Service, as described below.

Licence to Mentor Mi

By providing Content to the Service, you grant to Mentor Mi a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable licence to use that Content (including to reproduce, distribute, modify, display and perform it) for the purpose of operating, promoting, and improving the Service.

Licence to Other Users

You also grant each other user of the Service a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to access your Content through the Service, and to use that Content (including to reproduce, distribute, modify, display, and perform it) only as enabled by a feature of the Service.

 

Duration of Licence

The licences granted by you continue until the Content is removed as described below. Once removed, the licences will terminate, except where the operation of the Service, use of Content permitted before your removal, or the law requires otherwise.  For example, removal of Content by you does not require Mentor Mi to: (a) recall Content that is being used by other users within any limited offline viewing functionality of the Service; or (b) delete copies we reasonably need to keep for legal purposes.

 

Removal of Content By Mentor Mi

If we reasonably believe that any Content is in breach of this Agreement or may cause harm to Mentor Mi, our users, or third parties, we may remove or take down some or all of such Content. We will notify you with the reason for our action unless we reasonably believe that to do so: (a) would violate the law or the direction of a legal enforcement authority, or would otherwise risk legal liability for Mentor Mi or our Affiliates; (b) would compromise an investigation or the integrity or operation of the Service; or (c) would cause harm to any user, other third party, Mentor Mi or our Affiliates.

Copyright Protection

We provide information to help copyright holders manage their intellectual property on Mentor Mi. If you believe your copyright has been infringed on the Service, please contact us

 

Account Suspension and Termination

Terminations by You

You may stop using the Service at any time.

Terminations and Suspensions by Mentor Mi

Mentor Mi may suspend or terminate your access, your Mentor Mi account, or your Mentor Mi account’s access to all or part of the Service if: (a) you materially or repeatedly breach this Agreement; (b) we are required to do so to comply with a legal requirement or a court order; or (c) we reasonably believe there has been conduct that creates liability or harm to any user, other third party, Mentor Mi or our Affiliates.

Mentor Mi may terminate your access, or your Mentor Mi account’s access to all or part of the Service if Mentor Mi reasonably believes that its provision of the Service to you is no longer commercially viable.

Notice for Termination or Suspension

We will notify you with the reason for termination or suspension by Mentor Mi unless we reasonably believe that to do so: (a) would violate the law or the direction of a legal enforcement authority, or would otherwise risk legal liability for Mentor Mi or our Affiliates; (b) would compromise an investigation or the integrity or operation of the Service; or (c) would cause harm to any user, other third party, Mentor Mi or our Affiliates. Where Mentor Mi is terminating your access for Service Changes, where reasonably possible, you will be provided with sufficient time to export your Content from the Service.

Effect of Account Suspension or Termination

If your Mentor Mi account is terminated or your Mentor Mi account’s access to the Service is restricted, you may continue using certain aspects of the Service (such as viewing only) without an account, and this Agreement will continue to apply to such use. If you believe your Mentor Mi account has been terminated in error, you can contact us.

 

About Software in our Service

Downloadable Software

When the Service requires or includes downloadable software (such as the Mentor Mi application), you give permission for that software to update automatically on your device once a new version or feature is available, subject to your device settings. Unless that software is governed by additional terms which provide a licence, Mentor Mi gives you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable and non-exclusive licence to use the software provided to you by Mentor Mi as part of the Service. This licence is for the sole purpose of enabling you to use and enjoy the benefit of the Service as provided by Mentor Mi, in the manner permitted by this Agreement. You are not allowed to copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the software, or to reverse-engineer or attempt to extract the source code of that software, unless laws prohibit these restrictions or you have Mentor Mi’s written permission.

Open Source

Some software used in our Service may be offered under an open source licence. There may be provisions in an open source licence that expressly override some of these terms.  If so, we will make that open source licence available to you.
