1. Use of the app and site and rules relating to content

You warrant that you have the right, authority and capacity to enter into and be bound by the Terms and that by using Clikd you will not be violating any law or regulation of the country in which you are resident. You are solely responsible for your compliance with all applicable local laws and regulations.
You further warrant that you have not been convicted of, nor are subject to any court order relating to assault, violence, sexual misconduct or harassment.
What kind of content can I post on Clikd?
You are able to post all kinds of things on Clikd, including photographs, messages and other content (“Content”).
There are some rules about what is acceptable though, so when you are using Clikd you may not post or send any Content which:
1. contains expletives or language which could be deemed offensive or is likely to harass, upset, embarrass, alarm or annoy any other person;
2. is obscene, pornographic or otherwise may offend human dignity;
3. is abusive, insulting or threatening, or which promotes or encourages racism, sexism, hatred or bigotry;
4. encourages any illegal activity including, without limitation, terrorism, inciting racial hatred or the submission of which in itself constitutes committing a criminal offence;

7. involves the transmission of “junk” mail or “spam”;
8. contains any spy ware, adware, viruses, corrupt files, worm programmes or other malicious code designed to interrupt, damage or limit the functionality of or disrupt any software, hardware, telecommunications, networks, servers or other equipment, Trojan horse or any other material designed to damage, interfere with, wrongly intercept or expropriate any data or personal information whether from Clikd or otherwise;
9. itself, or the posting of which, infringes any third party’s rights (including, without limitation, intellectual property rights and privacy rights); or
10. shows another person which was created or distributed without that person’s consent.
Please use your common sense when picking the Content that you choose to post on or send via Clikd because you are solely responsible for, and bear all liability in relation to, such Content.
Are there any rules relating to personal information like my email address?
You may not display any personal contact or banking information on your individual profile page (“Profile”) whether in relation to you or any other person (for example, names, home addresses or postcodes, telephone numbers, email addresses, URLs, credit/debit card or other banking details). If you do choose to reveal any personal information about yourself to other users, whether via email or otherwise, it is at your own risk. We encourage you to use the same caution in disclosing details about yourself to third parties online as you would under any other circumstances.
What about other people’s personal information, can I use it?
You may only use other Clikd user’s personal information to the extent that your use of it matches Clikd’s purpose of allowing people to meet one another. You may not use other users’ information for commercial purposes, to spam, to harass, or to make unlawful threats. Clikd reserves the right to terminate your account if you misuse other users’ information.
Who can see the Content that I put on Clikd?
When you upload Content to Clikd it can be accessed and viewed by the general public. If you do not want such Content to be viewed by others, then you can opt to use the private folders and select the person to whom you wish to give access. If you still do not want such Content to be viewed by others, then you should not upload it to Clikd.
We reserve the right (without obligation) at our sole discretion and without giving you notice, to remove or edit, limit or block access to any Content that you upload or submit to Clikd without any incurring liability to you. We have no obligation to display any Content that you submit to Clikd, nor to check the accuracy or truthfulness of any Content submitted to Clikd, nor to monitor your use or the use of other users of Clikd.
2. Ownership of Content
Once I have uploaded Content on Clikd, do I still own it?
Yes (provided you are the rightful owner in the first place — please see our other rules regarding posting Content that doesn’t belong to you).
Please note though that by posting or sending Content on Clikd you represent and warrant to us that you have the right to do so, and automatically grant to us a non-exclusive, royalty free, perpetual, worldwide licence to use such Content in any way (including, without limitation, editing, copying, modifying, adapting, translating, reformatting, creating derivative works from, incorporating into other works, advertising, distributing and otherwise making available to the general public such Content, whether in whole or in part and in any format or medium currently known or developed in the future).
We may assign and/or sub-licence the above licence to our affiliates and successors without any further approval by you.
By submitting Content to Clikd you are warranting that you are the exclusive author and owner of that Content and you agree that you waive any and all moral rights relating to that Content (including, without limitation, the right to be identified as the author).
We have the right to disclose your identity to any third party who is claiming that any Content posted or uploaded by you to our app or site constitutes a violation of their intellectual property rights or of their right to privacy or any other law.
Who does the rest of the Content on Clikd belong to then?
Us! All text, graphics, user interfaces, trademarks, logos, sounds and artwork on Clikd are owned, controlled or licensed by us and are protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property law rights.
Can I use any of the Content that doesn’t belong to me?
Other than in relation to Content submitted by you to Clikd, you do not have any rights in relation to the Content on Clikd and you agree that you will not use any Content in any manner which may infringe any third party’s rights. Without limitation to the foregoing, this means that you agree that you will not copy, modify, adapt, distribute, publish or sell all or any part of the Clikd site or the Content contained on it (other than the Content submitted by you) to anyone else.
3. Paid for Services
What can I buy on Clikd?
Clikd offers you the opportunity to pay for certain services offered on the site. All of these premium services can be purchased after you register, and you may subscribe to the premium services for various lengths of time. Once you have paid for any premium services, they are non-refundable. You can change your Auto Top-up at anytime in your payment settings on your profile page. The pricing may vary due to a number of factors, such as (but not limited to) promotional offers, loyalty bonuses and other discounts that might apply to your age group.
How do I renew my premium services with Clikd?
Once you have requested a Clikd premium service, you authorise Clikd to charge your chosen payment method. If you want to cancel or change your payment method at any time, you can do so either via the payment settings option under your profile or by contacting your mobile service provider. If your chosen payment method is via your mobile service provider, then please check with them about their payment terms, as their payment terms will govern how payments to Clikd are made as well as how such payments may be changed or cancelled. Your subscription to Clikd’s premium services will automatically renew until you decide to cancel, and if you have enabled the auto top-up feature, your account will automatically be topped up until you decide to disable this feature.
4. Access to the app and site
Do you guarantee that Clikd will be up and running at all times?
Unfortunately we can’t guarantee that because sometimes we have to carry out maintenance to the app or site or they may be affected by a fault or circumstances which are outside our control, so Clikd is provided on an “as is” basis. No warranty is given about the quality, accuracy, functionality, availability or performance of Clikd and we reserve the right to suspend, withdraw, amend, modify or vary the service provided on Clikd without notice and without incurring any liability to you.
What about mobile access?
You are responsible for making all the necessary arrangements to ensure you can access Clikd (including, but not limited to Internet provider and mobile internet provider fees and, any other charges associated with such access). We shall not be held responsible for any reduced functionality you may encounter as result of or in connection with accessing Clikd through mobile services or any similar service currently known or developed in the future.
By accessing Clikd or agreeing to receive messages or notifications from Clikd through your mobile phone and/or any other connected media device, you accept that you may incur charges from your internet or mobile service provider. We shall not under any circumstances be liable for such charges.
5. Termination of use by us
My Profile has disappeared and I can’t log in. What’s going on?
Sometimes people forget about the Terms and post Content or act in a way while on Clikd which is not consistent with the purpose of the app or site. If we think that you may be one of those people, then we reserve the right at our sole discretion, at any time and without liability or the need to give you prior notice or to refund any unused services to:
1. suspend or revoke your registration (where applicable) and your right to access and/or use Clikd or submit any Content to Clikd; and
2. make use of any operational, technological, legal, or other means available to enforce the Terms (including without limitation blocking specific IP addresses).
We will try (but we are not obliged) to notify you if your access to Clikd and/or your Profile is to be or has been suspended or terminated.
6. Termination of use by you
I want to “unregister” myself from Clikd, how does that work?
If you have registered on Clikd, you can terminate your registration at any time by going to the ‘Settings’ control on Clikd when you are logged in and choosing the ‘delete profile’ link. We save your profile information in case you later decide to restore your account. Many users deactivate their accounts for temporary reasons and in doing so expect us to maintain their information until they return to Clikd. You will therefore be able to restore your account and your profile in its entirety within 30 days of de-activating it. Once your registration is terminated, we have the right to delete any related Content that you have submitted or uploaded on to Clikd. For further details, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
Content that you have uploaded to Clikd, other than your Profile (such as comments or email messages), may still appear on Clikd following termination of your registration.
7. Abuse/Complaints
Someone is not obeying the Terms, what can I do?
You can report any abuse or complain about Content on Clikd by contacting us via Feedback page, outlining the abuse and or complaint. You can also block or report user directly from the chat function, by clicking either of those options (accessed from the main chat page), choosing the reason for the complaint and providing us with any additional information you think fit.
We will always try our best to help resolve any issue that you may encounter with our service. If your complaint or dispute remains unresolved, however, you may be eligible to use the European Commission’s Online dispute resolution platform here.
8. Privacy Policy
Do you have guidelines in place about what you can do with my personal data?
We process information in accordance with our Privacy Policy which is incorporated into these Terms and Conditions of Use. Please read the terms of our Privacy policy prior to using Clikd. By using Clikd, you agree to such processing and you warrant that all data provided by you is true, correct and accurate.
9. Links
Are the links on the app anything to do with Clikd?
Clikd may contain links to other sites, resources and purchase opportunities provided by third parties. These links are provided to you for your information only. If you access these links you may be directed to third party sites. These third party sites will have their own terms of use and privacy policies, which may differ from the Terms. The display of links to third party sites does not constitute an endorsement by us of any of the third party content information, sites, or resources provided.
Please note that we have no control over the contents of any third party sites or resources, and we accept no responsibility for them, including (but not limited to) the third party site’s compliance with any applicable laws or regulations.
10. Disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability
I forgot the rules about conduct on here and now someone is threatening to sue me. Will your lawyers sort it out?
No. If you act in a way that upsets other users then you have to be responsible for the consequences. We expressly disclaim any and all responsibility and liability for your conduct or the conduct of any other user of Clikd, and expressly disclaim any liability for Content uploaded by you or by any other user.
However please note that nothing in the Terms limits or excludes our liability for:
1 death or personal injury caused by our proven negligence; or
2 any liability which cannot be limited or excluded by law.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Clikd expressly excludes:
1 all conditions, representations, warranties and other terms which might otherwise be implied by statute, common law or the law of equity; and
2 any liability incurred by you arising from use of Clikd, its services or these terms and conditions, including without limitation for any claims, charges, demands, damages, liabilities, losses or expenses of whatever nature and howsoever direct, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages (however arising including negligence), loss of use, loss of data, loss caused by a computer or electronic virus, loss of income or profit, loss of or damage to property, wasted management or office time, breach of contract or claims of third parties or other losses of any kind or character, even if Clikd has been advised of the possibility of such damages or losses, arising out of or in connection with the use of Clikd. This limitation on liability applies to, but is not limited to, the transmission of any disabling device or virus that may infect your equipment, failure or mechanical or electrical equipment or communication lines, telephone or other interconnect problems (e.g., you cannot access your internet service provider), unauthorized access, theft, bodily injury (other than caused by our negligence), property damage, operator errors, strikes or other labor problems or any act of god in connection with Clikd including, without limitation, any liability for loss of revenue or income, loss of profits or contracts, loss of business, loss of anticipated savings, loss of goodwill, loss of data, wasted management or office time and any other loss or damage of any kind, however arising and whether caused by tort (including, but not limited to, negligence), breach of contract or otherwise, even if foreseeable whether arising directly or indirectly.
11. Indemnity
If we are sued as a result of your use of Clikd then we have the right to defend or settle the relevant claim as we see fit. If we ask, you will co-operate fully and reasonably as required by us in the defence of any relevant claim.
You agree to hold harmless and indemnify us and our officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and licensors from and against any third party claims, damages (actual and/or consequential), actions, proceedings, demands, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable solicitor’s fees) suffered or reasonably incurred by us arising as a result of, or in connection with, your access to and use of Clikd, the uploading or submission of Content to Clikd by you or your conduct, other than in accordance with the Terms or any applicable law or regulation (“Claim”). Clikd retains the exclusive right to settle, compromise and pay any and all Claims or causes of action which are brought against us without your prior consent.
12. Miscellaneous
What about all of those standard clauses that you see at the end of most contracts?
Clikd has taken reasonable steps to ensure the currency, availability, correctness and completeness of the information contained on Clikd and provides that information on an “as is”, “as available” basis. Clikd does not give or make any warranty or representation of any kind about the information contained on Clikd, whether express or implied. Use of Clikd and the materials available on it is at your sole risk. Clikd cannot be held responsible for any loss arising from the transmission, use of data, or inaccurate Content posted by users. You are responsible for taking all necessary precautions to ensure that any material you may obtain from Clikd is free of viruses or other harmful components. You accept that Clikd will not be provided uninterrupted or error free, that defects may not be corrected or that Clikd, or the server that makes it available, are free of viruses or bugs, spyware, Trojan horses or any similar malicious software. Clikd is not responsible for any damage to your computer hardware, computer software, or other equipment or technology including, but without limitation damage from any security breach or from any virus, bugs, tampering, fraud, error, omission, interruption, defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer line or network failure or any other technical or other malfunction.
We reserve the right to modify, amend or change the Terms at any time (a “Change”). If we do this then the Changes will be posted on this page and we will indicate the effective date of the updates at the bottom of the Terms. In certain circumstances, we may send an email to you notifying you of any Change. You should regularly check this page to take notice of any Changes.
If you do not accept any Change to the Terms, you should stop using Clikd immediately. Your continued use of Clikd following any Change constitutes your acceptance of the Change and you will be legally bound by the new updated Terms.
If, for any reason, any of the Terms are declared to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by a court of a competent jurisdiction, then to the extent that term is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, it shall be severed and deleted from the Terms and the remainder of the Terms shall survive, remain in full force and effect and continue to be binding and enforceable.
The Terms set out the entire agreement and understanding between us and you in relation to your use of Clikd and supersedes all previous agreements, representations and arrangements between us (either oral or written). Nothing in this clause shall limit or exclude any liability for fraudulent misrepresentation.
No failure or delay by us in exercising any right, power or privilege under the Terms shall operate as a waiver of such right or acceptance of any variation of the Terms and nor shall any single or partial exercise by either party of any right, power or privilege preclude any further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
Nothing in the Terms shall confer or purport to confer on any other third party, any benefit or the right to enforce any term of the Terms and the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 shall not apply to the Terms.
