Terms & Conditions

Acceptance of the Terms of Use

These terms of use are entered into between you and Squeesh LLC (“Squeesh,” “Company,” “we,” or “us”). The following terms, plus the Squeesh App End User License Agreement available at [URL], govern your access to and use of https://squeeshapp.com/ and the Squeesh mobile application (“Squeesh App”), including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through https://squeeshapp.com/ or the Squeesh App (that website and that Squeesh App, the “Platform”), whether as a guest or a registered user.

Please read the terms of use carefully before you start to use the Platform. By using the Platform or by clicking to accept or agree to the terms of use when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these terms of use. If you do not want to agree to these terms of use, you must not access or use the Platform.

These terms of use require the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions.

This Platform is offered and available to users who are 18 (19 in Canada) years of age or older. By using this Platform, you state that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with Squeesh and meet all the preceding eligibility requirements. If you do not meet all these requirements, you must not access or use the Platform.

Changes to the Terms of Use

We may revise and update these terms of use on one or more occasions. All changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of the Platform afterward. But any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set out in Governing Law and Jurisdiction will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice on or before the date the change is posted on the Platform.

Your continued use of the Platform after the posting of revised terms of use means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page frequently so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

Accessing the Platform and Account Security

We may withdraw or amend this Platform and any service or material we provide on the Platform without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason any part of the Platform is unavailable. On one or more occasions, we may restrict access to some parts of the Platform, or the entire Platform, to users, including registered users.

You are responsible for both:

  • Making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Platform.
  • Ensuring that all persons who access the Platform through your internet connection are aware of these terms of use and comply with them.

To access the Platform or some of the resources it offers, you might be asked to provide certain registration details or other information. It is a condition of your use of the Platform that all the information you provide on the Platform is accurate. All information you provide to register with this Platform or otherwise, including, but not limited to, through the use of any interactive features on the Platform, is governed by our Privacy Policy, and you consent to all actions we take regarding your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.

If you choose, or are provided with, a username, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat that information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. Your account is personal to you and you must not provide any other person with access to this Platform or portions of it using your username, password, or other security information. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your username or password or any other breach of security. You also must ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others cannot view or record your password or other personal information.

We may disable any username, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, for any reason, including if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of these terms of use.

Intellectual Property Rights

All User Contributions must comply with the Content Standards set out in these terms of use.

Monitoring and Enforcement; Termination

We may:

  • Remove or refuse to post any User Contributions for any reason.
  • Take any action regarding any User Contribution that we consider necessary or appropriate, including if we believe that the User Contribution violates the terms of use, including the Content Standards, infringes any intellectual property right or other right of any person or entity, threatens the personal safety of the Platform’s users or the public, or could create liability for Squeesh.
  • Disclose your identity or other information about you to any nonparty who claims that material posted by you violates their rights, including their intellectual property rights or their right to privacy.
  • Take appropriate legal action, including without limitation, referral to law enforcement, for any illegal or unauthorized use of the Platform.

You hereby waive and shall indemnify Squeesh and its affiliates, licensees, and service providers against any claims resulting from any action taken by any of the preceding parties during, or taken because of, investigations by either those parties or law enforcement authorities.

However, we do not review material before it is posted on the Platform and cannot ensure prompt removal of objectionable material after it has been posted. Accordingly, we assume no liability for any action or inaction regarding transmissions, communications, or content provided by any user or nonparty. We have no liability or responsibility to anyone for performance or nonperformance of the activities described in this section.

This includes links contained in advertisements, including banner advertisements and sponsored links. We have no control over the contents of those sites or resources and accept no responsibility for them or for any loss or damage that might arise from your use of them.

Access to the Platform might not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries. If you access the Platform from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

Warranty Disclaimers

You understand that we cannot and do not guarantee or warrant that files available for downloading from the internet or the Platform will be free of viruses or other destructive code. You are responsible for implementing sufficient procedures and checkpoints to satisfy your particular requirements for anti-virus protection and accuracy of data input and output, and for maintaining a means external to our Platform for any reconstruction of any lost data. To the extent provided by law, we will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by a distributed denial-of-service attack, viruses, or other technologically harmful material that might infect your computer equipment, computer programs, data, or other proprietary material due to your use of the Platform or any services or items obtained through the Platform or to your downloading of any material posted on it, or on any website linked to it.

Your use of the Platform, its content, and any services or items obtained through the Platform is at your own risk. The Platform, its content, and any services or items obtained through the Platform are provided “as is” and “as available,” without any warranties, either express or implied. Neither Squeesh nor any person associated with Squeesh is making any warranty regarding the completeness, security, reliability, quality, accuracy, or availability of the Platform. Without limiting the preceding, neither Squeesh nor anyone associated with Squeesh states that the Platform, its content, or any services or items obtained through the Platform will be accurate, reliable, error-free, or uninterrupted; that defects will be corrected; that our Platform or the server that makes it available are free of viruses or other harmful components; or that the Platform or any services or items obtained through the Platform will otherwise meet your needs or expectations.

To the extent provided by law, Squeesh is not making any warranty, whether express or implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to any warranty of merchantability, noninfringement, and fitness for particular purpose.

The preceding does not affect any warranties that cannot be excluded or limited under law.

Limitation on Liability

To the extent provided by law, in no event will Squeesh, 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 Platform, any websites linked to it, any content on the Platform or those other websites, 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.

The limitation of liability set out above does not apply to liability resulting from our gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The preceding does not affect any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under law.

Indemnification

You shall indemnify Squeesh, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns 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 of use or your use of the Platform, including, but not limited to, your User Contributions, any use of the Platform’s content, services, and products other than as expressly authorized in these terms of use, or your use of any information obtained from the Platform.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

Washington law governs all adversarial proceedings arising out of this agreement or use of the Platform.

As the exclusive means of bringing adversarial proceedings to resolve any dispute arising out of this agreement or the subject matter of this agreement not subject to arbitration, a party may bring such a proceeding in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington or in a state court of Washington. Each party acknowledges that those courts would be a convenient forum.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

You and Squeesh are agreeing to give up any rights to litigate claims in a court or before a jury, or to participate in a class action or representative action regarding a claim. Other rights that you would have if you went to court might also be unavailable or might be limited in arbitration.

Any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, whether preexisting, present, or future, and including statutory, consumer protection, common law, intentional tort, injunctive, and equitable claims) between you and us arising from or relating in any way to your use of the Platform, will be resolved exclusively and finally by binding arbitration.

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or the agreement is void, voidable, or otherwise invalid. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant any relief that would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

If you prevail on any claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to you under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.

You may elect to pursue your claim in small-claims court rather than arbitration if you provide us with written notice of your intention to do so within 60 days of your first use of the Platform. The arbitration or small-claims court proceeding will be limited solely to your individual dispute or controversy.

You agree to an arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, neither you nor Squeesh will be entitled to join or consolidate claims by or against other users in court or arbitration or otherwise participate in any claim as a class representative, class member, or in a private attorney general capacity. The arbitral tribunal must not consolidate more than one person’s claims and must not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver must only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.

If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.

Limitation on Time to File Claims

Any cause of action or claim you may have arising out of or relating to these terms of use or the Platform must be filed within one year after the cause of action accrues; otherwise, that cause of action or claim is permanently barred.

Waiver and Severability

No waiver under these terms of use will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party granting the waiver. A waiver granted on one occasion will not operate as a waiver on other occasions.

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

Entire Agreement

These terms of use and the Squeesh App End User License Agreement constitute the entire understanding between the parties regarding the Platform and supersede all other agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties. If these terms of use and the Squeesh App End User License Agreement are inconsistent, the Squeesh App End User License Agreement will prevail.
