Grading Day Terms of Service

Thanks for using Grading Day! These terms of service (“Terms”) cover your use and access to our services, client software and websites (“Services”).

Your Stuff & Your Permissions
When you use our Services, you provide us with your name, email id, and content (“Your Stuff”). Your Stuff is yours. These Terms don’t give us any rights to Your Stuff except for the limited rights that enable us to offer the Services.
We need your permission to do things like hosting Your Stuff, backing it up, and sharing it when you ask us to. These and other features may require our systems to access, store and scan Your Stuff. You give us permission to do those things, and this permission extends to our affiliates and trusted third parties we work with.
Your Responsibilities
You’re responsible for your conduct and Your Stuff. Content in the Services may be protected by others’ intellectual property rights. Please don’t copy, upload, download or share content unless you have the right to do so.
We may review your conduct and content for compliance with these Terms. With that said, we have no obligation to do so. We aren’t responsible for the content people post and share via the Services.
Please safeguard your password to the Services, make sure that others don’t have access to it, and keep your account information current.
Finally, our Services are not intended for and may not be used by people under the age of 18. By using our Services, you are representing to us that you’re over 18.

Software
Some of our Services allow you to download client software (“Software”) which may update automatically. So long as you comply with these Terms, we give you a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable license to use the Software, solely to access the Services. To the extent any component of the Software may be offered under an open source license, we’ll make that license available to you and the provisions of that license may expressly override some of these Terms. Unless the following restrictions are prohibited by law, you agree not to reverse engineer or decompile the Services, attempt to do so, or assist anyone in doing so.
Beta Services
We sometimes release products and features that we are still testing and evaluating. Those Services have been marked beta, preview, early access, or evaluation (or with words or phrases with similar meanings) and may not be as reliable as 50 Caliber Mobile’s other services, so please keep that in mind.
Our Stuff
The Services are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. These Terms don’t grant you any right, title or interest in the Services, others’ content in the Services, Grading Day trademarks, logos and other brand features. We welcome feedback, but note that we may use comments or suggestions without any obligation to you.
Copyright
We respect the intellectual property of others and ask that you do too. We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement if they comply with the law, and such notices should be reported. We reserve the right to delete or disable content alleged to be infringing and terminate accounts of repeat infringers.
Paid Accounts
Billing. We’ll automatically bill you from the date you convert to a Paid Account and on each periodic renewal until cancellation. You’re responsible for all applicable taxes, and we’ll charge tax when required to do so.
No Refunds. You may cancel your Grading Day Paid Account at any time but you won’t be issued a refund unless it’s legally required.
Downgrades. Your Paid Account will remain in effect until it’s cancelled or terminated under these Terms. If you don’t pay for your Paid Account on time, we reserve the right to suspend it.
Changes. We may change the fees in effect but will give you advance notice of these changes via a message to the email address associated with your account.
Termination
You’re free to stop using our Services at any time. We also reserve the right to suspend or end the Services at any time at our discretion and without notice. For example, we may suspend or terminate your use of the Services if you’re not complying with these Terms, or use the Services in a manner that would cause us legal liability, disrupt the Services or disrupt others’ use of the Services. Except for Paid Accounts, we reserve the right to terminate and delete your account if you haven’t accessed our Services for 3 consecutive months. We’ll of course provide you with notice via the email address associated with your account before we do so.
Services “As-Is”
We strive to provide great services, but there are certain things that we can’t guarantee. To the fullest extent permitted by law, 50 Caliber Mobile Inc. and its affiliates, suppliers and distributors make no warranties, either express or implied, about the services. The services are provided “as is.” we also disclaim any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Some places don’t allow the disclaimers in this paragraph, so they may not apply to you.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, except for any liability for, Grading Day or its affiliates’ fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or gross negligence, in no event will, Grading Day, its affiliates, suppliers or distributors be liable for:
(a) any indirect, special, incidental, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, or
(b) any loss of use, data, business, or profits, regardless of legal theory.
This will be regardless of whether or not 50 Caliber Mobile Inc. or any of its affiliates has been warned of the possibility of such damages, and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose.
Additionally, 50 Caliber Mobile Inc., its affiliates, suppliers and distributors will not be liable for aggregate liability for all claims relating to the services for more than the greater of $20 or the amounts paid by you to 50 Caliber Mobile Inc. for the past 12 months of the services in question.
Some places don’t allow the types of limitations in this paragraph, so they may not apply to you.

Waiver, Severability & Assignment
50 Caliber Mobile Inc. failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later.

You may not assign any of your rights under these Terms, and any such attempt will be void. 50 Caliber Mobile Inc. may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the Services.
Modifications
We may revise these Terms from time to time, and will always post the most current version on our website.

By continuing to use or access the Services after the revisions come into effect, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms.
