PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL CONTRACT CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY. IT GOVERNS YOUR USE OF THE SAFE WI-FI APP, LIMITS VERIZON'S LIABILITY TO YOU AND REQUIRES YOU TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH VERIZON THROUGH BINDING AND INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN THROUGH JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY PART OF THIS CONTRACT, DO NOT CLICK-TO-ACCEPT IT OR USE SAFE WI-FI. YOU WILL BEGIN TO INCUR DATA USAGE CHARGES ONCE YOUR SETUP OF SAFE WI-FI IS COMPLETE.
- CUSTOMER AGREEMENT. Your overall relationship with Verizon is governed by the terms of Your Customer Agreement, including the arbitration provision, as well as your data plan, and are supplemented by these Terms of Service ("TOS") when you are using the Safe Wi-Fi app. In the event of a conflict between these TOS and the Customer Agreement, these TOS govern when you are using the Safe Wi-Fi app.
- DEFINITIONS. In the TOS: (a) "Verizon" means Verizon Wireless; (b) "We" and "Us" means Verizon and our third-party licensors and; (c) "You" and "Your" mean an individual who uses Safe Wi-Fi and any person or entity represented by that individual.
- SOFTWARE. The Safe Wi-Fi app includes software provided by us, our affiliates or our third-party licensors ("Software"). We may update the Software from time to time and your failure to install any update may affect your use of the Safe Wi-Fi app and/or the Software. You may use the Software only as part of, or for use with, the Safe Wi-Fi app, as authorized in these TOS.
Subject to the terms of these TOS, We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Safe Wi-Fi app and the Software solely as authorized under your data plan and the Customer Agreement. Please also see the "Data Services" section of the Verizon Wireless Important Plan Information document to learn more about permitted and prohibited data uses. All rights regarding use of the Safe Wi-Fi app and Software not expressly granted in this Agreement are reserved by us and/or any of Verizon's third-party licensors.
You may not adapt, alter, modify, reverse engineer, de-compile, disassemble, translate, attempt to derive source code from or create derivative works of the Safe Wi-Fi app or Software, or otherwise tamper with or modify any security features or other service components for any reason (or allow or help anyone else to do so). You also agree to follow all rules and policies applicable to the Safe Wi-Fi app, including the installation of required or automated updates, modifications and/or reinstallations of Software and obtaining available patches to address security, interoperability and/or performance issues.
Some third-party materials included with the Software may include software source code licensed by third parties under one or more open-source or free-software licenses, including the GNU General Public License, which are considered "Open Source Software." The Open Source Software is licensed under terms and conditions different from this Agreement and may, in some cases, conflict with the terms of these TOS and will apply instead of the terms of these TOS. If an Open Source Software license requires us to distribute any source code related to the Software or Services or any modifications to the Software or Services, we will make the source code available on request. - PRIVACY AND SECURITY. The Safe Wi-Fi app utilizes proprietary technology to allow users to create a secure Wi-Fi connection with a VPN on their mobile device. The Safe Wi-Fi app uses information obtained from your device, including IP address and Wi-Fi access point data, to establish and provide the VPN service. The Safe Wi-Fi app collects your mobile number, which is used to confirm your eligibility to use Safe Wi-Fi and for billing purposes. Neither Verizon nor its third party licensor(s) or vendors access or collect any information that you send or receive through your Safe Wi-Fi secure connection.
