Controlling Terms

POPLY is continually improving its Service, and we may occasionally offer special features or functionality which include additional Terms of Service. If any of the additional Terms conflict with the Terms described below, the additional Terms control.

User Warranties

You represent and warrant that: (a) you are the sole and exclusive owner of all submissions made and information provided in connection with your use of the Services and POPLY Application and Site; and (b) none of your submissions through the Services or POPLY Application and Site will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party's Intellectual Property Rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.

POPLY Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service, including, without limitation, POPLY content, is provided on an "as is", "as available" and "with all faults" basis. To the fullest extent permissible by law, neither POPLY nor any of its employees, partners, managers, officers or agents (collectively, the "POPLY parties") make any representations or warranties or endorsements of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, as to: (a) the Service; (b) the POPLY content; or (c) security associated with the transmission of information to POPLY or via the Service. In addition, the POPLY parties hereby disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, title, custom, trade, quiet enjoyment, system integration and freedom from computer virus.

The POPLY parties do not represent or warrant that the Service will be error-free or uninterrupted; that defects will be corrected; or that the Service or the server that makes the Service available is free from any harmful components, including, without limitation, viruses. The POPLY parties do not make any representations or warranties that the information (including any instructions) on the Service is accurate, complete, or useful. You acknowledge that your use of the Service is at your sole risk. The POPLY parties do not warrant that your use of the Service is lawful in any particular jurisdiction, and the POPLY parties specifically disclaimer such warranties. Some jurisdictions limit or do not allow the disclaimer of implied or other warranties so the above disclaimer may not apply to you to the extent such jurisdiction's law is applicable to you and these Terms of Service.

By accessing or using the Service you represent and warrant that your activities are lawful in every jurisdiction where you access or use the Service.

The POPLY parties do not endorse content and specifically disclaimer any responsibility or liability to any person or entity for any loss, damage (whether actual, consequential, punitive or otherwise), injury, claim, liability or other cause of any kind or character based upon or resulting from any content.

Users hereby give any consents required by law for the Services to operate as set forth in these Terms of Service.

Limitation of Liability; Waiver

Under no circumstances will the POPLY parties be liable to you for any loss or damages of any kind (including, without limitation, for any direct, indirect, economic, exemplary, special, punitive, incidental or consequential losses or damages), including, without limitation, any that are directly or indirectly related to: (a) the Service; (b) the POPLY content; (c) your use of, inability to use, or the performance of the Service; (d) any action taken in connection with an investigation by the POPLY parties or law enforcement authorities regarding your or any other party's use of the Service; (e) any action taken in connection with copyright or other intellectual property owners; (f) any errors or omissions in the Service's operation; or (g) any damage to any user's computer, mobile device, or other equipment or technology including, without limitation, damage from any security breach or from any virus, bugs, tampering, fraud, error, omission, interruption, defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer line or network failure or any other technical or other malfunction, including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of goodwill, loss of data, work stoppage, accuracy of results, or computer failure or malfunction, even if foreseeable or even if the POPLY parties have been advised of or should have known of the possibility of such damages, whether in an action of contract, negligence, strict liability or tort (including, without limitation, whether caused in whole or in part by negligence, acts of god, telecommunications failure, or theft or destruction of the Service). In no event will the POPLY parties be liable to you or anyone else for loss, damage or injury, including, without limitation, death or personal injury. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In no event will the POPLY parties' total liability to you for all damages, losses or causes of action exceed one hundred United States dollars ($100.00).

You agree that in the event you incur any damages, losses or injuries that arise out of POPLY's acts or omissions, the damages, if any, caused to you are not irreparable or sufficient to entitle you to an injunction preventing any exploitation of any web Application and Site, service, property, product or other content owned or controlled by the POPLY parties, and you will have no rights to enjoin or restrain the development, production, distribution, advertising, exhibition or exploitation of any web Application and Site, property, product, service, or other content owned or controlled by the POPLY parties.

By accessing the Service, you understand that you may be waiving rights with respect to claims that are at this time unknown or unsuspected, and in accordance with such waiver, you acknowledge that you have read and understand, and hereby expressly waive, the benefits of section 1542 of the civil code of California, and any similar law of any state or territory, which provides as follows: "a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

POPLY is not responsible for the actions, content, information, or data of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claims you have against any such third parties.

Indemnification

Unless prohibited by law, you (and also any third party for whom you operate an account or activity on the Service) agree to defend (at POPLY's request), indemnify and hold the POPLY Parties harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with any of the following (including as a result of your direct activities on the Service or those conducted on your behalf): (a) your access to or use of the Service; (b) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms of Service; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation, any intellectual property right, publicity, confidentiality, property or privacy right; (d) your violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes, statutes, ordinances or orders of any governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, including, without limitation, all regulatory, administrative and legislative authorities; or (e) any misrepresentation made by you. You will cooperate as fully required by POPLY in the defense of any claim. POPLY reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you will not in any event settle any claim without the prior written consent of POPLY.

Dispute Resolution

You agree that any dispute between you and POPLY arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service, the POPLY Service, or any other POPLY products or services (collectively, "Disputes") will be governed by the arbitration procedure outlined below.

Governing Law: The Terms of Service and the resolution of any Disputes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

Informal Dispute Resolution: We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against POPLY, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting us. We'll try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting you through email. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days after submission, you or POPLY may bring a formal proceeding.

We Both Agree To Arbitrate: You and POPLY agree to resolve any Disputes through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below.

Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate: You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting us within 30 days of first accepting these Terms of Service and stating that you (include your first and last name) decline this arbitration agreement.

Arbitration Procedures: The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you live or work, San Francisco, California, or any other location we agree to.

Arbitration Fees: The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. POPLY will pay all arbitration fees for claims less than $75,000. POPLY will not seek its attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate: Without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute resolution process described above, either you or POPLY (1) may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in San Francisco, California, or any United States county where you live or work and seek an amount up to the jurisdictional limit for individuals in such small claims court (notwithstanding any limitation on such damages set forth herein), or (2) may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief (including, in the case of POPLY, to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the POPLY products or POPLY Service), or for infringement or material breach of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights).

No Class Actions: You may only resolve Disputes with POPLY on an individual basis and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations aren't allowed under our agreement.

Judicial Forum for Disputes: In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and POPLY agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of San Francisco County, California. Both you and POPLY consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. We both agree to waive our right to a jury trial.

Limitation on Claims: Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claims or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of the POPLY products or POPLY Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claims or cause of action arose, or else that claims or cause of action will be barred forever.

Governing Law & Venue

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.

If any provision of these Terms of Service is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable during arbitration or by a court of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms of Service and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. POPLY's insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. No waiver of any of these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition.

Entire Agreement

If you are using the Service on behalf of a legal entity, you represent that you are authorized to enter into an agreement on behalf of that legal entity. These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and POPLY and governs your use of the Service, unless you have a separate signed agreement with POPLY that states it supersedes this Terms of Service.

You will not assign the Terms of Service or assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of POPLY. Any purported assignment or delegation by you without the appropriate prior written consent of POPLY will be null and void. POPLY may assign these Terms of Service or any rights hereunder without your consent.
