Welcome to Novosi! We’re committed to building technologies intended to improve people’s lives. TCD is a video conferencing platform designed to help individuals connect with each other, both formally and informally, and to allow businesses and professionals to connect with their customers, prospects, and clients.
Please carefully read through this License and Terms of Service (“Agreement”), since they are a binding agreement between the individual or company signing up for the Services (“you” or derivatives thereof) and Novosi, LLC (“Novosi,” “Company,” “we,” or derivatives thereof). The Agreement is effective when you sign up online (by clicking “I Accept” or similar language) or otherwise use any of the Services or access any content or material that is made available by Novosi through the Services (the “Content”). If you are signing up on behalf of a company or other entity, you individually warrant and represent that you are properly exercising your authority to bind such company or entity.
This Agreement incorporates our Privacy Policy. You acknowledge that you have read and understood the Agreement and agree to be bound by it. If you don’t agree with (or cannot comply with) the Agreement, then you may not use the Service or consume any Content.
The term “Services” includes all the software, applications, widgets, tools, and functionality made available through the Services, including our website, platform, help desk system, connectivity API’s, and related support services. Any new features which augment or enhance the current Services, including the release of new features or products, including those that require additional fees, are also included in the term “Services.” The term “Services” does not include any services rendered by users, whether individuals or business entities, to you or any third party.
NOVOSI OFFERS A TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION INTENDED TO FACILITATE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS, BETWEEN COMPANIES, AND BETWEEN ALL KINDS OF BUSINESSES AND PROFESSIONALS INTERACTING WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS, PROSPECTS, AND CLIENTS. HOWEVER, NOVOSI DOES NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR DIRECT THE DELIVERY OF ANY SERVICES BY ITS USERS. YOU AGREE TO HOLD NOVOSI HARMLESS FROM ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE USE OF THE SERVICES BY ANY USER, INCLUDING THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY USER, WHETHER THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED IN A PERSONAL, BUSINESS, OR MEDICAL CONTEXT. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SERVICES ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO OPERATE IN ANY SPECIFIC MANNER AND THAT NOVOSI WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FINANCIAL, BUSINESS, MEDICAL, PERSONAL, OR OTHER CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY ARISE IF THE SERVICES FAIL OR ARE IMPAIRED FOR ANY REASON.
Your use of the Services may involve the processing of information concerning you or your business that you input into the Services (“Your Data”). You exclusively own Your Data.
Certain portions of the Services allow you or you and the individuals with whom you interact using the Services to process, share, or upload information concerning you and your interactions with them (“User Content”). This information may include those parties names, street addresses, birth dates, e-mail addresses, and other information such as video, audio, images, ideas, links, notes, drawings, artwork, and graphics regarding you and other users that is transmitted or recorded using the Services. The User Content is subject to applicable law and belongs in general to that party generating the information, but as between Company and you, except for the license herein, Company disclaims ownership of the User Content.
Novosi may provide the Services in a “peer-to-peer” environment, meaning the communications made using the Services, including Your Data and User Content, do not pass through any servers and are not recorded. It may also provide the Services via servers configured for that purpose and managed by Novosi. Regardless of how the Services are configured, you will nevertheless continue to be the owner of Your Data and User Content.
You represent and warrant that, with respect to any User Content you post or process using the Services, (1) you have the necessary permissions and legal right to post or process such User Content, and (2) such User Content, or its use by Company as contemplated by the Agreement, does not violate the Agreement, applicable law, or the privacy rights of your prospects or other individuals or entities.
You grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, assignable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use User Content and Your Data in connection with the Services that we provide to you.
Your use of the Services may involve other technical information, such as when you access the Services, what types of devices you use, which pages you visit on our website, and similar information. This information is referred to herein as “Usage Data.” We own the Usage Data, free of any claim by you. Usage Data does not include any of Your Data or User Content, except to the extent Your Data and User Content is de-identified and aggregated, and to that extent, we own the Usage Data and may use it for any of our lawful business and research purposes.
If you send us any comments, materials, or letters including, without limitation, questions, comments, suggestions, criticisms or the like (“Received Materials”), those Received Materials may be deemed by us to be non-confidential and free of any claims of proprietary or personal rights. Company shall have no obligation of any kind with respect to such Received Materials, and Company will be free to reproduce, use, disclose, exhibit, display, transform, edit, abridge, create derivative works from and/or distribute the Received Materials without limitation or restriction. Furthermore, Company is free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in any communication you send to Company for any purpose whatsoever, including, but not limited to, developing, manufacturing, and marketing products using such information or ideas, without compensation or any other obligations to anyone, including you.
At certain times, we may in our discretion need to make revisions to this Agreement. If we do, we will post or provide appropriate notice, such as by posting notices on the website via banner ads or otherwise or by e-mailing you, as appropriate in the circumstances. If you continue using the Services after the effective date of the changes, you will be deemed to have accepted the revisions. If you do not agree to the revisions, you may no longer use the Services. Any other changes to this Agreement must be in writing signed by both parties.
Certain of our Services are offered without charge for a period of time and then require payment of a fee. For others, you are required to pay a subscription fee (“Fee”) from the beginning. The description of which Services are free for a time and which Services require the payment of Fees are described when you sign up, and the Services and the Fees payable may change from time to time with or without notice.
When you sign up using a credit card or other payment method, you authorize us to make the charges disclosed to you at the time you sign up, including recurring payments, where applicable.
From time to time, we or others on our behalf may offer access to beta models of the Services or trials of paid subscriptions for a specified period without payment or at a reduced rate (each, a “Trial”). We reserve the right, in our absolute discretion, to determine your eligibility for a Trial, and, subject to applicable laws, to withdraw or to modify a Trial at any time without prior notice and with no liability, to the greatest extent permitted under the law.
For some Trials, we’ll require you to provide your payment details to start the Trial. AT THE END OF SUCH TRIALS, WE MAY AUTOMATICALLY START TO CHARGE YOU THE APPLICABLE FEES ON THE FIRST DAY FOLLOWING THE END OF THE TRIAL, ON A RECURRING MONTHLY BASIS. BY PROVIDING YOUR PAYMENT DETAILS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE TRIAL, YOU AGREE TO THIS CHARGE USING SUCH PAYMENT DETAILS. IF YOU DO NOT WANT THIS CHARGE, YOU MUST CANCEL THE APPLICABLE PAID SUBSCRIPTION THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT’S SUBSCRIPTION PAGE OR TERMINATE YOUR ACCOUNT BEFORE THE END OF THE TRIAL. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE TO BE CHARGED ON A RECURRING MONTHLY BASIS, YOU MUST CANCEL THE APPLICABLE PAID SUBSCRIPTION THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT’S SUBSCRIPTION PAGE OR TERMINATE YOUR ACCOUNT BEFORE THE END OF THE RECURRING MONTHLY PERIOD. PAID SUBSCRIPTIONS CANNOT BE TERMINATED BEFORE THE END OF THE PERIOD FOR WHICH YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID, AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, WE WILL NOT REFUND ANY FEES THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID.
IF THE TRIAL CONSISTS OF ACCESS TO A BETA MODEL, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE BETA MODEL HAS NOT BEEN FULLY DEVELOPED AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO DEFECTS THAT WOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE IN A FULLY DEVELOPED VERSION. YOU AGREE THAT THE LICENSE GRANTED UNDER A BETA TRIAL IS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY NATURE, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND MERCHANTABILITY, AS WELL AS NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY OTHER WARRANTY. BETA USERS HAVE NO CLAIM WHATSOEVER AGAINST US FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER.
Company hereby grants you, subject to this Agreement, a limited non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, license to use the Services for your internal business and personal purposes. You have no rights in the Services other than as expressly provided in this Agreement. You may not download any portion of the website or use of any Services other than for your own personal business use. You may not use any data mining, robots, or similar data gathering tools or otherwise exploit your access to the Services for any commercial purpose. You may not use any of the trademarks, logos, or other proprietary graphics without express written permission, which may be denied in Company’s absolute discretion. Company’s logos and product and service names are trademarks of Company. All other trademarks appearing on the website or in connection with the Services are trademarks of their respective owners, and our reference to them does not imply or indicate any approval or endorsement by their owners unless such approval or endorsement is expressly made.
In addition to any other things that might constitute a misuse of the Services, you must not, and must not attempt to do the following things:
The Services may be integrated with third-party applications, websites, and services, such as Google Maps, electronic health records, and similar applications and tools (“Third Party Applications”) to make available content, products, and/or services to you. These Third-Party Applications may have their own terms and conditions of use and privacy policies and your use of these Third-Party Applications will be governed by and subject to such terms and conditions and privacy policies. You understand and agree that we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for the behavior, features, or content of any Third-Party Application or for any transaction you may enter into with the provider of any such Third-Party Applications.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account information, including your login and password, and for restricting access to your computer, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password. Company reserves the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content in its sole discretion. You are also solely responsible for the accuracy and currency of the data entered into the Services under your user account. You agree to indemnify and hold Company harmless from and against any claim related to content, accuracy, or currency of the information you provide through the Services.
The Services may provide you with the opportunity to invite your employees and other service providers (“Collaborators”) to access Your Data and User Content associated with your account. If this functionality is made available to you and you use this functionality, you shall be solely responsible for the actions of your Collaborators. Company may limit the number of licensees with whom an individual Collaborator may collaborate and may require a Collaborator to obtain a paid license at any time, in Company’s sole and absolute discretion. Collaborators are not third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and are not entitled to any remedies or rights under this Agreement.
10.1 Confidential Information. During the term of this Agreement, each party or its employees, consultants, or agents may receive information of the other party that is proprietary or confidential (“Confidential Information”). Each party agrees to hold the Confidential Information of the other party in confidence and not to disclose such Confidential Information to any third parties except as expressly authorized by this Agreement or to use such Confidential Information for purposes outside the scope of this Agreement. Each party may disclose the Confidential Information of the other party only to its employees, consultants and agents who need to know such Confidential Information for the purposes of this agreement and who are subject to confidentiality obligations at least as protective of the Confidential Information as those set out herein. Each party will advise its employees, consultants and agents of their responsibilities under this Agreement and be responsible for any breach of this section by its employees, consultants or agents. Confidential Information shall not include information that is: (a) part of, or becomes part of, the public domain (other than by disclosure by the receiving party in violation of this Agreement); (b) previously known to the receiving party without an obligation of confidentiality; (c) independently developed by the receiving party outside this Agreement; (d) rightfully obtained by the receiving party from third parties without an obligation of confidentiality; or (e) otherwise addressed in this Agreement.
10.2 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may disclose the Confidential Information of the other party to the extent such disclosure is required to comply with applicable law or the valid order or requirement of a governmental or regulatory agency or court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the disclosing party (a) restricts such disclosure to the maximum extent legally permissible; (b) notifies the party to whom the Confidential Information belongs as soon as practicable of any such requirement; and (c) that subject to such disclosure, such disclosed materials shall in all respects remain subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement.
10.3 Remedies. The parties acknowledge that their respective Confidential Information is unique and valuable, and that breach by a party of the obligations of this section regarding the other party’s Confidential Information could result in irreparable injury to the other party for which monetary damages alone would not be an adequate remedy. Therefore, the parties agree that in the event of a breach or anticipated breach of this section, the affected party shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach or anticipated breach without the necessity of posting a bond. Any such relief shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any appropriate relief in the way of monetary damages.
The Services and all copyrights, trade secrets and other proprietary rights therein, including any derivative work, are, and will remain the sole property of Company, regardless of the use made by you; and are protected by certain United States and international copyright laws and trademark laws. The Services are licensed, not sold, to you. This Agreement confers no title of ownership in the Services and are not a sale of any rights in the Services, including any intellectual property rights related thereto.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES AND EVERY ELEMENT THEREOF ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, ORAL, WRITTEN, STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT OR GUARANTEE THE AVAILABILITY, CURRENCY, COMPLETENESS, ACCURACY, OR TRUTHFULNESS OF ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ALL ERRORS CAN BE CORRECTED, OR THAT OPERATION OF THE WEBSITE AND/OR DELIVERY OF THE SERVICES SHALL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. Because some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, such limitation may not apply in its entirety to Licensee. Any warranties made in this Agreement are for your benefit only.
IN NO EVENT WILL COMPANY, ITS SUPPLIERS, SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OF OR RELIANCE UPON THE SERVICES, EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL COMPANY’S TOTAL LIABILITY OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT AND USE OF THE SERVICES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTY CLAIMS), REGARDLESS OF THE FORUM AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY ACTION OR CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU DURING THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO SUCH CLAIM ARISING. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE AND CONTINUE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT DESPITE ANY FAILURE OF CONSIDERATION OR OF AN EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PRICES HAVE BEEN SET AND THE AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO IN RELIANCE UPON THESE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND THAT ALL SUCH LIMITATIONS FORM AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SUCH LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY.
Company will make reasonable efforts to keep the Services operational. However, certain technical difficulties or maintenance may, from time to time, result in temporary interruptions. To the extent permissible under applicable law, we reserve the right, periodically and at any time, to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, functions and features of the Services, with or without notice, all without liability to you, except where prohibited by law, for any interruption, modification, or discontinuation of the Services or any function or feature thereof.

This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon the breach of any material provision of this Agreement that is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice of breach. However, in the event of termination for any reason, you acknowledge and agree that the perpetual license granted by you in relation to User Content is irrevocable and will therefore continue after expiry or termination of this Agreement. We may terminate this Agreement or suspend your access to the Services at any time, and with or without notice, in the event of your actual or suspected unauthorized use of the Services and/or Content or your failure to make payment as required. You may terminate this Agreement at any time, but in no event shall you receive a refund of Fees, whether paid in arrears or in advance.
