It's really important to us that you understand the Terms of Use, but we know that most of you never bother to read those long-winded, sterile legal documents. We want to be transparent about this stuff, so we are putting together this short introduction that we hope will be much more digestible than the stuff that follows (which we recommend you read anyway, because that's the document by which you will be bound!). The full version can be found here: vyclone.com/terms-and-conditions
First things first... Vyclone (that's us) will provide you (that's you) with access to our app. You can download it, stick it on your device and then make your own movies and also edit movies others have posted. (Yes, that means that other people can access and edit your movies too.)
We need you to give us some information about you. We're not the CIA or the KGB, and we won't be doing anything sinister with that data, promise. We don't like the idea of people lying about themselves to set up accounts. We'd also quite like it if you didn't impersonate other people. If you suspect someone else is impersonating you then let us know.
Sorry Kiddos! If you're under 13, you're awesome for reading all this, but this site and app aren't for you. We do not collect information from children under 13. Please come back when you're 13.
On Facebook? Us too (like us www.facebook.com/vyclone). We've built Vyclone to allow you to log in with your Facebook account – one less password to remember. But please don't go blurting your password out to anyone else & it's your responsibility to keep your password safe. We take privacy very seriously and we recommend you do too!
The Vyclone app will automatically collect information about your location wherever (and we mean wherever) you use the app to shoot a Vyclone movie. Let's contextualize. Say you happen to be sitting in the Oval Office. First, nice job. But then, think about that. Do you want us to know that you are there? Do you want us to know what you are up to? Doubt it. So don't use the app, wait until you get to the ball game or the Shins gig that evening, yeah. What happens in Vegas... you hear us?
Say you shoot a movie and it's awesome but you want to keep it for yourself and your buddies. No problem. Choose what content you want to share on the Vyclone website and whether you want it to be publicly shared, viewable and editable. Who said we weren't nice? When you choose to submit your content just decide if you want it to be public or private. If you choose neither though, then we'll make it public.
By choosing to post the content to the Vyclone website through the app, you are granting pretty much everyone else the right to use, edit and view your content. It's 21st Century sharing, and we hope you like that. If you don't, then don't hit POST to submit your content to the Vyclone website through the app. Got it? Yes? Super.
We appreciate people who respect the rights of others, especially when using the Vyclone app and the Vyclone website. Don't use Vyclone to violate laws, rules or regulations, including, infringing copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights of others, or violating the privacy or publicity rights of others. And this bit is really important... when you post a movie with people other than your good self in it, make sure you get their consent before you make it publicly available.
Please don't violate the Terms of Use. We can and will close your account, which we'll both be sad about because Vyclone is all kinds of awesome. And while we hope there aren't any disputes between you and us, sometimes it just cannot be avoided. In those minor cases, we agree to resolve them through binding arbitration. We suggest you read section 15 below that describes this process as it could affect your rights.
Thank you for reading this bit. We appreciate it. Now go read the bit that follows, accept the Terms of Use and have fun with Vyclone!
