As a condition of use, and the licenses granted to you herein, you agree to the following:
Deck offers a number of ways to share, or not share, your presentation with others.
Deck Basic (free) or Deck Public Subscriptions. If you have a Deck Basic (free) or Deck Public account, all of the content you create, including all of the information within your presentations, will be available
to anyone who has access to the internet (“Public User Content”). Public presentations can be viewed by other Deck users, will appear in the searchable Deck database, and will be available for others to access,
view, copy, and reuse online. Accordingly, you hereby do and shall grant to each User and to the public a worldwide, non-exclusive, revocable license to access, view, reuse, and publicly perform your Public User
Content. This license ends when you delete the presentation or your account is closed (either by you or by us), except to the extent that the content has been shared with others and they have not deleted it.
Deck Pro, Premium, and Classroom Subscriptions. If you have a Deck Pro, Premium, or Classroom subscription, you can choose to make your content Public User Content or Private User Content. Presentations
designated as Private User Content will not be available to the public. Rather, they will be available to you, and to those Deck users with whom you have chosen to share the content. You may invite one or more
people (a “Viewer”) to view your presentation by sending them a “share” link. You hereby do and shall grant to each Invited Viewer a worldwide, non-exclusive, revocable license to access, view and publicly
perform your Private User Content. This license ends when you delete the presentation or your account is closed (either by you or by us), except to the extent that the content has been shared with others and they
have not deleted it.
Allowing Re-use. All Decks are are designated as public and re-usable by default. You may choose to make public content not reusable. Users with paid accounts, including students enrolled in a Deck Classroom
account for which their teacher, school, or district may have paid on their behalf, may designate decks as private or restricted. When you allow re-use of your Public User Content, you hereby do and shall grant
to each user of the Service a worldwide, non-exclusive, revocable license to use, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, distribute and
transmit your content. This license ends when you delete the presentation or your account is closed (either by you or by us), except to the extent that the content has been shared with others and they have not
deleted it.
In order to provide the Service to you in accordance with these terms, we need certain licenses from you in order for us to, e.g., host, store and display the content. For example, we need the right to publicly
display/perform the work to allow us to display it on the computer monitor of any party who is not the copyright holder. We need the right to reproduce the content so that it can be saved to our servers. We need
to create derivative works and modify the content, for example, when transcoding an uploaded image into a format that will work most efficiently with the Service.
With respect to Private User Content, you hereby do and shall grant to Deck (and its successors, assigns, and third party service providers) a worldwide, non-exclusive, revocable, royalty-free, fully paid,
sublicensable, and transferable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, distribute and transmit the content SOLELY FOR
THE PURPOSE of providing you, and those with whom you have shared your presentations, with the Service. This license ends when you delete your Private User Content or your account is closed (either by you or by
us), except (i) to the extent that your Private User Content has been shared with others and they have not deleted it and (ii) that we retain a license to maintain a back-up copy of your Private User Content
indefinitely
With respect to Public User Content, you hereby do and shall grant to Deck (and its successors, assigns, and third party service providers) a worldwide, non-exclusive, revocable, royalty-free,
fully paid, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, distribute and transmit the content
(1) for the purpose of providing you, and those with whom you have shared your presentations (including the public), with the Service; and (2) in connection with promotion and marketing of Deck products and
services, including without limitation allowing third parties to search or index the content, in connection with email promotions, product demonstrations, and the like. This license ends when you delete your
Public User Content or your account is closed (either by you or by us), except (i) to the extent that your Public User Content has been shared with others and they have not deleted it and (ii) that we retain a
license to maintain a back-up copy of your Public User Content indefinitely.
Regardless of whether you designate content public or private, Deck makes no claim of ownership to your User Content, and obtains
no rights to your content other than as provided for herein.
Deck makes it easy for users with qualified accounts to change a presentation’s public/private, and disallow reuse status at any time.
However, uses made of your presentation or the underlying User Content,
whether by Deck or its users, are subject to the licenses that were in place at the time such use was originally made by the person or entity who originally made the use. For example, licensed uses of Public User
Content, or content that allows reuse, may continue to be made after such content is designated Private User Content, by those users who previously used the content under the prior license.
Deck gives you the option, when creating or editing a presentation, to search for and insert third party content, such as images, into your presentation. Such third party content is subject to certain license terms. For example, if you use an image that is licensed pursuant to a Creative Commons license that prohibits commercial use, you may not use the image for commercial purposes. Some license terms may limit the manner in which you are permitted to share content with others, or to allow re-use of a presentation. You agree to review and comply with the license terms applicable to any third party content in a presentation.
You agree to pay the then-current fee for the account type (e.g., Public, Premium, Pro, or the like) you have selected. The current fee for the account type you have selected will automatically and immediately be charged to your payment instrument or account on the date your free trial expires. Fees charged for one account type may not be credited towards other account types. All currency references are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
To protect against potential fraud, Deck may take steps to verify the validity of the credit card information you provide to us. The verification process may include debiting an amount between $0.01 and $0.99 from your credit card account and then immediately crediting the same amount back to your credit card, as well as asking you to verify the amount debited in order to confirm that you are in possession of your credit card. Deck will only use this process to screen for fraud and will not otherwise debit your credit card account except as part of a transaction conducted through your account for the Service. By providing Deck with your credit card information, you authorize Deck to debit and credit your credit card account for an amount less than one dollar for such verification purposes.
Payment for subscriptions is non-refundable. If you cancel your recurring payment option, your account will remain active until its next renewal date. If you delete your account before the end of the term for which you paid, your cancellation will take effect immediately. In either case (cancellation or deletion), you will not be given a refund.
If your credit card is invalid for any reason, your Deck Pro (paid) account will revert to a Deck Basic (free) account and will be subject to the limitations of a free Deck Basic account; provided, however, that Deck reserves the right to cancel your account entirely in such case. You will have the option of deleting any User Content from your account prior to its reversion to a Deck Basic account. Deck further reserves the right to cancel, or revert to a Deck Basic account status, the account of any user who attempts to fraudulently obtain Deck educational pricing.
