Terms of Use

Welcome to www.modev.com, www.(affiliate-subdomain).modev.com, (the “Sites”) owned and operated by MoDevNetwork, LLC (“MoDevNetwork,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We provide services and forums to assist our users, such as yourself (“You” or “Your”), with their [presentations of new ideas, technology, product or strategy through Modev’s uniquely powered mobile applications and sponsored forums, hackathons and other events], as well as other related services (collectively, the “Services”). The following terms and conditions (the “Terms of Use”) form a binding agreement between You and us. Please review the following terms carefully. Each time you access the Site or use the Services, You are agreeing to be bound by these terms, whether You are a “Visitor” (which means that You simply browse the Site), or You are a “Registered User” (which means that You have registered with the Site or Services and established an account with MoDevNetwork (Your “Account”)). If You do not agree to all of these terms, we are unwilling to grant You access to the Site or Services, and You must cease access to the Site and Services immediately. In addition, certain areas of the Site or Services may be subject to additional terms of use, that we make available for your review or otherwise linked to that portion of the Site or Services to which such additional terms apply. By using such areas, or any part thereof, You agree to be bound by the additional terms of use applicable to such areas. In the event that any of the additional terms of use governing such area conflict with these terms, the additional terms will control.

1. USERS. You promise that all information you provide to us is true, accurate, current and complete, and you agree to maintain and promptly update such information to keep it true, accurate, current and complete.

You may not transfer or share Your User ID, password or Account information (collectively, the “Account Information”) with any third parties, and You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Your Account Information. You acknowledge and agree that we rely on User IDs to know whether users accessing the Site and using our Services are authorized to do so. If someone accesses our Site or Services using a User ID that we’ve issued to You, we will rely on that User ID and will assume that it is really You or Your representative who is accessing the Site and Services. You are solely responsible for any and all use of Your User ID and Account and all activities that occur under or in connection with Your User ID or Account. You agree to be responsible for any act or omission of any users that access the Site or Services under Your User ID or Account that, if undertaken by You, would be deemed a violation of these Terms of Use, and that such act or omission shall be deemed a violation of these Terms of Use by You. Please notify us immediately if You become aware that Your User ID or Account is being used without authorization. You agree not to register for more than one Account, register for an Account on behalf of an individual other than Yourself, or register for an Account on behalf of any group or entity.

b) PAYMENT. To submit an order for any Services or to attend a MoDevNetwork promoted event, You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age or the applicable age of majority in Your jurisdiction. We may permit you to submit payment through a third party payment service provider at our discretion, in which case you represent and warrant that you have complied with all requirements of such third party service provider and that we have the right to request and receive payment from such third party service provider regarding Your purchase of access to the Services. If payment for Services is submitted directly through the Site or Services, You will be required to give us a valid credit card number (VISA, MasterCard, American Express or any other issuer then accepted by us) and associated payment information at the time You order any Services hereunder, including all of the following: (i) Your name as it appears on the card, (ii) the credit card type, (iii) the date of expiration of Your credit card, (iv) billing address, and (v) any activation numbers or codes needed to charge Your card.

By providing us with Your credit card number and associated payment information, You agree that we, and/or our third party payment service providers are authorized to immediately invoice Your Account for all fees and charges due and payable to us as a result of Your order, including but not limited to Service fees, set up fees, subscription fees or any other fee or charge associated with Your access to the Services.
