SpotOn User Terms of Service

Welcome to SpotOn!

THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY SPOTON TRANSACT, LLC (TOGETHER WITH ITS AFFILIATES, “SPOTON”) ARE PROVIDED SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF SERVICE SET FORTH BELOW. THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, INCLUDING THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT SET FORTH BELOW, ARE A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND SPOTON. PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING ANY OF SPOTON’S SERVICES. BY USING SPOTON’S SERVICES YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE.

What SpotOn Does

SpotOn Transact, LLC provides various technology (the “SpotOn Technology”) and services to merchants. Such merchant services allow participating merchants to provide services to you, which may include sending you special offers; offering loyalty programs; or allowing you to schedule appointments, make reservations, purchase goods or services from the merchant, and/or to pay the merchant through SpotOn’s payment processing services (these and other services provided by SpotOn to merchants are called “Merchant Services”).

SpotOn may also provide services directly to you, through a SpotOn website (a “SpotOn Website”) and/or one or more mobile apps (“SpotOn Mobile”), to allow you to interact through SpotOn with merchants that use SpotOn Technology. Such services may allow you to sign up through SpotOn to participate in a merchant’s loyalty program or to receive messages and special offers from a merchant; make appointments or reservations, or purchase goods and services from a merchant through SpotOn (these and other services that SpotOn provides directly to you and other persons are called “User Services,” and all users of User Services are called “Users.”).

We call each merchant that uses SpotOn Technology a “Merchant” and we call the Merchant Services and the User Services, together, the “Services.”

These Terms of Service and SpotOn’s Privacy Policy apply to the User Services, whether performed by SpotOn Transact, LLC, one of its affiliates, or a third party on behalf of SpotOn Transact, LLC or any of its affiliates. When you interact with Merchants using SpotOn Technology, the Merchant’s terms of service and privacy policy apply; you should read and accept each Merchant’s terms of service and privacy policy before interacting with such Merchant.

Each Merchant has agreed with SpotOn that it will follow certain rules in its interactions with Users through the SpotOn Technology; those agreed-upon rules are summarized below, under the title “The Roles of Merchants and SpotOn; Merchant Rules.” While SpotOn will provide the SpotOn Technology only to Merchants that have agreed to those rules, SpotOn is not responsible for assuring that each Merchant acts in accordance with them. The rules are summarized in these Terms of Service only so that you will be aware of SpotOn’s expectations with respect to how Merchants interact with you. You should check with each Merchant to confirm that they are following those rules and that you agree to each Merchant’s terms of use and privacy policy. Because a Merchant’s terms of use and privacy policy may change over time, you should check them frequently.

Terms that Apply to You

These are the Terms of Service (“Terms”) that govern your use of User Services, whether you use a SpotOn Website, SpotOn Mobile, or otherwise interact directly with SpotOn.

By submitting any text or content, including registering an account, or by making any use of SpotOn Mobile, a SpotOn Website and/or the User Services in any manner, you hereby accept these Terms. You also accept these Terms by signing up for or agreeing to receive products or services (including communications) offered by Merchants that make use of SpotOn’s Merchant Services. You represent and warrant to SpotOn that you: (a) are at least 13 years of age, (b) have the authority to enter into this Agreement, and (c) have read and understand the Privacy Policy, located at www.spoton.com/legal/consumer-privacy, the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference. If you are between the ages of 13 and 18 and your parent or guardian has any questions about your use of a SpotOn Website, SpotOn Mobile or any other SpotOn Technology, please ask him or her to contact us at Support@SpotOn.com. If you do not agree to these Terms, please immediately cease using the User Services, including any SpotOn Website and SpotOn. SpotOn may amend these Terms from time to time, and such revised versions will become effective when posted on a SpotOn Website or in SpotOn Mobile. You should review each SpotOn Website and SpotOn Mobile regularly to ensure that you have reviewed the latest version.

Access to User Services

You are hereby granted a non-transferable, non-exclusive, limited, revocable license to use the User Services and software provided to you through a SpotOn Website and SpotOn Mobile. You may register for the User Services at one of our Merchant locations or by authorizing a Merchant to set up your account, by booking an appointment through the Appointments Wizard, making a reservation through the Restaurant Waitlist and/or Reservations software, ordering services or products online through SpotOn, or when prompted through a third-party website that we integrate with (e.g., Facebook or Google), or any other process or method that SpotOn may be implement in the future. Your use of the User Services constitutes your acceptance of these Terms. SpotOn may refuse to offer the Services to anyone at any time, and may withdraw access to the Services from anyone at any time, in the sole discretion of SpotOn.

Services

Using a SpotOn Website or SpotOn Mobile, or by registering for the User Services through a Merchant, you may sign up to receive special coupons, messages and other information (“Notes”) that may include special promotions or offers (“Offers”), which a Merchant may send through social media platforms that may include Facebook, Twitter, and other social media services that may be included in the Services from time to time (“Social Media Tools”). You may also be able to invite friends to view Notes or Offers that you think would be of interest to them, through certain Social Media Tools. If a Merchant operates a loyalty program through SpotOn Technology that allows customers to accrue points or credits, you may access your current point total and the terms of Merchant’s loyalty program through the User Services.

From time to time, Merchants may provide additional Services using the SpotOn Technology, including options to make payments for certain Merchant services or products, make reservations or appointments, make purchases, or other services.

There is currently no charge for the use of any of these Services, but you should be aware that rates and fees charged by third parties may apply.

How to Use the Services

In order to receive Notes and keep track of your loyalty program points you should register with each Merchant that interests you at the Merchant’s location or on its Facebook page or other Social Media Tool the Merchant may use, which will automatically register you with SpotOn, or you may register directly with SpotOn on the applicable SpotOn Website and/or via SpotOn Mobile. Merchants may also register you for the Services by sending your contact information to SpotOn, which Merchants have agreed to do only with your consent (See “The Roles of Merchants and SpotOn; Merchant Rules,” below). Where indicated on the registration page, you will need to provide (or one or more Merchants may provide on your behalf) certain information, which may include your telephone number, your email address, first and/or last names, zip code and birthdate (“Registration Information”). Some of the foregoing information may be optional (see following paragraph).

After you register, you may be offered the opportunity to receive Notes and Offers via Facebook, Twitter or other Social Media Tools, and to participate in various programs to earn additional benefits. A Merchant with which you have registered and SpotOn may offer other programs or opportunities to registered Users from time to time.

If you already authorized one or more Merchants to send you Notes through mobile communications (e.g., SMS text messaging or mobile notifications), you need not re-register for that service, but when you register with a new Merchant to receive Notes you are authorizing such Merchants to send you Notes through mobile communications. In either case, your Registration Information will be associated by the Merchant and SpotOn with your email address. When you authorize SpotOn or a Merchant to send you Notes, or authorize a Merchant to send you Notes, as described above, you are authorizing SpotOn and the selected Merchant(s) to use your mobile number to send Notes and/or other messages to you.

Content of this Site and Notes

You understand that the Notes, the SpotOn Website, SpotOn Mobile, and/or other messages that you may receive from time to time from a Merchant contain trademarks, logos, artwork, and text that was created by or for the Merchant or SpotOn, and that is protected by trademark and/or copyright law. You agree not to use any such materials in any way without the prior written permission of the Merchant or SpotOn, as the case may be. You may, however, post Notes (including Offers) through the tools provided for that purpose through the Social Media Tools, or forward Notes or Offers to friends.

Social Media Tools and Third Party Links

Neither the Merchants nor SpotOn control the Social Media Tools through which the Services may be provided. Further, you may see links to third-party sites that are not controlled by a Merchant or SpotOn (all of the foregoing, “Third-Party Sites”). YOU AGREE THAT NEITHER SPOTON NOR ANY MERCHANT IS LIABLE FOR THE PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES OFFERED THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA TOOLS OR ANY OTHER THIRD-PARTY SITES. NEITHER SPOTON NOR ANY MERCHANT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OR OFFER ANY WARRANTY REGARDING THE QUALITY, ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, RELIABILITY OR ANY OTHER ASPECTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA TOOLS OR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES FROM THIRD PARTIES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU RELEASE SPOTON AND THE MERCHANTS FROM ANY DAMAGES THAT YOU INCUR, AND YOU AGREE NOT TO ASSERT ANY CLAIMS AGAINST SPOTON OR ANY MERCHANT ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA TOOLS OR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES FROM THIRD PARTIES. In connection with the foregoing release, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542 and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction. California Civil Code Section 1542 states: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement (“Arbitration Agreement”)

If we cannot resolve any complaint or dispute by negotiation, such dispute shall be resolved through binding arbitration unless you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement using the process explained below. You understand and agree that you are waiving your right to sue or go to court to assert or defend your rights. The term "dispute" means any dispute, action, claim, or other controversy between you and SpotOn, whether in contract, warranty, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis. "Dispute" will be given the broadest possible meaning allowable under law.

Right to Opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within the first 30 days after the earliest of the first time you sign up for any program or service provided by SpotOn. You may also opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within 30 days after we notify you regarding a material change to this Arbitration Agreement. You may opt out by sending an email to [insert email address] or by sending a letter to [insert address]. You should include your printed name, mailing address, and the words "Reject Arbitration.”

Waiver of Right to Bring Class Action and Representative Claims. All arbitrations shall proceed on an individual basis. The arbitrator is empowered to resolve the dispute with the same remedies available in court, including public injunctive relief. You and SpotOn also agree that each may bring claims against the other in arbitration only in your or their respective individual capacities and in so doing you and SpotOn hereby waive the right to a trial by jury, to assert or participate in any class action lawsuit or class action arbitration, any private attorney general lawsuit or private attorney general arbitration, and any joint or consolidated lawsuit or joint or consolidated arbitration of any kind. If a court decides that the limitations of this particular paragraph regarding class action waiver are deemed invalid or unenforceable, any putative class, private attorney general, or representative action must be brought in a court of proper jurisdiction and not in arbitration.

How Arbitration Works. Either you or SpotOn may initiate such arbitration by notifying the other party and the alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that you or SpotOn wishes to initiate a binding arbitration proceeding. Such arbitration shall be handled by the American Arbitration Association or another established ADR Provider mutually agreed upon by the parties involved in the dispute. The arbitrator shall apply Illinois law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitation, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. The party initiating arbitration can elect non-appearance-based or appearance-based arbitration. For non- appearance-based arbitration: a) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; and b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. For appearance- based arbitration, the arbitration shall be held at a location determined by the ADR Provider in Chicago, Illinois, or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties involved in the dispute. Any judgment on an arbitration award rendered by the arbitrator (whether the arbitration was non- appearance-based or appearance-based) may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Any arbitration or action brought by you with respect to anything related to the Services must be brought, if at all, within one (1) year from the accrual of such cause of action. A printed version of these Terms will be admissible in arbitration, judicial and administrative proceedings based upon or related to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

Law and Forum for Disputes. These Terms shall be governed in all respects, including validity, interpretation, and effect, by the internal laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to any conflicts of laws rules. Exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of these Terms or any action to enforce rights under these Terms, including any claim for injunctive or other equitable relief or to enforce a binding arbitration award, shall be in the state or federal courts located in Chicago, Illinois. You hereby irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Chicago, Illinois for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes, including for enforcing an arbitration award, agrees to venue in such courts and will not allege forum non-conveniens or otherwise seek to bring or move any such action in or to any other location.

Applicable Law

The Services are offered through technology owned and controlled by SpotOn from its offices within the State of Illinois, United States of America. Since the Services can be accessed from all 50 states, as well as from other countries around the world, and each of these places has laws that may differ from those of Illinois, by accessing a SpotOn Website or SpotOn Mobile, or by using the Services, you and SpotOn agree that the statutes and laws of the state of Illinois, without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof, will apply to all matters relating to use of a SpotOn Website, SpotOn Mobile and the Services. Neither SpotOn nor any Merchant makes any representation that the Services are appropriate or legal in countries other than the United States, or that they will be available for use outside of the United States. If you use the Services from outside the United States, you are entirely responsible for compliance with applicable local laws, including the export and import regulations of other countries relating to the content of any Notes and anything purchased in response to an Offer. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, the Services, all Notes and all loyalty programs of Merchants are intended solely for use by individuals located in the United States.
