  1. Text Messages: You may be given opportunities to subscribe to various text marketing or other text messaging programs and by doing so, you consent to receive ongoing text alerts (including by auto-dialers) from us related to our various businesses and affiliates, which may include co-promotions with or about other parties, except that if the scope of your consent for a particular subscription is limited that subscription will be so limited. For each subscription, text “HELP” for help and text “STOP” to terminate (i.e., opt-out) of that subscription. Subsequent or different subscriptions will be unaffected by an opt-out. You consent to receive a text confirming any opt-out as well as non-marketing administrative or transactional messages. For subscriptions to recurring text messages, you may receive up to the number of text messages per month specified in your consent, or to which you later consent.

Please note that we reserve the right to send you certain communications relating to your account or use of our Services, such as administrative and service announcements and these transactional account messages may be unaffected if you choose to opt-out from receiving our marketing communications.

Location-Based Features

Because the purpose of the Services is to verify your location for legal and regulatory reasons, location-based features must be enabled in order for the Services to operate properly. You may receive a prompt or instructions on your Device if you have not properly enabled location-based features or if you require additional information to properly utilize the Services. If GPS, geo-location or other location-based features are enabled on your Device, you acknowledge that your Device location and other information may be tracked and may be shared with others as described in the Privacy Policy. Some Devices and platforms may allow disabling location-based features or managing such preferences; though, you will not be able to use the Services without having those features enabled. You can terminate Device location tracking on a mobile application by uninstalling the application. The location-based services that may be offered in connection with the Services are for individual use only and should not be used or relied on in any situation in which the failure or inaccuracy of use of the location-based services could lead directly to death, personal injury, or physical or property damage. Use location-based services at your own risk as location data may not be accurate.

Accounts

Certain features of the Services may require you to create an account and become a registered user. It is 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 do not, we may suspend or terminate your account. We reserve the right to initiate forfeiture of any username for any reason or to disable any log-on ID, at any time, if in our opinion you fail to comply with any of the provisions of these Terms or if any details provided are proved or suspected to be false.

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, whether or not you are aware of them. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols) with your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements. If your account is hacked or any third parties use your account, you should immediately notify us and follow our instructions. We may restrict usage, terminate, and/or delete any account at any time in our sole discretion.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made using our Services. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.

Advertisements

The Services may include advertisements, which may be targeted to the Content on the Services, queries made through the Services, or other information. The types and extent of advertising on the Services are subject to change. In consideration for us granting you access to and use of the Services, you agree that GeoComply and its affiliates, third party providers, and partners may place such advertising on the Services or in connection with the display of Content or information from the Services whether submitted by you or others, unless otherwise provided. Please review our Privacy Policy for further information regarding advertising and your choices.

Promotions

Any GeoComply-sponsored sweepstakes, contests, or other promotions will be governed by a separate set of rules or terms and conditions. However, for certain promotions the following general rules in this paragraph apply absent any supplemental official rules or conditions or any contrary terms in the supplemental official rules or conditions for the promotion. Your promotion entry shall be considered a Submission and is subject to all provisions of these Terms. We may disqualify entries that are late, misdirected, incomplete, corrupted, lost, illegible, or invalid. Use of automated entries, votes, or other programs is prohibited and all such entries (or votes) will be disqualified. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, cancel, or terminate a promotion, extend and/or resume the entry period, or disqualify any participant or entry, at any time, for any or no reason, without giving advance notice. We may do so in the event that we cannot guarantee the promotion will be carried out fairly or correctly for technical, legal, or other reasons, or if we suspect that any person has manipulated entries or results, provided false information, or acted unethically. If we cancel or terminate a promotion, prizes may be awarded as provided in that promotion’s official rules. The Services may contain certain contest or sweepstakes-based mechanisms that are not available in all jurisdictions.

Arbitration and Dispute Resolution Terms

PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION TERMS SECTION (“DISPUTE SECTION”) CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS.  IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

  1. Forum Selection/Jurisdiction. Jurisdiction and venue for any controversy, allegation, or claim arising out of or relating to the Service, the Content, your UGC, these Terms, any applicable Additional Terms, or our Privacy Policy, (collectively, “Dispute”) shall be in Las Vegas, Nevada. Each party submits to personal jurisdiction and venue Las Vegas, Nevada, for any and all purposes.
  2. Pre-Arbitration Notification. GeoComply and you agree that it would be advantageous to discuss and hopefully resolve any Disputes before formal proceedings are initiated; provided, however, that GeoComply need not do so in circumstances where its claims of Intellectual Property rights are concerned (“IP Disputes,” with all other disputes referred to as “General Disputes”). The party making a claim – whether you or GeoComply – shall send a letter to the other side briefly summarizing the claim and the request for relief. If GeoComply is making a claim, the letter shall be sent, via email, to the email address listed in your GeoComply account, if applicable. If no such information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no notification or delay obligations under this Disputes Section.  If you are making a claim, the letter shall be sent to GeoComply, Attn: General Counsel, 8329 West Sunset Road, Suite 280, Las Vegas NV 89113 U.S.A. If the Dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days after notification, the claimant may proceed to initiate proceedings as set forth in this Disputes Section. Either you or GeoComply, however, may seek provisional remedies (such as preliminary injunctive relief, subject to subsection D in this Disputes Section) before the expiration of this sixty (60)-day period.
  3. Arbitration of Claims. Unless you give us notice of opt-out within thirty (30) business days of your first use of the Service, addressed to: GeoComply, Attn: General Counsel, 8329 West Sunset Road, Suite 280, Las Vegas NV 89113 U.S.A.  or privacy@newgeocomply.stage, all  actions or proceedings arising in connection with, touching upon or relating to any Dispute, or the scope of the provisions of this Section, shall be submitted to JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) for final and binding arbitration under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures if the matter in dispute is over $250,000 or under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures if the matter in dispute is $250,000 or less, to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, before a single arbitrator. If the matter in dispute is between GeoComply and a consumer, the matter shall be submitted to JAMS in accordance with its Policy on Consumer Arbitration Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, then by striking from a list of arbitrators supplied by JAMS.  We may have the right to pay the JAMS fees if required for arbitration to be enforceable.  The arbitration shall be a confidential proceeding, closed to the general public; provided, however, that a party may disclose information relating to the arbitration proceedings to its and its affiliates’ lawyers, insurance providers, auditors and other professional advisers.  The fact that there is a dispute between the parties that is the subject of arbitration shall be confidential to the same extent. The arbitrator shall issue a written opinion stating the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator’s award is based.  Neither party shall be entitled or permitted to commence or maintain any action in a court of law with respect to any matter in dispute until such matter shall have been submitted to arbitration as herein provided and then only for the enforcement of the arbitrator’s award; provided, however, that prior to the appointment of the arbitrator or for remedies beyond the jurisdiction of an arbitrator, at any time, either party may seek pendente lite relief (subject to the provisions of these Terms waiving or limiting that relief) in a court of competent jurisdiction in Las Vegas, Nevada, or, if sought by GeoComply, such other court that may have jurisdiction over you, without thereby waiving its right to arbitration of the dispute or controversy under this Section; provided further, however, that the losing party shall have fifteen (15) business days after the issuance of the arbitrator’s decision to fully comply with such decision, after which the prevailing party may enforce such decision by a petition to the Eighth Judicial District Court in Clark County, Nevada or, in the case of you, such other court having jurisdiction over you, which may be made ex parte, for confirmation and enforcement of the award.
  4. Limitation on Injunctive Relief. AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE INCURRED ANY LOSS, DAMAGES, OR INJURIES IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, THEN THE LOSSES, DAMAGES, AND INJURIES WILL NOT BE DEEMED IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE YOU TO AN INJUNCTION OR TO OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF OF ANY KIND. THIS MEANS (WITHOUT LIMITATION) THAT, IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR CLAIM, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT SEEK, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN, ANY COURT OR OTHER ACTION THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH OR PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OR EXPLOITATION OF ANY WEBSITE, APPLICATION, CONTENT, UGC, PRODUCT, SERVICE, OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNED, LICENSED, USED, OR CONTROLLED BY ANY GEOCOMPLY PARTY (DEFINED BELOW) (INCLUDING YOUR LICENSED UGC) OR A LICENSOR OF ANY GEOCOMPLY PARTY.
  5. Governing Law. These Terms and any applicable Additional Terms, General Disputes and IP Disputes, and any other claim brought by you against GeoComply or by GeoComply against you pursuant to this Disputes Section, or otherwise related to the Service, Content, GeoComply Licensed Elements, UGC or other GeoComply products or services, will be governed by, construed, and resolved in accordance with, the laws of the state of Nevada, U.S.A., without regard to its conflicts of law provisions that might apply the laws of another jurisdiction, unless the applicable laws of your jurisdiction of residence require that the laws of such jurisdiction govern, in which case the laws of such jurisdiction are to govern.   This Disputes Section shall be governed solely by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1, et seq., and not by the law of any state, and is enforceable pursuant to its terms on a self-executing basis. You and GeoComply agree that we intend that this Disputes Section satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act.  This Disputes Section can only be amended by mutual agreement.  Either party may seek enforcement of this Disputes Section in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall determine any and all challenges to the arbitrability of a claim.
  6. Class Action Waiver. As permitted by applicable law, both you and GeoComply waive the right to bring any Dispute as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action, or to participate in a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action regarding any Dispute brought by anyone else. Notwithstanding any provision in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures to the contrary, the arbitrator shall not have the authority or any jurisdiction to hear the arbitration as a class, consolidated, representative, or private attorney general action or to consolidate, join, or otherwise combine the Disputes of different persons into one proceeding. Notwithstanding the arbitration provision set forth above, if the provision regarding waiver of class, collective, representative, and private attorney general claims of this Disputes Section is found to be void or otherwise unenforceable, any such class, collective, representative, or private attorney general claims must be heard and determined through an appropriate court proceeding, and not in arbitration.
  7. Jury Waiver. AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ALL CLAIMS AND ISSUES ARISING UNDER, IN CONNECTION WITH, TOUCHING UPON OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE BREACH THEREOF AND/OR THE SCOPE OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT, AND INCLUDING ANY CLAIM FOR FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT THEREOF.
  8. Small Claims Matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of us may bring qualifying claim of General Dispute (but not IP Disputes) in small claims court, subject to subsection F of this Disputes Section.
  9. The provisions of this Disputes Section shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of any prior agreement between the parties. This Section 8 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any termination of your use of the Service or these Terms.
