Scope. This Agreement applies to the following services of GeoGo:

As described below, GeoGo is not responsible for game-related information available through our services and users are responsible for their own safety.

What We Mean. The websites and mobile applications above, including all associated software, content, products and data will be referred to throughout this Agreement simply as our “services.” References to “content” should be read in the broadest context possible; content includes among other things text, images, code, feedback, forum posts, your account details, emails, music, and audiovisual materials. References to "GeoGo" or "we" include GeoGo, Inc.’s officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees, contractors, representatives, successors, and assigns. This Agreement applies to “you” as a person accessing or using our services, whether you are an authorized or unauthorized user or beneficiary of our services under this or prior agreements between us.

Privacy Policy. GeoGo’s Privacy Policy explains how we treat your personal data and protect your privacy when you use our services. If you use a third party application of one of our API partners, any of the personal data you make accessible via the application is subject to that party’s Privacy Policy. By using our services, you agree that GeoGo can use your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and may store such data on our servers in the United States. Our services also use small data files called “cookies” to provide a personalized experience on our websites and mobile applications and to improve our services. By using our services, you agree to our use of cookies and similar technologies as described in our Privacy Policy. GeoGo’s Privacy Policy can be found here and through a “Privacy Policy” link at the bottom of our websites and in our mobile applications.

Other Terms. The use of our services may be subject to other terms, policies or guidelines. In the event there is any conflict between this Agreement and any other policies or guidelines that appear on our websites or through our mobile applications, this Agreement will govern. In the event there is any conflict between this Agreement and any other agreements required to use a specific component of our services, such as our API License Agreement, the specific terms in conflict will take precedence over the corresponding terms in this Agreement. If you navigate away from our websites or application to a third party website or application, the terms and conditions of use applicable to that website or application will govern your use of that website or application.
