1.   Accounts

1.1.   Account Creation.  In order to use certain features of the Site, you must register for an account (“Account”) and provide certain information about yourself as prompted by the account registration form.  You represent, warrant and covenant that: (a) all required registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information; and (c) you will not use a username (or e-mail address) that is: (i) already being used by someone else, (ii) may impersonate another person, (iii) belongs to another person, (iv) violates the any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity, or (v) is offensive. We may reject the use of any password, username, or e-mail address for any other reason in our sole discretion.  You may delete your Account at any time, for any reason, by following the instructions on the Site.  Company may suspend or terminate your Account in accordance with Section 8.

1.2.   Account Responsibilities.  You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account login information and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Account.  Without limiting the foregoing, you agree to take commercially reasonable efforts to protect and maintain the security of any device you use to access your Account. You agree to immediately notify Company of any unauthorized use, or suspected unauthorized use of your Account or any other breach of security.  Company cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.

1.3.   Applicants.  If you are an Applicant, the following terms apply with respect to your use of the Site:

(a)   If your prospective Landlord has elected to license Snappt’s fraud detection and identity verification software as a service (“FD Service”), you will be provided with a URL to provide your Applicant Data to the Site, which Snappt will analyze and generate a report that will be submitted to the applicable Landlord (each, a “Submission”).  The FD Service is intended to detect whether your income and identity verification materials collected by Snappt indicate the specific categories of fraudulent activity that are monitored by Snappt.  The resulting Report may, among other things, indicate whether the Submission was “Clean” (i.e., Snappt did not detect any fraudulent activity), whether the Submission was “Edited” (i.e., Snappt detected edits to the documents submitted by you, or Snappt otherwise detected other fraudulent activity (e.g., a fraudulent payroll service or employer was used to produce submitted documentation). On occasion, Snappt will be unable to render an analysis of the Submission (e.g., if a document was scanned or downloaded using the “print pdf” function, or if additional documentation is needed to verify the Submission), in which case Snappt will notify the Landlord that the Submission was “Insufficient”, and the Landlord will determine whether to request that you resubmit additional documentation.  To the extent you are manually uploading your Applicant Data to the Snappt portal (as opposed to using a direct payroll or bank account connection service), only pdf bank statements and pay stubs generated directly from your financial institution or payroll provider’s website are covered by Snappt.  All other documents cannot be scored by Snappt and will be returned to the Landlord as “Insufficient”.

(b)   If your prospective Landlord has elected to license payroll and/or bank account connectivity software as a service, you will be given the option of connecting Snappt directly to your payroll provider or bank account to access the requisite income verification information.  If you choose to elect this option, you may be directed to a third-party data transfer agent to provide the income data to Snappt pursuant to such third-party’s terms.  You may be asked to agree to such third-party’s privacy policy and terms and conditions, and your use of the Site will be expressly conditioned upon your agreement to and compliance with such terms.  By electing to engage the third-party, you hereby authorize Snappt to collect and process the income data necessary to satisfy your prospective Landlord’s leasing requirements (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be deemed Applicant Data hereunder).  Snappt offers no guarantee that your payroll provider or bank account will be interoperable with Snappt’s service.

(c)   If your prospective Landlord has elected to license Snappt’s financial verification software as a service (the “FV Service”), Snappt will analyze your data collected from Submissions to generate certain calculations of your finances that are supported by Snappt (“Financial Summaries”), which shall be reflected in the Report.  Because Financial Summaries are a snapshot based on the limited information reported by you in the Submission (e.g. gross income with respect to the applicable pay periods, extrapolated to a monthly figure), you expressly acknowledge that Financial Summaries are not a guarantee of your total financials.  Accordingly, you agree to discuss any issues and concerns regarding your financial information with the Landlord to ensure that they adequately reflect your relevant financial status and meet the Landlord’s leasing standards. The FV Service currently will only calculate Financial Summaries from Submissions that reflect a pay period of no less than 28 consecutive days and which occurred within the last 90 days.  Unless you are utilizing Snappt’s payroll connection or bank account connectivity services, currently only pay stubs, earning statements, so-called “Cash App” statements (e.g., earnings from Uber, Lyft, etc.), U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs benefits letters, Social Security statements and Social Security benefits letters can be analyzed by the FV Service. 

(d)   If your prospective Landlord has elected to license facial identification and ID matching services from Snappt, you may be directed to a third-party provider to upload a picture of a government issued identification card and to take a “selfie” image of your face.  You may be asked to agree to such third-party’s privacy policy and terms and conditions, and your use of the Site will be expressly conditioned upon your agreement to and compliance with such terms.  By electing to proceed, you hereby authorize Snappt to collect and process the facial identification information and report the same to the Landlord.

(e)   For the avoidance of doubt, all decisions whether to lease you an apartment are made entirely by the Landlord, and you acknowledge that Snappt and its Licensors have no responsibility with respect thereto.  You agree to direct all issues, concerns and disputes regarding the decision to lease or not lease an apartment to the Landlord.  You agree that your sole and exclusive remedy for any claim arising out of or relating to the decision to lease or not lease you an apartment shall be brought exclusively against the Landlord, and not against Snappt or its Licensors.  In furtherance of the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby waive, release and forever discharge Company, its Licensors and its and their affiliates (and each of its and their respective officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns) from, and hereby waive and relinquish, each and every past, present and future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, liability, action and cause of action of every kind and nature (including personal injuries, death, and property damage), that has arisen or arises directly or indirectly out of, or that relates directly or indirectly to, the Services (including the decision to lease or not lease an apartment to the Landlord).  This waiver and release does not waive or release claims arising out of a breach of these Terms by Snappt or that cannot be waived or released as a matter of law.  YOU HEREBY WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 (AND ANY EQUIVALENT LAWS OF ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION) IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, WHICH STATES: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”

IN THE EVENT ANY NOTICE TO YOU OF NEW, REVISED OR ADDITIONAL TERMS IS DETERMINED BY A TRIBUNAL OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO BE INSUFFICIENT, THE PRIOR TERMS SHALL CONTINUE UNTIL SUFFICIENT NOTICE TO ESTABLISH A NEW AGREEMENT OCCURS. YOU SHOULD FREQUENTLY CHECK THIS URL, THE APP PORTAL AND THE EMAIL YOU ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ACCOUNT FOR NOTICES, ALL OF WHICH YOU AGREE ARE REASONABLE MANNERS OF PROVIDING YOU NOTICE. YOU CAN REJECT ANY NEW, REVISED OR ADDITIONAL TERMS BY DISCONTINUING USE OF THE SERVICE(S). YOU ARE HEREBY ADVISED TO PRINT A COPY OF THESE TERMS AND ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS TO RETAIN FOR YOUR RECORDS.

10.2.   Dispute Resolution. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (the “Arbitration Agreement”) carefully.  It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Company, its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives (collectively, the “Company Parties”) and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from the Company Parties. 

(a)   Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.  You agree that any dispute between you and any of the Company Parties relating in any way to the Site, the Services or these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you and the Company Parties may assert individualized claims in small claims court if the claims qualify, remain in such court and advance solely on an individual, non-class basis; and (2) the Company Parties may seek equitable relief in court for violations of the Acceptable Use Policy and/or infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of these Terms and shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before you agreed to these Terms (in accordance with the preamble) or any prior version of these Terms. This Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies.  Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against the Company Parties on your behalf.  For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, “Dispute” will also include disputes that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of the Agreement as well as claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.

(b)   Document Submission and Similar Disputes.  If any Dispute arises out of or relates to Applicant Data submitted to or though the Service(s) (e.g., as an Applicant, you believe we mistakenly marked your application materials as having been edited), (collectively, “Application Dispute”), then you and Company agree to engage in good-faith informal efforts to resolve the Application Dispute by you sending a written notice to us providing a reasonable description of the Application Dispute. Applicants shall submit information about their Application Dispute via email to [email protected] and Landlords shall submit information about their Application Dispute to [email protected]. The written description included in your email notice must provide at least the following information: your name; the nature or basis of the Dispute; the date of Submission of your Applicant Data in dispute, and any proposed resolution to your issue.  For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of our receipt of your email notice, you agree to discuss the dispute in good faith with Company through Informal Dispute Resolution. To the extent that you commence a Application Dispute and it goes unresolved within such sixty (60) day period referenced above, your exclusive recourse must be commenced via an arbitration proceeding pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 10.2(d) below.  For avoidance of doubt, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the exhaustion of the above Informal Dispute Resolution process is a prerequisite to commencing an arbitration proceeding regarding any Application Dispute.

(c)   Informal Dispute Resolution. For any other Dispute, then you and Company agree to send a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the Dispute, along with a proposed resolution in a good faith attempt to resolve the Dispute. For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, Snappt and you will attempt to informally resolve the Dispute via email (“Informal Dispute Resolution”), though nothing will require either you or Company to resolve the Dispute on terms with respect to which you or us, in each of our sole discretion, are not comfortable.  To the extent that you commence an Informal Dispute Resolution and it goes unresolved within such sixty (60) day period referenced above, your exclusive recourse must be commenced via an arbitration proceeding pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 10.2(d) below. 

(d)   Arbitration Rules and Forum. These Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce; and notwithstanding any other provision herein with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any arbitration proceedings. If the Informal Dispute Resolution process described above does not resolve satisfactorily within 60 days after receipt of your notice pursuant to Section 10.2(b) or (c) above, as applicable,, you and Company agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider, in Los Angeles County, California. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims with an amount in controversy under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’ most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Request”). The Request must include: (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address of the party seeking arbitration and the account username (if applicable) as well as the email address associated with any applicable account; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good‐faith calculation of the amount in controversy in United States Dollars; (4) a statement certifying completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution process as described above; and (5) evidence that the requesting party has paid any necessary filing fees in connection with such arbitration.  If the party requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Request shall also include counsel’s name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address. Such counsel must also sign the Request. By signing the Request, counsel certifies to the best of counsel’s knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that: (1) the Request is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (2) the claims, defenses and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (3) the factual and damages contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery.  Unless you and Company otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed in Subsection 10.2(i) is triggered, the arbitration will be conducted in Los Angeles County, California. You agree to the foregoing as the exclusive venue for any arbitration.  Subject to the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any JAMS fees and costs will be solely as set forth in the applicable JAMS Rules.  You and Company agree that all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings shall be kept confidential and shall not be shared with anyone except the parties’ attorneys, accountants, or business advisors, and then subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential.

(e)   Authority of Arbitrator. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes subject to arbitration hereunder including, without limitation, any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement.  The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any controversy as to whether a dispute is arbitrable, construing the scope of this Agreement broadly in favor of final and binding arbitration, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.  The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties, except as expressly provided in the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration.” The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual party under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and these Terms (including the Arbitration Agreement); provided, that the arbitrator will have no authority to award any punitive or exemplary damages. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator shall follow the applicable law. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

(f)   Waiver of Jury Trial. EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED in section 10.2(a) YOU AND THE COMPANY PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and the Company Parties are instead electing that all covered claims and disputes shall be resolved exclusively by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 10.2(a) above. Except as expressly set forth above, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review. 

(g)   Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief.  YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN SUBSECTION 10.2(I) EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the party’s individual claim. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to, nor shall it, affect the terms and conditions under the Subsection 10.2(i) entitled “Batch Arbitration.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a court decides by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that the limitations of this subsection, “Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief,” are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and Company agree that that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in the State of California. All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This subsection does not prevent you or Company from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.

(h)   Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Dispute or the relief sought in the Request was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). If you or Company need to invoke the authority of a court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration, then the party that obtains an order compelling arbitration in such action shall have the right to collect from the other party its reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in securing an order compelling arbitration. The prevailing party in any proceeding or action relating to whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration, including the Informal Dispute Resolution process, is entitled to recover their reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

(i)   Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and Company agree that in the event that there are 100 or more individual Requests of a substantially similar nature filed against Company by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a 30 day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), JAMS shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Requests per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 100 Requests left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Requests); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”).  All parties agree that Requests are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the parties disagree on the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise JAMS, and JAMS shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by Company.  You and Company agree to cooperate in good faith with JAMS to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Requests, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings.  This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision.

(j)   30-Day Right to Opt Out.  You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending a timely written notice of your decision to opt out to the address set forth in Section 10.10 below within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have with us, or may enter into in the future with us.

(k)   Invalidity. Except as provided in the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief”, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

(l)   Expiration. YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE THAT YOU HAVE WITH COMPANY AS DETAILED IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE INITIATED VIA ARBITRATION WITHIN THE EARLIER OF ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE SUBJECT OF THE DISPUTE AROSE OR THE APPLICABLE STATUTE OF LIMITATION FOR THAT CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY, OR IT WILL BE FOREVER TIME BARRED. LIKEWISE, YOU AGREE THAT ALL APPLICABLE STATUTES OF LIMITATION WILL APPLY TO SUCH ARBITRATION IN THE SAME MANNER AS THOSE STATUTES OF LIMITATION WOULD APPLY IN THE APPLICABLE COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.

(m)   Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if Company makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within 30 days of such change becoming effective by writing Company at the address set forth in Section 10.10 below.  Unless you reject the change within 30 days of such change becoming effective by writing to Company in accordance with the foregoing, your continued use of the Site and/or Services, including the acceptance of products and services offered on the Site following the posting of changes to this Arbitration Agreement constitutes your acceptance of any such changes. Changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement if you have previously agreed to a version of these Terms and did not validly opt out of arbitration. If you reject any change or update to this Arbitration Agreement, and you were bound by an existing agreement to arbitrate Disputes arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services or of the Site, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Site, the Services, or these Terms, the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms) remain in full force and effect. Company will continue to honor any valid opt outs of the Arbitration Agreement that you made to a prior version of these Terms. 

(n)   Venue. Except where arbitration is required above, or with respect to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute arising hereunder may only be instituted in federal or state court in Los Angeles County, California. Accordingly, you and Snappt consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters.

(o)   Waiver of Injunctive or Other Equitable Relief.  IF YOU CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE INCURRED ANY LOSS, DAMAGES, OR INJURIES IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM AND OUR PROVISION OF THE SERVICES, THEN THE LOSSES, DAMAGES, AND INJURIES WILL NOT BE IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE YOU TO AN INJUNCTION OR TO OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF OF ANY KIND. THIS MEANS THAT, IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR CLAIM, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT SEEK, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN, ANY COURT OR OTHER ACTION THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH OR PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OR EXPLOITATION OF ANY WEBSITE, APPLICATION, CONTENT, PRODUCT, SERVICE, OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNED, LICENSED, USED OR CONTROLLED BY SNAPPT OR A LICENSOR OF SNAPPT.

10.3.   Export. The Site may be subject to U.S. export control laws and may be subject to export or import regulations in other countries. You agree not to export, reexport, or transfer, directly or indirectly, any U.S. technical data acquired from Company, or any products utilizing such data, in violation of the United States export laws or regulations. You are responsible for complying with all trade regulations and laws both foreign and domestic.  Except as authorized by law, you agree and warrant not to export or re-export the software to any county, or to any person, entity, or end-user subject to U.S. export controls.

10.4.   Disclosures.  If you are a California resident, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Product of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 400 R Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

10.5.   Electronic Communications.  The communications between you and Company use electronic means, whether you use the Site or send us emails, or whether Company posts notices on the Site or communicates with you via email. For contractual purposes, you (a) consent to receive communications from Company in an electronic form; and (b) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Company provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were be in a hardcopy writing. The foregoing does not affect your non-waivable rights.

10.6.   Entire Terms. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Site. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” means “including without limitation”.  If any provision of these Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.  Neither party is an employee, agent or partner of the other.  These Terms, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without Company’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.  Company may freely assign these Terms.  The terms and conditions set forth in these Terms shall be binding upon assignees.
