Statement of Rights and Responsibilities

This Statement of Rights and Responsibilities ("Statement") derives from the Condo-Communities Principles, and governs our relationship with users and others who interact with Condo-Communities. By using or accessing Condo-Communities, you agree to this Statement.

Privacy

Your privacy is very important to us. We designed our Privacy Policy to make important disclosures about how you can use Condo-Communities to share with others and how we collect and can use your content and information. We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy, and to use it to help make informed decisions.
Sharing Your Content and Information

You own all of the content and information you post on Condo-Communities, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. In addition:
For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos ("IP content"), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Condo-Communities ("IP License"). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).
When you use an application, your content and information is shared with the application. We require applications to respect your privacy, and your agreement with that application will control how the application can use, store, and transfer that content and information. (To learn more about Platform, read our Privacy Policy and Platform Page.)
When you publish content or information using the "everyone" setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Condo-Communities, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture).
We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about Condo-Communities, but you understand that we may use them without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).
Safety

We do our best to keep Condo-Communities safe, but we cannot guarantee it. We need your help to do that, which includes the following commitments:
You will not send or otherwise post unauthorized commercial communications (such as spam) on Condo-Communities.

You will not upload viruses or other malicious code.

You will not do anything that could disable, overburden, or impair the proper working of Condo-Communities, such as a denial of service attack.
