SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Pellea!

As part of our mission of helping make our community and marketplace to be better for everyone, Pellea collects and processes a lot of information. This Terms of Use is intended to help you better understand how we collect, use and store your personal information-whether you are a vendor that uses Pellea’s products or services, applications or services (together, the “Services”), a member that shops at a store using our technology, a participant as an affiliate or whether you’re simply visiting these websites. By using any of Pellea’s Services, or by dealing with a Vendor or Affiliate using Pellea’s Services, you are agreeing to the terms of these Terms of Use and, as applicable, Pellea’s Privacy Policy

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time to show, such as changes to our service practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. If we make material changes to these Term of Service, we will give you notice of such changes by posting the revised term on these websites, and where right, by other means. By continuing to use these websites or the Support Service after these changes are posted, you agree to the revised terms.

SECTION 2 – ELIGIBILITY, REGISTRATION, AND ACCOUNT

You must be at least 18 years old to get access to or use the Services. By registering to use our Services, you represent that you are at least 18 years old. To use certain areas and features of our Services, you will need to register for an account using either your email address or your login credentials from a third-party social media site. If you register with your email address, you agree to create a unique password that you do not use with any other online product and/or service. By registering for an account, you further agree to (a) give correct, truthful, current and complete information; (b) maintain and promptly update your account information upon any changes; (c) maintain the security of your account by protecting your password and restricting access to your account; (d) promptly notify Pellea if you discover or otherwise suspect any security breaches related to the Services; and (e) take responsibility for all activities that occur under your account and accept all risks of any authorized or unauthorized access.

SECTION 3 – INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER MEMBERS

3.1 You Have Sole Responsibility When Interacting with Other Members. Our Services give a platform for members to learn about one another, arrange the offerings of products/services, engage in activities, and communicate with one another. Pellea is not a party to, has no involvement or interest in, makes no representations or warranties as to, and has no responsibility or liability concerning any communications, transactions, interactions, disputes or any relations whatsoever between you and any other member, person or organization. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other members of our Services. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to check interactions between you and other members of our Services.

Remember, Pellea Services is just a platform that enables you to communicate and interact with other people around the world. We cannot be responsible for the interactions that you have with other Pellea members, so please use good judgment and keep safety in mind when you use our Services.

3.2 Identity Verification. We cannot and do not confirm each member’s identity. Although we give tools intended to help with identity verification, such as our address verification tool (as described in Section 3.3), you are solely responsible for determining the identity and suitability of others with whom you may interact through our Services. Pellea does not represent or permit that our tools are enough to decide whether it is right for you to interact with another member. Further, we do not endorse any persons who use or register for our Services. We do not investigate or verify any member’s reputation, conduct, morality, criminal background, or any information members may submit to the Services (other than the address-verification tool as described in Section 3.3). We urge you to take precautions when interacting with other members, particularly when meeting a stranger in person for the first time.

3.3 Our Address-Verification Tool. Our address verification tool is intended merely to confirm that the postal address a member submits to us is an address at which that member can get access to or receive mail. Pellea’s address verification tool is not intended to confirm that a member resides at a particular address. While this is one of many ways to reduces the risk of misconduct by a member, it is not a guarantee of any member’s identity or good faith.

3.4 Member-Hosted Events; Pellea members may organize in-person meetings and host events for other Pellea members; however, these events are not sponsored or endorsed by Pellea and members attend such meetings and events at their own risk.

3.5 Release. Because our Services are merely a platform, if you have a dispute with one or more members, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law you release us (and our officers, directors, members, employees, agents, and affiliates) from claims, demands and damages (real and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

SECTION 4 – MEMBER CONDUCT AND CONTENT

The Services include interactive areas where you or other members can create, post or store content, messages, materials, data, information, text, music, sound, photos, videos, graphics or other items or materials on the Services (collectively, “Member Content”). You are solely responsible for your use of such interactive areas and agree that your use of these areas is at your own risk.

4.1 Member Content Restrictions. You are solely responsible for any Member Content that you give, post, or send via our Services. You agree not to post, upload to, send, distribute, store, create or otherwise publish through the Services, Member Content that we believe, in our sole discretion:

Pellea is not responsible for any Member Content that you or other members post, send or store through the Services.

If you become aware of Member Content that violates these Terms, you may tell us of such content by using the reporting tools provided on our Services. Enforcement of these Terms, however, is solely in our discretion and the absence of enforcement in some instances does not waive our right to enforce the Terms in other instances. Also, these Terms do not create a private right of action on the part of any third-party or any reasonable expectation that the Services will not contain any content that is prohibited by such rules.

4.2 Member Conduct. By accessing or using the Services, you agree to act responsibly, exercise good judgment, and comply with the Community Guidelines. Also, you agree not to:

(l) help any third party in doing any of the foregoing.

4.3 Member Content License. You own all the Member Content that you post to our Services. If you post Member Content to our Services, you hereby grant us a perpetual (i.e. lasting forever), worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free and fully sublicensable (i.e. we can grant this right to others) license to use, reproduce, display, do, adapt, change, create derivative works from, distribute, have distributed and promoted such Member Content in any form, in all media now known or hereinafter created (including in emails or other communications to our members) to administer, operate, develop and otherwise provide the Pellea Services. You represent and warrant that (a) you own and control all the rights to the Member Content that you post or you otherwise have the right to post such Member Content to the Services; (b) the Member Content is correct and not misleading, and (c) the use and posting of the Member Content you supply does not violate these Terms and will not violate any rights of or cause injury to any person or entity. You own the Member Content that you post to our Services. If Member Content has information about you, our Privacy Policy will apply, and we urge you to check this policy for information about how we can use and share such information.

SECTION 5 – SUBMISSIONS

Separate and apart from Member Content, we welcome questions, comments, suggestions, and ideas about Pellea and our Services (“Submissions”). If you give a Submission, whether by email or otherwise, you agree that it is non-confidential (unless Pellea states otherwise in writing) and shall become the sole property of Pellea. Pellea shall own exclusive rights, including all intellectual property rights, and shall be entitled to the unrestricted use and dissemination of Submissions for any purpose, commercial or otherwise. You acknowledge that Pellea is not obligated to give acknowledgment or compensation to you in exchange for Submissions.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive and non-sublicensable license to get access to and use the Services and Pellea Materials; however, such license is subject to these Terms and does not include: (a) any resale or commercial use of the Services or the Pellea Materials; (b) the distribution, public performance or public display of any Pellea Materials; (c) modifying or otherwise making any derivative uses of the Services and the Pellea Materials, or any part thereof, unless the modification or derivative use is specifically permitted under applicable law or provided for under separate terms; (d) use of any data mining, robots or similar data gathering or extraction methods; (e) downloading (other than the page caching) of any part of the Services, the Pellea Materials or any information contained therein, except as expressly permitted on the Services; or (f) any use of the Services or the Pellea Materials other than for their intended purposes.

Such unauthorized use may also violate applicable laws, including without limitation copyright and trademark laws. Unless explicitly stated herein, nothing in these Terms shall be construed as conferring any license to intellectual property rights, whether by estoppel, implication, or otherwise. This license is revocable at any time.

SECTION 7 – REPEAT INFRINGER POLICY

Following the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and other applicable law, Pellea has adopted a policy of terminating, in the right circumstances and in Pellea’s sole discretion, members who are deemed to be repeat infringers. Pellea may also, in our sole discretion, limit access to the Services and/or terminate the accounts of any members who we believe may infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

“Pellea,” the Pellea logos and any other Pellea service name or slogan contained on the Services are trademarks of Pellea and may not be copied, imitated or used, in whole or in part, without the earlier written permission of Pellea or the applicable trademark holder.

All other trademarks, registered trademarks, product/service names, and names or logos mentioned in the Services are the property of their respective owners.

Any authorized use of these trademarks must be following guidelines that Pellea may give you from time to time.

Our logo and the terms “Pellea” and “Pellea”, as well as other terms and visual elements that you might see throughout the Pellea Services, are protected trademarks. However, we do support members using these trademarks in the right ways, such as to make your T-shirts or to create local Pellea community social media pages.

SECTION 10 – HYPERLINKS

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive right to create a text hyperlink to the Services, provided such link does not portray Pellea or any of our services in a false, misleading, derogatory or otherwise defamatory way and provided further that the linking site does not contain any adult or illegal material or any offensive material, harassing or otherwise objectionable. This limited right may be revoked at any time. You may not use a Pellea logo or other proprietary graphic of Pellea to link to the Services without the express written permission of Pellea. Further, you may not use, frame or use framing techniques to enclose any Pellea trademark, logo or other proprietary information, including the images found on the Services, the content of any text or the layout/design of any page or form contained on a page of the Services without Pellea’s express written consent. Except as noted above, you are not conveyed any right or license by implication, estoppel or otherwise in or under any patent, trademark, copyright or other proprietary rights of Pellea or any third-party.

SECTION 11 – THIRD-PARTY CONTENT

In using our Services, you may be exposed to content from other members or third parties (“Third-Party Content”), either on our Services or through links to third-party websites.

You must check, and bear all risks associated with, Third-Party Content, including without limitation, profiles of other members of our Services. We incorporate Google Maps into the Services as a convenience to you. By using this feature of the Services, you agree to be bound by Google’s Terms of Use.

In any of these instances, you are not permitted to register for another Pellea account without our earlier written permission.

In rare circumstances, when we feel it is necessary to protect the safety or the well-being of the Pellea community, we will remove a member’s account from our Services. We don’t take this decision lightly, but it is sometimes required.

SECTION 19 – DISPUTES

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH PELLEA AND IT LIMITS HOW YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF. You and Pellea agree to arbitrate any dispute arising from these Terms or about the Services, except that you and Pellea are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks fair or other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents. SUBJECT TO ANY RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ARBITRATION PREVENTS YOU FROM SUING IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL. You and Pellea agree that you will notify each other of any dispute within thirty (30) days of when it arises, that you will attempt informal resolution before any demand for arbitration, that any arbitration will occur in Toronto, Ontario and that arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association. You and Pellea also agree that the provincial or federal courts in Toronto, Ontario have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals of an arbitration award and any suit between the parties not subject to arbitration. Other than class rules and remedies discussed below, the arbitrator has the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. WHETHER THE DISPUTE IS HEARD IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, YOU AND PELLEA WILL NOT COMMENCE AGAINST THE OTHER A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.
