Terms of Use for CAPN Service

Welcome to CAPN. Our goal at CAPN is to help you stay safe by providing a network to coordinate responses in situations you feel unsafe.

 

These Terms of Use along with all supplemental terms that may be presented to you for your review and acceptance (“Terms”) are between you and CAPN, LLC (CAPN). These Terms govern your access to and use of CAPN’s service(s) (by whatever name such service(s) may be known), including the “CAPN” mobile application (“App”). Your access to and use of the Services is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. By accessing or using the Services you agree to be bound by these Terms.

THESE TERMS REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS, AND ALSO LIMITS THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE. PLEASE CAREFULLY REVIEW SECTION 11 BELOW FOR MORE INFORMATION.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT SECTION 5 OF THE TERMS CONTAINS YOUR OPT-IN CONSENT TO RECEIVE COMMUNICATIONS FROM US, INCLUDING, AS APPLICABLE, VIA E-MAIL, TEXT MESSAGE, CALLS AND PUSH NOTIFICATION.

1. Basic Terms

YOU HEREBY REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE DULY AWARE THAT THE ACTIVITIES IN WHICH YOU MAY BE PARTICIPATING IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF THE SERVICES AND/OR THE CAPTURING OF CONTENT TO BE UPLOADED TO THE SERVICES MAY INVOLVE RISKS. YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND ASSUME THESE RISKS AND YOU HEREBY ELECT, VOLUNTARILY, TO ENGAGE IN SUCH ACTIVITIES. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT: (A) YOU ARE OVER THE AGE OF EIGHTEEN (18); (B) YOU UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACTIVITIES YOU MAY ENGAGE IN; (C) YOU UNDERSTAND THAT (I) YOU SHOULD NOT TRAVEL TO OR REMAIN IN ANY AREA DURING, BEFORE, OR AFTER A CRIME OR OTHER HAZARDOUS SITUATION, (II) ANY ACTION OR FAILURE TO ACT BY YOU IN TRAVELING TO OR REMAINING IN SUCH AN AREA CONSTITUTES A BREACH OF THESE TERMS (D) YOU ARE OF SOUND MIND AND PHYSICAL HEALTH; (E) ANY INJURIES OR OTHER DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU WILL NOT BE COMPENSABLE BY WORKERS COMPENSATION, ANY OTHER INSURANCE PROGRAM MAINTAINED BY CAPN; AND (F) YOU WILL NOT INCITE, ENCOURAGE, CAUSE, OR ENGAGE IN ANY CRIMINAL, HAZARDOUS, ILLEGAL OR OTHERWISE UNSAFE ACTIVITY IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

You are responsible for your use of the Services.

You may use the Services only if you are 18 years of age, you can form a binding contract with CAPN and are not a person barred from receiving or using Services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. If you are accepting these Terms and using the Services on behalf of a company, organization, government, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to do so. You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations.

The Services that CAPN provides are always evolving, and the form and nature of the Services may change from time to time without prior notice to you. In addition, CAPN may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Services (or any features within the Services) to you or to users generally and may not be able to provide you with prior notice. You may need to update third-party software from time to time in order to use the Service. CAPN also retains the right to create limits on use at CAPN’s sole discretion at any time without prior notice to you.

In order to use the Service in any manner, you must enable your mobile device as follows: to receive push notifications from the App; to permit the App to access both the camera and microphone for your device (at your election); and to permit the App to access your location (even in the background, i.e., when the App is not open on your device). (For example, the Service is designed to deliver push notifications to users within a certain radius of a reported incident.) If you do not enable your mobile device accordingly (including enabling any additional features or functions that CAPN elects to make mandatory for use of the App), the App will not function on your device.

The purpose of the aforementioned data is providing a safer, more reliable service for you. For example, in the event you are fleeing an unsafe situation and don’t have your app actively running, we need to be able to continuously track your location and send push notifications. Without these permissions, a CAPN provider will not be able to determine to your new location or send you key updates about their arrival. 

You must provide all equipment and software necessary to connect to the Service, including but not limited to, a mobile device that is suitable to connect with and use the App.  You are solely responsible for any fees, including internet connection or mobile fees, that you incur when accessing the Service.  

2. Privacy

Any information that you provide to CAPN, as well as any information that CAPN otherwise collects via the Services and your use thereof, is subject to our Privacy Policy, which governs our collection and use of such information. You understand that through your use of the Services you consent to the collection and use (as set forth in the Privacy Policy) of this information, including the transfer of this information to the United States and/or other countries for storage, processing and use by CAPN. As part of providing you the Services, CAPN may need to provide you with certain communications, such as announcements regarding the Services and administrative messages. These communications are considered part of the Services and your account, which you may not be able to opt out from receiving.

3. Service Access Credentials

You are responsible for safeguarding the mobile telephone number, user name, password or other credentials that you use to access to the Services and for any activities or actions under your account. CAPN cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized access to your account resulting from your failure to safeguard your device and/or such credentials.

4. Your License to Use the Services

CAPN grants you a personal, revocable, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable and non-exclusive license to use the software that is provided to you by CAPN as part of the Services. This license is for the sole purpose of enabling you to use and enjoy the benefit of the Services as provided by CAPN, in the manner permitted by these Terms, including the terms of Section 9, below.

With respect to any App accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store (an “App Store Sourced Application”), you will only use such App Store Sourced Application (a) on an Apple-branded product that runs iOS (Apple’s proprietary operating system) and (b) as permitted by the “Usage Rules” set forth in the Apple App Store Terms of Service. Notwithstanding the first sentence in this section, with respect to any App accessed through or downloaded from the Google Play store (a “Google Play Sourced Application”), you may have additional license rights with respect to use of  such Google Play Sourced Application on a shared basis within your designated family group.

5. CAPN Communications

By agreeing to the Terms or using the Service, you agree to receive communications from us, including via e-mail, text message, calls, and push notifications.  You agree that texts, calls or prerecorded messages may be generated by automatic telephone dialing systems.  Communications from us and our affiliated companies may include but are not limited to: operational communications concerning your account or the use of the Service, updates concerning new and existing features on the Service, communications concerning promotions run by us or our third-party partners, and news concerning CAPN and industry developments.  Standard text messaging charges applied by your cell phone carrier will apply to text messages that we send.  IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF PROMOTIONAL EMAILS, YOU CAN UNSUBSCRIBE FROM OUR PROMOTIONAL EMAIL LIST BY FOLLOWING THE UNSUBSCRIBE OPTIONS IN THE PROMOTIONAL EMAIL ITSELF.  IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF TEXT MESSAGES, YOU CAN REPLY "STOP".

You understand that we do not conduct screenings of our users of any kind. We also do not conduct criminal background, credit, business or identity verification checks on our users or attempt to verify the statements of our users. We make no representations or warranties as to the conduct of any of our users.

8. On-Demand Security Request Services

 

The Services may include a feature where you may request on-demand physical security services. By making such requests, the Services may connect you with provider of physical security services in your area (“Security Provider”).

 

By using the Services, you hereby acknowledge and agree to the following:

 

  • Neither we nor any Security Provider dispatched through our Services can guarantee your physical safety nor the protection of any real, personal or tangible property.

 

  • We do not guarantee or warrant the availability of any Security Provider to provide you any requested security services. The availability or response time of any Security Provider is dependent on many factors, including the availability of Security Providers in your area, traffic, weather, nature of the incident, etc.

 

  • The Security Providers are personnel retained by independent security firms with whom we contract as part of our Services. As such, we do not control the actions of any Security Providers. In responding to a response incident, such Security Providers will act in their sole discretion on how to respond to a situation, which may include the discretion to call 911 or other relevant service providers without further discussion with you and without your express consent.  Such response may also include use of physical and sometimes deadly force to respond to an incident, which may cause bodily injury or death to persons, including you, and cause damage to property. You understand that we are not responsible for the conduct of any Security Provider and your request for security services shall be at your sole risk.

 

  • Without limiting the foregoing, we make no warranty and disclaim all responsibility and liability for the availability, timeliness, security, reliability, effectiveness and any acts or omissions of any Security Provider. We do not guarantee any particular outcomes with respect to our Services or use of any Security Provider.

 

  • We do not endorse any Security Provider or their security firms. Other than general diligence using publicly available information derived from basic internet research with respect to security firms with whom we contract, we do not conduct any criminal background, credit, business or identity verification checks on our Security Providers or their security firms.

 

9. Personal Responsibility

 

You acknowledge and agree that you are free to contact 911 or other emergency services directly. Using the Services instead of contacting 911 or other emergency services directly is your choice and not required, and you assume any risks associated therewith. Further, you understand that the 911 operators, responders, and/or any nearby users operate independently from us, and we cannot be responsible for their acts or omissions.

 

You agree that Security Providers are not required to make a response condition a publicly available incident. You agree that we are not responsible for the actions of any Security Providers responding to your request for security services.

 

You acknowledge that the events that may result from your request of security services may be inherently dangerous, such as medical emergencies or law enforcement emergencies, in addition to the dangerous and emergency situations already taking place at the time of your request for security services. Such situations have the potential to inflict property damage, significant bodily harm, or death, and time is of the essence in responding to these events. You freely and expressly choose to incur all risks posed by using our Services to request security services.

 

You are responsible for complying with all local laws, rules, and regulations, with respect to using our Services and for responding to and complying with any responders such as the police.

 

 

10. Termination of these Terms

The Terms will continue to apply until terminated by either you or CAPN as follows.

You may end your legal agreement with CAPN at any time for any reason by deactivating your accounts and discontinuing your use of the Services. In order to deactivate your account, please do so by contacting us via the support center within the Services.

We may suspend or terminate your account or cease providing you with all or part of the Services at any time for any reason, including, but not limited to, if we reasonably believe: (i) you have violated these Terms, (ii) you create risk or possible legal exposure for us; or (iii) our provision of the Services to you is no longer commercially viable. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you by the email address associated with your account or through the Services the next time you attempt to access your account.

In all such cases, the Terms shall terminate, including, without limitation, your license to use the Services, except that the following sections shall continue to apply: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and any other provisions which should reasonably survive termination shall survive termination.

Nothing in this section shall affect CAPN’s rights to change, limit or stop the provision of the Services without prior notice, as provided herein.

11. Indemnity

You will indemnify and hold harmless CAPN and its officers, directors, employee and agents from and against any claims, disputes, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (i) your access to or use of the Services or Content, (ii) your Content, or (iii) your violation of these Terms.

12. Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability; Acknowledgement

Please read this section carefully since it limits the liability of CAPN and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, related companies, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, partners, and licensors (collectively, the “CAPN Entities”). Each of the subsections below only applies up to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties or the limitation of liability in contracts, and as a result the contents of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in this section is intended to limit any rights you may have which may not be lawfully limited.

A. The Services are Available “AS-IS”

Your access to and use of the Services or any Content are at your own risk. You understand and agree that the Services are provided to you on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. Without limiting the foregoing, THE CAPN ENTITIES DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

The CAPN Entities make no warranty and disclaim all responsibility and liability for: (i) the completeness, accuracy, availability, timeliness, security or reliability of the Services or any Content; (ii) any harm to your computer system or mobile device, loss of data, or other harm that results from your access to or use of the Services, or any Content; (iii) the deletion of, or the failure to store or to transmit, any Content and other communications maintained by the Services; or (iv) any claim that the Services do not meet your requirements or are not available on an uninterrupted, secure, or error-free basis. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from the CAPN Entities or through the Services, will create any warranty not expressly made herein.

B. Links

The Services may contain links to third-party websites or resources. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible or liable for: (i) the availability or accuracy of such websites or resources; or (ii) the content, products, or services on or available from such websites or resources. Links to such websites or resources do not imply any endorsement by CAPN Entities of such websites or resources or the content, products, or services available from such websites or resources. You acknowledge sole responsibility for and assume all risk arising from your use of any such websites or resources.

C. Release

YOU HEREBY RELEASE THE CAPN ENTITIES FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, ACTIONS, AND CAUSES OF ACTION, WHATSOEVER, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY LOSS, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PHYSICAL INJURY, CONTAGIOUS DISEASE OR DEATH THAT MAY BE SUSTAINED BY YOU WHILE USING OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF THE SERVICES AND/OR THE CAPTURING OF CONTENT TO BE UPLOADED TO THE SERVICES. THIS RELEASE WILL BE BINDING UPON YOUR RELATIVES, SPOUSE, HEIRS, NEXT OF KIN, EXECUTORS, ADMINISTRATORS, AND ANY OTHER INTEREST PARTIES.

You waive and relinquish any and all rights and benefits otherwise conferred by any statutory or non-statutory law of any jurisdiction that would purport to limit the scope of a release or waiver, including any all rights and benefits which you have or may have under California Civil Code Section 1542 or any similar provision of the statutory or non-statutory law of any other jurisdiction (including without limitation Missouri, Delaware and Pennsylvania) to the full extent that you may lawfully waive all such rights and benefits. You acknowledge that the releases in these Terms are intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by law, and as a complete and continuous release and waiver of liability for any and all use of the Services.

D. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE CAPN ENTITIES 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, GOOD-WILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM (I) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES; (II) ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF OTHER USERS OR THIRD PARTIES; (III) ANY CONTENT OBTAINED FROM THE SERVICES; OR (IV) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR CONTENT.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE CAPN ENTITIES HEREUNDER EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (U.S. $100.00).

THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS SUBSECTION SHALL APPLY TO ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, STATUTE, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY CAPN ENTITY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH DAMAGE, AND EVEN IF A REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms and the relationship between you and CAPN will be governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without giving effect to any choice of laws principles that would require the application of the laws of a different country or state. Except for a claim by CAPN of infringement or misappropriation of CAPN’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret, any and all disputes between you and CAPN arising under or related in any way to these Terms must be resolved through binding arbitration as described in this section. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be interpreted broadly. It includes, but is not limited to, all claims and disputes relating to your use of the Services.

YOU AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND CAPN ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU AND CAPN AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED.

(a) Any and all controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action (including the interpretation and scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of the controversy, dispute, demand, count, claim, or cause of action) between you and us and our employees, agents, successors, or assigns, regarding or relating to the Services or these Terms shall exclusively be settled through binding and confidential arbitration.

(b) Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitration shall be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). As modified by these Terms, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s rules for commercial arbitration and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the procedures for consumer-related disputes.

(c) You are thus GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights EXCEPT for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.

(d) You and we must abide by the following rules: (1) any claims brought by you or us must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding; (2) 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, (3) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to 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, (4) we also reserve the right in our sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all of the costs of the arbitration; (5) the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (6) the arbitrator’s award shall be final and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction; (7) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law; and (8) each side pays 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 then in such instance, the fees and costs awarded shall be determined by the applicable law.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or we may bring an individual action in small claims court. Further, claims of infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret shall not be subject to this arbitration agreement. Such claims shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in Seattle, Washington. Additionally, notwithstanding these Terms to arbitrate, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before the state or federal courts located in Seattle, Washington in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, and hereby agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Seattle, Washington for such purpose. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.

(f) With the exception of subparts (1) and (2) in the paragraph 14(d) above (prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis), if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Agreement, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, either subparts (1) and (2) in such paragraph (prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor we shall be entitled to arbitration. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought in state or federal court in Seattle, Washington.

(g) Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, if we seek to terminate the Dispute Resolution section as included in these Terms, any such termination shall not be effective until 30 days after the version of these Terms not containing the agreement to arbitrate is posted to the Services, and shall not be effective as to any claim of which you provided us with written notice prior to the date of termination. For more information on AAA, its Rules and Procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at http://www.adr.org.

14. App Stores

You acknowledge and agree that the availability of the App and the Service is dependent on the third party from whom you received the App license, e.g., the Apple App Store or Google Play (each, an “App Store”).  You acknowledge that the Terms are between you and CAPN and not with the App Store.  CAPN, not the App Store, is solely responsible for the Service, including the App, the content thereof, maintenance, support services, and warranty therefor, and addressing any claims relating thereto (e.g., product liability, legal compliance or intellectual property infringement).  In order to use the App, you must have access to a wireless network, and you agree to pay all fees associated with such access.  You also agree to pay all fees (if any) charged by the App Store in connection with the Service, including the App.  You agree to comply with, and your license to use the App is conditioned upon your compliance with all terms of agreement imposed by the applicable App Store when using any Service, including the App. You acknowledge that the App Store (and its subsidiaries) are third-party beneficiaries of the Terms and will have the right to enforce it.

15. Accessing and Downloading the App from iTunes

The following applies to any App Store Sourced Application accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store: 

(a) You acknowledge and agree that (i) the Terms are concluded between you and CAPN only, and not Apple, and (ii) CAPN, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App Store Sourced Application and content thereof. Your use of the App Store Sourced Application must comply with the App Store Terms of Service. 

(b) You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App Store Sourced Application. 

(c) In the event of any failure of the App Store Sourced Application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App Store Sourced Application to you and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App Store Sourced Application. As between CAPN and Apple, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of CAPN. 

(d) You and CAPN acknowledge that, as between CAPN and Apple, Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third party relating to the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of the App Store Sourced Application, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App Store Sourced Application fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.

(e) You and CAPN acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of that App Store Sourced Application infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, as between CAPN and Apple, CAPN, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by the Terms. 

(f) You and CAPN acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of the Terms as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce the Terms as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof. 

(g) Without limiting any other terms of the Terms, you must comply with all applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App Store Sourced Application.

16. General Terms

The failure of CAPN to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. In the event that any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without CAPN’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. CAPN may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

Any notices or other communications provided by CAPN under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by email, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire and exclusive agreement between CAPN and you regarding the Services (excluding any services for which you have a separate agreement with CAPN that is explicitly in addition to or in place of these Terms), and these Terms supersede and replace any prior agreements between CAPN and you regarding the Services and Content.

 

We may revise these Terms from time to time, the most current version will always be available within the Services. If the revision, in our sole discretion, is material we will notify you via email to the email associated with your account or through the Services. If you do not wish to be bound by any such revisions to the Terms, you must end these Terms with us as set forth in Section 10 above. By continuing to access or use the Services after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms.

These Services are operated and provided by CAPN, LLC. If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact us.
