Theorem Ecosystem Terms of Use
Last Modified: December 30, 2020
Welcome to the Theorem Ecosystem Terms of Use. This Theorem Ecosystem Terms of Use covers use of the Theorem Ecosystem located at http://ecosystem.theoremlegal.com. If you use the Theorem Ecosystem, whether you’re a provider or user of the Service Offerings, then these Theorem Ecosystem Terms of Use (“Ecosystem TOU”) apply to you.
For specific guidance on Vendor Accounts, please see our General Vendor Terms
These terms are extremely important, and we cannot permit you to use the Theorem Ecosystem unless you agree to them. By using the Theorem Ecosystem, you are agreeing to these terms.
Every Theorem Ecosystem user is required to comply with these Ecosystem TOU and is responsible for any violations. You are not allowed to assist or engage others in a way that would violate these Ecosystem TOU. We will enforce and ensure compliance with this Ecosystem TOU by using any methods or any means we consider to be appropriate.
We reserve the right to modify these Ecosystem TOU at any time without giving you prior notice. You can find the most recent version here. Your use of the Theorem Ecosystem following any such modification constitutes your agreement to follow and be bound by these Ecosystem TOU as modified. You agree to review the Ecosystem TOU on a regular basis and always remain in compliance.
Please see Section 14 for definitions of certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement.
1. Access to the Theorem Ecosystem
We will provide you access to use the Theorem Ecosystem according to the terms of this Agreement. Certain parts of the Theorem Ecosystem may only be accessible to you if you are a Theorem partner, Marketplace Seller, customer or Subscriber.
You may be required to select a username and you may not use a username that: (i) belongs to someone else, (ii) impersonates another person, (iii) is misleading, (iv) violates any intellectual property or other proprietary rights, (v) is vulgar or offensive, (vi) that uses ‘Theorem’ as all or part of it, unless we provide express permission to do so, or (vii) that we reject, which we may choose to do in our discretion. All information you provide in your profile must be accurate. If you believe your access to or use of the Theorem Ecosystem has been breached, compromised, or unauthorized, notify us immediately at support@theoremlegal.com.
We can remove or discontinue all or a portion of the Theorem Ecosystem (including, without limitation, Service Providers or Service Offerings) at any time, without notice, in our discretion. We can choose which Service Providers or Service Offerings to promote, and we can also choose how we want to promote them, if at all (this is generally done programmatically). Provision of the Theorem Ecosystem does not mean we endorse, support or warrant the Service Provider or Service Offerings, even if the Service Provider or Service Offerings is listed or designated as ‘Theorem Certified’.
2. Your Conduct and Content
a. Acceptable Use. You may use the Theorem Directory to provide or learn information about Service Providers, Service Offerings and to submit reviews, solely in compliance with this Agreement. You may not (directly or indirectly) use the Theorem Directory with content, or in a manner that:

(xvi) is legally actionable between private parties; and/or
(xvii) is in violation of any applicable law or regulation.
b. Suspension and Notice of Violations. We may immediately suspend use of the Theorem Directory and/or remove a Service Offering, at any time without notice, for actual or suspected violations of the terms contained in this Section 2 (Your Conduct and Content). This right is in addition to those other rights of suspension and removal that we otherwise have under this Agreement.
c. Claims of Copyright Infringement. We respect the intellectual property rights of others, and we ask our users to do the same. We may, in its sole discretion, suspend the access or terminate the accounts of users who violate others' intellectual property rights. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes infringement on our website, please follow the steps and provide the information as detailed in the ‘Claims of Copyright Infringement’, ‘DMCA Notices’ section of the Theorem Website Terms of Use available HERE.
d. Our Use of Your Content. You grant to us all rights, licenses and permissions necessary to display, reproduce, disseminate, and otherwise use Your Content in connection with the Theorem Directory. We may edit or remove Your Content at any time in our sole discretion.
3. Use by Users or customers
If you are customer or user, you understand and agree that we are not responsible for engagement with a Service Provider or use of Service Offerings. If you elect to engage with a Service Provider or procure a Service Offering, the terms and conditions regarding your use or receipt of the Service Offerings are between you and the Service Provider of those Service Offerings. Any questions, concerns or disputes that arise based on your use of a Service Offering should be addressed with the Service Provider, not with us. The Service Offerings may use or transport your data or information outside of the Theorem Ecosystem or Theorem product, and we are not responsible for any such use or transport. If you use the Theorem Ecosystem, its content (including without limitation, reviews), a Service Provider listed, or any Service Offerings, you do so at your sole risk.
4. Use by Service Providers
Controlling Vendor terms & guidelines can be found here:
In addition, if you are a Service Provider, you must respond to inquiries regarding your Service Offerings within a reasonable period of time. If you are listed as a Service Provider, we also expect that Service Offerings you provide are done so with good quality and in a professional and workmanlike manner. We may remove you as a Service Provider or remove a Service Offering in our discretion, at any time, without notice to you. One of the reasons we might remove you as a Service Provider is if we determine that you are not responsive, or are not delivering quality or accurate work as we expect. Submitting your information as a Service Provider does not guarantee you will be listed on the Theorem Ecosystem or promoted by us.
5. Reviews and Profile Content
The Theorem Ecosystem may permit you to post reviews and other content about a Service Provider or Service Offering. If you submit content or a review, you agree that we may post all or a portion of the content or your review, along with your name and the date of the review. We reserve the right to edit, remove or decline to post any content or review, at any time, in our discretion. We are not responsible for the content of the reviews, whether or not we reviewed or edited the content.
In an effort to maintain fair, accurate and useful reviews, you are required to follow the Review Guidelines, along with the following, with respect to all reviews submitted:
The content of your review should be in compliance with this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 2 (‘Your Conduct and Content’).
Your review should be truthful and submitted in a good faith in compliance with the Review Guidelines and this Agreement.
Limit your review to relevant feedback about the Service Provider or Service Offering, based on actual experience with the Service Provider or Service Offering.
Submit only one review per Service Offering, unless further evaluation results in a change to the already submitted review.
If you are the Service Provider, or a competitor of the Service Provider, disclose your role and affiliation.
When submitting your review, do not impersonate another person or entity.
Your review may not be threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, deceptive, false, misleading, fraudulent, invasive of another's privacy; and it must not contain vulgar, obscene or indecent material, infringe a third party's intellectual property right(s), or violate export control laws and/or regulations.
Your review may not be provided to advertise or solicit other business.

7. Service Offerings, Third-Party Sites and Products
