oneminutepoll.com
1 THE END USER AGREEMENT
1.1 This End User Agreement is a legal
agreement between you as a registered user (‘Registered User’ as defined at
Clause 2.3 or ‘you’) of this oneminutepoll.com web site (‘Web Site’) and
DevElite Limited (‘DevElite’).
1.2 DevElite owns and controls the Web Site
which offers for sale a subscription service (the ‘Service’) to use survey
creation and response capture software (the ‘Software’). The Service allows
the Registered User to create, test and distribute a web based survey
(‘Survey’). The Survey may be distributed by copying the generated HTML code
to the Registered User’s website. The service also captures the responses of
the survey entered by the survey participants, and allows the Registered User
to view such responses in a variety of formats.
1.3 Any goods and services (“Merchandise”)
offered for sale by companies other than DevElite (“Third Party Content
Providers”) via third party web sites linked to this Web Site are subject to
separate terms and conditions between you and the applicable Third Party
Content Provider. You acknowledge that the applicable Third Party Content
Provider (and not DevElite) is solely responsible for the fulfilment of orders
for any Merchandise and for its quality, suitability, and fitness for purpose.
Any disputes or questions relating to the Merchandise must be directed to the
Third Party Content Provider in question and you acknowledge that DevElite
shall have no responsibility, obligations or liability in relation to the
Merchandise.
