This SC Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") applies to the use of any product, service or website provided by us (SC), whether we provide it directly or use another party to provide it to you (each, a "SC Service"). This AUP is designed to ensure compliance with the laws and regulations that apply to the SC Service. This AUP also protects the interests of all of our clients and their customers, as well as our goodwill and reputation. These terms are so important that we cannot provide the SC Service unless you agree to them. By using the SC Service, you are agreeing to these terms.
If you are using the SC Service, this AUP applies to you. Every client of ours agrees to abide by this AUP and is responsible for any violations. You are not allowed to assist or engage others in a way that would violate this AUP. We will enforce and ensure compliance with this AUP by using methods we consider to be appropriate, such as complaint and email failure monitoring. We may also suspend or terminate your use of SC Services pursuant to our Customer Terms of Service for violations of this AUP.
We periodically update these terms and we will let you know when we do through in-app notifications, or by posting a revised copy on our website. You agree to review the AUP on a regular basis and always remain in compliance.
You are responsible for the content of your communications which you contribute or send via the Service, and they must:
- be accurate (where they state facts);
- be genuinely held (where they state opinions); and
- comply with all applicable law in any country from which they are posted.

- is threatening, abusive, harassing, stalking, or defamatory;
- is deceptive, false, misleading or fraudulent;
- is invasive of another's privacy or otherwise violates another’s legal rights (such as rights of privacy and publicity);
- contains vulgar, obscene, indecent or unlawful material;
- infringes a third party's intellectual property right(s);
- publishes, posts, uploads, or otherwise distributes any software, music, videos, or other material protected by intellectual property laws (or by rights of privacy or publicity) unless you have all necessary rights and consents to do so;

You also agree not to remove or alter any of these items as we may have provided or enabled.
We may immediately suspend your access to the SC Service if you breach this AUP or don’t respond to us in a reasonable period after we’ve contacted you about a potential breach of this AUP. We may also suspend your access as we explain in our Customer Terms of Service and, if you breach this AUP, we may terminate your subscription agreement for cause. You acknowledge we may disclose information regarding your use of any SC Service to satisfy any law, regulation, government request, court order, subpoena or other legal process. If we make this type of required disclosure we will notify you, unless we are required to keep the disclosure confidential.
We are not obligated to, but may choose to, remove any prohibited materials and deny access to any person who violates this AUP. We further reserve all other rights.
We may update and change any part or all of this AUP. If we update or change this AUP, the updated AUP will be posted here. If you have an SC subscription, we will let you know through the in-app Notifications. We encourage you to review this AUP periodically.

During monitoring, any information relating to any user or their respective activities on the SC Service may be examined, recorded, copied, and used to enforce these Terms of Use. Furthermore, SC reserves the right at all times to disclose any information posted on any portion of the SC Service or traceable through the SC Service as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation or governmental request or to enforce any applicable laws or proprietary rights or right of publication of SC, or to refuse to post, or to remove, any information or materials, in whole or in part, that in SC’s sole and absolute discretion are objectionable or in violation of these Terms of Use.
