This TOS governs all use by you of (a) the LecturePanda website (the "Site"), (b) any and all services available on or through the Site or otherwise provided by LecturePanda, and (c) all software available on or through the Site (the “Software”) (collectively, the "Services"). The Services are owned and operated by LecturePanda. The Services are offered subject to your acceptance without modification of all of the terms and conditions contained herein and all other operating rules, policies and procedures that may be published from time to time on the Site by LecturePanda.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ANY OF SUCH TERMS, CONDITIONS, RULES, POLICIES OR PROCEDURES, DO NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICES.
LecturePanda reserves the right to modify this TOS at any time. Although LecturePanda may attempt to notify you when major changes are made to this TOS, you should periodically review the most up-to-date version. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of any changes to this TOS constitutes acceptance of those changes. If any change to this TOS is not acceptable to you, your sole remedy is to cease accessing, browsing and otherwise using the Services.
LecturePanda hereby grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Services solely for the purposes of creating an event page with respect to, and promoting, managing, tracking, and collecting fees for, an event that you have registered on the Site, or for browsing the Site, and searching for, viewing, registering for, and interacting with, an event that is registered on the Site, in compliance with this TOS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not, and shall not permit anyone else to, directly or indirectly: (i) modify, reproduce or otherwise create derivatives of any part of the Services or Site Content (as defined below in Section 6.1); (ii) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile or otherwise attempt to discover the source code or structure, sequence and organization of all or any part of the Services (except that this restriction shall not apply to the limited extent restrictions on reverse engineering are prohibited by applicable local law); (iii) rent, lease, resell, distribute or use the Services for commercial purposes; (iv) remove or alter any proprietary notices or labels on or in the Services or Site Content; (v) engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts the Services; or (vi) engage in any fraudulent activity or activity that facilitates fraud.
