ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT
1. These terms form an agreement (the “Agreement”) that constitutes a legally binding contract between the Developer and UTD regarding the Developer's use of Uptodown and the Developer's upload, offer, and distribution of Applications to Users through Uptodown. By using Uptodown, the Developer can make Applications available to Users. By means of this Agreement, Uptodown will host the Application, but not any content provided through it that is not included in the Application.
  In the event of a separate written agreement between the Developer and UTD regarding the distribution of the Applications through Uptodown and in case of any inconsistency between such separate written agreement and this Agreement, the separate written agreement shall prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.
  
  During the term of this Agreement, the Developer expressly consents to and authorizes:
  
  - That Uptodown displays the Applications (and the materials provided together with the Applications) and makes them available to Users so they can view their descriptions, download, install, use and/or update them. This authorization applies to the Uptodown.com website, the Uptodown native application for Android, its native App Store for Android and any other Distribution Channel, as well as any of the official Uptodown Technologies, S.L. content channels, any API or technology that allows third parties to access and display the Applications.
  
  - That Uptodown creates materials such as videos, images, or texts about the Applications and uses any material within the Application or provided or published by the Developer in order to promote Uptodown and the availability of the Applications within Uptodown through any means.
  
  To use Uptodown to upload, offer, and distribute Applications, the Developer must agree to this Agreement and register for a Developer Account. The Developer cannot access and use Uptodown unless they accept this Agreement, or a separate written agreement in addition to this Agreement, and register and activate the Developer Account. The Developer undertakes to provide complete and accurate information through the Developer Account and to keep it up to date at all times. UTD shall process it in accordance with the privacy policy at https://en.uptodown.com/aboutus/privacy. The Developer is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the Developer Account's credentials and passwords. The Developer agrees to be solely responsible for all activities under their Developer Account. If the Developer becomes aware of or suspects any unauthorized use of their Developer Account credentials and/or password, they must immediately notify Uptodown Technologies, S.L.
2. The Developer represents and warrants that they have full capacity and are authorized to enter into this Agreement and that it does not conflict with any other contract or obligation to which they are subject.
  If an individual consents to this Agreement on behalf of a Developer who is an entity, company, partnership, trust, fund or vehicle, such individual represents and warrants that they have the full legal authority to bind such Developer. If they do not have the necessary legal authority, they shall not consent to the Agreement, and the Developer shall not be allowed to use Uptodown.
USE OF UPTODOWN BY THE DEVELOPER
The Developer shall access and use Uptodown only as necessary for the purposes set forth in this Agreement. The Developer shall not use Uptodown in any manner inconsistent with this Agreement, or in a manner that infringes third-party rights or violates any applicable laws or regulations.

The Developer shall not engage in any activity that interferes with, disrupts, damages, or gains unauthorized access to Uptodown, the Devices, servers, networks or other properties or services of UTD, UTD Affiliates or any third party.

The Developer shall be responsible for providing the files and uploading their Application or Applications (together with any descriptions, images, icons, URL addresses and videos) to Uptodown, providing all the necessary information about each Application and delivering assistance for any matter of the Applications not related to Uptodown, as well as accurately representing and conveying the required authorizations for the Applications to properly work with the Users’ Devices. The Developer is responsible for retaining a backup copy of the provided files and materials.

When providing the files and materials of the Applications, the Developer shall ensure that they comply with the policies and publication criteria in effect in Uptodown and shall not hide or misrepresent any features of the Applications from such review. Compliance with such policies and criteria is a condition of this Agreement.

The Applications shall be subject to the Uptodown evaluation and quality assurance process to ensure their compliance with policies, publication criteria, and this Agreement (without any obligation for UTD to monitor the Applications and without limiting any warranty granted by the Developer under the Agreement). Such policies and publication criteria may be reviewed and updated from time to time with reasonable prior notice. If the Developer changes any Application after providing it to Uptodown, they must resubmit it for the aforementioned evaluation purposes. The Developer agrees to cooperate in the evaluation process, answer questions, and provide information and materials reasonably requested for such purpose. If the Application is rejected after the above process, the Developer will be duly notified.

The eligibility criteria, policies and publication criteria referred to in this Clause may differ between Distribution Channels, depending, among other factors, on the laws applicable in the territories where each Distribution Channel is available. UTD may decide not to make an Application available in a given Distribution Channel if it does not meet the criteria applicable to such Distribution Channel. The Developer shall provide accurate age ratings for the Applications and any information reasonably required by UTD to comply with the laws applicable to each Distribution Channel, including laws on the protection of minors, age verification and privacy.

The Developer represents and warrants that they shall have the sole responsibility for their Applications and for their upload, offer and distribution through Uptodown and that Uptodown does not have any responsibility towards the Developer nor towards third parties in relation to such Applications nor for the consequences of the Developer’s actions, including any damage or loss that Uptodown may experience.

The Developer shall be solely responsible for the proper operation, all warranties, User assistance, and support for each of the Applications. The Developer shall provide Users in the Application with valid and accurate contact information for customer support and legal purposes, and shall respond expeditiously.

The Applications must be installable and operable on Devices in accordance with their descriptions, without causing any adverse effects. The Developer shall be responsible for the Applications, including their administration, management, maintenance, and updating, and for providing support to Users. The Developer will use all reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that any fault in or of the Applications is immediately corrected.

There is no commitment under this Agreement regarding the location and promotion of the Applications. The Developer agrees that Uptodown allows Users to rate the Applications and write their opinions about them. Application ratings can be used to determine their positioning on Uptodown. In addition, there is no warranty regarding any commercial or sales result deriving from making the Applications available through Uptodown.

UTD does not warrant that Uptodown is fault-free or free of interruptions and shall have no liability to the Developer for any failure of Uptodown, whether of a technical or other nature. Operation of Uptodown may be suspended for improvement and for corrective or preventive maintenance, with a reasonable commercial effort to keep the suspension as short as possible.

UTD reserves the right to change Uptodown and the services provided through it (including supporting it by advertising revenue and displaying advertisements and promotions based on content, queries or other information and including the provision of Applications on a chargeable basis when determined by the Developer) or impose limits or restrictions to its use, or any part thereof, at any time, with or without notice.
LICENSE GRANT
1. The ownership of any intellectual property rights in the Applications shall remain with the Developer or its licensors, and UTD or UTD Affiliates shall not acquire any right, title or interest in or to any Applications other than the licenses set forth below. Title, risk of loss, responsibility for, and control over the Applications shall at all times remain with the Developer.
  The Developer grants UTD and UTD Affiliates, who accept, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to:
  
  a) use, copy, run, perform, analyze and edit the Applications for evaluation and quality assurance purposes and monitor compliance with this Agreement (directly by UTD or UTD Affiliates or by any third party designated for such purpose).
  
  b) host, copy, display, promote, offer, market, distribute, make available to Users and allow Users to download the Applications through and in the operation and marketing of Uptodown, in each Distribution Channel and in the territories where each Distribution Channel is available (including the granting of licenses to Users), and making improvements to Uptodown.
  
  c) use, display and create materials derived from the Applications (including materials provided together with the Applications, materials published by the Developer regarding the Applications and the trademarks of the Developers and the Applications), for the promotion and marketing of Uptodown (including running promotional activities) or the availability of the Applications in Uptodown or the services provided through Uptodown.
  
  d) scan, test and analyze the Applications for security purposes, including the detection of malware, potentially harmful applications and vulnerabilities, and use and share the results of such analysis (such as hashes, signatures, technical metadata and verdicts) within the security products and services of UTD and UTD Affiliates and with their security partners.
  
  Such licenses shall be in force during the period during which Applications are available on Uptodown (e.g., until the Developer removes Applications, as provided under the following Clause). UTD and UTD Affiliates may sublicense the rights granted under this Clause to their service providers (such as hosting, content delivery or security service providers) solely to the extent necessary to operate Uptodown. They shall remain liable to the Developer for such service providers’ compliance with this Agreement.
2. The Users shall be authorized and granted a non-exclusive, worldwide, and perpetual license to run, display, and use the Applications downloaded onto the Devices through Uptodown, subject to any EULA established by the Developer within each Application, which shall be consistent with, and in all cases subject to, this Agreement. Such EULA shall be between the Developer and the User, and the Developer is solely responsible for compliance with applicable laws.
TERM, TERMINATION AND PRODUCT REMOVAL
1. This Agreement will take effect from the Developer's acceptance. It will remain in effect indefinitely until the Developer removes all Applications from Uptodown using the tools provided on Uptodown and cancels their Developer Account, terminating UTD’s and UTD Affiliates’ distribution rights so that no Application is available for distribution on Uptodown.
  In case the Developer removes only part of the Applications, this Agreement shall cease to apply to the removed Applications, and those removed Applications shall not be available for distribution on Uptodown.
  
  Upon termination or removal, the Applications shall be deleted from Uptodown, provided that UTD or UTD Affiliates may retain a copy of the Applications for legitimate technical support of existing Users.
  
  The removal of any Application to prevent further distribution through Uptodown: a) does not affect the license to Users who have acquired or downloaded the Application before its removal; b) does not delete the Application from Devices or from any other location on Uptodown where acquired applications and downloads may have been stored on the User’s behalf.
2. UTD is not under any obligation to supervise or control the Applications or their content. If UTD, at its own discretion or at the request of any third party, determines that an Application: a) infringes any applicable laws or third-party rights; b) breaches this Agreement (including any policies or criteria referred to in it); c) infringes agreements with Device manufacturers and authorized providers; or d) otherwise negatively impacts UTD, UTD Affiliates or its authorized providers, or if it creates an obligation of any kind or there are complaints by Users about the content or quality of the Application; UTD reserves the right to reject the Application, by removing, suspending, and/or reclassifying it on Uptodown.
  Upon termination of this Agreement, the Developer shall immediately cease all use of Uptodown. UTD will not be liable for compensation, indemnity, or damages arising from the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, without prejudice to any other right or remedy it may have.
3. UTD reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to suspend or permanently terminate any Developer Account if: (a) the Developer breaches this Agreement or any applicable policies; (b) the Developer engages in misuse of the Uptodown platform, including repeated violations of this Agreement or applicable policies; (c) the Developer or its Applications pose an actual or potential risk of economic, reputational, security, or legal harm to UTD or its Affiliates, Users, or third parties; or (d) the Developer or its Applications otherwise negatively impact the operation or integrity of Uptodown. Such measures may include, without limitation, restricting access to Uptodown, blocking the upload or distribution of Applications, or permanently disabling the Developer Account. In such cases, UTD shall, when reasonably practicable, notify the Developer of the action taken, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available under this Agreement or applicable law.
