Statement of Rights and Responsibilities

This Statement of Rights and Responsibilities ("Statement") governs our relationship with users and others who interact with AutoVitals. By using or accessing AutoVitals, you agree to this Statement.

  1. Privacy

    Your privacy is very important to us. We designed our Privacy Policy to make important disclosures about how you can use AutoVitals to share with others and how we collect and can use your content and information.  We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy, and to use it to help make informed decisions.
  2. Sharing Your Content and Information

    You own all of the content and information you add to AutoVitals, and it is only shared with the service advisor of your trusted auto repair shop. In addition:
    1. For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos ("IP content"), you specifically give us the following permission: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with AutoVitals ("IP License"). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
    2. When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).
    3. We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about AutoVitals, but you understand that we may use them without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).
