If you are required to register, your registration is for your own individual, personal use, and not for other persons, unless otherwise specified on the registration page. As a third-party administrator, you may not use or access another account or virtual room other than your own without permission.
2.2 Except as specifically permitted herein, no portion of the conferROOMS-provided content on this Application (“conferROOMS Content”) may be copied without prior written permission from conferROOMS, LLC, PO Box 1193, Pebble Beach, CA. The conferROOMS Content is provided solely for your own personal use, and may not be copied or posted on any network computer or the Internet, or broadcast in any media. Specifically, you may not copy the layout or design of this Application or the text provided by conferROOMS. Those elements of this site are protected by trade dress and other laws and may not be imitated or reproduced in whole or in part. Also, no logos, graphics, sounds or images on this Application provided by conferROOMS may be reproduced or distributed without conferROOMS’ express written consent.
2.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, conferROOMS (in its sole discretion) may provide or allow certain Users approved in conferROOMS sole discretion (and in exchange for payment of any fees that may be required by conferROOMS) to obtain a “Domain Account”, which permits the User to embed, incorporate or otherwise integrate the Application (or portions thereof) into the User’s Application. To the extent a Domain Account is authorized for any User, the User’s rights for such Domain Account (and the associated Application embed or integration) are nonexclusive, non-transferable, and revocable at any time, and may be subject to certain additional or overriding terms and conditions that may be set forth in a separate agreement. Furthermore, conferROOMS may require that Users with Domain Accounts provide a link to the conferROOMS Application and post certain information identifying conferROOMS as the provider of the virtual room embedded or integrated into the User’s Application in such language and form as conferROOMS may specify (e.g. “powered by conferROOMS” or such other language as may be required by conferROOMS).
2.4 Except for Users with Domain Accounts or otherwise agreed in writing by conferROOMS, you may not reproduce, record, copy, post on any network computer or the Internet or otherwise use any information, text, video, audio, or other materials provided by Users in the virtual rooms within the Application (“Participant Content”) unless you provided such Participant Content and own or have rights to such Participant Content. Subject to applicable copyright and other law, Users with Domain Accounts may publish, disclose, record, or retransmit Participant Content published or disclosed within the virtual room associated with that User’s Domain Account, unless the administrator indicates otherwise to his or her invited guests. Solely and to the extent minimally necessary to replay or retransmit such Participant Content through the Application into which the conferROOMS Application has been embedded or integrated, Users with Domain Accounts have a nonexclusive, non-transferable, revocable, limited license to use the Application and conferROOMS Content.
2.5 If you provide or display Participant Content in a virtual room, you are solely responsible for, and agree to defend, indemnify and hold conferROOMS harmless from, any consequences that result from providing or displaying such content. You acknowledge that Participant Content you provide will be viewed and heard (and could be recorded) by other Users (or “occupants”) of the virtual rooms you occupy, and that conferROOMS does not have the ability or responsibility to require that other Users in your room refrain from using, or maintain confidential, items you discuss, disclose or provide. Therefore, any information you submit or disclose in a virtual room should not be considered confidential. Furthermore, in the event you provide Participant Content, you represent and warrant that you have all necessary licenses, rights, consents and permissions from any third parties that may be required for use of any Participant Content you provide or display. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold conferROOMS harmless for any third party claims that you have misused any Participant Content.

Your use of or reliance on any Participant Content is solely at your own risk. You understand and acknowledge that Users may make statements or provide Participant Content that is inaccurate, incomplete, offensive, indecent, or objectionable, and you agree to waive, and hereby do waive, any legal or equitable rights or remedies you have or may have against conferROOMS with respect thereto. In the event you have paid an administrator or User with a Domain Account fees to access their virtual room, you shall look solely to the User to whom you paid such fees for any refund of such fees (to the extent you believe you are entitled to a refund) and agree to hold conferROOMS harmless with respect to any refund of such fees or any claims in any way related to any other User.
