Please read all of the following terms and conditions of these sfara Terms of Service (the “Terms of Service”) carefully before accessing or using the sfara website at sfara.com (the “sfara Web site”) or the sfara mobile application (the “sfara App”) or using our Service (as defined below). sfara, Inc. (“we,” “us, “our” or “sfara”) operates the sfara Web site and the sfara App and provides the lone worker, fleet training, personal assistance and safety services described on the sfara Web site (collectively, the “Service”) based on the plan you have selected (the “Service Plan”) through our operations center and other facilities operated by our Service Partners (as defined in Section 5 below). The Service may be procured by individual/unique end users through the appropriate app store or via a special use code (“Individual Users”), additionally advanced services may be purchased and made available in bulk by a Enterprise or Organization to a group of users  (“Enterprise”, “Enterprise Users”), which may have distinctive terms, rights and responsibilities when specifically defined hereafter.

The Service does not function when (a) your device or its operating system is not compatible with the Service, (b) your device is not in good working order with operating system updates or its hardware or software is not working properly, (c) permissions are not enabled on your device, (d) your device is powered off or does not have battery power, or (e) your device does not have service or reception, is not connected to the Internet or cannot transmit data. Your device may not transmit your accurate geographic location if you are not near a cell tower or do not have both Wi-Fi and cellular service in the “on” position on your device. Various conditions beyond our control may prevent or delay us or our Service Partners from providing the Service to you or impair the quality of Service you may receive. BY (A) ELECTRONICALLY CLICKING ON THE “I AGREE” BUTTON ADJACENT TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE ONLINE, (B) ENROLLING IN THE SFARA SERVICE, (C) USING OR AUTHORIZING SOMEONE TO USE YOUR SFARA SERVICE OR ACCEPTING ANY OF ITS BENEFITS, OR (D) ACCESSING THE SFARA WEB SITE OR A SFARA APP IN ANY MANNER (WHETHER AUTOMATED OR OTHERWISE), YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, OUR PRIVACY POLICY AND ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT ARE REFERENCED BELOW OR OTHERWISE MAY APPLY TO SPECIFIC ASPECTS OF THE SFARA WEB SITE, THE SFARA APP OR THE SERVICE.

THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISION IN SECTION 11 BELOW THAT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AND WITH RESPECT TO ANY “DISPUTE” (AS DEFINED BELOW) BETWEEN YOU AND US OR OUR AFFILIATES. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF THE BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS AS FURTHER DESCRIBED IN SECTION 11 BELOW AS LONG AS YOU OPT-OUT WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS.

 

You represent that you are of legal age and/or in a capacity to form a binding contract and legally able to accept these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service, you may not use the Service. You are responsible for your own compliance with these Terms of Service, as well as for the compliance of anyone who uses your Service account or utilizes the sfara App on your device, whether or not authorized by you. We reserve the right to change these Terms of Service from time to time, in which case, where required, we will notify you of or solicit your consent to such changes. Such changes will be effective when posted, provided that we may only amend the alternative dispute, venue and time limit of claims provisions to the extent allowed by applicable law. Any changes made to the Terms of Service will only apply prospectively. By continuing to use the Service, the sfara Web site or the sfara App after we post any such changes, you accept the Terms of Service as modified. Check the sfara Web site for the most up-to-date information. Certain features, products, software or services may be subject to additional terms and conditions presented to you by our Service Partners.

Your Service Plan (including without limitation its pricing and other terms) are part of these Terms of Service. The initial term of your Service Plan (or any trial period) shall commence on the date that you enrolled in the Service (unless otherwise identified in your Service Plan) and shall continue for the period set forth in your Service Plan. The duration of any limited trial may change from time to time. In order to decline to receive the sfara services during a trial period, you must decline the service online.

 

We use software, including the sfara App, in connection with the Service. Subject to your compliance with these Terms of Service and the terms of open source licenses governing the components included in the sfara App, sfara hereby grants you a personal, non-transferable, limited, non-exclusive license to use the sfara App for the sole purpose of using the Service. (Please see Section 3 “OSS Disclosures” for additional information regarding such open source licenses.) This license does not grant you the right to use the sfara App for any other purpose, or to disclose, reproduce, distribute, modify, re-engineer or create derivative works of the sfara App. sfara retains ownership of the sfara App, and except as expressly set forth herein, no other rights or licenses are granted or to be implied under any intellectual property of sfara. Any software that we provide you may automatically download and install upgrades, updates, or other new features onto your device, which may affect or erase data that you have previously stored on the sfara App or on your device.

 

New Individual users may download the application and request a password by sending an e-mail to us at: [email protected]. Companies, Organizations, Clubs and other groups (User Group) interested in accessing the application may do so by contacting us at: [email protected].  In certain circumstances, your employer, with your implied permission, may register you for the Service on your behalf as part of an employee safety benefit or required safety program. In the case of an employer-sponsored service offering, we may create an account for you with the information about you that we have received from your employer (which may include, without limitation, personally identifiable information). Such account will not be active until you complete the registration. To complete your registration and provide you with the Service, we will need certain satisfactory identification information from you. You agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself, and you are responsible for keeping such information up-to-date (including your contact information). The information you submit must describe you (you may not impersonate another person or entity), and you may not sell, share or otherwise transfer your account information. Until you complete registration, the Service will not function appropriately or at all.

 

Advanced Services provided to your User Group, will be negotiated with one of our distribution or service partners and will be payable to that distributor (the “Service Rates”). Furthermore, any service upgrades, enhancements or updates that you request, or are included in future releases of the Service, may be subject to additional fees or charges for which you shall be responsible. Our ability to enable the Service and maintain quality may be impaired when users place emergency or roadside assistance calls (or other demands on future services) that are illegitimate or excessive relative to typical usage by other customers for similar Service Plans. Such illegitimate or excessive usage suggests that the Service is being used in violation of these Terms of Service and may, in our sole discretion, result in charges (such charges, “Excessive Use Charges”) and/or termination of the Service with adequate notice. You hereby agree and consent that (a) you maintain sole and full responsibility and liability for such illegitimate or excessive usage, including Excessive Use Charges, and (b) your service may be terminated at our sole discretion in accordance herewith.

 Taxes and Surcharges:

Service Rates do not include certain taxes and surcharges that may apply to the Service. In addition to Service Rates, you may be charged applicable (a) state and local sales taxes by Apple and the Android Play Store and (b) surcharges, which will be added to your bill. We may not provide advance notice of changes to surcharges. You hereby agree to pay all taxes and surcharges charged to you by the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

Additionally, your government may impose additional taxes to the service when used in some countries and territories.  The accounting, accruing and payment of these taxes are the sole responsibility of the Individual User, User Group or Enterprise who may buy through a distribution partner.

 Payment Methods and Your Payment Responsibilities:

Your payment for advanced services will be collected by your sfara distribution/service partner. If you fail to make payment within the terms of their invoicing, we reserve the right to terminate or suspend the Service (in whole or in part). Notwithstanding such action by us, you are still responsible for any charges due at the time of such termination or suspension.

You are responsible for paying directly to third parties, including emergency service providers, all charges for services furnished by them directly to you that are not expressly covered by your Service Plan (e.g., ambulance fees).

Disputed Charges:

If you think that there has been an error in any Service charge billed, you must notify our Service Partner within sixty (60) days, or such longer period as required by law, after the charge is posted to your account. If you do not contact them about the disputed charge within this time period, you agree that you have waived your right to dispute the charge and must pay all amounts due in full.

 

We work with different companies, individuals and government entities to provide you with the Service, which include, for example and without limitation, app stores, telecommunications providers, wireless service providers, call center service providers, roadside assistance service providers, public safety operators, emergency response centers, emergency personnel, towing companies, vehicle manufacturers, distributors and dealers, equipment and software manufacturers, distributors, licensors, content providers, and any other person or entity who provides any service, equipment, content, feature or facilities in connection with the Service (collectively, “Service Partners”). In the event any of our Service Partners impose additional terms and conditions on the services they provide, such terms and conditions shall be conveyed to you by the Service Partner.

Without limitation of any other suspension or termination (or other) rights expressly set forth in these Terms of Service:

 

The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and us or any of our affiliates regarding the Service, the sfara Web site or the sfara App, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Section 11 (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below). “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced. If you have a Dispute with us or any affiliate of ours or any of our or their officers, directors, employees or agents that cannot be resolved through negotiation within the time frame described in the “Notice of Dispute” clause below, other than those matters listed in the Exclusions from Arbitration clause, you and the entity that you have a Dispute with agree to seek resolution of the Dispute only through arbitration of that Dispute in accordance with the terms of this Section 11, and not litigate any Dispute in court. Arbitration means that the Dispute will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury. Service Partners are not sfara’s affiliates.

Exclusions from Arbitration. YOU AND WE AND OUR AFFILIATES AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM FILED BY YOU OR BY US OR OUR AFFILIATE IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE ARBITRATION TERMS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 11.

RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN THIS SECTION 11, YOU MUST NOTIFY US IN WRITING WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THE DATE THAT YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS OF SERVICE. YOUR WRITTEN NOTIFICATION MUST BE MAILED TO SFARA, INC., AT THE ADDRESS LISTED ABOVE AND MUST INCLUDE: (A) YOUR NAME, (B) YOUR ADDRESS, (C) YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER, IF YOU HAVE ONE, AND (D) A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH US OR OUR AFFILIATES THROUGH ARBITRATION.

Notice of Dispute. IF YOU HAVE A DISPUTE WITH US OR ANY OF OUR AFFILIATES, YOU MUST SEND WRITTEN NOTICE TO SFARA, INC., AT THE ADDRESS LISTED ABOVE TO GIVE US OR OUR AFFILIATE YOU HAVE A DISPUTE WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE INFORMALLY THROUGH NEGOTIATION. You agree to negotiate resolution of the Dispute in good faith for no less than sixty (60) days after you provide notice of the Dispute. If we or our affiliate you have a Dispute with does not resolve your Dispute within sixty (60) days from receipt of notice of the Dispute, you, us or our affiliate you have a Dispute with may pursue your claim in arbitration pursuant to the terms in this Section 11.

Class Action Waiver. ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR AS A NAMED OR UNNAMED MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL LEGALACTION, UNLESS BOTH YOU AND THE ENTITY WITH WHICH YOU HAVE A DISPUTE SPECIFICALLY AGREE TO DO SO IN WRITING FOLLOWING INITIATION OF THE ARBITRATION.

Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding/Selection of Arbitrator. The party initiating the arbitration proceeding may initiate it with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com. The terms of this Section 11 govern in the event they conflict with the rules of the arbitration organization selected by the parties.
Arbitration Procedures. Because the software and/or service provided to you by the entity you have a Dispute with concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all Disputes. However, applicable federal or state law may also apply to the substance of any Disputes. For claims of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (“Supplementary Procedures”) shall apply including the schedule of arbitration fees set forth in Section C-8 of the Supplementary Procedures; for claims over $75,000, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and relevant fee schedules for non-class action proceedings shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Further, if your claims do not exceed $75,000 and you provided notice to and negotiated in good faith with the entity you had a Dispute with as described above, if the arbitrator finds that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator, in addition to any rights to recover the same under controlling state or federal law afforded to the entity you have a Dispute with or you. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award will be binding and final, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.

Location of Arbitration. You or the entity you have a Dispute with may initiate arbitration in either Hoboken County, New Jersey or the county in which you reside. In the event that you select the county of your residence, the entity you have a Dispute with may transfer the arbitration to Hoboken County, New Jersey in the event that it agrees to pay any additional fees or costs you incur as a result of the change in location as determined by the arbitrator.

Severability. If any clause within this Section 11 is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Section 11, and the remainder of this Section 11 will be given full force and effect.

Continuation. This Section 11 shall survive any termination of these Terms of Service or the provision of the Service, sfara Web site, sfara App or associated services to you.

 

ANY DISPUTE NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION AND NOT INITIATED IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT WILL BE LITIGATED BY EITHER PARTY IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION ONLY IN the United States District Court for DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY or, if such court would not have jurisdiction over the matter, then only in a New jersey State court. Each Party submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of these courts and agrees not to commence any legal action under or in connection with the subject matter of THESE TERMS OF SERVICE in any other court or forum. Each Party waives any objection to the laying of the venue of any legal action brought under or in connection with the subject matter of these terms of service in the Federal or state courts sitting in New Jersey, and agrees not to plead or claim in such courts that any such action has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
