We reserve the right to enforce the confiscation of any username for whatever reason.

Although we are not obligated, we may delete, edit, block and / or monitor the Memories uploaded to the Application or the accounts that are opened, always if we determine, entirely at our discretion, that they violate the Terms and Conditions.

1.5 Limitation of liability

Nitewise is in no way responsible for the content you upload, whether it is within a public or private profile of the application and whether it contains private places or restrictions of any kind regarding the reproduction of images.

Likewise, Nitewise is not responsible in any case for the content that you upload in which third parties appear, if you do not have the consent of these users for publication and use by Nitewise, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

Nitewise will not be responsible for economic losses (including loss of income, data, benefits, contracts, business or savings); or loss of image or reputation; or indirect losses.

Nitewise will not be responsible and will not tolerate any abusive, inappropriate or questionable content, and will also not accept the use of the application by users whose activity is abusive, inappropriate or questionable in the same way, whether or not it causes harm to a third party. This type of behavior, in accordance with what is outlined in subsection (xvii) of section 1.3 relating to the obligations of the user, will cause the user to be reported, proceeding to the closing of the corresponding account at our discretion, either completely or partially ceasing the provision of the service. Nitewise commits to reporting such users, as well as the apparent questionable content, within fifteen (2) working days.

Failure by the user to comply with the obligations and, in general, with the content of the provisions of our legal texts, may also result in the closure of the user's account, as well as the filing of any legal action deemed appropriate by Nitewise to defend its interests.

1.6. Intellectual and industrial property. Content management and licensing in favor of Nitewise

Our application makes use of our own content and content uploaded by our users.

Nitewise owns the intellectual and industrial property rights related to the application itself (i.e. software development, source code, backend, frontend, design, logos, image, button panels, distribution, etc.) as well as the visual content it uses (any video, picture or itinerary prepared by the team, as well as a description of countries, regions, localities or places of any kind).

By using our services, you accept and acknowledge that all intellectual and industrial property rights -including trademarks, inventions and copyrights – over all materials and content made available to you when you use this website and application are owned by us or by third parties that have authorized or licensed this use. You can only use these materials in the context of the contracted services and/or with the prior express consent of us or the corresponding holders.

Furthermore, Nitewise is the legitimate copyright holder of the content it creates for use on or off the platform, whether on its own or third-party websites, media, or networks.

In turn, the user is responsible for the content they upload to the application, for which, in the case that they are from third parties, they take responsibility and ensure they have the necessary permissions from the legitimate owner to upload and disseminate said content.

If Nitewise detects that its own or a third party's copyright has been infringed, it may deactivate the account of the user who is alleged to have committed the infringement and reserves the right to take appropriate legal action.

Likewise, Nitewise will investigate any information provided by a third party in this regard, in defense of the copyright of its rightful owners.

If you detect that intellectual property rights have been infringed on any of the content in question, you can contact us at the following email address: contact@nitewise.app

On the other hand, by uploading content to the application, users declare that they own the intellectual property rights to their own content that they choose to upload voluntarily to the application and share with the rest of the community, or that they have the authorization of the owner, or that the content is freely disseminated, which implies the transfer of copyright over them, except for those rights that the law may qualify at any given time as inalienable.

In the case that they are proposed any exploitation proposal for their own intellectual property, they will be free to facilitate or not facilitate the transfer of exploitation rights in the conditions agreed upon.

The user is fully aware that the content that he/she uploads to the application may be known and used by third-party users, which expressly implies authorization to Nitewise or to these third parties to make use of them within the scope of the application itself, either through the app, the website, as well as in Nitewise app's social networks.

Likewise, by posting your content on Nitewise you are granting us the license to make use of it:

By posting your Content on our App Platform, you grant Nitewise or companies with which Nitewise has commercial agreements an international, non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free license to host, use, distribute, modify, perform, reproduce, publicly display, publicly perform, translate and create derivative works of your Content.

In relation to the above, said license may be revoked at any time by the user, by sending an email to contact@nitewise.app indicating the content for which he/she wishes to revoke the said license of use and exploitation. Whenever technically possible, Nitewise will cease to use such content and will refer those third parties with whom it has commercial agreements and who have the same, to do the same.

Nitewise shall not be liable for the use that third parties may have made of the content for which the user has granted the license for use and exploitation.

Nitewise will not use your content in advertisements for third party products and services that are displayed to others without separate consent (including Sponsored Content), although you agree and acknowledge that such companies may include advertisements and promotions on our application, next to, near or otherwise in close proximity to your or others' content.

Nitewise will not grant any third party the right to publish your Public Content in places other than the Nitewise platform. However, if you share your Public Content, it will be displayed publicly and we will enable a feature that allows other users to share it, by embedding the post or otherwise on third-party services. In addition, we will enable search engines to perform searches.

1.7 Terms of use of the Application

The purpose of Nitewise and its Application is to create a social network in which users can share their experiences related to travel, tourism, and leisure, by publishing multimedia content.

(i) Personal account

If you wish to use the Application, you must register it on the same page through the form created for that purpose, for which you may follow the instructions indicated therein and indicate the required information (the "Registration Form"). Specifically, the data required in the Registration Form are the email, username, gender, and date of birth.

Registration in the Application can be done, either through the social login options provided by: Google, Facebook or Apple. Once registered, you will be the holder of a personal account called a "profile", in which the activity is carried out under the terms that will be described later. Registering on the application via any of these options means that you are providing us with personal data you provided to these applications, such as your email address, which is indicated in the registration process before you confirm your registration.

Through this procedure, you will get access to your personal account, and through the same account, you have access to all the services provided by Nitewise as well as its Community.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials, committing yourself to your security and not offering your data to third parties.

In the event that you detect that your account has been supplanted by a third party, you must inform nitewise's legal team as soon as possible at the electronic address contact@nitewise.app, in order to adopt the relevant measures.

The fraudulent use of a personal account by the User or a third party will mean the loss of the right to continue using the features of the Application.

(ii) Creation of the user profile

The elaboration of your profile should be according to the content and thematic of the purpose of the Application. For this reason, we will delete those profiles that contain:

  • Images or language of a violent nature;
  • Language or suggestions of a sexual nature;
  • Defamatory, discriminatory, abusive, aggressive, and/or violent content;
  • Offensive and/or obscene language;
  • Images that Nitewise can identify as the user not having the rights of use, reproduction, or authorship.

Nitewise may immediately suspend or cancel an account that violates any of the conditions mentioned in these Terms and Conditions, without prior notice.

Nitewise will allow you, through a search engine, to search for places, events, experiences, or services that will be identified by the tags associated with the multimedia content.

Further:

  1. In relation to intellectual property rights over texts, images or videos uploaded to the Application, you specifically grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, worldwide license, with unlimited duration, to use, communicate, publish, disseminate or modify such contents.
  2. When you publish a memory in the Application, it will be accessible to everyone, not only to the Users of the application but to any person, even if they are unaffiliated to the Application.

Furthermore:

  • Nitewise reserves the right to publish itineraries, places or parts of them that have been made public by the user themself (i.e. who has decided to share them) on our Instagram or Facebook accounts, since by registering as a user of our application you have accepted.
  • In turn, any Facebook or Instagram user outside the Nitewise community who wants us to publish or share certain images published on those platforms will only have to use our corporate hashtags or tag us in their post.
  • In this way, you will be granting us the use and distribution of the publication on the social network. This transfer is understood to be made free of charge without any type of compensation, without geographical determination and for an unlimited period of time.

(iii) Services offered by Nitewise
