Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us. Your Registration Data (which is defined below) and certain other information about you are subject to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy to learn more about our data collection practices.

User Account, Password and Security

Each End-User of a Customer  will use a unique email address and select a password. You are responsible at all times for protecting your password, and for use of the Platform through your combination of email address and password. By signing up with the Platform, you agree that access to the Platform is being provided to you for your personal use, and not for providing services for any third party.

For End Users registering with the Platform as a Customer, you will enable End-Users to submit to you via the Platform participation, enrollment or registration information. When a Customer registers with TORBU, you will use your unique email address and password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. By signing up with the Platform, you agree that access to the Platform is being provided to you for your organization’s use, and not for providing services for any third party.

End-Users and Customers agree to (a) immediately notify TORBU of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. TORBU cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this paragraph.

The use or distribution of tools designed for compromising security (e.g., password crackers, rootkits, Trojan horses, or network probing tools) is strictly prohibited. If you become involved in any violation of system security, TORBU LLC reserves the right to release your account details to the system administrators of other websites and/or the authorities in order to assist them in resolving security incidents. TORBU LLC reserves the right to investigate suspected violations of these Terms of Use. TORBU LLC reserves the right to fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing TORBU LLC to disclose the identity of anyone posting any e-mail messages or other information; or publishing or otherwise making available any materials that are believed to violate these Terms of Use.

BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT YOU WAIVE ALL RIGHTS NOT SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH HEREIN, AND AGREE TO RELEASE TORBU LLC AND HOLD TORBU LLC HARMLESS FROM ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN BY TORBU LLC DURING OR AS A RESULT OF ITS INVESTIGATIONS AND/OR FROM ANY ACTIONS TAKEN AS A CONSEQUENCE OF INVESTIGATIONS BY EITHER TORBU LLC OR LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES. WITH RESPECT TO THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND RELEASE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE § 1542, WHICH STATES: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY,” AND WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF ANY SIMILAR APPLICABLE LAWS
