Terms of Service

Effective Date: August 2, 2019

1. Acceptance of the Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are entered into by and between you and AtlasGuru Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AtlasGuru”, “we”, “us”, and their derivatives). These Terms and any other documents they incorporate by reference govern your access to and use of the Services, including any Content, functionality, and services offered on or them, whether as a guest or a registered user. Capitalized terms that are used but not defined elsewhere in these Terms have the meanings assigned in the Glossary of Terms at Section 21 below.

THESE TERMS CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS, AS WELL AS CONDITIONS, LIMITATIONS, AND EXCLUSIONS THAT MIGHT APPLY TO YOU. PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY. THESE TERMS REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS. BY USING ANY OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THE WEBSITES, DOWNLOADING ANY APPLICATION OR OTHERWISE AFFIRMATIVELY INDICATING YOUR AGREEMENT, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND ACKNOWLEDGE OUR PRIVACY PRACTICES AS DESCRIBED IN OUR PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, DO NOT USE ANY OF THE SERVICES, OR DOWNLOAD THE APPLICATION.

The Services are offered and available to users who are 18 years of age or older. By using any of the Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old. If you are not at least 18 years old, you must not access or use the Services.

2. Changes to these Terms

We may revise and update these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 17(h), all changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter.

Your continued use of any of the Services after we post revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page from time to time, so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

3. Registration; Account Security

To access the Services and certain of their features, you may be asked to provide information about yourself (e.g., name, age, profile picture, etc.) and register an account (an “Account”) with us. It is a condition of your use of the Services that all the information you provide to us in connection with the registration process be correct, current, and complete. By registering with us, you acknowledge that all information you provide in connection with registering an Account to use the Services (e.g., through the use of any interactive features of the Services) is governed by our Privacy Policy, and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.

If you choose, or are provided with, a user name, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your Account, if you create one, is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to the Services or portions of it using your Account, user name, password, or other security information. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your user name, password, or Account or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your Account at the end of each session. We encourage you to use particular caution when accessing your Account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.

We have the right to disable any Account, user name, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including, without limitation, if we suspect that you have violated any provision of these Terms.

The foregoing license is for the limited purposes of allowing us to operate the Services, improve and promote the Services, and develop new Services.

You represent and warrant to us that:

Where required by the Privacy Policy, we will also delete data associated with your Account and/or User Content, unless permitted or required to keep this data in accordance with law. In any event, you acknowledge and agree that: (1) deleted User Content may persist in caches or backups for a reasonable period of time, and (2) copies of or references to the User Content may not be entirely removed (e.g., where it has been reblogged or cross-posted by other users or third parties).

AtlasGuru makes no representations or warranties of any kind with respect to the Services, Content, or any Application, including any representation or warranty that the use of the Services or any Application will (1) be timely, uninterrupted or error-free or operate in combination with any other hardware, software, system, or data; (2) meet your requirements or expectations; (3) be free from errors or that defects will be corrected; (4) be free of viruses or other harmful components; or (5) be entirely secure or that the information you share with us will be secure.

16. Limitation on Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL ATLASGURU, ITS AFFILIATES, OR THEIR LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, OR DIRECTORS BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICES, ANY CONTENT (INCLUDING USER CONTENT), ANY APPLICATION, OR ANY WEBSITES LINKED TO THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERSONAL INJURY, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE.

17. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AtlasGuru, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms or your use of the Services, including, but not limited to, your User Content, or any Application or any use of the Services or Content other than as expressly authorized in these Terms, or your use of any information obtained from the Services.

18. Dispute Resolution

A. Governing Law

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of Washington without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions.

B. Agreement to Arbitrate

You and AtlasGuru agree that any Disputes will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right: (1) to bring an individual action in small claims court and (2) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights (the action described in the foregoing clause (ii), an “IP Protection Action”). Without limiting the preceding sentence, you will also have the right to litigate any other Dispute if you provide AtlasGuru with written notice of your desire to do so by using the contact information provided in Section 20 within 30 days following the date you first agree to these Terms (such notice, an “Arbitration Opt-out Notice”). If you don’t provide AtlasGuru with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice within the 30-day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any Dispute except as expressly set forth in clauses (1) and (2) above. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action or, if you timely provide AtlasGuru with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, will be the state and federal courts located in the Western District of Washington and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Unless you timely provide AtlasGuru with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, you acknowledge and agree that you and AtlasGuru are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and AtlasGuru otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Terms.

C. Arbitration Rules

The arbitration will be administered by JAMS alternative dispute resolution (“JAMS”) in accordance with the applicable JAMS clauses, rules, and procedures (the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The JAMS Rules are available at http://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures/ or by calling JAMS at 1-800-352-5267.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

D. Arbitration Process

A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the JAMS Rules. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from JAMS’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then JAMS will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Rules.

E. Arbitration Location and Procedure

Unless you and AtlasGuru otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted at JAMS’s Seattle, Washington offices located at 600 University Street, Suite 1910 Seattle, WA 98101. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and AtlasGuru submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the JAMS Rules. Subject to the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

F. Arbitrator’s Decision

The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the JAMS Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation on Liability”section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable.

G. Fees

Your responsibility to pay any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the JAMS Rules.

H. Changes

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 above, if AtlasGuru changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of AtlasGuru’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and AtlasGuru in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

19. Waiver and Severability

No waiver by AtlasGuru of any term or condition set out in these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of AtlasGuru to assert a right or provision under these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect.

20. Entire Agreement

The Terms and any agreements between you and AtlasGuru that incorporate these Terms by reference constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and AtlasGuru regarding the Services, any Application, and any Content and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Services, any Application, and any Content.
