survive termination shall survive termination, including
without limitation the following sections in these Terms and
any similar sections or provisions in the rest of this
Agreement: Your Content, Our Intellectual Property, Warranty
Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Dispute
Resolution and Additional Terms.
12. Warranty Disclaimers
We work hard to make Kappow Apps great, but the services are
provided as is, without warranties.
12.1. Disclaimers. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, Kappow Apps makes no warranties, either
express or implied, about the Services. The Services are
provided “as is” and “as available”. Kappow Apps also
disclaims any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose and non-infringement. No advice or
information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from
Kappow Apps, shall create any warranty. Kappow Apps makes no
warranty or representation that the Services will: (a) be
timely, uninterrupted or error-free; (b) meet your
requirements or expectations; or (c) be free from viruses or
other harmful components.
12.2. Exceptions. Under certain circumstances, some
jurisdictions don't permit the disclaimers in Section 12.1, so
they may not apply to you. However, the disclaimers apply to
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. You may have
other statutory rights and nothing in this Agreement affects
your statutory rights or rights under mandatory laws. The
duration of statutorily required warranties, if any, shall be
limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
13. Limitation Of Liability
If something bad happens as a result of your using Kappow
Apps, our liability is capped.
Unless you are an EU Consumer, you acknowledge and agree that
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event
will Kappow Apps and its affiliates and their directors,
officers, employees and agents be liable with respect to any
claims arising out of or related to the Services or this
Agreement for: (a) any indirect, special, incidental,
exemplary, punitive or consequential damages; (b) any loss of
profits, revenue, data, goodwill or other intangible losses;
(c) any Losses (as defined below) related to your access to,
use of or inability to access or use parts, some or all of
your Account, Your Apps or parts or all of the Services,
including without limitation interruption of use or cessation
or modification of any aspect of the Services; (d) any Losses
related to unavailability, degradation, loss, corruption,
theft, unauthorized access or, unauthorized alteration of, any
content, information or data, including without limitation
User Content and Your eCommerce data; (e) any User Content or
other conduct or content of any user or third party using the
Services, including without limitation defamatory, offensive
or unlawful conduct or content; or (f) any Third Party
Services or third party sites accessed via the Services. If
you are an EU Consumer, we shall, despite any other provision
in this Agreement, provide the Services with reasonable care
but will not be liable for any losses which were not a
reasonably foreseeable consequence of our breach of this
Agreement (except in relation to death or personal injury
resulting from our negligence or fraud). These limitations
apply to any theory of liability, whether based on warranty,
contract, tort, negligence, strict liability or any other
legal theory, whether or not Kappow Apps has been informed of
the possibility of such damage, and even if a remedy set forth
in this Agreement is found to have failed its essential
purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law
(whether or not you are an EU Consumer), in no event shall the
aggregate liability of Kappow Apps for all claims arising out
of or related to the Services and this Agreement exceed the
greater of twenty dollars ($20) or the amounts paid by you to
Kappow Apps in the three (3) months immediately preceding the
event that gave rise to such claim.
14. Indemnification
If you do something that gets us sued, you’ll cover us.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify
and hold harmless Kappow Apps and its affiliates and its and
their directors, officers, employees and agents from and
against all damages, losses, liabilities, costs, claims,
demands, fines, awards and expenses of any kind (including
without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and costs)
(collectively, "Losses") arising out of or related to: (a)
your breach of this Agreement; (b) your User Content, Your
Apps and Your eCommerce; (c) any claims by, on behalf of or
against your End Users; (d) your violation of any law or
regulation or the rights or good name of any third party; and
(e) any claims from tax authorities in any country in relation
to Your eCommerce operations, including without limitation
your sales to individual consumers (including distance sales)
and other operations for which Kappow Apps may be held jointly
and severally liable. Your indemnification obligations under
this Section shall not apply to the extent directly caused by
our breach of this Agreement or, where you are an EU Consumer,
to the extent that the consequences were not reasonably
foreseeable.
15. Dispute Resolution
This section may not apply to you. If it does, before filing a
claim against Kappow Apps, you agree to try to work it out
informally with us first. Also, all formal disputes must be
resolved through arbitration following the rules described
below, unless you opt out of arbitration following the
procedure described below. Finally, claims can only be brought
individually, and not as part of a class action.
15.1. Applicability. This Section 15 shall only apply to: (a)
US Users; (b) Non-US Users who are not EU Consumers; or (c) EU
Consumers who bring any claim against Kappow Apps in the
US.
15.2. Informal Resolution. Before filing a claim against
Kappow Apps, you agree to try to resolve the dispute by first
emailing team@kappowapps.com with a description of your claim.
We'll try to resolve the dispute informally by following up
via email, phone or other methods. If we can’t resolve the
dispute within thirty (30) days of our receipt of your first
email, you or Kappow Apps may then bring a formal
proceeding.
15.3. Arbitration Agreement. Unless you opt-out during the
Opt-Out Period in accordance with Section 15.4, you and Kappow
Apps agree to resolve any claims, disputes and matters arising
out of or in connection with this Agreement (including without
limitation its existence, formation, operation and
termination) and/or the Services (including without limitation
non-contractual disputes and matters) through final and
binding arbitration and you and Kappow Apps expressly waive
the right to formal court proceedings (including without
limitation trial by jury), except as set forth below.
Discovery and rights to appeal in arbitration are generally
more limited than in a lawsuit, and other rights that you and
we would have in court may not be available in arbitration.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, only an experienced,
independent third party that will act as the arbitrator, and
court review of an arbitration award is limited.
15.4. Arbitration Opt-Out. You can decline this agreement to
arbitrate by emailing us at team@KappowApps.com within thirty
(30) days of the date that you first agree to this Agreement
(“Opt-Out Period”). Your email must be sent from the email
address you use for your Account, and must include your full
name and a clear statement that you want to opt out of
arbitration. If you opt out of arbitration pursuant to this
Section 15.4, then Sections 15.3, 15.5, 15.6 and 15.7 of these
Terms do not apply to you. This opt-out doesn’t affect any
other sections of the Terms, including without limitation
Sections 15.9 (Time for Filing), 15.10 (No Class Actions) and
16.2 (Controlling Law; Judicial Forum for Disputes). If you
have any questions about this process, please contact
team@kappowapps.com.
15.5. Arbitration Time For Filing. Any arbitration must be
commenced by filing a demand for arbitration within one (1)
year after the date the party asserting the claim first knows
or reasonably should know of the act, omission or default
giving rise to the claim. If applicable law prohibits a one
(1) year limitation period for asserting claims, any claim
must be asserted within the shortest time period permitted by
applicable law.
15.6. Arbitration Procedures. JAMS, Inc. (“JAMS”) will
administer the arbitration in accordance with the JAMS
Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures (“JAMS Rules”) in
effect at the time of the dispute.
15.6.1. US Users. If you are a US User, you and Kappow Apps
agree that this Agreement affects interstate commerce, so the
US Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply
and govern the interpretation and enforcement of these
provisions (despite Section 16.2 below). Any arbitration
hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in
New York, New York, in English, and shall be settled by one
(1) commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in
resolving intellectual property and commercial contract
disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of
JAMS arbitrators in accordance with the JAMS Rules. The
arbitrator must follow this Agreement and can award the same
damages and relief as a court (including without limitation
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs), except that the
arbitrator may not award declaratory or injunctive relief
benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. Judgment
upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in
any court of competent jurisdiction.
15.6.2. Non-US Users. If you are a Non-US User, you and Kappow
Apps agree that any arbitration hearings will take place at a
location to be agreed upon in the UK, in English, and shall be
settled by one (1) commercial arbitrator with substantial
experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial
contract disputes, who shall be selected in accordance with
the JAMS Rules. The arbitrator must follow this Agreement and
can award the same damages and relief as a court (including
without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and costs),
except that the arbitrator may not award declaratory or
injunctive relief benefiting anyone but the parties to the
arbitration. Judgment upon the award rendered by such
arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent
jurisdiction.
15.7. Arbitration Fees. The JAMS Rules will govern payment of
all arbitration fees. We won’t seek our attorneys’ fees and
costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that
your claim is frivolous.
15.8. Exceptions To Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement, either you or Kappow Apps may
bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop
unauthorized use or abuse of the Services, or intellectual
property infringement or misappropriation (for example,
trademark, trade secret, copyright or patent rights) without
first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute
resolution process described above.
15.8.1. US Users. If you are a US User, either you or Kappow
Apps may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court
in New York, New York or any US county where you live or
work.
15.8.2. Non-US Users. If you are a Non-US User, either you or
Kappow Apps may assert claims, if they qualify, in small
claims court in the UK.
15.8.3. EU Consumers. If you are an EU Consumer who brings a
claim against Kappow Apps in the US, such claims must be
asserted, if they qualify, in small claims court in New York,
New York.
15.9. Time For Filing. Any claim not subject to arbitration
must be commenced within one (1) year after the date the party
asserting the claim first knows or reasonably should know of
the act, omission or default giving rise to the claim. If
applicable law prohibits a one (1) year limitation period for
asserting claims, any claim must be asserted within the
shortest time period permitted by applicable law.
15.10. NO CLASS ACTIONS. You may only resolve disputes with us
on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a
plaintiff or a class member in a class, collective,
consolidated or representative action. Class actions, class
arbitrations, collective actions, private attorney general
actions and consolidation with other arbitrations aren't
allowed.
16. Additional Terms
This section includes some additional important terms. For
instance, this Agreement is the whole agreement between us
regarding your use of Kappow Apps. Depending on where you
reside or have your place of business, this Agreement is
governed by either US or Irish law. If we ever change it in a
way that meaningfully reduces your rights, we’ll give you
notice and an opportunity to cancel. Also, if you’re reading
this in a language other than English, note that the English
language version controls.
16.1. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between you and Kappow Apps regarding the subject
matter of this Agreement, and supersedes and replaces any
other prior or contemporaneous agreements, or terms and
conditions applicable to the subject matter of this Agreement.
You agree that you have not relied upon, and have no remedies
in respect of, any term, condition, statement, warranty or
representation except those expressly set out in this
Agreement. You also may be subject to additional terms,
policies or agreements that may apply when you use other
services, including Third Party Services. This Agreement
creates no third party beneficiary rights, and no third party
shall have any right or standing to claim benefit or bring an
action to enforce this Agreement (except otherwise agreed upon
in additional terms between you and a Kappow Apps group
company that sets forth such Kappow Apps group company’s third
party beneficiary rights to enforce this Agreement).
16.2. Controlling Law; Judicial Forum For Disputes.
16.2.1. US Users. If you are a US User, this Agreement
(including its existence, formation, operation and
termination) and the Services as well as all disputes and
matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement
and the Services (including non-contractual disputes and
matters) shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the
State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law
provisions, except that the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”)
shall prevail to the extent that there exists any conflict
between the FAA and the laws of the State of New York with
respect to Section 15. If Section 15 is found not to apply to
you or your claim, or if you opt out of arbitration pursuant
to Section 15.4, you and Kappow Apps agree that any judicial
proceeding (other than small claims actions) arising out of or
in connection with this Agreement (including its existence,
formation, operation and termination) and/or the Services
(including non-contractual disputes and matters) must be
brought exclusively in the federal or state courts of New
York, New York and you and Kappow Apps consent to venue and
personal jurisdiction in such courts.
16.2.2. Non-US Users. If you are a Non-US User, this Agreement
(including its existence, formation, operation and
termination) and the Services as well as all disputes and
matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement
and the Services (including non-contractual disputes and
matters) shall be governed in all respects by UK law, without
regard to its conflict of law provisions. If you are an EU
Consumer, this Section does not limit or affect any rights you
may have under any mandatory laws of the country where you
habitually live. If Section 15 is found not to apply to you or
your claim, or if you opt out of arbitration pursuant to
Section 15.4, you and Kappow Apps agree that, except where
Section 16.2.3 applies, any judicial proceeding (other than
small claims actions) arising out of or in connection with
this Agreement (including its existence, formation, operation
and termination) and/or the Services (including
non-contractual disputes and matters) must be brought
exclusively in the courts of UK and you and Kappow Apps
consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in such courts.
16.2.3. EU Consumers. If you are an EU Consumer, as long as
Section 16 does not apply to you or your claim, you and Kappow
Apps agree that any judicial proceeding arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement (including its existence,
formation, operation and termination) and/or the Services
(including non-contractual disputes and matters) may only be
brought in a court located in UK or a court with jurisdiction
in your place of habitual residence. If you are an EU Consumer
and Kappow Apps wishes to enforce any of its rights against
you as a consumer, we may do so only in the courts of the
jurisdiction in which you habitually reside.
16.3. EU Online Dispute Resolution. If you are an EU Consumer,
you can access the European Commission’s online dispute
resolution platform here. Please note that Kappow Apps is not
committed nor obliged to use an alternative dispute resolution
entity to resolve disputes with you.
16.4. Waiver, Severability And Assignment. Our failure or
delay to enforce any provision of this Agreement is not a
waiver of our right to do so later. If any provision of this
Agreement is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions
will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be
substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible. You
may not delegate, transfer or assign this Agreement or any of
your rights or obligations hereunder without our prior written
consent, and any such attempt will be of no effect. We may
delegate, transfer or assign this Agreement or some or all of
our rights and obligations hereunder, in our sole discretion,
to any of our affiliates or subsidiaries or to any purchaser
of any of our business or assets associated with the Services,
with thirty (30) days prior written notice. If you are an EU
Consumer, we will ensure that the delegation, transfer or
assignment does not adversely affect your rights under this
Agreement.
16.5. Modifications. We may modify this Agreement from time to
time, and will post the most current version on our site. If a
modification meaningfully reduces your rights, we’ll notify
you (by, for example, sending you an email or displaying a
prominent notice within the Services). The notice will
designate a reasonable period after which the new terms will
take effect. Modifications will not apply retroactively. By
continuing to use or access the Services after any
modifications come into effect, you agree to be bound by the
modified Agreement and price changes. If you disagree with our
changes, then you must stop using the Services and cancel all
Paid Services.
16.6. Events Beyond Our Control. We are not in breach of this
Agreement or liable to you if there is any total or partial
failure of performance of the Services resulting from any act,
circumstance, event or matter beyond our reasonable control.
This may include where such results from any act of God, fire,
act of government or state or regulation, war, civil
commotion, terrorism, insurrection, inability to communicate
with third parties for whatever reason, failure of any
computer dealing or necessary system, failure or delay in
transmission of communications, failure of any internet
service provider, strike, industrial action or lock-out or any
other reason beyond our reasonable control.
16.7. Translation. This Agreement was originally written in
English. We may translate this Agreement into other languages.
In the event of a conflict between a translated version and
the English version, the English version will control except
where prohibited by applicable law.
