This Spekit Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) applies to the use of any product, service, or website provided by us, Spekit Inc. (“Spekit”), whether we provide it directly or use another party to provide it to you (the “Service”). Your use of the Service may also be subject to additional terms and conditions, including without limitation any terms and conditions or customer agreement by and between Spekit and the applicable account holder for the Service. We cannot provide the Service unless you agree to this AUP. By using the Service, you are agreeing to these terms.

While Spekit endeavors to provide this AUP to assist customers and users with compliance with the laws, regulations, and best practices that apply to the Service, you are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service complies with all laws, rules, and regulations that apply to you, including by taking all necessary steps that are not set forth in this AUP.  Any information provided here is provided as a limited resource and does not constitute legal advice. If you have further questions about any applicable laws, rules, regulations, or best practices, we encourage you to contact an attorney in your area who is familiar with the applicable law, rule, or regulation.

Scope.  If you are using the Service, this AUP applies to you.  All terms of this AUP also apply to all users authorized by the customer to use the Service (“Authorized Users”), and each customer is responsible for the acts and omissions of their Authorized Users with respect to this AUP as if performed by the customer.

Enforcement. We will enforce and ensure compliance with this AUP by using methods we consider to be appropriate. We may immediately suspend or terminate your access to, or use of, Spekit Services for violations of this AUP or if you don’t respond to us in a reasonable period after we’ve contacted you about a potential breach of this AUP.

We are not obligated, but may choose to, remove any prohibited materials and deny access to any person who violates this AUP. We further reserve all other rights and remedies.

If you breach this AUP, we may terminate your subscription agreement for cause. You are not allowed to assist or engage others in a way that would violate this AUP.

Updates. We periodically update this AUP, and we will let you know when we do so through the Service, by posting a revised copy on our website, or such other method we determine is reasonable. We may update and change any part of this AUP. You agree to review the AUP on a regular basis and ensure you and your Authorized Users, if applicable, always remain in compliance.
