Contributions are considered non-confidential and non-proprietary unless expressly agreed otherwise, in writing, by B & Data Technology Co Ltd..

B & Data Technology Co Ltd. shall have no obligations to you with regard to its use or disclosure of Contributions, and shall have a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable and fully-paid right to use, reproduce, prepare derivative works of, perform, display, and distribute the Contributions, including any ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques contained in such Contributions, for any and all purposes without limitation, and to authorize others to do so as well, without attribution. B & Data Technology Co Ltd. may, in its sole discretion, remove or delete any Contribution, for any reason, without prior notice.

You represent and warrant that you either own or have all the necessary intellectual property rights in the Contributions you upload or share to the Community and that your Contributions do not infringe on the patent, copyright or other intellectual property rights of others. 

Rules of Conduct

In addition to these Terms and our Privacy Statement, which also apply to the Community, you must abide by the following rules of conduct:

  • Do not advertise, promote, endorse, or market, directly or indirectly, any third-party commercial products, services, solutions, or other technologies. While you may use the Community to provide supplemental information about your own business that might be of interest to other users (without spamming them), you may do so only after you receive the appropriate consents from other relevant users. If it doesn’t naturally arise from a conversation and need, you cannot mention your own business. Any use of the Community for commercial purposes is solely at your own risk and we assume no liability for such use.
  • Do not engage in any unlawful conduct. In particular, do not post, publish, or distribute any defamatory, inappropriate, obscene, infringing or other unlawful material or information.
  • Do not engage in personal attacks or any type of "flaming" of other users, i.e. say mean things online to deliberately hurt someone else. Do not "troll," i.e. post topics or opinions that are designed to provoke a negative response from one or more specific users and do not threaten, harass, stalk, defame, or defraud any person or entity.  
  • Do not use offensive language.
  • Do not engage in disruptive, such as persistent off-topic contributions or comments, or statements that might incite other users to violate these Terms or participate in illegal activities.
  • Do not contribute content that contains photos, software or other material protected by intellectual property laws, rights of privacy or publicity, or any other applicable law unless you own or have rights to these materials.
  • If you don’t have to, do not post any instructions, software or other materials that would allow participants or third parties to harm other users' computers or to inappropriately access software or websites.
  • Do not attack, abuse, interfere with, intercept, disrupt, or exploit any users, systems, or services, regardless of how accomplished and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, including but not limited to Denial of Service (DoS), monitoring, crawling, spamming, using bots or scripts, or distributing malware (such as viruses, Trojan horses, worms, spyware, or adware).
  • Do not falsely impersonate any other person in the forum, including B & Data Technology Co Ltd. employees or agents.
  • Do not distribute unwanted, unsolicited, or harassing mass email or other messages, promotions, advertising, or solicitations (“spam”) or send deceptive or false source-identifying information, including “spoofing” or “phishing.”
  • Do not misrepresent the source of anything you contribute.
  • Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to collect, store, or publish personally identifiable information (a) without the owner’s knowledge and consent, or (b) of a minor under the age of thirteen.

  • You are responsible for all actions you take based on information or advice you receive while online. Use your good judgment when evaluating information provided through the Community or any other communication service. The decision to share information or conduct transactions with anyone is your own; therefore, conduct your own research prior to making any decisions.
  • You acknowledge that you may compete with other users in various lines of business. It is therefore imperative that you act in a manner which does not violate any applicable state, federal or international antitrust laws, regulations or applicable orders. Accordingly, you are responsible for obtaining appropriate legal counsel while acting under these Terms. The Community shall not be used for the purpose of bringing about or attempting to bring about any understanding or agreement, written or oral, formal or informal, express or implied, between and among competitors with regard to their prices, terms or conditions of sale, distribution, volume of production, territories, customers, credit terms or marketing practices. Therefore, there shall be no contribution, discussion, communication, agreement or disclosure among users that are actual or potential competitors regarding their prices, discounts or terms or conditions of sale or licensing of products or services, pricing methods, profits, profit margins or cost data, production plans, market shares, sales territories or markets, allocation of territories or customers, or any limitation on the timing, cost or volume of their research, production or sales.
