Cleverbot Terms and Conditions
Effective June 1st, 2014
FIRSTLY...
1
Cleverbot holds thousands of conversations daily. These Terms and Conditions, and your good conduct in using the service, help to make that possible. We want you to know your rights and our rights and so we have prepared this agreement ("user agreement" or "agreement") between Cleverbot ("we", "our," "us") and you.
THE LEGAL STUFF
2
This agreement sets the terms of your use of the Cleverbot website and services ("Cleverbot") that include conversations, snips, tweaks, Cleverbot apps, and Cleverbot.com. This agreement is intended to encourage a fair, tolerant and enjoyable place for conversation, and communication of ideas and thoughts. We additionally operate Evie at Existor.com, to which these Terms and Conditions also apply.
3
Without advance notice and at any time, we may, for violations of this agreement or for any other reason we choose: (1) suspend or block your access to Cleverbot, (2) suspend or terminate Your Account and/or (3) remove any of your user content from Cleverbot.
4
We reserve the right to monitor Cleverbot, and your use of the service means you agree to such monitoring. We do not, however, guarantee that we will monitor at all.
5
Cleverbot is designed and supported for personal use only. You may not use Cleverbot to break the law, violate an individual's privacy, or infringe any person or entity's intellectual property or any other proprietary rights. You may not use Cleverbot to conduct transactions for any illegal goods or services. You may not use Cleverbot to promote your or other sites or services.
6
Cleverbot is intended to be a place for your entertainment. We are not responsible for any decisions you make based on something you read on Cleverbot. Cleverbot consists of user-generated content - it learns from people, and people post 'snips' and 'replies'. Things 'said' by Cleverbot in conversation may seem appropriate or inappropriate, but cannot be said to contain any form or intention or real meaning. Use the service with discretion, and at YOUR OWN RISK.
ACCOUNTS
7
To gain access to some parts of Cleverbot.com, you must create an account that includes an username, email address and password ("Your Account"). Of course, you can also use Cleverbot without signing in.
8
You are solely responsible for the information associated with Your Account and anything that happens related to Your Account.
9
You may not license, transfer, sell, or assign Your Account without our written approval.

10
Cleverbot comprises text, graphics, photographs, images, video, audio, software, code, website compilation, website "look and feel" and advertisements supplied by us or our licensors, which we call "Cleverbot Content".
