General
Vocabloo websites (“Websites”), and related services (together with the Websites, the “Service”) are operated by Vocabloo, Inc. (“Vocabloo,” “us,” or “we”). Access and use of the Service is subject to the following Terms and Conditions of Service (“Terms and Conditions”). By accessing or using any part of the Service, you represent that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions including any future modifications. Vocabloo may amend, update, or change these Terms and Conditions. If we do this, we will post a notice that we have made changes to these Terms and Conditions on the Websites for at least 7 days after the changes are posted and will indicate at the bottom of the Terms and Conditions the date these terms were last revised. Any revisions to these Terms and Conditions will become effective the earlier of (i) the end of such 7-day period or (ii) the first time you access or use the Service after such changes. If you do not agree to abide by these Terms and Conditions, you are not authorized to use, access, or participate in the Service.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. VIEW THESE TERMS HERE.

License to Apps
Subject to the terms of these Terms and Conditions, Vocabloo grants you a non-transferable, non-exclusive license to download, install, and use one copy of each App in object code form only on an interactive wireless device that you own or control. You may not derive or attempt to derive the source code of all or any portion of any App, permit any third party to derive or attempt to derive such source code, or reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or translate any App or any part thereof. Vocabloo and its licensors own and shall retain all intellectual property rights and other rights in and to the Apps, and any changes, modifications, or corrections thereto. The following terms and conditions apply to you only if you are using the Apps from the Apple App Store. To the extent the other terms and conditions of these Terms and Conditions are less restrictive than, or otherwise conflict with, the terms and conditions of this paragraph, the more restrictive or conflicting terms and conditions in this paragraph apply, but solely with respect to Apps from the Apple App Store. You acknowledge and agree that these Terms and Conditions are solely between you and Vocabloo, not Apple, and that Apple has no responsibility for the Apps or content thereof. Your use of any App must comply with the App Store Terms of Service. You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the Apps. In the event of any failure of any App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any, for the App to you; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Apps, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be solely governed by these Terms and Conditions. You and Vocabloo acknowledge that Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims of you or any third party relating to the Apps or your possession and/or use of any App, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that an App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation. You and Vocabloo acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that any App or your possession and use of that App infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, Vocabloo, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by these Terms and Conditions. You must comply with applicable third party terms of agreement when using any App. You and Vocabloo acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of these Terms and Conditions as they relate to your license of the Apps, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms and Conditions against you as a third party beneficiary thereof.
Fees and Taxes
You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using a Vocabloo account registered to you. Vocabloo may revise the pricing for the goods and services offered through the Service at any time.

You agree to pay all charges incurred by users of your credit card, debit card, or other payment method used in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with the Service at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. You will pay any applicable taxes, if any, relating to any such purchases, transactions or other monetary transaction interactions.
Refund Policy
All payments are nonrefundable. There are no refunds or credits for Virtual Items or partially used membership periods. However, Vocabloo may grant refunds or credits on a case-by-case basis at our sole discretion. Vocabloo’s grant of a refund or credit in one instance does not obligate Vocabloo to provide a refund or credit in the future, under any circumstances. If you cancel your periodic subscription to a paid Vocabloo service, you will continue to have access to the service through the end of your current billing period.
Third-Party Links, Sites, and Services
The Service may contain links to third-party websites, advertisers, services, special offers, or other events or activities that are not owned or controlled by Vocabloo. We do not endorse or assume any responsibility for any such third-party sites, information, materials, products, or services. If you access any third party website, service, or content from Vocabloo, you understand that these Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy do not apply to your use of such sites. You expressly acknowledge and agree that Vocabloo shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss arising from your use of any third-party website, service, or content.
The Service may include advertisements, which may be targeted to the Content or information on the Service, or other information. The types and extent of advertising by Vocabloo on the Service are subject to change. In consideration for Vocabloo granting you access to and use of the Service, you agree that Vocabloo and its third party providers and partners may place such advertising in connection with the display of content or information submitted by you or others.
NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES BY VOCABLOO
THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ALL IMAGES, AUDIO FILES AND OTHER CONTENT THEREIN, AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION, PROPERTY AND RIGHTS GRANTED OR PROVIDED TO YOU BY VOCABLOO ARE PROVIDED TO YOU ON AN “AS IS” BASIS. VOCABLOO AND ITS SUPPLIERS MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND ALL SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, VOCABLOO DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND RELATING TO ACCURACY, SERVICE AVAILABILITY, COMPLETENESS, INFORMATIONAL CONTENT, ERROR-FREE OPERATION, RESULTS TO BE OBTAINED FROM USE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. ACCESS AND USE OF THE SERVICE MAY BE UNAVAILABLE DURING PERIODS OF PEAK DEMAND, SYSTEM UPGRADES, MALFUNCTIONS OR SCHEDULED OR UNSCHEDULED MAINTENANCE OR FOR OTHER REASONS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
LIMITATION ON TYPES OF DAMAGES/LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL VOCABLOO BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMING THROUGH YOU (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY) FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE ACCESS OR USE OF, OR THE INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICE OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE LOSS OF USE OF THE SERVICE, INACCURATE RESULTS, LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR DAMAGES STEMMING FROM LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE, THE COST OF RECOVERING ANY DATA, THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES OR CLAIMS BY THIRD PARTIES FOR ANY DAMAGE TO COMPUTERS, SOFTWARE, MODEMS, TELEPHONES OR OTHER PROPERTY, EVEN IF VOCABLOO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, VOCABLOO’S LIABILITY TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMING THROUGH YOU FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER, AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU TO VOCABLOO FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE INITIAL ACTION GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY. THIS IS AN AGGREGATE LIMIT. THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM HEREUNDER WILL NOT INCREASE THIS LIMIT.
You understand and agree that we have set our prices and entered into these Terms and Conditions with you in reliance upon the limitations of liability set forth in these Terms and Conditions, which allocate risk between us and form the basis of a bargain between the parties.
Termination
Vocabloo may terminate your access and use of the Service immediately at any time, for any reason, and at such time you will have no further right to use the Service. You may terminate your Vocabloo account at any time by following the instructions available through the Service. Sections 1, 6, 8, and 10-28 of these Terms and Conditions shall survive any termination.

If you are a copyright owner and have a good faith belief that any material available through the Service infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a copyright infringement notification to Vocabloo pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act by providing us with the following information in writing:
an electronic or physical signature of the copyright owner or the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest; a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed; a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Service, with enough detail that we may find it on the Service; your address, telephone number, and email address; a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.
Please consult your legal counsel for further details or see 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3). Vocabloo’s Agent for Notice of claims of copyright infringement can be reached as follows:
By email: abuse@vocabloo.com
For clarity, only copyright infringement notices should go to our Copyright Agent. You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this section your notice may not be valid.
If you believe the content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use such content, you may submit a counter-notice to the address listed above containing the following information:
Your physical or electronic signature; Identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled; A statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content; and Your name, physical address, telephone number, and e-mail address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in the judicial district in which you reside, or if you reside outside of the United States, then of the federal court in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
After we receive your counter-notification, we will forward it to the party who submitted the original claim of copyright infringement. Please note that when we forward the counter-notification, it includes your personal information. By submitting a counter-notification, you consent to having your information revealed in this way. We will not forward the counter-notification to any party other than the original claimant.
After we send out the counter-notification, the claimant must then notify us within 10 days that he or she has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity relating to the content that was removed or disabled. If we receive such notification, we will be unable to restore the material. If we do not receive such notification, we may reinstate the material.
Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, United States of America, excluding any conflict of laws provisions, regardless of your country of origin or where you access the Service.
Choice of Forum
Subject to Section 24 (Dispute Resolution & Arbitration), all judicial proceedings relating to or arising out of these Terms and Conditions or the Service shall be brought in the state or federal courts sitting in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Both parties hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and waive any objections to venue in those courts.
Dispute Resolution & Arbitration
ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR THE SERVICE AND SEEKING MONETARY RELIEF SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ACCORDING TO THIS SECTION.
Prior to initiating any arbitration, the party seeking arbitration (“Claimant”) must first send a written Notice of Claim to the other party (“Respondent”) by email or USPS Certified Mail. This Notice must contain the Claimant’s name, address, and contact information; the identity of counsel (if any); the nature and basis of the claim; and the specific relief sought. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Notice, the parties shall engage in at least one good-faith settlement conference by telephone or video conference. An individual party must be personally present at this settlement conference, and an entity party must be present at this settlement conference through an employee with settlement authority, though both parties may bring counsel as well. Arbitration shall be initiated only if no settlement can be reached at this settlement conference.
The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) according to its Consumer Arbitration Rules, Procedures for the Resolution of Disputes Through Document Submission, Consumer Fee Schedule, and Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings (“AAA Rules”), and the provisions of this section. Where they conflict, the provisions of this section shall take precedence over any AAA Rules. If the AAA is unavailable to conduct an arbitration, the parties shall arbitrate through another mutually agreed upon organization or on an ad hoc basis according to the rules in this section. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.
If a claim is within the jurisdiction of a small claims court, either party may choose to have the case heard in the small claims court on an individual basis, instead of arbitration.
If twenty-five (25) or more similar Demands for Arbitration are filed against or on behalf of the same party or related parties, and if representation of the parties is consistent or coordinated across the cases, then the AAA’s Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings shall apply. Counsel filing twenty-five (25) or more similar Demands for Arbitration against Vocabloo must comply with the AAA’s Filing Requirements for Multiple Case Filings. There shall be no class or collective arbitration, or joinder of claims, except as provided for in the AAA’s Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings.
If you do not want to arbitrate disputes with Vocabloo and you are an individual, you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending an email to legal@vocabloo.com within 30 days of the day you first access or use the Service.
Notwithstanding the above, either party may apply for and obtain non-monetary, injunctive remedies or urgent relief in court without engaging in any arbitration or informal dispute resolution process.

This agreement was originally written in English (US). To the extent any translated version of this agreement conflicts with the English version, the English version controls.

Miscellaneous
These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between Vocabloo and you concerning the subject matter hereof. In the event that any of the Terms and Conditions are held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provisions shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms and Conditions shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. A waiver by Vocabloo or you of any provision of these Terms and Conditions or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof.
