In the event that the contract concerns the live buzz tool named TweetWall Pro system, TEZAKI hereby grants to the customer the ordinary non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use of the contractual TweetWall Pro System in order to show, in real time, on a wall or on a screen, some messages or Tweets, sent on social media networks such as Twitter, containing keywords (or related to some criteria) defined by the event organizer. 
Police, style and form are limited to what is described in the service information sheet. 
A moderation system is available, if ordered and paid by the customer, in order to filters and withdraw irrelevant or offensive Tweets.

TEZAKI undertakes to use its best endeavors and all reasonable care to perform its obligations in conformity with the terms and requirements agreed by the parties in their written contract. 

TEZAKI is allowed to interrupt access to the TweetWall Pro system and suspend any features of the services, permanently or temporarily, without prior notice, to certain guests or users, at any time and without owing any damage compensation or penalty to the customer. Such interruption may be decided for reasons such as inappropriate, offensive, illegal, racist, sexist, obscene, pornographic, defamatory, libelous, slanderous, false, insulting or abusive messages and Tweets. TEZAKI may also retain the right to create limits on use and storage at its sole discretion at any time without prior notice to the Customer.

TEZAKI agrees to perform the services only for professionals or for consumers being at least 18 years old.

Each license right is limited to only one work station that directly or indirectly accesses or uses the services.

The Internet connection, computers, beamer, wall or screen, moderation services, electric cables, electricity and any item or services not listed in the contract are not included in the price.

TEZAKI reserves the right to make changes in specifications of the services without prior notice or agreement as long as such changes do not affect the performance of the services.

The customer agrees that any change required by him and departing from the initial contract may extend the delivery term and increase the price.

In the event that the customer refuses or delays accepting or receiving the services, it shall make the payment(s) in accordance with the terms and conditions initially agreed by the parties, and reimburse to TEZAKI all costs caused by the refusal or delay caused by the customer.

Nevertheless in case that an event during which the TweetWall Pro System was meant to be used, is canceled before it starts, the customer is allowed to postpone the performance of the relevant contract to another date within maximum 12 months from the date of cancellation, without owing to TEZAKI any damage, penalty or additional price.

TEZAKI has the right to suspend its own obligation to deliver the services or to make them available, in the event there is any evidence of insolvency or nonpayment problem of the customer.

4. CONFORMITY

TEZAKI does not represent or warrant that use of the services will be uninterrupted, timely secure or free from error, from transmission alteration or failure, from bugs or loss of data or will not suffer of data failure. Nevertheless, TEZAKI undertakes to use its best endeavors and all reasonable care to find solutions for such failures. 

5. PRICES AND PAYMENT TERMS

TEZAKI does not endorse any opinions expressed via the Services.

7. FORCE MAJEURE
