This license continues even if you stop using our Sites.
Why do we need these rights? The following situations are a few examples of where we would need these rights:
- In order to receive your uploaded images, we need the right to store and transmit the data.
- We need the rights to store, transmit, process, modify the User Content in order to turn your data into different forms of maps and models.
- If you would like to see the resulting maps/models and share them with people you have selected using FlytBase, we need the rights to transmit, display and distribute your User Content.
- To test, modify, enhance and improve the Sites, and/or for diagnostic purposes, whether requested by you or not.
FlytBase will maintain commercially reasonable security measures to protect User Content in its possession or control, or in the possession or control of its personnel, from unauthorized access, use, copying or disclosure.
If you choose to share materials, solutions and/or ideas with others using the Sites, you agree to irrevocably waive (and cause to be waived) any claims and assertions of moral rights or attribution with respect to your User Content.
In the absence of a written agreement with FlytBase to the contrary, you agree that you will not submit to FlytBase any information or ideas that you consider to be confidential or proprietary.
FlytBase’s privacy policies explain how we treat your personal data and protect your privacy when you use our Sites. By using our Sites, you agree that FlytBase can use such data in accordance with our privacy policies.

These Terms provide that all disputes between you and FlytBase will be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION.

Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator and not a judge or jury, and your claims cannot be brought as a class action.
Jurisdiction
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word including means including without limitation. If any provision of this Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Assignment
This Agreement, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without FlytBase’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.

About these Terms
We have full right to modify these Terms or any additional terms that apply to the Sites, for example, reflect changes to the law or changes to our Sites. You should look at the Terms regularly.
These Terms control the relationship between FlytBase and you. They do not create any third party beneficiary rights. If there is a conflict between these Terms and any additional terms, the additional terms will control for that conflict.
If you do not comply with these Terms, and we don’t take action right away, this doesn’t mean that we are giving up any rights that we may have (such as taking action in the future).
