Terms of Use

These are Swaray’s Terms of Use (“Terms”) and they are between you and Swaray Inc. (“Swaray”). These Terms govern your access to and use of our services, including our Swaray mobile application (“App”) and our website located at https://www.swaraylabs.com (collectively, the “Swaray Platform” or the “Services”). Please read them carefully and let us know if you have any questions. For information about our data practices, please see our Privacy Policy, including our Cookie Policy. We can collect and use your information in accordance with those policies.

Basic Terms

You may use the Services only if you can form a binding contract with Swaray and are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. If you are accepting these Terms and using the Services on behalf of a company, organization, government, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to do so. You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations.

Agreement to Terms

Your access to and use of the Services is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. By accessing or using the Services you agree to be bound by these Terms. The Services that Swaray provides are always evolving and the form and nature of the Services may change from time to time without prior notice to you. In addition, Swaray may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Services (or any features within the Services) to you or to users generally and may not be able to provide you with prior notice. We also retain the right to create limits on use and storage at our sole discretion at any time without prior notice to you.

Registration

If you want to use certain features of the Services you’ll have to create an account (“Account”) and become a registered user (“User” or “Fan”). It’s important that you provide us with accurate, complete and up-to-date information for your account and you agree to update such information, as needed, to keep it accurate, complete and up-to-date. If you don’t, we might have to suspend or terminate your account. We reserve the right to force forfeiture of any username, Fan Page name or NFT All Access Pass name for any reason.

You are responsible for safeguarding the password or credentials that you use to access the Services and for any activities or actions under your account. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols) with your account. Swaray cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account, whether or not you know about them.

Your account

When you create an account you must provide us with accurate information, in good faith, and you agree to keep your information updated if it changes. To create an account you must be at least 13 years old. In order to withdraw funds from a Swaray account, you must be at least 18 years old with (i) a valid social security number or tax-payer identification number, or (ii) have a parent/guardian’s valid tax ID number, or (iii) have a valid taxable or non-profit Employer Identification Number (“EIN”). You are responsible for anything that occurs when anyone is signed in to your account, as well as the security of the account. Please contact us immediately at info@swaraylabs.com if you believe your account is compromised.

Abusive conduct

You are responsible for all activity on your account. If you violate our policies we may terminate your account. Don’t do anything illegal, abusive towards others, or that abuses our site in a technical way. You can find more detailed information in the Community Guidelines and Security Policy. These policies cover most issues, but if you find a new and creative way to hurt Swaray or our community we may take action to prevent it.

Account Creation and Fan Pages

To become a Content Creator, simply create an account and create a Fan Page. When you join Swaray, you become part of the Swaray community. You can use the tools and features that Swaray provides, showcase your live, pre-recorded and photo/image Content, sell one-time pay-per-view videos and monthly subscriptions (collectively “Content”), mint NFT All Access Passes (“NFTs”), and receive recurring revenue from your Fan Page and associated Content. NFT All Access Passes are for your most passionate Fans. On Swaray, you can provide your Fans something exciting that gives them unique benefits they want, like additional access, exclusivity, and engaging experiences. In turn, you will receive loyal support from your Fans, and recurring revenue from monthly subscriptions and NFT All Access Passes that Fans have purchased from you on Swaray.

Payments

As a Content Creator you make your Content, subscriptions and NFT All Access Passes available on Swaray, and we provide the infrastructure to be able to sell access to your Content on a pay-per-view, subscription or All Access Pass basis. Fans buy Swaray points (“Swaray Points”) on Swaray that allow them to purchase access to unique Content all across the Swaray platform and you, the Content Creator, receive $0.009 per point when you decide to redeem your Swaray Points for cash via PayPal or Stripe. We also handle payments issues such as fraud, chargebacks and resolution of payments disputes. You can redeem your earned Swaray Points for cash, but you cannot redeem purchased Swaray Points for cash. Once Swaray Points are purchased, they can only be gifted, donated or used to purchase access to Content. Unfortunately, Users could otherwise launder money on the Swaray Platform if we allowed Users to redeem points that they purchased. We try to provide timely access to your funds, but you may occasionally experience delays in accessing your funds. We may also block or hold payments for violations of our policies or for compliance reasons, including collecting tax reporting information. When payments are delayed or blocked we try to communicate the reason to you promptly. If you have questions about a payment block, please reach out to us at info@swaraylabs.com. In order to protect Content Creators, we may block Users’ payments if we believe them to be fraudulent. Sometimes activities like refunds can put your account balance into the negative. If your balance becomes negative then we reserve the right to recover those funds from future payments.

Pay-Per-View Purchases

One of the variety of Content purchasing options on Swaray is to allow Users to purchase ad-hoc, one-time, pay-per-view Content that you, as a Content Creator, post to the Swaray Platform. Whether that’s a prerecorded video that you upload, an audio upload, an image upload or an interactive Live Event that you host or any combination of the aforementioned, you can charge Users to access that Content or provide it for free. Swaray allows Fan Page owners to post any and all Content (subject to our Terms of Use), charge what they want for Fans to access it and edit/delete it as they wish. If you paid for a Live Event or any Content on Swaray, it’s up to you to determine whether there is value to you to view the aforementioned Content. Swaray is not responsible for the Content Creator’s determination of whether to keep that Content active on their Fan Page forever or for one day and we will never represent otherwise. The User is ultimately responsible for the determination of the risk/reward of purchasing access to Content from any Content Creator. It might be available to you for years, but it might be available to your for a few minutes. Swaray takes no responsibility for the duration of Content on the Swaray Platform. If you want that Content back, you, the User will need to contact the Content Creator directly via Direct Message and request that he/her repost the Content on the Swaray Platform. We are merely a Content distribution platform that facilitates financial transactions between willing buyers and sellers of Content.

Monthly Subscription Purchases

Fans can also purchase Content from Content Creators on a recurring, monthly subscription basis. Monthly subscriptions entitle Users to all of a Content Creators’ Content in exchange for a fixed monthly payment. Swaray facilitates the monthly purchase of Swaray Points or the debit of Swaray Points from a User’s account (if available in said User’s account) in exchange for access to monthly unlimited access to Content from an individual or a series of Content Creators. All monthly subscription purchase payments are processed on the monthly anniversary of the month following the monthly subscription commitment by the User (See Terms of Commitment) and continue on the monthly anniversary until such subscription is terminated by the User. In the event that a User terminates their monthly subscription mid-month, the monthly subscription shall continue to provide the User with the same Content access/benefits until the end of the monthly anniversary, without refund for the period from termination request until aforementioned monthly anniversary.

NFT All Access Pass Purchases

NFT All Access Passes on Swaray provide Fans with lifetime access to all Content created by Content Creators on Swaray. NFT All Access Passes are minted on Swaray and the underlying smart contracts are recorded on the Polygon blockchain. NFT All Access Passes are purchasable at prices and in numerical denominations as determined by the Content Creator, the price and number of which are offered is not governed by Swaray. In addition, Swaray does not represent or warrant that the Content Creator or the Content produced by the Content Creator will exist for any period of time beyond the immediate date that the Content is available on Content Creator’s Fan Page. Swaray cannot and will not be held liable for any Content that is available or not available on any Fan Page that may or may not be available beyond the date of Purchase. NFT All Access Passes are purchased and resellable on the Swaray NFT Marketplace at market prices set entirely by the Content Creator in the case of a First Issuance and at prices set by the seller in the case of a secondary sale. The market prices for Swaray NFT All Access Passes can and will fluctuate and may increase or decrease for reasons beyond the control of Swaray, Users or Content Creators. Users who chose to speculate on the value of NFT All Access Passes may lose 100% of the value of the NFT All Access Pass that they purchase. Swaray explicitly advises all Users that it does not control NFT All Access Pass prices and will not be held liable for any losses incurred by any User for any purchase of any number of NFT All Access Passes. Speculative purchases of NFT All Access Passes with the intent of capital appreciation is extremely risky and can result in a User incurring a 100% loss of their purchase price. All fees for purchases and sales of NFT All Access Passes on Swaray are borne by the seller, with no fee charged to the buyer. Swaray always charges a 10% fee to the seller and a $10/NFT fee for each First Issuance to cover the cost of minting and administering the NFT on the Polygon blockchain.

NFT All Access Pass Usage

NFT All Access Passes provide specific utility to Users in the form of lifetime access to the entire catalog of Content from the Content Creator who minted and sold the NFT All Access Pass. In addition, Content Creators can offer additional platform benefits to owners in the form of early access to Content and exclusive Content and functionality outside of the Swaray Platform in the form of access to off-line/in-person events and other opportunities at the option of the Content Creator. In order to provide functionality outside the Swaray Platform, each NFT includes a unique QR Code on the Swaray Platform that can facilitate in-person redemption/use of the QR Code as proof of NFT All Access Pass ownership.

Selling NFT All Access Passes

NFT All Access Passes are minted by Content Creators and sold on Swary at fixed prices offered by the Content Creator. Swaray has no input or influence into the prices offered to buyers by the Content Creators and makes no representation or warranty as to the value of any NFT All Access Pass bought or sold on Swaray or bought or sold on any third-party platform. All Users on Swaray represent and warrant that they understand that the value of all NFT All Access Passes can and will fluctuate based on market demand, the frequency, attractiveness and quality of Content produced by the Content Creator and that the value of any NFT All Access Pass can go to zero at any time. NFT All Access Passes are collectible, tradeable NFTs that include the utility of providing lifetime access to a specific Content Creator’s Content on Swaray. Users expressly understand and agree that NFT All Access Passes may be purchased at values that in no way represent their fair market value and that Swaray does not control prices offered, nor does Swaray facilitate an orderly buyer or seller market in NFT All Access Passes. Swaray merely provides a marketplace for Users to buy and sell NFT All Access Passes. Swaray does limit the first issuance (“First Issuance”) number of units and maximum dollar amount of each NFT All Access Pass minting offered by any Content Creator to 100 units at $100 each in order to facilitate a liquid and active marketplace for each First Issuance. Buyers and can be offered to be re-sold by

Buying and Selling Swaray NFT All Access Passes on Other Trading Platforms

NFT All Access Passes that are minted and sold on the Swaray Platform must be held in a third-party non-custodial wallet (examples include MetaMask, Rainbow, Crypto.com, Trust Wallet, etc.). Swaray provides a simple connection to a variety of crypto wallets via WalletConnect for the ease of the User. All NFT All Access Passes must be sold on the Swaray Platform via the Swaray Marketplace and all NFT All Access Passes have a unique, embedded identification number that is recorded on the Polygon blockchain each time it is purchased. In the event that a User purchases a NFT All Access Pass on the Swaray Platform, that NFT has to be held in a third-party, non-custodial wallet that is neither controlled by nor accessible by Swaray and will be held as such until it is sold. If that User desires to sell their NFT All Access Pass at any point in the future, they can either sell it on the Swaray Marketplace or they can sell it via any other means available to them (other NFT marketplaces such as Open Sea, directly to another person, etc.). In the event that an NFT All Access Pass is sold in any capacity other than on the Swaray Marketplace, that specific NFT All Access Pass loses any and all utility on the Swaray Platform as determined by matching the owner/User attempting to utilize that NFT on the Swaray Platform with the last recorded owner/User with the unique NFT identifier created when the NFT is minted. If a User purchases an NFT All Access Pass outside of the Swaray Marketplace, that NFT’s unique identification number and the User identification number will not match and that NFT will provide no utility to its new owner until and unless a platform utility fee (“Platform Utility Fee”) is paid to Swaray in the amount of $10.00 or an equivalent amount of Swaray Points. Swaray highly recommends that Users only purchase and sell NFT All Access Passes on the Swaray Platform in order to avoid paying the Platform Utility Fee.

Redemption of Swaray Points

As a Content Creator on Swaray, we make monetization simple and you always earn $0.009 per Swaray Point or approximately 90% of the Swaray Point revenue received from Users purchasing points. For example, if the Content Creator charges 500 points for a monthly subscription, the Content Creator can redeem $4.50 from the 500 points they earned (500 x $0.009 = $4.50).

Swaray Point Purchases

Users can purchase Swaray Points via Apple Pay, via a variety of crypto currencies or via a multitude of credit/debit cards on the Swaray website. Swaray Points can be purchased in a variety of tiered packages and monthly subscription packages that provide more points at each payment tier and even more points when purchased as part of a monthly subscription. For example, Users paying with Apple Pay receive 600 points for $9.99, 1,250 points for $19.99 and 3,250 for $49.99 and 700, 1,400 and 3,500 points respectively for each of the same monthly subscription purchase prices.

Point Purchase Fees

Users pay a small payment processing fee in addition to their selected payment tier that Swaray has to pay to Stripe, our payment processing partner. The payment processing fee in US Dollars is 2.9% plus $0.30 per purchase. Stripe payments from Users outside the United States have an additional 1% fee. 

You can see how much processing fees are for any purchase or subscription prior to processing the payment transaction.

Depending on an individual Users’ locations, some banks may charge Users a foreign transaction fee for their payment. Swaray does not control this charge, but it is typically around 3.0%.

Taxes

We collect tax identification information and report this to the appropriate tax authorities as legally required. You are responsible for reporting any income or withholding taxes which may be due as a result of payments received on the Swaray Platform. By default, we withhold 10% of the income earned by any Content Creator to pay for taxes (“Withholding Taxes”). Users are free to increase, decrease or eliminate the Withholding Taxes at the time that a User first inputs their tax identification information, but if a User elects to reduce their Withholding Taxes below 10%, the User is required to sign an attestation document (“Attestation Document”) acknowledging and agreeing that they are solely responsible for paying all relevant and required taxes on any amount earned on the Swaray Platform.

We are additionally responsible for collecting state sales tax as a result of ‘marketplace laws’ within the United States. For the purpose of electronically-supplied services, Content Creators make a supply of those services to us, and then we supply them to the User.

Restrictions

We don’t allow Content that violate our policies. You can learn more by visiting our Guidelines. A summary of the Content that we don’t allow on the Swaray Platform is as follows:

Illegal Content.

Adult or Pornographic Content.

Content with real people engaging in sexual acts.

Content that is abusive towards other people.

Content that uses others’ intellectual property, unless you have written permission to use it, or your use is protected by fair use.

Content that violates any US or International law or rule of law.

If your Fans include people under the age of 18, then please remind them that they need parental or guardian permission to join your Fan Page, and those under the age of 13 cannot use Swaray.

We are not required to allow any particular person or group of persons to access your Content.

As a Content Creator you are also responsible for keeping User data safe to the extent that you record or retain any of it. User accounts and Fan Pages are tied to your Content and cannot be sold or transferred for use by another Content Creator.

All about being a Fan

A Fan is someone who views or purchases Content from Content Creators on Swaray. Through a variety of ad hoc purchases, monthly subscription purchases and purchases/ownership of NFT All Access Passes on Swaray, Fans can watch Content from Content Creators, directly interact with Content Creators and engage with other Users on the Swaray Platform.

As a User/Fan, you’re joining Swaray to be part of an exciting movement to provide financial support to a wide variety of Content Creators, Athletes, Teams and Schools. In return, you get access to view unique Content which may include the opportunity to directly interact with Content Creators, acquire merchandise (when offered), enjoy in-person events and interact with other Users on the Swaray Platform.

The timing and amount of each purchase or subscription is individually determined by each Content Creator. You can see the details as you join, as well as in the receipt sent to you after each successful payment.

You can view all your Content purchases, gifts (given and received), monthly subscriptions and NFT All Access Pass purchases/sales and a complete billing history on your Profile Page.

You may cancel your monthly subscription payments at any time. Annual subscriptions may be cancelled, or increased, but not lowered. Terminating monthly or annual memberships will go into effect in the subsequent (not current) payment term. Increasing a monthly or annual subscription to a higher tier level will go into effect in the current payment term. When you increase your payment for an annual subscription during the term, you will get a credit for any payment already made in that term.

For monthly or ad hoc, per creation payments, canceling your subscription may result in your immediate loss of access to any or all of the Content from that Content Creator.

These include when you cancel your monthly or annual subscription, your payment method fails, the Content Creator blocks you, or the Content Creator deletes their account. We are not required to allow you to be a Fan of any particular Content Creator and we assume no responsibility for ensuring that any Content Creator produces Content on any recurring basis or ever. Users/Fans are entirely responsible for assessing whether to purchase Content, monthly or annual subscriptions or NFT All Access Passes from a Content Creator. Swaray assumes no responsibility over the quality, quantity or frequency of Content created by any Content Creator on the Swaray Platform.

We attempt to screen for fraudulent Content Creator pages, but cannot guarantee the identity of Content Creators or the validity of any claims they make. We appreciate your help reporting suspicious Fan Pages and Content so we can keep Swaray safe for all Users.

Refunds 

Our policy is not to issue refunds for any purchases made on the Swaray Platform, although we will allow for some exceptions where refunds are granted in our sole discretion.

Swaray’s Role

We proactively look at some Fan Pages, Content, NFT All Access Passes, posts and messages on the Swaray Platform to make sure Users and Content Creators follow our Community Guidelines. We also investigate reports of potential violations. These investigations may take a while to resolve and may include looking at what is supported by funds received through the Swaray Platform.

In most situations we will work with Content Creators and Users to resolve any potential violations and allow the Content Creator or User to continue using Patreon. Terminating accounts is not an action we take lightly and is done in only the most extreme cases.

Swaray reserves the right to remove a Content Creator or User from participating in annual memberships. Removal of the creator or patron from participation in annual memberships will prohibit the creator from accepting new annual payments, and prohibit the patron from making new annual payments, but will not result in an automatic removal of the creator or patron from the Swaray Platform, unless there is an independent basis for their removal from the platform.

Please let us know if you see potential violations of our Community Guidelines. You can learn how to report them on our website.

As a global company based in the United States with operations in other countries, we must comply with economic sanctions and trade restrictions, including those implemented by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. This means that Swaray cannot take part in transactions that involve designated people, places, or items that originate from those places, as determined by agencies like OFAC.

We are constantly testing out new features with the goal of making Swaray better. We may add or remove features, and often test features with a random subset of our Users and Content Creators. If we believe a feature is significantly different from these terms, then we explain those differences in the test.

With your permission, we may give other websites or services the ability to verify information about your Swaray account or perform actions on your behalf. This permission is asked for when you connect your Swaray account to these other websites or services. You can learn more in our Privacy Policy.

Account deletion

You can permanently delete your account at any time by going to Account Settings from within your Profile Page. On that page you can also see what information is deleted and what we continue to store after the account is deleted. We can terminate or suspend your account at any time at our discretion. We can also cancel any membership subscriptions and remove any Content, descriptions, posts or messages at our discretion. You may not bring a claim against us for suspending or terminating another User’s account, and you agree you will not bring such a claim. If you try to bring such a claim, you are responsible for the damages caused, including attorneys fees and costs. These terms remain in effect even if you no longer have an account.

Your Content

You keep full ownership of all Content that you offer on Swaray, but we need licenses from you to operate Swaray effectively. By posting Content on Swaray you grant us a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable, worldwide license to use, reproduce, distribute, perform, publicly display or prepare derivative works of your creation. The purpose of this license is strictly limited to allow us to provide and promote purchases, monthly and annual memberships and NFT All Access Passes to your Fans. We will never steal your Content or use any of it in an exploitative way. You may not post Content that infringe others’ intellectual property or proprietary rights. We may ask you for consent verification for collaborators depicted in Content provided on the Swaray Platform. Users may not use Content posted by Content Creators or other Users in any way not authorized by the Content Creator or User.

Your third-party apps

You may grant Swaray access to your third-party accounts, such as Google, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Twitch, in order for some Swaray features to operate. Each time you connect your third-party account, that third-party account will present a page that describes the information that Swaray can access. At any time, you can revoke Swaray’s access to those accounts using the respective third party’s security settings page. These are the links for each service:

At any time, a friend of someone with whom you are in a Live Event with and Event Chatting with may join that current Live Event via an invite from anyone in the Live Event, with or without an invite from you and whether or not you know him or her. The Services may also suggest that you invite a Connection that you and one or more participants in a video chat session have in common to join a video chat session.

If you choose to import your personal contacts from your mobile device we will access your personal contacts in order to identify Users that you may know that are using the Services and to provide other Users with suggestions for potential Connections based on mutual contacts.

Invitations

We may offer you the opportunity to invite your Connections or other contacts to join your Live Events, or otherwise enjoy the Services.

Dispute Resolution

Governing Law

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws or provisions.

Agreement to Arbitrate

You and Swaray agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services or Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right: (i) to bring an individual action in small claims court (a “Small Claims Action”) and (ii) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights (an “IP Protection Action”). The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action will be the state and federal courts located in the Southern District of California and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Unless you timely provide Swaray with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice (as defined below in the Section titled “Your Choices”), you acknowledge and agree that you and Swaray are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Swaray otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Terms.

Arbitration Rules

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The AAA Rules are available at https://www.adr.org/mediation or by calling the AAA at 1–800–778–7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

Arbitration Process

A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

Arbitration Location and Procedure

Unless you and Swaray otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and Swaray submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

Arbitrator’s Decision

The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. Swaray will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.

Fees

Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, Swaray will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

Changes

Notwithstanding the provisions of the “General Terms” section below regarding changes to these Terms, if Swaray changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to info@fosocial.com within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of Swaray’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Swaray in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

Your Choices

If you don’t want to settle Disputes by arbitration as described above, you will notify Swaray by sending us written notice (including by email to info@fosocial.com telling us that you don’t want to use arbitration, within thirty (30) days of the date on which you agreed to these Terms (such notice, an “Arbitration Opt-out Notice”), and consequently you agree that all Disputes will be resolved exclusively by a court located in Orange County, California. If you don’t provide Swaray with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice within the thirty (30) day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any dispute except for a Small Claims Action and an IP Protection Action as set forth above.

General Terms

The failure of Swaray to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. In the event that any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. Swaray’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Swaray. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Swaray’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. Swaray may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction.
