    “Services” includes the Company’s SaaS customer management platform for direct and social selling companies. The platform, which includes a commission engine, e-commerce module, distributor portal, admin console and more, is configurable and extensible by users or their third party service providers. The term “Services” also includes the website mlmprotec.com, applications, mobile applications, tools, software, personalized content, professional services, products, and our other subscription services and tools. All users of Services must comply with this policy and all applicable laws and regulations, in addition to all terms and conditions of applicable agreements, and any additional policies that may be applicable to a specific service offered by Company.


    By using the Services, you acknowledge that you and your Users are responsible for compliance with this AUP, and agree to be bound by this AUP. You are responsible for violations of this AUP by any User that accesses the Services through your account, which includes, without limitation, Users for whom you provide services or goods. Company does not intend to control or monitor any User’s experience or the content of their online communications, however, Company reserves the right to disconnect or otherwise terminate your access to the Services for usage that violates (or may violate) the AUP or that otherwise appears unlawful. This AUP applies to all aspects of the Company’s Services across its network, including equipment, systems, facilities, services and products incorporated or used in any manner. This AUP is designed to protect the Company, the Services, Users, Users, and the Internet community from improper or illegal activity across the Internet, to improve the Services and to improve Services offerings.


    The use of the Services by a User is subject to the terms and conditions of any agreements entered into by such User and Company. This AUP is incorporated into such agreements by reference. Certain products or services provided through the Services may have additional terms and conditions, which govern in the event of any inconsistency with this AUP.


    Users will be held responsible for the actions of any third party agent that acts on their behalf or for their benefit and shall be held directly accountable for any violations of this AUP by third party agents.
