3. OUR SERVICE

With one touch (you click the Bully-Cam app icon on your phone) a three second count down begins and then Bully-Cam starts recording and (provided you have 3G) immediately sends a link via email and text message to each of your (up to) five selected “Alert Recipients” (five contacts you set up when you create an account as detailed at clause 4 below). Each Alert Recipient is able to live stream what is happening where you are or if they do not immediately click on the link, they can do so at a later date and can access the recorded video and view the whole “Incident Report” showing the date, time, sender, status, video and location (using what3words technology for accurate location recording) of the incident and will have the option to call you at the click of a button, call 999 and/or forward the “Incident Report” to 999/others and download it. The Incident Report is stored on the cloud and cannot be deleted by you or anyone else who has access to your phone. The Incident Report remains on the cloud even if the Bully-Cam app is deleted and/or your phone is lost or destroyed.

The Service we provide to you may change from time to time.

4. SETTING UP AN ACCOUNT

Once you have downloaded the Bully-Cam app you must set up an account with an email address and password. To do so you must provide your first and last names, email address and the phone number of your device.

You acknowledge that you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to your mobile phone to prevent unauthorised access to your account. You agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password. You should take all necessary steps to ensure that the password is kept confidential and secure and should inform us immediately if you have any reason to believe that your password has become known to anyone else, or if the password is being, or is likely to be, used in an unauthorised manner. You must not allow any third party to access your account.

Using the Bully-Cam App

Once you are set up with an account every time you click on the Bully-Cam app icon on your device the app will open and a three second count down will begin. If you press the stop button before the countdown has finished, the app will not begin recoding and you can access your settings on Bully-Cam. If you do not press stop then the app will begin recording, your Alert Recipients will be notified and an Incident Report will automatically be created.

Within settings you can view your sent Incident Reports, unsent Incident Reports, Family & Friends (Alert Recipients), you can edit your alert message, set up an override call number (as described below), you can update your profile (name, email and device telephone number that you used to set up your account), change your password and contact us.

Adding Alert Recipients and creating Incident Reports

Once your account is set up you may add up to five “Alert Recipients” under the “Family & Friends” tab found in settings within the Bully-Cam app. You must add their name, telephone number and email address. You are responsible for ensuring you have permission from each Alert Recipient to add their personal information to your profile and their consent to add them as an Alert Recipient in your Bully- Cam app.

Each Alert Recipient will receive a text message and an email informing them that you have invited them to be an Alert Recipient. Each Alert Recipient can then click on the link provided to accept or decline the invitation and will themselves accept these terms and conditions and our Privacy Policy. If an Alert Recipient accepts the invitation, every time you use your Bully-Cam app and create an Incident Report (as described below), each Alert Recipient will receive a text message and an email informing them that you have started an Incident Report and will share a link with them to enable them to view the Incident Report. If they click on the link while you are recording they will be able to watch you live stream, see your location (using what3words technology for accurate location recording) and will have the option to call you (at the click of a button), call 999 and/or forward the “Incident Report” to 999 or others and download it. Once created an Incident Report can be accessed at any time and shows the date, time, sender, status, video and location. The Incident Report is stored on the cloud and cannot be deleted by you or anyone else who has access to your phone. The Incident Report remains on the cloud even if the Bully-Cam app is deleted and/or your phone is lost or destroyed.

Downloading an Incident Report

You may download an Incident Report from Bully-Cam by clicking the download button on the Incident Report within Settings. You may also forward it to various third parties (999, Others – this allows you to

send it via email, Crimestoppers) via the Bully-Cam app and once you have downloaded it you can forward it to whoever you wish.

You are responsible for how Incident Reports are copied, shared, managed and published by you, your Alert Recipients and any third party to whom you allow access to your Bully-Cam Account. Bully-Cam accepts no responsibility for the Incident Report once it has been forwarded to any third party and/or downloaded to your device.

Deleting an Incident Report

You may request deletion of an Incident Report. If you wish to do so, please contact us in writing by emailing contact@righttoresist.org with ‘Delete Incident Report’ in the email subject box and we shall aim to delete this within five (5) working days. Please note if you do not put ‘Delete Incident Report’ in the subject heading we may miss your email and may not be able to action your request.

Please note that once an Incident Report has been downloaded, we have no control over it and cannot delete it from your device or the device of any third party with whom you have shared it. Therefore, please think carefully before sharing an Incident Report with a third party who is not one of your Alert Recipients.

Removing an Alert Recipient

If at any time you wish to remove an Alert Recipient you may do so via your account, simply click ‘delete’. Similarly if an Alert Recipient informs you that they no longer consent to their role as Alert Recipient please delete them from your account as soon as you can and within ten (10) working days.

Setting up an override call number

Bully-Cam is not designed to replace calling 999 (or the equivalent emergency service number if you are not in the UK or Northern Ireland – please see clause 13 re using the Bully-Cam app outside of the UK and Northern Ireland). You must always call 999 if you are in an emergency.

You are able to set up an override call number within Bully-Cam app. Using call override will shut down the Bully-Cam app and end all functionality. The override call button can be used to contact the emergency services (if you set up 999 as your override call number, although there is already a call 999 button within the Incident Report page) or your preferred contact at a single touch if you consider it necessary.

Unsent Incident Reports

If you use your Bully-Cam app in an area where you do not have an internet connection or any signal (i.e. 3G/4G or a Wi-Fi connection), an Incident Report is still created but the app is unable to send the Incident Report to your Alert Recipient(s). The Incident Report is therefore stored in the Unsent Incident Reports folder in your settings and you can send this to your Alert Recipients at a later date or simply keep the Incident Report for your own use, download it and/or share it with third parties if necessary.

5. Uploading content to the Bully-Cam app

You retain all ownership rights in any content you upload to the Bully-Cam app, but you grant us a non- exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty free, sub-licensable licence to use, store and copy that content and to distribute and make it available to third parties as necessary.

We also have the right to disclose your identity to any third party who is claiming that any content posted or uploaded by you to our application constitutes a violation of their intellectual property rights, or of their right to privacy and if so required by a law enforcement body or in connection with legal proceedings.

We will not be responsible, or liable to any third party, for the content or accuracy of any content posted by you or any other user of the Bully-Cam app. We have the right to remove any posting you make on our Bully-Cam app.

You acknowledge and agree that in line with the purpose of Bully-Cam app (to enable users to obtain

evidence in situations where they feel threatened that cannot be deleted) (the “Purpose”) you cannot

delete the Incident Reports you create and that are stored within your account. Therefore, if you wish to

have content deleted from your account please contact us and we shall delete such Incident Reports on

your behalf (provided we are legally able to do so and such content is not required by a law

enforcement body or in legal proceedings). Once the content is deleted, you acknowledge and agree

that such removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time but will not be

available to any third party unless requested by a law enforcement body or legal summons.

For the avoidance of doubt, any misuse by you of the Bully-Cam app where you are not recording a

video in line with the Purpose may lead to immediate suspension or deletion of your account at our sole

discretion and the Incident Report you create may be used as evidence by us of your misuse.

Protecting other peoples’ rights

We respect other peoples’ rights and expect you to do the same.
