The following is a legal agreement between You and VIVE FZE, the owner and operator ("We") of VIVE-AR.com website and related applications (the "Site" or " VIVE-AR "). These terms of use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Site and its Visual Content.
"Visual Content" shall refer collectively to images, videos, augmented reality and virtual reality applications available from the VIVE-AR website. "Image(s)" means photographs, vectors, drawings and the like. "Videos" means any moving images, animations, films, footage or other audio/visual representations, excluding still images, recorded in any format. “Augmented reality” is defined as a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented (or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPSdata. “Virtual reality” is defined as computer technologies that use software to generate the realistic images, sounds and other sensations that replicate a real environment (or create an imaginary setting), and simulate a user's physical presence in this environment. VR has been defined as "...a realistic and immersive simulation of a three-dimensional environment, created using interactive software and hardware, and experienced or controlled by movement of the body" or as an "immersive, interactive experience generated by a computer".
The Site provides a platform to a community of registered users (“You” or “users”) to upload and display Visual Content and enhance Visual Content for augmented reality production and virtual reality production (the “Services”).
