The purpose of Scinup™ Network is to provide a service to facilitate professional networking among Users throughout the world. It is intended that Users only connect to other Users who they currently know and seek to further develop a professional relationship with those Users.

For as long as Scinup™ Network continues to offer services, Scinup™ Network shall provide (and seek to update, improve and expand, in similar and different new ways) the Scinup™ Network platform and service with the purpose of providing all members with professional networking connectivity, through Scinup™ Network’s proprietary tools, rules and protocols which Scinup™ Network may update, improve, discontinue and change at any time, at Scinup™ Network’s sole discretion.

Any other use of Scinup™ Network (such as seeking to connect to someone a User does not know or to use Scinup™ Network as a means of generating revenue through the sale of contacts or information to others) is strictly prohibited and is a violation of this Agreement.

We allow you to access Scinup™ Network as it may exist and be available on any given day. We have no other obligations, except as expressly stated in this Agreement. We may modify, replace, refuse access to, suspend or discontinue Scinup™ Network, partially or entirely, or to charge and modify prices for Scinup™ Network. All of these changes shall be effective upon their posting on our site or by email communication to you. We reserve all rights not expressly granted herein, including, without limitation, title, ownership, intellectual property rights, and all other rights and interest in Scinup™ Network and all related items.

Scinup™ Network reserves the right to withhold, remove and or discard any content available as part of your account, with or without notice.

You should review the applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any site to which you navigate from Scinup™ Network or relating to any applications you use or install from the site.

You acknowledge and agree that we may send you important information and notices regarding the Service by email or through other means, including mobile or other hand held devices. You acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability associated with or arising from your failure to maintain accurate contact or other information, including, but not limited to, your failure to receive critical information about the Service. You acknowledge, consent and agree that we may access, preserve, and disclose your registration and any other information you provide if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce this Agreement; (c) respond to claims of a violation of the rights of third-parties; (d) respond to your requests for customer service; or (e) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Scinup™ Network, the Scinup™ Network Affiliates, its Users and the public.

Scinup™ Network may limit the number of connections you may have to other Users and prohibit you from contacting other Users through use of the Services.
