DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
We provide you with an augmented reality application that enables the exchange of content in the public space between you (the "User") and Layar or third party content publishers ("Publishers"), and other applications, features, software, databases and services (together: "Services"), including but not limited to: (a) the provision of augmented reality layers which may contain content, such as text, pictures, graphics, 2D/3D models, videos and links as well as images required for the detection and tracking of features to display content ("Reference Images"), jointly referred to as the "Third Party Content", and (b) your use of application programming interfaces ("API"). We also enable you to add or generate your own content by interacting with other users ("User Generated Content"). When using our Services, it is important that you respect locations, intellectual property rights, privacy and the rights of third parties at all times.
