Legal & Privacy

Favy Terms of Service

Thanks for installing and using Favy. Please take a moment to read these terms. We've summarized them in plain English right up front. Our lawyers told us to put the rest in, but we made sure that they are as understandable as possible, there's nothing scary in there...

In Plain English:

Clauses 1-3 and 18-19 cover what this agreement is about, how it works, how it might change in the future, and how it relates to any other agreements we have with you. The lawyers love that sort of stuff...

Clauses 4-5 allow us to continue developing the product and releasing new versions, and allow you to start and stop using it at any time (of course! But we hope you won't want to stop)

Clauses 6-7 ask you to keep your password private, and suggest you check out our Privacy Policy, which we've also made simple and easy to understand if you visit http://www.favy.com/help/legal-and-privavy#privacy

Clauses 8-11 talk about the content of the service - we allow you to continue to own the bits you already own, and you agree we can own the content that we've created. But either way we give each other the right to use everything we have to provide a better service to you

Clause 12 asks you to agree to receive product updates when they come out - we promise they'll be worth it!

Clause 13 is about your right to end this agreement and your relationship with Favy. We really hope it doesn't come to that, but if it does, we'd love to know why (http://www.favy.com/uninstall)

Clauses 14-15 talk about what we can and can't be held responsible for, so that you know your rights

Clauses 16-17 just say that we will provide (what we believe are useful) advertisements, and that we will link to sites where we don't control the content

That's the summary, but do read the terms below!

1. Your relationship with Favy

1.1 Your use of Favy's products, software, services and web sites (referred to collectively as the "Services" in this document and excluding any services provided to you by Favy under a separate written agreement) is subject to the terms of a legal agreement between you and Favy. "Favy" means Favy Limited, whose UK registered office is at Suite 299, 2 Lansdowne Row, London W1J 6HL. This document explains how the agreement is made up, and sets out some of the terms of that agreement.

1.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing with Favy, your agreement with Favy will always include, at a minimum, the terms and conditions set out in this document. These are referred to below as the "Universal Terms".

1.3 Your agreement with Favy will also include the terms of any Legal Notices applicable to the Services, in addition to the Universal Terms. All of these are referred to below as the "Additional Terms". Where Additional Terms apply to a Service, these will be accessible for you to read either within, or through your use of, that Service.

1.4 The Universal Terms, together with the Additional Terms, form a legally binding agreement between you and Favy in relation to your use of the Services. It is important that you take the time to read them carefully. Collectively, this legal agreement is referred to below as the "Terms".

1.5 If there is any contradiction between what the Additional Terms say and what the Universal Terms say, then the Additional Terms shall take precedence in relation to that Service.

2.3 You may not use the Services and may not accept the Terms if (a) you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with Favy, or (b) you are a person barred from receiving the Services under the laws of the country in which you are resident or from which you use the Services.

2.4 Before you continue, you should print off or save a local copy of the Universal Terms for your records.

3.2 If there is any contradiction between what the English language version of the Terms says and what a translation says, then the English language version shall take precedence.

19.4 You agree that if Favy does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in the Terms (or which Favy has the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of Favy's rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to Favy.

20.5 If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide on this matter, rules that any provision of these Terms is invalid, then that provision will be removed from the Terms without affecting the rest of the Terms. The remaining provisions of the Terms will continue to be valid and enforceable.

19.6 You acknowledge and agree that each member of the group of companies of which Favy is the parent shall be third party beneficiaries to the Terms and that such other companies shall be entitled to directly enforce, and rely upon, any provision of the Terms which confers a benefit on (or rights in favor of) them.

19.7 The Terms, and your relationship with Favy under the Terms, shall be governed by the laws of the United Kingdom without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

Personal Information You Provide to Us

Favy does not collect any Personal Information about you (such as your name, email address, age, preferences, etc.) except when you specifically and knowingly provide such information. The Personal Information we gather from you helps us learn about our members and potential members of our community and the users of the Toolbar. We collect Personal Information that you submit to us voluntarily through our Service and/or the Toolbar. The types of Personal Information we collect are:

All the information in your Favy Profile, including Personal Information, that you select to be publicly displayed will be public information and any Favy Member will be able to view it. Your username and general physical location will always be publicly displayed.

Personal Information Collected Via Technology

As you navigate our Website or use the Favy Services, certain information may also be collected passively, including your Internet protocol address, browser type, operating system, time of day, general physical location, and browser language. Favy uses this information only in aggregate to determine the composition of our userbase, and the load on our servers, so that we can serve you better. Favy will use geographic information regarding your location to display your general location (e.g., city and state). You may choose to display a different location by editing this information in your Member Profile. This information is associated with a user identifier for the purpose of improving your experience, for example to recommend websites that correspond to your profile and interests, including the websites of our advertisers.

If you are using or logged into the Favy Services, or are browsing with the Toolbar, the Toolbar will transmit to Favy's servers information regarding which pages you view. Unless we have your explicit permission, we will not store this data.

Periodically, the Toolbar contacts our servers to see if you are running the most current version of the Toolbar. If necessary, we will automatically provide you with the latest update to the Toolbar (Internet Explorer version only).

An "Internet protocol address" or "IP Address" is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. In some cases your IP Address stays the same from browser session to browser session; but if you use a consumer internet access provider, your IP Address probably varies from session to session. We track IP Addresses solely in conjunction with session cookies to analyze our web page flow.

"Cookies" are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer's hard drive while you are viewing a website. Cookies can identify you as a unique user of the Website. Upon your first use of the Toolbar or site, Favy may send a Cookie to your computer. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on the Website. Persistent Cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions. If you choose to disable Cookies, some areas of the Website may not work properly.

Favy uses Cookies to store your preferences. Favy will not disclose its Cookies to third parties except as required by a valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Be aware, however, that the Toolbar may not function properly and you may not be able to utilize all of the functionality of the Services if you refuse cookies. We may use information collected about you to deliver to you websites, advertisements, or other content we think may be of interest to you.

We may also contract with third parties in order to promote the products and/or services of these third parties by placing ads on the Website. We may use information that was posted by members of the Favy Services to tailor the display of ads to the interest of the members of our community. Clicking on such ads will direct you to the website of the third party and the third party may also use Cookies in connection with these ads. Please be advised that we are not responsible for these other websites or any content on these other websites and that this Privacy Statement does not govern your visit of these other websites.

Personal Information We Receive From Other Sources

We may receive Personal Information about you from other sources like telephone or fax, or from third parties that provide services for us in connection with the Favy Services. We may add this information to the information we have already collected from you via our Website or through the Toolbar in order to improve our community and our Services.

Use of Information

In general, Personal Information you submit to us is used by us either to sign you up for our community, respond to requests that you make, to improve our community and Services and to better tailor the features, performance and support of the Services and the Toolbar, and to offer you additional information, opportunities, and functionality. We may also use your Personal Information to provide you with electronic newsletters or promotional e-mails, should you request to receive such communications from us.

Information you provide, with the exception of your email address, will also be displayed on your profile page which is viewable by other users of Favy. Please be aware that if you enter any Personal Information into publicly available sections of the Favy Services, this information will be displayed to anyone who has access to these sections. These publicly available sections of the Favy Services include, without limitation, posts and comments of other Favy Members.

We may create Anonymous Information records from Personal Information by excluding information (such as your name) that make the information personally identifiable to you. We may use this Anonymous Information to analyze usage patterns so that we may enhance our community and Services. We reserve the right to use and disclose Anonymous Information to third parties in our discretion.

If we delete your account at your request, we will delete all Personal Information from the account, but we retain the right to maintain non-personally identifiable information about the account (e.g. date created, date terminated, etc.). Also, if we terminate your account as allowed under the Terms of Service, we may choose to maintain all data collected from your use of the Favy Services, including Personal Information.

Ratings and Feedback

When you click on the rating buttons in the Toolbar if and where they exist, you are explicitly sending information about your preferences for the site currently displayed in your browser. Favy uses this information in order to improve its recommendations to you, and to others.

If you provide feedback to us, we may use and disclose such feedback for any purpose, provided we will not associate such feedback with your Personal Information. We will collect any information contained in such communication and will treat the Personal Information in such communication in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Disclosure of Personal Information

We do not trade, rent, or share your Personal Information with third parties, unless it is available on your profile page, without your express written consent, except as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

If you invite a third party to join Favy through the Favy email service, we will disclose your email address to the invitee. Also, if you share a website with a friend through the Favy service, we will disclose your email address to the recipient.

We may provide your Personal Information to third party service providers who work on behalf of or with us to provide some of the services and features of the Favy community and Services and to help us communicate with the members of our community. However, these service providers do not have any independent right to share this information (expect pursuant to a legal requirement such as a subpoena or warrant).
