Welcome! We’re happy to have you here, and hope you find TchaiTime delightful to use.

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) apply to your use of TchaiTime’s websites, products and services. Please read these Terms carefully; by using TchaiTime, you agree to be bound by them.

CONTENT

What you see on TchaiTime may be protected by one or more laws regarding intellectual property. You’ll find a few different types of material on our service, so let’s break it down.

• TchaiTime’s Service, Products, and Brand

Our service and products are protected by copyright, trademark, patent and other laws. TchaiTime gives you a personal, worldwide, non-assignable license to use the software we provide you for your own personal, non-commercial use. This license lets you use TchaiTime solely as permitted by these Terms.

Unauthorized use of any of TchaiTime’s trademarks, logos, domain names or other distinctive brand features is prohibited.

• Service Use Guidelines

You promise to use the service only for lawful purposes, and to not violate the rights of third parties. Our Community Guidelines, which are part of these Terms, contain more information about acceptable and unacceptable uses of the service. Any unacceptable use, including posting or collecting content that is obscene, pornographic, gory, illegal, threatening or harassing, excessively violent or promoting the harm of self or others, may result in immediate termination of your account and suspension of service access in the future.

• Your Content

You can post your own content on TchaiTime, including articles, photos, comments and other content.

You—and you alone—own the rights to the content you create and publish through TchaiTime. By posting it, you give us permission to use your content to do what we reasonably believe necessary to provide our service both now and in the future including storing, displaying, reproducing and distributing your content. This might also include promoting your content with partner companies or services for broader broadcast, distribution or publication via TchaiTime.

You’re responsible for the content you publish through TchaiTime and assume all risk associated with it, including anyone else’s reliance on its accuracy or legal claims that might stem from publication. By posting content on TchaiTime, you represent that you have the necessary rights to publish that material, that doing so doesn’t conflict with any licenses you may have granted to others and that to the best of your knowledge the content you publish is not intentionally misleading.

We don’t pre-screen anyone’s content. However, we have the right to review and remove or disable access to any content through TchaiTime for any reason. We assume no liability for anything that you or anyone else publishes through TchaiTime.

TchaiTime also contains links to websites, services, content and advertisements that we don’t own or control. We don’t necessarily endorse or assume responsibility for that stuff, either.

PRIVACY

Our Privacy Policy explains our collection and use of information on the service, including information you may consider personal. You consent to the information practices described in that policy as it may be updated from time to time.

SECURITY

We take the security of TchaiTime very seriously. We use reasonable practices to protect the security of your account and data associated with it, but we can’t guarantee that someone won’t be able to defeat our security measures. Please let us know immediately if you discover any compromise of your account.

We are always on the lookout for security loopholes in TchaiTime. If you discover a vulnerability in our service, we would be grateful for your report and encourage you to let us know immediately.

To report a vulnerability, please email contact@tchaitime.com.

CHILD PRIVACY

We love kids as much as anyone, but TchaiTime is only for people 13 years old and older. If we learn a child under 13 is using our service, we’ll have to terminate the child’s account.

COPYRIGHT

TchaiTime complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. We respond to takedown notices and have a policy of terminating repeat infringers when appropriate. For more information, see our Copyright Policy.

CHANGES TO OUR SERVICE

TchaiTime is a dynamic product, always getting better. As a result, we may change, eliminate or restrict access to our products or any part of our service at any time, for any reason, with or without advance notice. And we may do so with respect to one, some or all of our users.

DISCLAIMERS

TchaiTime is provided “as is” without any warranties, express or implied.

TchaiTime disclaims all warranties and conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent allowed by law, TchaiTime shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill or other intangible losses resulting from (A) your access to, use of, inability to access or inability to use TchaiTime; (B) any third party conduct or content on TchaiTime, including any defamatory, offensive or illegal conduct of third parties; or (C) any unauthorized access, use or alteration of your content.

ARBITRATION

If you become disgruntled with TchaiTime for any reason, we’d like the opportunity to work out our differences informally. We strongly encourage you to visit our Help Center, and we’ll do our best to resolve the dispute in good faith.

If we aren’t able to solve the problem that way, we both agree that we will resolve any claims arising from these Terms or the TchaiTime service by final and binding arbitration through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. If you win an arbitration award that’s more generous than any offer we made to settle the dispute, TchaiTime will pay you $1,500 on top of the award.

The arbitration will take place in the United States county where you live or work, Palo Alto, California or another location we both agree upon. Either of us may file a lawsuit in court solely for injunctive relief against the other to stop misuse of TchaiTime or intellectual property infringement without first going through arbitration.

You agree to resolve any dispute you have with us on an individual basis in arbitration, and not as a class arbitration, class action or consolidated proceeding of any kind.

GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

These Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of California, except for its conflict of laws principles.

For claims that aren’t subject to arbitration, we each agree that any such claims shall be litigated exclusively in a state court located in Santa Clara County, California or in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms and our Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and TchaiTime. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to be in full force and effect.

MODIFICATION

These Terms may be modified from time to time. The date of the most recent revisions will always be at https://tchaitime.com/terms, and older versions are available upon request. If we make changes that we believe will substantially alter your rights, we will notify you by posting a notice on our website. You agree to accept any changes or revisions to these Terms by continuing to use TchaiTime.

CONTACT

We welcome all questions, concerns and feedback you might have about these terms. If you have suggestions for us, please visit our Help Center and let us know.
