Mandatory End-User License Agreement Clauses. Customer will include, in a mandatory end-user license agreement for each Customer Application (“EULA”), in an agreement between Customer and each End User, legally enforceable provisions that are appropriate to the Customer Application, that obtain all necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions from the End User and that comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and that include: (a) all terms, disclosures and information necessary to comply with the terms of these Terms; (b) each End User’s consent to the collection, processing, storage, disclosure, and use by Hypermode and service providers of Customer Data and Usage Data, and the transfer of Customer Data and Usage Data to and between Hypermode and service providers (which may be in the United States or in other countries), in each case for the purposes of (i) providing the Hypermode Service to Customer and End Users, (ii) improving the Hypermode API and Hypermode Service, and (iii) as otherwise set forth under these Terms; and (c) all disclosures, notices and/or consents relating to artificial intelligence and privacy laws and regulations.

5. Payment

All The Payment Details You Should Know

10. General

A Few Other Essentials Not to Miss

Assignment. Hypermode may assign these Terms or any of its rights or obligations under these Terms without your prior written consent.

Government Use. The API Materials are “commercial items” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212.

Miscellaneous. These Terms are the sole agreement of the parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and it supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect to the subject matter. The headings in these Terms are inserted for convenience and are not intended to affect the interpretation. Waiver of any of these Terms or forbearance to enforce any term by either party will not constitute a waiver as to any subsequent breach or failure of the same term or a waiver of any other provision of these Terms. Any provision found to be unlawful, unenforceable or void will be severed from the remainder of these Terms, and it will continue in full force and effect without the severed provision. Customer agrees to comply with all applicable export control laws and regulations related to its use of Hypermode Technology, including those administered by the U.S. Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control or other governmental entity imposing export controls and trade sanctions (“Export Laws”), including designating countries, entities and persons (“Sanctions Targets”).

11. Privacy Policy and DPA

Your Privacy is Important to Us

Your use of the Hypermode Service is governed by our Privacy Policy and our Data Processing Addendum. [5] 

12. Binding Arbitration

How Do We Handle Disputes

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND GOVERNS HOW YOU AND HYPERMODE CAN BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER. THIS SECTION WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU AND HYPERMODE TO SUBMIT CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

You agree that, in the event any dispute or claim arises out of or relating to your use of the Services, You will contact us at legal@hypermode.com and You and Hypermode will attempt in good faith to negotiate a written resolution of the matter directly. You agree that if the matter remains unresolved for 30 days after notification (via certified mail or personal delivery), such matter will be deemed a “Dispute” as defined below.  Except for the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief described under the “Binding Arbitration” section below, should You file any arbitration claims or any administrative or legal actions without first having attempted to resolve the matter by mediation, then You agree that You will not be entitled to recover attorneys' fees, even if You may have been entitled to them otherwise.

Binding Arbitration. You and Hypermode agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or to your use of the Hypermode Technology (collectively “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. This means that You and Hypermode both agree to waive the right to a trial by jury. Notwithstanding the foregoing, You may bring a claim against Hypermode in “small claims” court, instead of by arbitration, but only if the claim is eligible under the rules of the small claims court and is brought in an individual, non-class, and non-representative basis, and only for so long as it remains in the small claims court and in an individual, non-class, and non-representative basis.

Class Action Waiver. You and Hypermode agree that any proceedings to resolve Disputes will be conducted on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. This means that You and Hypermode both agree to waive the right to participate as a plaintiff as a class member in any class action proceeding. Further, unless You and Hypermode agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator in any Dispute may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of class action proceeding.

Arbitration Administration and Rules. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Binding Arbitration” section. (The AAA Rules are available at http://www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879).

Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate the arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of California and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators with relevant experience. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with AAA Rules.

Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless You and Hypermode agree otherwise, the seat of the arbitration shall be in San Francisco, California. If your claim does not exceed USD $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents You and Hypermode submit to the arbitrator, unless You request a hearing and the arbitrator then determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds USD $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by AAA Rules. Subject to AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. Hearings may be conducted by telephone or video conference, if requested and agreed to by the parties.

Arbitrator’s Decision and Governing Law. The arbitrator shall apply California law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator will render an award within the timeframe specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any award of damages by an arbitrator must be consistent with the “Warranties; Disclaimer; Limitation of Liability” section above. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief in favor of the claimant only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

Fees. Each party’s responsibility to pay the arbitration filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will depend on the circumstances of the arbitration and are set forth in the AAA Rules.You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to: legal@hypermode.com with the subject line “HYPERMODE ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT”.  The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Hypermode Service, otherwise You shall be bound to arbitrate any disputes in accordance with the provisions of these Terms for binding arbitration.
