In order to use the interactive features on this Site, you must first register with us through our on-line registration process on this Site. Regardless of how you decide to use this Site, your conduct on this Site is governed by this Agreement.

  • App Process

    To get started making your own app, all you have to do is register with the Site and the follow the step by step instructions on the App Developer Service. You provide the Contributions (as defined below), and our App Developer Service turns your Contributions into an app.

    We will charge you a Development and Submission Fee as described in Section 7.1.

    After you create your app, we will review the app for submission to Google, Inc.'s Android Market (the "Android Market").

    After you create your app, we will also review it to determine whether it is suitable for submission to Apple, Inc.'s ("Apple") iPhone app store (the "Apple App Store"). PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL SUBMIT YOUR APP TO APPLE.

    WE RESERVE THE RIGHT NOT TO SUBMIT YOUR APP TO THE APPLE OR GOOGLE IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.

    This Development and Submission Fee entitles you to: (a) create one app using the App Developer Service; (b) assistance from us in adding up to 25 RSS feeds to your app; (c) assistance from us in uploading metadata and up to 25 categories for your app in accordance with the Android Market guidelines, or Apple App Store guidelines; (c) our qualitative review of your app for submission in our sole and absolute discretion to Apple; (d) potential submission in our sole and absolute discretion of your app to Apple; (e) submission of your app to the Android Market; and (f) assistance from us in removing your app from either the Apple App Store or the Android Market (as applicable). PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS IN OUR SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION WHETHER WE SUBMIT YOUR APP TO THE APPLE APP STORE, AND THAT WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT: (1) IF YOUR APP IS SUBMITTED TO THE APPLE APP STORE, THAT THE APPLE APP STORE WILL PUBLISH YOUR APP ON THE APPLE APP STORE; OR (2) THAT YOUR APP WILL NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE APPLE APP STORE OR ANDROID MARKET AFTER IT IS PUBLISHED.

    There are two options for monetizing your apps. Either we can place advertising on your app in which case we will not charge you a Marketing Fee. Or, you may elect to place your own advertising code in the app in which case, we will charge you a Marketing Fee as is described in Section 7.3 below.

    If you elect not to place any advertising on your app, we will charge you a Service Fee as is described in more detail in Section 7.4 below.

    If you wish to include an end user license agreement for your app, please submit it to us at: info[at]genwi[dot]com. We will place your agreement in the app so that your app users are required to click to accept your end user license agreement prior to installing the app on their device.
