Topdownloads.net provides a centralized location where software
publishers may submit new products and product updates to Topdownloads Networks for
evaluation. Properly submitted products and product updates will be included
in the Topdownloads Downloads library, subject to these terms, conditions and
notices (these "Terms"). Your use of Topdownloads.net (the "Service") is based on
your acceptance, without modification, of the Terms.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify these Terms and
the Service fees, at any time, effective upon the date we post a new set of
Terms on the Service site. Your continued use of the Service constitutes
your binding acceptance of these Terms, including any changes or
modifications that we may make. If any part of these Terms or any future
changes to these Terms are not acceptable to you.
We also reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to restrict, suspend
or terminate your access to all or any part of the Service at any time for
any reason without prior notice or liability. We may change, suspend or
discontinue all or any aspect of the Service at any time, including the
availability of any Service feature, database, or content, without prior
notice or liability. We reserve the right to remove any material that you
submit to the Service for any reason without prior notice to you. Our goal
is to ensure timely processing services; however, we do not guarantee that
your product will be processed within the expected timeframes associated
with any Topdownloads Downloads program. You will not be entitled to a refund during
service outages that are caused by our maintenance on the servers or the
technology that underlies the Service, failures of our service providers
(including telecommunications, hosting and power providers) computer
viruses, natural disasters or other destruction or damage of our facilities,
an act of God, war, civil disturbance or other cause beyond our reasonable
control.
Submission Requirements
The Service fees are processing fees and only entitle you to have your
product evaluated by Topdownloads Networks. Submitting a product or product update
to the Service does not guarantee that we will include it in our Topdownloads
Downloads library or place it on Topdownloads . We will not issue you a
refund for Service fees if we reject your product during the evaluation
process or at any time thereafter. For this reason, it is important that you
become familiar with the Submission Requirements that we have developed to
assist publishers during the submission process.
Member ship Payment, Renewal, and
Cancellation
The subscriptions have a required minimum term of one month, as measured
from the date you purchase your subscription. During each of the first
month, we will charge your credit card the applicable fee at the beginning
of each thirty-day billing cycle. After the first three months, your
subscription will automatically renew for additional thirty-day periods on
the monthly anniversary of your subscription purchase date.
- After the first months, we will continue to renew your
subscription and charge your credit card a monthly fee until you cancel,
which you may do at any time.
- Once you cancel your subscription, your access will be terminated at
the end of the thirty-day billing cycle in which you submit your
cancellation request.
Your Credit Card
You are responsible for the full payment of the Service. Service fees are
not refundable for any reason.
You may use a major credit card in order to submit materials to the
Service. If you choose to use your credit card to pay for your use of the
Service, you hereby authorize us to charge your credit card to pay your
initial submission fees and for any automatic renewals. If you have selected
a Topdownloads subscription that renews automatically, we will renew it
automatically and we will charge your credit card for the price of a
then-current subscription. In certain circumstances we may accept payment
from online payment services that you designate.
You agree to pay all fees and charges that you incur through your
account, including, but not limited to, applicable taxes. You will also be
responsible for charges for any products or services that you purchase that
are offered for sale through the Service. In addition, you are also
responsible for paying any amounts billed to your credit card by someone who
uses your card without your permission, even if your credit card company
does not cover such costs.
If we do not receive payment from your credit card issuer or its agent,
you agree to pay all amounts due upon our demand. Your card issuer agreement
governs your use of your designated card in connection with the Service, and
you must refer to that agreement and not these Terms to determine your
rights and liabilities as a cardholder.
Protect Your Password and Subscription
You agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information
about yourself as requested in the Service's registration process and to
update your information. You may not reveal your subscription password to
anyone else and you may not use anyone else’s password. You are responsible
for maintaining the confidentiality of your subscription account and
password. Unauthorized access to the Service is a breach of these Terms and
a violation of the law.
Requests For Removal of Listings within the
Topdownloads Downloads Library
In addition to indexing and listing material that is submitted directly
by a publisher, the Service also lists material that is freely available on
the World Wide Web. Occasionally the publisher of a particular software
title that is freely available on the World Wide Web may request that we
remove such software title from our search results. Requests for removal
should be made by following the "Remove product" link on all Product Detail
pages. We will consider such requests individually.
Third Party Sites and Content
The Service contains links to other Internet sites that we or third
parties offer and your use of each of those sites is subject to the terms
and conditions, if any, that are contained on those sites (the "Third Party
Terms"). We have no control over such third party sites and we are not
responsible for any changes to any third party site or for the contents of
any third party site, including, without limitation, any links that may be
contained in such a site. Our inclusion of any link to a third party site is
not an endorsement of that site. Our inclusion of any document in the
Service’s search database is not an endorsement of that document, the
contents of such document, or the companies owning such documents.
Your Conduct on the Service
In addition to Topdownloads, certain software titles may, in our
sole discretion, also become available to certain of our partners around the
world.
If we discover that you have manipulated the data or statistics for a
certain product, we reserve the right to remove the product from the Topdownloads
Downloads library and from Topdownloads.
By posting messages, inputting data, or engaging in any other form of
communication through the Service, you are granting us permission to use,
modify, distribute, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, reproduce,
publish, sublicense, create derivative works from, transfer, or sell any
such communication and sublicense to third parties the unrestricted right to
exercise any of the foregoing rights granted with respect to your
communication.
In addition, by making your copyrighted work available for download in
our Topdownloads Download library, you certify that you own all intellectual
property rights in such work and grant us, our affiliates, and our business

transmit, distribute, display, publish, perform, and create derivative works

for the limited purposes of (i) distributing the work, either electronically
or via other media, to users seeking to download or otherwise acquire it,
and/or (ii) storing the work in a remote database accessible by users, for a
charge. Such license shall apply to distribution and storage of the work in
any form, media, or technology now known or later developed.

distribute, perform display or in any way exploit any of the materials or
content or the service in whole or part.
If the Service contains bulletin board services, chat areas, news groups,
forums, communities and/or message or communication facilities
(collectively, the "Forums"), you agree to use any Forum only to send and
receive messages and material that are proper and related to that particular
Forum. Without limiting the foregoing, you agree that you will not (i)
defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate the legal right
of others; (ii) publish, post, upload, distribute or disseminate any
inappropriate, profane, defamatory, infringing, obscene, indecent or
unlawful topic, name, material or information; (iii) upload files that
contain viruses, corrupted files, or any other similar software or programs
that may damage the operation of another person's computer; (iv) advertise
or offer to sell any goods or services for any commercial purpose; (v)

download any file posted by another user of a forum that you know or
reasonably should know, cannot be legally distributed in such matter, (vii)
falsify or delete any author attributions, legal or other proper notices or
proprietary designations or labels of the origin or source of software or
other material contained in a file that is uploaded; or (viii) restrict or
inhibit any other user from using and enjoying the forum. We reserve the
right to terminate your access to any or all of the forums at any time
without notice for any reason whatsoever.
If, in our sole discretion, you choose a username that is obscene,
indecent, abusive or which might otherwise subject Topdownloads Networks to public
disparagement or scorn, we reserve the right, without prior notice to you,
to automatically change your username, delete your posts from the Forums,
deny you access to the Forums, or any combination of these options. If you
continue to choose usernames that we find objectionable, we reserve the
right to permanently terminate your access to the Forums, the Service or
both.
You will not use the Service for illegal purposes. Use of the Service is
subject to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained herein
shall limit our right to comply with governmental, court and law enforcement
requests or requirements relating to your use of the Service or information
provided to or gathered by us with respect to such use.
Legal Policies and Notices
You hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold Topdownloads Networks, and all of
our officers, directors, owners, agents, information providers, affiliates

fees) incurred by any Topdownloads Party in connection with any claim arising out of
(1) any use or alleged use of your account or password by any person,

defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by
you, and in such case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of such
claim.
The listing, or absence of listing, of any document in the Service’s
search database does not imply any warranty or guarantee by us, for any
companies, products, or services described in such documents. We disclaim
any and all responsibility or liability for the accuracy, content,

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.
IN ADDITION, WE DO NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS TO BE OBTAINED
FROM USE OF THE SERVICE OR THE CONTENT. THE SERVICE AND THE CONTENT ARE
DISTRIBUTED ON AN "AS IS, AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. ANY MATERIAL DOWNLOADED OR
OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICE IS DONE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND
RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY POTENTIAL DAMAGES TO YOUR
COMPUTER SYSTEM OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE DOWNLOAD OF ANY SUCH

These Terms shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Queensland, and the parties irrevocably consent to bring any action to
enforce these Terms in the federal or state courts located in Brisbane,
Queensland. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Topdownloads
Networks with respect to the Service, and supersedes all previous written or
oral agreements. If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or
unenforceable pursuant to applicable law, then the invalid or unenforceable
provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that
most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder
of the Terms shall continue in effect. Some states do not allow exclusion of
implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply
to you. In such states, our liability and that of our third party content
providers and their respective agents shall be limited to the greatest
extent permitted by law.
