It is a multifactor authenticator with Facial Biometrics, FastPass and ont time passcode. Whether and in which circumstance you can use the Product and related functions depends on the management decision of the company which you work for (“your company”). Your rejection to use the Product and/or related functions may cause inconvenience and is subject to your consultation with the management of your company.
2.2 You may download or otherwise obtain the Product at any of the third-party app stores licensed by Megvii. If you get the Product other than from a third party licensed by Megvii, Megvii makes no warranty as to normal operation of any unauthorized version of the Product and denies any liability for your losses caused thereby.
2.3 As Megvii may develop different versions of the Product for different terminal devices, you should obtain, download and install the appropriate version according to the actual conditions of your device. If you no longer use the Product, you can uninstall the installed version yourself.
2.4 To improve users’ experience and services in a better way, Megvii will provide updates or changes of the Product from time to time (including but not limited to modifications, upgrades, function enhancements and software replacements), and you can choose whether to update your version according to your needs.
2.5 Megvii will grant you a revocable, non-assignable and non-exclusive license to use the Product legally. All the rights which are not expressly granted hereby shall be reserved by Megvii. Your exercise of such rights shall be subject to Megvii’s prior written consent. Megvii’s failure to exercise such rights shall not constitute a waiver of the same.
III. About Account
3.1 If you need to use the Product to meet the management decision of your company, after downloading the Product from a licensed third-party app store, you shall log in to the Product with your company account and verify your employee identity by entering your username and intranet password. After that verification, you need to do the face secondary verification with the Product. You will log in to the App after the likelihood of two faces is checked by comparing your selfie image to the face image on record of your company, when your company account will be bound automatically on the Product.
3.2 Account cancellation: If you intend to cancel your account, you may contact your company for that purpose, provided that you shall be still responsible and liable for your use of the Product before your account is canceled.
3.3 When no face image has been submitted by you to your company, at the time of initial login, after you click SSO login, the facial biometrics registration page may pop up, in which case you can only use the Product to bind your company account and log in with your face after you complete the facial biometrics registration process.
3.4 If you need to view your login history, you need to open the App and click Authentication Log to view that, including login time, platform, client and verification results.
3.5 Each account only allows the login to one device, and it is only valid on the latest device. If you log in to the App on a new device, other logged-in devices will no longer be displayed as logged-in.
3.6 By clicking "Exit" in the App, you may log out on your mobile phone.
3.7 Please note that in the course of using the Product, Megvii will only provide technical services, and your personal data, including but not limited to the face image submitted when you perform facial biometrics registration and the logs of your login behavior, will be encrypted and stored in the privatized server of your company.
3.8 Your account is for your own use only, and others may not be permitted to use it in any way without the written consent of your company. If you find that or have reasonable reason to claim that your account is used by others, to ensure the security of your account, you may not be able to log in with your face, and Megvii shall have the right to warn your company about that matter.
3.9 It is your responsibility for maintaining the security and confidentiality of passwords, QR codes and other data. All damages and consequences from any loss, leakage or invalidation of the above passwords, QR codes and other data as a result of improper security measures or other actions of you shall be borne by yourself.
3.10 If you find that others have used or stolen your account and password or your account and password are otherwise used without your consent, you shall immediately notify your company or Megvii in an effective manner. After receiving an effective request from you and verifying your identity, Megvii will take corresponding measures according to the situation. If the information provided by you is incomplete and it results in that Megvii fails to verify your identity or judge your request and thus Megvii fails to deal with the situation in a timely manner, all losses caused to you due to this shall be borne by yourself. Besides, as it requires a reasonable period of time for Megvii to take measures for your request, the losses caused to you due to others’ behaviors before Megvii takes measures according to the effective notification from you shall have nothing to do with Megvii.

Megvii will work with you to protect your personal data, and the protection of users’ personal data is one of the basic principles of Megvii. As long as you are using the Product, you may be required to provide your personal data (including contact information, facial biometric data and device information) in order to provide you and your company with better services and technical support.
