Who Can Use Hot Files and How These Terms Apply
The Hot Files product, along with every site, app, portal, or interface used to deliver it (together called the "Platform"), is available only to individuals who are eighteen (18) or older and who are legally able to form a binding contract with us.
Do not access, use, or accept these Terms if the laws of your place of residence or of the place from which you reach the Platform prohibit you from obtaining or using what the Platform offers.
If you break these Terms, we may warn you, curb or pause your access, or cancel some or all of your permission to use the Platform, as we see fit. We may act without telling you first, though we may give notice when we choose to.
These Terms cover all downloading, installing, copying, accessing, and using of the Platform. When you download, install, copy, access, or use the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms and agree to follow them. If you disagree, you must not download, install, copy, access, or use the Platform. Here, "you" can also mean any corporation, partnership, organization, or other legal person you represent. If you accept for an entity, you confirm you have full power to bind that entity. Without that power, you may not accept these Terms or use the Platform on that entity's behalf.
License Grant, Allowed Uses, and Restrictions
You must not use the Platform or any intellectual property inside it or delivered through it in a manner that violates our rights or our licensors' rights. Unless these Terms or binding law clearly allow it, you may not copy, reproduce, adapt, change, publish, distribute, reverse engineer, decompile, create derivatives of, or otherwise take advantage of any software, feature, function, file, tool, content, or other intellectual property that belongs to, supports, or is supplied via the Platform.
You recognize that the Platform contains software, content, and other items belonging to us, our affiliates, and/or our licensors, and that those items are protected under intellectual property laws such as copyright and trademark.
As long as you keep complying with these Terms, we give you, for the life of these Terms, a limited, revocable, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and run the Platform only for your own internal purposes. You and anyone acting for you must not put the Platform to commercial use unless we have first approved that use in writing. The Platform is licensed to you; it is not sold. You receive only the rights spelled out in these Terms. Every right not granted stays with us.
Unless we put a different arrangement in writing, you may not make extra copies of the Platform or hand the Platform, any portion of it, or any way to reach it over to anyone else.
In addition to the other limits in these Terms, and unless we consent in writing beforehand, you may not assign, sublicense, lease, rent, lend, sell, give away, transfer, leave by will, auction, trade, or otherwise part with the Platform, whether money changes hands or not. You may not use the Platform for unlawful ends or in any fashion that breaches applicable law or regulation. Reach and use the Platform only through channels we supply or clearly authorize, and do not build, enable, share, or help with any bypass that lets someone else reach the Platform without permission. Do not try to break into the Platform or any linked server, system, or network, including by bypassing, turning off, disrupting, altering, or weakening any security control, technical measure, device, or software. Also avoid behavior that loads our systems or infrastructure unreasonably or excessively.
We may revise, improve, enlarge, cut back, drop, or otherwise adjust the Platform whenever we want, at our discretion. Unless a particular update has its own license, every update, change, or new release stays under these Terms. You understand that revisions may change features, how things work, availability, or how the Platform operates. We do not have to offer maintenance, support, upgrades, or similar help for the Platform.
What Counts as Acceptable Use
You must not use the Platform in a dishonest or abusive way, or for any goal meant to mislead us or another user, and you must not try to do so. If we conclude, in our judgment, that you acted in bad faith, broke these Terms, or used the Platform in an unacceptable way, we may cancel these Terms and pause, block, or otherwise restrict your access. Without narrowing what we already said, you agree not to:
- use, upload, transmit, distribute, or otherwise place on the Platform any content, information, or material that infringes or misappropriates anyone's contractual, personal, intellectual property, or other rights, including copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, privacy, or publicity rights
- interfere with, break into, access without permission, or try to decode or intercept traffic to or from any server, system, or network tied to the Platform
- upload, post, send, transmit, or otherwise share material that a reasonable person would treat as vulgar, indecent, obscene, pornographic, sexually explicit, offensive, or otherwise objectionable
- carry out fraud involving payment tools or advertiser attribution or tracking systems
- speak about us or make claims about us without our written approval first
- break any applicable law or regulation, or encourage, enable, or push unlawful acts, including copyright infringement, trademark infringement, defamation, privacy invasion, identity theft, hacking, cracking, or spreading counterfeit software
- defame, ridicule, mock, stalk, intimidate, threaten, harass, bully, discriminate against, or otherwise mistreat anyone, including through hateful, racial, ethnic, or similarly abusive behavior
- upload, send, post, transmit, or otherwise spread any virus, Trojan horse, worm, time bomb, cancelbot, corrupted file, corrupted data, or other code, software, or program that could harm, disrupt, interfere with, or degrade the Platform or other users' devices or systems
- copy, rent, lease, sell, assign, transfer, sublicense, disassemble, reverse engineer, decompile, adapt, or modify any portion of the Platform
Who Owns the Platform and Related Content
As between you and us (including our affiliates and licensors), we and they keep all rights, title, and interest in the Platform and in all content, technology, know-how, tools, materials, and parts supplied with, through, or alongside the Platform, including software, interfaces, layouts, designs, text, data, graphics, images, audio, video, files, and how those items are compiled, coordinated, and arranged (together, the "Hot Files Materials"). Copyright, trademark, patent, trade dress, treaty, and other intellectual property and proprietary laws protect the Hot Files Materials. Apart from the limited use rights these Terms expressly give you, these Terms do not give you ownership, a license, or any other right in any Hot Files Materials.
Unless we allow it in writing, you may not—and may not let or help anyone else—copy, reproduce, republish, scrape, frame, display, download, transmit, distribute, transfer, lease, rent, sublicense, sell, modify, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, create derivatives from, or otherwise exploit any Hot Files Materials, wholly or partly, except as required for the limited authorized use of the Platform under these Terms. Using, copying, or distributing Hot Files Materials without permission is forbidden and may lead to suspended or ended access, plus any civil or criminal remedies the law allows.
You do not have to send us feedback, ideas, suggestions, proposals, or recommendations about the Platform or any Hot Files Materials. If you still send comments, concepts, improvement ideas, enhancement requests, or other feedback about the Platform or any Hot Files Materials, you give us a non-exclusive, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license, including the right to sublicense, to use, reproduce, disclose, display, perform, modify, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, and otherwise exploit that feedback and anything derived from it, in any way and through any medium, with no payment, credit, or other duty owed to you.
Uptime, Outages, Modifications, and Ending Access
As far as applicable law allows, we take no responsibility for outages, slowdowns, suspensions, delays, degradation, or unavailability of the Platform, and we may at any time, as we choose, change, restrict, pause, remove, or permanently stop all or part of the Platform. We do not promise continuous access, constant availability, flawless performance, or any specific response time or service level. Whether the Platform is available and how it runs may depend on factors and third-party systems we do not reasonably control, such as your internet link, network setup, firewall rules, ISP, public communications infrastructure, and power. We are not liable for interruption, disruption, failure, or delay caused by those dependencies or by other events beyond our reasonable control, including pandemics, labor disputes, strikes, lockouts, shortages of labor, fuel, energy, raw materials, supplies, or technology, acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, political interference, network failure, server failure, or infrastructure breakdown.
Warranties Disclaimed; Cap on Liability; Your Indemnity
YOU BEAR ALL RISK CONNECTED WITH ACCESSING AND USING THE PLATFORM. TO THE GREATEST EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW ALLOWS, THE PLATFORM IS OFFERED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," AND WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM EVERY WARRANTY, CONDITION, GUARANTEE, AND REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND—EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE—INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, USEFULNESS, AUTHORITY, OR TIMELINESS.
Beyond that general disclaimer, we do not promise that the Platform will match your expectations or needs, stay available without gaps, run without interruption, work securely, be free of errors, stay free of viruses or other harmful elements, or have every defect fixed. We also make no promise or representation about the correctness, reliability, quality, fitness, accuracy, or suitability of the Platform or of any content, data, output, or result produced, reached, or obtained through it. Nothing said or written by us or by anyone speaking for us creates a warranty or representation beyond what these Terms expressly state. Evaluating the Platform and living with the results of using it is entirely your responsibility. We also do not claim or warrant that our security measures will stop unauthorized access to, disclosure of, corruption of, or loss of your data, and we disclaim liability for failed transmissions, corrupted data, interception, or the security of information sent over telecom networks.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PERMITS, NEITHER WE NOR OUR AFFILIATES, MANAGERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS, PARTNERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, CONSULTANTS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES ARE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, USE, OR DATA, ARISING FROM OR TIED TO THE PLATFORM OR ANY MATERIALS VIEWED, ACCESSED, OR DOWNLOADED THROUGH IT, WHETHER THE CLAIM RESTS ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, WARRANTY, OR ANOTHER THEORY, EVEN IF WE KNEW SUCH DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE. IF LIABILITY STILL ATTACHES DESPITE THIS SECTION, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS COMBINED WILL NOT EXCEED US $120.
Accessing or using the Platform does not give you ownership of any Hot Files Materials or of any work derived from Hot Files Materials.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us, our affiliates, and our and their directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, and partners against all claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that arise from or relate to: (i) your breach of these Terms; (ii) any claim that your access to or use of the Platform infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates a third party's rights, including intellectual property, proprietary, privacy, or other rights; (iii) your access to or use of the Platform; or (iv) access to or use of the Platform by someone acting for you, through you, or with your credentials or permission.
Some places do not allow certain warranty disclaimers or limits on certain damages. Where those rules apply, the disclaimers, exclusions, or limits in these Terms may not apply to you fully, and then they apply only as far as the law allows.
Notices Sent Electronically
You agree that we may send you notices, disclosures, updates, approvals, and other communications electronically—through the Platform, by e-mail, or via other contact details you gave us or that otherwise apply. We may also announce Term changes or other matters by posting notices, or links to notices, in the Platform. You agree that any agreement, notice, disclosure, or other communication we deliver electronically meets any legal requirement that it be in writing. An e-mail notice is treated as given when sent, whether or not you receive, open, or read it.
Suspending Access, Ending the Agreement, and Further Remedies
We may, as we choose, immediately and for any reason, for any length of time, and without prior notice, suspend, block, or disable your Platform access, end your right to access or use the Platform, and/or end these Terms. We may do so if you breach these Terms or other applicable service terms, if we decide you deliberately infringed a third party's intellectual property, if we cannot verify or authenticate information you gave us, or if you behave in a way we view as abusive, inappropriate, or out of line with the Platform's intended use or spirit. In those situations we may warn you or immediately suspend or end some or all of your access. We do not have to warn you first, though we may.
Even if something else in these Terms says otherwise, if the Platform or your access is suspended, ended, or cancelled for any reason above—temporarily or permanently—or if we end these Terms in those situations, your ability to reach and use the Platform may stop at once. We may also use any other rights or remedies the law gives us.
How We Handle Privacy
Data gathered through the Platform, or otherwise in connection with your access to or use of it, is collected, used, stored, disclosed, and otherwise processed under our Privacy Notice, as we publish it on the Platform or our website from time to time. Personal Data, as that Privacy Notice defines it, that we collect through the Platform is governed by that Privacy Notice; please read it so you understand how we treat such Personal Data.
Miscellaneous Legal Terms
We may revise, amend, restate, add to, or replace these Terms whenever we choose. A revised version may appear on the Platform and/or our website, and we may require you to review and expressly accept the new Terms before you keep accessing or using the Platform. Depending on the change, continued use may also require installing, accessing, or using the current Platform version. If you keep accessing or using the Platform after revised Terms take effect, you accept those revised Terms. If you disagree with a change, stop using the Platform right away.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or relating to these Terms or your access to or use of the Platform is governed by and interpreted under the laws of Israel, without applying conflict-of-law rules that would point to another jurisdiction's laws. You agree that Israeli courts have personal and exclusive jurisdiction over such matters, along with any other competent court we may name. Unless we designate otherwise, bring any dispute or claim only in a competent Israeli court and nowhere else. You irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the competent courts in Tel-Aviv, Israel, and waive objections based on personal jurisdiction or forum non conveniens. If a dispute arises from or in connection with these Terms—including questions about existence, validity, or termination—the parties are strongly urged to try resolving it first through our customer support channels.
Our failure or delay in using any right, power, or remedy under these Terms is not a waiver of that or any other right, power, or remedy. If a competent court finds any provision of these Terms invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced as far as the law allows, and the rest of these Terms stay in full force.
To the fullest extent applicable law allows, and despite any contrary statute or rule, any claim or cause of action arising from or relating to the Platform must be filed within one (1) year after it accrues; after that it is permanently barred.
These Terms are the full and exclusive agreement between you and us on the topics they cover and replace all earlier or concurrent proposals, negotiations, discussions, communications, understandings, and agreements—oral or written—about those topics.
