Jive Software Web Site Terms of Use
(last updated May 26, 2011)
Welcome to the Jive Software web site (the “Site”). Among other things, this Site is intended to (a) provide you with information about Jive and our products and services, (b) allow access to license downloads, support, white papers, training materials, videos, marketing collateral and other content, (c) permit you to post and upload certain designated types of content and interact with us and others, and (d) provide you the opportunity to contact us directly. While we want you to enjoy the experience of visiting our Site, we also want you to understand the terms to which you agree when visiting the Site. References to “we” or “us” or “Jive” herein refer to Jive Software, Inc. and our affiliates, subsidiaries, service providers and designees as deemed appropriate by us. For purposes of these Terms of Use, “Site” does not include any virtual community that we or our service providers may host on your behalf or which you may host yourself through use of our products. To the extent that you or your organization acquires Jive products or services under a separate agreement (e.g. master license agreement, clickwrap, etc.), your use of such products and services will be governed by such other agreement and not these Terms of Use. Rather, these Terms of Use apply to your access and use of the Site only.
Compliance with Terms and Eligibility
By accessing this Site, you are agreeing to these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy (each found at www.jivesoftware.com/legal) as well as other legal notices, terms and policies on this Site (together referred to as “Terms”), all of which are expressly incorporated herein by this reference.
You agree to use the Site only in accordance with the Terms, whether you are a “Visitor” (which means that you simply browse the Site) or you are a “Registrant” (which means you have registered with us on the Site). The term “User” means a “Visitor” or a “Registrant”. Please read and save all of the Terms. If you do not agree with the Terms, do not use this Site or any of its features. If you register to become a Registrant you will be required to indicate your acceptance to these Terms during the registration process.
Use of the Site and its features and registration to be a Registrant (“Registration”) is void where prohibited. If you are under 18, you may use the Site only with involvement of a parent or guardian.
Amendment
We may amend or terminate any Terms at any time and such amendment or termination will be effective at the time we post the revised Terms on the Site. The date of the most recent update of these Terms of Use will be as set forth above. Each time you use the Site you should visit and review the then current Terms that apply to your transactions and use of this Site. Your continued use of the Site after we have posted revised Terms signifies your acceptance of such revised Terms. If you are dissatisfied with the Site, its content or any Terms (including as modified), you agree that your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using the Site. The Terms are the entire agreement between you and Jive with respect to your use of the Site; provided that additional terms and conditions will apply with respect to your download and use of Jive products and services (e.g. license agreement).

EACH OF THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS SECTION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE OTHER PARTY ENTERING INTO THE TERMS.
The Terms are accepted upon your use of the Site or any of its features and is further affirmed upon you becoming a Registrant (if applicable). The Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Jive regarding the use of Site and its Content, services and features. The failure of Jive to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in the Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The Terms operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. If any provision of the Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision is deemed severable from the Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. All waivers and amendments must be in a writing signed by both you and Jive.
