General Terms of Use

Effective date: October 30^th 2023

These General Terms of Use (“General Terms”), along with any applicable Additional Terms (see section 1.2 (Additional Terms) below) (collectively, the “Terms”) govern your use of and access to our websites, web-based applications and products, customer support, discussion forums or other interactive areas or services, and services (collectively, the “Services”) and your installation and use of any software that we may include as part of the Services, including, without limitation, mobile and desktop applications, Sample Files and Content Files (defined below), scripts, instruction sets, and related documentation (collectively, the “Software”). If you have entered into another agreement with us concerning specific Services and Software, then the terms of that agreement control where it conflicts with the Terms.

By using the Services or the Software, you affirm that you are of legal age to enter into the terms, or, if you are not, that you have obtained parental or guardian consent to enter into the terms.

1. Your Agreement with Us.

1.1. Contracting Business. We are Group One Ltd, a company registered in the United States whose address is at 70 Sea Lane, Farmingdale, New York 11735. Your contract and relationship is with us and these Terms are governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, unless preempted by U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law rules.

1.2. Additional Terms. Our Services and Software are licensed, not sold, to you, and also may be subject to one or more additional terms (“Additional Terms”). If there is any conflict between the terms in the General Terms and the Additional Terms, then the Additional Terms govern in relation to those Services or Software. The Additional Terms are subject to change as described in section 1.4 (Updates to Terms) below. The Additional Terms will contain links to any third-party software, or open source software, terms and conditions you must comply with in respect of the Services and Software.

1.3. Business Users. If you received a “Business User License” (which is defined as the right to use, access, and consume the Services and Software) from an organization or group, including but not limited to a business or any other commercial entity, government entity, non-profit organization, or educational institution (each, a “Business”) under one of our business plans, then (A) you are a “Business User” of such Business; (B) your profile associated with such Business User License is a “Business Profile”; and (C) all references to “you” in the Terms will mean such Business and its Business Users, as applicable. If you are a Business User, you agree that, due to your receipt of Business User Licenses from such Business, (1) we may provide such Business with the ability to access, use, remove, retain, and control your Business Profile and all Content therein whether uploaded or imported before or after the date the Terms were last updated; (2) your use of the Services and Software is governed by such Business’s agreement with us; and (3) we may provide your personal information to such Business. If you are a Business User with Business User Licenses from multiple Businesses, you may have separate Business Profiles associated with each Business. As a Business User, you may have different agreements with or obligations to a Business, which may affect your Business Profile or your Content. We are not responsible for any violation by you of such agreements or obligations. If you did not receive Business User Licenses from a Business, then (a) you are a “Personal User”; (b) your profile is a personal profile; (c) you maintain sole access and control over all Content in your personal account or personal profile (except as otherwise indicated in the Privacy Policy); and (d) all references to “you” in the Terms will mean you as an individual. If you receive Services and Software through a personal plan and from a Business, then you are both a Personal User and a Business User. You are a Personal User when you utilize the Software and Services you obtained through your personal plan, and you are a Business User when you utilize your Business User Licenses provided by a Business.

1.4. Updates to Terms. We may make changes to the Terms from time to time, and if we do, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the Terms and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice. Any such changes will not apply to any dispute between you and us arising prior to the date on which we posted the revised Terms incorporating such changes, or when the Terms otherwise become effective. You should look at the Terms regularly. Unless otherwise noted, the amended Terms will be effective immediately, and your continued use of our Services and Software confirm your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you must stop using our Services and Software and, if applicable, cancel your subscription.

We reserve all rights not granted under the Terms.

3.3. Storage. We recommend that you back up your Content elsewhere regularly, even if the Services provide storage and this functionality is enabled by the applicable Services. We may create reasonable technical limits, such as limits on file size, storage space, processing capacity, and other attributes. We may suspend the Services until you are within the storage space limit associated with your account. At the end of your license term, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to allow you to transition your Content out of the Services. The transition must be completed within thirty (30) days from the date of the termination or expiration of your license term. At the end of this 30-day transition period, we reserve the right to delete your Content. You should download any Content that you have stored in the Services before your license ends.

You may modify the Content Files prior to embedding them in the End Use. You may reproduce and distribute Content Files only in connection with your End Use, however, under no circumstances can you distribute the Content Files on a stand-alone basis, outside of the End Use.

memberships, offers, and trial subscriptions in our sole discretion. If access to the Services and Software is provided to you for free or for trial purposes, such access is governed by the Terms. At any time prior to or during the free or trial period, we may, in our sole discretion, terminate the free or trial access without prior notice and without any liability to you, to the extent permitted under applicable law, for any reason, including to prevent abuse of the free or trial access.

3.8. Other License Types.

3.8.1. Pre-release or Beta Version. We may designate the Services and Software, or a feature of the Services and Software, as a prerelease or beta version (“Beta Version”). A Beta Version does not represent the final Services and Software and may contain bugs that may cause system or other failure and data loss. We may choose not to release a commercial version of the Beta Version. You must promptly cease using the Beta Version and destroy all copies of the Beta Version if we request you to do so. In exchange for your use of a Beta Version, you agree that we may collect data, including crash data, regarding your use of the Beta Version and analyze your Content, including manual review, to improve our Services and Software and to personalize your experience. If you do not wish to have your usage tracked or Content analyzed, you must discontinue your use of the Beta Version by uninstalling such Beta Version or utilizing a non-Beta Version of the Services and Software. Any separate agreement we enter into with you governing the Beta Version will supersede these provisions.

3.8.2. Third-Party Services and Software. We may make third-party software and services (including plug-ins and extensions) available to you through the Services and Software as a convenience. Third-party software and services are not Services and Software as defined in the Terms and your acquisition and use of such third-party software and services is solely between you and the third party. You are responsible for complying with all applicable third-party terms.

4. Your Content.

4.1. Content. “Content” means any text, information, communication, or material, such as audio files, video files, electronic documents, or images, that you upload, import into, embed for use by, or create using the Services and Software. We reserve the right (but do not have the obligation) to remove Content or restrict access to Content, Services, and Software if any of your Content is found to be in violation of the Terms. We do not review all Content uploaded to the Services and Software, but we may use available technologies, vendors, or processes to screen for certain types of illegal content (for example, child pornography) or other abusive content or behavior.

Separately, section 4.4 (Feedback) below covers any Feedback that you provide to us.

4.3. Ownership. As between you and us, you (as a Business User or a Personal User, as applicable) retain all rights and ownership of your Content (or where applicable, you must ensure that you or the Business (as applicable) have a valid license to the Content). We do not claim any ownership rights to your Content.

4.4. Feedback. You may, at your own discretion, choose to provide us with ideas, suggestions, proposals, or bug or crash reports for the Services and Software (“Feedback“). In such event, you agree that we are the owner of such Feedback, and we are free to use it for our business purposes, including by incorporation into the Services and Software without any payment or attribution or other obligation to you. You warrant that you own all the rights and interests in and to the Feedback and you hereby assign all the rights and interests in and to the Feedback to us.

7. Fees and Payment.

7.1. Taxes and Third-Party Fees. You must pay any applicable taxes and third-party fees (including, for example, telephone toll charges, mobile carrier fees, ISP charges, data plan charges, credit card fees, VAT, foreign exchange fees, and foreign transaction fees). Please understand that applicable taxes may change, depending upon the rules of the taxing jurisdiction, and applicable third-party fees may change as well. We are not responsible for taxes or third-party fees. Contact your financial institution with questions about fees. We may take steps to collect the fees you owe us. You are responsible for all related collection costs and expenses. If you are located in a different country from us, your payments will be made to a foreign entity.

7.2. Payment and Credit Card Information.

7.2.1 Subscription and Payment Periods. When you elect a subscription, there are license fees we charge you for that subscription. Depending on the subscription we offer, you might be able to elect a payment schedule that is different from your subscription period. Simply as an example, you might have a month-to-month subscription, paid monthly, or an annual subscription, paid monthly, quarterly, annually or otherwise. A month-to-month subscription means that you are signing up for a new subscription each month, and it is not the same as a longer subscription period that you elect to pay monthly.

7.2.2 Amounts Owed May Fluctuate During Your Subscription. The amount due for any subscription may vary, even if you have an annual subscription paid monthly. Because of the variability of taxes/VAT, your actual amount due may vary during your subscription. This is not because we have changed the fees we charge, but rather it is because the tax/VAT amount has changed. This may be the case even for an annual subscription that is paid monthly.

7.2.3 Subscription Fee Changes. We may change our fees or charges associated with any subscription from time to time. We will not change our fees to you during an existing subscription period, and we will inform all current subscribers in advance of any updates to our pricing and the dates those new fees will apply to new subscriptions. We will always give you adequate notice of changes to our fees so you can choose whether to renew your subscription / allow your subscription to renew. Note that fluctuations in your payment amount due to changes to taxes/VAT (see 7.2.2 above) do not constitute a change to the actual subscription fee.

7.2.4 Credit Card Information. You authorize us or our authorized vendor(s) to store your payment method and use it for payment of your use of the Services and Software as described in a subscription. To avoid interruption of your service, we may participate in programs supported by your card provider to try to update your payment information. You authorize us or our authorized vendor(s) to continue billing and charging your account for amounts owed (all fees and taxes) with the information that we obtain.

8. Your Warranty and Indemnification Obligations.

8.1. Warranty. You must have: (A) all necessary licenses and permissions to use and share your Content; and (B) the rights necessary to grant the licenses in the Terms.

8.2. Indemnification. You will indemnify us and our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, employees, partners, and licensors from any claim(s), demand(s), loss(es), or damage(s), including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of, or related to your Content, your use of the Services and Software (as applicable), your interactions with any other users or your violation of the Terms (“Matter”). We have the right to control the defense of any Matter subject to indemnification by you with counsel of our own choosing. You will fully cooperate with us in the defense of any Matter.

9. DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES.

9.1. Unless stated in the Additional Terms, the Services and Software are provided “AS-IS.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, we, our affiliates, and third-party providers (“Covered Parties”) disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including the implied warranties of non-infringement, merchantability, and fitness for a particular purpose.

9.3. If you post your Content on our servers to publicly share through the

Services, the Covered Parties are not responsible for: (A) any loss, corruption, or damage to your Content; (B) the deletion of Content by anyone other than us; or (C) the inclusion of your Content by third parties on other websites or in other media.

10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

10.1. Unless stated otherwise in the Additional Terms, in no event shall the Covered Parties be liable to you or anyone else for any special, incidental, indirect, consequential, moral, exemplary or punitive damages whatsoever, regardless of cause, including losses and damages (A) resulting from loss of use, data, reputation, revenue, or profits; or (B) arising out of or in connection with your use of or access to the Services and Software.

11.1. Termination by You. Unless stated otherwise in the Additional Terms, you may cancel any subscription and terminate your use of the Services and Software at any time. Cancellation or termination of your account does not relieve you of any obligation to pay any outstanding fees associated with your subscription, including, but not limited to early cancellation fees.

11.2. Termination by Us. We may at any time immediately terminate or suspend your right to use and access the Services and Software, without refunds for any pre-paid fees, if in our sole discretion:

12. Trade Sanctions and Export Control Compliance.

The Services and Software, and your use of them, are subject to laws, restrictions, and regulations of the United States and other jurisdictions that (A) govern the import, export, and use of the Services and Software; and (B) may, in our sole discretion, prohibit us from providing the Services and Software to you with or without notice, in which case no refunds will be provided for any pre-paid fees. By using the Services and Software, you agree to comply with all such laws, restrictions, and regulations, and you warrant that you are not prohibited from receiving the Services and Software by the laws of any jurisdiction. Additionally, you agree not to upload to or transmit over any Services or Software any content that is controlled for export from the United States (including technical data controlled under the US International Traffic in Arms Regulations and technology controlled under the US Export Administration Regulations) without prior written approval from us.

13. Dispute Resolution, Class Action Waiver, Arbitration Agreement.

Customer Care is available to address most concerns that you may have regarding our Services and Software. Contact Customer Care info@g1limited.com.

13.1. Notice of Claim and Required Information Dispute Resolution Process. If you have any concern or dispute that Customer Care is unable to resolve (“Claim”), you agree to first try to resolve the dispute informally and in good faith by contacting us and providing a written Notice of Claim to the addresses below in section 17.2 (“Notice of Claim). The Notice of Claim must provide us with fair notice of your identity, a description of the nature and basis of your Claim, and the relief you are seeking, including the specific amount of any monetary relief you are seeking, and cannot be combined with a Notice of Claim for other individuals. If any dispute related to your Claim is not resolved within 60 days of receipt, any resulting legal actions must be resolved through either small claims court or final and binding arbitration, including any dispute about whether arbitration is required for the dispute, subject to the exceptions set forth below. Neither party shall initiate legal action until 60 days after the Notice of Claim is received. This agreement to arbitrate shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the effective date of the Terms. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of the Terms or formation of the Terms, including whether any dispute between us is subject to arbitration (i.e., the arbitrator will decide the arbitrability of any dispute) and whether all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable. Claims related to the Terms, Services, or Software are permanently barred if not brought within one year of the event resulting in the Claim.

13.2. No Class Actions. You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and you may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Nonetheless, if any portion of this class action waiver is deemed unenforceable or invalid as to a particular remedy, then that remedy (and only that remedy) must be severed from the arbitration and may be sought in court. The parties agree, however, that any adjudication of remedies not subject to arbitration shall be stayed pending the outcome of any arbitrable claims and remedies.

13.3. Arbitration Rules. If you reside in the Americas, JAMS will administer the arbitration in Los Angeles County, California, USA, pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. There will be one arbitrator that you and we mutually select. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language, but any witness whose native language is not English may give testimony in the witness’ native language, with simultaneous translation into English (at the expense of the party presenting the witness). Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered and will be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction having jurisdiction over you and us. In the event of a conflict between the rules of the arbitration provider and the Terms, including with respect to the assessment of the fees and costs of arbitration, the Terms will govern.

13.4. Arbitration Fees and Costs. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees and costs of arbitration will be governed by the rules of the arbitration provider, except that to the extent that you bring a Claim as part of a Coordinated Action, we agree that the parties will equally share all of the fees and costs of arbitration (to the extent that allocation is not already required under applicable rules). For purposes of this section, a “Coordinated Action” is any action in which you are represented by a law firm or collection of law firms that has filed numerous coordinated individual arbitration demands of the same or similar nature against us within a short time. Notwithstanding the above, if you are unable to afford fees or costs of arbitration, we will pay them. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of a Claim or the relief sought in arbitration was frivolous, or a Claim was brought for an improper purpose, the parties may seek to re-allocate the fees and costs of arbitration, according to the rules of the arbitration provider.

13.5. Exceptions to Arbitration – Small Claims and Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may elect to have any Claim that is subject to the jurisdiction of small claims court decided in small claims court in Los Angeles County, California, USA. If either party files a Claim in arbitration that could have been brought in small claims court, the other party may provide notice that it wants the case decided in small claims court before the appointment of an arbitrator, and the arbitrator shall administratively close the case before assessing any fees, and the party bringing the Claim must proceed in small claims court in lieu of arbitration. Any dispute about whether a Claim qualifies for small claims court shall be resolved by that court, not by an arbitrator. In the event of any such dispute, the arbitration proceeding shall remain closed unless and until a decision by the small claims court that the Claim should proceed in arbitration. Additionally, either party shall be entitled to apply for preliminary injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction, such as in the event of your or others’ unauthorized access to or use of the Services or Software in violation of the Terms. If a party has a dispute in which they seek to obtain both preliminary injunctive relief and other forms of relief, the party may go to court to seek preliminary injunctive relief but must arbitrate its claims or seek relief in small claims court for all other forms of relief.

13.6. Acceptance of Arbitration and Right to Opt Out. Within the first thirty (30) days of your use of the Services and Software or the date of the last update to section 13 (Dispute Resolution, Class Action Waiver, Arbitration Agreement) of the Terms, whichever is later, you have the right to opt out of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions of section 13 (Dispute Resolution, Class Action Waiver, Arbitration Agreement) by sending us written notice of your decision at the address set forth in section 17.2 (Notice to Us). If you opt out of these provisions, we will also not be bound by them.

14. Audit Rights.

If you are a Business, then we may, no more than once every twelve (12) months, upon at least seven (7) days’ prior notice to you, appoint our personnel or an independent third-party auditor who is obliged to maintain confidentiality, to inspect (including manual inspection, electronic methods, or both) your records, systems, and facilities to verify that your installation and use of Services or Software comply with our Terms. Additionally, you will provide us with all records and information requested by us within thirty (30) days of our request in order for us to verify that the installation and use of any and all Services and Software is in conformity with your valid licenses. If the verification discloses a shortfall in conformity with the licenses for the Services and Software, you will immediately acquire any necessary licenses, subscriptions, and applicable back maintenance and support or other applicable action in order to remedy any such non-conformity(ies).

We may, in our discretion, either provide such information to you or impose reasonable conditions, including a reasonable fee, on your decompilation of the Services or Software to ensure that our and our licensors’ and suppliers’ proprietary rights in the Services and Software are protected.
