This ATTIC Terms of Service ("TOS") governs your use of ATTIC websites, including but not limited to attic.city and all associated subdomains, applications, products and services (the "Services"). By using and accessing the Services, you agree to be bound by and comply with this TOS.

Description of Services

ATTIC is a visual search engine. Content is based on regular indexing of publicly-available third party websites, applications and data services, as well as content provided directly by third parties (e.g., merchants). The search service is limited to specific types of consumer products (e.g., furniture) and specific geographic regions (e.g. Washington DC). ATTIC helps users discover products and merchants through a unique and novel visual search interface, and helps facilitate business-to-consumer relationships by directing users to merchant websites, marketplaces, and physical retail sites.

Information found on ATTIC websites and applications, including but not limited to product information (e.g., origin, age or manufacturer), reflects information indexed from third-party sources. ATTIC does not guarantee the accuracy, authenticity or in any warranty such information. Information indexed by ATTIC reflects the data as it was displayed at the time ATTIC crawled and indexed the information. Content and data displayed on ATTIC is based on a "snapshot" and therefore a historical capture. ATTIC is not responsible for changes to third-party content after initial indexing (e.g, a temporary or permanent change in a product's price).

ATTIC, at our discretion, reserves the right to edit content indexed from third party sources for the purposes of improving accuracy, clarifying information and facilitating or improving search results. ATTIC also reserves the right to delete any indexed content for reasons including but not limited to copyright infringement or subjective editorial choices about the quality or appropriateness of content. We have the right, but not the obligation, in our sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse, or remove any content.

With the exception of our merchant services, advertising services, consumer gift cards and select other ATTIC-branded services, ATTIC does participate directly in the sale of products or services. All sales transactions including ones facilitated directly or indirectly by ATTIC services are the sole responsibility of the buying and selling agents. ATTIC neither guarantees the authenticity of products found, advertised, bought or sold, nor does it in any way warranty the products and/or services bought or sold as a result of discovering them on our websites and applications or by use of our services.

Your Content in our Services

Our Service includes information, data, text, photographs, graphics, video, messages, tags, or other materials ("Content") from a variety of third parties. Such content is the sole responsibility of the person or entity that owns it. ATTIC does not claim ownership of such Content.

Some content that appears on ATTIC websites and applications is generated from an automated process using crawling and indexing techniques. The content comes from a variety of third-party sources including publicly available websites, applications and data services. ATTIC provides original source attributions and hyperlinks back to the original source location for products and services displayed whenever possible.

If you are concerned about the appearance of content that you own, or content for which you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner, and would like to prevent ATTIC from indexing it, first identify the source that ATTIC is indexing. Sources can include merchant websites and online marketplaces (e.g., your website, ebay.com, etsy.com). To prevent ATTIC from crawling, indexing and displaying your content in search results, consider these options:

• ATTIC recognizes the robots.txt protocol and respects the rules websites, applications and data services specify in their robots.txt files. Specifically, ATTIC follows the rules applied to the "Googlebot" crawler, which is used by Google to create their web search engine. You can block "Googlebot" from indexing parts of or your entire website using a properly configured robots.txt file. Alternatively, you can block all search crawlers and indexing services using a robots.txt file. See robotstxt.org for more information.
• Remove your content from the identified source.

Note that taking any of the the actions above may prevent search engines from crawling and indexing your content for display in their search results. You should only take these steps if you do not want your content, including your website and its content, to be discovered by the public through search engines. ATTIC is not responsible for changes to your search engine placement, rank or otherwise for taking these or similar actions. If you're unclear on the technical requirements or potential impact of taking any of these actions, we recommend contacting a professional web developer and/or search engine marketing specialist.

If you are unable to identify the source of your content on ATTIC or have followed the steps above without success, you may contact us at [email protected] for assistance. Please provide specific URLs and/or details about where your content is appearing on our websites or applications.

The steps above will help to prevent ATTIC from crawling, indexing and displaying future content that you own. It will not retroactively remove content that already exists in our index. You can request to have all content for which you hold copyright permanently removed by sending a removal request to [email protected]. Please use the subject line "Remove Request" and provide information to help us substantiate that you hold copyright for the content in question (e.g., provide your name, title and affiliation).

Some of our Services allow you to upload, submit, store, send or receive content. You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you hold in that content.

When you upload, submit, store, send or receive content to or through our Services, you give ATTIC a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content. The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our Services, and to develop new ones. This license continues even if you stop using our Services. Some Services may offer you ways to access and remove content that has been provided to that Service. Also, in some of our Services, there are terms or settings that narrow the scope of our use of the content submitted in those Services. Make sure you have the necessary rights to grant us this license for any content that you submit to our Services.

Our automated systems may analyze your content to provide you personally relevant product features, such as customized search results and tailored advertising. This analysis occurs as the content is sent, received, and when it is stored.

Copyright Protection

Using our Services does not give you ownership of any intellectual property rights in our Services or the content you access. You may not use content from our Services unless you obtain permission from its owner or are otherwise permitted by law. These terms do not grant you the right to use any branding or logos used in our Services. Don't remove, obscure, or alter any legal notices displayed in or along with our Services.

Our Services display some content that is not ATTIC's. This content is the sole responsibility of the entity that makes it available. We may review content to determine whether it is illegal or violates our policies, and we may remove or refuse to display content that we reasonably believe violates our policies or the law.

It is ATTIC's policy to comply with notices of copyright infringement pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you've come across content on ATTIC that may violate the law or violate your copyright, let us know, and we'll carefully and promptly review the material and consider blocking, removing or restricting access to it.

ATTIC may, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who may be repeat infringers. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or your intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, please inform us by following our Copyright Infringement Notification Requirements below.
