You agree that any User Content that you post does not and will not violate third-party rights of any kind, including without limitation any Intellectual Property Rights (as defined below) or rights of privacy. WiredScore reserves the right, but is not obligated, to reject and/or remove any User Content that WiredScore believes, in its sole discretion, violates these provisions. You understand that publishing your User Content on the Service is not a substitute for registering it with the U.S. Copyright Office, the Writer’s Guild of America, or any other rights organization.

WiredScore takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any User Content that you or any other User or third party posts or sends over the Service, or any action you take in reliance on any User Content posted by another User.

Information WiredScore receives from the New York City government: WiredScore receives information from the New York City government and various city agencies such as the Department of Finance related to Users. This information is publicly accessible today and may likely include any of the public data on file in the Department of Finance Tax Assessment Roll database related to the Users’ buildings, including year built, # of floors, square footage, address, and other basic building information. Any inaccuracies the User finds in the data provided by the NYC Department of Finance or other third parties should be corrected by contacting those 3rd parties directly.

Sharing of Users’ Information

WiredScore will not share a User’s information with third parties without the User’s consent, except as noted below:

Who the User agrees to share information with: Any information or content that the User voluntarily discloses for posting to the Wired Certification website through acceptance of this agreement, such as survey data or information on a building’s profile page on the Wired Certification website, becomes available to the public to be searched for and viewed. The User can change privacy settings by contacting the Wired Certification Administrators at [email protected] or changing settings directly on the Wired Certification website by adjusting account settings. If the User removes information previously posted to the website, copies may remain viewable in cached and archived pages of the website, or if other users have copied or saved that information.

Information collected through the Wired Certification initiative will be provided in Application Programming Interface (“API”) format to the New York City Economic Development Corporation (“NYCEDC”). The NYCEDC retains the right to make this information available to the public and accessible through various New York City government websites, pursuant to NYC Open Data legislation – Local Law 11 of 2012 (http://www.nyc.gov/html/doitt/html/open/local_law_11_2012.shtml) and the Department of Information Technology & Telecommunications (“DoITT”) Open Data Policy and Tech Standards.

What happens in the event of a change of control: In the event of a change of control of the Wired Certification Initiative, the User’s information such as survey responses and building profile information may be transferred to a new managing entity.

Instances where WiredScore is required to share the User’s information: WiredScore will disclose the User’s information where required to do so by law or subpoena or if WiredScore reasonably believes that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law and the reasonable requests of law enforcement; (b) to protect the security or integrity of WiredScore’s service; and/or (c) to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of WiredScore, WiredScore’s users or others.

Keeping the User’s information safe: WiredScore cares about the security of the User’s information, and uses commercially reasonable safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of all information collected through Wired Certification. To protect the User’s privacy and security, WiredScore utilizes a two-stage registration process (it includes both requesting a unique password and sending an identity validation email to the User’s account) to verify the User’s identity before granting account access. The User is responsible for maintaining the secrecy of the unique password and account information, and for controlling access to email communications from WiredScore, at all times. However, WiredScore cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information the User transmits to WiredScore or guarantee that information on the service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. WiredScore is not responsible for the functionality or security measures of any third party.

Compromise of information: In the event that any information under WiredScore’s control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, WiredScore will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and where appropriate, notify those individuals whose information may have been compromised and take other steps, in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations.

Control of account information and settings: Users may update their account and survey info at any time by logging in to their account and changing the data reflected. If the User has any questions about reviewing or modifying information, WiredScore can be contacted directly at [email protected]
