1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

The City of San Diego ("City") provides to you the Get It Done app for mobile devices including smart phones and tablets (“GID”) subject to the following Terms of Service Agreement (“Agreement”) which may be updated by the City from time to time without notice to you. By accessing and using GID you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provision of this Agreement.

2. DESCRIPTION OF GID

GID provides users with an application to report service issues to the City and to check on the status of those requests. It also provides users the opportunity to share those reports. It allows users the opportunity to view requests submitted by other users who have requested that particular reports be shared.

Unless otherwise expressly stated, any new features that modify or enhance GID are covered by this Agreement.

You are responsible for obtaining access to GID, and that access may involve third-party fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime charges). You are responsible for those fees.

You understand that the technical processing and transmission of the GID services, including your requests, may involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices.

3. YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS

If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, offensive, not current or incomplete, or the City has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, offensive, not current or incomplete, the City has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the GID services (or any portion thereof).

4. PUBLIC RECORDS

Registration data and service requests you submit using GID are subject to all applicable City, State and Federal public records laws.

5. MEMBER CONDUCT

You understand that all information, data, text, photographs, graphics or other materials ("Content"), whether marked by the user as shared or not, are the sole responsibility of the person from whom such Content originated. This means that you, and not the City, are entirely responsible for all Content that you submit or otherwise make available via GID. The City does not control the Content posted via GID and does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content. You understand that by using GID, you may be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent or objectionable. Under no circumstances will the City be liable in any way for any Content, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any Content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content submitted or otherwise made available via GID.

The City is under no obligation to enforce this Agreement on your behalf against another user. While the City encourages you to let it know if you believe another user violated this Agreement, the City reserves the right to investigate and take appropriate action at the City’s sole discretion.

You agree to not use GID to:

 (a) submit Content that is false or inaccurate;

 (b) submit Content that does not generally pertain to the designated topic or theme;

 (c) submit or otherwise make available any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;

 (d) harm minors in any way;

 (e) impersonate any person or entity, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity;

 (f) submit or otherwise make available any Content that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships (such as inside information, proprietary and confidential information learned or disclosed as part of employment relationships or under nondisclosure agreements);

 (g) submit or otherwise make available any Content that infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights ("Rights") of any party;

 (h) submit or otherwise make available any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, "junk mail," "spam," "chain letters," "pyramid schemes," or any other form of communication not relevant to specific City service requests;

 (i) submit or otherwise make available any material that contains software viruses or any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment;

 (j) intentionally or unintentionally violate any applicable local, state, national or international law;

 (k) “stalk" or otherwise harass another; or

 (l) collect or store personal data about other users in connection with the prohibited conduct and activities set forth in paragraphs (a) through (k) above.

You acknowledge that the City may or may not pre-screen Content that is shared, but that the City and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse, or remove any Content that is available via GID. Without limiting the foregoing, the City and its designees shall have the right to remove any Content that violates this Agreement or is otherwise objectionable. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any Content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such Content.

You acknowledge, consent and agree that the City may access, preserve and disclose your account information and Content if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to:

 (i) comply with legal process;

 (ii) enforce this Agreement;

 (iii) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third parties;

 (iv) respond to your requests for customer service;

 (v) protect the rights, property or personal safety of the City, its users and the public.

You may not attempt to override or circumvent any of the usage rules embedded into GID. Any unauthorized reproduction, publication, further distribution or public exhibition of the materials provided on GID, in whole or in part, is strictly prohibited.

You may not trace any information of any other GID user or visitor or otherwise use GID for the purpose of obtaining information of any other GID user.

You may not modify or create derivative works of GID, decompile or reverse engineer GID or otherwise attempt to create the source code from GID, or in any way attempt to, or encourage or assist any other person to, circumvent or modify any security technology or software that is part of GID.

You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to GID or the computer systems and networks connected to GID through hacking, password mining, or any other means.

You may not use any robot, spider, search/retrieval application, or other automated device, process or means to access, retrieve, scrape, or index any portion of GID or any City content. You may not access, retrieve or index any portion of GID for purposes of constructing a searchable database of data collected by GID.

You may not release the results of any performance or functional evaluation of GID to any third party without prior written approval of the City for each such release.

You may not take any action that imposes, or may impose, in the City’s sole discretion, an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on the City’s technology infrastructure or otherwise make excessive traffic demands of GID.

6. INTERSTATE NATURE OF COMMUNICATIONS ON GID

When you use the application, you acknowledge that in using GID to send service requests, you will be causing communications to be sent potentially through a variety of networks (Internet service provider, wireless phone network, etc.). As a result, even communications that seem to be intrastate in nature can result in the transmission of interstate communications regardless of where you are physically located at the time of transmission. Accordingly, you agree that use of the GID may result in interstate data transmissions.

7. CONTENT SUBMITTED ON GID

With respect to Content you submit on GID, the City may use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, and publicly display such Content for the purposes of promoting GID or any other City-related efforts. This right does not terminate.

The City reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, GID (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that the City shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the GID (or any part thereof).

12. TERMINATION

Your use of Third Party Services is at your own risk and you are solely responsible for complying with all legal and contractual requirements necessary for using Third Party Services.

14. THE CITY’S PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

You acknowledge and agree that GID contains proprietary and confidential information that is owned by the City and protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws. You will not use such proprietary information in any way whatsoever except for use of GID in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.

20. MISCELLANEOUS

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and the City with respect to your use of GID, superseding any prior version of this Agreement between you and the City with respect to GID.

If any provision of this Agreement shall be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement and shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

The City’s failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

You agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to your use of GID must commence within one year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.

The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
