By using our Services, you understand and agree to these terms (these “Terms”), which apply to your access to and use of oqton.ai or oqton.com.cn (the “Site”). Please read them carefully, especially those with respect to the exemption or limitation of Oqton’s liability, authorization of your data, application of law and dispute resolution. Some key terms are marked in bold or in capital letters to draw your attention. THESE TERMS CONSTITUTE A LEGALLY ENFORCEABLE AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN YOU AND OQTON.
If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company (or other entity) or if you are accessing the Services in your capacity as an employee, consultant or agent of a company (or other entity), you represent that you are an employee, consultant or agent of such company (or other entity) and you have the authority to agree, on behalf of such company (or other entity), to all of the terms and conditions of these Terms.
In order to access the Services, you (or an authorized person on behalf of your organization) must register with Oqton via the Site. By registering, you (and, if applicable, your organization) agree to (a) provide accurate, current and complete information about you as may be prompted by the registration forms via the Site, and (b) maintain the security of your password and identification. You are responsible for the activity that happens on or through your Oqton Account.
Your Oqton Account (i.e. your User ID for your Oqton Account) remains Oqton’s property, while you have the right to use it as permitted by applicable law. Oqton may verify your identity through such methods as password login and face verification, during which we may collect and save your facial photos and other information. By logging into the Service in such verification method, you understand and agree to authorize Oqton to collect and save such information. In order to improve the accuracy of the verification, you hereby authorize Oqton to compare the facial photos you provided to Oqton with your facial features saved by organizations permitted by applicable law or authorized by government offices if necessary.
To protect your Oqton Account (i.e. your User ID for your Oqton Account), keep your password confidential. If your Oqton Account cannot be used due to your personal reasons and needs to be retrieved, please provide the relevant information according to the requirements of Oqton, and ensure that the information provided is true, accurate and complete. If the information provided does not meet the requirements or the unique credentials of the account are no longer valid, resulting that the verification cannot be achieved and the ownership of the account cannot be determined due to security risks such as account theft, Oqton may refuse to provide the account retrieval service and take measures such as freezing or banning the account as the case may be.
