LICENSE AND TERMS OF USE

vCalc LLC (hereinafter "vCalc") makes available for your use on this website the information contained herein, including, but not limited to the data items, data, tables, equations, calculators, vectors, and blog and forum entries (hereinafter “Tokens”). Use of this website and the Tokens contained or accessed therein is subject to the terms and conditions in this terms of use. By accessing and using this website, you agree to the terms of use set forth below (the “Terms of Use”). At its sole discretion, vCalc reserves the right to change, at any time, in whole or in part, the Terms of Use. Your use of this web site and the Tokens available therein are subject to the most recent version of these Terms of Use and, if applicable, any licenses or other agreements executed by you and vCalc relating to the use of Tokens (“vCalc License(s)”). Breach by you of any provision of the Terms of Use will terminate your authorization to use this website or any of the Tokens, and subject you to other potential remedies.

  1. SERVICE. Each visitor to the vCalc website must accept the “Terms of Use and Disclaimer Acknowledgment” to become a registered user (hereinafter “Registered User”). Only Registered Users will be able to view and create Tokens. A Registered User may use the various tools in the vCalc system to author a Token. Each Token is given a vCalc identifier and is assigned to the author. The author can edit the content of the Token and retain the content within their private library hosted by vCalc. As the author of a Token, a Registered User has the ability to share the Token with the vCalc community. This can be done by designating specific other vCalc users who will be able to see and use the Token, or by making the Token accessible to the general public. Although vCalc does not take an editorial role in the creation and editing of Tokens, and without any compensation or other additional benefit, vCalc reserves the right to review and scan all content uploaded to vCalc, including, but not limited to content stored in the private libraries of Registered Users for the purpose of preventing prohibited and illegal content and restricted activity and for any vCalc marketing and advertising initiatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Registered User is legally responsible for his or her own Tokens, edits and content.
  2. RESTRICTED USES. The following general areas, whether legal or illegal, are restricted and any visitor or user of the vCalc website and the tools and Tokens thereon shall not attempt to use vCalc to generate or promote the following material or engage in the following activities:
    1. Harassment: Harassment, threats, stalking, spamming or vandalism
    2. Unrelated, Abusive, Dangerous and Obscene Content: Unrelated to math and science, chain mail, junk mail, spam, data and calculations for dangerous devices and materials, pornography, nudity and sexually graphic images and verbiage
    3. False Statements, Impersonation or Fraud: Libel, defamation, deception, misrepresentation, impersonation and fraud
    4. Illegality: Use inconsistent with all applicable law, viruses, malware, worms, scrapping or other automated programs and tampering
  3. USE OF CONTENT/TOKENS. Each Registered User agrees, in accordance with the terms of vCalc’s Privacy Policy, (1), with respect to any Token made accessible to the general public, to adhere to the Creative Common Attribution - ShareAlike License and to grant permission to vCalc and the general public to re-distribute and re-use the Tokens freely and without compensation, so long as each Token re-distributed is properly identified and attributed to the authoring Registered User and (2) to permit the use of all uploaded material and Tokens by vCalc.
  4. DMCA COMPLIANCE. vCalc wants to ensure that the hosted content can be re-used by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers.

    5. However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the Chilling Effects (//www.chillingeffects.org/) website.

    If you are the owner of content included on our website that is being improperly used without your permission, you may request that the content be removed under the DMCA. To make such a request, please e-mail us at abuse@vcalc.com or mail our designated agent at this address.

    Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, look here. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at community@vcalc.com.
