Date of Last Revision: July 16, 2015
Statement of Rights and Responsibilities
This Statement of Rights and Responsibilities ("Statement," "Terms," or "SRR") derives from the MyiList Principles, and is our terms of service that governs our relationship with users and others who interact with MyiList, as well as MyiList brands, products and services, which we call the “MyiList Services” or “Services”. By using or accessing the MyiList Services, you agree to this Statement, as updated from time to time in accordance with Section 8 below. Additionally, you will find resources at the end of this document that help you understand how MyiList works.
Because MyiList provides a wide range of Services, we may ask you to review and accept supplemental terms that apply to your interaction with a specific app, product, or service. To the extent those supplemental terms conflict with this SRR, the supplemental terms associated with the app, product, or service govern with respect to your use of such app, product or service to the extent of the conflict.
1. Privacy
Your privacy is very important to us. We designed our Data Policy to make important disclosures about how you can use MyiList to share with others and how we collect and can use your content and information. We encourage you to read the Data Policy, and to use it to help you make informed decisions.
2. Sharing Your Content and Information
While you own all of the content and information you post on MyiList, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. You accept that some information, like your username and photo (if supplied) will be publicly available to everyone. In addition:
- For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos, you specifically give us the following permission: you grant us a royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with MyiList (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account.
- When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).
- When you use the Public setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of MyiList, to access and use content or information you've shared, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture).
- We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about MyiList, but you understand that we may use your feedback or suggestions without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).
3. Safety
We do our best to keep MyiList safe, but we cannot guarantee it. We need your help to keep MyiList safe, which includes the following commitments by you:
- You will not post unauthorized commercial communications (such as spam) on MyiList.
- You will not collect users' content or information, or otherwise access MyiList, using automated means (such as harvesting bots, robots, spiders, or scrapers).
- You will not upload viruses or other malicious code.
- You will not solicit login information or access an account belonging to someone else.
- You will not bully, intimidate, or harass any user.
- You will not post content that: is hate speech, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence.
- You will not use MyiList to do anything unlawful, misleading, malicious, or discriminatory.
- You will not do anything that could disable, overburden, or impair the proper working or appearance of MyiList, such as a denial of service attack or interference with page rendering or other MyiList functionality.
- You will not facilitate or encourage any violations of this Statement or our policies.
4. Registration and Account Security
Here are some commitments you make to us relating to registering and maintaining the security of your account:

- You will not use MyiList if you are under 13.
- You will keep your contact information accurate and up-to-date.
- You will not share your password, let anyone else access your account, or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your account.
- If you select a username or similar identifier for your account, we reserve the right to remove or reclaim it if we believe it is appropriate (such as when a trademark owner complains about a username that does not closely relate to a user's actual name).
5. Protecting Other People's Rights
We respect other people's rights, and expect you to do the same.
- You will not post content or take any action on MyiList that infringes or violates someone else's rights or otherwise violates the law.

- We will not give your content or information to advertisers.
7. Special Provisions Applicable to Software

We will notify you by email or at the next time you attempt to access your account. You may also delete your account or disable your application at any time. In all such cases, this Statement shall terminate, but the following provisions will still apply: 2.2, 3-5, and 9-13.
