Please review the following terms carefully, including this entire web page

If you do not agree to these terms, you should not use this site or any Meet-O-Matic services. The term "Meet-O-Matic" or "us" or "we" or "our" refers to Meet-O-Matic, the owner of the Meet-O-Matic family of web sites and the Meet-O-Matic services. The term "you" refers to the user or viewer of the Meet-O-Matic family of web sites and the Meet-O-Matic services.

Description of Service

Meet-O-Matic is a web-based meeting scheduler. We provide a calendar-based form for "meeting proposers" and their "respondents" to fill in (this is the "respondents page", through which "respondents" indicate their availability), and a special "matrix display" known as a "responses table" that shows attendees vs proposed dates (and optionally AM/PM slots or times and time zones). The meeting proposer uses the "responses table" to select the best "match" of proposed dates/times and attendee availability.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new Meet-O-Matic properties, shall be subject to the TOS. You understand and agree that the Service is provided "AS-IS" and that Meet-O-Matic assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings.

In order to use the Service, you must obtain access to the Internet/World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access Web-based content, and pay any service fees associated with such access. In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the Internet/World Wide Web, including a computer and modem or other access device.

Privacy statement

Meet-O-Matic Inc is the sole owner of the information collected on this site and through facilities described in the Description of Service above (meeting information in private-label versions can optionally be owned by the private-label owner instead). We will not sell, share, rent, or give away such information, above and beyond what is already visible in the public domain through our sites and services, or as may be required to comply with due process of law. In cases where such 'due process of law' is involved, we will assess and deal with the legal implications and advise any affected users of our services accordingly.

Use of email addresses

In order to use this service, a Meet-O-Matic user must first provide their email address. This information is only used by Meet-O-Matic to contact that user about the meetings on this site that they are using, or to notify the user as individual responses are accumulated from participants explictly invited by that user, or to send out registration acknowledgements, or to confirm password changes, or to contact Meet-O-Matic users about service updates and improvements or changes to the Service or to the Terms of Service. The privacy of this information conforms to the wording of the preceding paragraph.

Security

No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Meet-O-Matic cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. We make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. Your Meet-O-Matic account is password protected so that only you can access it and view the member information relevant to the account. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and any account information. Remember to sign out of your Meet-O-Matic account and close your browser window when you have finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information.

Internet tracking

Like most web servers on the Internet, we also log some information sent by your web browser when it requests a web page, including the numerical Internet ('IP') address (typically of an internet service provider or hosting service rather than an individual user's computer), date and time, and the page requested. It is generally impossible for us to identify a user from this information. The logs may be analysed from time to time to study usage and to help us improve the site's organization, performance, and usefulness.

Cookies

A cookie is a piece of information that is stored on your computer's hard drive by your web browser. We do use cookies to make it easier for you to complete forms more quickly when you use the service repeatedly, but these do not identify you or your visit to our site.

The only cookies we use are private session identifiers, which associates the user's visit with data on the server such as 'is the user logged in?' 'is the user a subscriber', etc. This is essential for determining what aspects of Meet-O-Matic to display.

Meet-O-Matic does not use any third-party cookies, nor share any data with other organizations.

An excellent summary of how to control and delete cookies is available from www.aboutcookies.org.
