THE GIST

We (the folks at Adedia Inc.) run a website/ web application service called eStrata and would love for you to use it. We've included a quick summary to answer any immediate questions, but we encourage you to read the Terms of Service in their entirety.

In summary:

  • We do not own any of the content you upload to your eStrata application. You are responsible for any content (e.g. text, images, comments) that you post, so please be respectful of copyright laws and rights to privacy.
  • We try to ensure the data we collect is stored as securely as possible.
  • We do not intend to disclose any of your personal information and will protect it to the best of our abilities.
  • Adedia uses third party partners to provide some of the technology we need to offer the eStrata service. These third parties have no access to personal information beyond what is required to provide their services.
  • The eStrata service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

We own our stuff; you own yours.

Your acceptance of this TOS gives us the permission to do so and grants us any such rights necessary to provide the service to you, only for the purpose of providing the service (and for no other purpose). This permission includes allowing us to use third-party service providers (such as Amazon Web Services whose servers are located in the United States of America) in the operation and administration of the service and the rights granted to us are extended to these third parties to the degree necessary in order for the service to be provided. These rights and permissions are not permanent; they terminate when you remove all or part of your content from the application.
