Terms of Service

TERMS OF SERVICE 


Last updated April 14, 2021


Welcome!


We’ve drafted these Terms of Service (which we call the “Terms”) so you’ll know the rules that govern our relationship with you. Although we have tried our best to strip the legalese from the Terms, there are places where these Terms may still read like a traditional contract. There’s a good reason for that: These Terms do indeed form a legally binding contract between you and DIVERTbrands, LLC & DIVERTsessions 1, Inc. (collectively “DIVERT”). So please read them carefully.


By using the DIVERT Challenges App (the “Application”), DIVERTsessions website (the “Website”) or any of our other products or services that link to these Terms (we refer to these collectively as the “Services”), you agree to the Terms. Of course, if you don’t agree with them, then don’t use the Services.


The Terms contained herein are subject to change and can be modified at any time with notice to you.  Be sure to review these Terms periodically for updates, as your continued use of the Services signifies your acceptance of any changed terms and conditions set forth in these Terms.

 

Note that the headings contained in these Terms are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not in any way define or affect the meaning, construction, or scope of any of the provisions contained in these Terms.

 

  1.         INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The DIVERTbrands, DIVERTsessions, and other marks and logos are the intellectual property of  DIVERT.


Except to extent there are Contributions (as defined below), our App and Website and all of its contents (including, without limitation, articles, text, photographs, images, illustrations, graphics, video material, audio material, and software (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”), are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws of the United States, as well as international conventions and the laws of other countries.  The Intellectual Property is owned or controlled by DIVERT or the party credited as the provider of the intellectual property.  Additionally, the App and Website are protected by copyright as a collective work and/or compilation.


Your use of the Services does not create, and nothing contained in the Services shall be construed as creating or conferring to you, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, a license or any other rights in trademarks, service marks, copyrights or other intellectual property rights or any other rights of DIVERT or any third party. The App and Website are provided free of charge and is for informational purposes only and does not create a business or professional services relationship between you and DIVERT.


No portion of the App or Website may be reproduced, duplicated, copied, sold, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose that is not expressly permitted by DIVERT.


You may browse through the App and Website and occasionally download small amounts of materials appearing on the App and Website that are of personal interest to you for your personal, non-commercial use. You must keep intact all copyright, trademark and other notices contained in your personal copies.  You may not reproduce or allow others to reproduce your personal copies of downloaded materials, nor may you make them available electronically. You may not save or archive a significant portion of the material appearing on the App or Website. You may not attempt to alter or modify the content posted on the App or Website. Except as expressly set forth in this paragraph, you may not copy, download, display, distribute, publish, enter into a database, display, perform, modify, create derivative works, transmit, post, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or in any way use any of our Intellectual Property or the App or Website itself.


  1. RIGHTS WE GRANT YOU

DIVERT grants you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable, nonexclusive, revocable, and non-sublicensable license to access and use the Services. This license is for the sole purpose of letting you use and enjoy the Services’ benefits in a way that these Terms allow. Any software that we provide you may automatically download and install upgrades, updates, or other new features. You may be able to adjust these automatic downloads through your device’s settings. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our Services, nor may you reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of that software, unless laws prohibit these restrictions or you have our written permission to do so.


  1. RIGHTS YOU GRANT US

Many of our Services let you chat, contribute to, or participate in blogs, message boards, online forums, and other functionality, and may provide you with the opportunity to create, submit, post, display, transmit, perform, publish, distribute, or broadcast content and materials to us or in the Application, including but not limited to text, writings, video, audio, photographs, graphics, comments, suggestions, or personal information or other material (collectively, "Contributions"). When you do that, you retain whatever ownership rights in those Contributions you had to begin with. But you grant us a license to use that content. 


For all Contributions you submit to the Services you grant DIVERT, our affiliates, and our business partners a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, use, display, reproduce, modify, adapt, edit, publish, and distribute the Contributions, as well as a perpetual license to create derivative works from, promote, exhibit, broadcast, syndicate, publicly perform, and publicly display such Contributions in any form and in any and all media or distribution methods (now known or later developed). To the extent it’s necessary, when you appear in, create, upload, post, or send such Contributions, you also grant DIVERT, our affiliates, and our business partners the unrestricted, worldwide, perpetual right and license to use your name, likeness, and voice, including in connection with commercial or sponsored content. This means, among other things, that you will not be entitled to any compensation from DIVERT, our affiliates, or our business partners if your name, likeness, or voice is conveyed through the Services, either on the Application or on one of our business partner’s platforms.


While we’re not required to do so, we may access, review, screen, and delete your Contributions at any time and for any reason, including to provide and develop the Services or if we think your Contributions violate these Terms as outlined herein. You alone, though, remain responsible for the Contributions you create, upload, post, send, or store through the Service.


We always love to hear from our users. But if you provide feedback or suggestions, just know that we can use them without compensating you, and without any restriction or obligation to you.  


  1. THE CONTENT OF OTHERS

Much of the Contributions on our Services is produced by users and other third parties. Whether those Contributions are posted publicly or sent privately, the Contributions are the sole responsibility of the person or organization that submitted it. Although DIVERT reserves the right to review or remove all Contributions that appears on the Services, we do not necessarily review all of it. So we cannot—and do not—take responsibility for any Contributions that others provide through the Services.


Through these Terms, we make clear that we do not want the Services put to bad uses. But because we do not review all Contributions, we cannot guarantee that Contributions on the Services, or that our users’ use of our Services, will always conform to our Terms.


  1. PRIVACY

Your privacy matters to us. You can learn how we handle your information when you use our Services by reading our Privacy Policy. We encourage you to give the Privacy Policy a careful look because, by using our Services, you agree that DIVERT can collect, use, and share your information consistent with that policy. 


  1. RESPECTING OTHER PEOPLE’S RIGHTS

DIVERT respects the rights of others. And so should you. You therefore may not use the Services, or enable anyone else to use the Services, in a manner that:


  • violates or infringes someone else’s rights of publicity, privacy, copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right.

  • ridicules, mocks, disparages, bullies, harasses, abuses or intimidates.

  • defames.

  • spams or solicits our users.

In short: You may not use the Services or the content on the Services in ways that are not authorized by these Terms. Nor may you help anyone else in doing so.


  1. RESPECTING COPYRIGHT

DIVERT honors copyright laws, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. We therefore take reasonable steps to expeditiously remove from our Services any infringing material that we become aware of. And if DIVERT becomes aware that one of its users has repeatedly infringed copyrights, we will take reasonable steps within our power to terminate the user’s account.


We make it easy for you to report suspected copyright infringement. If you believe that anything on the Services infringes a copyright that you own or control, please report it using the form accessible through this tool. Or you may file a notice with our designated agent:


DIVERTbrands, LLC & DIVERTsessions 1, Inc.

Attn: Copyright Agent

13603 Marina Pointe Drive

D330

Marina del Rey, CA 90292

Email: copyright@divertbrands.com 


Please don’t use this email address for anything other than reporting copyright infringement, as such emails will be ignored.


If you file a notice with our Copyright Agent, it must comply with the requirements set forth at 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3). That means the notice must:


  • contain the physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

  • identify the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.

  • identify the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed, or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate the material.

  • provide your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and an email address.

  • provide a personal statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

  • provide a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

  1. SAFETY

We try hard to keep our Services a safe place for all users. But we can’t guarantee it. That’s where you come in. By using the Services, you agree that:


  • You will not use the Services for any purpose that is illegal or prohibited in these Terms.

  • You will not use any robot, spider, crawler, scraper, or other automated means or interface to access the Services or extract other user’s information.

  • You will not use or develop any third-party applications that interact with the Services or other users’ content or information without our written consent.

  • You will not use the Services in a way that could interfere with, disrupt, negatively affect, or inhibit other users from fully enjoying the Services, or that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the functioning of the Services.

  • You will not use or attempt to use another user’s account, username, or password without their permission.

  • You will not solicit login credentials from another user.

  • You will not upload viruses or other malicious code or otherwise compromise the security of the Services.

  • You will not attempt to circumvent any content-filtering techniques we employ, or attempt to access areas or features of the Services that you are not authorized to access.

  • You will not probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of our Services or any system or network.

  • Your Contributions do not and will not infringe the proprietary rights, including but not limited to the copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or moral rights of any third party.

  • You are the creator and owner of or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, releases, and permissions to use and to authorize us, the Application, and other users of the Application to use your Contributions in any manner contemplated by these Terms.

  • Your Contributions are not false, inaccurate, or misleading.

  • Your Contributions are not unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, pyramid schemes, chain letters, spam, mass mailings, or other forms of solicitation.

  • Your Contributions are not obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, violent, harassing, libelous, slanderous, or otherwise objectionable (as determined by us).

  • Your Contributions do not violate any applicable law, regulation, or rule.

  • Your Contributions do not contain any material that solicits personal information from anyone under the age of 18 or exploits people under the age of 18 in a sexual or violent manner.

  • Your Contributions do not violate any applicable law concerning child pornography, or otherwise intended to protect the health or well-being of minors.

  • Your Contributions do not include any offensive comments that are connected to race, national origin, gender, sexual preference, or physical handicap.

  • Your Contributions do not otherwise violate, or link to material that violates, any provision of these Terms, or any applicable law or regulation.

Any use of the Application in violation of the foregoing violates these Terms and may result in, among other things, termination or suspension of your rights to use the Application.


We also care about your safety while using our Services. So do not use our Services in a way that would distract you from obeying traffic or safety laws. For example, never post or view content while driving. And never put yourself or others in harm’s way just to capture content.


  1. MODIFYING THE SERVICES AND TERMINATION

We’re relentlessly improving our Services and creating new ones all the time. That means we may add or remove features, products, or functionalities, and we may also suspend or stop the Services altogether. We may take any of these actions at any time, and when we do, we may not provide you with any notice beforehand.


While we hope you remain a lifelong user, you can terminate these Terms at any time and for any reason by deleting your account.


DIVERT may also terminate these Terms with you at any time, for any reason, and without advanced notice. That means that we may stop providing you with any Services, or impose new or additional limits on your ability to use our Services. For example, we may deactivate your account due to prolonged inactivity, and we may reclaim your username at any time for any reason. Regardless of who terminates these Terms, both you and DIVERT continue to be bound by Sections 1, 3, 6, and 9-16 of the Terms.


  1. INDEMNITY

You agree, to the extent permitted by law, to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DIVERT, our affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders, employees, licensors, and agents from and against any and all complaints, charges, claims, damages, losses, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) due to, arising out of, or relating in any way to: (a) your access to or use of the Services; (b) your content; and (c) your breach of these Terms.


  1. DISCLAIMERS

We try to keep the Services up and running and free of annoyances. But we make no promises that we will succeed.


THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. IN ADDITION, WHILE DIVERT ATTEMPTS TO PROVIDE A GOOD USER EXPERIENCE, WE DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT: (A) THE SERVICES WILL ALWAYS BE SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR TIMELY; (B) THE SERVICES WILL ALWAYS FUNCTION WITHOUT DELAYS, DISRUPTIONS, OR IMPERFECTIONS; OR (C) THAT ANY CONTENT, USER CONTENT, OR INFORMATION YOU OBTAIN ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES WILL BE TIMELY OR ACCURATE.


DIVERT TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY AND ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR ANY CONTENT THAT YOU, ANOTHER USER, OR A THIRD PARTY CREATES, UPLOADS, POSTS, SENDS, RECEIVES, OR STORES ON OR THROUGH OUR SERVICES. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU MAY BE EXPOSED TO CONTENT THAT MIGHT BE OFFENSIVE, ILLEGAL, MISLEADING, OR OTHERWISE INAPPROPRIATE, NONE OF WHICH DIVERT WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR.


  1. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DIVERT AND OUR MANAGING MEMBERS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AGENTS, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR MULTIPLE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM: (A) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES; (B) THE CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF OTHER USERS OR THIRD PARTIES ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES; OR (C) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE, OR ALTERATION OF YOUR CONTENT, EVEN IF DIVERT. HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL DIVERT’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 USD OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DIVERT, IF ANY, IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS.


  1. GOVERNING LAW AND EXCLUSIVE VENUE

These Terms and any disputes arising under or related to these Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without reference to its conflict of law principles. Both you and DIVERT agree that all claims and disputes (whether contract, tort, or otherwise), including statutory claims and disputes, arising out of or relating to the Terms or the use of the Services will be litigated exclusively in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. If, however, that court would lack original jurisdiction over the litigation, then all such claims and disputes will be litigated exclusively in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles. You and DIVERT consent to the personal jurisdiction of both courts.


  1. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, then that provision will be severed from these Terms and not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.


  1. ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR SPECIFIC SERVICES

Given the breadth of our Services, we sometimes need to craft additional terms and conditions for specific Services. Those additional terms and conditions, which will be available with the relevant Services, then become part of your agreement with us if you use those Services. If any part of those additional terms and conditions conflicts with these Terms, the additional terms and conditions will prevail.


  1. FINAL TERMS

  • These Terms (together with any additional terms applicable to specific Services you use) make up the entire agreement between you and DIVERT, and supersede any prior agreements.

  • These Terms do not create or confer any third-party beneficiary rights.

  • If we do not enforce a provision in these Terms, it will not be considered a waiver.

  • We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.

  • You may not transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our consent.
