user, host or network, including by means of overloading, "flooding," "spamming," "mail bombing", or "crashing" the Website or the Service.
6. Fees and Purchase Terms
6.1 General Purpose of Terms: Sale of Service, not Software.
The purpose of the Terms is for you to secure access to the Services. All fees set forth within and paid by you under the Terms shall be considered solely
in furtherance of this purpose. In no way are these fees paid considered payment for the sale, license, or use of KeepSafe's Software or Application, and,
furthermore, any use of KeepSafe's Software or Application by you in furtherance of the Terms will be considered merely in support of the purpose of the
Terms.
6.2 Payment.
You agree to pay all fees or charges to your Account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due
and payable. KeepSafe collects payments through a limited number of payment services (
"Payment Provider"). You must provide KeepSafe with
valid account information for the respective chosen Payment Provider. Your Payment Provider agreement governs your use of the designated credit card or
other payment method, and you must refer to that agreement and not the Terms to determine your rights and liabilities. By providing KeepSafe with your
payment information, you agree that KeepSafe is authorized to immediately invoice your Account for all fees and charges due and payable to KeepSafe
hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required. You agree to immediately notify KeepSafe of any change in payment credentials for payment
hereunder. KeepSafe reserves the right at any time to change its prices and billing methods, either immediately upon posting on the Website or by e-mail
delivery to you.
6.3 Service Subscription Fees
You will be responsible for payment of the applicable fee for any Services (each, a
"Service Subscription Fee") at the time you create
your Account and select the term of your subscription (each, a
"Service Commencement Date"). Except as set forth in the Terms, all fees
for the Services are non-refundable. No contract will exist between you and KeepSafe for the Services until KeepSafe or the Payment Provider, for example
Apple or Google, accepts your order by a confirmatory e-mail, SMS/MMS message, or other appropriate means of communication.
6.4 Taxes.
KeepSafe's fees are net of any applicable Sales Tax. If any Service, or payments for any Service, are subject to Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have
not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to KeepSafe, you will be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the
relevant tax authority and you will indemnify KeepSafe for any liability or expense we may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon our request, you
will provide us with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes. For
purposes of this section,
"Sales Tax" shall mean any sales or use tax, and any other tax measured by sales proceeds, that KeepSafe its
permitted to pass to its customers that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a
sales or use tax.
6.5 Automatic Renewal.
Your subscription will continue indefinitely until terminated in accordance with the Terms.
After your initial subscription period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically commence on the first
day following the end of such period (each a "Renewal Commencement Date") and continue for an additional equivalent period, at KeepSafe's then-current
price for such subscription. You agree that your Account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless you cancel your subscription at least
24 hours prior to the Renewal Commencement Date by logging into and going to the "Manage App Subscriptions" page in the Apple App Store or the "My
Apps" page in the Google Play Store app. The same page will permit you to change your Account settings if you do not wish your subscription to renew
automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your subscription.
If you cancel your subscription, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term; your subscription will not be renewed
after your then-current term expires. However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the
then-current subscription period. By subscribing, you authorize KeepSafe to charge your Payment Provider now, and again at the beginning of any subsequent
subscription period. Upon renewal of your subscription, if KeepSafe does not receive payment from your Payment Provider, (i) you agree to pay all amounts
due on your Account upon demand, and/or (ii) you agree that KeepSafe may either terminate or suspend your subscription and continue to attempt to charge
your Payment Provider until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your Account will be re-activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new
subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received).

In the event that KeepSafe determines, in its sole discretion, that you have breached any portion of the Terms, or have otherwise demonstrated conduct

(a)

violation of any portion of the Terms, then you agree that you shall not attempt to re-register with or access the Website, the Application, the Software,
or the Service through use of a different member name or otherwise, and you acknowledge that you will not be entitled to receive a refund for fees related
to those materials or Service to which your access has been terminated. In the event that you violate the immediately preceding sentence, KeepSafe reserves
the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately take any or all of the actions set forth herein without any notice or warning to you.
10. Miscellaneous Legal Terms
10.1 Electronic Communications.
The communications between you and KeepSafe use electronic means, whether you visit the Website or send KeepSafe e-mails, or whether KeepSafe posts notices
on the Website or communicates with you via e-mail. For contractual purposes, you (1) consent to receive communications from KeepSafe in an electronic
form; and (2) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that KeepSafe provides to you electronically
satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were to be in writing. The foregoing does not affect your statutory rights.
10.2 Release.
You hereby release KeepSafe and its successors from claims, demands, any and all losses, damages, rights, and actions of any kind, including personal
injuries, death, and property damage of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of the Terms or your use of the Website, the Application, the
Software or the Service. If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, "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.
10.3 Assignment.
The Terms, and your rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without KeepSafe's
prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.
10.4 Force Majeure.
KeepSafe shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts
of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes or shortages of transportation facilities,
fuel, energy, labor or materials.
10.5 Dispute Resolution.
(a)
Any claim or dispute (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms where the total amount of
the award sought is less than Five Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $5,000.00) may be resolved in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based
arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. Such arbitration shall be initiated through an established alternative dispute resolution provider
("ADR Provider") that offers arbitration as set forth in this section and under the rules of such ADR Provider, except to the extent such
rules are in conflict with the Terms. The party demanding arbitration will propose an ADR Provider and the other party shall not unreasonably withhold
consent to use such ADR Provider. The ADR Provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: (1) the arbitration shall be conducted by
telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (2) all
arbitration proceedings shall be held in English; (3) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless
otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties; and (4) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent
jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share
of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, KeepSafe may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its
intellectual property rights in any court of competent jurisdiction. Please note that the laws of the jurisdiction where you are located may be different
from California law, including the laws governing what can legally be sold, bought, exported, offered or imported. You shall always comply with all the
international and domestic laws, ordinances, regulations and statutes that are applicable to your use of the KeepSafe Materials.
(b)
Any other dispute (including whether the claims asserted are arbitrable) shall be referred to and finally determined by binding and confidential
arbitration. Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitration shall be conducted before one
commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association ( "AAA"). As modified by the Terms, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the
AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively "Rules and Procedures").
(c)
You are thus GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights EXCEPT for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights
will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures areSIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.
(d)
You and KeepSafe must abide by the following rules: (i) ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR KEEPSAFE MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT
AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (ii) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS,
MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF; (iii) in the event that you are able
to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, KeepSafe will pay as much of your filing and hearing
fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of
litigation; (iv) KeepSafe also reserves the right in its sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all of the costs of the arbitration;
(v) the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (vi) the arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we may
disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for the purposes of enforcement of the arbitration
award; (vii) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law; and (viii) each side pays its own
attorneys' fees and expenses unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation expenses, and then
in such instance, the fees and costs awarded shall be determined by applicable law.
(e)
The arbitral proceedings, and all pleadings and written evidence will be in the English language. Any written evidence originally in a language other than
English will be submitted in English translation accompanied by the original or true copy thereof. The English language version will control. The
arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including
the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator will not have authority to award damages in excess of the amount, or other than the types, allowed
by Section 8 of the Terms. Judgment on the award of the arbitrator may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator also shall be
authorized to grant any temporary, preliminary or permanent equitable remedy or relief it deems just and equitable and within the scope of the Terms,
including, without limitation, an injunction or order for specific performance. The arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the parties without
appeal or review except as permitted by California law or United States federal law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or KeepSafe may bring an individual action in small claims court. Further, claims of defamation, violation of the
Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party's patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret shall not be subject
to this arbitration agreement. Such claims shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California.
Additionally, notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before the state or federal courts located in
San Francisco County, California, in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, and hereby agree to submit to the exclusive personal
jurisdiction of the courts located within San Francisco County, California for such purpose. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of
the right to arbitrate.
(f)
With the exception of (d)(i) and (ii) above (prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis), if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed
to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain
in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein.
If, however, either (d)(i) or (ii) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and
void, and neither you nor KeepSafe shall be entitled to arbitration. If for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute
shall be exclusively brought in state or federal court in San Francisco County, California. By using the KeepSafe Materials in any manner, you agree to the
above arbitration provision.
For more information on AAA, its Rules and Procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at
http://www.adr.org.
10.6 Choice of Law and Venue.
The Terms and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any
conflict of laws principles that require the application of the law of a different state. You hereby expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction and
venue in the state and federal courts for the county in which KeepSafe's principal place of business is located for any lawsuit filed against you by
KeepSafe arising from or related to the Terms.
10.7 Notice.
Where KeepSafe requires that you provide an e-mail address, you are responsible for providing KeepSafe with your most current e-mail address. In the event
that the last e-mail address you provided to KeepSafe is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required/permitted by
the Terms, KeepSafe's dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You may give notice to KeepSafe at the
following address: 178 Castro St., San Francisco, CA 94114. Such notice shall be deemed given when received by KeepSafe by letter delivered by nationally
recognized overnight delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail at the above address.
10.8 Waiver.
Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of the Terms on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any
other occasion.
10.9 Severability.
If any provision of the Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of the Terms will remain enforceable, and the
invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
10.10 App Stores.
You acknowledge and agree that the availability of the Application and the Services is dependent on the third party from whom you received the Application
license, e.g., the Apple iPhone or Android app stores (
"App Store"). You acknowledge and agree that the Terms are between you and KeepSafe
only, and not with the App Store. KeepSafe, not the App Store, is solely responsible for the KeepSafe Materials, including the Application, the contents
thereof, maintenance, support services, and warranty therefor, and addressing any claims relating thereto (e.g., product liability, legal compliance or
intellectual property infringement). In order to use the Application, you must have access to a wireless network, and you agree to pay all fees associated
with such access. You also agree to pay all fees (if any) charged by the App Store in connection with the KeepSafe Materials, including the Application.
You agree to comply with, and your license to use the Application is conditioned upon your compliance with, all applicable third-party terms of agreement
(e.g., the App Store's terms and policies) when using the KeepSafe Materials, including the Application. You acknowledge that the App Store (and its
subsidiaries) are third-party beneficiaries of the Terms and will have the right to enforce them.
10.11 Accessing and Download the Application from iTunes.
The following applies to any App Store Sourced Application accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store:
(a)
You acknowledge and agree that (i) the Terms are concluded between you and KeepSafe only, and not Apple, and (ii) KeepSafe, not Apple, is solely
responsible for the App Store Sourced Application and content thereof. Your use of the App Store Sourced Application must comply with the App Store Terms
