The Application is a software tool developed and owned by the Company to help identify and submit reports (“Reports”) of instances of any kind of inappropriate conduct or other behavioral concerns (collectively, “Inappropriate Conduct”) through the use of various features of the Application.
Application Features
The Application is designed to provide other additional features (collectively, “Application Features”), such as:
Get Help Resources, which is intended to cover the addition by your Organization of one or more third party services that your Organization considers useful or otherwise appropriate for providing counseling, support or other related services, such as, for example, a third party crisis center (collectively, “Third Party Services”). This may also include Third Party Services made available via the Company.
Messenger Feature intended to allow you to engage in chats with representatives of your Organization.
However, what Application Features may be made available to you may be determined by your Organization. Because your Organization may elect not to provide certain Application Features or may have the ability to activate or deactivate certain Application Features, the Company cannot guarantee that all Application Features will be available to you. You acknowledge and agree that the Company has no responsibility, and will bear no liability, for your Organization’s decision to select, activate or deactivate any particular Application Feature that is subject to selection, activation or deactivation by your Organization.
You further acknowledge and agree that:
The actual provision, operation and quality of certain services that may be made available via certain Application Features will be the sole and exclusive responsibility of your Organization or selected third parties. For example, your Organization will be solely and exclusively responsible for providing any required or requested assistance, or answering any questions you may have made through the Messenger Feature. The Company has no responsibility, and will bear no liability, for the actual provision, operation or quality, including without limitation, response time, of any such services provided by your Organization via any Application Features. Further, neither the Company nor your Organization will be responsible, or bear any liability, for any acts or omissions of any Third Party Services. The Application serves only as a tool to enable your Organization to provide such services.
The ability to effectively use certain Application Features will depend on various technical factors that are not within the Company’s control and for which the Company has no responsibility and will bear no liability. Such factors include, without limitation, the availability and quality of third party network services, Internet connectivity and reception and the quality and features of any equipment, such as mobile phones or tablets, which you employ to access and use the Application and Application Features.
Unless you include your name or other identifying information, all Reports of Inappropriate Conduct or Messenger chats that you send by using the Application will be anonymous, and the Company will not have the ability to disclose your identity to your Organization or to any third party. Further, because the Company is committed to protecting your anonymity, even if you elect to include your name or other identifying information in a Report or Messenger chat, Company will not disclose your identity to your Organization or to any third party without your prior written authorization. Additionally, the Company will not be responsible for any disclosure of your identity that results from information you voluntarily provide or from other circumstances beyond the Company’s control. Further, Company reserves the right to cooperate fully with any law enforcement authorities or court orders requesting or directing Company to disclose the identity of anyone using the Application in an inappropriate manner, or to enforce these Terms of Use.
