Payment.
Disclaimer of Warranties.
We provide our service as is, and we make no promises or guarantees about this service. Please read this section carefully; you should understand what to expect.
American Postal Owners provides the Website, the Storage Service, and the Online Service “as is,” without warranty of any kind. Without limiting the foregoing, American Postal Owners expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied or statutory, regarding the Website, the Storage Service, and the Online Service including without limitation any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, security, accuracy and non-infringement.
Without limiting the foregoing, neither American Postal Owners nor its suppliers and licensors make any warranty or representation that the information they provide or that is provided through the Online Service is accurate, reliable or correct; that the Online Service will meet your requirements; that the Online Service will be available at any particular time or location; that the Online Service will function in an uninterrupted manner or be secure; that any defects or errors will be corrected; or that the Online Service is free of viruses or other harmful components. You assume full responsibility and risk of loss resulting from your downloading and/or use of files, information, content or other material obtained from the Online Service. Some jurisdictions limit or do not permit disclaimers of warranty, so this provision may not apply to you.
Limitation of Liability.
We will not be liable for damages or losses arising from your use of the service or arising under this agreement. Please read this section carefully; it limits our obligations to you.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will American Postal Owners be liable to you for any loss of profits, use, or data, or for any incidental, indirect, special, consequential or exemplary damages, however arising, that result from (i) your use or inability to use the Online Service; (ii) the Online Service generally or the software or systems that make the Online Service available; or (iii) any other interactions with American Postal Owners or any other user of the Online Service, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence) or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been informed of the possibility of such damage, and even if a remedy set forth in this agreement is found to have failed of its essential purpose. We will have no liability for any failure or delay due to matters beyond our reasonable control. Some jurisdictions limit or do not permit disclaimers of liability, so this provision may not apply to you.
Release and Indemnification.
You are responsible for your use of the service. If you harm someone else, misuse our storage, or get into a dispute with someone else, we will not be involved.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless American Postal Owners from and against any and all claims and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of your use of the Website, the Storage Service, and the Online Service, including but not limited to your violation of this Agreement or misuse of the Storage Service.
If you have a dispute with one or more Users, you release American Postal Owners from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you explicitly and knowingly waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
Modification of Terms of Service.
American Postal Owners may modify this agreement, but we will notify users of changes that affect your rights.
American Postal Owners reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to amend these Terms of Service at any time and will update these Terms of Service in the event of any such amendments. American Postal Owners will notify our Users of material changes to this Agreement in the subscription period prior to the change taking effect by posting a notice on our home page and sending an email to the email address you provided to us. For non-material modifications, your continued use of the Website constitutes agreement to American Postal Owners' revisions to these Terms of Service.
Arbitration Agreement.
In the unlikely event that a dispute arises between you and us, you agree to resolve most claims through individual arbitration. The following section explains our arbitration policy. Please read it very carefully, as it affects your rights.
Arbitration. Should a dispute arise between you and American Postal Owners, we would like to provide you with a neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Therefore, for any claim (except for claims for injunctive or equitable relief or claims regarding intellectual property rights) under this Agreement where the total amount of the award sought is less than $75,000, either party may elect to resolve any dispute arising under this Agreement through binding non-appearance-based arbitration.
Procedure. Any disputes arising with respect to this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service, Inc. (“JAMS”). The arbitrator shall be selected by joint agreement of the parties. In the event the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the initiating party providing the other party with written notice that it plans to seek arbitration, the parties shall each select an arbitrator affiliated with JAMS, which arbitrators shall jointly select a third such arbitrator to resolve the dispute. The written decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties and enforceable in any court. The arbitration proceeding shall take place in San Francisco, California, using the English language. Both parties agree that this Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and, except as otherwise provided herein, that all modifications must be in a writing signed by both parties.
No Right to Jury Trial. You acknowledge that you are waiving your right to a jury trial. Section 12 of this agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
Miscellaneous.
This agreement is controlled by California law. You, and you alone, are responsible for any obligations you agree to under this contract. If we are involved in a merger or we are bought, we may transfer this agreement, as long as your rights are protected. You may only agree to these terms if you are able to form a binding contract in your state. These terms, including our Privacy Policy, are the complete agreement between us, and no other terms apply.
Governing Law. Except to the extent applicable law provides otherwise, this Agreement between you and American Postal Owners and any access to or use of the Website or the Online Service are governed by the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You and American Postal Owners agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in the City and County of San Francisco, California, except as provided elsewhere in this Agreement.
Limitation of Term of Action . You agree that any cause of action related to or arising out of your relationship with American Postal Owners must commence within ONE year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
Non-Assignability. American Postal Owners may assign or delegate these Terms of Service, the Storage Service Agreement, and/or the American Postal Owners Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under the Terms of Service or Privacy Policy without American Postal Owners' prior written consent, and any unauthorized assignment and delegation by you is void.
Section Headings and Summaries Non-Binding. Throughout this Agreement, each section includes titles and brief summaries of the following terms and conditions. These section titles and brief summaries are not legally binding.
Severability . If any part of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion of the Agreement will be construed to reflect the parties’ original intent. The remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. Any failure on the part of American Postal Owners to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be considered a waiver of our right to enforce such provision. Our rights under this Agreement will survive any termination of this Agreement.
Complete Agreement. These terms of service, together with the American Postal Owners Privacy Policy, the American Postal Owners Storage Service Agreement, and American Postal Owners's other terms, conditions, and policies, represent the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between you and American Postal Owners. This Agreement supersedes any proposal or prior agreement oral or written, and any other communications between you and American Postal Owners relating to the subject matter of these terms. This Agreement may only be modified by a written amendment signed by an authorized executive of American Postal Owners, or by the posting by American Postal Owners of a revised version.
You acknowledge that you have read these Terms of Service, understand the Terms of Service, and will be bound by these terms and conditions.
