Acceptable Use Policy

Here at LiveSource, our goal is to help you and your team do the best work of your lives, every day. To do this, we need to keep our products and services running smoothly, quickly, and without distraction. For this to happen, we need help from you, our users. We need you not to misuse or abuse our products and services.

To describe exactly what we mean by “misuse” or “abuse” – and help us identify such transgressions, and react accordingly – we’ve created this Acceptable Use Policy. Under this policy, we reserve the right to block or remove content that is inconsistent with the spirit of the guidelines, even if it’s something that is not forbidden by the letter of the policy. In other words, if you do something that isn’t listed here verbatim, but it looks or smells like something listed here, we may still remove it.

You’ll see the word “services” a lot throughout this page. That refers to all websites owned or operated by LiveSource, and any related websites, sub-domains and pages, as well as any cloud services operated by LiveSource.

Use your judgment, and let’s be kind to each other so we can keep creating great things. You can find all the legal fine print at the bottom of this page.

Here’s what we won’t allow:

Disruption

• Compromising the integrity of our systems. This could include probing, scanning, or testing the vulnerability of any system or network that hosts our services.

• Modifying, disabling, or compromising the integrity or performance of the services or related systems, network or data
• Deciphering any transmissions to or from the servers running the services
• Overwhelming or attempting to overwhelm our infrastructure by imposing an unreasonably large load on our systems that consume extraordinary resources (CPUs, memory, disk space, bandwidth, etc.), such as using “robots,” “spiders,” “offline readers,” or other automated systems to sends more request messages to our servers than a human could reasonably send in the same period of time by using a normal browser.

Wrongful activities

• Promoting or advertising products or services other than your own without appropriate authorization

Inappropriate content

In this Acceptable Use Policy, the term “content” means: (1) any information, data, text, software, code, scripts, music, sound, photos, graphics, videos, messages, tags, interactive features, or other materials that you post, upload, share, submit, or otherwise provide in any manner to the services and (2) any other materials, content, or data you provide to LiveSource or use with the Services.

Without affecting any other remedies available to us, LiveSource may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend a user’s account or access to the services without notice or liability if LiveSource (in its sole discretion) determines that a user has violated this Acceptable Use Policy.
