TERMS & CONDITIONS

Thank you for visiting www.spartancamera.com (the “Site”), operated by spartancamera.com, Inc. (“Premium Service” or “we” or “us”). Please carefully read these Terms of Use (“Terms”) so you understand how we operate this Site, what we can offer and how we can work together. Please also read our Privacy Policy. By using the Site and the Premium Services, you are agreeing to the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy posted at the time of your visit.

About Us

Premium Services offers the Web Portal and associated Mobile Applications which are used to provide a premium function for the Spartan line of cameras.

Our Customers

The Site is open to anyone, but some of the Premium Services are only available to registered members (“Members”). You can visit the Site without registering and we will consider you a “User.”

Membership Responsibilities

When you become a Member, you agree to the following:

You have provided true information when you registered to be a Member;
You have given us a valid email address, and we may confirm upon registration, or at any time thereafter, via a confirming e-mail which may require a response to complete your registration or keep it active;
You will notify us if something changes;
You are not breaking any laws when you use the Premium Services; and
You will not violate these Terms as a Member.

If you become a Member, you are responsible for the Content and activities in your account, for protecting your Content with a secure password and not sharing your password with anyone. We recommend using a combination of numbers, symbols and lower and upper case letters to create a secure password.

Premium reserves the right to terminate your Membership at any time (even if you’ve paid), without warning for any or no reason, with or without prior notice or explanation and without liability, and can even take legal action if needed.

For example, please note that it is our policy to terminate the accounts of Members who repeatedly infringe the intellectual property rights of others. We have a similar policy for Members who violate these Terms or commit illegal acts using the Site or Premium Services—although we may, in our discretion, instead deny, restrict or suspend access to all or any part of the Site or Premium Services or terminate a Member’s account when something similar occurs.

You may cease use of the Premium Services at any time. Even after you are no longer a Member, you will still be responsible for the promises you have made to us about your Content (defined below). You’ll be responsible for any damages that result from your breaking those promises as further outlined below.

Cost and Pricing

Visiting: There is no cost to visit the Site or to register as a Member.
Free Credit: Each newly registered Premium camera will add one free credit to your account providing full use of the portal services for one month for one camera. This is not applicable to all models.
Premium Service: These are in the form of monthly credits that you purchase online. A monthly credit will provide for a single camera to operate for one month against the web portal and in conjunction with our free mobile applications. If you are a user of one of these services, we consider you a “Paying Member.” All Terms apply unless explicitly stated.
Data Plan: The bill cycle of all data plans will start on the same date as the purchase date.

Photos are maintained on our server for up to 30 days before they are individually purged. There are no restrictions on the number of photos a camera can upload including thumbnails and high res images during the 30 days of operation. Your device wireless plan covers the bandwidth used and your Premium Credit provides complete use of the portal and mobile apps for your active devices.
