As between you and HashMemo, you own the User Content that you submit or post to the Services, and you are only granting HashMemo the following non-exclusive license: a worldwide, transferable, and sublicensable right to use, copy, modify, distribute, publish, and process the User Content that you provide through our Services and the services of others, without any further consent, notice and/or compensation to you or others.

While we may edit and make format changes to your User Content (such as, modifying the size, layout or file type or removing metadata), we will not modify the meaning of your expression.

The limitations of liability in this Section 4 are part of the basis of the bargain between you and HashMemo and shall apply to all claims of liability (e.g., warranty, tort, negligence, contract, and law) even if HashMemo has been told of the possibility of any such damage, and even if these remedies fail their essential purpose.

These limitations of liability do not apply to liability for death or personal injury or for fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct, or in cases of negligence where a material obligation has been breached, a material obligation being such which forms a prerequisite to our delivery of services and on which you may reasonably rely, but only to the extent that the damages were directly caused by the breach and were foreseeable upon conclusion of this contract and to the extent that they are typical in the context of this contract.

5. Termination

Both you and HashMemo may terminate this contract at any time with notice to the other. On termination, you lose the right to access or use the Services. The following shall survive termination:

Our rights to use and disclose your feedback;
Sections 4, 6, and 7of these Terms of Service;

You can close your account from the settings page. If you have any questions, please contact us.

6. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

6.1 Governing Law

In the unlikely event we end up in a legal dispute, you and HashMemo agree to resolve it in Delaware courts using Delaware law.

6.2 Dispute Resolution

YOU AND HASHMEMO AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS CONTRACT AND/OR THE SERVICES SHALL BE RESOLVED BY THE FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION PROCEDURES SET BELOW. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. THE PARTIES VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL. ANY CONTROVERSY CONCERNING WHETHER A DISPUTE IS ARBITRABLE SHALL BE DETERMINED BY THE ARBITRATOR AND NOT BY THE COURT. JUDGMENT UPON ANY AWARD RENDERED BY THE ARBITRATOR MAY BE ENTERED BY A DELAWARE STATE OR FEDERAL COURT HAVING JURISDICTION THEREOF. PROCEEDINGS HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT.

Accordingly, the following arbitration procedures shall apply:

In the event a party elects to proceed with binding arbitration, it shall provide written notice thereof to the other party by registered or certified mail and shall describe in such notice, with reasonable particularity, the nature and basis of such claim and the total amount of the claim. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, the party receiving notice of a claim shall provide a written response which, with reasonable particularity, sets forth its position concerning the claim.If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute arising from the claim by good faith negotiations to be conducted within the thirty (30)-day period following the written response, either of them may initiate binding arbitration pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be administered by the AAA. The arbitration will be presided over by a single arbitrator and shall be conducted in English. If the AAA is unavailable or refuses to arbitrate the parties’ dispute for any reason, the arbitration shall be administered and conducted by a widely recognized arbitration organization that is mutually agreeable to the parties, but neither party shall unreasonably withhold their consent. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org.

BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. In arbitration, a dispute is resolved by a neutral arbitrator or panel of arbitrators, rather than by a judge or jury. Arbitration is more informal than a court trial; however, an arbitrator can award the same relief that a court can award. Separate and apart from the agreement to arbitrate set forth above, the parties hereby independently waive any right to bring or participate in any class action in any way related to, or arising from, these Terms. You acknowledge that this class action waiver is material and essential to the arbitration of any disputes between the parties and is nonseverable from these Terms of Service to arbitrate claims. If any portion of this class action waiver is limited, voided, or cannot be enforced, then the parties’ agreement to arbitrate shall be null and void.
