Privacy Policy

Overview

Our privacy policy and processes at 8.5×14 Media Inc. (“We”, “Us” or “Our”), the
owner and provider of the Contractually service, are subject to applicable
government laws. We do not send spam, or support the activities of spammers. You
have access to edit your information at any time on request to Us. We are
committed to protecting the privacy of personal information of identifiable
individuals.

When you join us as a member of our Service (the “Service”), we ask for personal
information that will be used to activate your account, provide the Service to
you, communicate with you about the status of your account, and for other
purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

Consent & Information Collection and Use

By providing personal information to us and by registering with us to provide
you with the Service, you voluntarily consent to the collection, use and
disclosure of personal information as specified in this Agreement. Without
limiting the foregoing, we may on occasion ask you to consent when we collect,
use, or disclose your Personal Information in specific circumstances. Sometimes
your consent will be implied through your conduct with us if the purpose of the
collection, use or disclosure is obvious and you voluntarily provide the
information.

When you join us as a member of our Service, you will be asked to provide
information to create your account and use the Service offered by us. Your email
address, name and certain other information about You (“Personal Information”)
are required by us to provide the Service.

You will also be asked to create a user name and private password, which will
become part of your account information. We may use your account information for
the following purposes:

• To provide the Service to you;
• To create, manage and control your account information;
• To communicate with you for the purpose of informing you of changes or additions to the Service, or of the availability of any service we provide;
• To assess service levels, monitor traffic patterns and gauge popularity of different service options;
• To verify access rights to services and software;
• To contact you using email or the web with information regarding our Service and
  other services that are offered;
• To allow you to purchase and download our current and future services and
  software;
• To carry out our marketing activities;
• To enforce this Agreement;
• To respond to claims of any violation of our rights or those of any third parties;
• To respond to your requests for customer service;
• To protect the rights, property or personal safety of you, us, our users and the
  public; and
• As required or authorized by law.

 

We may occasionally communicate with you regarding our products, services, news
and events. You have the option to not receive this information. We provide an
opt-out function within all email communications of this nature, or will cease
to communicate with you for this purpose if you contact us at
legal@contractual.ly and tell us not to communicate this information to you. The
only kinds of these communications that you may not “opt-out” of are:

(1) Communications regarding status updates and communications with other
members of the Service, related to the contracts and other content you are
managing through the Service; and

(2) Communications required to communicate service-related announcements,
including information specific to your account, planned service suspensions and
outages. We will attempt to minimize this type of communication to you.

Age of Consent

We do not knowingly provide the Service to, and will not knowingly collect the
personal information from anyone under the age of consent.

Rights to Your Information

You have the right to access and edit your information at anytime by signing in
to your account for the Service. Sign in is accessible at https://contractual.ly/users/sign_in.

Disclosure

We will only share your information with third parties in accordance with your
instructions or as necessary to provide you with a specific service or otherwise
in accordance with applicable privacy legislation. As a general rule, we do not
and will not sell, rent, share or disclose your personal information without
first receiving your permission or as permitted in this policy.

Sharing information as part of negotiating contracts

One of the features of the Service involves negotiating contracts with other
members, which inherently involves sharing your information with them. For
example, you may fill out a contract form that includes your name and contact
information and then invite another person or multiple people to negotiate the
contract with you. Or, you may be invited by a member to negotiate a contract
with them. When an invitation is accepted, you are then sharing your information
related to that contract with the person or people who are participants to that
contract. Participants may invite additional people to negotiate the contract;
your information related to that contract will then be shared with those
additional people when they accept the invitation.

You acknowledge and agree that by inviting, or accepting an invitation, to
negotiate a contract with someone else, you will be sharing your information
related to that contract with the current and future participants to that
contract.

Aggregated Data

We may also use your Personal Information to generate Aggregated Data for
internal use and for sharing with affiliates, subsidiaries and business partners
for planning and marketing purposes. “Aggregated Data” means records which have
been stripped of information potentially identifying individuals, and which have
been manipulated or combined to provide generalized, anonymous information. Your
identity and personal information will be kept anonymous in Aggregated Data.

Links

Our website may contain links to other sites and we are not responsible for the
privacy practices or the content of such sites. We encourage you to read the
privacy policy of linked sites. Their privacy policies and practices differ from
our policies and practices.

Cookies and Log Files

We use cookies and log files to track user information. Cookies are small
amounts of data that are transferred to your Web browser by a Web server and are
stored on your computer’s hard drive. We use cookies to monitor traffic patterns
and gauge popularity of service options. We will use this information to deliver
relevant content and services to you.

If your browser is set not to accept cookies, you will not be able to use our
service. However, most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set
your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, providing you with the
chance to accept it.

Change of Ownership or Business Transition

In the event of a change of ownership or other business transition, such as a
merger, acquisition or sale of our assets, your information may be transferred.
Your information will be transferred in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

Security

We strive to prevent unauthorized access to your personal information. However,
no data transmission over the Internet, by wireless device or over the air is
guaranteed to be 100% secure.

We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to encrypt the transmission of your personal
information and password as part of your account setup.

We strongly recommend that you do not disclose your password to anyone. If you
forget your password, we will ask you for the email address under which you hold
your account for the Service and email you a URL where you may reset your
password.

Your account information is kept on secure servers and can only be accessed by
authorized employees who need to have access to this data in order to fulfill
their duties.

Please remember that you control what personal information you provide while
using the Service. Ultimately, you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy
of your identification, passwords and/or any personal information in your
possession for the use of the Service. Always be careful and responsible
regarding your personal information. We are not responsible for, and cannot
control, the use by others of any information which you provide to them and you
should use caution in selecting the personal information you provide to others
through the Service. Similarly, we cannot assume any responsibility for the
content of any personal information or other information which you receive from
other users through the Service, and you release us from any and all liability
in connection with the contents of any personal information or other information
which you may receive using the Service. We cannot guarantee, or assume any
responsibility for verifying, the accuracy of the personal information or other
information provided by any third party. You release us from any and all
liability in connection with the use of such personal information or other
information of others.
