Your use of the Site constitutes your agreement to all such Terms. Please read these terms carefully, and keep a copy of them for your reference.
If you sign into TonicDM Services using an email address that belongs to an organization, your account is part of the account of your Organization and all text, files, and other data input, uploaded or otherwise provided to the Site (“Content”) and activities will fall under the control of your Organization and will be fully transparent to your Organization and its other representatives who are also Users of the Site. THE OWNERSHIP OF ANY DATA YOU UPLOAD OR HOST ON YOUR ACCOUNT RESIDES WITH YOUR ORGANIZATION.
Use of the Site and Privacy
Your use of the Site is subject to DMT’s Privacy Statement. Please review our Privacy Statement, which also governs the Site and informs users of our data collection practices.
You may use the Site to manage and share your Customer Data (as defined below) and collaborate with others on projects relating to the design and construction of the built environment.
Customer Data
“Customer Data” means all text, files, and other data input, uploaded or otherwise provided to the Site by a user, plus the logs of user activity on the site. DMT does not claim ownership of your Customer Data, however, by using the Site you are granting DMT and our subcontractors (hosting providers and contract developers for example) permission to use your Customer Data in order to provide services to you, including, without limitation, the rights to copy, distribute, transmit, display, reproduce, edit, translate and reformat your Customer Data if required in order to provide the service. For example, we may need to copy your Customer Data in order to maintain backups, transmit it so that the people you have shared it with can access it, or reformat it so that it can be displayed as a thumbnail image or preview.
Your Account
If you use this site, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to the computers where you are logged in, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. You may not assign or otherwise transfer your account to any other person or entity. You acknowledge that DMT is not responsible for third party access to your account that results from your lack of security in handling your account or password. DMT reserves the right to refuse or cancel service, terminate accounts, or remove or edit Customer Data in our sole discretion. Either party may terminate this Agreement. You can do so by using the Site functionality to request account closure as in the "Closing your Account" provisions below. DMT may terminate your account on 3 days notice or if termination is for cause, termination may be immediate.
DMT does not knowingly collect, either online or offline, personal information from persons under the age of thirteen. If you are under 18, you may use the Site only with permission of a parent or guardian.
Your Relationship with your Organization
If you sign into TonicDM Services using an email address that belongs to an organization, you are either creating an account for your Organization or are joining your account to the existing account of your Organization. You agree that all Customer Data will fall under the control of your Organization and will be fully transparent to your Organization and its other representatives who are also Users of the Site. In addition to these Terms, your activities on the Site must comply with the policies, guidelines, and procedures of your Organization. DMT reserves the right to refuse or cancel service, terminate accounts, and remove or edit Customer Data in response to a written request from your Organization.
Closing your Account
If you wish to close your User account, you can change your account status from “Active” to “Deactivated” in your account Settings page. Once deactivated, your account is deemed closed and you will no longer be able to log in to that account. All your Customer Data will remain on the Site and will continue to be available to other Users from your Organization. Another User from your Organization, or DMT at the request of you or your Organization and at its sole discretion, may reactivate your account.
When you close your account, you may continue to receive email notifications from TonicDM.com when other Users send you Customer Data.
If you wish to close the account of your Organization, you may request this by sending an email to support@tonicdm.com. In making this request you represent that you have the authority within your Organization to do this. DMT may at its sole discretion contact other representatives of your Organization in order to confirm your request. Closing of the Organization account will be at the sole discretion of DMT. Customer Data belonging to your Organization will be kept in the system for 180 days, after which it will be irrevocably deleted.
