For consumers who reside in the EEA you can access the European Commission’s online dispute resolution platform here: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Please note that we are not committed nor obliged to use an alternative dispute resolution entity to resolve disputes with consumers. The European Commission’s online dispute resolution platform is not available for residents of certain countries such as for example Switzerland or the United Kingdom. Thank you for using Bird Weather! This website (“Site”) is owned and operated by Scribe Labs Inc, including any affiliates (collectively “Scribe,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your legal rights to use or access our services, software, mobile application, and our websites (the “Services”) and to the extent applicable, any current or future hardware products or devices (“Products”). These Terms also govern your legal rights with respect to Third Party Services (defined below). 

Please read these Terms carefully before purchasing or using the Products or Services or purchasing or using Third Party Services because these Terms (together with our Privacy Notice and other user agreements, where applicable) constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Scribe (this “Agreement”). By using or accessing our Products or Services or purchasing or using Third Party Services, you signify that you understand and agree to the terms and conditions that are stated in this agreement.  It is important to read these terms closely because they include significant information about limitation of liability, a class action waiver, and an arbitration provision, requiring you to arbitrate any claims you may have against Scribe on an individual basis. 

ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE, AND YOU WAIVE, THE RIGHT FOR A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. 

If you do not agree with these Terms, you should not use this site or use our Products or Services or Third Party Services.

RECORDINGS
This Site assists to record, capture, share and permanently store the sounds of nature relating to birds and other animals.

Users may limit the ability of other users of the Service from listening to recordings by changing their settings to Private. In the event that the settings are set to Private, Scribe will still retain access to the recordings and may still share them with third parties such as for example for scientific research purposes. Scribe aims to exclude recordings of human speech from being transmitted, as feasible. However, it is possible that human speech is inadvertently included such as for example from algorithms that may occasionally mistake human speech for a bird or animal sound. You may request that specific audio recordings be deleted from our Site that you have shown contain human speech by contacting support@birdweather.com.

We make no representation that such information, products, programs, or services referenced on the Products or Services are legal, available, or appropriate in your country or region. You agree that these Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California and the United States of America, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. You and Scribe agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall NOT apply to these Terms or your use of this Site, including related purchases, if any.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Mandatory, Bilateral Arbitration and Waiver of Class Actions PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. YOU AND SCRIBE AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES AND/OR PRODUCTS, TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR TO THE CONTENT, ANY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN US AND/OR ANY RECORDING ON THE SERVICES AND/OR PRODUCTS SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY BY FINAL AND BINDING, BILATERAL ARBITRATION, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court in your county of residence within the United States if your claims qualify; and (2) this agreement to arbitrate does not include your or Scribe’s right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in state or federal court in San Mateo County, California to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. The Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement and govern all questions as to whether a dispute is subject to arbitration. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. An arbitrator, however, can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of the Agreement. “Disputes” shall include, but are not limited to, any claims or controversies between you and Scribe against each other related in any way to or arising out of in any way from this Agreement, the Services, the Products, and/or the Content, including but not limited to sales, returns, refunds, cancellations, defects, policies, privacy, advertising, or any communications between you and Scribe, even if the claim arises after you or Scribe has terminated Services or a user account. Disputes also include, but are not limited to, claims that: (a) you bring against our employees, agents, affiliates, or other representatives; or (b) Scribe brings against you. Disputes also include, but are not limited to, (i) claims in any way related to or arising out of any aspect of the relationship between you and Scribe, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, advertising claims, or any other legal theory; (ii) claims that arose before these Terms or out of a prior set of Terms with Scribe; (iii) claims that are subject to on-going litigation where you are not a party or a class member; and/or (iv) claims that arise after the termination of these Terms. Arbitration shall (1) be administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures then in effect (the “JAMS Rules”) and as modified by this agreement to arbitrate, including the rules regarding filing, administration, discovery, and arbitrator fees; (2) be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator; and (3) take place in San Mateo County, California, United States of America. To the extent that this agreement to arbitrate conflicts with the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards for Procedural Fairness (the “Minimum Standards”), the Minimum Standards in that regard will apply. WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. Further, unless both you and Scribe expressly agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. If, for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive our right to a jury trial. YOU THEREFORE UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND SCRIBE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION FOR ANY CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT. The JAMS Rules are available on its website at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/. Notwithstanding any JAMS Rules to the contrary or any other provision in the arbitration rules chosen, by agreement, to govern, you and Scribe each agree that all issues regarding the Dispute are delegated to the arbitrator to decide. Further, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency or other regulator, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction worldwide.  To initiate arbitration, you must first send to Scribe, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim ("Notice") and such Notice to Scribe must be addressed to: CSC, 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE 19808-1674.

MISCELLANEOUS
If any provision of these Terms shall be deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from the remaining Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Any provisions which contemplate or require continued performance shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement including without limitation by way of example: any obligation you have to pay us or indemnify us, any limitations on our liability, any terms regarding ownership of intellectual property rights, and terms regarding disputes between us.  Nothing contained in this Agreement or your use of the Site shall be construed to constitute either party as a partner, joint venturer, employee, or agent of the other party, nor shall either party hold itself out as such. Neither party has any right or authority to incur, assume, or create, in writing or otherwise, any warranty, liability or other obligation of any kind, express or implied, in the name of or on behalf of the other party, it being intended by both parties that each shall remain independent contractors responsible for its own actions. You acknowledge and agree that Scribe may at any time, without giving you notice or seeking your consent, transfer and assign all personal information, Content and associated rights and licenses that Scribe has obtained from you as well as all agreements Scribe has made with you in connection with your use of this Site, to (i) an affiliate or (ii) a third party that acquires or merges with Scribe or to which Scribe sells or otherwise transfers its business or assets (including this Site). The failure of Scribe to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of this Agreement by Scribe must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Scribe.
