LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE IN ANY MANNER FOR ANY USER-GENERATED CONTENT. ALTHOUGH WE INCLUDE STRICT PROVISIONS REGARDING USER-GENERATED CONTENT IN THESE TERMS OF USE, WE DO NOT CONTROL AND ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT USERS POST USING THIS SITE AND ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OFFENSIVE, INAPPROPRIATE, OBSCENE, UNLAWFUL, INFRINGING OR OTHERWISE OBJECTIONABLE OR ILLEGAL USER-GENERATED CONTENT YOU MAY ENCOUNTER IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THIS SITE.

This Site gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from country to country. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain kinds of limitations or exclusions of liability, so the limitations and exclusions set out in these Terms of Use may not apply to you. Other jurisdictions allow limitations and exclusions subject to certain conditions. In such a case the limitations and exclusions set out in these Terms of Use shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such applicable jurisdictions. Your statutory rights as a consumer, if any, are not affected by these provisions, and we do not seek to exclude or limit liability for fraudulent misrepresentation.
Links to Third-Party Websites
This Site may provide links to other websites operated by third parties. Because we have no control over third-party websites, we are not responsible for the availability of those websites and do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, services, products, or other materials on or available from such websites. Napkin Labs shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any content, advertising, services, products, or other materials on or available from such websites.

You agree that we shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any such modification, editing, deletion, suspension or discontinuance of this Site.
Waiver
Our failure at any time to require performance of any provision of these Terms of Use or to exercise any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of such provision or such right. All waivers must be in writing. Unless the written waiver contains an express statement to the contrary, no waiver by Napkin Labs of any breach of any provision of these Terms of Use or of any right provided for herein will be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provision, a waiver of the provision itself, or a waiver of any right under these Terms of Use.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, such provision will be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent allowed by law and the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Venue
These Terms of Use will be governed under the laws of the State of Colorado without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. All actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use will be venued exclusively in state or federal court in Denver County, Colorado.

However, we retain the right to bring legal proceedings in any jurisdiction where we believe that infringement of these Terms of Use is taking place or originating.

We reserve the right to defend any such claim, and you agree to provide us with such reasonable cooperation and information as we may request.
These Terms of Use May Change
We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms of Use at any time, without prior notice, by posting the revised version of these Terms of Use behind the link marked “Terms of Use” at the bottom of each page of this Site.

In such cases, you may be asked to expressly consent to the special terms, for example, by checking a box or clicking on a button marked “I agree.” This type of agreement is known as a “click-through” agreement.

Types of Information We Collect
Information You Volunteer. Napkin Labs collects the Personal Information you knowingly and voluntarily provide when you use this Site. For example, we collect the Personal Information you submit when you contact us with questions, sign up to receive a newsletter or apply for a job at Napkin Labs.
Information Sent to Us by Your Web Browser. We collect information that is sent to us automatically by your Web browser. This information typically includes your IP address, the identity of your Internet service provider, the name and version of your operating system, the name and version of your browser, the date and time of your visit, and the pages you visit. Please check your browser if you want to learn what information your browser sends or how to change your settings.
More About IP Addresses. An “IP address” is a unique number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you connect to the Internet. It is used to identify your computer’s “location” in cyberspace, so that the information you request can be delivered to you. IP addresses do not include your name, email address, or other information that identifies you personally, but in some cases, they can be used to identify you. For example, if you have registered with this Site, we may link your IP address to account information that identifies you personally. We may also provide your IP address to our third-party service providers who can use it to identify your state and zip code. In addition, if we suspect inappropriate or criminal activity or a threat to the security of this Site or its users, we may share our server logs—which contain users’ IP addresses—with the appropriate investigative authorities, who could use that information to trace and identify individuals.
Cookies and Similar Technologies. We use “cookies” and other Web technologies to collect information and support certain features of this Site. For example, we may use these technologies to:
collect information about the ways visitors use this Site—which pages they visit, which links they use, and how long they stay on each page;
support the features and functionality of this Site—for example, to save you the trouble of re-entering information already in our database or to prompt the settings you established on previous visits; and
personalize your experience when you use this Site.
Generally, the information we collect using these Web technologies does not identify you personally. If, however, you have created a user identity, for example, by registering on this Site, we may link the information we collect using these Web technologies to other information that identifies you personally.
Generally, if you do not wish to receive cookies, you may be able to set your computer or mobile browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer or mobile device. Although you are not required to accept cookies when you visit this Site, you may be unable to use all of the functionality of this Site if your browser rejects our cookies.
How We Use Personal Information Collected Through This Site
Generally, we use the Personal Information we collect through this Site
to provide the information, products and services you request;
to better understand your needs and interests;
to provide you with effective customer service;
to improve the content, functionality and usability of this Site;
to contact you with information and notices related to your use of this Site;
to contact you with special offers and other information we believe will be of interest to you (in accordance with any privacy preferences you have expressed to us);
to improve our products and services;

Please see below for information about the choices you have about the ways we use your Personal Information.
Use of Aggregated Information
We may use information gathered through this Site to create a compiled, aggregate view of its audience and visitor’s usage patterns. We use aggregated information to operate this Site and to better understand our audience as we develop new products and services. We may also share aggregated information with our third-party service providers. Aggregate information is not personally identifiable.
Your Choices
In General. We respect your right to make choices about the ways we collect, use, and disclose your Personal Information. Discussed above are choices you have about delivery of cookies through this Site. In addition, we may ask you to indicate certain choices at the time we collect your Personal Information. For example, at the time you give us your contact information, we may provide to you an opportunity to choose (via “opt out” or “opt in”) whether you receive certain communications from us and/or our business partners. We will also include an “unsubscribe” link in each electronic newsletter or promotional email we send to you.
Previously Expressed Preferences. You may change previously expressed preferences regarding how we use your Personal Information. If you have registered with this Site, you may be able to change certain privacy preferences through your account settings. Otherwise, if at any time you wish to be taken off our mailing lists, please contact us using the information provided above. Once we have the information we need, we will remove you from our mailing lists as you have requested. Please give us a reasonable amount of time to honor your request.
How to Access, Update or Correct Your Personal Information
If you have registered with this Site, you may be able to access, update, or correct your Personal Information through your account settings. Otherwise, you may need our help. If you wish to access, update, or correct your Personal Information, please contact us using the information provided above. We will respond to you within a reasonable time and, in any case, within the time limits established by applicable law. We may ask you for additional information to verify your identity. In most cases, we will provide access and correct or delete any inaccurate information you discover. In some cases, however, we may limit or deny your request if the law permits or requires us to do so or if we are unable to verify your identify.
Steps We Take to Safeguard your Personal Information
We maintain reasonable administrative, physical, and technological measures to protect the confidentiality and security of Personal Information you submit on or through this Site. Unfortunately, no website, server or database is completely secure or “hacker proof.” We therefore cannot guarantee that your Personal Information will not be disclosed, misused or lost by accident or by the unauthorized acts of others.
How We Share Your Personal Information With Others
Third-Party Vendors. We may share Personal Information collected through this Site with third-party vendors who act for or on behalf of Napkin Labs. For example, we may share Personal Information with companies that provide online recruiting services and Web hosting services. These third-party vendors may need information about you to perform their functions.
User-Generated Content. The User-Generated Content you submit on or through this Site is available to others who visit this Site. Any Personal Information contained in User-Generated Content you submit can be read, collected, or used by others, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. In addition, we may use User-Generated Content you submit on or through this Site for advertising campaigns and other promotions. We may or may not use your name in connection with such use, and we may or may not seek your consent before using the content for such purposes. Therefore, you should have no expectation of privacy with respect to User-Generated Content you submit on or through this Site. You should not submit any content you do not wish to make available to the general public, and you must take special care to make sure your submissions comply with our Terms of Use . In particular, your submissions must not violate the privacy or other rights of others.
Business Negotiations. We may contemplate, for strategic or other reasons, selling, buying, merging, or otherwise reorganizing one or more of our businesses. In negotiating with a third party about entering into such an arrangement, we may need to disclose your Personal Information. In such cases, we will take reasonable measures to protect the Personal Information we disclose, for example, by requiring a prospective purchaser to sign a non-disclosure agreement limiting the use and protecting the confidentiality of the Personal Information.
Business Transfers. Your Personal Information may be transferred to a successor organization if, for example, we transfer the ownership or operation of this Site to another organization or if we merge with another organization. If such a transfer occurs, the successor organization’s use of your Personal Information will still be subject to this Policy and the privacy preferences you have expressed to us.
Compliance with Laws and Protection of Our Rights and the Rights of Others. We may disclose your Personal Information when we, in good faith, believe disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law, a court order, or a subpoena. We may also disclose your Personal Information to prevent or investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft; to protect the security of this Site; to enforce or apply our online Terms of Use or other agreements; or to protect our own rights or property or the rights, property or safety of our users or others.
As Described in a Privacy Notice. We reserve the right to disclose your Personal Information as described in any Privacy Notice posted on the web page where you provide that information. By providing your Personal Information on that web page you will be consenting to the disclosure of your Personal Information as described in that Privacy Notice.

Your continued use of this Site after we have posted the revised Policy constitutes your agreement to be bound by the revised Policy.

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AS IT HAS IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING USER’S LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS. THESE INCLUDE VARIOUS LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS, AND A DISPUTE RESOLUTION CLAUSE THAT GOVERNS HOW DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED.

BY CLICKING “I AGREE” (BELOW) AND PRESSING THE SUBMIT BUTTON (BELOW) USER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS READ, UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (“Agreement”).
Napkin Labs reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or delete portions of this Agreement at any time without further notice, provided, that those changes will only have prospective effect unless they are solely to: (i) reasonably and in good faith clarify an ambiguous term; (ii) reasonably and in good faith cause the terms of this Agreement to be enforceable according to its intent; or (iii) comply with a law, rule, regulation, court or arbitrator order, or code. If Napkin Labs makes any changes, Napkin Labs will post the changes to this Agreement on the System and will indicate the date these terms were last revised. User’s continued use of the System after any such changes constitutes User’s acceptance of the amended Agreement. If User does not agree to abide by this or any future or amended Agreement, User should not use or access (or continue to use or access) the System. It is User’s responsibility to regularly check the System to determine if there have been changes to this Agreement and to review such changes.
Any registration by, use of, or access to the System by anyone under 18 is forbidden. By using the System, User represents and warrants that User is 18 or older, and that this Agreement is binding on User.
In some cases the Customer will interact directly with User or make payment directly to User, or have other reasons to enter into agreements directly with User. If requested by the Customer, User will enter into reasonable agreements which are substantially consistent with the terms of this Agreement or are otherwise fair and reasonable. If User fails to do so, User may not be entitled to receive payment for User’s Contributions. Further, the Customer may require User to agree to additional terms, conditions or rules regarding User’s participation in a Project, including Projects that may include payments and User is responsible for complying with all such terms, conditions and rules. User further acknowledges and agrees that Projects are in no way sponsored, endorsed, or administrated by or associated with the Social Media Site and that when User provides information in connection with a Project, it is providing such information to Napkin Labs and its applicable Customer (as further described in Section 12 below) and not the Social Media Site.
1. System Access.
User will login into the System using User’s Social Media Site login information. User agrees that User is solely responsible for ensuring that (a) User does not share User’s login information with third parties; (b) User understands the need and take appropriate measures to keep all such information secret and confidential; and (c) User complies with all applicable Social Media Site terms, conditions and policies. Napkin Labs will have the right to assume that any individual accessing or using the System using User’s Social Media Site login information is associated with User and will grant access to User’s information and other capabilities accordingly. User will be entirely responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone using User’s Social Media Site login information as though such acts and omissions were the acts and omissions of User, whether or not such acts or omissions or the use of User’s Social Media Site login information were authorized by User. User will notify Napkin Labs immediately of any known or suspected unauthorized use of the login information registered to User or any other known or suspected breach of security.
Napkin Labs hereby grants to User the limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access and use the System via the internet and the Social Media Site solely to participate in Projects and submit Contributions, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Except as explicitly provided herein, Napkin Labs reserves and retains all title and other rights to the System, including all intellectual property and proprietary rights thereto and including all rights of third parties which may be accessed or available on the System.
2. Restrictions on Use of System
User will not use the System for any purpose other than as expressly permitted in this Agreement. User will not misuse the System, or take other inappropriate actions whether or not concerning the System, including (but not limited to) by: (i) using robots or transmitting viruses; (ii) posting any item that violates the rights of others; (iii) making misstatements about User’s identity or affiliations; (iv) allowing others to use the System; (v) contacting Customers directly for any reason whether or not through the medium of the System unless the Project posting states User may do so; (vi) disclosing confidential information of a Customer or other person or the nature of Projects; (vii) using the System, or contact information User learns from the System, for User’s own advertising or spamming; (viii) posting any information or making any statements unrelated to the Project; (ix) contacting other users of the System to collaborate on a development or Project outside the System or to form a competing business whether or not for profit; (x) removing anything from the System or modifying it; (xi) taking any action that is harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable; (xii) modifying, adapting, reverse engineering, decompiling or attempting to discover the source code of the System (except to the extent that such a restriction would be a breach of applicable law); (xiii) interfering with or disrupting the System or servers or networks connected to the System, or disobeying any requirements, procedures, policies or regulations of networks connected to the System; (xiv) attempting to gain access to any other user’s account or password; (xv) “stalking”, abusing or attempting to abuse, or otherwise harassing another user; or (xvi) dealing with a Customer to “end run” Napkin Labs and cause Napkin Labs not to be fully involved with the Project or future Projects a Customer may otherwise engage Napkin Labs to perform. Napkin Labs may use its subjective judgment as to any of the foregoing, and notwithstanding the foregoing specific list, any license Napkin Labs grants User under this Agreement, or other rights under this Agreement are revocable at any time by Napkin Labs without notice and with or without cause. A revocation of that license or those rights does not terminate any (i) transfer by User of title or other rights to any Contribution, or (ii) obligation by User to take future actions with respect to Contributions described in this Agreement.
3. Contributions.
Regardless of whether User receives or will receive any payment for any Contributions, whenever User submits a Contribution to the System in connection with a Project, User hereby irrevocably and perpetually assigns to Napkin Labs or Customer (as Napkin Labs and Customer agree) without further action by User, and agrees to deliver such additional assignments or other instruments of transfer as may be reasonably requested by Napkin Labs or Customer, all of User’s right, title and interest in and to the Contribution (and any related concepts, ideas, improvements and/or modifications thereto) including without limitation, all related intellectual property and proprietary rights (including “moral rights”) and the right to sue and settle any past, present and future infringement of any such rights.
If for any reason such assignment is not fully effective (by law or otherwise), User hereby grants to Napkin Labs or Customer (as Napkin Labs and Customer agree) a royalty-free, worldwide, fully paid-up, transferrable, sublicensable, divisible, perpetual, irrevocable, exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, arrange, rearrange, display, transmit, market, sell, offer for sale, manufacture, import, prepare derivative works based on, distribute throughout the world (in any medium now known or hereafter created), publicize, and otherwise utilize or exploit in any fashion User’s Contributions including any and all intellectual property and proprietary rights pertaining thereto. To the extent such Contribution or related intellectual property rights cannot be assigned or licensed, by law or otherwise, User hereby waives enforcement of such rights against Napkin Labs and the Customer, and their respective successors, assigns and licensees. User further agrees that User will not make any claims against Napkin Labs or Customer or any third party who is assigned or licensed rights in such Contribution by Napkin Labs or Customer, based on any allegations that any activities by Napkin Labs or Customer or such third party infringe User’s (or anyone else’s) rights in the Contribution. User further represents, warrants and covenants that in connection with any such assignment User reserves no (and are unaware of any other party having any) rights whatsoever with respect to such Contributions and related intellectual property rights and Napkin Labs or Customer (as Napkin Labs and Customer agree) will have the right to enforce all intellectual property rights in the Contribution against User and all other persons with respect to any subsequent use by User of such Contribution. User will not claim that the amount of User’s payment, if any, was less than a fair amount or that it was not adequate.
User will assist Napkin Labs or Customer (as Napkin Labs and Customer agree) in perfecting, maintaining, enforcing and defending its rights in Contributions it obtains from User, including without limitation, signing patent applications, patent assignments, copyright registrations, giving testimony and the like. If Napkin Labs or Customer requests User to do these things and it will take more than two hours, the company making the request will pay User its “market rate” (but not more than $50.00 per hour) for User’s reasonable time spent on such activities.
User hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Napkin Labs or Customer (as Napkin Labs and Customer agree), and its respective officers and agents, as User’s agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and on User’s behalf and instead of User, to execute and file any documents, applications or related findings and to do all other lawfully permitted acts in furtherance of the purposes set forth above in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the perfection of assignment and the prosecution and issuance of patents, patent applications, copyright applications and registrations, trademark applications and registrations, or other rights in connection with such Contributions and improvements thereto with the same legal force and effect as if executed by User.
Napkin Labs or Customer (as Napkin Labs and Customer agree) has the right to have the provisions of this Section specifically enforced by either Napkin Labs or Customer (as Napkin Labs and Customer agree) or any third party who is assigned or licensed rights in such Contributions by Napkin Labs or Customer (as Napkin Labs and Customer agree), and any such third party is intended to be a third party beneficiary of this provision.
User further understands and agrees that: (i) User is solely responsible for understanding all copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property or other laws that may apply to User’s Contribution; (ii) User is solely responsible for, and Napkin Labs will have no liability in connection with, the legal consequences of any actions or failures to act by User while using the System, including without limitation any legal consequences relating to User’s or any other person’s intellectual property rights or proprietary information; (iii) User represents and warrants that User’s Contribution does not infringe on any rights of others including intellectual property and proprietary rights and was not misappropriated from or assigned to another person; and (iv) User has the right to transfer the title to the Contribution and related intellectual property and proprietary rights provided for herein.
User agrees that User’s creation or submission of any Contribution is not in any way based upon any expectation of any compensation or any specific level of compensation from Napkin Labs, Customers, or any other users.
Napkin Labs and Customers have no obligation to use a Contribution, continue any Project, commercialize any Contribution, operate the System in a particular fashion, allow a posting on the System, continue its business, or return any Contributions. Napkin Labs may sell or license any Contribution to any other person (a “person” includes natural individuals, corporations, trusts, governmental bodies, and other enterprises, entities, agencies, or associations), or reuse it for another reason or Project. In addition, Napkin Labs may take the Contributions and distill, refine or otherwise deal with them before delivering them to the Customer.
4. Rights of Third Parties.
User acknowledges that: (i) by using the System User may have access to Contributions provided by other users and possibly information provided by Napkin Labs, a Customer, or others, and (ii) information on the System (other than User’s Contributions) may be provided under license by others. User acknowledges that, unless otherwise agreed in writing, User has no rights to any such items and User accepts full responsibility and liability for User’s use of any such materials, including any use in violation of any rights of others. Napkin Labs and the Customer are not responsible or liable in any manner for any Contribution posted on the System.
Napkin Labs respects the intellectual property rights of others and Napkin Labs prohibits users of the System from uploading, posting or otherwise transmitting to the System any materials that violate another party’s intellectual property rights or that constitutes another person’s proprietary information (and User represents, warrants and covenants that User will not do so). User will immediately notify Napkin Labs if User believes another person who is posting Contributions on the System is infringing another person’s intellectual property rights or has misappropriated a Contribution from another person.
5. Confidentiality.
Napkin Labs and its Customers will be providing information to User, on the understanding that such information will remain confidential. “Confidential Information” means any and all technical or business data, information or items (including third party data, information or items) in whatever form or medium, provided by Napkin Labs or its Customers to User or posted on the System by others (including without limitation, Contributions posted by other users) regardless of whether such data, information or items are marked or identified as “Confidential”.
User will: (1) treat as confidential, and preserve the confidentiality of, all Confidential Information; (2) use the Confidential Information solely for generating Contributions solely to be posted on the System; (3) not copy such Confidential Information unless specifically authorized by Napkin Labs; (4) promptly return and/or destroy all Confidential Information at Napkin Labs’s request; and (5) immediately notify Napkin Labs upon discovery of any loss or unauthorized disclosure of any Confidential Information and use all reasonable efforts to retrieve such Confidential Information.
The confidentiality obligations imposed by this Agreement will not apply to any information that: (1) was already in User’s possession as shown by documentation; (2) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of User; (3) is obtained by User from a third person without breach by such third person of an obligation of confidence with respect to the Confidential Information disclosed; or (4) information that is required to be disclosed pursuant to a valid judicial or administrative order, provided that User: (i) provides timely written notice of such order to Napkin Labs and reasonably cooperates with any efforts by Napkin Labs to contest or limit the scope of such order; and (ii) uses all reasonable efforts to limit the disclosure of such Confidential Information and seeks a protective order or an equivalent to protect the disclosure of such Confidential Information. Information will not be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions merely because it is: embraced by more general information in the public domain or in the possession of the party receiving such information; or a combination of individual items of information that could be pieced together to reconstruct such combination from non-Confidential Information.
6. Payments.
As may be further described in a Project or by Napkin Labs or a Customer, certain Projects may provide for fees, rewards or other payments for certain Contributions. Accordingly, User may be entitled to receive such fees, rewards or other payments for User’s participation in a Project and User’s submission of Contributions; provided, however, that (i) all such fees, rewards and other payments will be subject to any additional terms, conditions, policies and rules as may be established by Napkin Labs or a Customer regarding the applicable Project including with respect to amounts, conditions and timing for any such payments; and (ii) all such payments will be paid by Customer and if User is entitled to any such payment, User will look solely to Customer for such payments and User hereby waives any and all claims against Napkin Labs for any such payments. Napkin Labs recommends that User read all information regarding a Project and any payment(s) that may be available in connection with such Project before submitting Contributions as such information is hereby incorporated into this Agreement and binding upon User.
User is responsible for all taxes due on any payments made to User in connection with User’s participation on the System or any Project. Napkin Labs and Customer will be under no obligation to make any payments to User unless User has properly submitted any required information regarding taxes or other payment information. User agrees that User is not an employee of Napkin Labs or Customer and Napkin Labs and Customer do not have to pay or reserve any withholding taxes, FICA, FUTA, workers compensation fund, or other payments which it may have to make if User were an employee. User is not entitled to any Napkin Labs or Customer benefits of any type. User is not a partner or joint venturer with Napkin Labs or Customer. If Napkin Labs or Customer believes it has an obligation to make tax, trust fund or similar payments to a governmental body in respect of payments to User, including because User is not a U.S. resident, it may do so and deduct the amount from the amount paid to User. Napkin Labs or Customer expects to report the payments to User to tax authorities.
7. Conflicts of Interest
User acknowledges and agrees that Customer may post Projects on its or its clients’ behalf and that Customer and such clients do not want to inadvertently disclose proprietary information to such Customer’s or clients’ competitors. Accordingly, User represents and warrants that User is not employed, affiliated, contracted or otherwise engaged with any entity or organization that could reasonably be construed to be a competitor of Customer or its clients. In addition, Customer may specify, with respect to certain Projects, that individuals who are affiliated with certain entities or organizations are not eligible to participate in such Projects. Accordingly, User also represents and warrants that User is not employed, affiliated, contracted or otherwise engaged with any such entity or organization.
If User is employed, affiliated, contracted or otherwise engaged with any such entity or organization, User acknowledges and agrees that User will not be entitled to participate in that Project and User will not proceed with such participation. If User becomes employed, affiliated, contracted or otherwise engaged with any such entity or organization, User will promptly notify Napkin Labs of such and Napkin Labs will be entitled to (i) terminate User’s participation in that Project, and (ii) revoke User’s access privileges for that Project.
8. Disputes Between Users.
User hereby releases Napkin Labs (and Napkin Labs’ shareholders, affiliates, directors, officers, subsidiaries, employees, owners and agents), and Customer, from all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with any dispute User has or claims to have with one or more other users of the System or a Customer; including, without limitation, any claim that another user infringes upon User’s intellectual property rights or misappropriated User’s Contributions. User further understands and agrees that: (i) Napkin Labs will have the right but not the obligation to resolve disputes between users of the System, and Napkin Labs’ resolution of any particular dispute does not create an obligation to resolve any other dispute; (ii) Napkin Labs’ resolution of such disputes will be final and non-appealable with respect to the System, rights regarding Contributions, or the allocation of any payments due to User, but will have no other bearing on disputes between users; and (iii) User hereby releases Napkin Labs (and Napkin Labs’ shareholders, affiliates, directors, officers, subsidiaries, employees, owners and agents) from all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with Napkin Labs’ resolution of disputes relating to the System.
For purposes of all waivers of claims in this Agreement, User has read and specifically waives Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which provides as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor 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.”
Napkin Labs is not responsible for Customer use of any Contributions and Napkin Labs does not screen or otherwise assure that a Customer’s request for a Project does not violate any applicable laws or rights of another person.
Napkin Labs generally does not regulate communications between users or users’ interactions with the System. As a result, Napkin Labs has very little control, if any, over the quality, safety, morality, legality, truthfulness or accuracy of Contributions provided by users. Nonetheless, Napkin Labs reserves the right to monitor and/or limit anything posted by a User to the System, including Contributions.
9. All Goods and Services are Provided by Napkins Labs “as is” Without Express or Implied Warranties.
NAPKIN LABS PROVIDES THE SYSTEM, USER’S ACCOUNT AND ALL RELATED GOODS AND SERVICES STRICTLY ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, PROVIDED AND ACCEPTED AT USER’S OWN RISK, AND NAPKIN LABS HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF TITLE, NONINFRINGEMENT, BY SAMPLE, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
Without limiting the foregoing, Napkin Labs does not ensure continuous, error-free, secure or virus-free operation of the System or User’s account, and User understands that User is not entitled to make any claim based on Napkin Labs’ failure to provide any of the foregoing.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, and to that extent, the foregoing disclaimer may not apply to User.
10. Napkin Labs’ Liability To User Is Expressly Limited, To The Extent Allowable Under Applicable Law.
IN NO EVENT WILL NAPKIN LABS OR ANY OF ITS SHAREHOLDERS, AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, SUBSIDIARIES, EMPLOYEES, OWNERS, LENDERS, CUSTOMERS, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO USER OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, LOST PROFITS, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, ARISING (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE) OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SYSTEM (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ITS MODIFICATION OR TERMINATION), USER’S ACCOUNT (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ITS TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION) OR THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT NAPKIN LABS MAY HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT ANY SUCH DAMAGES MIGHT OR COULD OCCUR AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY. IN ADDITION, IN NO EVENT WILL NAPKIN LABS’ CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO USER FOR DIRECT DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE EXCEED ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS (U.S. $1,000).
Napkin Labs is not liable to User if any information provided by others on the System (i) is not accurate or complete, (ii) is illegally provided, or (iii) infringes rights of others.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the foregoing limitations of liability, so to the extent that any such limitation is impermissible, such limitation may not apply to User.
11. Indemnification by User.
User hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Napkin Labs, its shareholders, affiliates, directors, officers, subsidiaries, employees, agents, owners, customers (including Customer), suppliers, licensees, distributors, successors and assigns, and other users, from all damages, liabilities, claims and expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs, arising from any breach of this Agreement by User, from User’s use of the System, and any claims by third parties that User’s activity on or related to the System or Contributions infringes upon, violates or misappropriates any of their intellectual property rights or discloses their proprietary information.
12. Privacy Policy.
The personal information User provides to Napkin Labs during registration or in response to any requests for information on the System, including forms and requests relating to profile creation and information necessary for User to receive payments, if any, is used for Napkin Labs’ internal purposes and for providing the System and related services to User and Customers only. Further, User may have the opportunity to choose to register, log-on, or enhance User’s profile on the System through User’s account with the Social Media Site. By doing this, User is asking the Social Media Site to send Napkin Labs registration information from User’s account with that service. Napkin Labs treats that information as it does any other information User gives to Napkin Labs when User registers, logs-on, or enhances User’s profile.
Among other things, and without limitation, Napkin Labs may provide its Customers the name, contact and other demographic information of users of the System, including User. Napkin Labs also uses the information it collects to learn what users like and to improve the System, including by aggregating such information for Napkin Labs’ research purposes. Napkin Labs will not give any of User’s personal information to any third party without User’s express approval except: as reasonably necessary to fulfill User’s service request, to third-party fulfillment houses, customer support, the Customer, billing and credit verification services, and the like; to comply with tax and other applicable laws including money laundering or anti-terrorism laws; as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement or as otherwise authorized by User; to law enforcement or other appropriate third parties in connection with criminal investigations and other investigations of fraud; or as otherwise necessary to protect Napkin Labs or the Customer, their respective agents and other users of the System. Napkin Labs does not guarantee the security of any of User’s private transmissions against unauthorized or unlawful interception or access by third parties. Napkin Labs can (and User authorizes Napkin Labs to) disclose any information about User to private entities, law enforcement agencies or government officials, as Napkin Labs, in its sole discretion, believes necessary or appropriate to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, or as otherwise required by law. User agrees that Napkin Labs may communicate with User via email and any similar technology for any purpose relating to the System. User acknowledges and agrees that Napkin Labs, in its sole discretion, may track, record, observe or follow any and all of User’s interactions within the System. Napkin Labs may share general, demographic, or aggregated information with third parties about its users and their Contributions and System usage, but that information will not include or be linked to any personal identifiable information without User’s consent (and User hereby consents to it being provided to the Customer for a Project).
13. Dispute Resolution; Governing Law; Venue and Jurisdiction.
The laws of the state of Colorado and United States Federal law govern this Agreement, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws that would result in application of another law. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to this Agreement. This Agreement has been written in the English language, and the parties agree that the English version will govern. User agrees that any action arising out of or related to this Agreement, Contributions or the System will be submitted to arbitration in Boulder or Denver, Colorado. Arbitration under this Agreement will be conducted under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator will apply the substantive law of the state of Colorado and United States Federal law. The arbitrator’s award will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction, and may be appealed to a court only as permitted by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et. seq.).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Napkin Labs may seek preliminary or temporary injunctive relief (which will remain in effect until the entering into of a binding, non-appealable, enforceable arbitration award as provided immediately above) to enforce the terms of this Agreement or enforce its intellectual property rights, in any state or federal court in the state of Colorado, or such other venue as Napkin Labs may select where User has significant contacts or resides, and User consents to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
A Customer on a Project may elect to have any dispute between the Customer and User governed by the terms of this Section.
14. General Provisions.
The System is controlled and operated by Napkin Labs from its offices within the United States of America. Napkin Labs makes no representation that any aspect of the System is appropriate or available for use in jurisdictions outside of the United States. Those who choose to access the System from other locations are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. User will comply with all export and import laws and restrictions and regulations of any United States or foreign agency or authority relating to the System and its use. Napkin Labs’ failure to act with respect to a breach by User or others does not waive Napkin Labs’ right to act with respect to that breach or subsequent or similar breaches. No consent or waiver by Napkin Labs under this Agreement will be effective unless delivered in a writing signed (which may include email signature) by an officer of Napkin Labs. All or any of Napkin Labs’ rights and obligations under this Agreement may be assigned by it, including, but not limited, to a subsequent owner or operator of the System in a merger, acquisition or sale of any or all of Napkin Labs’ assets. Napkin Labs may assign any or all of its rights and obligations to one or more persons. User will not assign or transfer this Agreement or any or all of User’s rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Napkin Labs, and any attempt to do so is void. No default, delay or failure to perform on the part of Napkin Labs will be considered a breach of this Agreement if such default, delay or failure to perform is shown to be due to causes beyond the reasonable control of Napkin Labs.
Except as explicitly provided in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement will be construed as creating a relationship between the parties of partners, joint venturers, or agents, and neither party has the power to bind the other to any contract or commitment.
If any part of this Agreement is for any reason declared invalid or unenforceable, such decision will not affect the validity of any remaining portion of the Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect. In such an event, the parties will promptly substitute for the invalid provision a valid and enforceable provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision.
Napkin Labs may assign to a Customer a right to enforce some or all of Napkin Labs’ rights against User for breaches of this Agreement. Among other things this means a Customer can directly sue User for breaching the obligations to maintain the confidentiality of its information. A Customer may elect to enforce these rights in an arbitration conducted pursuant to the arbitration provisions of this Agreement or enforce its rights in a court.
This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between User and Napkin Labs with respect to the subject matter hereof. The section headings used herein, including descriptive headings, are for convenience only and will not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. There are no third party beneficiaries of this Agreement, except that with the consent of Napkin Labs the Customer is entitled to the benefit of the provisions herein specifically naming the Customer. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, this Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, or terminated without the consent of the Customer.
This Agreement will continue until terminated by either User or Napkin Labs upon written notice, which may include notice by email or by providing notice as provided in the System. The following sections survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement: 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 14.
If User fails to bring any claim for breach of this Agreement by Napkin Labs within one year of the alleged breach, User agrees that such claim may not be brought.
Napkin Labs has the right, but not the obligation, to remove any Contributions, data, or other information (including User’s Contributions) in whole or in part at any time for any reason or no reason, with or without notice and without any liability of any kind.
Napkin Labs reserves the right to interrupt the operation of the System with or without prior notice for any reason or no reason. Napkin Labs will not be liable for any interruption of the System, delay or failure to perform. Napkin Labs has the right at any time for any reason or no reason to change and/or eliminate all or any part of the System or a Project, as it sees fit in its sole discretion.
Napkin Labs may give notice to User by means of a general notice on the System, by email to User’s email address in our records, or by written communication sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, or overnight courier to User’s address on record. User will email all notices given by User to Napkin Labs at legalnotice@napkinlabs.com.
User understands and agrees that by creating a profile on the System and any successor system that User is providing an electronic signature and entering into a legally binding agreement, the equivalent of a signed, written contract, the terms and conditions of which are set forth above.
