Welcome to Bright City! This agreement (“Agreement”) describes your rights and responsibilities in your use of Bright City’s website, mobile apps, and service, both as a visitor and as a registered Bright City member, and what you can expect from us. By clicking “I accept” or by otherwise indicating that you agree, you are agreeing to these terms, so please take a moment to read this legally binding agreement.

We use “Bright City” here to refer to the Bright City.com website and our iOS and Android apps (also referred to as our “Services”) that provide you with access to that platform. We also use “Bright City” to refer to the companies operating our Services.

If you live in the United States, the Services are operated and provided to you by Mobile Science Technologies, Inc., 12540 Broadwell Rd., Ste. 2104 Milton, GA 30004.

Eligibility. Each person can only have one account and you may not share your account password with anyone else (even a family member sharing your home) or allow someone else to use your personal account. If you are under 13 years old (or any older age of consent required to use social media services where you live), do not use our services or provide any data to us. Convicted sex offenders, including registered sex offenders, and their households are not eligible for Bright City accounts; and we may also deny other account registrations we think would harm Bright City users.

Address Verification. It is not OK to submit inaccurate registration information, or to register if you know you don’t meet our eligibility requirements. Providing false registration information violates our norms and could constitute a crime.

Account Types. Bright City offers personal accounts to individual residential members, individual business representatives and special, restricted-functionality accounts to government agencies, such as city offices or police or fire departments, and to businesses, nonprofits, news media, and other organizations.

Privacy. We know that you do not want spam or marketing phone calls from third parties, so we will never sell or rent your personal information to third parties, and we won’t share it with a third party unless we have your authorization. Our privacy policy explains how we handle member and visitor data collected and generated in the course of visiting or using Bright City. Please read it, as it forms part of this agreement.

Content. You retain all ownership rights to the text, photos, video, and other content you submit to Bright City (collectively, your “Content”). You give us permission, in the form of a nonexclusive worldwide license, to use, copy, and publish your Content based on your Bright City settings and the selections you make when posting and as otherwise described in our privacy policy.

Do not provide us with any Content that you don’t have the right to publish, or that is defamatory, infringing, illegal or otherwise tortious. We do not proactively screen or monitor Content posted by users; however, we can remove Content posted by you, suspend, delete or deactivate your account or other privileges, or otherwise refuse service to you, if you violate this agreement or our other policies, or infringe intellectual property, or otherwise engage in behavior that we think harms a Bright City neighborhood, the Bright City brand, Mobile Science Technologies, Inc. or which we feel is inappropriate in any way.

Bright City does not interview, run background checks on, monitor, supervise, or control Bright City users.

Text Messaging Alerts. If you use our text messaging service, note that text message alerts are not intended to replace any primary phone service, such as a traditional landline or mobile phone that may be used to contact emergency services. Bright City does not charge for sending text messages, but your carrier may charge you. Alerts sent via SMS may not be delivered if your phone is not in range of a transmission site, or if sufficient network capacity is not available at a particular time; furthermore, within a coverage area, factors beyond the control of the user’s wireless carrier may interfere with message delivery, including equipment, terrain, proximity to buildings, foliage, and weather. You acknowledge that urgent alerts may not be timely received and that your wireless carrier does not guarantee that alerts will be delivered.
