Ownership of Your Survey
You retain ownership of your intellectual property rights in your survey and the responses collected through your survey. We do not claim ownership over any of your survey or response data. We are only a tool that helps our users collect, analyze, and share data easily. This does not grant us any licenses or rights to your data except for the limited rights needed for us to promote and provide our services and as otherwise described in this document.
Your ownership only gives you the right to use your data in this website or elsewhere. It does not mean permanent storage or availability of your data in our website. It is your responsibility to frequently download or copy your data for permanent use.
We use artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze responses to surveys created by users and to generate information about how people view or respond to various aspects of life. Such information will be completely anonymous, and it will not be linked to any specific survey or its creator, individual survey responses, or associated participants. Your use of our services indicates that you allow us to do so about responses to the surveys you create and that you fully agree that you have no ownership of such information we generate through those activities.
Note that you do not have any ownership of the software, interface design, system design and database design that we produced and you fully agree to this.
Copyright Claims
We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe that your content has been exploited in a way that constitutes copyright infringement in our website, you may contact us for claims of copyright infringement.
User Content
We display content such as surveys, responses, and comments created by our users. Such content is the sole responsibility of the user who creates it. You must ensure that you have all the rights and permissions used to create your content. Do not use content from a third-party's services unless you have first obtained the permission of its owner, are the owner, or are otherwise authorized by law to do so. The content you create must comply with these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. You agree that you are fully responsible for the content you create, including any legal matters due to your content. We are not responsible for any actions you take with respect to your content.
Review of User Content
We have no obligation to monitor or review any user-created content. However, you agree that, in order to ensure compliance with these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, we have the right to review user-created content to determine whether it violates these Terms of Use or whether our services are used properly. You also agree that we have the right to modify, prevent access to, disable, delete, or refuse to display user-created content for any reason.
Featured Surveys
When your survey has ended and is findable through the search feature in our website, we may feature it on the homepage if we think that it contains helpful information for the public or demonstrates proper use of our services. We may or may not notify you of such use of your survey. We may provide an appropriate picture for the survey, and we are responsible for the use of the picture. If your survey is featured and you want it to be removed, please contact us and we will remove it as quickly as possible.
Shared Surveys
When your survey is findable thorough the search feature in our website, you need to ensure that it does not contain confidential business data or personal information such as names and email addresses. If your survey is created only for the purpose of testing to see how our website works, you should not make it findable in search. You agree that we have the right to delete your survey from search results for any reason or prevent its results from being viewable in search results. If this happens to your survey, you still have full access to your survey and its results when you sign into our website.
Citation of Surveys
You have permission to cite a survey and its results created in our website in other places without prior permission. However, you are required to credit its creator (if shown in the survey) and AllCounted as the source of the information by explicitly citing the title of the survey, its creator, AllCounted, and the web link of the survey if it is available.
Your Account
If you have created an account in our website, you are responsible for safeguarding your password. You, and not us, are responsible for any activity occurring in your account, whether or not you authorized that activity. If you become aware of any unauthorized access to your account, you should contact us immediately.
We occasionally send notices to the primary email address you stored with us. Sometimes when providing support to you, we also use it to verify that you are the owner of your primary email address. It is your responsibility to keep it current and accurate. You agree that if you fail to do so, you are responsible for losing our support or access to your account and data.
You agree that we have the right to disable or delete your account for any reason without prior notices. Disabling your account will block your access to your account and the data within the account. Deleting your account will remove your account and any associated data such as surveys and responses from our website.
Use of Our Email Service
We would like to stress the proper use of our email service by users like you. If you use our email service to invite people to take your survey, you are prohibited from sending the same survey (the same list of questions) to the same email address more than twice . If you violate this term, your account will be subject to being disabled, and you may lose your data, including surveys and responses.
Backup of Your Data
You are responsible for maintaining, protecting, and routinely backing up your data. We will not be liable for any failure to store, or for loss or corruption of, your data. In addition to copy and print, you can take advantage of the various export features we provide to back up your data.
Third Party Resources
In our website, we may display the links to the websites maintained by third parties. We do not represent that we have reviewed such third party websites, and we are not responsible for them or any content appearing on them. Trademarks displayed in conjunction with the related services are the property of their respective owners.

Monitoring, Suspension or Termination
You agree that we have the right to monitor user activities in our website. We may limit, suspend, or terminate our services to you if you fail to comply with these Terms of Use.

However, we may decide to take immediate action without any notice to you. We have no obligation to retain your account, surveys, responses, and other data upon termination of our services to you.
You agree that any violation by you of these Terms of Use will constitute an unlawful and unfair business practice, and will cause irreparable harm to us, for which monetary damages would be inadequate, and you consent to us obtaining any injunctive or equitable relief that we deem necessary or appropriate in such circumstances. These remedies are in addition to any other remedies we may have at law or in equity. If we do take any legal action against you as a result of your violation of these Terms of Use, we will be entitled to recover from you, and you agree to pay, all reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of such action, in addition to any other relief granted to us.

We may delete data from a service at any time in our sole discretion, although we may endeavor to notify you before we do that if it materially impacts you and if practical under the circumstances.
Data Loss or Breach
As a survey creator, you are responsible for routinely backing up your data. You may lose your data because we disable or delete your account or survey.
Though we have done our best to keep our website safe, we cannot guarantee anything. There is always a possibility of data loss or breach caused by hardware or software failures or malicious human attack. When this happens, we will assess the severity based on specific situations. We may use a backup copy of our database to recover our system. In this case, we may notify you through the primary email address you stored with us. The recovery may cause loss of your data that was created after the backup was made and may cause the data to appear again that was modified or deleted after the backup was made. In this situation, you will be responsible to review your account and take appropriate actions. We are sorry for any inconvenience that may be caused to you due to our system recovery.
You agree that in case of data loss or breach you will not sue us in any courts for any damages.
