METHINKS makes no representation that such services and materials are appropriate or available for use in any particular location. To the extent you choose to access such services or materials, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with any applicable laws, including, but not limited to, applicable local laws.

14. NO WARRANTY.

YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT USE OF THE PACKAGE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND THAT THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO SATISFACTORY QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, ACCURACY AND EFFORT IS WITH YOU.

17. Notice and Procedure for Making Claims of Copyright or Other Intellectual Property Infringements.

• Respect of Third Party Rights. METHINKS respects the intellectual property of others and takes the protection of intellectual property very seriously, and we ask our Users to do the same. Infringing activity will not be tolerated on or through the App.
• Repeat Infringer Policy. METHINKS’s intellectual property policy is to (i) remove or disable access to material that METHINKS believes in good faith, upon notice from an intellectual property owner or their agent, is infringing the intellectual property of a third party by being made available through the App, and (ii) remove any User Content uploaded to the App by you if you are a “repeat infringer” and terminate your right to use the App. You are a “repeat infringer” if you are a User that has uploaded User Content or Feedback to or through the App and for whom METHINKS has received more than two takedown notices compliant with the provisions of 17 U. S. C. § 512 with respect to your User Content or Feedback. METHINKS has discretion, however, to terminate the account of any User after receipt of a single notification of claimed infringement or upon METHINKS’s own determination.
  • Procedure for Reporting Claimed Infringement. If you believe that any content made available on or through the App has been used or exploited in a manner that infringes an intellectual property right you own or control, then please promptly send a “Notification of Claimed Infringement” containing the following information to the Designated Agent identified below. Your Notification of Claimed Infringement may be shared by METHINKS with the User alleged to have infringed a right you own or control or the general public, and you hereby consent to METHINKS making such disclosure. Your communication must include substantially the following:
  • A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the work(s) that has/have been allegedly infringed;
  • Identification of works or materials being infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;
  • Identification of the specific material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit METHINKS to locate the material;
  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit METHINKS to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which you may be contacted;
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  • A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. You should consult with your own lawyer and/or see 17 U. S. C. § 512 to confirm your obligations to provide a valid notice of claimed infringement.
• Designated Agent Contact Information. METHINKS’s designated agent for receipt of Notifications of Claimed Infringement (the “Designated Agent”) can be contacted at:
  
  E-mail:
  legal@methinks. io Via U. S.
  
  Mail:
  methinks Technologies Inc.
  821 w el camino real Mountain view ca94040
  Attn: Designated Agent
  
  
• Counter Notification. If you receive a notification from METHINKS that material made available by you on or through the App has been the subject of a Notification of Claimed Infringement, then you will have the right to provide METHINKS with what is called a “Counter Notification. ” To be effective, a Counter Notification must be in writing, provided to METHINKS’s Designated Agent through one of the methods identified in Section 17. d and include substantially the following information:
  • A physical or electronic signature of the subscriber;
  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and
  • The subscriber’s name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the subscriber’s address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which METHINKS may be found, and that the subscriber will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under Section 17. c above or an agent of such person.
• A party submitting a Counter Notification should consult a lawyer or see 17 U. S. C. § 512 to confirm the party’s obligations to provide a valid counter notification under the Copyright Act.
• False Notifications of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notifications. The Copyright Act provides that:[a]ny person who knowingly materially misrepresents under [Section 512 of the Copyright Act (17 U. S. C. § 512)] (1) that material or activity is infringing, or (2) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of [METHINKS] relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it. 17 U. S. C. § 512(f). METHINKS reserves the right to seek damages from any party that submits a Notification of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notification in violation of the law. For the avoidance of doubt, only notices submitted under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act or the procedures set forth in this Section 17 should be sent to the Designated Agent at legal@methinks. io or to the postal address identified above. Any other comments, compliments, complaints or suggestions about METHINKS, the App or any other matter should be sent to 821 w el camino real Mountain view ca94040 .

18. Dispute Resolution.

• Mandatory Arbitration. Please read this carefully. It affects your rights. YOU AND METHINKS AND EACH OF OUR RESPECTIVE CORPORATE PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, PREDECESSORS IN INTEREST, SUCCESSORS, PERMITTED ASSIGNS, AND ANY OTHER PARTIES ON WHOSE BEHALF YOU ARE ACCESSING THE SERVICE AGREE TO ARBITRATION (EXCEPT FOR MATTERS THAT MAY BE TAKEN TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT), AS THE EXCLUSIVE FORM OF DISPUTE RESOLUTION EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR BELOW, FOR ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS EULA OR THE SERVICE. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Please visit www. adr. org for more information about arbitration.
  • Commencing Arbitration. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written notice of intent to arbitrate (a “Notice”), or, in the absence of a mailing address provided by you to METHINKS, to you via any other method available to METHINKS, including via e-mail. The Notice to METHINKS should be addressed to methinks Technologies Inc. 821 w el camino real Mountain view ca94040 , Attn: Chief Operating Officer (the “Arbitration Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought (the “Demand”). If you and METHINKS do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or METHINKS may commence an arbitration proceeding as set forth below or file a claim in small claims court. THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND THE SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER RELATED DISPUTES (THE “Rules”), AS MODIFIED BY THIS AGREEMENT. The Rules and AAA forms are available online at www. adr. org. If you are required to pay a filing fee to commence an arbitration against METHINKS, then METHINKS will promptly reimburse you for your confirmed payment of the filing fee upon METHINKS’s receipt of Notice at the Arbitration Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration along with a receipt evidencing payment of the filing fee, unless your Demand is equal to or greater than $1,000 or was filed in bad faith, in which case you are solely responsible for the payment of the filing fee.
  • Arbitration Proceeding. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. A single independent and impartial arbitrator shall be appointed pursuant to the Rules, as modified herein. You and METHINKS agree to comply with the following rules, which are intended to streamline the dispute resolution process and reduce the costs and burdens on the parties: (A) the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner to be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (B) the arbitration will not require any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the parties; and (C) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
  • No Class Actions. YOU AND METHINKS AGREE THAT YOU AND METHINKS MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. FURTHER, YOU AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE PROCEEDINGS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND THAT IF THIS SPECIFIC PROVISO IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THIS MANDATORY ARBITRATION SECTION SHALL BE NULL AND VOID.
  • Decision of the Arbitrator. Barring extraordinary circumstances, the arbitrator will issue his or her decision within 120 days from the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator may extend this time limit for an additional 30 days in the interests of justice. All arbitration proceedings will be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto will be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the arbitration award. The award of the arbitrator shall be in writing and will include a statement setting forth the reasons for the disposition of any claim. The arbitrator will apply the laws of the State of California in conducting the arbitration. You acknowledge that these terms and your use of the App evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. The United States Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to the Mandatory Arbitration clause in this EULA.

The foregoing provisions of this Dispute Resolution section do not apply to any claim in which either party seeks equitable relief to protect such party’s copyrights, trademarks, or patents. You acknowledge that, in the event of a breach of the EULA by METHINKS or any third party, the damage or harm, if any, caused to you will not entitle you to seek injunctive or other equitable relief against METHINKS, and your only remedy will be for monetary damages, subject to the limitations of liability set forth in the EULA.
• Claims. You and METHINKS agree that, notwithstanding any other rights the party may have under law or equity, any cause of action arising out of or related to this EULA or the App, excluding a claim for indemnification, must commence within one year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
• dImproperly Filed Claims. All claims you bring against METHINKS must be resolved in accordance with this Dispute Resolution section. All claims filed or brought contrary to this Dispute Resolution section will be considered improperly filed. Should you file a claim contrary to this Dispute Resolution section, METHINKS may recover attorneys’ fees and costs up to $5,000, provided that METHINKS has notified you in writing of the improperly filed claim, and you have failed to promptly withdraw the claim.
• Modifications. In the event that METHINKS makes any future change to the Mandatory Arbitration provision (other than a change to METHINKS’s Arbitration Notice Address), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) days of the change to METHINKS’s Arbitration Notice Address, in which case your account with METHINKS and your license to use the Service shall terminate immediately, and this Dispute Resolution provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject, will survive the termination of the EULA.
• Enforceability. If only Section 18. a. iii or the entirety of this Section 18 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 18 shall be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 19 shall govern any action arising out of or related to this EULA.

Refund Policy

Last Updated Date: July 15, 2016

If you experience an issue that prevents you from being able to complete an interview with a customer, and you are unable to resolve with your customer, our Refund Policy may be applied in certain circumstances. Utilize the first 3 minutes of the interview to pre-screen your customer. If you decide not to proceed with the interview, end the interview within the first 3 minutes. Interviews ended within the first 3 minutes are free-of-charge.

Eligible issues

Situations that may be eligible for a refund under this policy generally fall into one of two categories:

• Either your customer or you experiences internet connection issues, and the methinks app does not allow either of you to join the interview again.
• The methinks app charges you more than how long the interview actually is.

methinks will either provide you with a refund or credit toward your methinks business account. The amount of any refund or credit will depend on the nature of the issue.

Submit a ticket

To submit a valid claim for a refund or credit, you are required to:

• Use the Contact Us option in the methinks app to submit a Billing Issue ticket. Describe your situation and provide necessary information including the name of your customer and the interview time.
• Be responsive to our requests for additional information and cooperation.
• Not have directly caused the issue.
• Have used reasonable efforts to resolve the issue with your customer prior to submitting a ticket, including messaging your customer in the methinks app.
