What is C Space CONNECT?
C Space CONNECT is an ongoing market research community
conducted by C Space that engages members in activities, discussions, and
surveys. The types of projects offered
through the CONNECT Community will vary and the research conducted through the
Community may be used by C Space or may be shared with clients who engage C
Space to conduct market research on their behalf.
In order to participate in the Community, we ask that you read,
understand and agree to the important Terms and Conditions below as these Terms
govern your access to, use of, and participation in the Community. Your use of the Community is also subject to
C Space’s website terms of use, available at https://www.cspace.com/terms-of-use/.
Your Community Account
Please do not share your Community login credentials with
anyone. You received your invitation to
participate in the Community based on specific criteria and the invitation was
meant for you only.
Your participation in the Community is voluntary. If, at any
time, you wish to withdraw from the Community, please contact launch@cspace.com.
C Space may terminate your access to the Community or to your
account without notice to you at C Space’s sole discretion, including if our
market research goals change, if you fail to actively participate in Community
activities, or if you fail to comply with any of these terms.

the relevant consumer population and not for any discriminatory purpose. You

How Your Information is
Used and Shared
Any information you provide may be used in the following ways:
a)
to determine whether you meet the criteria for a Community;
b)
to communicate with you regarding your participation in a
Community;
c)
for market research, including market research conducted by C

In some cases, C Space may share your Community activities or
project results with its clients. In
some cases and for some projects, a sponsoring client may be identified to you,
but in other cases the clients will remain anonymous. In most cases, your Community activities are
shared with clients only in aggregate form and are not combined with your
personal contact information (such as your full name or email address). C space may, however, combine and include in
reports to the clients any of the content you submit to the Community,
including: quotes; photos; videos; community activity participation
information.
When information is shared with clients, we will ensure that the
client’s use of your information is consistent with the purposes set forth in
these terms. If C Space or its clients
would like to use your information or content for any purpose other than those
set forth above, we will ask for your explicit consent before doing so.
We will also ensure that the information you submit to us is
protected and secure. C Space will only
use your information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and its
Privacy Policy, a copy of which is available at https://www.cspace.com/privacy_en-us/.
If
your information is shared with a client whose privacy policy differs from ours
in a material way, we may provide you with that policy and ask that you agree
to it.
By
accepting this Agreement and by submitting your information and participating
in any Community, you explicitly consent to use of your personal information
consistent with the terms of this Agreement and our Privacy Policy.
If you
do not want your personal information collected and/or used in this way, please

would like us to correct or remove it from our records, please contact the
community facilitator at launch@cspace.com.

C Space is not responsible for any charges that may be incurred by you during

risk, and C Space is not responsible for their contents, or how they treat your

applications such as Facebook®. If this
is the case in your Community, C Space will provide you with instructions for
(a) linking your Community Account to your social media account and (b)
terminating the link between your Community Account and your social media
account.
If this option is available and you choose to integrate your
Community account with third party services or social media sites, C Space may
no longer be able to control who sees or who can access the information
associated with or shared through your linked account. Instead, the use of your information and content
you share through social media sites will be governed by the privacy policies
and privacy settings associated with your social media account. Posting of your content and/or information to
any third party site or through any third party service is at your own risk and
outside these Terms.
To the extent your Community uses or links to third party sites,
applications or services, your use of such sites, applications or services may
also be governed by the privacy policies and terms of use of the third party
sites and/or applications. We encourage
you to review any privacy policies and other agreements that may be applicable
to your use of any such third party sites and/or applications.
C Space is not responsible for the use of your information by
these third parties and C Space makes no guarantee that such third party sites
or applications are free from computer viruses or malware. C Space expressly disclaims all liability for
any losses, costs or expenses that you suffer as a result of your use of these
third party sites, services and/or applications.

judgments, penalties or expenses of any kind whatsoever (including reasonable
attorneys' fees except as provided herein), which may be obtained against,
suffered by, or imposed upon C Space, and/or their officers, directors, agents
or affiliates as a result of any claim for its use of any information you
provide through the community that is proprietary, confidential or protected by
the laws of any jurisdiction.
