Tikatok User Agreement
Welcome to Tikatok.com (the “Site”).
The terms and conditions stated below, along with the policies and guidelines located
throughout the Site (collectively herein the “User Agreement”) identify what you, as a
user of the Site ("you" or "user") can expect from Tikatok LLC ("Tikatok"), and/or
person who provide products or services to Tikatok customers either directly or through
the Site (“Tikatok Providers”) and what Tikatok in turn expects from users. By visiting
any area on the Site, creating an account, or creating a story or book (all of the
foregoing are sometimes referred to in this document as the “Tikatok Services”), a
user is deemed to have accepted the User Agreement. If you do not agree to be bound
by this User Agreement and to follow all applicable laws, you should leave the Site
immediately.

I. REGISTRATION AND YOUR ACCOUNT
To create an account on the Site, you must be at least 13 years old and will need to
provide your first and last name, a username, password, date of birth and valid email
address by which we may contact you. Your username and password should not contain
personal information such as your real name.
You have the right to cancel your account at any time. Cancellation of your account will
automatically cancel any account that is associated with your account. For example, the
cancellation of a parent’s or legal guardian’s account will cancel any child’s account
associated with that parent or legal guardian account. When an account is canceled, the
account is removed from the Site along with all associated accounts and books that have
been created as part of those accounts.

II. AGE OF USERS

Individuals under the age of 13 ("Minors") are not allowed to create an account on the
Site. Neither the Site nor Tikatok knowingly collects or solicits personal information
from Minors or knowingly allows Minors to register for an online account or provide
personal information on the Site. Should we learn that a Minor has created an account on
the Site, that Minor’s account and any content they may have created will be removed.
For those users who decide to create an account for their child, please note that Tikatok
will not ask your child to provide any personal information. At the same time, because
the Site will allow your child to create a book, it is possible that your child might
inadvertently disclose personal information (e.g., their name, their address, or their
telephone number) in the content of that book. Although Tikatok may take steps to
monitor the content of books authored by children to identify personal information, and
may take steps to remove any information that is identified, it is possible that Tikatok
may not identify or remove the information that your child inadvertently submits. In
such an event, you agree that consistent with Tikatok’s Privacy Policy, Tikatok may
collect any such information inadvertently submitted by your child.

III. TERMINATION OF USAGE

Tikatok may issue a warning, temporarily suspend, indefinitely suspend or terminate any
user's right to use or access all or any part of the Site including any account thereon,
without notice, for any reason in Tikatok's sole discretion, including without limitation
violation of this User Agreement, Tikatok's belief that such access would violate any
applicable law or would be harmful to the interests of, or potentially cause financial loss
or legal liability to, Tikatok or another user.

In certain cases, in Tikatok’s sole discretion, Tikatok may provide written notice (a
"Restriction Notice") to a user (a "Restricted User") to inform such Restricted User that
(i) his or her right to use or access any part of the Site has been terminated including the
right to use, access or create any account thereon; (ii) that Tikatok refuses to provide any
services to such Restricted User; and (iii) any subsequent orders placed by a Restricted
User will be subject to cancellation. Other conditions may apply and shall be set forth in
the Restriction Notice.

IV. OWNERSHIP OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF

MATERIALS
All materials provided by Tikatok and contained on the Site, including, without
limitation, software, designs, texts, images, photographs, illustrations, audio clips, video

Materials in their entirety, including but not limited to, visual elements such as
advertisements that may adjoin content. Any attempts to access the Tikatok Materials in a
manner that obscures or blocks such adjoining visual elements is a violation of the license
granted hereunder. You may not make any modifications to any Tikatok Materials.
If you download any available software or other materials from the Site, the software or
materials, including any files, codes, images, and audio clips incorporated in or generated
by the software, and data accompanying the software (collectively, the “Software”) are
licensed to you for your personal, non-commercial home use pursuant to a limited,
personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license. Tikatok retains full and
complete title to the Software and all intellectual property rights therein. You may not
redistribute, sell, lend, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise render the
Software to a human-readable form. Any unauthorized or prohibited use may subject you
to civil liability and criminal prosecution under applicable laws.

V. OWNERSHIP OF SUBMISSIONS
Certain areas of the Site will permit you to send materials to Tikatok such as stories and
drawings. Upon submission, all creations, ideas, concepts, notes, drafts, stories, artwork,
drawings, photographs or other information of any nature (collectively, the
“Submissions”), submitted by an author to the Site shall be deemed to be, and shall
remain, the property of Tikatok, and the author will be deemed for all purposes to have
assigned all of his or her worldwide right, title and interest in and to such Submissions to
Tikatok and waived any “moral” or author’s rights therein. None of the Submissions shall
be subject to any obligation of confidence on the part of Tikatok, and Tikatok shall not be
liable for any use or disclosure of all or part of the Submissions. Without limiting the
foregoing, Tikatok shall exclusively own all now known or hereafter existing rights to the

the following form: “Copyright © 2009 by Tikatok LLC. All rights reserved.”

reason, with or without prior notice or explanation, and without liability.

materials you upload to the Site. Tikatok assumes no responsibility for editing books that

claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or

password confidential and secured, (ii) avoiding unauthorized access to such user's

by a user on any information obtained from the Site or that result from mistakes,

author’s rights therein. None of the BAB Submissions shall be subject to any obligation
of confidence on the part of Build-A-Bear or Tikatok, and neither Build-A-Bear nor

laying of venue of any litigation in said courts.

XIII. DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") provides recourse for
copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their
rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by
Tikatok, including Submissions, infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send
Tikatok a notice requesting that the material be removed or access to it blocked. The
notice must include the following information (a) a physical or electronic signature of a
person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly
infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if
multiple copyrighted works located on this website are covered by a single notification, a
representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be
infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to
allow Tikatok to locate the material on the Site; (d) the name, address, telephone number
and e-mail address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the
complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner
complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and (f) a
statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of
perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an
exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. If you believe in good faith that a notice of
copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to
send Tikatok a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current
statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright for
details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to this website should be sent to:
Teresita Rodriguez, Director-Legal Affairs, 76 Ninth Avenue, New York, New York
10011, at DMCANOTICE@Tikatok.com. Tikatok.com suggests that you consult your
legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be
penalties for false claims under the DMCA.

About our Website

1 
Tikatok.com (the “Site”) allows you to create, illustrate, write, and publish your books in
paperback, hardcover or PDF format.
This Privacy Policy describes the information that we collect from you and from any children
that you decide to allow to use our Site. This Privacy Policy also describes how we use that
information, and with whom that information is shared. This Privacy Policy does not apply to
information that is not collected through our website, including any materials that are sent to us
by you, or someone acting on your behalf, in paper form.
This Privacy Policy refers to the terms “you,” “your book,” and “Tikatok.” As it’s important for
you to understand what those terms mean, here are some definitions to keep in mind as you read
this Privacy Policy:
“You” refers to an individual that is over the age of 13 that establishes an account on the Site.
“Your book” refers to a book that you created. If you are a parent or legal guardian and decide
to set up an account for your child, the term “your book” also refers to any books that are
authored by your child.
“Tikatok” refers to Tikatok LLC.
“Minor[s]” refers to a person that is under the age of 13 years old.
“Child’s account” refers to an account that a parent or legal guardian sets up for a child that is a
Minor. A Minor cannot set up their own account, and any child’s account must be associated
with an account created by the parent or legal guardian.

Who May Create an account on the Site?

Any person who is at least 13 years old may register to create an account on the Site. Although
we do not allow Minors to create their own account, if you are a parent or legal guardian and
have created an account with us, you may create an account for your Minor child or Minor
children. The child’s account that you create will be associated with your account. In the event
that you create a child’s account, both your account, and your child’s account, will be governed
by this Privacy Policy and the User Agreement.

What Type of Personally Identifiable Information Does

Tikatok Collect?
Information Collected From You
During the registration process Tikatok collects no more personally identifiable information from
you than is reasonably necessary for you to participate in our online activities. This includes,
among other things, your name, your email address and your date of birth. We ask for your date
of birth to confirm that you are at least 13 years old and eligible to create an account on the Site.
You will also be asked to create a username and a password during the registration process.
When creating a username, do not use any personally identifiable information. For example, you

2 
should not use your initials, telephone number, email address, abbreviation of your name or zip
code.
During the time you place a product order we may collect additional personally identifiable
information from you. For example, we may ask if you want us to include biographical
information about you, or your child, such as your child’s name, in the product that you are
purchasing.
If you decide to share your book with others, or collaborate with others to write a book, Tikatok
may collect personally identifiable information about you or about your child as part of the
process of obtaining your authorization to share your book with others.
Although Tikatok does not request personally identifiable information from you other than
during the registration process, the product-ordering process, or the process of obtaining your
authorization to disclose your book to others, the purpose of the Site is to allow the creation,
illustration, and personalization of books. As a result, you control the information that you
choose to include in the books you create. Although Tikatok warns users not to include
personally identifiable information in the books that they author, it is possible that you may
inadvertently provide Tikatok with personally identifiable information in the content of the book
that you author.

Information Collected From Children

Tikatok does not ask children to provide any personally identifiable information.

If you decide to create a child’s account, however, Tikatok will allow your child to create
personalized books. Although Tikatok warns all children not to include personally identifiable
information in the books that they author, it is possible that they may inadvertently provide
Tikatok with personally identifiable information in the content of the book that they author. By
creating a child’s account, you agree that if your child inadvertently provides personally
identifiable information to Tikatok that Tikatok may collect and maintain that information.

Additional Information That We Collect

We may collect information through technology to make our Site more interesting and useful to
you. For example, we collect IP addresses and use technology to track traffic patterns on the Site.
Once you have logged into the Site, we track your activities by using logs of database
transactions and server interactions. We also use this information to understand which areas of
our Site are most appealing or least appealing. Our Site also uses cookies, which are pieces of
text information that a website sends to your computer while you are viewing the website.
Cookies provide information to the Site so that the Site will remember who you are. These
technical methods may involve the transmission of information either directly to us or to another
party authorized by us to collect information on our behalf. None of the information collected
through these methods is, or is connected to, personally identifiable information about you.

How Does Tikatok Use Your Information?

3 
 Creating and Printing Books
Tikatok allows you or your child to create books on the Site, which includes both text (the
stories) and images (the illustrations). You should not include any personally identifiable
information in your books, either in the words or in the images you supply.
If you or your child decide to create a book, your book will initially be available in “private
display.” Private display means that the book may be visible to only Tikatok, you, any Minor
that you give access to a child’s account, and any additional people, such as teachers or co-
authors, for whom you give us permission to share your book. A book in private display will
contain, by default the author’s username and a blank space for any biographical information that
you may choose to supply in the future. You can provide biographical information, such as your
name or your child’s name, if you decide to “publish” a book. Publishing refers to a purchase of
the book in paperback, hardcover or PDF format. Only you can decide to publish a book that
you create or that your child creates. Children are not allowed to publish books. When
publishing a book you can decide to send that book to other people, such as friends, family, or
teachers.

Featured Books
Tikatok may ask you to include your book in our “Featured Books” section. Books included in
the “Featured Books” section are placed on public display and visible to the entire Site
community as well as any visitor to the Site. Tikatok will not include your book in the “Featured
Books” section without your permission.
Any book included in the “Featured Books” section will identify the title of the book. The
author will be identified by username only. Tikatok attempts to remove any personally
identifiable information that you or your child may have included inadvertently within the
content of the book, but cannot guarantee that all personally identifiable information either can
be identified or has been removed. As a result, if you agree to include your book in the
“Featured Books” section, you recognize and agree that any personally identifiable information
inside the book may be disclosed to third parties, and that you consent to that disclosure.
You have the ability to delete a book at any time. If you choose to delete a book it will be
completely removed from our system, including removed from the “Featured Books” section.

What Information Does Tikatok Share With Others?

Third Party Service Providers
We may engage third parties to assist with services related to the Site, such as technical and
processing services shipping, book printing and website analytics. These third parties are
obligated to keep your information confidential and must use the information only in connection
with providing services to Tikatok.

Making a Purchase or Placing an Order

When you order a book or a gift card, we send only the information necessary to fulfill the order
to Google Checkout and our printing supplier. Tikatok does not collect or store any credit card
information. You should review the Privacy Policy of Google Checkout for more information
about how they use any information that you provide to them.
When you decide to publish a book, we may give you the option of selecting individuals who
you would like to receive a copy of your book. If you indicate that an individual should receive
a copy of your book, we may send a copy of the book, along with any biographical information
that you have chosen to include in it, to that individual.

Co-Authors
In some situations you may want to co-author a book with another person, or allow your Minor
child to co-author a book with another person. If you decide to co-author a book, we may allow
your co-author to view the information that you write in the book. If the co-author is a Minor,
we may also allow the parent, or legal guardian of the co-author to view the information that you
write in the book.

Sales, Mergers and Acquisitions

In the event that all or substantially all of the assets related to Tikatok are transferred or sold to
another entity, all information, including personally identifiable information we have in our
possession, would be transferred to that entity.

Law Enforcement Officials

Tikatok fully cooperates with reasonable requests for information from law enforcement
agencies. As a result, we reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities
that we reasonably believe to be unlawful, or that we reasonably believe may aid a law
enforcement investigation. In addition, we reserve the right to release your information to law
enforcement agencies if we determine, in our sole judgment, that either you have violated our

5 
policies or that the release of your information may protect the rights, property or safety of
Tikatok, you, or one of our other customers.

Responding to Other Requests for Information

Tikatok may share your information with others as required by, or permitted by law. This may
include sharing your personally identifiable information with governmental entities, or third
parties, in response to subpoenas, court orders, other legal process, or as we believe is necessary
to exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims against us, our employees, our
customers, users, or others.

Educator Accounts
Educator accounts can be used to view and print only those books for which the author’s parent
has provided their consent. If the book is a collaborative book, Educator accounts can be used to
view and print only those books for which each and every author’s parent has provided their
consent.

How Do We Secure Your Personal Information?

We take significant and appropriate security measures, including physical, technological and
procedural measures, to help to safeguard your personal information and to prevent unauthorized
access and disclosure. In addition, we use industry-standard technology, such as firewalls and
encryption in the transmission of certain sensitive personal information, designed to prevent
unauthorized persons from gaining access to your personal information, and, as technology
develops, we intend to take additional measures to improve security.

We want you to feel confident whenever you visit our Site. While we are focused on the security
of your personal information and follow strict standards, processes and procedures that are
designed to protect your personal information, we cannot promise, and you should not expect,
that your personal information will remain secure in all circumstances.

Will This Privacy Policy Change?

We reserve the right to modify or amend this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the revised
privacy policy on our Site. Any material changes in how we use or share personally identifiable
information will only affect the information that we collect after the effective date of the change
to our privacy policy unless we clearly express otherwise.
