Disclamer

These terms of service (“Terms”) apply to visitors and registered users (“You/Your”) of the Agora web site, application, and virtual reality program (the “Service”) and are legally binding terms. Please read these Terms carefully before registering for, or using, the Agora web site and Service. These Terms are the only terms that govern the provision of the Service by Agora to You. These Terms encompass the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. By accessing the Service, You represent and warrant that You have read, understand, and agree (1) to be bound by the following Terms which also set forth Your conditions of use as a registered user of the Service; (2) that You have the right, authority, and capacity to abide by these Terms; (3) that You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations concerning Your access and use of the Service; and (4) that You have entered into a binding agreement with Agora. If You do not want to comply with these Terms, you must not access the web site or the Service.

Access to the Service

  1. You must be at least 13 years old, or at least the minimum legal age in the jurisdiction from which You are using the Service, in order to access or use the Service. If you are at least 13 but are under the age of 18, You may only use the Platform with Your parent’s or guardian’s consent and Your parent or guardian must provide consent after having read this Terms of Service. In such a case you represent and warrant and covenant that both You and Your parent or guardian have read and consent to these Terms (including all the conditions, limitations, disclaimers, and waivers provided herein). You further acknowledge and agree that by using the Platform You are accepting a benefit that You cannot return or disgorge and that we are relying on Your representations regarding Your ability to accept and perform these Terms, and You therefore waive any right You may have under applicable law to void, rescind, or otherwise avoid these Terms. If You are a parent or guardian consenting to these Terms on behalf of a child between the ages of 13 and 18, You additionally agree to guarantee and be fully responsible for that person’s performance hereunder, including all financial obligations or liability he or she may incur, and all disclaimers and waivers of applicable legal protections provided herein, and You agree to take all actions (including executing such additional documents or agreements) necessary to effect and perfect the foregoing. In all other cases, You represent that you are 18 years or older and fully competent to enter into these Terms, and You hereby agree and acknowledge that You have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms without modification.
  2. You cannot access or use the Service for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. International users shall comply with all local laws regarding privacy, online conduct and acceptable content.
  3. You must not transmit any worms or viruses or any code of a destructive nature.
  4. You must not violate any laws in Your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright laws).
  5. Use of the Service requires one or more compatible devices, internet access (fees may apply), and certain software (fees may apply), and may require obtaining updates or upgrades from time to time. Because use of the Service involves hardware, software, and Internet access, Your ability to use the Service may be affected by the performance of these factors. High speed Internet access is recommended. You acknowledge and agree that meeting such system requirements, which may be changed from time to time, are Your responsibility.
  6. The Service may only be accessed in accordance with the provision of these Terms. Any violation of the intellectual property in the Service, or these Terms may be enforced by Agora, or the owner to the fullest extent allowed by law.
  7. If Agora’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission from You, Agora shall not be deemed in breach of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise liable for any costs, charges, or losses sustained or incurred by You, in each case, to the extent arising directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay.
  8. You acknowledge and agree that Agora may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Service (or any features within the Service) to You or to users generally at Agora’s sole discretion, without prior notice to You. You may stop using the Service at any time. You do not need to specifically inform Agora when You stop using the Service. You acknowledge and agree that if Agora disables access to Your account, You may be prevented from accessing the Service, Your account details or any files or other materials which are contained in Your account.
  9. You agree not to access (or attempt to access) the Service by any means other than through the interface that is provided by Agora, unless You have been specifically allowed to do so in a separate agreement. You agree that You will not engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts the Service, and that You are solely responsible for (and that Agora bears no responsibility to You or to any third party for) any breach of Your obligations under these Terms and for the consequences (including any loss or damage which Agora may suffer) of any such breach.
  10. Without prior approval and express written permission from Agora, You may not engage in any use which alters in any way the visual presentation or appearance of the Service.

  12. You shall not use the Service to communicate any message or material that is harassing, libelous, threatening, obscene, or indecent, or that violates the intellectual property rights of any party or is otherwise unlawful, such that the use of the Service would give rise to civil liability, or constitute or encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense, under any applicable law or regulation.
  13.

  15. Agora reserves the right to investigate and take appropriate action against anyone who, in Agora’s sole discretion, is suspected of violating any provision in these Terms, including without limitation, reporting You to law enforcement authorities.
