Loss of Content; Security

The Developer utilizes industry standard reliability and security measures in an attempt to protect and preserve your data, however, due to the relative insecurity of any information which is transmitted over the internet (and over wireless networks or intranets in connection with transmission to or from the internet), stored on servers which are accessible via the internet and other means, it is impossible to guarantee complete security.

If you take advantage of features allowing you to customize and configure a Heyo application itself, you will bear the full risk for security risks resulting from configuration choices made by you, as some changes can take the ability to provide any security for the application out of our control. Additionally, if our servers or the servers of third party providers fail or become corrupt, we may lose and be unable to retrieve data you have submitted via the Software Application.

Additionally, if your account is closed for any reason, your content within the Software Application will be lost and/or inaccessible, and mobile applications, websites and/or fanpages you have created, as applicable, will no longer display. Therefore, we urge you to maintain copies of all content submitted by you for your own protection.

Heyo Social Subject to Actions and Decisions of Facebook

Due to the nature of our Heyo Social Software Application(s) and the services provided thereby, we are subject to the rules, policies and technology of facebook, and its sole determination of how to interpret and apply those rules and policies. We are not affiliated with facebook and it is possible that facebook may change its policies and technologies so that the Heyo Social Software Application(s) no longer functions in the same manner or at all.

In some cases facebook technology or policy changes may result in loss of your content or other data, for which we are not responsible. We make no warranty that facebook will not take such action. In the event of such changes, if commercially and reasonably practical (in our determination), we will attempt to update or revise the Heyo Social Software Application(s) so as to provide the same or substantially similar functionality as provided before such changes.

However, if we are unable to do so within a reasonable amount of time, we may elect to cancel your Account and refund a pro rata portion of Fees paid in advance for remaining pre-paid time in any period(s) in which such cancellation becomes effective.

We may apply this cancellation on an application-by-application basis, so that if one Software Application for which you have paid cannot be made substantially effective, but other Software Application(s) can, we may cancel only the first Software Application and retain your Account for the remaining.

Heyo Mobile and Heyo Web Subject to Platform and Vendor Requirements

The mobile applications and web sites created through our Heyo Mobile and Heyo Web are created to function across a wide variety of mobile devices, browsers and software configurations ("platforms"). However, we cannot guarantee that they will function on all such platforms, and may function only partially or differently on some than on others.

In addition, when hardware manufacturers or software developers make changes to their devices or software, as applicable, this can affect the functionality and appearance of the mobile applications and web sites. Mobile applications for Apple devices are subject to an approval process controlled by Apple Inc. and we cannot guarantee acceptance and publication in the Apple App Store or other third party marketplaces subject to approval processes or other requirements.

Customization of Your Application May Increase Security or Incompatibility Issues

Features of certain of our products provide you with significant ability to configure and customize the application itself. We believe that this feature is a great benefit to many of our customers who wish to exercise such a level of control. However, this level of control and customization is not without risks.

If you take advantage of this feature, you may make selections which decrease the security of the application (and your content and other account data), and may cause the application to later be incompatible with updates we make to the Software Application(s). This may result in mobile applications, websites and/or fanpages, as applicable, no longer being displayed or other issues with mobile applications, websites and/or fanpages, as applicable and content created or stored with your customized application.

We are not responsible for security, incompatibility or functionality issues caused or increased by such customization by you or your agents.
