Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of SNOW Corp. (“SNOW”) services (“Services” or “SNOW”), and any information, text, graphics, photos or other materials uploaded, downloaded or appearing on the SNOW (collectively referred to as "Content") referencing these Terms. You can’t use our SNOW unless you agree to them, so please read them carefully. Before using any of the SNOW, you are required to read, understand and agree to these terms. You may only access the SNOW after reading and accepting these Terms of Use.

1. Your Agreement With SNOW.

1) Any information that you provide to SNOW is subject to our Privacy Policy, which governs our collection and use of your information. You understand that through your use of the Services you consent to the collection and use (as set forth in the Privacy Policy) of this information, including the transfer of this information to the United States and/or other countries for storage, processing and use by SNOW. As part of providing you the Services, we may need to provide you with certain communications, such as service announcements and administrative messages. These communications are considered part of the Services and your SNOW account, which you may not be able to opt-out from receiving.

2. Privacy

The SNOW Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms. By accepting these Terms, you agree to the collection, use, and sharing of your information through the Services in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

3. User Content

The Services consist of interactive features and areas that allow users to create, post, transmit, and/or store content, including but not limited to photos, videos, text, graphics, items, or other materials (collectively, "User Content"). You understand that you are responsible for all data charges you incur by using the Services. You also understand that your User Content may be viewable by others and that you have the ability to control who can access such content by adjusting your privacy settings. And you agree to abide by our Community Guidelines, which may be updated from time to time.

You agree that you are solely responsible for your User Content and any claims arising therefrom, and that SNOW is not responsible or liable for any User Content or claims arising therefrom. While we are not obligated to do so, we reserve the right, and have absolute discretion, to review, screen, and delete User Content at any time and for any reason.

You retain all ownership rights in your User Content. However, by submitting User Content to SNOW, you hereby grant us an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, edit, publish, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, promote, exhibit, and display such User Content in any and all media or distribution methods, now known or later developed (the "User Content License"), subject to any privacy settings you have set to control who can see your User Content.

4. Community Guidelines

Our goal in creating these rules is to accommodate the broadest range of self expression while balancing the need for SNOW users to be able to use our service safely and enjoyably.

Don’t send people messages they don’t want to receive―especially if the message is mean.Be thoughtful about what you send a message and whom you send it to.

Be thoughtful about what you send a message and whom you send it to. It’s okay with us if someone takes a screenshot, but we can’t speak for you or your friends. SNOW attempts to detect screenshots and notify the sender, but it doesn’t always work perfectly - and your friend can always capture the image with a camera.

Keep it legal. Don’t use SNOW for any illegal shenanigans and if you’re under 18 or are messaging with someone who might be: keep your clothes on!

What not to send:

• - Pornography
• - Nudity or sexually suggestive content involving minors (people under the age of 18)
• - Minors engaged in activities that are physically dangerous and harmful
• - Invasions of privacy
• - Threats
• - Harassment or Bullying
• - Impersonation
• - Self-Harm

- Violating these rules may result in the removal of content, the suspension of your account and being prohibited from using SNOW in the future. 

In addition, the SNOW service supports creators to publish and post content, and allows user to utilize content produced by the creator. The content provided is strictly managed through internal standards, following the privacy policy and terms and conditions of SNOW so that there aren't any problematic content.

Please take these rules seriously and honor them in the spirit in which they are intended. The rules will change and evolve along with the SNOW user community. We will do our best to enforce them consistently and fairly, and ultimately we’ll try to do what we think is best in each situation, at our own discretion.

5. Feedback

You agree that any feedback, suggestions, ideas, or other information or materials regarding SNOW or the Services that you provide, whether by email or otherwise ("Feedback"), are non-confidential and shall become the sole property of SNOW.
