    (ii) our Privacy Policy (each of which is incorporated by reference into this Agreement), and (iii) any terms disclosed and agreed to by you if you purchase additional features, products or services we offer on the Service (collectively, the “Agreement”). If you do

    communicate without use of the Service, or to meet in person. You agree that you will

    not provide your financial information (e.g., credit card or bank account information), or wire or otherwise send money to other Users.

     

    YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS.

  7. MM’s rights and obligations

     

    By creating an account, you grant to MM a worldwide, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, right and license to host, store, use, copy, display, reproduce, adapt, edit, publish, modify and distribute any information you post, upload, display or otherwise make available (collectively, “post”) on the Service or transmit to other Users (collectively, “Content”). MM’s license to your Content shall be non-exclusive, except

    that MM’s license shall be exclusive with respect to derivative works created through use of the Service. For example, MM would have an exclusive license to screenshots of the Service that include your Content. In addition, so that MM can prevent the use of your Content outside of the Service, you authorize MM to act on your behalf with respect to infringing uses of your Content taken from the Service by other Users or third parties.

    This expressly includes the authority, but not the obligation, to send notices pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) (i.e., DMCA Takedown Notices) on your behalf if your Content is taken and used by third parties outside of the Service. Our license to your Content is

    subject to your rights under applicable law (e.g. laws regarding personal data protection to the extent any Content contains personal information as defined by those laws) and is for the limited purpose of operating, developing, providing, and improving the Service and researching and developing new ones. You agree that any Content you place or that you authorize us to place on the Service may be viewed by other Users and may be

    viewed by any person visiting or participating in the Service (such as individuals who may receive shared Content from other MM Users).

     

    You confirm that all information that you submit upon creation of your account is

    accurate and truthful and that you have the right to post the Content on the Service and by using the Service, you agree to grant such use and license to MM.

     

    You understand and agree that we may monitor or review any Content you post as part of a Service. We may delete any Content, in whole or in part, that in our sole judgment

    violates this Agreement or may harm the reputation of MM and/or the Service. Nothing in this paragraph, however, creates an obligation for us to review, monitor or delete any Content.

     

    In consideration for MM allowing you to use the Service, you agree that we, our affiliates, and our third-party partners may place advertising on the Service. By

    submitting suggestions or feedback to MM regarding our Service, you agree that MM may use and share such feedback for any purpose without compensating you.

     

    You agree that MM may access, preserve and disclose your account information and Content if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary, such as to: (i) comply with legal process; (ii)

    enforce this Agreement; (iii) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of

    third parties; (iv) respond to your requests for customer service; or (v) protect the rights, property or personal safety of MM or any other person.

    • use the Service for any purpose that is illegal or prohibited by this Agreement; or
    • use the Service for any harmful or nefarious purpose; or
    • use the Service in order to damage MM; or
    • spam, solicit money from or defraud any Users; or
    • impersonate any person or entity or post any images of another person without his or her permission; or

      When communicating with our customer care representatives, you agree to be respectful and kind. If we feel that your behavior towards any of our customer care representatives or other employees is at any time threatening or offensive, we reserve the right to immediately terminate your account.

       

      MM reserves the right to investigate and/or terminate your account, without refund, if you have violated this Agreement, misused the Service or behaved in a way that MM

      regards as inappropriate or unlawful, including actions or communications that occur on or off the Service.

       

  9. Other Users’ Content

     

    Although MM reserves the right to review and remove Content that violates this Agreement, such Content is the sole responsibility of the User who posts it, and MM

    cannot guarantee that all Content will comply with this Agreement. If you see Content on the Service that violates this Agreement, please report it within the Service. We disclaim all responsibility for Content posted by you, other Users or other third parties, even if made available by us through the Service, as set out in Section 12 below

     

  10. Purchases

    • In App Purchases. From time to time, MM may offer products and services for purchase (“in app purchases”) through Software Stores (e.g. iTunes, Google Play or other application platforms) authorized by MM. If you choose to make an in

      app purchase, you will be prompted to enter details for your account with your Software Store (“your IAP Account”), and your IAP Account will be charged for the in app purchase in accordance with the terms disclosed to you at the time of

      purchase as well as the general terms for in app purchases that apply to your IAP Account. Some Software Stores may charge you sales tax, depending on where you live. If you purchase an auto-recurring periodic subscription through an in app purchase, your IAP Account will be billed continuously for the subscription until you cancel. After your initial subscription commitment period, and again

      after any subsequent subscription periods, your subscription will automatically continue for an additional equivalent period, at the price you agreed to when subscribing. If you do not wish your subscription to renew automatically, or if

      you want to change or terminate your subscription, you will need to log in to your IAP Account and follow instructions to cancel your subscription, even if you have otherwise deleted your account with us or if you have deleted the MM application from your device. Deleting your account on MM or deleting the MM application from your device does not cancel your subscription. MM will retain all funds

      charged to your IAP Account until you cancel your subscription through your IAP Account.

       

    • MM Direct Purchases. If you choose to make a purchase through MM.com, MM.fr, any other MM website or the MM app on Google Play without using an IAP Account (“MM Direct”), you agree to pay MM all charges at the prices displayed to you for the services you’ve selected as well as any sales or similar

      taxes that may be added to your payments, and you authorize MM to charge your chosen payment provider (your “Payment Method”). MM may correct any billing errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received

      payment. If you initiate a chargeback or otherwise reverse a payment made with your Payment Method, MM may in its sole discretion terminate your account with

      immediate effect. You are responsible for providing accurate and complete billing information. If your billing address is outside Canada, you confirm that you (a) are not a resident of Canada, (b) are not registered for purposes of Canadian

      goods and services tax (GST) and harmonized sales tax (HST), (c) will be outside Canada at all times that you access MM’s website and exercise you membership rights, and (d) will update your billing address with MM to a Canadian billing

      address if any of the above changes.

       

      If you purchase a subscription through MM Direct, your subscription will continue indefinitely until cancelled by you. After your initial subscription

      commitment period, and again after any subsequent subscription periods, your subscription will automatically continue for an additional equivalent period, at the price you agreed to when subscribing, until you cancel. You agree that your

      account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature. If you do not wish your account to renew automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your

      subscription, please log in and go to “Account” on MM Direct and follow the

      instructions. If you used PayPal to make purchases, you must contact or login to PayPal to cancel your subscription. MM is not able to liaise with PayPal on behalf of PayPal users. If you cancel your subscription, you may use your subscription

      until the end of your then-current subscription term, and your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires.

       

      If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the Payment Method. This may result in a change to your

      payment billing dates. In addition, you authorize us to obtain updated or

      replacement expiration dates and card numbers for your credit or debit card, as provided by your credit or debit card issuer. The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your

      chosen Payment Method.

       

    • Refunds. All charges for purchases or subscriptions are nonrefundable. No refunds or credits will be made or entertained for partially used periods or services subject to any applicable laws related thereto.

       

      For MM subscribers residing in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin, the terms below apply:

       

      You may cancel your subscription, without penalty or obligation, at any time prior to midnight of the third business day following the date you subscribed.

      In the event that you die before the end of your subscription period, your estate shall be entitled to a refund of that portion of any payment you had made for your

      subscription which is allocable to the period after your death. In the event that you become disabled (such that you are unable to use the services of MM) before the end of your subscription period, you shall be entitled to a refund of that portion of any payment you had made for your subscription which is allocable to the period after your disability by providing the company notice in the same manner as you request a refund as described below.

       

      Purchases of Virtual Items are final and non-refundable.

  11. Notice and Procedure for Making Claims of Copyright Infringement

     

    If you believe that your work has been copied and posted on the Service in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide our Copyright Agent with the

    following information:

     

    • an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest;
    • a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed;
    • a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Service (and such description must be reasonably sufficient to enable us to find the alleged infringing material);
    • your contact information, including address, telephone number and email address;
    • a written statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
    • a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.

      Notice of claims of copyright infringement should be provided to the Company’s Copyright Agent via email customerservice@matchmakersusa.com

       

      MM reserves the right to terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

       

  12. Disclaimers

     

    MM PROVIDES THE SERVICE ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE (INCLUDING ALL CONTENT CONTAINED THEREIN), INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. MM DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT (A) THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE OR ERROR FREE, (B) ANY DEFECTS OR ERRORS IN THE SERVICE WILL BE CORRECTED, OR (C) THAT ANY CONTENT OR INFORMATION YOU OBTAIN ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE.

     

    MM TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY CONTENT THAT YOU OR ANOTHER USER OR THIRD PARTY POSTS, SENDS OR RECEIVES THROUGH THE SERVICE. ANY MATERIAL DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICE IS ACCESSED AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK.

     

  13. Third Party Services

     

    The Service may contain advertisements and promotional content offered by third parties and links to other web sites or resources. MM is not responsible for the availability (or lack of availability) of such external websites or resources. Interacting with such third parties remains your sole decision and is not in any way related to MM or the Service. Such interaction and/or relationship may or may not be governed by the third party’s terms. MM is not responsible or liable for such third party’s terms or actions.

     

  14. Limitation of Liability

    TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL MM, ITS AFFILIATES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, LICENSORS OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR ENHANCED DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM: (I) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE, (II) THE CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF OTHER USERS OR THIRD PARTIES ON, THROUGH, OR FOLLOWING USE OF THE SERVICE; OR (III) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE OR ALTERATION OF YOUR CONTENT, EVEN IF MM HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL MM’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU TO MM FOR THE SERVICE WHILE YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT.

     

    SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OR ALL OF THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, THE LIABILITY OF MM, ITS AFFILATES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, LICENSORS OR SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL BE LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

     

  15. Arbitration, Class-Action Waiver, and Jury Waiver

     

    The exclusive means of resolving any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof) or the Service shall be BINDING ARBITRATION administered by the American Arbitration Association under the

    Consumer Arbitration Rules. The one exception to the exclusivity of arbitration is that you have the right to bring an individual claim against the Company in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction. Whether you choose arbitration or small-claims court, you may not under any circumstances commence or maintain against the Company any class action, class arbitration, or other representative action or proceeding.

     

    By using the Service in any manner, you agree to the above arbitration agreement. In doing so, you give up your right to go to court to assert or defend any claims between you and MM (except for matters that may be taken to small-claims court). You also give up your right to participate in a class action or other class proceeding. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR, not a judge or jury, and the arbitrator shall determine all issues regarding the arbitrability of the dispute. You are entitled to a fair

    hearing before the arbitrator. The arbitrator can grant any relief that a court can, but you should note that arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.

     

    Any proceeding to enforce this arbitration agreement, including any proceeding to confirm, modify, or vacate an arbitration award, may be commenced in any court of

    competent jurisdiction. In the event that this arbitration agreement is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against the Company (except for small-claims court actions) may be commenced only in the federal or state courts located in Cuyahoga

    County, Ohio. You hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes.

     

    This Agreement, and any dispute between you and the Company, shall be

    governed by the laws of the state of Ohio, without regard to principles of conflicts of law, provided that this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

     

  16. Governing Law

     

    For Users residing in the EU or European Economic Area or elsewhere where our arbitration agreement is prohibited by law, the laws of Ohio, U.S.A., excluding Ohio’s conflict of laws rules, shall apply to any disputes arising out of or relating to this

    Agreement or the Service. For the avoidance of doubt, the choice of Ohio governing law shall not supersede any mandatory consumer protection legislation in such jurisdictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Arbitration Agreement in Section 15 above shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

     

  17. Venue

     

    Except for Users residing in the EU or European Economic Area, who may bring claims in their country of residence in accordance with applicable law, and except for claims that may be properly brought in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction in the county in which you reside or Cuyahoga County, OH, all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement, to the Service, or to your relationship with MM that for whatever reason are not submitted to arbitration, shall be litigated exclusively in the

    federal or state courts of Cuyahoga County, OH, U.S.A.. You and MM consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of courts in the State of Ohio and waive any claim that such courts constitute an inconvenient forum.

     

  18. Indemnification

     

    You agree, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless MM, our affiliates, and their and our respective officers, directors, agents, and employees from and against any and all complaints, demands, claims, damages,

    losses, costs, liabilities and expenses, including attorney’s fees, due to, arising out of, or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Service, your Content, or your breach of this Agreement.

     

  19. Entire Agreement; Other

 

This Agreement incorporates any additional terms disclosed and agreed to at any time. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between you and MM regarding your relationship with MM and the use of the Service. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. The

failure of the Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. You agree that your MM account is non-transferable and all of your rights to your account and its Content terminate upon your death. No agency, partnership, joint venture, fiduciary or other special relationship or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and you may not make any

representations on behalf of or bind MM in any manner.
