Facebook Platform Terms of Service Preface:

Facebook Platform is a set of APIs and tools that provides a way for external applications to access Facebook content on behalf of Facebook users. Our goal in creating the Facebook Platform is to allow any developer to build an application that integrates with the Facebook site in the ways our own applications do. Facebook Platform lets you integrate into the Facebook website, offers you the potential for mass distribution, and even gives you the freedom to build a business around your application.

We’re excited about Facebook Platform and invite you to build on it. Of course, we’re committed to protecting our users and our site while enabling you to create applications, so we require you to abide by some specific terms. Please read the full terms of service below, as they govern your use of Facebook Platform. Some examples of what’s covered in our Terms of Service:

• We do our absolute best to keep Facebook Platform up and bug-free, but you use it at your own risk.
• You own your application, and you’re responsible for developing, operating, maintaining, and supporting it. You’re also responsible for any content you show as a part of your application.
• You can’t use Facebook Platform for anything that infringes on anyone’s rights or intellectual property, generates spam, phishes, or is illegal.
• If your application allows file-sharing, you must adopt and implement an acceptable copyright policy, register an agent with the Copyright Office, and take some other steps, as outlined in the Facebook Platform Developer Copyright Information.
• You must treat users’ privacy with the same respect we do. If you directly collect personally identifiable information from users, you must post a privacy policy detailing what you’ll do with that info.
• You must be honest and accurate about what your application does and how it uses information from Facebook users. Your application cannot falsely represent itself.
• You can only show information from Facebook Platform to a user if you retrieved it on behalf of that particular user.
• You can only cache user information for up to 24 hours to assist with performance. The only exceptions are those listed in the Facebook Platform Documentation.
• You can’t show any ads or web search functionality on user profiles, but this restriction doesn’t apply on application “canvas” pages. The Facebook Platform Application Guidelines have more details.
• You can talk to the press and your users about your Facebook Platform application, so long as you do truthfully and without implying that your application is created or endorsed by Facebook (or otherwise embellishing your relationship with Facebook). However, you must get signoff from us before releasing any formal press releases. Check out the Facebook Platform Developer PR Policy for more info.
• You can’t use the word “face” in the name of your application, or the word “Facebook” before the top-level domain in your URL.

B. Presentation and Distribution

1) Your Facebook Platform Applications may display Facebook Properties retrieved through Facebook Platform in any format you choose, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement; provided that, you may not (a) display or otherwise provide any Facebook Properties to any person other than the Applicable Facebook User (i.e., the Facebook User uniquely associated by Facebook with the Call through which such Facebook Properties were retrieved), or (b) otherwise display or provide (or assist any third party to display or provide) to any person any Facebook Properties that such person would not properly have been able to access through the Facebook Site. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing will not prohibit you from displaying or providing information that you collect entirely independently of the Facebook Site and Facebook Platform, even if such information is identical to information contained in Facebook Properties;

2) You may not edit or modify Facebook Properties in any way, except with respect to graphic images, to re-size such images while maintaining the same relative proportions of the image.

3) You may not remove, obscure, or alter any notice of patent, copyright, trademark or other proprietary right appearing on or contained within Facebook Platform (including, without limitation, any Facebook Properties).

4) You may not store any Facebook Properties in any Data Repository which enables any third party (other than the Applicable Facebook User for such Facebook Properties) to access or share the Facebook Properties without our prior written consent.

5) You may not sell, resell, lease, redistribute, license, sublicense or transfer all or any portion of the Facebook Properties, or use or store any Facebook Properties for any purpose other than as specifically authorized herein.

6) Your Facebook Platform Applications may not be designed or implemented a way that might mislead a user into believing he or she is interacting directly with the Facebook Site when interacting with any of your Facebook Platform Applications, or that any of your Facebook Platform Applications were created by or are endorsed by Facebook, as determined by Facebook in its sole discretion. If you are directly directly collecting any personally identifiable information from any user, it must be clear that the information is being collected directly by you, and not by Facebook, and you must clearly post a link to your privacy policy at the point such information is collected. Such privacy policy must be at least as stringent and user-favorable as the Facebook Privacy Policy and you must fully comply with such policy in the collection, use and storage of such personal information, as well as complying with any privacy settings selected by the user for their Facebook account of which you are aware.

7) If any of your Facebook Platform Applications are designed to be presented in a “frame” or to be “embedded” into any page of the Facebook Site (e.g., via FBML), or you otherwise consent to any similar presentation, you grant Facebook the right to (a) link to your Facebook Platform Applications (and any Facebook Platform Application Content provided through your Facebook Platform Application) and (b) “frame” or otherwise display and permit third parties to display navigational elements and content (including, without limitation, advertising and promotional content) in conjunction with your Facebook Platform Applications and any Facebook Platform Application Content displayed on or linked to from the Facebook Site.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.B.1, 2.B.2 and 2.B.5 above, if (and only if) the Applicable Facebook User for any Exportable Facebook Properties expressly approves your doing so pursuant to a Full Disclosure Opt-In, you may additionally display, provide, edit, modify, sell, resell, lease, redistribute, license, sublicense or transfer such Exportable Facebook Properties in such manner as, and only to the extent that, such Applicable Facebook User may approve.

C. Confidential Information

The term “Facebook Confidential Information means any information of or relating to Facebook that becomes known to you through disclosure, observation or otherwise, and that either is designated as confidential by Facebook or that is not generally known or readily ascertainable to the public, including, without limitation, nonpublic information regarding Facebook Platform (including the Facebook Properties) and Facebook’s products, services, programs, features, data, techniques, technology, code, ideas, inventions, research, testing, methods, procedures, know-how, trade secrets, business and financial information and other activities. All Facebook Confidential Information remains the property of Facebook, and no license or other right in any Facebook Confidential Information is granted hereby. You will not disclose any Facebook Confidential Information to any third party, and will take all reasonable precautions to prevent its unauthorized dissemination, both during and after the term of this Agreement. If you are a corporate entity, you will limit your internal distribution of Facebook Confidential Information to your employees and agents who have a need to know, and will take steps to ensure that dissemination is so limited. You will not use any Facebook Confidential Information for the benefit of anyone other than Facebook. Upon Facebook’s written request, you will destroy or return to Facebook all Facebook Confidential Information in your custody or control. In addition to the terms of this provision, you and Facebook will continue to be subject to any non-disclosure agreement that you and Facebook have entered into separately. This provision will survive any termination of this Agreement.

D. Copyright Complaints; Repeat Infringer Policy

You agree to take whatever actions are necessary or are requested by Facebook to enable us to comply with our Facebook Copyright Policy and the take-down and other provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) or other applicable laws and regulations with respect to your Facebook Platform Applications and/or Facebok Platform Application Content. In addition, you acknowledge that in accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, Facebook has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users and developers who are deemed to be repeat infringers, and that you agree that you will, if requested by us, take reasonable steps to terminate access to your Facebook Platform Application for any user who we identify to you as a repeat infringer.

E. Customer Service.

You agree to provide Facebook with an e-mail address to which inquiries from Facebook Users regarding your Facebook Platform Application may be directed. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for providing all support and other information regarding your Facebook Platform Application to Facebook Users.

F. Specific Requirements for Certain Facebook Platform Applications that Permit Sharing of Content

This Section F. applies only to Facebook Platform Applications that permit a Facebook User to download, view, listen to and/or otherwise access any Facebook Platform Application Content owned by a third party and made available by another Facebook User. If your Facebook Platform Application falls into this category, you agree that you will:

1) Host a page containing either our sample copyright policy (with your name and contact information filled in), or another policy that imposes at least the same requirements on you and that we approve in writing (a “Developer Copyright Policy“);

2) Include a prominent link to your Developer Copyright Policy on each page of your Facebook Platform Application or other feature of your Facebook Platform Application (such as a profile box) through which Facebook Users can view, hear or otherwise access Facebook Platform Application Content owned by a third party and made available by another Facebook User, with the link being entitled “Report Infringing Content” or words to the same effect.

3) Register a Designated Agent to receive notices of claimed infringement with the U.S. Copyright Office. To register a Designated Agent, you must fill out the form located here: http://www.copyright.gov/onlinesp/agent.pdf. You may either fill out the form online and print it out, or print out the blank form and fill it in by hand. After you have completed the form, you must mail it, together with a check for $80 made out to the “Register of Copyrights” to the following address: Copyright GC/I&R, P.O. Box 70400, Washington, DC 20024.

4) Conscientiously follow your Developer Copyright Policy. PLEASE READ THE SAMPLE POLICY CAREFULLY. IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THAT SAMPLE POLICY, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE FACEBOOK PLATFORM IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR FACEBOOK PLATFORM APPLICATION.

5) Include the following statement reasonably prominently on each page of your Facebook Platform Application (or other interface provided by your Facebook Platform Application) through which Facebook Users can upload or otherwise make Facebook Platform Application Content owned by a third party available:

“By making any content available through this application, you represent and warrant that you own all rights necessary to properly do so.”

6) Without limitation of your obligations under this Section 2.F or the Developer Copyright Policy, you agree that you will:

(a) expeditiously (and in any event in no more than 48 hours) disable access to any Facebook Platform Application Content for which you receive a notice of claimed infringement that includes the information described in your Developer Copyright Policy, or as to which you otherwise have knowledge that it is infringing;

(b) promptly (and in any event in no more than 48 hours) follow up with anyone who submits a notice of claimed infringement that does not include all of that information, but who provides you with contact information, to ask them to provide any missing information; and

(c) promptly (and in any event in no more than 48 hours) terminate access to your Facebook Platform Application for any Facebook Users who are found to be repeat infringers.

THE STEPS DESCRIBED ABOVE ARE CONDITIONS OF FACEBOOK GIVING YOU ACCESS TO FACEBOOK PLATFORM ONLY. FACEBOOK IS NOT PROVIDING LEGAL ADVICE TO YOU, AND FACEBOOK DOES NOT GUARANTEE, REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT YOUR POSTING, IMPLEMENTING OR COMPLYING WITH ANY SAMPLE POLICY WE MAKE AVAILABLE OR ANY OTHER COPYRIGHT POLICY WILL PROTECT YOU FROM LIABILITY OR BRING YOU INTO COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE AND LIABLE FOR COMPLYING WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS, INCLUDING COPYRIGHT LAWS, IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR FACEBOOK PLATFORM APPLICATION, AND WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO OBTAIN INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL.

Section 3. Fees

We reserve the right to charge a fee for using Facebook Platform and/or any individual features thereof at any time in our sole discretion. If we do charge a fee for using Facebook Platform or any feature thereof you do not have any obligation to continue to use Facebook Platform or the applicable feature. However, if you do: (i) we reserve the right to specify the manner in which the fee will be calculated, the terms on which you will be invoiced and charged and the terms of payment; and (ii) any and all fees payable by you pursuant to this Agreement are expressed exclusive of all taxes and duties, including Value Added Tax (“VAT”) or any similar applicable sales tax. In addition to such fees payable, you will pay any sales, use, value-added or import taxes, customs duties or similar taxes that may be assessed by any state and/or jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”) that Facebook is legally required to charge on the applicable fees under this Agreement. If requested to do so by Facebook, or as otherwise required by applicable law, you will supply your VAT identification number to Facebook. We may also change the fees or fee structure for Facebook Platform or any feature thereof at any time in our sole discretion, and in such event your continued use of Facebook Platform or such feature constitutes your agreement to such change (provided, that you will not have any obligation to continue to use Facebook Platform or such feature).

Section 4. Ownership and Licenses

As between you and Facebook: (a) you retain all right, title and interest in and to, and Facebook obtains no rights of any kind (other than the rights and licenses expressly granted in this Agreement) in, Facebook Platform Applications you create and in the Facebook Platform Application Content, and all associated Intellectual Property Rights (subject to Facebook’s underlying rights in Facebook Platform and Facebook Site); and (b) Facebook retains all right, title and interest in and to, and you obtain no rights of any kind (other than the rights and licenses expressly granted in this Agreement) in, Facebook Platform (including without limitation all Facebook Properties), the Facebook Site, the Facebook Platform Documentation, any derivative works of any of them, and all associated Intellectual Property Rights.

You are granted a limited, nonexclusive, revocable license, during the term of this Agreement, to access Facebook Platform and Facebook Platform Documentation solely as necessary to run Facebook Platform Applications that meet all the requirements and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and to use any Facebook Properties provided to you via Facebook Platform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Facebook has the right at any time in its sole discretion, and immediately upon notice, to terminate the foregoing licenses and any other licenses and rights granted in this Agreement and to request that you delete all such Facebook Properties and all materials containing any Facebook Properties that are in your possession or control, and you will promptly comply with any such request (except, with respect to any Exportable Facebook Properties, to the extent that you have been granted any other rights with respect to such Exportable Facebook Properties by the Applicable Facebook User pursuant to a Full Disclosure Opt-In). ALL RIGHTS NOT EXPRESSLY GRANTED IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE HEREBY RESERVED BY FACEBOOK AND ITS RESPECTIVE LICENSORS.

By accessing Facebook Platform, or submitting any Facebook Platform Application to us to be hosted by us, you are directing us to store copies of that Facebook Platform Application (if applicable) and any and all Facebook Platform Application Content provided through any Facebook Platform Application on our servers. You hereby grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive right and license, with the right to sublicense, to: (a) access, reproduce, display, distribute, perform, and store on our servers your Facebook Platform Application and any Facebook Platform Application Content, and to create derivative works of Facebook Platform Application Content, as may be necessary or desirable to make such Facebook Platform Application and Facebook Platform Application Content available to Facebook Users in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Facebook Platform Documentation and the Facebook Platform Application Guidelines; and (b) otherwise access, use and analyze any Facebook Platform Application Content for our internal business purposes (e.g., for the purposes of targeting delivery of advertisements or other content to persons who have viewed particular types of Facebook Platform Application Content). You understand and agree that Facebook Platform Application Content that is displayed on the Facebook Site may continue to appear on the Facebook Site, even after you have terminated access to your Facebook Platform Application or terminated this Agreement, as such Facebook Platform Application Content may have been incorporated into user profiles, news feeds or other features, and that such usage may continue indefinitely.

You understand and acknowledge that Facebook may be independently creating Applications, content and other products or services that may be similar to your Facebook Platform Applications and Facebook Platform Application Content, and nothing in this Agreement will be construed as restricting or preventing Facebook from creating and fully exploiting such Applications, content and other items, without any obligation to you. You may from time to time elect, in your sole discretion, to provide suggestions, comments, improvements, ideas or other feedback or materials to us related to Facebook Platform or Facebook Site (collectively, “Feedback“). If you elect to provide us any such Feedback, you assign and agree to assign all right, title and interest in and to such Feedback to us, and acknowledge that we will be entitled to use, implement and exploit any such Feedback in any manner without restriction, and without any obligation of confidentiality, attribution or compensation or other duty to account. You agree to promptly take such actions as Facebook may reasonably request from time to time (including execution of affidavits and other documents) to effect, perfect or confirm Facebook’s ownership rights as set forth in this Agreement.

Section 5. Certain Developer Obligations, Representations and Warranties

(7) your Facebook Platform Application and the Facebook Platform Application Content will at all times comply with the terms of this Agreement and the Facebook Platform Application Guidelines, and any other policies or guidelines referenced in this Agreement or on the Facebook Site; and

(8) you will provide Facebook with information about a particular Facebook User of your Facebook Platform Application if Facebook reasonably believes that such information is necessary to prevent or investigate the commission of a crime.

Section 6. Publicity; Trademark Usage

A) You and we may generally publicize your use of Facebook Platform; provided, however, that you may not issue or consent to any press release (including to the Internet press, e.g., any blogs) with respect to Facebook Platform or this Agreement without our prior written consent. For more information, please see the Facebook Developer PR Guidelines. Facebook may, at any time in its sole discretion, prepare and issue press releases, statements, and promotional and other materials mentioning and/or describing Facebook Platform Applications you have created using Facebook Platform, identifying you as the developer of such Facebook Platform Applications, and otherwise describing the relationship between you and Facebook.

B) You may state that any of your Facebook Platform Applications that comply with the terms of this Agreement are “built on Facebook Platform”.

C) We may make available to you certain graphic images, trademarks, trade names, service marks or logos owned or licensed by Facebook or its affiliates (“Marks”) that you may use in conjunction with the display of Facebook Properties solely for the purpose of indicating that your Facebook Platform Applications were created to interface with Facebook Platform. You may not use the Marks (a) in a trademark manner or to suggest that Facebook is associated with, endorses, sponsors or has any other connection to any of your Facebook Platform Applications other than the fact that it was created to interface with Facebook Platform; or (b) in any manner that disparages Facebook, its affiliates or its licensors, or that otherwise dilutes or tarnishes the Marks.

You may not use the terms “Facebook” or “Face” as any part of the name of your Facebook Platform Application, including without limitation “Facebook [application name]“, “[application name] on Facebook,” “[application name] for Facebook,” or “Face[application name].” Further, you may not use the term “Facebook”, or variations or misspellings of Facebook (e.g. FBOOK), in the name of a URL to the left of the top-level domain name (e.g., “.com”, “.net”, “.uk”, etc.) — for example, URLs such as “facebook.xxx.com”, “faacebook.com “, or “facebookprofiles.net” are expressly prohibited. Other than your limited right to use the Marks in a non-trademark manner as provided in this Agreement, you may not make any use of the Marks. Facebook and its licensors retain all right, title and interest in and to the Marks, and all goodwill arising out of any use of the Marks by you will inure to the sole benefit of Facebook. You will not at any time now or in the future challenge or assist others to challenge the validity of the Marks, or attempt to register confusingly similar trademarks, trade names, service marks or logos. You agree to follow any Trademark Guidelines established by Facebook with respect to your use of any Marks as those guidelines may change from time to time. You must immediately discontinue use of any Mark as specified by us at any time in writing. We may modify any Marks provided to you at any time, and upon notice, you will use only the modified Marks and not the old Marks.

D) All trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, and trade dress on the Facebook Site are either trademarks or registered trademarks of Facebook or its licensors. Other than as specified in this Agreement, you may not copy, imitate or use any registered or unregistered trademark, service mark, trade name, logo, trade dress, URL or other business identifier of Facebook or third parties that advertise on the Facebook Site unless you obtain Facebook’s and any applicable third party’s prior written consent. In addition, you may not in any manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and you, or state or imply any relationship or affiliation between us and you or any other person or entity except as expressly permitted by this Agreement (including, without limitation, by stating or implying that Facebook or any third party that advertises on the Facebook Site supports, sponsors, endorses, or contributes money to you or your business endeavors).

E) You may not promote your Application as being intended or primarily useful for any unlawful activity.

Section 7. Account Identifiers

You are allowed to only create one Facebook Platform account per valid Facebook Site account. If you are an individual acting as a representative of a corporation or other legal entity that wishes to use Facebook Platform, then your individual Facebook Site account, or that of another employee of such entity will be deemed to satisfy this requirement. Facebook Platform accounts are associated with one or more public key/private key pairs, which you must use to access Facebook Platform. Examples include a Facebook-issued Access Key ID string (as a public key) and a Facebook-issued Secret Access Key string (as a private key). When you complete the account creation process, you will be issued unique account identifiers, and may add a public key to your account. Account identifiers (i) identify your account and (ii) allow your Facebook Platform Applications to make Calls to Facebook Platform. Account identifiers are immutable and will always uniquely identify your Facebook Platform account. Public key/private key pairs are unique to your account and are subject to change. Private keys are for your personal use only and you may not sell, transfer, lease, distribute, sublicense or otherwise disclose your private key to any other party, except when the private key is by necessity embedded in the source code of a client-resident Facebook Platform Application. You may use your public key in the open in requests to Facebook Platform; however, you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your private key. You are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your account identifiers. You should contact Facebook immediately if you believe a third party may be using your private key, or if your private key is otherwise lost or stolen. You are responsible for maintaining up-to-date and accurate information (including without limitation valid contact information) with respect to your Facebook Platform account. Facebook and its affiliates are not responsible for any unauthorized access to, alteration of, or the deletion, destruction, damage, loss or failure to store any data which you submit in connection with your account.

Section 8. Beta Testing

From time to time Facebook may conduct open beta tests (each a “Beta“) of new features or versions of Facebook Platform (each a “Beta Product“). If you choose to register for a Beta, your participation is subject to the following additional terms:

• You understand that the overall design of the Beta Product could change throughout the course of the Beta and that Facebook reserves the right to change or withdraw the Beta Product, discontinue the Beta, revoke your license to the Beta, or release the Beta Product as a final version at any time in its sole discretion.
• You agree to record and report all problems, issues, ideas, feedback and suggestions for enhancements to the Beta Product (“Beta Test Results”) to Facebook on a timely basis to the email address that will be provided to you along with the beta testing materials, and during the Beta period, you will not speak to the press (including Internet press, e.g., blogs) regarding the Beta or the Beta Product, without our prior written consent.
• You hereby assign all right title and interest in and to any Beta Test Results to Facebook and/or its affiliates, as applicable, and acknowledge that Facebook and/or its affiliates have the unrestricted right to use and exploit such Beta Test Results in any manner, with or without attribution, and without compensation or any duty to account to you for such use.
• You agree that any Facebook Platform Applications you build and release based on the Beta Test Product during the Beta Test will be labeled as “beta”.

Section 10. Release and Indemnification

A) You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release and covenant not to sue or pursue any other claim against Facebook, or any of its licensees, assigns or successors, for any and all damages, liabilities, causes of action, judgments, and claims: (i) pertaining to your Facebook Platform Applications or the Facebook Platform Application Content, or any intellectual property you develop that is based on, uses, or relates to Facebook Platform or any portion thereof; and/or (ii) which otherwise may arise in connection with your use of, reliance on, or reference to Facebook Platform or Facebook Platform Documentation.

At Facebook’s option, you will assume control of the defense and settlement of any Claim subject to indemnification by you (provided that, in such event, Facebook may at any time thereafter elect to take over control of the defense and settlement of any such Claim, and in any event, you may not settle any such Claim without Facebook’s prior written consent). Third party advertisers, technology providers and service providers are express and intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 10 and as such will be entitled to directly enforce their rights hereunder.

Section 13. Termination

You may terminate this Agreement at any time by ceasing to use Facebook Platform. You acknowledge and agree that Facebook may at any time in its sole discretion, without liability, with or without cause and with or without notice: (a) terminate this Agreement; (b) terminate or suspend your access to Facebook Platform, Facebook Properties and/or the Facebook Site or any portion or feature of any of them; and/or (c) remove, block, delete or disable access to your Facebook Platform Applications and/or or any Facebook Platform Application Content, including without limitation if we determine, in our sole discretion, that your Facebook Platform Application or any Facebook Platform Application Content is unsuitable for Facebook Platform, Facebook Site or Facebook Users. We further reserve the right, without liability, with or without notice and with or without cause, to discontinue Facebook Platform and/or any portion or feature thereof for any reason and at any time in our sole discretion. Upon any termination or notice of any discontinuance, you must immediately stop your use of Facebook Platform, and delete all Facebook Properties in your possession or control (including from your Facebook Platform Applications and your servers).

Section 14. Certain General Provisions

We may modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, at any time and in our sole discretion, by posting a change notice or a new agreement on the Facebook Site. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO STOP USING FACEBOOK PLATFORM. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF FACEBOOK PLATFORM FOLLOWING OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR NEW AGREEMENT ON OUR SITE WILL CONSTITUTE YOUR BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGE. No amendment or modification of this Agreement other than as provided above will be binding on Facebook unless set forth in a writing signed by an authorized representative of both parties. Except as specifically provided herein, if any portion of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and, upon Facebook’s request, the court will construe any invalid or unenforceable portions in a manner that most closely reflects the effect and intent of the original language. If such construction is not possible, the provision will be severed from this Agreement and the rest of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The failure by Facebook to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provision, nor in any way affect the right of Facebook to enforce such provision thereafter. This Agreement will be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement (including the Facebook Site Terms of Use, the Facebook Platform Documentation and the Facebook Platform Application Guidelines as incorporated by reference herein), constitutes the entire agreement between you and Facebook regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous representation, understanding, agreement or communication between you and Facebook, whether written or oral, regarding such subject matter. Each of Facebook’s affiliates are express and intended third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and may enforce any of its terms and exercise any of the rights to the same extent as Facebook. You and Facebook are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to or does create any type of joint venture, partnership or employer/employee relationship between you and Facebook or its affiliates. This Agreement is in the English language only, which language shall be controlling in all respects, and all versions hereof in any other language shall not be binding on the parties hereto. All communications and notices to be made or given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in the English language.
