Terms of service

This Terms of Use Agreement (this "Agreement") describes the terms and conditions on which Weefish offers you access to the website located at www.Weefish.com ("Weefish Site"), and to the Internet ratings service provided by Weefish through the Weefish Site ("Services"). You should read these terms carefully, since they apply to you if you decide to access the Weefish Site, whether as a registered user ("Registered User") or as a non-registered user just browsing the Weefish Site ("Weefish Visitor"). These terms are important and we have done our best to make them readable.

BY COMPLETING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH IT, YOU SHOULD LEAVE THE Weefish SITE AND DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SERVICES IMMEDIATELY. IF YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ENTITY TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, IN WHICH CASE THE TERMS "YOU" OR "YOUR" WILL REFER TO SUCH ENTITY.

Weefish MAY MODIFY THIS AGREEMENT FROM TIME TO TIME. FOR Weefish VISITORS, THIS AGREEMENT APPLIES ONLY TO YOUR CURRENT VISIT AND THE FRUITS THEREOF — PLEASE CHECK THIS AGREEMENT AGAIN ON YOUR NEXT VISIT FOR ANY RECENT MATERIAL CHANGES.

1. Description of Services

We make available to you on the Weefish Site a wide variety of resources, including, but not limited to, software applications ("Software"), audience reports of millions of websites and other media properties ("Reports"), as well as additional information, content and tools that we hope may be of interest to you. The Reports and such additional information, content and tools will be collectively referred to in this Agreement as "Weefish Content". Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features or functionalities made available on the Weefish Site are subject to this Agreement.

Please do not choose as a login name an email address that is indecent or offensive, or otherwise violates this Agreement or any applicable laws or regulations.
You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Weefish Site and you agree not to disclose it to any third party. You hereby take responsibility for all actions taken under your account by you or any third parties. You will notify Weefish immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

3. Reports

Weefish hereby grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable license to use, copy, and distribute the Reports, subject to the following restrictions:
(a) you must insert in a clear and conspicuous way in any document incorporating the Reports the following proprietary notice: "Source: Weefish. www.Weefish.com";
(b) you must not sell or trade the Reports, or charge any amount to make the Reports available to third parties as part of a service;

(e) you must not quantitatively aggregate or combine information in the Reports with information derived from other sources (but offering a comparison of the information in the Reports with information derived from other sources is permissible);
(f) you must not misrepresent your site report or usage in connection with the Services;
(g) you must not use the information in the Reports in any way that competes with Weefish, and

(i) use the Services to track or collect personally identifiable information of Internet users, or
