USING THIS WEBSITE AND THE WEBSITE’S SERVICES.

We appreciate You visiting this Website and allow You to do just that – stop by and leisurely check it out without even registering with Us!

However, in order to access certain password-restricted areas of this Website and to use certain Services and Materials offered on and through the Platform (such as storing or viewing Content (defined below)), You must successfully register an account with Us and may be required to download the Mobile App.

ACCOUNTS; PASSWORD RESTRICTED AREAS OF THE PLATFORM.

In order to use the Platform, you must register for one of the following types of accounts, which will depend on the Services you choose to obtain from the Platform. You may register for either (1) an account as an account creator where you will be required to download and install the Mobile App (such account holder, a “Creator”), or (2) a Website-only account that does not require you to download the Mobile App (such account holder, a “Viewer”). If you have registered for an account as a Creator, You will be able to upload, organize and store Content in Your account, and share Your Content. If you register for an account as a Viewer, You will only be able to view Content that has been shared by the Creator of the account, and You will not be able to organize or post Content.

If You want to register for a Creator account with Us, You must download the Mobile App and register for an account with Us by submitting the following information through the account registration page on the Mobile App:

A working email address;

First and last name;

Password; and

Mobile telephone number.

You may also provide additional, optional information so that We can provide You a more customized experience when using this Platform – but, We will leave that decision with You. As a Creator, You may also provide the mobile telephone number of an individual, such as a partner or other family member, whom you would like to invite to be a joint user on Your account (a “Joint Account User”), enabling such Joint Account User to upload their photos and videos to Your account.

If You are a Joint Account User who has accepted a Creator’s invitation to be a joint user on such Creator’s account, You must download the Mobile App and register for an account with Us by submitting the following information through the account registration page on the Mobile App:

A working email address;

First and last name;

Password; and

Mobile telephone number.

If You want to register for a Viewer account with Us, You must register for an account with us by submitting the following information through the account registration page on the Website:

A working email address;

First and last name; and

Password.

For all types of accounts, once You submit the required registration information, We alone will determine whether or not to approve Your proposed account. For so long as You use the account, You agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information when you access your account or use the Platform. You may update your account information by logging into Your account and making relevant changes directly, or contacting Us using the below contact information and We can make the changes for You. And, if You forget Your password – no worries as We will happily send a password update to Your provided email address.

You are responsible for complying with these Terms when You access this Platform, whether directly or through any account that You may setup through or on this Platform. Because it is Your account, it is Your job to obtain and maintain all equipment and services needed for access to and use of the Platform as well as paying related charges. It is also Your responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of Your password(s), including any password of a third-party site that We may allow You to use to access the Platform. Should You believe Your password or security for the Platform has been breached in any way, You must immediately notify Us.

PAYMENTS; AUTO-RENEWAL TERMS; CANCELLATION.

Payment

We provide accounts, either as a Creator or Viewer, at no cost to You. We may offer certain additional features, services, programs and/or offerings for a fee (each, a “Paid-Offering”). If you purchase any Paid-Offerings, either on a one-time or on a recurrent basis, You agree to pay all applicable fees related to Your use of this Platform and Our Services which are described fully on the applicable pages of the Platform for the applicable Paid-Offering. Company reserves the right to change prices for Paid-Offerings at any time, and does not provide price protection or refunds in the event of promotions or price decreases. We may suspend or terminate Your account and/or access to Our Services and the Platform if Your payment is late and/or Your offered payment method (e.g., credit card or PayPal account) cannot be processed. By providing a payment method, You expressly authorize Us and/or our third-party payment processor to charge the applicable fees on said payment method as well as taxes and other charges incurred thereto at regular intervals (including, without limitation, periodic fees for monthly or annual recurrent offerings or subscriptions), all of which depend on Your particular subscription and utilized services. All payments will be subject to the third-party payment processor’s applicable fees, terms, conditions and privacy policies, and you hereby agree to pay such fees and comply with all such terms, conditions and policies.

Automatic Renewal Terms for Auto-Renewing Subscriptions

We may offer some of Our Paid Offerings under automatic renewal terms in order to facilitate continuity of service to You. If You purchase a Paid-Offering that is subject to automatic renewal terms, such Paid-Offering will be billed on a subscription basis and will automatically renew on the same terms and conditions until cancelled by You or Us (a “Subscription”). We will automatically renew your Paid-Offering as per the period of Your choosing, on the anniversary of that date that We first charge Your account for the first fee, and, as authorized by You during the Paid-Offering sign-up process. We will charge Your account with the applicable fee and any sales or similar taxes that may be imposed on Your fee payment (unless you cancel prior to the anniversary date). Each renewal period is for the same term as the prior one, unless otherwise agreed between You and Us. We reserve the right to modify pricing at any time (but not the price in effect for Your then-current term), upon advance notice to You. If You have not cancelled the Paid-Offering within the specified time after receiving notice of a price change, Your Paid-Offering will auto-renew at the price indicated in Your notice.

Cancellation

YOU MAY CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT OR PAID-OFFERINGS AT ANY TIME, PROVIDED THAT (UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED ON THE PLATFORM) ANY FEES CHARGED PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF CANCELLATION WILL NOT BE REFUNDED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART. You will be responsible for paying any balance due on the account. To make things less complicated, You agree that We may charge any unpaid fees to Your provided payment method and/or send You a bill for such unpaid fees. If you cancel your Paid-Offering, your access to and use of the applicable offering will be shut off once your then current term expires. We do not provide pro-rated refunds of any portion of the fees paid for any unused Paid-Offerings. If you have any problems or concerns with your cancellation please contact us at help@backstory.app for assistance.

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS.

By using the Platform and/or the Services provided on or through the Platform, You consent to receiving electronic communications from Us. These electronic communications may include notices about applicable fees and charges, transactional information and other information concerning or related to the Platform and/or Services provided on or through the Platform. These electronic communications are part of Your relationship with Us. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures or other communications that We send You electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing.

We respect the information that You provide to Us, and want to be sure You fully understand exactly how We use that information. So, please review Our Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) which explains how we use such information.

LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY SITES.

We think links are convenient, and We sometimes provide links on the Platform to third-party websites. If You use these links, You will leave the Platform. We are not obligated to review any third-party websites that You link to from the Platform, We do not control any of the third-party websites, and We are not responsible for any of the third-party websites (or the products, services, or content available through any of them). Thus, We do not endorse or make any representations about such third-party websites, any information, software, products, services, or materials found there or any results that may be obtained from using them.

To the extent not waivable, you irrevocably agree not to exercise such rights (if any) in a manner that interferes with any exercise of the granted rights. You agree to pay all royalties, fees and other monies owing to any person or entity by reason of the User Submissions that you post on the Platform.

We may, but are not obligated to, pre-screen User Submissions or monitor any area of the Platform through which User Submissions may be submitted. Additionally, we may use technology provided by our service providers to review Your Content to confirm that it does not contain any explicit, illegal, or potentially offensive material. We are not required to host, display, or distribute any User Submissions on or through the Platform and may remove at any time or refuse any User Submissions for any reason.

We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any User Submissions that you or any other user posts or sends on or through the Platform, nor do we assume any liability for any action or inaction regarding transmissions, communications or content provided by any user or third party.

We will cooperate with those attempting to minimize Internet abuse and reserve the right to institute “filters” or other mechanisms for that purpose. We will cooperate with law enforcement authorities and reserve the right to notify such authorities if We suspect that You are engaged in illegal activities. Nothing contained in this Section, or anywhere in these Terms, is intended to bestow any rights on any third party, and no third parties shall be entitled to enforce any terms of these Terms between us, the parties.

Protections

We take the issue of child pornography very seriously, and any potential harm to minors using Our Services or the Platform is strictly prohibited. User Submissions that are or may be perceived to be child pornography will be immediately removed from the Platform upon notification or detection by Us. Additionally, We reserve the right to terminate any account that includes User Submissions that are or may be perceived to be child pornography immediately and without notice to You. You agree to cooperate in any such efforts. User Submissions or communications seeking to solicit, lure or entice minors into sexual activity or lewd behavior is also strictly prohibited, and will be treated the same as, or similar to, child pornography, consistent with applicable law. Consistent with federal law, We will cooperate with law enforcement authorities and will notify such authorities if we suspect that You are engaged in any such illegal activities.

In accordance with the reporting requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 2258A, we will report to the CyberTipline (www.cybertipline.com) any actual knowledge of apparent violations of 18 U.S.C §§ 2251, 2251A, 2252, 2252A, 2252B, 2260, or 1466A. If You suspect any instances of child pornography appearing on the Platform, We encourage you to send such reports to our abuse address at legal@backstory.app, and include the name of the account holder, file name, victim (if known), date of birth, date of production, and any other information about the suspect image(s). Do not send the image(s) in question. Alternately, you may use the CyberTipline to report suspected child pornography.

Immunity from Certain Claims

Pursuant to the Communications Decency Act (the “CDA”), 47 U.S.C. § 230(c)(1), and court decisions interpreting the scope of the CDA, you acknowledge and understand that We operate as the provider of an interactive computer service. Thus, we are immune from, and cannot be held responsible for, claims arising from the publication of your User Submissions. We do not create such content, and we are not responsible for the publication of remarks or communications of you or third parties that may arguably rise to the level of being actionable under federal or state laws including, but not limited to, the publication of material that might be considered defamatory, or violative of privacy or publicity rights. Note, that federal law allows Us to remove any content found to be offensive, defamatory, obscene or otherwise violative of our policies, without impacting our immunity status as an interactive computer service. Nothing contained in this Section is intended to limit or alter the immunity from claims provided by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. In the event that any court finds that any third-party communication or third-party content hosted by us falls outside of the realm of the immunity provided by the CDA, this shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any legal protections provided by Section 230 for any and all other content posted on our Site or hosted via our Services.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

Please Read This Provision Carefully. It Affects Your Legal Rights.

This Section (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration; Class Action Waiver) (this “Provision”) facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any dispute (e.g., claim or controversy, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort – including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence – or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below) that may arise between You and Us. Effectively, then, “Dispute” is given the broadest meaning enforceable by law and includes any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to You (such as Our licensors, suppliers, dealers or third-party vendors) whenever You also assert claims against Us in the same proceeding.

This Provision provides that all disputes between You and Us shall be resolved by binding arbitration because acceptance of These Terms constitutes a waiver of Your right to litigation claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. To be clear, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow these Terms and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees). You may, however, opt-out of this Provision which means You would have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). EVERYONE AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.

Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution

For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, You must first give Us an opportunity to resolve the Dispute which is first done by <emailing> to Us at legal@backstory.app the following information: (1)Your name, (2) Your address, (3) A written description of Your Claim, and (4) A description of the specific relief You seek. If We do not resolve the Dispute within 45 days after receiving Your notification, than You may pursue Your Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue Your dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.

Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out

Notwithstanding the above, Your or We may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if: (a) The dispute qualifies for initiation in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THESE TERMS (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You may opt-out of this Provision by emailing Us at legal@backstory.app the following information: (1) Your name; (2) Your address; (3) A clear statement that You do not wish to resolve disputes with Us through arbitration. Either way, We will not take any decision You make personally. In fact, We promise that Your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision will have no adverse effect on Your relationship with Us. But, We do have to enforce the Opt-Out Deadline so keep in mind that any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and You must pursue Your dispute in arbitration or small claims court.

Arbitration Procedures

If this Provision applies and the dispute is not resolved as provided above (Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution) either You or We may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration only, and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration or a consolidated or representative action or arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Provision.

For arbitration before AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action or representative procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.

Because this Website, the Platform and these Terms concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.

Arbitration Award – The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party or if required by applicable law. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA or other applicable law, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.

Location of Arbitration – You or We may initiate arbitration in either California or the federal judicial district that includes Your billing address.

Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs – So long as You place a request in writing prior to commencement of the arbitration, We will pay all arbitration filing fees and AAA or JAMS hearing fees and any arbitrator's hearing fees, costs and expenses upon Your written request to the arbitrator given at or before the first evidentiary hearing in the arbitration. But, You will still be responsible for all additional fees and costs that You incur in the arbitration which include but are not limited to attorneys’ fees or expert witnesses. In addition to any fees and costs recoverable under applicable law, if You provide notice and negotiate in good faith with Us as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that You are the prevailing party in the arbitration, You will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.

Class Action Waiver

Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action, representative action, or private attorney general action) unless both You and We specifically agree to do so in writing following initiation of the arbitration. If You choose to pursue Your Dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to You. Neither You, nor any other user of the Platform or visitor to the Website can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.

No Judge or Jury in Arbitration

Arbitration does not involve a judge or jury. You understand and agree that by entering into these Terms You and We are each giving up the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Provision, You and We might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that You would have if You went to court (e.g., the rights to both appeal and certain types of discovery) may be more limited or may also be waived.

Severability

If any clause within this Provision (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Provision whose remainder will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Provision will be unenforceable and the dispute will be decided by a court.

Continuation

This Provision shall survive the termination of Your account with Us or Our affiliates and Your discontinued use of the Platform. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, We agree that if We make any change to this Provision (other than a change to the Notice Address), You may reject any such change and require Us to adhere to the present language in this Provision if a dispute between Us arises.

LANGUAGE.

The Parties hereto have expressly required that these Terms and all documents and notices relating thereto be drafted in the English language.

However, certain violations of these Terms, as determined by Us, may require immediate termination of Your access to the Platform without prior notice to You.
