  1. WILL SUPPLIER CHANGE THE SERVICES?

Supplier continually works to improve the Services. Supplier may introduce new features and functionality that enhance the Services and were not previously part of the Services (“New Features”).

Supplier reserves the right to add or not add New Features or the right to make or not make Updates. If New Features involve fees, Supplier will provide you with a choice about whether to use the New Features. If Supplier makes Updates, you agree and authorize Supplier to implement Updates with or without notice to you.

Nothing in this Section 4 limits Supplier’s right to restrict access to certain parts of the Services or discontinue the Services or any content that we provide through the Services at any time, without notice or liability to you. We do our best to make sure that the Services are fully operational at all times, but Supplier is not liable to you if for any reason the Services are unavailable.

If you do not agree to the Terms as modified, then you must cancel your account and stop using the Services before the end of the notice period. Continued use of the Services after the end of the notice period specified in the notification is deemed acceptance of the Terms as modified.

We will not make changes that materially and retroactively reduce your legal rights without notice unless we are legally required to do so or to protect the rights of other users of the Services.

  1. WHAT ARE PERMITTED USES OF THE SERVICES?

10. DO ANY TERMS APPLY SPECIFICALLY TO USING THE APPS?

Except as expressly stated in this Section 10, these Terms apply to your download and use of our Apps.

Unlike a website, a mobile application is software that is downloaded to and installed on your mobile device. Even though it is downloaded to your mobile device, the Apps are licensed – it is not sold to you. You do not acquire any ownership interest in the Apps or any other right other than to use the Apps in accordance with and subject to these Terms.

You may download a single copy of an App to a mobile device owned or otherwise controlled by you solely for your own personal, non-commercial use. To provide you with certain functionalities, certain of the Apps must access various functions and data on your mobile device. For more information about how personal information is handled by the Apps, please review the Privacy Policy.

The Apps and the rest of the Services may not have the exact same content.

We may from time to time develop and provide Updates (as defined in Section 4) to an App. Based on your mobile device settings, when your mobile device is connected to the Internet either the App will automatically download and install all available Updates or you may receive notice of or be prompted to download and install available Updates. You agree to download and install all Updates and acknowledge and agree that an App may not properly operate if you do not. All Updates to an App are deemed part of the App and the Services and subject to these Terms.

Supplier reserves and retains the entire right, title and interest in and to the Apps, including all Supplier Marks (defined in Section 8) and, as between Supplier and you, all other copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights therein or relating thereto, except as expressly granted to you in these Terms.

When you download any of the Apps from Apple's App Store or Google Play (each, an App Platform), you acknowledge and agree that:

·       As between Supplier and the App Platform, Supplier is solely responsible for the Apps.

·       The App Platform has no obligation to provide any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.

·       If our App fails to conform to any applicable warranty: (i) you may notify the App Platform and the App Platform may refund the purchase price for an App (if applicable), (ii) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App Platform will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Apps, and (iii) other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty is, as between Supplier and the App Platform, Supplier’s responsibility.

·       The App Platform is not responsible for addressing any claim you have relating to the Apps or your possession and use of the Apps.

·       If a third party claims that an App infringes another party's intellectual property rights, as between the App Platform and Supplier, Supplier is responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.

·       The App Platform and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of the applicable terms of use as they relate to your license to use an App. Upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of our terms of use, the App Platform will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce the terms of use as related to your license of an App against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

·       You must also comply with all third-party terms applicable through the App Platform when using an App.

To learn more about the specific data collected by any of the Apps, please check your mobile device settings or review the disclosures on the App Platform from which you downloaded the App. To stop the collection of all data through an App, please uninstall it.

 

11. WHEN DO THESE TERMS TAKE EFFECT?  WHEN DO THEY TERMINATE?

These Terms are effective when you acknowledge them as part of creating an account, downloading an App or using any of the Services in which these Terms are linked (subject to the exception noted in Section 2).  These Terms are in effect until terminated by you or Supplier.

You may stop using the Services at any time and for any reason. If you want to delete your account, please contact Supplier using the contact information provided in Section 14 and/or uninstall any or all of the Apps.

Supplier may terminate your account immediately and automatically without any notice if you violate any law applicable to use of the Services. Supplier reserves the right to terminate an account and access to the Services with or without notice if Supplier has a reasonable basis to believe that a user is accessing or using the Services in violation of these Terms.

Supplier may suspend your access to the Services, cancel your account or terminate these Terms at any time without notice if we detect or suspect a breach of security or if Supplier ceases to offer or support any of the Services, which Supplier may do in its sole discretion.

We will try to provide advance notice to you prior to our terminating your access to the Services so that you are able to retrieve any important user Information (to the extent allowed by law and these Terms), but we may not do so if we determine it would be impractical, illegal, not in the interest of someone’s safety or security or otherwise harmful to the rights or property of Supplier.

When these Terms terminate, the rights granted by Supplier terminate and you must cease all use of the Services and delete all copies of the Apps from your mobile device.

Any provision of these Terms that, by its nature, should survive termination of these Terms shall survive termination. By way of example, all of the following provisions will survive termination: any limitation on our liability, terms regarding ownership or intellectual property rights, any obligation you have to pay us, and terms regarding disputes between us. Termination does not and will not limit any of Supplier’s or your rights and remedies at law or in equity.

13. HOW WILL SUPPLIER COMMUNICATE WITH CONSUMERS?

When you use the Services or send emails to us, you are communicating with us electronically.  Depending on your choices and account settings, we will communicate with you electronically in a variety of ways, such as by email, text message or App push notification, or by posting a message in the App or otherwise through the Services. Some of these communications are automatic and some are sent by default as part of the Services. We may add or remove certain types of communications from time to time. You can adjust whether you receive certain electronic communications in your account settings. Although you can disable certain communications, we may still send you notices as needed to allow us to provide certain parts of the Services to you, such as to notify you about a security incident.

You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we electronically provide to you satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing unless mandatory applicable laws specifically require a different form of communication. Certain electronic communications may be subject to fees or charges from your carrier or service provider.

If your email address or other contact information changes, you are responsible for informing Supplier. Changes to your email address will apply to all of your communications from us.

Certain communications could include information about your account, such as a password reset request. Anyone with access to your email account or mobile device could view the content of these communications.

You agree to resolve disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of or connected with your use of the Services (each, a Dispute) as set forth in this Section 16.  Subject to the jurisdiction specific provisions below, these Terms and your use of the Services are governed by the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without regard to its choice of law provisions.

The application of the United Nations Convention of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, THE CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

For U.S. Customers:                                                                                                 

Choice of Arbitrator and Rules.  A Dispute must be submitted exclusively to the American Arbitration Association (AAA) to be heard under their Arbitration Rules. If for any reason, AAA is unable or unwilling to conduct the arbitration consistent with these terms, you and we will pick another arbitrator pursuant to 9 U.S. Code § 5.

Mandatory (Individual) Arbitration. You agree that any Dispute between us shall be resolved exclusively in individual (non-class) arbitration. The parties intend to be bound to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. An arbitration means there will be no jury, and no judge.

Scope of Arbitration. The arbitrator shall exclusively determine all issues as to the Dispute, applying these Terms. The arbitrator shall also determine any question as to whether any Dispute or issue is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall not have the power to hear any Dispute as a class action, mass action, or representative action. The arbitrator shall not have any power to issue relief to anyone but you or us.

Exception to Arbitration (Small Claims Court). Disputes that can be fully resolved in small claims court need not be submitted to arbitration.

Choice of Venue (New York). You agree that any Disputes shall be heard exclusively in New York, New York unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties or determined by the arbitrator. You consent to jurisdiction in the State of New York for all purposes.

Choice of Law (New York). These Terms and your use of the Services are governed by the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without regard to its choice of law provisions. However, any determination as to whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration, or as to the conduct of the arbitration, shall be governed exclusively by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.

Remedies Available in Arbitration. The arbitrator may grant any remedy, relief or outcome that the parties could have received in court, including awards of attorney’s fees and costs, in accordance with the law(s) that applies to the case, except injunctive relief.

Injunctive Relief. The arbitrator may not issue any injunction. If either party in a Dispute seeks injunctive relief, the arbitrator will complete arbitration of the Dispute, issue an award of monetary compensation (if any), and then the party seeking injunctive relief may file a new action in state or federal court in New York, solely for injunctive relief. The findings of fact and conclusions of law of the arbitrator shall not be submitted as evidence or constitute precedent in this subsequent suit.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER                                                                                           

Where permitted by applicable law and in the United States, Supplier and you each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action.  We each waive any right to a jury trial.
