You will be required to register for an account in order to access and use certain features of the Services. When you provide information during the registration process, you agree to provide only true, accurate, current, and complete information and to update it as necessary to maintain its truth and accuracy. If you register for a Biteable account, you are responsible for all activities that occur under your account or password and you are prohibited from selling, transferring or assigning your subscription or any subscriber rights thereunder. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for restricting access to Internet connected devices from which you may access the Services, so that others may not access the password protected portions of the Services using your account information or the Services. You agree to immediately notify Biteable of any unauthorized use of your username or password or any other breach of security. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your username or password. You may be held liable for losses incurred by Biteable or another party due to unauthorized access of your account.

3. USER CONTENT.

3.1. User Submissions; User License Grant. Biteable does not claim ownership of materials you provide, post, upload, input, submit or otherwise share (“Post”) with Biteable or others as part of the Services (“Submissions”).

3.2. Feedback. While we appreciate your interest in the Services and our business, we do not want, and cannot accept, any Feedback that you consider confidential and/or proprietary. This is to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings when projects independently developed by or on behalf of Biteable might appear similar to your own creative ideas, suggestions, or materials. Except with respect to your Personal Information as expressly provided for in our Privacy Policy, all comments, suggestions, ideas, drawings, concepts, or other information or materials disclosed or offered to us by you (collectively, “Feedback”) shall be deemed to be gratuitous, non-confidential, and non-proprietary.

6. TERM AND TERMINATION.

6.1. Termination of Subscription. YOU MAY CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AT ANY TIME; HOWEVER, THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OF PRE-PAID FEES IF YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PRIOR TO THE END OF YOUR CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION TERM. In the event that Biteable suspends or terminates your account, you understand and agree that you shall receive no refund or exchange for any unused time remaining on your subscription. Upon termination or expiration of your Subscription Term or use of Free Services, your license to use the Services shall immediately terminate, and you will have to download your Submissions and any content you created in order to maintain access to those materials and content. Or, you can continue to use the Free Services via your account. After termination or expiration, all content that you have created or will create will be marked with the Biteable watermark. You must cancel your subscription at least ten (10) days prior to the end of the then-current subscription period in order to avoid being charged the applicable subscription fee for a subsequent renewal term. In no event will termination relieve you of your obligation to pay any fees payable to Biteable for the period prior to the effective date of termination.

6.2. Term of Agreement; Survival. These Terms commence on the date you first accept them and continue until all subscriptions hereunder have expired or have been terminated or you cease use of the Services, whichever is later (the “Term”). Sections 3, 4, 6.1, 6.2, 7, 8, 9, 12, and 14 through 15 shall survive the termination of these Terms for any reason.

7. FEES AND PAYMENT.

7.1. Pricing. Biteable will provide the Subscription Services to you at Biteable’s then-current subscription rates available at biteable.com/pricing.

7.2. Payment Terms. In order to receive Subscription Services, you must have a valid, accepted payment method as indicated during registration (“Payment Method”). In consideration of the rights granted to you hereunder and by starting your Subscription Services, you are expressly agreeing that Biteable is authorized to charge you the applicable subscription fee in effect at the time you subscribe to the Services to the Payment Method you provide during registration (or to a different Payment Method if you change your account information), as well as any charges associated with that Payment Method. If you purchase a Monthly Subscription, your Payment Method will be charged the initial Monthly Subscription fee and your Payment Method will be charged for the applicable Monthly Subscription fee on a monthly basis thereafter. If you purchase an Annual Subscription, your Payment Method will be charged the total fees for the initial Annual Subscription Period, and your Payment Method will be charged for the Annual Subscription fee on the first day of each renewal term, if any. SUBSCRIPTION FEES AND OTHER SERVICE PAYMENTS ARE NONREFUNDABLE. NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR PARTIAL-MONTH OR PARTIAL ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIODS WILL BE GIVEN.

7.3. Overdue Charges. In the event that your Payment Method expires or fails for any reason, Biteable will make several attempts to obtain valid authorization (for authorization failures) or notify you to update your Payment Method (for card validation failures). If your Payment Method does not work after the fourth attempt, or you do not update your Payment Method information or cancel your subscription within 10 days of receipt of written notice, Biteable will cancel your subscription and your account will be suspended. Without limiting our rights or remedies, any overdue amounts shall accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by relevant laws, whichever is lower.

7.4. Taxes. Fees for the Services do not include any sales, use, or value added taxes; levies; duties; or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including without limitation value-added, sales, use, or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). You agree to pay and be responsible for all Taxes associated with your purchase and use of Subscription Services hereunder.

14.1. Biteable, Ltd. For any dispute with Biteable, Ltd., you agree to first contact us at legal@biteable.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. If we are unable to resolve a dispute with you, then the dispute must be submitted to mediation administered by the Australian Disputes Centre in accordance with the Australian Disputes Centre Guidelines that are in effect at the time the matter is referred to the Australian Disputes Centre. The mediation will be conducted in Tasmania, Australia, unless you and Biteable, Ltd. agree otherwise. Each party is permitted to be legally represented at its own cost, and the costs of the mediation will be met equally between the parties. Nothing in this section will prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriate or violation of that party’s data privacy, intellectual property, or other proprietary rights.

The place of the arbitration shall be Delaware, unless otherwise agreed to by you and Biteable, LLC.

All claims must be brought in an individual capacity, before a single arbitrator, and not as a party of any class or representative proceeding.
