OPSWAT, Inc. (“OPSWAT”) welcomes you to Filterbit . OPSWAT provides its Filterbit service (“Service”) to you subject to the following Terms of Service ("TOS"), which may be updated by us from time to time without notice to you. You can review the most current version of the TOS at any time at www.filterbit.com/terms.cgi.
Filterbit provides you with a free web-based service to upload files (“Files”) for scanning by and obtaining scan results from the antivirus engines of multiple vendors. You also understand and agree that the Service may include advertisements and that these advertisements are necessary for Filterbit to continue to provide the Service. You also understand and agree that the Service may include certain communications from OPSWAT, such as service announcements, administrative messages and the Metascan Newsletter. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augments or enhances the current Service shall be subject to the TOS. You understand and agree that the Service is provided "AS-IS" and that OPSWAT assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to (i) scan; (ii) correctly identify, or; (ii) store or retain any Files provided by you. You are responsible for obtaining access to the Service, and that access may involve third-party fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime charges). You are responsible for those fees, including those fees associated with the display or delivery of advertisements. You understand that the technical processing and transmission of the Service, including Content, may involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices.
You acknowledge that in using the Service to upload and scan Files, you will be causing communications to be sent through OPSWAT computer networks, portions of which are located in California and other locations in the United States and portions of which are located abroad. As a result, and also as a result of OPSWAT network architecture and business practices and the nature of electronic communications, even communications that seem to be intrastate in nature can result in the transmission of interstate communications regardless of where you are physically located at the time of transmission. Accordingly, by agreeing to this Terms of Service, you acknowledge that use of the service results in interstate data transmissions.
Recognizing the global nature of the Internet, you agree to comply with all local rules regarding online conduct and acceptable Files. Specifically, you agree to comply with all applicable laws regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the United States or the country in which you reside.
OPSWAT does not claim ownership of Files you submit. However, with respect to Files you submit, you grant OPSWAT the following worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable and fully sub-licensable license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and publicly display such Content (in whole or in part) and to incorporate such Content into other works in any format or medium now known or later developed.
By submitting ideas, suggestions, documents, and/or proposals ("Contributions") to the Service through its suggestion or feedback web pages, you acknowledge and agree that: (a) your Contributions do not contain confidential or proprietary information; (b) OPSWAT is not under any obligation of confidentiality, express or implied, with respect to the Contributions; (c) OPSWAT shall be entitled to use or disclose (or choose not to use or disclose) such Contributions for any purpose, in any way, in any media worldwide; (d) OPSWAT may have something similar to the Contributions already under consideration or in development; (e) your Contributions automatically become the property of OPSWAT without any obligation of OPSWAT to you; and (f) you are not entitled to any compensation or reimbursement of any kind from OPSWAT under any circumstances.
You agree to indemnify and hold OPSWAT and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, employees, partners and licensors harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of Files you submit, post, transmit or otherwise make available to and through the Service, your use of the Service, your connection to the Service, your violation of the TOS, or your violation of any rights of another.
You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, trade, resell or exploit for any commercial purposes, any portion of the Service, use of the Service, or access to the Service.
OPSWAT reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that OPSWAT shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.
Your correspondence or business dealings with, or participation in promotions of, advertisers found on or through the Service, including payment and delivery of related goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such advertiser. You agree that OPSWAT shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings or as the result of the presence of such advertisers on the Service.
The Service may provide, or third parties may provide, links to other World Wide Web sites or resources.
