By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions described in these Terms. If you do not agree to all of these terms and conditions, do not use our Service.
Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information on how we collect, use and disclose information from our users.
Revisions to Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time, and we will try to provide you with at least seven (7) days advance notice prior to any new terms taking effect. However, in some situations, such as where a change is required to satisfy applicable legal requirements, an update to these Terms may need to be effective immediately. We may announce changes through the BNote site, and/or by sending an email to the address you have provided to us. After we have updated these Terms, you may continue to access or use our Service after those revisions become effective, in which case you have agreed to be bound by the revised terms, or you can immediately stop using our Service.
Use of the Service- License Grants
Our Service allows you to store, access, organize, view, display, and share Content (as defined below) through our web based and mobile software applications (the "BNote Software").
So long as you are not prohibited from using the Service under the laws of your jurisdiction, we grant you a revocable, limited, non-exclusive license to use the Service subject to these Terms until you choose to terminate your use of the Service (by not using the service or terminating your account) or until we terminate/ suspend your Account (as defined below) pursuant to these Terms.
In addition, we grant you a personal, worldwide, revocable, royalty-free, non-assignable and nonexclusive license to use BNote Software provided to you by or on behalf of UNITECH, for the sole purpose of enabling you to use BNote Software and access the Service, subject to any applicable license terms provided with BNote Software and these Terms, until your rights are terminated in accordance with such license and/or these Terms. You do not obtain any other right or interest in BNote Software or the Service. If you download BNote Software to your mobile device or computer, you may be asked to agree to an end user license agreement ("EULA"). The EULA will take precedence if there is a conflict between the terms contained in the EULA and these Terms, but only to the extent of such conflict.
You may not: (i) copy, modify or distribute BNote Software for any purpose; (ii) transfer, sublicense, lease, lend, rent or otherwise distribute BNote Software or the Service to any third party; (iii) decompile, reverse-engineer, disassemble, or create derivative works of BNote Software or the Service; or (iv) use BNote Software or Service in any unlawful manner, for any unlawful purpose, or in any manner inconsistent with these Terms.
Obtaining equipment such as a mobile device, and paying for connectivity and data plans is your responsibility. BNote has no responsibility for the availability of the Internet and other telecommunication services necessary to access the Service.
Creating a BNote Account
You may need to register and create an account ("Account") in order to use those aspects of our Services which require the creation of an Account.
If you are under the age of 13 and reside in the United States, you are prohibited from creating an account and using the Service. If you are between the ages of 13 and 17, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms.
If you reside outside the United States, by creating an Account and using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or over and have the right, authority and capacity to enter into these Terms, or you are the legal age required to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction.
When creating an Account, you may be required to provide certain personal information about yourself. You will also need to establish a username and a password. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information about your Account.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Account if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, false or misleading or to reclaim any username that you create through the Service that violates our Terms. You are responsible for maintaining the accuracy, completeness, and confidentiality of your Account and you will be responsible for all activities that occur under your Account, including activities of others to whom you have provided access to your Account. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to provide us with accurate information or to keep your Account secure. If you discover any unauthorized use of your Account or suspect that anyone may be able to access your private Content, you should immediately change your password and notify us via email to unitech.in@live.com .
You can link your Account to various webmail, social networking, and other online accounts. You may only link your own accounts. We will access and retrieve your account information from these sites on your behalf (in some cases, by using your username and password) to make certain information or services available to you through the Service. By linking your other accounts, you expressly authorize us to access your account information from those third party accounts, on your behalf as your agent and permit us to access, use and, in some cases, store your account information to accomplish the foregoing.
Your Content
Our Service allows you and other users to store, access, organize, view, display, share and otherwise make available and access certain information, images, videos, text and/or other content ("Content"). You are responsible for the Content that you submit to the Service, including its legality, reliability, and appropriateness. You retain any and all of your rights to any Content you submit, post or display on or through the Service and you are responsible for protecting those rights.
However, in order for us to provide Services to you, we must obtain from you certain rights and licenses to the Content you submit. These rights and licenses are necessary so that our storage, access, distribution, reproduction, processing, and related handling of your Content in order to provide Services to you does not infringe copyright and other related laws. Therefore, by using the Service, you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, fully paid and royalty-free, worldwide right and license to modify, delete from, add to, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, translate, distribute, and otherwise use your Content on and through the Service, except that the use of your Content will be subject to your privacy settings. Subject to your privacy settings, you agree that this license includes the right for us to make your Content available to other users of the Service, who may also use your Content subject to these Terms. You also agree that BNote has the right to elect not to accept, post, store, display, publish or transmit any Content in our sole discretion. The license you grant to BNote in connection with your Content ends when you delete your Content or your Account unless your Content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
You agree that these rights and licenses include a right for BNote to make such Content available to, and pass these rights along to, others with whom BNote has contractual relationships related to the provision of the Service, solely for the purpose of providing such services, and to otherwise permit access to or disclose your Content to third parties if BNote determines such access is necessary to comply with its legal obligations.
If you elect to use any third party service or application that is integrated with BNote, you also agree that the licenses granted to BNote in the preceding paragraph shall apply to Content that is submitted or uploaded through such third party service or application. If the third party service or application you elect to use would access or extract Content, you grant BNote the right and license to enable such access to your Content.
You represent and warrant that: (i) the Content is yours (you own it) or you have the right to use it and grant us the rights and license as provided in these Terms, and (ii) the posting of your Content on or through the Service does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights or any other rights of any person.
We don't have an obligation to monitor your access to or use of the Service or to review or edit any Content, but we have the right to do so for the purpose of operating the Service, to ensure your compliance with these Terms, or to comply with applicable law or the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency or other governmental body. We reserve the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Content, that we consider, in our sole discretion, to be in violation of these Terms or otherwise harmful to the Service.
Removing Content
You can remove Content that you posted by specifically deleting it. In certain instances, however, some Content (such as posts or comments you make) may not be completely removed and copies of your Content may continue to exist on the Service and/or elsewhere. We are not responsible or liable for the removal or deletion of (or the failure to remove or delete) any Content on the Service.

While you own the Content you store with BNote, you agree that BNote (and our licensors) own(s) all legal right, title and interest in and to the Service, including, without limitation, all software comprising a part of the Service.

If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any Content infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification to BNote by providing us with the following information in writing:
