  You can increase your user subscriptions to specified end users based on a unique E-mail ID that provides the user identified by the unique E-mail ID access to the Services. We will automatically bill you from the date the new user is authenticated by the Services. You will be billed monthly and your bill is calculated daily on pro-rata basis for new User’s. You’re responsible for all applicable taxes, and we’ll charge tax when required to do so.

Your cancellation rights, and the mechanism via which you may notify us of your decision to cancel, will be disclosed to you at or prior to the time at which you purchase a subscription. You can cancel the Services at any time or delete users from the Services. Refunds are only issued if required by law.

We may decide to discontinue the Services in response to unforeseen circumstances beyond Cocoon Data’s control or to comply with a legal requirement. If we do so, we will give you reasonable prior notice so that you can export Your Data from our systems. If we discontinue the Services in this way before the end of any fixed or minimum term you have paid us for, we will refund the portion of the fees you have pre-paid but have not received Services for.

We strive to provide great Services, but there are certain things that we cannot guarantee. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Cocoon Data AND ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS AND DISTRIBUTORS MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ABOUT THE SERVICES. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”. WE ALSO DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. Some places do not allow the disclaimers in this paragraph, so they may not apply to you.

If you a consumer under the Australian Consumer Law, our Services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the Services repaired or replaced if the Services fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms and to the extent permitted by applicable law, Cocoon Data’s liability arising from or in relation to a claim under or a breach of any warranty or statutory guarantee that cannot be excluded will be limited, at Cocoon Data’s option:

• To the supplying of the Services again; or
• The payment of the cost of having the Services supplied again.

WE DO NOT EXCLUDE OR LIMIT OUR LIABILITY TO YOU WHERE IT WOULD BE ILLEGAL TO DO SO – THIS INCLUDES ANY LIABILITY FOR Cocoon Data’s OR ITS AFFILIATES’ FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION IN PROVIDING THE SERVICES. IN COUNTRIES WHERE THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF EXCLUSION ARE NOT ALLOWED, WE ARE RESPONSIBLE TO YOU ONLY FOR LOSSES AND DAMAGES THAT ARE A REASONABLY FORESEEABLE RESULT OF OUR FAILURE TO USE REASONABLE CARE AND SKILL OR OUR BREACH OF OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU. THIS PARAGRAPH DOES NOT AFFECT CONSUMER RIGHTS THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED OR LIMITED BY ANY CONTRACT OR AGREEMENT.


IN COUNTRIES WHERE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY ARE ALLOWED, Cocoon Data, ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS OR DISTRIBUTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR:

• ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR
• ANY LOSS OF USE, DATA, BUSINESS OR PROFITS, REGARDLESS OF LEGAL THEORY.
  
  THESE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT Cocoon Data OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES HAVE BEEN WARNED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
  
  IF YOU USE THE SERVICES FOR ANY COMMERCIAL, BUSINESS OR RE-SALE PURPOSE, Cocoon Data, ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS OR DISTRIBUTORS WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFIT, LOSS OF BUSINESS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY. Cocoon Data AND ITS AFFILIATES AREN’T RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF ANY USERS OF THE SERVICES.
  
  OTHER THAN FOR THE TYPES OF LIABILITY WE CANNOT LIMIT BY LAW (AS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION), WE LIMIT OUR LIABILITY TO YOU TO THE GREATER OF $20 USD OR 100% OF ANY AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID UNDER YOUR CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION WITH Cocoon Data.

We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against Cocoon Data, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at info@cocoondata.com. We will try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you via email. If a dispute is not resolved within 45 days of submission, you or Cocoon Data may bring a formal proceeding.

Judicial Forum for Disputes. Subject to Clause 16 and 17 below, You and Cocoon Data agree that any judicial proceeding to resolve claims relating to these Terms or the Services will be brought in the State of New South Wales, Australia subject to the mandatory arbitration provisions below. Both you and Cocoon Data consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in such courts. If you reside in a country (for example, a member state of the European Union) with laws that give consumers the right to bring disputes in their local courts, this paragraph doesn’t affect those requirements.

If you are a US Resident, you also agree to the following mandatory arbitration provisions:

We both agree to arbitrate. You and Cocoon Data agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms or the Services through final and binding arbitration by a single arbitrator, except as set forth under ‘Exceptions to agreement to arbitrate’ below. This includes disputes arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this ‘Mandatory arbitration provisions’ section, including its enforceability, revocability or validity.

Opt-out of agreement to arbitrate. You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by clicking here and submitting an opt-out email within 30 days of first registering your account. However, if you agreed to a previous version of these Terms that allowed you to opt out of arbitration, your previous choice to opt out or not opt out remains binding.

Arbitration procedures. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you live or work, in Denver (CO) or in any other location we agree to.

Arbitration fees and incentives. The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Cocoon Data will pay all arbitration fees for individual arbitration for claims less than $75,000. If you receive an arbitration award that is more favourable than any offer we make to resolve the claim, we will pay you $1,000 in addition to the award. Cocoon Data will not seek its legal fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous.

Exceptions to agreement to arbitrate. Either you or Cocoon Data may assert claims, if they qualify, in a small claims court in Denver (CO) or any United States county where you live or work. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorised use or abuse of the Services, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute resolution process described above. If the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Denver, Colorado, USA to resolve your claim.

No Class actions. You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, the entirety of this ‘Mandatory arbitration provisions’ section will be deemed void.

If the address you have provided to us for billing purposes is domiciled in the United States of America, then these Terms will be governed by the laws in force in the state in which that address is found.

Otherwise, and if the address provided to us for billing purposes is outside the United States of America, then these Terms will be governed by New South Wales, Australia law except for its conflicts of laws principles.

Notwithstanding the above, we recognise that some countries (including those in the European Union) have laws that require agreements to be governed by the local laws of the consumer’s country. This paragraph does not override those laws.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Cocoon Data with respect to the subject matter of these Terms and supersede and replace any other prior or contemporaneous agreements, or terms and conditions applicable to the subject matter of these Terms. These Terms create no third-party beneficiary rights.

Cocoon Data’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Terms will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible. You may not assign any of your rights under these Terms, and any such attempt will be void. Cocoon Data may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in the interest of any business associated with the Services.

We may revise these Terms from time to time to better reflect:

• Changes to the law,
• New regulatory requirements, or
• Improvements or enhancements made to our Services.
  

If an update affects your use of the Services or your legal rights as a user of our Services, we will notify you prior to the update’s effective date by sending an email to the email address associated with your account or via an in-product notification. These updated terms will be effective no less than 30 days from when we notify you.

If you do not agree to the updates we make, please cancel your account before they become effective. Where applicable, we will offer you a pro rata refund based on the amounts you have prepaid for Services and your account cancellation date. By continuing to use or access the Services after the updates come into effect, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms.
