Purpose

(a) Thanks for using GoVyrl, and our related services, including our Carro application (“Carro”)!

(c) GoVyrl, Inc. is headquartered in the State of California in the United States (“we,” “us,” “our,” and “GoVyrl”) and operates a variety of websites (“Websites”) and online marketing services and applications, including Carro (each an “Application,” and together with the Websites and other services, the “Services”).  The Services enable our Customers to, among other things, identify and communicate with influential customers for marketing purposes.  We also provide other related services, such as real-time data analytics.  Find out more about our Services at www.vyrl.co and www.getcarro.com.

It’s important that you review the Agreement or Supplementary Terms, as applicable, whenever we update them or you use the Services.  If you continue to use the Services after we have posted the updated Agreement or Supplementary Terms it means that you accept and agree to the changes.  If you don’t agree to this Agreement or any of the Supplementary Terms, you must immediately discontinue your use of the Services and any applicable additional features.  Because our Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services and additional features, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.

(g) The success of our Services depends on the adherence to the terms of this Agreement by you and other Customers.  While we will do our best to enforce the terms of this Agreement, we cannot warrant or represent that other Customers will in fact adhere to this Agreement and cannot act as insurers or accept any liability for their failure to do so.

Good Samaritan Content Policy & Complaint Procedures

- (a) Policy. It is the policy of the owners and operators of the Services to not tolerate any acts of intellectual property infringement or violations of U.S. law or to allow for any child pornography or obscene or defamatory material to be posted through the Services. We will do our best, in good faith, to purge or otherwise restrict the availability of material that is infringing, racist, sexist, obscene, harassing, or otherwise objectionable. The provisions of this Section 8 are intended to implement this policy but are not intended to impose a contractual obligation on the owners or operators of the Services to undertake, or refrain from undertaking, any particular course of conduct.

- (b) Complaint Procedures.  If you believe that someone has posted material through the Services which infringes the intellectual property or other rights of third parties or which is in violation of U.S. law or which is racist, sexist, obscene, harassing, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable, or which constitutes child pornography, we ask you to promptly notify us by email at the following address: support@getcarro.com. You must use this address if you want to ensure that your complaint is actually received by the appropriate person charged with responding to such communications.

- (c) Required Details for Complaints.  In order to respond as quickly as possible to any complaint, please provide us with as much detail as possible, including: (i) the nature of the right infringed or violated (including the registration numbers of any registered copyrights, trademarks or patents allegedly infringed); (ii) all facts which lead you to believe that a right has been violated or infringed; (iii) the precise location where the offending material is located; (iv) any grounds to believe that the person who posted the material was not authorized to do so or did not have a valid defense (including the defense of fair use); and (v) if known, the identity of the person or persons who posted the infringing or offending material.

- (d) Indemnification/Waiver of Certain Rights.  By lodging a complaint, you agree that the substance of your complaint shall be deemed to constitute a representation made under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California. In addition, you agree, at your own expense, to defend us and indemnify us against any liability which we may incur by our response to your complaint.

-(e) Waiver of Claims and Remedies.  We expect Customers to take responsibility for their own actions, and, as set forth below in Sections 15 and 16, cannot assume liability for any acts of users or third parties which take place through the Services. By this Agreement, you acknowledge that in establishing a complaint procedure we are taking on the role of a Good Samaritan and, in order to allow us to do our best, in good faith, to purge or otherwise restrict the availability of material that is infringing, racist, sexist, obscene, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, you agree to waive any claims or remedies which you might otherwise be able to make against us under any theory of law (including, but not limited to, intellectual property laws) arising out of or relating in any way to the content of the Services or our response, or failure to respond, to a complaint.

- (f) Investigation/Right to Purge Postings.  You agree that we have the right (but not the obligation) to investigate any complaint received and, at any time and for any reason, to remove any material which you post to the Services, with or without your permission, and with or without cause, in our sole discretion. By reserving this right, we do not undertake any responsibility in fact to remove content posted online, whether or not a complaint has been received.

(a) Scope of Arbitration Agreement.  You agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or your access or use of the Services or as a consumer of our services, to any advertising or marketing communications regarding us or our Services, to any products or services sold or distributed through the Services that you received as a consumer, or to any aspect of your relationship or transactions with us as a consumer of our services will be resolved solely by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that: (i) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; and (ii) you or GoVyrl may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents).  This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of this Agreement.

IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH US, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY SUCH CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUIT.  INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST US IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING.  IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR.

(b) Arbitration Rules and Forum.  This Arbitration Agreement, and its interpretation and enforcement, is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act in all respects.  To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent, David Perry, 200 Spectrum Center Drive, suite 1260, Irvine CA 92618.  The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under its rules and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/.  JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com (under the Rules/Clauses tab) or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267.  Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitration fees will be governed by JAMS’s rules.  If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver of fees from JAMS, we will pay them for you.  In addition, we will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims with an amount in controversy totaling less than $10,000.  If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum.  You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, video conference, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location.

(c) Arbitrator Powers.  Except as provided in Section 17(a) above, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable.  The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and GoVyrl and determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party.  The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other proceedings or parties.  The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute.  The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual, and only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim, under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this Agreement (including this Arbitration Agreement).  The arbitrator will issue a written statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded.  The arbitrator shall follow the applicable law.  The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have.  The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on you and GoVyrl.

(d) Waiver of Jury Trial.  YOU AND GOVYRL WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND RECEIVE A JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL.  You and GoVyrl are instead electing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration, except as specified in Section 17(a) above.  There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.

(e) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions.  YOU AND GOVYRL AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RESOLVE CLAIMS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ON ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS.  ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS.  CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.  If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or dispute, neither you nor GoVyrl is entitled to arbitration of such claim or dispute.  Instead, all such claims and disputes will then be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 18.

(f) Severability.  Except as provided in Section 17(e) above, if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of this Arbitration Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Arbitration Agreement will still apply.

(g) Opt Out.  You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement.  If you do so, neither you nor GoVyrl can force the other to arbitrate as a result of this Agreement.  To opt out, you must notify GoVyrl in writing no later than thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement.  Your notice must include your name and address, your email address (if you have one), and a CLEAR statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement.  You must send your opt-out notice to: contact@getcarro.com.  If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you.  Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may have entered into with us or may enter into in the future with us.

(h) Survival.  This Arbitration Agreement will survive any termination of your relationship with us.

(i) Modification.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice of to us.

Exclusive Venue

To the extent the parties are permitted under this Agreement to initiate litigation in a court, both you and GoVyrl agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Agreement will be litigated exclusively within the State of California for courts situated in Orange County, California, or in federal court for the Central District of California.

Termination  

At our sole discretion, we may modify or discontinue the Services, or may modify, suspend or terminate your access to the Services, for any reason and at any time, with or without notice to you and without liability to you or any third party.  In addition to suspending or terminating your access to the Services, we reserve the right to take appropriate legal action, including pursuing civil, criminal or injunctive redress.  Even after your right to access and use the Services is terminated, this Agreement will remain enforceable against you.  Upon termination, by you or us: (a) you will cease any further use of the Services and any information that was made available to you prior to the termination; (b) all rights granted to you under this Agreement and Privacy Policy, will automatically terminate; and (c) certain data (e.g. content, submissions, etc.) may be deleted and you will have no right or claim in this respect.  All provisions which by their nature should survive to give effect to those provisions shall survive the termination of this Agreement, including Sections 7, 9, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20.

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under this Agreement will be without prejudice to its other remedies under this Agreement or otherwise.
