1. Parties to This Contract.
Live Cloud Depositions, LLC, a California limited liability
company, is the party with whom you are contracting. Live Cloud
Depositions, LLC sometimes is referred to as "we" or "us" or "our"
or “LiveLitigation" in this Agreement, except as is otherwise
expressly stated in particular sections. LiveLitigation is service
marks, trademarks and trade names of Live Cloud Depositions, LLC.
"You" means any person who uses the
LiveLitigation web
site or any of the Services of
LiveLitigation. We
employ the word “User" to apply to anyone who accesses or
otherwise utilizes the Products or Services, including without
limitation a “Control Person", “Host", administrator, “Moderator",
"User", “Attendee", “invitee", Stream Manager, stenographer,
videographer, and "participant" (in a Hosted Session) or a
"visitor" (to a web site or page), as the particular case may be.
In general, you may contract with us by clicking on-screen “I
agree" or words of similar import when you seek to access or use
Products or Services of LiveLitigation and this license agreement
is presented for your acceptance. The scope of your rights and
duties under this agreement depend upon the particular status for
which you have contracted with us. You agree that this is an
agreement between independent contractors, and it is not a joint
venture, partnership, employer-employee, agent-principal, or
franchisor-franchisee relationship. Neither you nor Live Cloud
Depositions, LLC is authorized to bind the other to any contract.
This agreement governs only the use of LiveLitigation products and
services and it does not give us any managerial or regulatory
authority over the conduct of your business, your products or your
services. You and we agree that this agreement shall be construed
and limited such that it is not a franchise, you are not a
franchisee, and LiveLitigation is not a franchisor.
“Your Users" mean persons that You, by use of Your license and
access, authorize or enable to use the Services of LiveLitigation,
even if any such person has misappropriated or otherwise misused
Your Communications Channels and Bandwidth (as defined in Section
5.1 below) or Your User ID or Your password or the ID or password
of any of Your employees, agents, guests, invitees or
participants.
An “Administrator" is a person to whom you have given
broad authority and the top level power to grant access to Hosts,
Moderators, Stream Managers, and Attendees under LiveLitigation
products. Generally, the Administrator will grant such powers via
a User ID and password and will delegate discretionary powers of
varying degrees under the LiveLitigation products. An
Administrator can exercise directly the subordinate powers of
Host, Moderator, Stream Manager, and Attendee.
An “Attendee" is a person empowered by an Administrator
or a Host to enter into and participate in a LiveLitigation event,
either under eSuite streaming on the internet, or under
StenoDirect/LocalRealtime operating on your Local Area Network. An
Attendee must provide an email address to receive an invitation
through eSuite or must enable the Attendee’s device to join a LAN
using LocalRealtime.
A “Control Person" means any Administrator, Host,
Moderator or Stream Manager.
A “Host" is a person whom an Administrator has empowered
to schedule, create, edit, and delete events within the
LiveLitigation product. To enable Attendees to join a
LiveLitigation event, a Host is empowered to issue to each
prospective Attendee an invitation with a hyperlink that has an
embedded “Key" which enables an Attendee to access a Live
Deposition event by clicking on the hyperlink. A Host can control
and terminate access by Attendees.
A “Key" is a computer-readable, security code which
grants access to a particular LiveLitigation event. There
generally will be multiple, partially unique Keys to a particular
event which grant varying degrees of access and control over the
event. A unique User ID and password will be associated with each
Key to a particular LiveLitigation event. Thus, any Control Person
can identify the User IDs that are active in a particular
LiveLitigation event.
A “Moderator" is a person an Administrator has empowered
to view or join into a LiveLitigation event without an invitation
from a Host. A Moderator can access and view all User IDs
associated with Keys to a particular LiveLitigation event and thus
can determine what User IDs are authorized and which authorized
User IDs are active in the event. A Moderator can act as a Host or
Stream Manager.
A “Stream Manager" is a person who has been given an
invitation with a hyperlink and a non-embedded Key which the
Stream Manager must manually input to access a LiveLitigation
event. A Stream Manager can access and view all User Ids
associated with Keys to a LiveLitigation event to which that
Stream Manager has been granted access by a Host or Administrator.
These definitions of various roles under the LiveLitigation
products are descriptive only. The precise powers associated with
the various roles are defined by the proprietary software computer
code of the various LiveLitigation products, which controls over
these descriptions. Please refer to the training materials and the
internal instructions within the particular products for their use
and operation. LiveLitigation products routinely are reviewed,
adjusted and upgraded such that the precise powers associated with
particular roles will change from time to time.
2. Pricing and Payment for Services.
Pricing and payment terms and conditions for use of
LiveLitigation and
the Services may be amended from time to time. LiveLitigation
Services are licensed not sold.

are offered to you at the Internet domain

You agree that your use of those other linked websites owned and
controlled by Live Cloud Depositions, LLC or its affiliates will
be bound by the terms and conditions of use and the privacy policy

The LiveLitigation “StenoDirectPlus/LocalRealtime" product is
designed to enable You to make limited utilization of
LiveLitigation computer services for account setup, maintenance,
conference initiation, User/Host verification and reporting,
payment, and related administrative functions, but where the
principal communications of You and Your Users employ "Your
Communications Channels and Bandwidth". The
StenoDirectPlus/LocalRealtime product is designed to operate on a
local area network (“LAN") via a router and computer server that
you own, lease, or otherwise control. This product enables you to
distribute data via wired or wireless connections from your LAN to
your users’ computing devices, such as desktop, laptop or mobile
computing devices. The StenoDirectPlus/LocalRealtime products do
not stream video and audio. You must obtain a separate, written
license in addition or supplemental to this Agreement to install,
administer, and use the StenoDirectPlus/LocalRealtime product on
computer servers that you own, lease, or otherwise control. If we

Sections 10, 11 and 12 below, Your Users are limited,
non-exclusive, sub-licensees acting under this license, but Your
Users shall be restricted solely to end-user status. You do not
have any power or authority to otherwise assign, transfer or
sub-license your StenoDirectPlus/LocalRealtime status and any
attempt to do so shall be void.
3.2.

from Your Users.
When you enable connections by Your Users to any LiveLitigation
product you shall affirmatively require that Your Users initially
expressly give written assent to a written Terms of Service
Agreement between You and Your Users ("Your TOS"), which includes
but is not limited to privacy and security controls and
disclosures, that comply with all the requirements of applicable
law to ensure that You and Your Users do not make unlawful use of
LiveLitigation’s Products and Services. Your TOS also must require
your users to acknowledge and accept the terms, limitations,
waivers and indemnities upon which your license to use
LiveLitigation products and services is conditioned in this
Agreement. You can comply with this requirement by requiring Your
Users to click or otherwise give written acknowledgement of
consent to this Agreement or its equivalent.
4. Registration, User ID, User Account; Security; and
Password.
You must register and obtain a LiveLitigation User Identification
("User ID") and select a password to use the Services of
LiveLitigation. When registering you must provide us with a valid
user identity and a valid, functional email address for providing
notices and communications to you concerning this Agreement,
transactions with LiveLitigation and the Services. You are
responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information
which you and Your Users provide to LiveLitigation in your

agree that you shall provide a valid, lawful identity in your
registration and that you shall not impersonate any other person,
nor suffer anyone else to do so. You agree that you will promptly
correct any errors in registration information of your and Your
Users and will promptly update registration information when it
changes. If you do not have authority to supply information which
is required either for registration or for a particular use of
LiveLitigation or the Services, then do not register or do not
engage in the particular use of LiveLitigation or the Services for
which you lack such authority.
Control Persons in the eSuite Product: A person must be
registered, obtain a LiveLitigation User Identification ("User
ID") and a password for that person to become a Control

us with at least one valid, functional email address for providing
notices and communications to you concerning this Agreement and
transactions with LiveLitigation and the Services.
Unauthorized Users: If a person makes unauthorized use of
LiveLitigation, or the Products or Services (“Unauthorized User")
then that person will be bound by the limitations and waivers of
these Terms of Service, even though that person lacks authority,
but that person does not acquire any rights or privileges under
these Terms of Services or otherwise. If an Unauthorized User uses
LiveLitigation via Your use of LiveLitigation Products and
Services then You are responsible for that unauthorized use.
LiveLitigation reserves all of its rights and remedies, jointly
and severally against You and the Unauthorized User, and the
employers, agents, and affiliates of You and the Unauthorized User
to the full extent permitted by law for such unauthorized use.
5. Communications Channels, Bandwidth and Communications Content; Security.

“Your Communications Channels and Bandwidth" shall mean:
(i) Communication channels and communications bandwidth that You
or Your Users provide for Yourself and Your Users on any

Your Users and your contractors and
(ii) The communications channels and bandwidth of third parties
that You and Your Users employ. “Your Communications Channels and
Bandwidth" do not include LiveLitigation Communications Channels
and Bandwidth and that of LiveLitigation’s computer-server
contractors when acting in that capacity.
5.2. Security by You and Your Users. "
You and Your Users shall have sole and exclusive responsibility
for the security and privacy of Your Communications Channels and
Bandwidth and of information passing through, resident therein, or

control of You and them, including without limitation, during

entirely responsible for communications content transmitted via
your use of LiveLitigation’s products or services. You agree (a)
that you and your Users, shall make certain to fully exit from
accounts at the end of each session, and (b) that You and Your
Users shall immediately notify LiveLitigation in writing (which
may be by confirmed email to admin@LiveLitigation.com) if there is
any unauthorized use of an account or password or other security
breach. LiveLitigation and Live Cloud Deposition, LLC, and its
employees, agents, affiliates and contractors shall not be liable
for any cost, loss, damage, liability or claim which arises or is
alleged to arise from failure to comply with this section.
5.3.
“LiveLitigation Communications Channels and Bandwidth"
“LiveLitigation Communications Channels and Bandwidth" means
communications channels and bandwidth for data solely during the
time that data is passing through or stored within the computer
servers physically controlled by LiveLitigation's computer-server
contractors and subcontractors.
5.4. Security by LiveLitigation.
LiveLitigation shall be responsible only for the physical security
and internal network security of computers controlled by
LiveLitigation’s computer-server contractors. LiveLitigation’s
responsibilities shall be strictly limited to implementing the
physical and internal network security of computers physically
controlled by LiveLitigation’s computer-server contractors.
LiveLitigation shall have no responsibility whatsoever:
(i) For physical and network security of computers of You and Your
Users, or
(ii) For any computers not physically controlled by
LiveLitigation’s computer-server contractors, or
(iii) For communication content that You and Your Users (including
Unauthorized Users) transmit without effective encryption via any
LiveLitigation products and services. You acknowledge that
LiveLitigation has no ability and no duty to monitor or control
the security which You, Your Users, Hosts, Administrators,
Moderators, Stream Managers, Attendees, participants, invitees and
Unauthorized Users employ with respect to your and their USER IDs,
passwords, Keys, account designations and communications content
when that information is outside LiveLitigation Communications
Channels and Bandwidth, or when You or Your Users transmit
unencrypted communications content. You agree that you shall
immediately notify LiveLitigation in writing (which may be by
confirmed email to
admin@LiveLitigation.com) if there is any unauthorized use of a User ID, account
designation, or password of You or of any of Your Users or any
other security breach (even if such breach is or may be a breach
in LiveLitigation Communications and Bandwidth). LiveLitigation
shall not be liable for any cost, loss, damage or liability which
arises or is alleged to arise from Your failure to comply with
this section.
5.5. "Your Communications Content"
"Your Communications Content" is the content and form of
any information that you or Your Users post, communicate,
transmit, or direct to each other or to any third party in any
manner through the use of LiveLitigation, or the Products or the
Services, or the LiveLitigation Internet domain, or any sub
domain, or any linked domain that is owned, controlled or operated
by Live Cloud Depositions, LLC. You are solely responsible for the
accuracy, lawfulness, risks and use of the content of Your
Communications Content.
5.6. “Your Correspondents' Communications Content"
"Your Correspondents' Communications Content" means the content
and form of any information that you or Your Users receive,
access, take or otherwise obtain that originated from, was sent
from, or was posted by any third party in any manner through
LiveLitigation, the LiveLitigation Products or Services, or the
LiveLitigation Internet domain, or any sub domain, or any linked
domain that is owned, controlled or operated by Live Cloud
Depositions, LLC. You and your correspondents are solely
responsible for the accuracy, lawfulness, risks and use of the
content of Your Correspondents' Communications.
5.7. Monitoring, Modification, Deletion.
LiveLitigation generally does not monitor, select or modify Your
Communications Content or Your Correspondents' Communications
Content, but does reserve the right to delete or refuse to
transmit matter as it deems necessary to comply with applicable
law. LiveLitigation technicians may join a session to assist a
participant, for quality control or for product improvement.
5.8.
Security and Encryption of Communications Content of You and
Your Users.
You and Your Users shall be solely and exclusively responsible,
and LiveLitigation's contractors shall have absolutely no
responsibility, for the content of communications which is
transmitted via Your use of LiveLitigation and other
LiveLitigation Products and Services through computers employed by
You and Your Users (“Communications Content of You and Your Users"
or “Your Communications Content").
If You or Your Users wish to keep the content of communications
secure, then You or Your Users must encrypt such information, and
maintain the security of encryption codes and keys, independently
of Live Deposition. This is because Live Deposition does not
control the security of Your Communications Channels and Bandwidth
or the channels and bandwidth of third parties that may be used in
transmissions to and from LiveLitigation Communications Channels
and Bandwidth. You acknowledge that transmission of information on
the internet inherently is not wholly secure. If You or Your User
transmits unencrypted communications content, then as between
LiveLitigation and You and Your Users there shall be a presumption
affecting the burden of producing evidence that such
communications content was not confidential. You agree that Live
Deposition and its computer-server contractors are not insurers or
guarantors of the confidentiality and security of the
communications content, USER IDs, and passwords of You and Your
Users. You acknowledge that You and Your Users can purchase
insurance to insure against breaches of data security and
confidentiality. You acknowledge and agree on behalf of yourself
and Your Users that Live Deposition need not undertake any burden
of proving where in the chain of possession and transmission a
breach of the confidentiality or security of Your Communications
Content occurred. You agree that if You or Your User claims that a
breach of the security or confidentiality of Your Communications
Content occurred in LiveLitigation Communications Channels and
Bandwidth or occurred during LiveLitigation recording and storage,
then You and Your User must bear the burden of proving such claim
by clear and convincing evidence.
If you desire a higher level of confidentiality of Communications
Content of You and Your Users, then you must obtain a separate
written commitment to such higher level of confidentiality in a
writing signed by an LLC manager of Live Cloud Depositions, LLC.
5.9. Recording and Storage by LiveLitigation.
Live Deposition does not undertake to routinely record and store
any communications content of You and Your Users except in a
writing signed by an authorized Live Deposition officer which
states the terms and conditions and limitations for such
recordation and storage.
Uploaded Files. LiveLitigation may provide the capacity to
upload and temporarily store electronic files or documents for use
in LiveLitigation events, but we do not provide permanent, or
archival storage. You and Your Users must make provisions,
independently of LiveLitigation, for longer term and archival
storage of original documents and files (for example, and without
limitation, deposition exhibits and transcripts). We reserve the
right and power to automatically or manually delete such uploaded
materials after a period of time which may be as little as forty
eight hours after recording. It is the responsibility of You and
Your Users to promptly download any such stored documents and
files for any desired preservation.
Streaming Content. LiveLitigation reserves the right to
offer recording and temporary storage of streaming Communications
Content, such as, for example, live depositions or conferences.
You can only obtain such recording and temporary storage of
streaming content in a writing signed by an authorized Live
Deposition officer which states the terms and conditions and
limitations for such recordation and storage and you must make
separate provisions for longer term and archival storage of such
recorded streaming Communications Content. Such writing may be an
addendum to this Agreement.
Limitations, Waivers and Indemnities. Uploading, recording
and storage are subject to the damage limitations, liability
waivers and indemnity provisions of this Agreement.
Incidental, Transient Storage. You acknowledge that there
may be transient storage incidental to computer operations to
transmit information through LiveLitigation Communications and
Bandwidth (such as, for non-limiting example, temporary storage in
computer Random Access Memory (“RAM") or buffers). You agree that
LiveLitigation shall not have any duty to record, store or
preserve such transient information absent an express, prior
written undertaking by LiveLitigation to record and store it. You
agree that LiveLitigation may purge or destroy such transient
information either automatically or manually.
5.10. Litigation Holds.
You agree that if a burden is imposed upon LiveLitigation to
store, hold or produce information arising from use by You or Your
User of LiveLitigation products or services, and related to a
claim, dispute or legal proceeding, then you shall bear and pay to
LiveLitigation and LiveLitigation’s agents and contractors the
reasonable, market worth of labor, costs and expenses (including
without limitation, fees and charges of experts, advisors and
attorneys), of collecting, holding, storing and producing such
information. You agree that LiveLitigation shall not have any duty
to initiate litigation holds unless You have given timely, written
notice to an authorized LLC manager of Live Deposition, LLC of the
content, need, and scope of hold required. You agree that due to
the high velocity and volume of information, and the necessity for
Live Deposition to operate automated and semi-automated deletion
of data to avoid computer-server overload, it shall be Your burden
to give timely notice to Live Deposition, LLC.
5.11. LiveLitigation Privacy Policy.
The Privacy Policy which LiveLitigation posts from time to time on
LiveLitigation's web site shall be applied to the information of
You and Your Users while such information is within LiveLitigation
Communications Channels and Bandwidth, or is recorded and stored
by LiveLitigation. You shall so inform Your Users in writing and
obtain their affirmative assent to the Privacy Policy of
LiveLitigation or its equivalent. LiveLitigation shall not have
any obligation to follow a Privacy Policy created by You to the
extent such policy is more onerous or more stringent than the
Privacy Policy of Live Deposition.
5.12. Links to Websites of Other Persons.
LiveLitigation may provide links to websites of persons other than
LiveLitigation and Live Cloud Depositions, LLC. Those links to
other persons are provided solely as a courtesy without any
representation or warranty as to their content, use, or terms.
Your use of such other websites is subject to the terms and

9. Amended Terms and Conditions.
We reserve the right to change the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and the Privacy Policy from time to time by posting
the changes on the LiveLitigation website or by notice to the

User, or such other method as we deem reasonable and practicable

authorized officer of Live Cloud Depositions, LLC. In non-urgent
situations we will post the changes on LiveLitigation for a period
of thirty days before those changes take effect, after which those
changes automatically shall take effect for uses, transactions and
communications on and after the effective date. When we in our
sole discretion deem a situation to be urgent or to constitute an
emergency then we may implement immediate changes of terms and
conditions for immediate application in then-current and future
uses by such posting on the LiveLitigation website, or such other
method of notice, as we deem to be reasonable and practical in
such urgent or emergency circumstances, and we will state the date
such changes will take effect. In particular, we reserve the right
to halt, interrupt, or prevent your use of LiveLitigation without
prior notice.
10. Termination of This Agreement.
This is an agreement at will, which either you or we may
terminate, with or without cause. You may terminate this Agreement
only by giving written notice of termination to LiveLitigation
using the online forms at
https://www.livelitigation.com/cancel-remote.html
or at
https://www.livelitigation.com/cancel-local.html
and then ceasing all further use of LiveLitigation and the
Services. If you decide after you have entered into this Agreement
that you no longer wish to agree with any term or condition of
this Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time, then your
only remedy is to terminate this Agreement by written notice, to
cease use, and to refrain from further use of LiveLitigation and
its Services.
If you terminate this Agreement then you must cease all use of,
and remove from your computer(s), any software associated with
LiveLitigation, the Products and the Services; and you must
destroy any copies of such software, except only that you shall
not destroy matter which is reasonably likely to be or to become
material evidence in judicial or arbitration proceedings.
If you violate any terms or conditions of this Agreement then we
may terminate this Agreement without prior notice to you.
Following termination of this Agreement this Agreement will
survive for the limited purpose of governing rights, obligations
and responsibilities which arise from events and transactions that
occurred prior to such termination; but no right will survive for
continued or future use of LiveLitigation or Products or the
Services. For example, if you incur charges, liabilities, or
obligations to LiveLitigation which have not yet been paid or
discharged at the time you terminate then you remain obligated to
pay such charges and to discharge such liabilities and obligations
after you terminate. As a further example, your obligations to
respect our copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual
property continue after termination.
If you give written notice of termination, but continue or resume
use of LiveLitigation or Products or the Services then
LiveLitigation may elect in its sole discretion to deem your
termination to be ineffective, but retains its rights to
immediately terminate, block or restrict your use without notice.

Services. Your User's Information (also called "Your Information")

"Your User's Information" is distinguished from, and does not include, communications between you and third parties by use of LiveLitigation and the Services, which are defined under the topics "Your Communications Content" and "Your Correspondents' Communications Content."
12. Information We Receive, Switch and Transmit.
LiveLitigation provides systems for the receipt, switching
and transmission of Your Communications Content and Your
Correspondents' Communications Content during your sessions using
the Services. This is similar in some respects to the switching of
telephone calls.
12.1. Limited Participation Sessions, Control Persons and Attendees.
12.1.1.
Control Persons of Limited Participation Sessions.
LiveLitigation records both the registration information of your
designated Control Persons (Administrator, Host, Moderator, or
Stream Manager) and each Control Person’s User ID and email
address because only a person registered as a User of
LiveLitigation can act as a Control Person of a eSuite session. As
a necessary condition of participation in a Limited Participation
session, LiveLitigation requires that each other participant
supply LiveLitigation with a user name and a valid, functional
email address with reference to which communications will be
switched during that particular session. In a
StenoDirect/LocalRealtime session, the user ID is supplied by the
Attendee to the Control Person. The password and LAN access code
is supplied by the Control Person to each of the Attendees.
eSuite - During a session using eSuite,
LiveLitigation receives and transfers through its computer servers
communications only among the Control Person(s) and other
participants (“Attendees") who have been approved by a Control
Person to participate in that particular private session or
conference ("Limited Participation" session).
LocalRealtime - Is licensed to persons who operate
that software on computer servers owned or controlled by such
person, not under the control of Live Cloud Depositions, LLC. In
general, the communications content of the session is switched and
controlled through at least one computer server operated by that
person, and does not pass through servers of Live Cloud
Depositions, LLC.
12.1.2.
Non-Control Participants (“Attendees") in Limited Participation
Sessions.
To participate in a Limited Participation session of eSuite a
prospective participant must first log onto the LiveLitigation
system by providing LiveLitigation with the prospective
participant's user name and a valid, functional email address.
LiveLitigation records the user name and email address supplied
during log-on by each prospective participant in a Limited
Participation session. LiveLitigation does not require that any
participant in a Limited Participation session, other than the
Control Person, be registered with LiveLitigation. LiveLitigation
does not undertake to verify the validity or functionality of the
email address provided by a prospective participant. However, all
Users and participants are required to provide valid, functional
email addresses, the products and services may not function
correctly without them, and it is a violation of this Agreement
for a Control Person, Attendee or participant to supply a
non-functional, fake, or impersonated email address and user name.
Each prospective participant's log-on information will be recorded
by LiveLitigation. Prospective participants either (1) can be
invited to participate in a particular Limited Participation
session through an email initiated by the Control Person through
LiveLitigation's system, or (2) can be informed of the Control
Person’s email and scheduled session by means independent of
LiveLitigation's system. The prospective participant then must
either receive an email invite from a LiveLitigation Control
Person, or be given a Key to join the event if not using the email
invite, or must be given the LAN password and meeting password if
joining a LocalRealtime event.
13. IP Addresses Received and Recorded.
Every User's browser as part of the automatic network
protocol reports its IP (Internet Port) address to the
LiveLitigation website each time a web page is viewed and we may
record and store some or all of these IP addresses as well as a
listing of the web pages requested using a particular IP address.
Your IP address may be stored in our data base when you register
for User status or otherwise log into an event.
14. LiveLitigation Is Not Obliged to Verify User Names, Email
Addresses or Identities.
Because a user name and email address are used to route
communications among computers, and because computers communicate
with each other by coded network addresses, the combination of a
user name and email address might, but does not necessarily,
identify a particular person. LiveLitigation ordinarily does not
and usually cannot verify or authenticate email addresses and does
not undertake any obligation to you to do so. LiveLitigation does
not and usually cannot verify or control the identity of the
natural persons who have access to or control the particular
computers that are identified by an IP address or email address
supplied to LiveLitigation for computer-routing purposes and we do
not undertake any obligation to you to do so.
It is the responsibility and risk of the Control Person to use
whatever identification measures the Control Person thinks
appropriate and prudent when the Control Person supplies its
registered address for delivery to prospective participants and
when the Control Person approves a particular user name and email
address for participation in a 's particular Limited Participation
session. Similarly, it is the responsibility and risk of a
prospective participant when using a Control Person’s email
address, and when supplying LiveLitigation with the prospective
participant's email address and password for delivery to a Control
Person, to use such measures as the prospective participant thinks
appropriate and prudent to identify and verify whom it will be
dealing with in a session, including without limitation the
Control Person and other participants in the session.
We reserve the right, for protection of ourselves and our systems,
to use whatever lawful means may be at our disposal to attempt to
verify any IP (Internet Port) address, email address, or other
identification information of any User, participant or visitor.
15. Contents Of User and Participant Communications Are
Transitory in Limited Participation Sessions; Control Person’s
Choice to Record or Not; No Long-term Archival Storage.
During Limited Participation sessions, communications among
the Control Person and other participants are transitorily
resident within the automatic switching systems, computer memory,
and any temporary on-line parallel or concurrent backup systems of
LiveLitigation and our Internet.
Service Providers ("ISPs"). Each Limited Participation session is
generally limited not to exceed ten consecutive days, and most
will have much shorter duration.
Within Limited Participation sessions all transmission of
communications is initiated or directed by the Control Person and
other participants, not by LiveLitigation. Communication content
is transmitted among the Control Person and other participants
automatically based upon the Control Person's selection of
participants. The transmission, routing, provision of connections,
and any storage of content is done at the direction of the Control
Person and other participants, and material is transmitted by
automatic technical processes without selection or modification of
the content by LiveLitigation.
LiveLitigation offers to some Control Persons, using
LiveLitigation software, a capability to record onto
LiveLitigation servers the Communication Content of a session. The
Control Person thereafter can download the recorded Communication
Content from LiveLitigation’s computers to the Control Person’s
computer. The Control Person then can deal with the recorded
matter at the Control Person’s discretion without any supervision
or controls by LiveLitigation. LiveLitigation does not claim any
ownership or control of the recorded Communication content, but
leaves those issues exclusively to the Control Person that chose
to record the matter, except in the rare case where LiveLitigation
might claim rights to particular content independently of the
Control Person’s session, such as by trademark, copyright or
patent. The decision whether to record or not is made by the
Control Person, not by LiveLitigation. The LiveLitigation
recording capability is designed to automatically post a notice on
the computer screen of each prospective participant that a Control
Person has elected to record the particular session. A prospective
participant should not enter the session if the prospective
participant does not wish to be recorded. Similarly, any
participant can terminate participation in a recorded session at
any time, though any recording made by a Control Person before
termination will remain on LiveLitigation’s computers, available
for download of the recorded session by the Control Person (or
others designated by a Control Person) automatically deletes
recorded matter from LiveLitigation’s operating computers after a
limited period of time, which may be less than 72 hours. It is a
Control Person’s choice and responsibility to download recorded
matter that a Control Person wishes to preserve before that matter
is deleted by LiveLitigation. LiveLitigation disclaims any
responsibility for the contents, quality of recording, failure to
successfully record, loss, destruction or deletion of matter that
a Control Person chooses to record. A Control Person that chooses
to record matter is solely responsible for insuring that such
recordation complies with the laws and regulations of any
governmental authority having jurisdiction over any portion of the
communications.
LiveLitigation event recordings are unedited and
unofficial/uncertified event videos. These videos shall not be
made official/certified and cannot be used, cited, or transcribed
for use as the official/certified video of the proceedings. These
videos shall not be cited or used in any way or at any time to
rebut or contradict any official/certified video of the
proceedings as provided by the official reporter or official
reporter pro tempore. These unofficial/uncertified videos are
intended only for the purpose of augmenting counsel’s notes and
are not intended to be copied or used in any court proceedings or
distributed to any other parties.
LiveLitigation does not otherwise record, backup, or archive the
contents of Control Person and participant communications during a
Limited Participation session, except as is technically necessary
for that particular Limited Participation session, and those
contents then are dissipated from LiveLitigation's systems either
during or after termination of a particular Limited Participation
session. Except for recording made at the choice of the Control
Person of a particular session, no copy of Your Communications
Content or Your Correspondents' Communication Content during
Limited Participation sessions is maintained or stored on the
LiveLitigation system or network in a manner that ordinarily would
be accessible to anyone other than the Control Person and
participants selected by the Control Person for a particular
Limited Participation session.
After termination of a particular session no copy that has been
maintained by LiveLitigation during a particular Limited
Participation session remains ordinarily accessible to the Control
Person or other participants for a longer period than is
reasonably necessary for that Limited Participation session,
except what a Control Person has chosen to record.
The Control Person and other participants are entirely responsible
for any recordation, archiving, or other backup of their own
content, and may do so only as permitted by applicable law. If a
Control Person has not chosen to record Communication content,
then after completion of a particular Limited Participation
session the only information that is retained by design at
LiveLitigation with reference to that Limited Participation
session is a record that the Control Person's session took place,
which may include the time, and the user names, email addresses
and IP addresses supplied by the Control Person, participants and
prospective participants for that session.
LiveLitigation does not monitor the content of Control Person and
participant communications either during Limited Participation
sessions or thereafter where a Control Person has chosen to record
content. The Control Person and participants bear sole
responsibility, risk and liability for the content of their
communications and for the identification and selection of
recipients of their communications. The Control Person and
participants in a Limited Participation session are responsible
for determining and resolving among themselves rights related to
the content of sessions, whether or not recorded.
16. User-Implemented Encryption or Other Special Security
Issues of Users.
User hereby acknowledges that information that passes
through or is retained on Live Cloud Deposition's computer servers
has a moderate level of password-access security that is required
to enter into a meeting ("Meeting-level Access Security"). After
such password access is gained to a meeting then the content of
that meeting is generally available to anyone who has acquired
such password access to that meeting, or to recorded copies of
such meeting. The degree of a User's password-access security for
a meeting is dependent upon the User's selection of stronger or
weaker passwords and the User's distribution and control of the
User's passwords. User acknowledges that LiveLitigation does not
provide encryption capability within a meeting, but only password
protection for entry into a meeting. User can implement a higher
degree of security to certain kinds of particular information
within that meeting by applying additional password access, or
other encryption controls to files before uploading or
transmitting to LiveLitigation’s Communications Channels and
Bandwidth, ("Encrypted Content Transmitted within a Meeting").
LiveLitigation does not provide encryption or additional password
protection (beyond the passwords required to enter the meeting) as
to the streaming live audio and live video of the meeting as a
whole, or to recordings of the meeting as a whole. It shall be the
responsibility of the User (A) to identify the particular portions
of its own information and content that requires a higher level of
security before transmission within a meeting, and (B) to
implement the User's higher level of security for such information
and content that the User transmits or receives. For example, and
without limitation, a User can individually encrypt a particular
document before transmitting that document within a meeting
through the LiveLitigation computer servers, and before storing
that particular document on LiveLitigation servers. Then, even if
Meeting-level Access Security fails for a meeting as a whole, the
User still can maintain the separate higher-level security access
to particular files transmitted within that meeting. User shall be
responsible for selecting and implementing an encryption system or
other security system of User's choice for Encrypted Content
Within A Meeting. As an example and without limitation, a User can
implement the encryption features of Adobe Acrobat for particular
documents that the User identifies as too sensitive to protect
solely by Meeting-level Access Security. User shall not provide to
LiveLitigation the User's access passwords for Encrypted Content
Transmitted Within A Meeting. LiveLitigation shall not have any
responsibility or liability for encryption or decryption of User's
information and content, nor for control or distribution of User's
access to Encrypted Content Transmitted Within A Meeting.
17. LiveLitigation Public Rooms; Public Video, Text Chat
Rooms and Billboards.
LiveLitigation may provide public video, text chat rooms,
billboards, special interest rooms, and other publicly available
contents at its website ("LiveLitigation Public Rooms"), the
content of which may be accessible by any member of the general
public visiting the LiveLitigation website with minimal or no
registration. LiveLitigation's Public Rooms enable visitors and
prospective Users to engage in limited trials of LiveLitigation's
systems. Visitors to the LiveLitigation website may be enabled to
post information to some LiveLitigation Public Rooms. The content
posted by visitors to the LiveLitigation Public Rooms will be
transitorily resident within the automatic switching systems,
computer memory and caches, and any temporary on-line parallel or
concurrent backup systems, of LiveLitigation and its Internet
service providers. Both the posting and accessing of content in
LiveLitigation Public Rooms is done automatically at the direction
of visitors and prospective Users and LiveLitigation does not
undertake to select or modify such content, other than by deleting
it from time to time. LiveLitigation does not archive or preserve
content which is posted in LiveLitigation Public Rooms. Our policy
is to take down material from LiveLitigation Public Rooms after
display for not more than ten consecutive days, and often more
frequently, after which such content dissipates from its
systems.
LiveLitigation reserves the right, at any time and for any reason
whatsoever or for no reason:
(i) to take down, restrict, or refuse to post any information in
the LiveLitigation Public Rooms, or
(ii) to make such Public Rooms available or unavailable.
18. License Granted By You to Us for Content Transmitted by
You to Public Areas.
When you communicate content to or within any
LiveLitigation Public Room or any other area of LiveLitigation
which is intended to be accessible by the general public, then you
shall be deemed to have granted to us (Live Cloud Depositions, LLC
) an irrevocable, world-wide, no-royalty, no-fee license to
publish, distribute, use, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate,
publicly perform and publicly display (in whole or in part) in any
manner, place, or medium whatsoever such content transmitted or
posted to LiveLitigation Public Rooms. This license from you to us
is fully sub licensable by us.
LiveLitigation does not pre-screen the content of transmissions
and postings originated or transmitted by you or by any other user
or visitor in LiveLitigation Public Rooms. We have no obligation
to post, display, transmit, or retain any material whatsoever in
any LiveLitigation Public Room or other publicly accessible area.
We at our sole and unfettered discretion may limit access of
anyone, refuse to post, or may remove or delete any matter, or may
block or terminate access by any person, at any time for any
reason or for no reason. We also may make available or unavailable
any Public Room, public page, or other area that may be generally
accessible to the public.
19. License Granted by Us to You for Use of Our Public
Rooms.
Live Cloud Depositions, LLC grants you a temporary limited
license to access and use LiveLitigation Public Rooms which then
are being made available by us without registration by you as a
User; this license is non-transferable and non-sub licensable by
you, is terminable at will by us without notice to you; and is
subject to the terms of this Agreement. Generally your access to a
Public Room may be automatically limited not to exceed ten minutes
during any one log on by you. If you register as a User, and so
long as you comply with the payment terms and other terms of this
Agreement, or if you are granted access by a Control Person to a
Limited Participation session, then you are granted by us a
temporary limited license to use those portions of our system
which we provide for that particular Limited Participation
session. Your license as User is non-sub licensable and
non-transferable by you, and is terminable at will by us at any
time for any reason or for no reason.
You do not receive any license authorizing you to, and you shall
not, assign, sublicense, distribute, redistribute, publish,
compile, decompile, copy, modify, or reverse engineer, any content
or technical means of the LiveLitigation website, the Services,
our systems, or our software; and this restriction applies to both
public areas and limited participation areas.
20. Content May Be Offensive.
You recognize that LiveLitigation generally does not, and
usually cannot, pre-screen, monitor, modify or control in real
time the content of any communications or posting, either in
Limited Participation areas or in publicly accessible areas.
Therefore, you acknowledge that when you use any area of
LiveLitigation there is a risk that you could be exposed to
salacious, obscene, pornographic, hateful, misleading, and
fraudulent or other objectionable materials posted or otherwise
communicated by other Users, participants or visitors. You agree
to accept this risk. You agree that LiveLitigation and Live Cloud
Depositions, LLC shall have no responsibility or liability to you
for any such exposure you may experience. LiveLitigation does not
intentionally sponsor such offensive matter and you and all other
users are required to agree not to engage in the conduct which is
prohibited or restricted by this Agreement, but we do not, and
ordinarily cannot, undertake to police such conduct by users.
21. Adult or Mature Content; No Access To or Targeting of
Children.
There may be areas of LiveLitigation which are specifically
designated for "adult" or "mature" content. You agree that you
shall not transmit, post or otherwise communicate "adult" or
"mature" content outside of such designated areas by use of
LiveLitigation or the Services. You further agree that you shall
not target children with, and shall not permit children to have
access to, the areas designated as "adult" or "mature." If you are
an adult and you object to such "adult or "mature" content you
agree that you shall refrain from accessing such areas. Nothing in
this section shall be construed as authorizing you to transmit,
post, deliberately access, or otherwise communicate unlawful
pornographic matter or hate matter by use of LiveLitigation or the
Services, and you shall not do so.
22. You Warrant Your Authority for Use of Your
Information.
You represent and warrant to Live Cloud Depositions, LLC
that you have full authority to disclose and use Your Information
without violating the rights of any other party. If you do not
have full authority with respect to any information, then do not
supply it and do not use it as part of Your Information. YOU ARE
WARNED AND URGED TO USE PRUDENCE AND CAUTION TO LIMIT ANY
INFORMATION YOU PERMIT TO BE TRANSMITTED OR RECEIVED ON THE
INTERNET BECAUSE THE INTERNET IS FORMED OF INNUMERABLE COMPUTERS
CONTROLLED BY INNUMERABLE PERSONS OTHER THAN LiveLitigation, NO
PRIVACY OR SECURITY SYSTEMS OR METHODS ARE FOOLPROOF, AND THUS ANY
EXPOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION TO THE INTERNET CREATES INHERENT
RISKS OF DISCLOSURE TO UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS. LiveLitigation and
Live Cloud Depositions, LLC will make reasonable efforts to
maintain your information according to the LiveLitigation Privacy
Policy but it is neither theoretically possible nor financially
feasible to absolutely prevent any loss of privacy or security
concerning Your Information. BY USING LiveLitigation AND THE
SERVICES YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THESE RISKS.
23. License of Your User Information from You to Us.
For the purpose of enabling LiveLitigation to use Your User
Information without violating any rights you may have in Your User
Information, you hereby grant LiveLitigation and Live Cloud
Depositions, LLC a license to exercise all rights of copyright,
database, and publicity that you have in Your Information. This
license with respect to Your Information is a non-exclusive,
royalty-free, no-fee right which continues perpetually unless
affirmatively terminated by written notice to us by you, and which
may be exercised by Live Cloud Depositions, LLC, and its
successors and affiliates, world-wide in any medium now known or
which may become known in the future. We at LiveLitigation and
Live Cloud Depositions, LLC agree to limit our use of Your
Information to the LiveLitigation Privacy Policy, as that policy
has been amended from time to time and as that policy exists at
the time of use by LiveLitigation and Live Cloud Depositions, LLC
of Your Information. We will respect any opt-out election which
you have validly exercised and communicated to us in accord with
our applicable Privacy Policy. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO GRANT THIS
LICENSE OF YOUR INFORMATION TO US, THEN DO NOT USE LiveLitigation
AND THE SERVICES; LiveLitigation AND LIVE CLOUD DEPOSITIONS, LLC
CANNOT PROVIDE YOU THE SERVICES WITHOUT THIS LICENSE FROM YOU TO
US. You may click on the link
http://www.LiveDeposition/privacy.html
to view our current privacy policy.
24. Your Editing and Deletion of Your User Information.
LiveLitigation provides ways for you to edit Your
Information and preferences. To do so, please log into your
account using your User ID and password. You may request that your
LiveLitigation registration and User status be terminated and
deleted by sending an email to
admin@LiveLitigation.com
and filling out the form(s) provided at
https://www.livelitigation.com/cancel-local.html
or
https://www.livelitigation.com/cancel-remote.html.
To aid fraud prevention, termination and deletion may be deferred
for up to 90 days after you instruct termination. Please see the
topic Archival Retention of Your Information to read about what
information may remain in archived records after termination of
your registration and User status.
25. Archival Retention of Your Information.
In order to protect its systems against failures and loss
of data and to enable resumption and continuation of the Services
with minimal disruption and down time, LiveLitigation likely will
maintain parallel, redundant, backup, or other archival systems
("Archived User Information.") which may vary from time to time
depending upon the technology then in use by us. Such systems are
designed to archive information which can be recalled. As a matter
of course during operation of our systems Your Information is
likely to be included in Archived User Information. When your
registration and User status are terminated in our currently
active databases, there likely will remain pre-existing copies of
Your Information in Archived User Information that is being held
more or less independently of the currently active databases and
from which Your Information therefore will not have been deleted.
Reasonable efforts will be made to promptly include your
termination request in the most current Archived User Information
so that your termination instruction will be honored. However, it
is possible that in the event of loss or damage of the currently
active databases, older Archived User Information which still
contains Your Information will be used to restore service, thereby
resulting in restoration of Your Information in what then becomes
the currently active databases. You agree to accept this risk and
your sole remedy in such an event will be to again request
termination of your registration and User status. Even when you
request termination of your account, it will be necessary for
LiveLitigation to maintain some limited records of your
transactions with LiveLitigation. For example, we may maintain
some identifying information concerning you to keep a record of
your request for termination of your account as well as records of
our prior transactions with you for our financial and tax
reporting purposes.
