You acknowledge and agree LS is a private site owned and operated by LiftShift.org. If you are accessing or using LS on behalf of a business, you represent and warrant to LS that you have authority to accept the TOU on behalf of that business and that that business agrees to the TOU. If you do not agree to the TOU, you are not authorized to use LS or download the App. We may modify the TOU at any time in our sole discretion. You are responsible for periodically checking for changes and are bound by them if you continue to use LS. Our privacy policy (LiftShift.com/about/privacy.policy), prohibited list (LiftShift.org/about/prohibited), and all other policies, site rules, and agreements referenced below or on LS, are fully incorporated into this TOU, and you agree to them as well.

LICENSE. If you agree to the TOU and (1) are of sufficient age and capacity to use LS and be bound by the TOU, or (2) use LS on behalf of a business, thereby binding that business to the TOU, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-assignable license to use LS in compliance with the TOU; unlicensed use is unauthorized. You agree not to display, "frame," make derivative works, distribute, license, or sell, content from LS, excluding postings you create.

you agree not to use or provide software (except our App and general purpose web browsers and email Clients) or services that interact or interoperate with LS, e.g. for downloading, uploading, creating/accessing/using an account, posting, flagging, emailing, searching, or mobile use. You agree not to copy/collect LS content via robots, spiders, scripts, scrapers, crawlers, or any automated or manual equivalent (e.g., by hand). Misleading, unsolicited, and/or unlawful postings/communications/accounts are prohibited, as is buying or selling accounts. You agree not to post content that is prohibited by any of LS's policies or rules referenced above ("Prohibited Content"). You agree not to abuse LS's flagging or reporting processes. You agree not to collect LS user information or interfere with LS. You agree we may moderate LS access/use in our sole discretion, e.g., by blocking, filtering, re-categorizing, re-ranking, deleting, delaying, holding, omitting, verifying, or terminating your access/license/account. You agree (1) not to bypass said moderation, (2) we are not liable for moderating or not moderating, and (3) nothing we say or do waives our right to moderate, or not. Unless licensed by us in a separate written or electronic agreement, you agree not to (i) rent, lease, sell, publish, distribute, license, sublicense, assign, transfer, or otherwise make available LS or our application programming interface ("API"), (ii) copy, adapt, create derivative works of, decompile, reverse engineer, translate, localize, port or modify the App, the API, any website code, or any software used to provide LS, (iii) combine or integrate LS or the API with any software, technology, services, or materials not authorized by us, (iv) circumvent any functionality that controls access to or otherwise protects LS or the API, or (v) remove or alter any copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights notices.
