5. The DarrowHill Software
-
5.1
DarrowHill Software License. The Service, including the DarrowHill Software, is licensed, not
sold, to you. Subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement, DarrowHill grants you a limited, revocable,
nonexclusive, personal, nontransferable license during the term of this Agreement to install and
use one (1) copy of the provided version of the DarrowHill Software in
object code format, to access the Service for internal and personal purposes only. The
DarrowHill Software is “in use” on a Device for purposes of this paragraph when it is
loaded into the temporary memory (e.g., RAM) or installed into the permanent memory (e.g., hard
disk, CD-ROM or other storage device) of a Device.
-
5.2
DarrowHill Software License Restrictions. You may not (and may not allow a
third party to) rent, lease, sublicense, sell, assign, loan, use for timesharing or service
bureau purposes or otherwise transfer the DarrowHill software or any of your
rights and obligations under this agreement. You may not (and may not allow a third party to):
(a) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or attempt to reconstruct, identify or discover any
source code, underlying ideas, underlying user interface techniques or algorithms of the
DarrowHill Software by any means whatsoever, except to the extent that such
restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law; (b) remove or destroy any copyright
notices or other proprietary markings; (c) attempt to circumvent any use restrictions; (d)
modify or adapt the DarrowHill Software, merge the DarrowHill Software into another program or
create derivative works based on the DarrowHill Software; or (e) use, copy or distribute the
DarrowHill Software
without DarrowHill’s written authorization, except that you may make one (1)
copy of the DarrowHill Software for archival or backup purposes only.
-

Content Restrictions. You may not (and may not allow a third party to) copy, reproduce, capture,
store, retransmit, distribute, or burn to cd (or any other format) any copyrighted content that
you access or receive while using the DarrowHill software or the service.
You assume all risk and liability for any such prohibited use of copyrighted content.
-
5.4
Recurring Payments for Paid Service using DarrowHill Software.When you
purchase a subscription to DarrowHill’s Paid Service in connection with your
use of the DarrowHill Software, DarrowHill will
automatically renew your subscription to the Paid Service at the end of its initial term and at
the end of each term thereafter. The renewal term will be for the same period of time as the
initial term. This period of time is known as the Subscription Period. At the conclusion of each
subscription term, you will automatically be billed for the DarrowHill Paid
Service for a renewal subscription term lasting a period of time equal to the Subscription
Period. The DarrowHill Paid Service fee is non-refundable except as
expressly set forth in this Agreement. Taxes may apply on the subscription fee. You agree to pay
for the subscription that you select for the Paid Service and you authorize us to automatically
charge the payment method our service provider has on file for your recurring payments. If the
payment mechanism (such as a credit card) we have on file for you is declined for payment of
your Paid Service subscription fee, we may retry the payment mechanism at the same or lower
rate. If we do not obtain payment, your Paid Service subscription will be canceled. If you
provide us with a new form of payment and are successfully charged within 30 days after the
renewal date, your new Paid Service subscription term will be based on the original renewal date
and not the date of the successful charge. If your Paid Service is terminated, you may be
entitled to a refund, subject to limitations provided in Section 9 of this Agreement. You are
responsible to canceling your subscription regardless of whether you receive any notice from
DarrowHill about the renewal of that subscription. In the event that your
payment mechanism expires prior to the renewal date of your subscription, you are responsible
for updating a new payment mechanism in your DarrowHill account before the
renewal date of your subscription to the Paid Service. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
DarrowHill makes no representations or warranties about the continued
availability of any particular form of payment method made available for use with the Service.
Several methods of cancelling the automatic renewal of your DarrowHill Paid
Service subscription are available to you, and are described at the website
https://support.apple.com/en-us/ . Once you have cancelled your automatic renewal, recurring
subscription fees for DarrowHill Paid Service fees will no longer be charged
to the payment method we have on file for your account, and your subscription will remain active
only until the end of the term for which you have fully paid the DarrowHill
Paid Service fee. Unless you notify us before a charge that you want to cancel or do not want to
auto renew, you understand your paid service subscription will automatically renew periodically
and you authorize us to collect the then-applicable paid service subscription fee plus any
applicable taxes, using any payment method we have on record for you. DarrowHill currently uses
third-party payment processors for electronic commerce. Our third-party
e-commerce payment processor accepts payments through methods detailed on the applicable payment
screen, which may include various credit cards. By using such third-party payment processors,
you agree to their terms and conditions of use. Such third parties may charge fees to process
payments. We may, but are not required to, pay certain fees at our sole discretion. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, DarrowHill disclaims all liability with
regard to any fees or problems you have with third-party payment processors.

(including without limitation damages arising from any unsuccessful court action or legal

non-pecuniary loss or damage of any nature whatsoever) arising out of or relating to this
agreement or that result from your use of or your inability to use the service or DarrowHill
software, or any other interactions with DarrowHill,
even if DarrowHill or an DarrowHill authorized
representative has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
-

its affiliates, contractors, employees, agents, or third-party partners, licensors, or suppliers
to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action arising out of or relating to this

and you consent to that transfer.
15. Dispute Resolution And Arbitration
-
15.1
Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and DarrowHill
in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and DarrowHill agree
that any and all disputes arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or your use of
the Service shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a
lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow
for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts.
Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to
arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to all claims arising out of or relating to any
aspect of this Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or
any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the
termination of this Agreement. You understand and agree that, by entering into this agreement,
you and DarrowHill are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to
participate in a class action.
-
15.2
Notwithstanding Section 15.1, you and DarrowHill agree that nothing herein
shall be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our right to (i) bring an
inidual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable
federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek a temporary
restraining order or preliminary injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration, or
(iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.
16. Miscellaneous
-
16.1
Notice. DarrowHill may provide you with notices, including those regarding
changes to this Agreement, by posting the notice through the Service. Notice will be deemed
given twenty-four hours after posting.
-
16.2
Waiver. The failure of DarrowHill to exercise or enforce any right or
provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver
of any provision of this Agreement will be effective only if in writing and signed by
DarrowHill.
-
16.3
Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law except
payments disputes filed by customer's domiciled in the European Community or Switzerland will be
treated according to Swiss law.
-
16.4
Jurisdiction. You agree that in the event of a dispute that is not subject to arbitration
pursuant to Section 15, or if Section 15 is found to be unenforceable, any action at law or in
equity arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or DarrowHill
will be filed only in the state or federal courts located in the City and County of San
Francisco, California, and You hereby consent and submit to the personal and exclusive
jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action.
-
16.5
