Terms of Use

VERSION 3

Last revised on: March 21, 2019

Welcome to Tinybop. We are a studio of designers, developers and artists building a suite of educational applications for kids – what we call the toys for tomorrow. We operate the website located at https://tinybop.com (which we call the Site) and mobile,  tablet, and web applications designed to encourage a child’s exploration and creativity through immersive games (which we call Applications or Apps, and collectively with the Site and all services provided through the Site and Applications, the Services). Certain features of the Services may be subject to additional guidelines, terms, or rules, which will be posted in the terms in connection with such features. All such additional terms, guidelines, and rules are incorporated by reference into this agreement.

These Terms of Use (which we call the Agreement) set forth the legally binding terms for your use of the Services whether you are simply a Visitor (meaning you are just browsing the site) or a Subscriber, which means you have downloaded or use an Application. Collectively, Visitors and Subscribers are referred to as Users or individually as a User or you.

A NOTE ABOUT CHILDREN: WE DO NOT COLLECT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT CHILDREN.

The Applications are designed for use by children. We share your concern for the privacy of children and do not knowingly collect any information about children through the Applications. In fact, except for Parent Information (as defined below) we do not transmit any information recorded on the Applications back to our servers. “Parent Information” means a parent’s email address collected for the purpose of sending a parent or other adult information about the Applications and recording an adults use of the “parents section” of the Application using certain analytics tools as more fully described in our Privacy Policy.

BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU  ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT (ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE ENTITY THAT YOU REPRESENT) AND YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AUTHORITY, AND CAPACITY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT (ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE ENTITY THAT YOU REPRESENT). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT ACCESS AND/OR USE THE SERVICES.

1. ACCOUNTS.

The Applications may allow an adult to create a parent’s account which we call a Dashboard that allows the parent or other adult to manage settings in the Application. An Application may allow your child or children to create accounts. Different accounts allow each child to save their own progress in each Application. When creating accounts for you or your child, you can use real names or aliases, as you think appropriate. All such information remains on the Application and is not transmitted or made available to us, unless you make such information available to us, for example, as part of our support services (see Section 6 below). If you create a parent account, you may be required to provide a username and password (which we call Credentials), which you may not share with anyone else, including your child. If someone accesses your Account using your Credentials, we (or the programming within the Application) will rely on those Credentials and will assume that it is really you who is accessing the parent account. You are solely responsible for any and all use of your Credentials and all activities that occur in connection with your Credentials. You may delete any account in accordance with the directions provided in the Applications or on the Site.

13. PRIVACY POLICY.

Please review our Privacy Policy, located at http://tinybop.com/privacy, which governs the use of personal information on the Services.

14. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER, CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AND FORUM SELECTION CLAUSE.

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 or our employees, agents, successors, or assigns, will exclusively be settled through binding and confidential arbitration.

b. Arbitration will be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitration will be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). As modified by this Agreement, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively “Rules and Procedures”).

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 Tinybop must abide by the following rules: (a) 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; (b) 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, (c) 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, (d) we also reserve the right in our sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all of the costs of the arbitration; (e) the arbitrator will honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (f) the arbitration will be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award; (g) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law; and (h) 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 will 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 defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret will not be subject to this arbitration agreement. Such claims will be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in Brooklyn, New York. Additionally, notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before the state or federal courts located in Brooklyn, New York in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, and hereby agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Brooklyn, New York for such purpose. A request for interim measures will not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.

f. With the exception of subparts (a) and (b) in the paragraph 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 Rules and Procedures, then the balance of this arbitration provision will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, either subpart (a) or (b) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision will be null and void, and neither You nor we will be entitled to arbitration. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute will be exclusively brought in state or federal court in Brooklyn, New York.

g. 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.

16. GENERAL.

(a) Changes to Terms of Use. This Agreement is subject to occasional revision, and if we make any substantial changes, we may notify you by sending you an e-mail to the last e-mail address you provided to us (if any) and/or by prominently posting notice of the changes on our Site. Any changes to this agreement will be effective upon the earlier of thirty (30) calendar days following our dispatch of an e-mail notice to you (if applicable) or thirty (30) calendar days following our posting of notice of the changes on our Site. These changes will be effective immediately for new users of our Services. You are responsible for providing us with your most current e-mail address. In the event that the last e-mail address that you have provided us is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you the notice described above, our dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice of the changes described in the notice. Continued use of our Services following notice of such changes will indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of such changes.

(b) Choice Of Law. The Agreement is made under and will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

(c) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Services. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word including means including without limitation. If any provision of this Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Your relationship to us is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. This Agreement, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without our prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. The terms of this Agreement will be binding upon assignees.

(d) Copyright/Trademark Information. Copyright © 2019, Tinybop, Inc.. All rights reserved. All trademarks, logos and service marks displayed on the Site are our property or the property of other third parties. You are not permitted to use such trademarks, logos and service marks without our prior written consent or the consent of such third party which may own the Marks.
