You can also register to join by logging into your account with certain third-party social networking sites (“SNS”) (including, but not limited to, Facebook; each such account, a “Third-Party Account”), via our Site, as described below.

By granting Crew HQ access to any Third-Party Accounts, you understand that Crew HQ will access, make available and store (if applicable) any Content that you have provided to and stored in your Third-Party Account (“SNS Content”) so that it is available on and through the Site via your Crew HQ Account and Crew HQ Account profile page. Unless otherwise specified in these Terms, all SNS Content, if any, will be considered to be Member Content for all purposes of these Terms. Depending on the Third-Party Accounts you choose and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such Third-Party Accounts, personally identifiable information that you post to your Third-Party Accounts will be available on and through your Crew HQ Account on the Site. Please note that if a Third-Party Account or associated service becomes unavailable or Crew HQ’s access to such Third-Party Account is terminated by the third-party service provider, then SNS Content will no longer be available on and through the Site. You have the ability to disable the connection between your Crew HQ Account and your Third-Party Accounts, at any time, by accessing the “Edit Profile” section of the Site. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNTS IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS. Crew HQ makes no effort to review any SNS Content for any purpose, including but not limited to for accuracy, legality or non-infringement and Crew HQ is not responsible for any SNS Content.
