The Services include ‘free’ Services available with the basic version of the App as well as ‘paid’ Services available that you may acquire on a time-limited subscription basis (currently monthly and annually). (Hereinafter the Term “App” shall mean to include the App and the Services provided through the App)

Acceptance of Terms

X-Rite makes the App available to you subject to these Terms. These Terms govern your access to and use of the App. Your access to and use of the App is conditioned on your acceptance of these Terms, which incorporate X-Rite’s Mobile App Privacy Policy.
When you access or use the App, you represent and warrant that you have read and understood these Terms, and acknowledge that this is a binding legal agreement between you and X-Rite. This agreement becomes effective immediately upon commencement of your use of the App. If you do not agree to the Terms, please discontinue all further use of the App.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms (including without limitation X-Rite’s Mobile App Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions of Sale and Warranty Policy) from time to time without notice to you. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically and to be aware of any modifications. The date of last modification (the “Effective Date”) preceded these Terms. Modifications are effective when posted, and your continued use of the App after the Effective Date constitutes your acceptance of and agreement to be bound by the Terms as modified.

Privacy

X-Rite may collect and use your information as set forth in our Mobile App Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. We make the following privacy disclosures with respect to the App.

Grant of Rights/Limited License

Pursuant to these Terms, X-Rite grants to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, and limited personal right and license to install and use the App for your personal, non-commercial purposes. This right and license is conditioned on your continued compliance with these Terms.

You may only use the App on a mobile device that you own or control and in accordance with any terms and conditions of the application store from which you may have acquired/downloaded the App. You may not rent, lease, lend, sell, transfer, redistribute or sublicense the App and, if you seek to sell or otherwise transfer a mobile device on which the App is installed, you must remove the App from such mobile device before completing such sale or transfer.

Your Content

You retain all rights and ownership of your content. 

You grant X-Rite a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sub-licensable, and transferrable license to use, host, store, copy, reproduce, publicly display, distribute, transmit, modify, publicly perform, adapt and translate any information or content that you generate or transmit using the App, including without limitation, data, images, information, communications, questions, comments or suggestions (collectively “Content”) as needed to operate and improve the App as well as for X-Rite and its affiliates’ lawful business use. This right and license also allows us to make Content available to third parties, and allows us and third parties to use the Content to provide you with customized services.

X-Rite will access, view, or listen to your Content in limited ways. For example, in order to operate and improve the App, we may need to access, view, or listen to your Content to (a) respond to support requests; (b) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, unlawful, or technical issues; and (c) enforce these Terms. 

Some Services in the App may provide features that allow you to share your Content with other users or to make it public. To ‘share’ means to email, post, transmit, upload, or otherwise make available (whether to X-Rite or other users) through your use of the App. Other users may use, copy, modify, or re-share your Content in many ways including but not limited to various social media platforms integrated with the App. Please consider carefully what you choose to share or make public as you are entirely responsible for the Content that you share. X-Rite does not monitor or control what others do with your Content. You are responsible for determining and notifying other users of the limitations that are placed on your Content and for applying the appropriate level of access to your Content.

We neither endorse nor assume any liability for the contents of any material generated or otherwise transmitted by users of the App. We generally do not pre-screen, monitor or edit Content that may be available on or through the App. We reserve the right to remove any Content that, in our judgment and at our sole discretion, does not comply with these Terms, or is otherwise harmful, objectionable or inaccurate. We are not responsible for any failure or delay in removing such Content. You hereby consent to such removal and waive any claim against us arising out of such removal of Content.
