Platform Terms
Quikkly provides its Software and Services under licence pursuant to these terms which must be agreed to in whole. All Developers (i.e. companies using our Software or Services as provided by the Quikkly Platform) must agree to:
- Give people control
- Protect data
- Encourage proper use
- Follow the law
Please take note of the definitions section herein. For example, the term SDK covers both SDK and API usage of the Quikkly Platform.
In addition there are things you should know about how we intend for Quikkly to be used - these are documented below.
A) Give people control
Provide a publicly available and easily accessible privacy policy that explains what data you are collecting and how you will use that data.
You may use Quikkly Account Information in accordance with your privacy policy and other Quikkly policies. All other data may only be used outside your app after you have obtained explicit user consent.
Link to your privacy policy in any app marketplace that allows you to.
Comply with your privacy policy.
Delete all of a person’s data you have received from us if any (including friend data) if that person asks you to, unless you are required to keep it by law, regulation, or separate agreement with us. You may keep aggregated data only if no information identifying a specific person could be inferred or created from it.
Obtain adequate consent from people before using any Quikkly technology that allows us to collect and process data about them, including for example, our SDKs. When you use such technology, disclose to people in your privacy policy that you are enabling us to collect and process data about them.
Obtain consent from people before you give us information that you independently collected from them.
If you are tracking a person's activity, provide an opt-out from that tracking.
Provide meaningful customer support for your app, and make it easy for people to contact you.
B) Protect data
If you cache data you receive from us, use it to improve your app’s user experience and keep it up to date.
Don’t proxy, request or collect Quikkly usernames or passwords.
Keep private your secret key and access tokens. You can share them with an agent acting to operate your app if they sign a confidentiality agreement.
If you use any partner services, make them sign a contract to protect any information you obtained from us, limit their use of that information, and keep it confidential.
Keep Quikkly user IDs, if relevant, within your control. Contract with any providers who help you build or run your app to ensure that they keep the user IDs secure and confidential and comply with our policies.
Don't sell, license, or purchase any data obtained from us or our services.
Don't transfer any data that you receive from us (including anonymous, aggregate, or derived data) to any ad network, data broker or other advertising or monetization-related service.
Don't put Quikkly data in a search engine or directory, or include web search functionality on Quikkly.
If you are acquired by or merge with a third party, you can continue to use our data only within your app.
If you stop using Platform, promptly delete all user data you have received from us (absent explicit consent from people). You can keep Account Information if you have presented your privacy policy within your app.
C) Encourage proper use
Respect the limits we've placed on Quikkly functionality.
If you want to use our logos or brand, follow the guidelines in the Quikkly License section of the Developer Portal. Ad networks and data brokers must get our written permission before using our Platform, logos, or trademarks.
Include attribution of Quikkly as a provider of third party software in your app and website.
Don't sell, transfer or sublicense our code, SDKs, APIs, or tools to anyone.
Only use our SDKs to develop and distribute apps for use with the Quikkly Platform. You may also distribute any code libraries or sample source code included in the SDKs for inclusion in such apps.
Don’t modify, translate, create derivative works of, or reverse engineer any SDK or its components.
Be honest about your relationship with Quikkly when talking to the press or users. Get approval from us before issuing any formal press release or blog post mentioning Quikkly.
D) Follow the law
You are responsible for restricting access to your content in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, including geo-filtering or age-gating access where required.
Don’t provide or promote content that infringes upon the rights of any third party.
Ensure that you own or secure all rights necessary to display, distribute and deliver all content in your app.
Satisfy all licensing, reporting and payout obligations to third parties in connection with your app.
If your app contains content submitted or provided by third parties:
In the United States, you must take all steps required to fall within the applicable safe harbors of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act including designating an agent to receive notices of claimed infringement, instituting a repeat infringer termination policy and implementing a notice and takedown process.
In other countries, you must comply with local copyright laws and implement an appropriate notice and takedown process for when you receive a notice of claimed infringement.
Don’t knowingly share information with us that you have collected from children under the age of 13.
Comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the jurisdiction where your app is available. Do not expose Quikkly or people who use Quikkly to harm or legal liability as determined by us in our sole discretion.
If applicable, comply with the US Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) and similar legislation in other jurisdictions and obtain any opt-in consent necessary to share data with Quikkly.
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from and against all damages, losses, and expenses of any kind (including reasonable legal fees and costs) related to any claim against us related to your service, actions, content or information.

You may select one of the current billing options when placing an order for the Services. A variety of billing options may be made available via website from time to time. When you choose a billing option, you must adhere to the terms of that plan. If you wish to change plans, please do so via your account settings or contact Quikkly to discuss available options. Details of current plans will be displayed on Quikkly's web site.
ALL PLANS:
You agree that regardless of plan selected, you will:
agree to respect stated usage limitations (e.g. limits on number of installs, limitations to a single territory or region, a specific brand or number of brands, and so on);
give us the right to renew your subscription automatically until you cancel the Service;
have the right to cancel the subscription such that your subscription and use of The Services expire at the end of the most recently paid-for monthly period, upon which event The Services shall cease to function as expected;
agree that no refunds are given;
agree that all Quikkly Code generation and scanning occurs locally in your app;
agree to pick the right plan by selecting the plan which matches the size of your app’s installed base (i.e. downloads to date); and, If you are using Quikkly in more than one app (i.e. more than one API key), the number of installs shall be the total of the installed base across your apps;
agree that, in the event your user base or installs increases during a given period above the threshold for your current Quikkly Plan, you will upgrade to a larger plan before the next monthly period starts; and
agree that we reserve the right to ensure you’re on the right plan by verifying the size of your installed base at any time and/or checking your usage of Quikkly; and that we have the right to contact you in the event of discrepancies; and that we reserve the right to cancel your use of Quikkly if abuse is discovered.
The Services offered may vary from time to time depending on the type of plan or billing option you choose. Limitations shall be stated clearly during the purchase process and prior to payment. Your purchase may be subject to foreign exchange fees or differences in prices based on location (e.g. exchange rates).
You may change your payment method to those available. We may enable other forms of payment by making them available. These other forms of payment may be subject to additional terms which you may have to accept prior using the additional forms of payment. You authorize us to store and continue billing your payment method (e.g. credit card) even after it has expired, to avoid interruptions in your service (e.g. subscriptions) and to facilitate easy payment for new services.
QUIKKLY FREE:

have the right to use Quikkly free of charge within the stated limits;
agree that, as soon as the stated limit is hit, you will upgrade to a paid-for Quikkly Plan or cancel the subscription; and

DELINQUENT AND NON-PAYMENTS
Delinquent payments may bear interest at the rate of one-and-one-half per cent per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) from the payment due date until paid in full. You will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by us in collecting such delinquent amounts, except where such delinquent amounts are due to our billing inaccuracies.

TAXES
You are responsible for any Taxes, and you will pay us for the Services without any reduction for Taxes.

If you are required by law to withhold any Taxes from your payments to us, you must provide us with an official tax receipt or other appropriate documentation to support such payments.
If you require a purchase order number on your invoice, you will inform us and we will include such purchase order number on invoices following receipt.
