The modifications will be effective upon posting (unless otherwise indicated at the time of posting). By continuing to access the Licensed Software or Services after revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Agreement. If you do not agree to the new Agreement, please stop using the applicable Licensed Software.
- “Confidential Information” shall mean the Licensed Software and all other information disclosed to you that MY SMART REMOTE characterizes as confidential at the time of its disclosure either in writing or orally, or that reasonably should be considered confidential given the nature or circumstances of disclosure, except for information which you can demonstrate: (a) is previously rightfully known to you without restriction on disclosure; (b) is or becomes, from no act or failure to act on your part, generally known in the relevant industry or public domain; (c) is disclosed to you by a third party as a matter of right and without restriction on disclosure; or (d) is independently developed by you without access to the Confidential Information. You shall use your best efforts to preserve and protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information at all times, both during the term hereof and for a period of at least five (5) years after termination of this Agreement, provided, however, that any source code you receive or have access to shall be held in confidence in perpetuity. You shall not disclose, disseminate or otherwise publish or communicate Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation or other third party without the prior written consent of MY SMART REMOTE. You shall not use any Confidential Information other than in the course of the activities permitted hereunder. You shall notify MY SMART REMOTE in writing immediately upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information or any other breach of this Agreement, and will cooperate with MY SMART REMOTE in every reasonable way to regain possession of Confidential Information and prevent any further unauthorized use. If you are legally compelled to disclose any of the Confidential Information, then, prior to such disclosure, you will (i) immediately notify MY SMART REMOTE prior to such disclosure to allow MY SMART REMOTE an opportunity to contest the disclosure, (ii) assert the privileged and confidential nature of the Confidential Information, and (iii) cooperate fully with MY SMART REMOTE in protecting against any such disclosure and/or obtaining a protective order narrowing the scope of such disclosure and/or use of the Confidential Information. In the event such protection is not obtained, you shall disclose the Confidential Information only to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable legal requirements.
- Neither the rights nor the obligations arising under this Agreement are assignable by you, and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void and without effect. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England without regard to the conflict of laws provisions therein that would require application of the laws of another jurisdiction. All waivers by MY SMART REMOTE will be effective only if in writing. Any waiver or failure by MY SMART REMOTE to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. Except as provided under the Arbitration section below, any action under or relating to this Agreement shall be brought solely in the courts located in London and each party hereby submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts, except that MY SMART REMOTE may seek relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect or enforce its intellectual property and proprietary rights. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is found to be contrary to law, then such provision shall be construed as nearly as possible to reflect the intention of the parties, with the other provisions remaining in full force and effect. Any notice to you may be provided by email. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and any and all written or oral agreements previously existing between the parties are expressly cancelled. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any modifications of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by MY SMART REMOTE. The parties acknowledge that they require that this Agreement be drawn up in the English language only. Any translation of this Agreement is done for local requirements and in the event of a dispute between the English and any non-English version, the English version of this Agreement will govern.
- This section limits your and our rights. Specifically, you understand that you and MY SMART REMOTE are waiving the right to sue in court and have a jury trial for certain claims.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree that all disputes and claims arising out of, or relating to, these Terms, or your use of the Services, Licensed Software and Device (including the arbitrability of any claim or dispute and the enforce-ability of this section), shall be determined exclusively by final and binding arbitration. Provided however, that you agree that the terms of this arbitration section do not apply to determinations as to the ownership of any intellectual property rights in the Services, Licensed Software or Device.
In the event that a dispute arises between My Smart Remote and the Purchaser, the affected parties shall attempt to resolve such dispute in the first instance by referring the matter to the relevant persons, or nominated equivalent, who will meet to try and negotiate a settlement in good faith. In the event that these person(s)/officers are unable to resolve the matter to the satisfaction of all parties, then the parties hereby agree to submit to arbitration by the London Court of International Arbitration (“LCIA”), the decision of which shall be binding on all of them.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER: Except as otherwise provided in this section, 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 or private attorney general action) unless both you and MY SMART REMOTE specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration. If you choose to pursue your dispute in court by opting out of this section, as specified below, this class action waiver will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other user of the Services, Device or Licensed Software can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, Device or the Licensed Software without having complied with the opt-out requirements below.
Except as expressly set forth in this section, you and MY SMART REMOTE may litigate in court only to compel arbitration under these Terms or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators. To the extent that you have breached or have indicated your intention to breach these Terms in any manner which violates or may violate MY SMART REMOTE’s or any of its licensor’s intellectual property rights, or may cause continuing or irreparable harm to MY SMART REMOTE (including, but not limited to, any breach that may impact MY SMART REMOTE’s or it’s licensor’s intellectual property rights, or a breach by reverse engineering), MY SMART REMOTE may seek injunctive relief, or any other appropriate relief, in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the above, you or MY SMART REMOTE may choose to pursue a dispute in court and not by arbitration if (a) the dispute qualifies, it may be initiated 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 Section by mailing written notification to MY SMART REMOTE at support@mysmartremote.com. Your written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with MY SMART REMOTE through arbitration. Your decision to opt-out of this Section will have no adverse effect on your relationship with MY SMART REMOTE. Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your dispute in arbitration or in small claims court.
QUESTIONS OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. If you have questions regarding this Agreement, or wish to obtain additional information, please send an e-mail to support@mysmartremote.com.
