Terms of Use

The Spigot Extension Terms of Use applies to the YTD Extension ("Extension"), which is built and maintained by Spigot, Inc. ("We"). The Extension allows you a convenient way to help find search results online by collecting your requests for information and processing them through our search engine partners. Our partners may compensate us for making this information available to you. Use of the Extension is free of charge to you. Use of the Extension and its features as described below requires that you agree to the following Terms of Use. You agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Use by clicking the "Next", "Run", "Install" or "Yes" button provided.

1.1 Rights You Grant to Spigot.
By installing the Extension on your computer, you expressly authorize and request Spigot to:
a) act as your search agent to conduct inquiries on your behalf using Spigot's search engine and technologies and partners' sites, and collect relevant information and display it to you;
b) take actions Spigot deems appropriate to provide the Extension to you and to act on your behalf in obtaining information from partners and displaying that to you;
c) read and interpret your search requests and results on certain sites and use this information to conduct searches on your behalf, offer alternative results and to personalize The Extension for you;
d) collect information in accordance with our privacy policy;
e) start the Extension automatically when you start your computer, and to appear as a extension in your Microsoft Internet Explorer and/or Mozilla Firefox browser. You may change how the Extension starts and appears using the respective application options;
f) modify your Microsoft Internet Explorer and/or Mozilla Firefox browser settings for the default search engine, address bar search, "DNS error" page, "404 error" page, and new tab page to facilitate more informative responses as determined by The Extension;
g) communicate with Spigot servers from time to time to check for available software updates such as bug fixes, patches, enhanced functions and new versions (collectively, "Updates"). By installing The Extension, you agree to automatically request and receive Updates. When there is a material change to the reference notices or the extension software, we will notify you through a pop-up in your web browser. At that point you will be given the chance to accept the new changes and update the extension or decline the new changes and do not update the extension. Uninstall instructions are also presented at this point.
h) install Preferences Manager which manages the extension features. This feature is uninstalled together with the extension.
1.2 Limitations on Your Use.

b) No Scraping or Derivative Uses. Without limitation, you will not provide or make available any such information to others and you will not scrape, compile, combine or organize (or take any action similar to the foregoing, automatically or manually, with respect to) any such information.
