Terms of Service
Last updated: August 14, 2024
These Terms and Conditions contain legal obligations. Please read them carefully.
Ownership of Service.
Welcome to ParOne, Inc. The ParOne, Inc websites (www.parone.com, www.parone.io, www.parone.dev, www.parone.app, www.parone.ai) and any variations of, subdomains or successors to these websites, collectively, the “ParOne Website” or the “Website”, ParOne, Inc applications (Applications made available by ParOne, Inc, collectively, the ParOne Apps” or the “Apps”) and the ParOne service (together with the Website and the Apps, the ParOne Service” or the “Service”) are owned by ParOne, Inc. and, from time to time, its subsidiary and affiliate corporations, successors, and assigns (collectively referred to as “ParOne”). The ParOne Service currently consists of various web pages at or linked to the Website, the Apps, as well as areas of numerous websites operated by other companies that have entered into an agreement with ParOne to publish their Content through the ParOne Service on their site. The ParOne Service may expand or change from time to time.
Application of General Terms and Conditions.
Use by end users of the ParOne Service and the ParOne Website and ParOne Apps is governed by these General Terms and Conditions. For publishers’ use of the ParOne publishing services, a separate set of terms and conditions apply which are found at the URL https://www.parone.com/tos/acceptable-use-policy/. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new Services, including any new ParOne properties, shall be subject to these General Terms and Conditions. In addition, ParOne may have separate registration procedures and separate terms and conditions, terms of service, user agreements, or similar legal agreement/s for certain of its Services. When you are using any service or product offered by ParOne that does not have a separate legal agreement, these General Terms and Conditions will apply. In addition, ParOne also may offer certain services from time to time that are governed by the terms of service of the respective service partners. Where the ParOne Service is running on third-party websites, the terms and conditions of use of those websites may be applicable in addition to these terms and conditions.
Acceptance and Accuracy.
By using the ParOne Service and/or the Website or Apps, you agree, without limitation or qualification, to be bound by, and to comply with, these Terms and conditions and any other posted guidelines or rules applicable to any website or App where the ParOne Service is found. ParOne may make improvements and/or changes to the Website or Apps at any time. Although we attempt to periodically update information on the Website and Apps, the information, materials and services provided on or through the Website and Apps may occasionally be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. ParOne does not have a duty to update information contained in the Website or Apps, and ParOne will not be liable for any failure to update such information.
We make no representation as to the completeness, accuracy or currentness of any information on the ParOne Service, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise the information contained on the ParOne Service, whether as a result of new information, future events or circumstances or otherwise. It is your responsibility to verify any information contained in this website before relying upon it.
In addition, individual members of the ParOne team may from time to time post blogs, videos, or other content under their own byline on the Website or Apps. The views expressed in such content are the author’s and do not necessarily reflect the views of ParOne.
Conditions and Restrictions of Use.
Termination Use of the ParOne Service is subject to compliance with these Terms and Conditions. You acknowledge and agree that ParOne may terminate and/or suspend your access to any portion of the ParOne Service should you fail to comply with the Terms and Conditions or any other guidelines and rules published by ParOne. Any such termination or suspension shall be in ParOne' sole discretion and may occur without prior notice, or any notice. ParOne further reserves the right to terminate or suspend any user's access to ParOne or to any portion of the ParOne Service for any conduct that ParOne, in its sole discretion, believes is or may be directly or indirectly harmful to other users, to ParOne or its subsidiaries, affiliates, or business contractors, or to other third parties, or for any conduct that violates any local, state, federal, or foreign laws or regulations. ParOne further reserves the right to terminate or suspend any user's access to the ParOne Service for any reason or for no reason at all, in ParOne' sole discretion, without prior notice.
Access to Content Please be aware that the majority of the content found on or through the ParOne service is for general audiences, but there may be certain adult or mature content. Where there is mature or adult content, individuals who are less than 18 years of age or are not permitted to access such content under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction may not access such content. If ParOne learns that anyone under the age of 13 seeks to conduct a transaction through the Services, ParOne will require verified parental consent, in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 ("COPPA"). Certain areas of the ParOne Service may not be available to children under 13 under any circumstances.
Registration and Privacy. Certain of the ParOne Services will require the user to register and provide certain data. In consideration of use of such Services, in registering and providing such data, you represent and warrant that: (a) the information about yourself is true, accurate, current, and complete (apart from optional items) as required by various ParOne registration forms ("Registration Data") and (b) you will maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or ParOne has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, ParOne has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Services.
All ParOne registrations become the exclusive property of ParOne, its affiliates, successors in interest, and subsidiaries. ParOne reserves the right to use and reuse all registration and other personally identifiable user information subject to the ParOne Privacy Policy, which is found at https://www.parone.com/tos/privacy or within the App that directed you to this page. By using the Service, You acknowledge receipt of the ParOne Privacy Policy, including our Notice Regarding the Privacy of Children Under 16 While on the ParOne Service. Users may edit, update, alter or obscure their personally identifiable information at any time by following the instructions located in the ParOne Privacy Policy.
For those portions of the ParOne Service that require registration, upon registering, you will receive a password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and ID, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or ID. You agree to (a) immediately notify ParOne of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. ParOne cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this requirement.
Content Not Screened or Error Free. You acknowledge and agree that by using the Services, you may be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent or objectionable. You further acknowledge and agree that the Services and the Content may contain errors or omissions. You acknowledge and agree that ParOne does not screen or review published content on the Service to determine whether it contains false or defamatory material, or material which is offensive, indecent, objectionable, or which contains errors or omissions. Under no circumstances will ParOne be liable in any way for any user or other third party Content, including, but not limited to, for any defamation, falsehoods, errors or omissions in any such Content, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use or publication of any such Content posted, emailed or otherwise transmitted via the Services. ParOne does not guarantee that any Content will be to your satisfaction. In the event that you believe that Content published on or through the ParOne Service contains defamatory material or otherwise is published in violation of these terms and conditions, however, please contact us right away at:

For example, a ParOne account may be terminated or suspended if a user fails to sign-in to the ParOne Service for an extended period of time. What is considered “user inactivity” varies depending on the Service. If one of your accounts is suspended or terminated for inactivity, your right to use such Service immediately ceases.
Notice and Procedure For Making Claims of Copyright or Intellectual Property Infringement.
ParOne respects the intellectual property of others. ParOne does not, however, independently confirm that all Content made available through the ParOne Service is provided by a valid rights holder. In the event that ParOne becomes aware that Content published on or through the ParOne Service has been provided by a person who is not a valid rights holder, ParOne may, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, disable and/or terminate the publication of such Content. If you believe that your work has been copied or published in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or your intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, please provide ParOne’s Copyright Agent and/or General Counsel the following information:
- An electronic or physical signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest;
- A description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed;
- A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located or found on the Website, App, or Service; your address, telephone number and, if available, an email address;
- A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
- A statement by you that the above information provided by you in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright or intellectual property owner.
