Please read these Terms of Service (“this Agreement”) between BuzzOtter LLC (“BuzzOtter”, “we”, “us” or “our”) and you, an individual user (“you” or “your”). This Agreement applies to and governs your use of (a) www.BuzzOtter.com and all corresponding subdomains, web pages and websites associated with the foregoing URL (the “Site”), (b) the BuzzOtter mobile application (the “App”), and (c) any other content, applications, systems, features, functionality, software, information, products and services offered by us that link to this Agreement (collectively the “Services”). By using the SITE, APP OR SERVICES, DOWNLOADING THE APP, COMPLETING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS AND/OR CLICKING THE “I ACCEPT” BUTTON, you understand and agree that (i) you have read and agree to be bound by this Agreement, and (ii) you are of legal age to form a binding contract with BuzzOtter.
Your use of, and participation in, certain Services may be subject to additional terms (“Additional Terms”), and such Additional Terms will either be listed in this Agreement or will be presented to you for your acceptance when you sign up to use the additional Service. To the extent that there is a conflict between this Agreement and the Additional Terms, the Additional Terms shall govern.
Please be aware that section 17 of this agreement, below, contains provisions governing how claims that you and we have against each other are resolved, including, without limitation, any claims that arose or were asserted prior to the effective date of this agreement. In particular, it contains an arbitration agreement which will, with limited exceptions, require disputes between us to be submitted to binding and final arbitration. Unless you opt out of the arbitration agreement: (1) you will only be permitted to pursue claims and seek relief against us on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action or proceeding; and (2) you are waiving your right to seek relief in a court of law and to have a jury trial on your claims.
This Agreement shall commence as of the date you accept it (in accordance with the preamble) and remain in full force and effect while you use the Services, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms herein. You may terminate your use of or registration for the Services at any time by closing your User Account (as defined below) and notifying us of your intent to terminate. BuzzOtter may terminate your use of or registration for the Services at any time, for any or no reason, with or without prior notice or explanation, and without liability or obligation to you or any third party, including in the event you have breached this Agreement, or if we are required to by applicable law.
We may modify this Agreement at any time, for any reason, in our sole discretion. If we modify this Agreement, we will provide notice on the Site and within the App. We may also send you notice to the email address you provided. You are solely responsible for providing us with a current and accurate email address. In certain circumstances, we may require you to provide additional consent before any further use of the Site, App or Services is permitted. We recommend that you check back frequently and review this Agreement regularly so you are aware of the most current rights and obligations that apply to you.
By using the Services, you represent and warrant that (a) you are 16 years of age or older and acknowledge and agree that features, activities and other aspects of the Services may be subject to heightened age and/or other eligibility requirements; (b) your use of the Services does not violate any applicable law, rule or regulation; and (c) you shall make timely and satisfactory payment for any Services purchased by you. If you provide information that is untrue, inaccurate, incomplete, or we suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, we may suspend or terminate your registration (in whole or in part) and refuse any and all current or future use of the Services (or any portion thereof), in its sole discretion, with or without notice to you, and without liability or obligation to you.
In order to access and use the Services, we may require that you register for an account (“User Account”), create a unique username and password combination (“User Credentials”), and provide certain additional information, as prompted by our user registration process. You represent and warrant that all registration and account information you submit is truthful and accurate and that you shall maintain and promptly update the accuracy of such information. You may only have one User Account, and are responsible for maintaining the strict confidentiality of your User Credentials. You are responsible for any access to, or use of, the Services by you or any person or entity using your User Credentials or the device you use to access and use the Services (a “Device”), whether or not such access or use has been authorized by you or on your behalf, and whether or not such person or entity is your employee or agent, including, without limitation, any fee-based transactions. It is therefore critical that you do not share your User Credentials with anyone. You agree to immediately notify BuzzOtter of any unauthorized use of your User Credentials, User Account and/or Device, or any other breach of security, including, without limitation, if your Device is lost or stolen. It is your responsibility to (a) control the dissemination and use of your User Credentials, User Account, and Device; (b) update, maintain, and control access to your User Credentials, User Account, and Device; and (c) cancel your User Account. We reserve the right to deny access, use, and registration privileges to anyone if we believe there is a question about the identity of the person trying to access any account or element of the Services. BuzzOtter shall not be responsible for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section 4.
Some of the Services may be dependent on and/or interoperate with third party owned and/or operated platforms and services (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Google Play, PayPal, LinkedIn, Apple, etc.) (each, a “Third-Party Platform”) and may require that you be a registered member of such Third-Party Platforms and provide certain account credentials and other information in order to access such Services. Such Third-Party Platforms, in addition to providing application hosting, content distribution, support and other related services, may provide us with certain additional information about you. No Third-Party Platform through which you purchase the Services shall furnish any maintenance or support with respect to the Services, nor shall they address any third-party claims related to your use of the Services.
We respect your privacy and the use and protection of your personally identifiable information. In the course of your use of the Services, you may be required to provide certain personal or personalized information to us (such information referred to hereinafter as “Personal Information”). Our information collection and use policies with respect to the privacy of such Personal Information are set forth in the Privacy Policy (https://BuzzOtter.com/privacy.html). We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy, and to use it to help make informed decisions. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the accuracy and content of Personal Information.

11.1 Defined; Acknowledgements. The Services may provide you and other users with an opportunity to participate in feeds, forums, communities and other message, comment and communication features and functionalities and may provide you with the opportunity to submit, post, email, display, transmit or otherwise make available comments, reviews, links, materials, ideas, opinions, messages, user information, and other information via the Services (each, a “User Posting”, and collectively, “User Postings”). The term “User Posting” also includes all of the information you submit or we may receive that is related to your User Posting. When you submit User Postings you may also be asked to provide information about you and your submission. This may include, without limitation, such things as your User Credentials, a descriptive title, information about the User Posting, your location and/or similar information. You further acknowledge and agree that all User Postings made by means of or in connection with any portion of the Services are public and that (a) you have no expectation of privacy in any User Posting, and (b) no confidential, fiduciary, contractually implied or other relationship is created between you and BuzzOtter by reason of your transmitting a User Posting to any area of, or in connection with, the Services.
11.2 Responsibility; Liability. You understand, acknowledge and agree that all User Postings are the sole responsibility of the person from which such User Postings originated. This means that you are solely and entirely responsible for the consequences of all User Postings that you submit, upload, post, email, display, transmit or otherwise make available. User Postings do not reflect the views of BuzzOtter, its affiliates, or any of their respective successors and assigns, directors, officers, employees, representatives or agents. You understand that by using the Services, you may be exposed to other user’s User Postings that could be offensive, indecent or objectionable and, as such, BuzzOtter does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity, quality, or content of any User Postings. Under no circumstances shall BuzzOtter be liable in any way for User Postings, including, without limitation, errors or omissions in any User Postings, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of any User Postings submitted, uploaded, posted, emailed, displayed, transmitted or otherwise made available.
11.3 Usage; Restrictions. The Services, including, without limitation, all User Posting features and functionality, is for personal purposes only and you may not submit, post, email, display, transmit or otherwise make available, in any manner, any User Posting that we deem to be an Unauthorized Posting (as defined herein). We have the right, but not the obligation, to review any User Posting and to delete, remove, move, edit or reject, without notice to you, for any reason or for no reason, any User Posting, including, without limitation, any Unauthorized Posting; provided, however, that BuzzOtter shall have no obligation or liability to you or any third-party for failure to do so or for doing so in any particular manner. As used herein, the term “Unauthorized Posting” means any User Posting that is or may be construed as violating this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 8 herein, or is deemed to be unacceptable to BuzzOtter, as determined in BuzzOtter’s sole discretion.
11.4 License; Usage. In connection with all User Postings you submit, post, email, display, transmit or otherwise make available, you grant to BuzzOtter the unlimited, worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual and royalty-free right, license, authorization, and permission, in any form or format, on or through any media or medium and with any technology or devices now known or hereafter developed or discovered, in whole or in part, to host, cache, store, maintain, use, reproduce, distribute, display, exhibit, perform, publish, broadcast, transmit, modify, prepare derivative works of, adapt, reformat, translate, and otherwise exploit all or any portion of your User Posting on the Services and any other websites, channels, services, and other distribution platforms, whether currently existing or developed in the future, for any purpose whatsoever (including, without limitation, for any promotional purposes) without accounting, notification, credit or other obligation to you, and the right to license and sublicense and authorize others to exercise any of the rights granted hereunder to BuzzOtter, in our sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights, licenses and privileges described in this Agreement and granted to BuzzOtter shall commence immediately upon submission of your User Posting and shall continue thereafter perpetually and indefinitely, regardless of whether you use the Services as a registered user or not.
11.5 Rights; Representations. BuzzOtter does not acquire any title or ownership rights in the User Postings that you submit and/or make available. After you submit, post, email, display, transmit or otherwise make available any User Posting, you continue to retain any such rights that you may have in such User Posting, subject to the rights, licenses and privileges granted herein. You also represent, warrant and covenant that you own the User Posting posted by you or otherwise have the right to grant the rights, licenses and privileges described in this Agreement and to perform and comply with all of the requirements set forth herein.
11.6 California Removal Rights. Registered users of Services who are California residents and are under 18 years of age may request and obtain removal of User Postings located on the Services that they themselves post by emailing us at: support@BuzzOtter.com. All requests must be labeled “California Removal Request” on the email subject line. All requests must provide a description of the content or information in your User Posting that you want removed and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material and, so that we can process your request and contact you if we have questions, include your registered username, name, street address, city, state, zip code and email address (your street address is optional if you wish to receive a response to your request via email), include the name and URL (if applicable) of the website, application or other interactive service and indicate your preference on how our response to your request should be sent (email or postal mail). We shall not accept requests via postal mail, telephone or facsimile. We are not responsible for notices that are not labeled or sent properly, and may not be able to respond if you do not provide complete information. We may also provide you the ability to remove individual specific User Postings that are comments by navigating to the comment, selecting the delete option when you hover over the right-hand side of the comment with your cursor and verifying the deletion request. Please note that any requests for removal do not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the Content or information from the Services. For example, content that you have posted may be republished or reposted by another User or third party.
BuzzOtter respects the intellectual property of others, and asks you to do the same. BuzzOtter will (i) remove or disable access to material made available on or through the Services that BuzzOtter believes in good faith, upon notice from an intellectual property owner or their agent, to be infringing the intellectual property of a third party; and (ii) remove any User Postings uploaded to the Services by “repeat infringers.” BuzzOtter will consider you a “repeat infringer” if BuzzOtter has received more than two takedown notices compliant with the provisions of 17 U.S.C. § 512 with respect to your User Postings. BuzzOtter has discretion, however, to terminate your User Account after receipt of a single notification of claimed infringement or upon BuzzOtter’ own determination.
If you believe that any content made available on or through the Services has been used or exploited in a manner that infringes an intellectual property right you own or control, then promptly send a “Notification of Claimed Infringement” containing substantially the following information to BuzzOtter’ Designated Agent identified below:
Written notification of claimed infringement must be submitted to the following Designated Agent:
BuzzOtter LLC
Attention: DMCA Copyright Agent
505 14th Street, Suite 330
Oakland, CA 94612
BuzzOtter may share the Notification of Claimed Infringement with the user alleged to have infringed a right you own or control, and you hereby consent to BuzzOtter making such disclosure.
If you receive a notification from BuzzOtter that material made available by you on or through the Services has been the subject of a Notification of Claimed Infringement, then you will have the right to provide BuzzOtter a “Counter Notification.” To be effective, a Counter Notification must be in writing, provided to BuzzOtter’ Designated Agent through one of the methods identified in this section, and include substantially the following information:
If you submit a Counter Notification to BuzzOtter in response to a Notification of Claimed Infringement, then BuzzOtter will promptly provide the person who provided the Notification of Claimed Infringement with a copy of your Counter Notification and inform that person that BuzzOtter will replace the removed User Postings or cease disabling access to the User Postings in 10 business days following receipt of the Counter Notification, unless BuzzOtter’ Designated Agent receives notice from the party that submitted the Notification of Claimed Infringement that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the Services.
The Copyright Act provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents under [Section 512 of the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512)] (1) that material or activity is infringing, or (2) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, will be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of [BuzzOtter] relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.
BuzzOtter reserves the right to seek damages from any party that submits a Notification of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notification in violation of the law.
13.1 Premium Subscription. In order to access certain features or functionality of the Services (including the ability to access certain content), you may be required to pay Premium membership fees. Premium membership fees, along with any required taxes, may be paid on a weekly, monthly or annual basis. All Premium membership fees are payable in advance. You agree to pay the membership fees, and other charges you incur in connection with your BuzzOtter account, whether on a one-time or subscription basis. BuzzOtter reserves the right to increase membership fees, any associated taxes, or to institute new fees at any time upon reasonable advance notice.
13.2 Other Fee-Based Services. The Services include the ability to make certain other fee-based transactions, including, without limitation, the ability to purchase goods and services (“Fee-Based Services”). In some cases, you may be required to make one payment to BuzzOtter (for example, a deposit) and one or more subsequent payments to a third-party merchant or service provider to complete the transaction. Additional Terms may apply to your use of, access to and purchase of Fee-Based Services and will be presented to you at the time of purchase. Additional Terms may include terms and conditions between you and BuzzOtter or terms and conditions from third party merchants or service providers who provide the Fee-Based Services. Such Additional Terms are incorporated herein by reference. Unless otherwise stated in the Additional Terms and Conditions for particular Fee-Based Services, the following terms and conditions shall apply to all Fee-Based Services:
13.3 Payment Method and Terms. For all purchases, you will be charged at confirmation of purchase. In addition, for auto-renewing subscriptions, you will be charged within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. The Services accept certain methods of payment which will be indicated at the time of purchase as forms of payment (each, an “Authorized Payment Method”), subject to certain restrictions, including, without limitation, territory restrictions, bank/payment card restrictions, spending limits, third party service provider restrictions or otherwise, which may prevent the processing of your order. If a transaction has been declined online due to payment card issues, please ensure all data is correct and resubmit. If the transaction is not accepted online, you will be unable to use that card for your transaction and should use another Authorized Payment Method. If a payment card company is being used for a transaction, BuzzOtter may obtain a preapproval from the applicable payment card company for an amount up to the amount of the order. All purchases are final once you click the “Submit” or similar button/link and billing to your payment card occurs at such time or shortly thereafter. If payment is not received by us from your credit, debit or charge card issuer or its agents or other payment service provider, you agree to promptly pay all amounts due upon demand by us. BuzzOtter reserves the right to change any and all prices for any Services and other Content at any time, for any reason.
13.4 Auto Renewal. Your subscription will continue indefinitely until terminated in accordance with this Agreement. After your Initial Term, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically commence on the first day following the end of such period (each a “Renewal Commencement Date”) and continue for an additional equivalent period, at BuzzOtter’ then-current price for such subscription. You agree that your User Account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless you cancel your subscription prior to the Renewal Commencement Date. If you cancel your subscription, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term, but you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period. By subscribing, you authorize BuzzOtter, including any payment processors, to charge you for the initial, and any renewal subscriptions. If BuzzOtter does not receive payment from you or from a payment processor, (i) you agree to pay all amounts due on your User Account upon demand, and/or (ii) you agree that BuzzOtter may either terminate or suspend your subscription and continue to attempt to charge you or a payment processor on your behalf until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your User Account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received).
13.5 Taxes. You are responsible for any taxes imposed on any subscription or Fee-Based transactions conducted on or in connection with the Services and applicable taxes will be added to the amount charged for the applicable transaction. Subscription and Fee-Based transactions in connection with the Services may include, without limitation, sales tax, use tax and any other applicable taxes, which may be based on various factors, including, without limitation, the billing address and tax rates in effect at the time your transaction is completed. No customers or users are eligible for tax exemptions for transactions made in connection with the Services.
13.6 Additional Terms and Conditions. BuzzOtter may revise any or all of the fees and prices associated with the Services at any time for any or no reason. Further, BuzzOtter does not guarantee that product descriptions or other content and products will be available, accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. Descriptions and images of, and references to, products or services on or in connection with the subscription and Fee-Based Services do not imply BuzzOtter’or any of its affiliates’ endorsement of such products or services. Moreover, BuzzOtter and its third-party operational service providers reserve the right, with or without prior notice, for any or no reason, to change product descriptions, images, and references; to limit the available quantity of any product; to honor, or impose conditions on the honoring of, any coupon, coupon code, promotional code or other similar promotions; to bar any user from conducting any or all transaction(s); and/or to refuse to provide any user with any product. Further, if BuzzOtter terminates your use of or registration to the Services because you have breached this Agreement, you shall not be entitled to a refund of any unused portion of any fees, payments or other consideration.
13.7 Virtual Currency. You may accrue virtual currency to your User Account through the Services. We determine and control the availability and nature of virtual currency in our sole discretion. You agree that we may terminate, modify, revalue, or make virtual currency more or less available without any notice or liability to you. Our virtual currency has no monetary value and no value outside the Services. Virtual currency may only be redeemed in the Services for limited purposes, including but not limited to certain promotions. Any unredeemed virtual currency earned on or before June 30, 2018 expired December 31, 2018. Any virtual currency earned after June 30, 2018 shall expire on the date set by us, or on the last day of the calendar year following the year in which such virtual currency was earned if no expiration date was communicated. Virtual currency may not be sold or exchanged for real money or for value outside of the Services. We provide virtual currency to you under a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and worldwide license to redeem virtual currency within the Services. Accordingly, except as set forth in the prior sentence, we own and retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the virtual currency in the Services. Virtual currency may not be sold, assigned, or transferred to any third-party under any circumstances unless we approve such transfer in writing. We will not be liable to you or required to provide refunds, benefits, or other compensation in connection with unredeemed virtual currency. If your Account is terminated for any reason, you may lose all virtual currency associated with your User Account.
13.8 Third Party Payment Processors. We use Stripe, Inc. to process payments. Stripe, Inc. may receive personal information from you. You are bound by the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which can be found here: https://stripe.com/us/connect-account/legal
13.9 Disputes. If you have a complaint or dispute about a certain charge, or about a certain feature or product made available on or in connection with the subscription and Fee-Based Services, you must promptly notify BuzzOtter customer service of such complaint or dispute by sending a detailed email to support@BuzzOtter.com.
