Prohibited User Content

We strive to create an environment where you and other Users have freedom of expression. However, to ensure that all Users feel safe expressing diverse opinions and beliefs, we do not tolerate, in any instance, behavior that rises to the level of abuse, including harassment, intimidation, or the use of fear to silence another User. Reports of such Prohibited User Content (defined below) will be reviewed and we reserve the absolute right determine the extent of such violations and to take any steps we deem necessary to prevent the submission of or remove Prohibited User Content, including the suspension or termination of any User or account (including related accounts) engaging in such activities. Without limiting the generality of the Prohibited Uses you may not submit User Content that:

1. is commercial in nature (including advertising);
2. is false or misleading;
3. diminishes, misappropriates, or infringes on the legal rights of others, including the right to privacy, copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, and any other intellectual property rights;
4. directly or indirectly identifies any other person or reveals any of his or her personal information, without obtaining such person’s express written consent to the disclosure of such person’s identity or personal information if such person is not a minor, or pertains to minors and directly or indirectly identifies minors or reveals any of their personal information, (e.g., full name, age, address or contact information);
5. is unlawful, defamatory, libelous or invades the privacy of others;
6. is abusive, harassing, offensive, vulgar, intimidating or uses fear to silence another;

8. encourages criminal behavior or conduct that would constitute a criminal offense under any law, or could give rise to civil liability or other lawsuit;
9. promotes pyramid schemes, chain letters or disruptive commercial messages or advertisements, or anything else prohibited by law or under these Terms; or
10. falsely expresses or implies that such content is sponsored or endorsed by Continental.

The foregoing 1-10 are “Prohibited User Content.” The preceding Prohibited User Content does not in any way expand the scope of the VoicR License.
 

CONDUCT WHILE OPERATING A VEHICLE

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES COMPLIES WITH THE LAWS OF THE JURISDICTION IN WHICH YOU ARE USING THE SERVICES. Without limiting the foregoing and in addition to the restrictions on your use of the Services set forth above, you must always drive vigilantly according to road conditions and obey all laws applicable to you, including those applicable to your operation of a motor vehicle and your use of the Services If you are driving a vehicle, you may not access or use the Services and any Advertising and Promotions non-verbally for any purpose, provided, however, that these Terms will not restrict you from using the Services and Advertising and Promotions while driving to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law. Alternatively, if you are a passenger of the vehicle (i.e., are not driving the vehicle) you may interact with all features of the Services, provided that such interaction not interfere with the driver’s operation of the vehicle, and does not distract the driver’s attention from the road. For the avoidance of doubt, you are bound by these Terms regardless of whether you are a driver or passenger of the vehicle, and Continental will have no responsibility for (or liability in connection with) any failure to use the Services in full compliance with the law.
 

OUR RIGHT TO MANAGE CONTENT ON THE SERVICES

While Continental is not obligated to do so, Continental has the right to examine User Content before or after its publication, prevent publication of inappropriate or otherwise inadequate or erroneous User Content, or remove any User Content after its publication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Continental (1) will have no duty to detect any such User Content even if it conducts such an examination, and (2) if Continental does detect such User Content, Continental will have no duty to prevent or remove any such User Content. The foregoing does not in any way negate your obligations under these Terms, including those with respect to Permitted Uses, Prohibited Uses, and Prohibited User Content. Continental retains sole discretion in determining which User Content will be published, the duration of its publication, its location, how and when it appears on the Services, its design and any other matter about the publication of User Content in connection with the Services. Continental does not guarantee that all User Content will be published, in general, nor does Continental guarantee that if User Content is published that it will be published for any specific length of time. User Content does not reflect the views of Continental, and Continental has no responsibilities with respect to the substance of any user content, including, for example, ensuring that User Content is accurate, complete, reliable, legal (e.g., is non-infringing or non-violative of any third party’s rights), useful or up-to-date.
 

ADVERTISEMENTS & OTHER COMMERCIAL INFORMATION ON THE SERVICES

The Services may be supported by advertising and/or promotion-derived revenue, and the Services may include advertisements and/or promotions placed either by Continental or by third-parties. You agree (1) that Continental may place such advertising and/or promotions through the Services, including on, about, or in conjunction with User Content (“Continental Advertising and Promotions”) and (2) that Continental may permit third parties to place such advertising and/or promotions through the Services, including on, about, or in conjunction with User Content (“Third Party Advertising and Promotions”) (Continental Advertisements and Promotions and Third Party Advertisements and Promotions together are “Advertising and Promotions”). You agree that Continental may change or permit third parties to change the manner, mode, and extent of the Advertising and Promotions without notice to you. Continental does not endorse any Third Party Advertising.
 

CHANGES TO THE SERVICES

We may, either partially or in its entirety, and without any obligation to provide you prior notice, add to, modify, or cease providing the Services (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any part of the Service’s features, and the extent and availability of any content (e.g., User Content) that may be accessible via the Services). You will have no, and you hereby waive all, claims against us related to or otherwise arising out of any such additions, modifications, or eliminations.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we may, from time to time, make updates to the Services. The Services may also automatically download and install updates from time to time. These updates may improve the security and safety of the experience for users or may contain bug fixes, new functionality, or new components. Services updates may involve the collection of personal information (as described in the Privacy Policy or as separately outlined at the time of installation) or cause your device to automatically communicate with our servers to identify whether updates to the Services or content are available for installation. You agree to receive all such Services updates (and permit Continental to install these on your device) as part of your use of the Services. The Services may use content that is automatically updated from time to time, including IP white lists and website sign-in protocols. You agree to receive and permit us to install such updated content in connection with the Services (including on your device). You further acknowledge and agree, however, that these Terms neither entitle you to receive, nor require us to provide, hard‐copy documentation, support, telephone assistance, or enhancements or updates to the Services.

Accordingly, and without limiting the foregoing, in no event may the Services (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any of the underlying information and technology, and/or any support services) be downloaded or otherwise exported, transferred, or re-exported (i) into (or to a national or resident of) Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Sudan, the Crimea region of the Ukraine, or any other country or national of a country which the U.S. has embargoes, sanctions, or other export restrictions; or (ii) to any person or entity prohibited by the U.S. Government, including but not limited to persons and entities on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce Department’s Denied Parties List or Entities List.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Michigan, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law AND WILL SPECIFICALLY NOT BE GOVERNED BY THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTIONS ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS, IF OTHERWISE APPLICABLE.

Severability; Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions, and the remaining provisions of the Terms will remain in full force and effect. Continental’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. No waiver of any of these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition.

Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Continental and governs your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and Continental. You may not assign these Terms or assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Continental. Any purported assignment or delegation by you without the prior written consent of Continental will be null and void. Continental may assign these Terms or any rights hereunder without your consent. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify the Terms. These Terms do not confer any third-party beneficiary rights.

No Joint Venture

These Terms and your use of the Services, including the submission of User Content in connection with the Services, do not create, and shall not be construed as creating any relationship, partnership, joint venture, employer-employee, agency, or franchisor-franchisee relationship in any way and of any kind between you and Continental.

Full Consideration

Your use of the Services in full compliance with these Terms is intended for your enjoyment and benefit and the provision of the Services to you constitutes the sole and sufficient consideration that you are entitled to receive for any User Content or other contributions you have made to the Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, you are entitled to no separate consideration apart from the consideration described in the preceding sentence.

Territorial Restrictions

The information provided within the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity outside the United States. We reserve the right to limit the availability of the Services or any portion of the Services, to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction, at any time and in Continental’s sole discretion, and to limit the quantities of any content, program, product, service or other feature that Continental provides. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Services is not contrary to the law or regulation of the jurisdiction or country in which you are using the Services, or would subject Continental to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country.

Survival

All Terms provisions that are by their nature continuing will survive the termination of these Terms.

Miscellaneous

Except in the Limitation of Liability Section, any reference to “may not” in these Terms means the corresponding action or omission is not permitted either directly, indirectly, personally, through any other person, or via any other means, and that you shall not undertake such corresponding act or omission. For the avoidance of doubt, Continental will have no liability in connection with Continental taking any actions that it has the right to take under these Terms. Continental may perform any of its obligations or exercise any of its rights under these Terms using independent contractors, subcontractors, and other non-employees performing or acting on behalf of Continental or at Continental’s request (collectively, “Contractor/Agents”). All actions taken under or in connection with your account, whether by you or by any other person or entity, are attributable to you under these Terms.
