Freetouch retains all rights, title and interest in and to the Service not specifically granted to you hereunder.

You acknowledge that transmitting data over such networks or similar technologies is not 100% secure or free from risk of compromise.

- Disclaimers. THE SERVICE AND ALL DATA AND RESULTS MADE AVAILABLE BY OR THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” FREETOUCH MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Some jurisdictions do not allow some of the foregoing exclusions or limitations, so some of these exclusions or limitations may not apply to you.
- User-Provided Content. As between Freetouch and you, all materials that you provide or allow to be provided to or through the Service (“Your Content”) shall remain your exclusive property. You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for all of Your Content. You grant Freetouch a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, fully paid, worldwide license to use, copy, prepare derivative works of, distribute and display Your Content solely for purposes of providing the Service to you. You authorize Freetouch to store copies of any or all of Your Content as we deem necessary in order to facilitate the operation of the Service. You represent and warrant that you have all rights, consents, and permissions necessary to grant the foregoing license, without requiring the payment of any fees or charges. You shall not provide or allow to be provided to the Service any materials for which you do not have all necessary rights, consents, and permissions needed to so provide.
- Indemnity from You. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD HARMLESS FREETOUCH AND OUR SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, REPRESENTATIVES, AND EMPLOYEES, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DAMAGES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, COSTS, PENALTIES, FEES, OR EXPENSES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEYS’ FEES) INCURRED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN CONNECTION WITH (I) YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, (II) ANY OF YOUR CONTENT, OR (III) YOUR VIOLATION OF ANY OF THESE TERMS. Your obligations in this Section 10 do not apply to any claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, penalties, fees, or expenses of any kind to the extent arising from any act or omission of Freetouch or any of our successors, assigns, directors, officers, representatives, or employees.
- Limitations of Liability. IN NO EVENT WILL FREETOUCH BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR LOSS OR INACCURACY OF INFORMATION, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, EVEN IF THE CLAIM WAS REASONABLY FORESEEABLE OR IF FREETOUCH WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY. FREETOUCH’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS AND/OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, WILL NOT EXCEED $100. You acknowledge and agree that the foregoing limitations of liability are essential elements of the bargain and that in the absence of such limitations, the financial and other terms of these Terms would be substantially different. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so these limitations may not apply to you.
- Compliance with Law. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You may not export, re-export, import, or transfer the Service or any data available thereon in violation of any applicable export laws or regulations, and you may not assist or facilitate others in doing any of the foregoing. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with any and all applicable export and import laws.
- Security. You are prohibited from violating, or attempting to violate, the security of the Service. Any such violation may result in criminal and/or civil penalties against you. Freetouch will investigate any alleged or suspected violations and if a criminal violation is suspected, we will cooperate with law enforcement agencies in their investigations.
- Governing Law. These Terms shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state of California, without reference to its conflict of law provisions. These Terms shall not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded.
- Disputes. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or in connection with these Terms and/or your access to or use of the Service (“Dispute”) shall be resolved individually and exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS, by a single arbitrator selected, all in accordance with JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”). For more information on JAMS, the JAMS Rules, or the process for filing an arbitration claim, you may call JAMS at 800.352.5267 or visit the JAMS website at www.jamsadr.com. You and Freetouch agree to the following with respect to the arbitration of any Dispute hereunder: (a) ANY CLAIM MUST BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (b) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF; (c) the arbitration will be held at a location in your hometown area unless you and we both agree to another location or telephonic arbitration; (d) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation; (e) we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to assume responsibility for any or all of the costs of the arbitration; (f) the arbitrator will honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (g) the arbitration will be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by applicable law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award; (h) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are expressly permitted by applicable law; and (i) each party will pay its own attorneys’ fees and expenses, unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation expenses and the arbitrator awards such attorneys’ fees and expenses to the prevailing party, and, in such instance, the fees and costs awarded will be determined by the applicable law. ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, WHETHER ON AN INDIVIDUAL OR A CLASS BASIS, IS HEREBY WAIVED.
- Privacy. Freetouch may use certain information collected through the Service as set forth in our Privacy Policy (available here), which is incorporated by reference into these Terms.
- Miscellaneous. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed to the extent necessary to make it enforceable so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect. A waiver of any default is not a waiver of any subsequent default. You may not assign or otherwise transfer any of your rights hereunder without Freetouch’s prior written consent, and any such attempt is void. The parties acknowledge and agree that a material breach of these Terms adversely affecting Freetouch’s proprietary rights would cause irreparable harm to Freetouch for which a remedy at law would be inadequate and that Freetouch shall be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law. These Terms reflect the complete agreement between Freetouch and you concerning the Service, and supersedes any and all prior agreements and representations between Freetouch and you related to such subject matter.
