The content of this Web site is protected by law, including without limitation United States copyright law, trademark law, and applicable international treaties. This Web site, including all content in this site, as well as the Services are provided for your personal and non-commercial use. You may not “mirror” any content contained within this Web site. You may not, in any form by any means, modify, copy, distribute or otherwise disclose or disseminate, transmit, display, perform, reproduce, publish, license, create derivative works from, transfer, or sell any information, software, products or services obtained from the Web site or Services without Planview’s prior written consent. Permission to use the Web site and Services is conditioned on your not modifying the content displayed on this site or contained in Services, your keeping intact (and following) all copyright, trademark, and other proprietary notices, and your acceptance of this Agreement as well as any terms, conditions, and notices accompanying the content or otherwise set forth in this site. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any software and other materials that are made available for downloading, access, or other use from this site with their own license terms, conditions, and notices will be governed by such terms, conditions, and notices.

Posting submissions

The Services may contain or through this Web site you may be provided with access to blogs, forums, communities, and the like (collectively referred to as a “Community” or “Communities”) designed to enable you to post comments and share information. In your use of the Web site, and particularly of Communities, please pay special attention to the following:

A Community may be moderated by a Planview representative — but Planview has no obligation to do so. Planview reserves the right to exercise editorial control over content which is posted or otherwise submitted to a Community. By posting, uploading, inputting, sending, providing or otherwise submitting (collectively, “Posting”) feedback, comments, material, suggestions or other information (each a “Submission” and collectively “Submissions”) to a Community, you understand and agree that we may post your Submission in its entirety, in an edited version, or not at all. Any editing will be done primarily for purposes of clarity, length or deletion of offensive, unlawful, threatening, libelous, obscene, scandalous, pornographic, profane, inappropriate, or potentially defamatory material. Planview may remove a Submission at any time in its sole discretion.
It is in the nature of Communities for contributors to take responsibility for their Submissions. We therefore do not accept Submissions Posted anonymously. By Posting a Submission to a Community, you understand and agree that your full name may be posted along with your Submission.
Submissions are those of their respective contributors only. The views expressed by contributors do not represent the views of Planview, its management or employees. Planview is not responsible, and disclaims any and all liability, for the content of comments, opinions, and other information submitted to the Community.
You represent that Submissions Posted by you to a Community will not contain any defamatory, libelous, vulgar, obscene, abusive, profane, threatening, libelous, scandalous, hateful, racially, ethnically, or otherwise offensive or illegal information or material.
Do not post any information or other material that will compromise the trade secrets or confidential information of, or violate the copyright or other intellectual property rights of, any third party or otherwise subject Planview to civil or criminal liability. Do not use any words, logos or other marks that would infringe upon the trademark, service mark, certification mark, or other intellectual property rights of the owners of such marks without the permission of such owners. Do not post any confidential information or any information that would infringe upon the proprietary, privacy or personal rights of others.
Do not post, upload, email or otherwise transmit any material containing software viruses or other computer code or files designed to interrupt, harm, delete, or otherwise interfere with or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment.
Do not forge headers or otherwise manipulate identifiers in your post in an attempt to disguise, impersonate, or otherwise misrepresent your identity or affiliation with any other person or entity.
All Submissions Posted shall be of an informational nature and for informational purposes only. Commercial use or any other unauthorized use of the Community is prohibited. Do not use the Community to solicit or conduct business, including the direct or indirect marketing of users’ products or services, in any manner. The Community may not be used to provide information, materials, products, or services in exchange for compensation of any kind.
You agree to fully indemnify and hold Planview.com, Planview, Inc. and their subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, directors and employees harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any party due to or arising from your use of or posting to a Community, or your violation of any rights of another.

You also agree that Planview is free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques that you Post for any purpose. No compensation will be paid with respect to the use of your Submission.

Passwords and security

You also will choose a password and a user name.

You agree to promptly notify Planview of any unauthorized use of your account or other breach of security. Planview will not be liable for any loss that you may incur as a result of someone else using your password or account, either with or without your knowledge.
