Introduction

We, Truple, have developed these Terms of Use (“Terms”). We encourage you to read these Terms carefully.

By viewing, downloading, installing, using, or opening the Truple, service, or applications (together, our “Services”), you accept and agree to these Terms. In your use of services, you will likely have one or more “report recipients,” who may view screenshots and other data captured during your use of our Services. You should only choose report recipients you trust with private personal information. We make our best efforts to filter personal information from screenshots, but we aren’t perfect. Any person with access to any information related to our Services will be assumed to have read and agreed to these Terms and our Privacy Policy, including any report recipients. Our Privacy Policy is available at https://truple.io/privacy.html.

We may revise and update these Terms from time to time. If we do this, we will update this document at https://truple.io/termsofuse.html and indicate at the top of the page the date that these terms were last revised. Your continued use of our Services after any such change constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree to this or any future Terms, you may not use or access the Services. It is your responsibility to regularly check the Terms to determine if there have been changes and to review such changes. Truple reserves the right to refuse service to anyone, for any reason.

These Terms will remain in full force and effect while you use any aspect of the Services and after you discontinue use. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF USE, DO NOT USE THE SERVICES AND DO NOT SUBMIT ANY INFORMATION TO US.

THESE TERMS CONTAIN A DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THESE TERMS WITH RESPECT TO DISPUTES THAT YOU MAY HAVE WITH TRUPLE LLC. YOU MAY OPT OUT OF THE BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROVISION AS PROVIDED BELOW.

Any dispute between you and Truple LLC arising from or related to these Terms or the Services shall be governed by the law of the State of Washington.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

Please read this provision carefully. It affects your legal rights.

This Dispute Resolution and Arbitration provision (this “Provision”) facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any dispute (e.g., claim or controversy, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, and negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory, including the validity, enforceability, and scope of this Provision) that may arise between you and Truple LLC. In these Terms, “dispute” has the broadest meaning allowable by law, and includes all claims against third parties (such as our licensors, suppliers, dealers, or vendors) relating to these Terms or the Services whenever you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding.

This Provision provides that all disputes between you and us will be resolved by binding arbitration. Acceptance of these Terms constitutes a waiver of your right to litigation of claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or a jury.

To be clear, there is no judge or jury in arbitration and judicial review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this Provision and can award the same damages and relief (including attorney’s fees) that a court is permitted to award. You may, however, opt-out of this Provision. If done, you would have the right or the opportunity to bring claims in court, before a judge or a jury, or to participate in or to be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). BOTH YOU AND TRUPLE LLC AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.

Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. For all Disputes, you must first give us an opportunity to resolve the Dispute. To do so, you must email the following information to support@truple.io: (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your claim, and (4) a description of the specific relief that you are seeking. If we do not resolve the Dispute by the 60th day following the date on which we receive your notification, you may pursue your Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue your Dispute in court only under the circumstances described below.

Exclusions from Arbitration and Right to Opt-Out. Despite anything to the contrary above, you or we may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if: (a) the dispute qualifies for initiation in small claims court or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES IN THESE TERMS BY THE 30TH DAY FOLLOWING THE DATE ON WHICH YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THESE TERMS (the “opt-out deadline”). You may opt-out of mandatory arbitration as described in this Provision by emailing the following information to support@truple.io: (1) your name, (2) your address, and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with us through arbitration. Any opt-out request received after the opt-out deadline will not be valid and you will be required to pursue any dispute in arbitration or in small claims court.

Arbitration Procedures. If this Provision applies and the dispute is not resolved through the Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution process, either you or we may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (www.adr.org) or JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) will arbitrate all Disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration will be an individual arbitration and will not be a class arbitration. All issues will be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Provision. For Disputes of less than $75,000 before the AAA, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply. For Disputes where the claimed amount at issue is $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection will apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols for Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class or collective action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.

Because these Terms and the Services concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or conditions precedent to suit.

Arbitration Award. The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that is available under applicable law, but the arbitrator may not award relief to, against, or for the benefit of any person or entity that is not a party to the arbitration. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested to do so by a party. Any arbitration award will be final and binding on the parties, 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 we may initiate arbitration in either the State of Washington or in the federal judicial district in which your physical address is located. We may transfer any arbitration to the State of Washington, so long as we agree to pay any additional fees or costs that the arbitrator determines you have incurred because of the transfer.

Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs. You agree that all arbitration fees will be divided equally between you and us. You will still be responsible for all additional expenses and costs that you incur in the arbitration, including your attorney’s fees and fees for expert witnesses.

Jury Waiver. You understand and agree that by accepting this Provision, you and we are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Provision, you and we might otherwise have had the right or the opportunity to bring disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, or to participate or to be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, these rights are waived. Other rights that you would have if you went to court (such as the right to appellate review and to certain types of discovery) may be more limited or may also be waived.

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

Continuation. This Provision will survive the termination of your account with us and your discontinued use of the Services. We agree that if we make any change to this Provision (other than a change to the notice address), you may reject the change and require us to adhere to the language in this Provision if a dispute between you and us arises.
