Your User Content may be available for all other users to view and download, so use caution in what you post or otherwise make available on the Service.

Except as otherwise described in the Symmetry Online Privacy Policy or other agreement on the Service, you remain the owner of your User Content, but you acknowledge that Symmetry must have a license from you in order to accept your User Content. Accordingly, you grant to Symmetry an unrestricted, worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable and royalty-free license (but not obligation) to host, use, copy, distribute, display, perform, modify, translate, store or otherwise exploit all or any portion of your User Content for any purpose whatsoever (including to provide the Service and Services) in all formats, on or through any media, technology or device now known or hereafter developed. You further perpetually and irrevocably grant Symmetry the unconditional right to use, disseminate and display your name, persona and likeness included in any User Content and in connection with any User Content, without any obligation or payment to you.

You agree that your User Content will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary and will not be returned. You agree that you either: (i) own the rights to the User Content you submit and the right to grant all of the rights and licenses in these Terms of Use; or (ii) you have all necessary rights and licenses from the owner(s) of these rights to enter into these Terms of Use and grant Symmetry the license above. Upon Symmetry’s request, you will furnish Symmetry any documentation, substantiation or releases necessary to verify your compliance with these Terms of Use.

You authorize Symmetry to publish your User Content in a searchable format that may be accessed by users of the Service. Except as prohibited by law, you waive any moral rights you may have in any User Content you submit, even if such User Content is altered or changed in a manner not agreeable to you. You also acknowledge that the Internet may be subject to breaches of security and you are aware that submissions of User Content or other information may not be secure, and you should consider this before submitting any information to Symmetry, a Community Forum or the Service.

You also understand and acknowledge that: (a) Symmetry has wide access to ideas and other materials and that many ideas may be similar or identical to your submission (your User Content) and/or each other; (b) you will not be entitled to any compensation as a result of Symmetry’s use of any such similar or identical material; and (c) Symmetry does not now and will not have in the future any duty or liability, direct or indirect, vicarious, contributory, or otherwise, with respect to the infringement or protection of your copyright in and to your User Content.

You agree that Symmetry has no obligation to monitor or enforce your intellectual property rights to your User Content but has the right to protect and enforce its rights to use your User Content. You further acknowledge and agree that Symmetry will not have any obligation to you with regard to User Content and that Symmetry may or may not monitor, display or accept your User Content and may delete it at any time and you may have no right to access or control any User Content that you provide once you provide it. If you uploaded content you wish to be deleted from the Service, you can email us at privacy@symmetryenergy.com and we will review your request.

3. Linking Policy. Symmetry grants you the revocable permission to link to publicly available (i.e., non-password protected) portions of the Service; provided, however, that any link to the Service: (a) must not frame or create a browser or border environment around any of the content on the Service or otherwise mirror any part of the Service; (b) must not imply that Symmetry or the Service is endorsing or sponsoring it or its products, unless Symmetry has given it prior written consent; (c) must not present false information about, or disparage, tarnish, or otherwise, in Symmetry’s sole opinion, harm Symmetry or its products or services; (d) must not use any Symmetry trademarks without the prior written permission from Symmetry; (e) must not contain content that could be construed as distasteful, offensive or controversial or otherwise objectionable (in Symmetry’s sole opinion); and (f) must be owned and controlled by you or the person or entity placing the link, or otherwise permit you to enable such link subject to these Terms of Use. By linking to the Service, you agree that you do and will continue to comply with the above linking requirements.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Terms of Use, Symmetry reserves the right to prohibit linking to the Service for any reason in our sole and absolute discretion.

4. User Interactions And Disputes

You are solely responsible for your interaction with other users of the Service, whether online or offline. We are not responsible or liable for the conduct of any user.

Exercise common sense and your best judgment in your interactions with others, when you submit or post any personal or other information, and in all other online and offline activities.

5. Your Account

If you sign up for an account on the Service, you must select a username and password and provide accurate, complete, and updated contact information, identification details, and any other form of authentication requested on the Service in Symmetry’s sole discretion. Failure to do so constitutes a violation of these Terms of Use, which may result in immediate termination of your license to access and use the Service. You agree not to impersonate any person or entity or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your identity or affiliation with a person or entity.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to your computer, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password. If you are accessing and using the Service on someone else’s behalf, you represent that you have the authority to bind that person as a principal to these Terms of Use, and you agree to accept liability for harm caused by that person’s wrongful use of the Service.

Symmetry reserves the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content, or cancel accounts for any reason, in its sole discretion. These Terms of Use will remain in full effect even after your account is terminated. You shall register for and use your account on the Service, and purchase and use the products, features, and content available through the Service, in strict compliance with (1) these Terms of Use, and (2) all applicable laws, rules and regulations (collectively, “Laws”).

8. Third Party Websites And Social Networks

You may, through hypertext or other computer links on the Service, gain access to websites and social networks that are not under the control of or operated by Symmetry, but rather are exclusively controlled and operated by third parties. Those third-party websites and social networks are subject to different terms and conditions. When you access and use third-party websites and social networks, you will be legally bound by the terms and conditions of those websites and social networks. If there is a conflict between these Terms of Use, on the one hand, and terms and conditions of third-party websites and/or social networks, on the other hand, the third-party websites’ and/or social networks’ terms and conditions will govern with respect to your access and use of those websites and social networks.

Although Symmetry may provide a link to a third-party website or social network on the Service, such a link is not an authorization, endorsement, sponsorship or affiliation by Symmetry with respect to such website or social network, its content, its owners or its providers. Symmetry provides such links for your reference and convenience only. Accordingly, Symmetry makes no representations whatsoever concerning such websites and social networks. Symmetry has not tested any information, products or software found on such websites and social networks and therefore cannot make any representations whatsoever with respect thereto. You agree that Symmetry is not responsible for the content or operation of such websites and social networks, and it is up to you to take precautions to ensure that whatever you select is free of items such as viruses, worms, Trojan horses and other items of a destructive nature. You are solely responsible for determining the extent to which you may use any content at any other websites and social networks to which you link from this Service.

9. Feedback

Any comments or materials sent to the Service or to Symmetry, including feedback data, such as questions, comments, suggestions or the like regarding the content of any such documents (collectively “Feedback”), shall be deemed to be the property of Symmetry. Symmetry’s use of the Feedback will be in compliance with the Symmetry Online Privacy Policy, which is set forth on the Service, and applicable laws. Symmetry shall have no additional obligations with respect to such Feedback and shall be free to reproduce, use, disclose, exhibit, display, transform, create derivative works and distribute the Feedback to others without limitation. Further, Symmetry shall be free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques contained in such Feedback for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to developing, manufacturing and marketing products incorporating such Feedback, without compensating you.

10. Sweepstakes, Contests, and Promotions

Any sweepstakes, contests or other promotions (any, a “Promotion”) that may be offered via the Service may be governed by a separate set of rules that may have eligibility requirements, such as certain age or geographic area restrictions, terms and conditions governing the Promotion, use of User Content, and disclosures about how your personal information may be used. It is your responsibility to read these rules to determine whether or not you want to and are eligible to participate, register and/or enter, and to determine the applicable terms and conditions of the Promotion. By participating in a Promotion, you will be subject to those official rules, and you agree to comply with and abide by such rules and the decisions of the identified sponsor(s).

The information provided on the Service is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject Symmetry to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Symmetry makes no representations or warranties that the information, products or services contained on the Service are appropriate for use or access outside of the United States. Anyone using or accessing the Service from other locations does so on their own initiative and is responsible for compliance with United States’ and local laws regarding online conduct and acceptable content, if and to the extent such laws are applicable.

Unauthorized use of this Service is prohibited and violators can be prosecuted under federal and state laws.

17. Disputes; No Class Actions

To the extent allowable by law, any dispute relating in any way to your access to and use of the Service shall be submitted to confidential and binding arbitration in the State of Texas under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate the intellectual property rights of Symmetry or its licensors, as the case may be, Symmetry or its licensors may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court in the State of Texas.

Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be joined or consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party. YOU AND SYMMETRY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

In connection with any litigation, without limiting our right to bring an action against you in any jurisdiction, you further agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the state or federal courts located in Houston, Texas. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.

Therefore, you should review these Terms of Use before using the Service. The Updated Terms will be effective as of the time of posting, or such later date as may be specified in the Updated Terms, and will apply to your use of the Service from that point forward.

21. Severability

In the event that any term or provision of these Terms of Use is deemed unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or by a court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render the remaining terms or provisions unenforceable or invalid.

22. Assignment

You may not assign these Terms of Use (or any rights, benefits or obligations hereunder) by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of Symmetry, which may be withheld at Symmetry’s sole discretion.

Symmetry may assign these Terms of Use, in whole or in part, to any third party in its sole discretion, without notice to you.

23. Miscellaneous

Nothing contained in these Terms of Use shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between you and Symmetry. The failure of Symmetry to insist upon strict compliance with any term or provision of these Terms of Use shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter, and shall not be construed as a waiver with regard to any subsequent failure to comply with such term or provision. No waiver by Symmetry of any of these Terms of Use will be of any force or effect unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized office of Symmetry. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify these Terms of Use. The Section titles are inserted only as a matter of convenience and have no legal or contractual effect. You agree that these Terms of Use will not be construed against Symmetry by virtue of Symmetry having drafted them.
