INTRODUCTION TO PROFI.LY.

Upon your use of profi.ly you will register for the service and login to configure your account. Account configuration entails providing only your unique social network identifier. Profi.ly will never ask for login credentials to any social networks that have been linked to the service. Some social networks will use a user name as a unique identifier and others will use a generated number. Details about each networks user name are provided during account configuration. For purposes of these terms and conditions, people who register for and use profi.ly are referred to as Users.

PROFI.LY PROFILE SERVICES.

When a User adds a profile listing to the profi.ly service, he or she agrees to have certain information of their social network profile(s) revealed to other profi.ly users. Directly within profi.ly, this information is limited to a Users social network unique indentifier. However, when viewing actual profile listings, more information will be made available.

profi.ly also makes no warranties regarding the accuracy of the information contained within the system. profi.ly takes reasonable measures to prevent identity spoofing, though it is impossible to ensure that every profile a User submits is accurate and/or valid. Be mindful of this fact throughout your use of the profi.ly system.

COMMERCIAL USE.

The profi.ly services are for personal use only. Any use by, or on behalf of, a commercial entity is strictly prohibited without the express written permission of profi.ly management. Please contact us for details or to request permission for a commercial use license.
