IMPORTANT-READ CAREFULLY: This User Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal contract between you (either an individual or a business entity) and Accelerated I/O, Inc. for the Accelerated I/O software product identified above. BY LOGGING INTO THE WEBSITE, BY USING THE WEBSITE, OR BY UPLOADING A FILE TO OUR WEBSITES OR AFFILIATE'S WEBSITES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT USE THE WEBSITE, OR UPLOAD A FILE TO OUR WEBSITE OR AFFILIATE'S.
GOOD REPUTATION: You agree that everyone is entitled to a good reputation and you will not engage in ad hominem attacks, flame wars, doxxing, or other activities that are meant to damage another person's reputation or career. If Accelerated I/O decides that your content must be moderated, you agree to paysite credits for the moderation fee required to fix the violation. If you do not have enough credits to pay the moderation fee, your account will have a negative credit balance. Accelerated I/O will also set the offending media to private, so only you can see it until the issues are resolved.
MATERIAL PRESENTATION: When you upload material and make it public, the presentation of the material to others is solely determined by Accelerated I/O's algorithms.
ACCOUNT INFORMATION: You agree to provide accurate account information. Since you might purchase our services, the ability to use the services or get refunds depends on the accuracy of the information that you provide. If you attempt to defraud Accelerated I/O with inaccurate information, Accelerated I/O retains the right to delete your account without any refunds, as allowed by law. You agree to not share your password or other account information with other users, except you may share your public name that was assigned to you. You agree not to share the user name that you use to log into your account. You agree not to create extra accounts to get free credits since that is against site policy and will become cumbersome for you as our relationship develops. For example, we usually need to collect tax information which is usually unique. Therefore multiple accounts will often create multiple reports to taxing agencies which could raise issues between you and them. You can download or delete your account information. If you delete the information, you would be forfeiting any ability to collect fees from derivative works, and your credits would go to other users. If you delete information needed to fulfill taxing or other regulations or to make payments and generally to conduct commerce, your entire account will be deleted. You may not make any attempt to delete information that indicates criminal activity, prevents legal obligations or regulatory compliance or inhibits the action required by any administrative authority, law enforcement, of government agency.
UPDATE PERMISSION: If you download our software, you grant us permission to update that software. We may update our terms of service. We will notify you with an email whenever our terms of service are updated. When our terms of service our updated, you and Accelerated I/O our bound by them. If you do not agree with the update of our terms of service, you should delete your account on the Flixtion or Vectorvortec sites.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS: Copyright. All title and copyrights in and to Flixtion or VectorVortec technology (including, without limitation, any images, photographs, animations, video, audio, music, text, and "applets" incorporated into the Flixtion or VectorVortec technology), the accompanying media, printed materials and materials in electronic form, and any copies of Flixtion or VectorVortec Technology are, as between you and Accelerated I/O, the exclusive property of Accelerated I/O. Flixtion or VectorVortec Technology is the proprietary and confidential information of Accelerated I/O and is protected by trademark, trade secret laws, copyright laws, and international treaty provisions. Therefore, you must treat Flixtion or VectorVortec Technology like any other copyrighted material, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and you must take reasonable security precautions, at least as great as the precautions you take to protect your own confidential information, to keep Flixtion or VectorVortec Technology confidential.

SUBMISSIONS: Should you decide to transmit to Accelerated I/O's website by any means or by any media any materials or other information (including, without limitation, ideas, concepts or techniques for new or improved services and products), whether as information, feedback, data, questions, comments, suggestions or the like, you agree such submissions are unrestricted and shall be deemed non-confidential and you automatically grant Accelerated I/O and its assigns a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable license, with the right to sublicense, use, copy, transmit, distribute, create derivate works of, display and perform the same. You agree that other users can modify your work if you set the work to public viewing. If the work generates revenue, you agree that the revenue is shared between you and other users on a pro-rata basis. The revenue usually comes from Accelerated I/O sharing some of the server fees charged to the person making derivative works. However, Accelerated I/O only charges for certain things such as conversion from raster to vector. In other words, most of the conversion fees are paid to Accelerated I/O as cloud fees. Some of those cloud fees are shared with the users who created the work that was converted. The fees that Accelerated I/O shares with the creators are distributed on a pro-rata basis as determined by Accelerated I/O's algorithms. In addition, you hereby irrevocably appoint Accelerated I/O as your representative for purposes of perfecting any such rights.
USE OF INFORMATION: Information collected online is typically defined as being either anonymous or personally identifiable. Anonymous information refers to data that cannot be tied back to a specific individual. For example, we may or may not collect the visitor's IP address (e.g., whether the user is logged on from ibm.com or aol.com), referral data (e.g., the Internet address of the last Web page visited by a user before clicking over to our web site), and browser and platform type (e.g., a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform). You do not have to register with Accelerated I/O before we can collect this anonymous information. Personally, identifiable information refers to data that tells us specifically who you are, such as your name, address, and financial information, which may be collected in addition to the anonymous data described above. Accelerated I/O treats all personally identifiable member information with the utmost care for your privacy and security. Accelerated I/O does not sell, trade, or otherwise disclose customer lists or personally identifiable information to unaffiliated third parties without your permission. In the event that Accelerated I/O should be acquired or substantially all of its assets transferred, customer information would be considered a transferable asset and would be transferred to the acquiring entity. Further, in the event we make a material change in the way we collect your personal information, use your personal information, or change our email policies, you will be notified by email or through a prominent notice on our website. For your information, below is an outline of the information collected from you to provide our services, and a description of what we do with such information.
SIGN UP INFORMATION: Upon granting any use of Flixtion or VectorVortec Technology, Accelerated I/O collects the following information: name, address, and email address, along with other information about the user. This information may then be imported into our website programs to simplify the amount of information the user will be required to enter when using the features available on our website. Accelerated I/O may use your information to contact you regarding a change or update and to send you information about our company and select partners. You may control the receipt of such information by advising Accelerated I/O of your decision to opt out of such information programs.
