Terms of Use

Please read these Terms of Use (or Terms, as further described in Section 1.3) carefully as they contain important information about your legal rights, remedies and obligations. By accessing or using ATIV’s Services (including Apps), you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms, as applicable to you.

1. Accepting These Terms

1.1 What’s What

ATIV’s products, features and offerings are available online and through mobile applications, webpages, application programming interfaces and subdomains. These are collectively referred to as our “Services.” These Terms apply to any Site(s) on which they are posted. The material, including, without limitation information, data, text, editorial content, design elements, look and feel, formatting, graphics, images, photographs, videos, music, sounds, and other content contained in or delivered via the Services or otherwise made available by ATIV in connection with the Services is the “Site Content” (or “Content”). Any material including the foregoing categories that you contribute, provide, post or make available using the Services is “Your Content.”

1.2 Who’s Who

When these terms use the term “Organizer” it is meant to refer to event creators using the Services to create events displayed on the Services for consumers using ATIV Services (a) to consume information about or attend Events (“Consumers”), or (b) for any other reason. Organizers, Consumers, and third parties using our Services are all referred to in these terms collectively as “Users,” you” or “your.”

When these terms use the term “ATIV,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” that refers to ATIV Solutions, LLC (dba as “ATIV Software”) and its affiliates.

1.3 What the “Terms of Use” Means

These Terms of Use and the other documents referenced in them comprise ATIV’s “Terms.” These Terms are a legally binding agreement between you and ATIV governing your access to and use of the Services and setting out your rights and responsibilities when you use the Services. By using any of our Services (including browsing a Site), you are agreeing to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use or access the Services. If you will be using the Services on behalf of an entity (such as on behalf of your employer), you agree to these Terms on behalf of that entity and its affiliates and you represent that you have the authority to do so. In such case, “you” and “your” will refer to that entity as well as yourself.

2. ATIV’s Services and Role

2.1 What We Do

ATIV’s Services provide comprehensive means for Organizers to create a central hub for Consumers to access their event, create speaker profiles that link out to gather speaker materials, and build custom views of web pages related to their events, promote those pages and events to visitors or browsers on the Services or elsewhere online to Consumers or other Users. Descriptions of other and more specific services can generally be found on the ativsoftware.com website.

2.2 How We Fit In

ATIV is not the creator, organizer or owner of the events listed on the Services. Rather, ATIV provides its Services, which allow Organizers promote their events and Consumers to attend their events. The Organizer is solely responsible for ensuring that any page displaying an event on the Services (and the event itself) meet all applicable local, state, provincial, national and other laws, rules and regulations, and that the goods and services described on the event page are delivered as described and in an accurate satisfactory manner.

3. Privacy and Consumer Information

3.1 Personal Information

Your personal information is important to you and it is important to ATIV too. Information provided to ATIV by Users or collected by ATIV, is governed by our Privacy Policy (https://ativsoftware.com/legal/privacy-policy/).

3.2 Organizer Responsibilities

If you are an Organizer, you represent, warrant and agree that (a) you will at all times comply with all applicable local, state, provincial, national and other laws, rules and regulations with respect to information you collect from (or receive about) consumers, and (b) you will at all times comply with any applicable policies posted on the Services with respect to information you collect from (or receive about) Consumers.

4. Term: Termination

These Terms apply to you as soon as you access the Services by any means and continue in effect until they are terminated. There may come a time where either you or ATIV decides it’s best to part ways as described in Sections 4.1-4.3 below. When that happens, these Terms will generally no longer apply. However, as described in Section 4.4, certain provisions will always remain applicable to both you and ATIV.

4.1 Our Rights to Terminate Access

ATIV reserves the right in its sole discretion, but is not obligated, to permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend any Organizer account for any reason, or for no reason, without any notice and liability. ATIV also reserves the right to remove any user-generated content ATIV believes to violate these Terms. ATIV retains the right to bring legal action to enjoin violations and/or to collect damages, if any, caused by violations.

4.2 Inactive Organizer Accounts Policy

ATIV reserves the right to terminate unpaid Organizer accounts that are inactive for a continuous period of 90 days. In the event of such termination, all data associated with such a Organizer account will be deleted. ATIV will provide you prior notice of such termination. The data deletion policy may be implemented with respect to any or all of the Services. Each Service will be considered an independent and separate service for the purpose of calculating the period of inactivity. In other words, activity in one of the Services is not sufficient to keep your Organizer account in another Service active. In case of accounts with more than one Organizer, if at least one of the Organizers is active, the account will not be considered inactive.

4.3 How to Terminate Your Access

Except to the extent you have agreed otherwise in a separate written agreement between you and ATIV, you may terminate your access to the Services and the general applicability of Terms by deleting your account. If you wish to terminate your account (i) remove all related app, software, and related Services from your devices and (ii) contact customer service at support@ativsoftware.com.

If you are a Consumer using the Services without a registered account, your only option for these Terms to no longer apply is to stop accessing the Services indefinitely. So long as you continue to access the Services, even without an account, these Terms remain in effect. If there is a separate agreement between you and ATIV governing your use of the Services and that agreement terminates or expires, these Terms (as unmodified by such agreement) will govern your use of the Services after such termination or expiration.

4.4 Surviving Terms

All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination of these Terms will survive (including, without limitation, all limitations on liability, releases, indemnification obligations, disclaimers of warranties, agreements to arbitrate, choices of law and judicial forum and intellectual property protections and licenses).

5. Export Controls and Restricted Countries

As a company based in the USA, ATIV complies with certain export controls and economic sanctions laws.

1. All Users, regardless of your or the event’s location should familiarize yourself with the active sanctions programs which can be found on the US Department of the Treasury website (https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/sanctions-programs-and-country-information).

9. IMPORTANT: BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM UNDER THESE TERMS OR WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES WILL BE SETTLED BY BINDING ARBITRATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT (TO THE EXTENT THE CLAIM QUALIFIES) AND WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY; YOU AGREE THAT CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATIONS AND CIVIL ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND ANY RIGHTS TO BRING SUCH ACTIONS ARE WAIVED BY EACH PARTY.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

9.1 Contact Us First

If you have a question or concern about the Services, please contact us first. Our customer support team will try to answer your question or resolve your concern.

9.2 Agreement to Arbitrate

In the unlikely event that our customer support team is unable to resolve your concerns, the parties (you and ATIV) each hereby agree to resolve any and all disputes or claims under these Terms, with respect to the Services, or related to our relationship through binding arbitration or in small claims court (to the extent the claim qualifies) instead of in courts of general jurisdiction, and only on an individual basis. In no event may either ATIV or you seek to resolve a dispute with the other as part of any purported class, consolidated or representative proceeding. Binding arbitration is subject to very limited review. Only the arbitrator appointed pursuant to this Section, and not any federal, state or local court will have the authority to resolve any dispute or claim relating to this Section including, without limitation, regarding the scope, enforceability and arbitrability of these Terms. This arbitration provision will survive termination of these Terms. These Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce and the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 9 is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding the choice of law set forth in Section 9.8 below.

9.3 Scope of Agreement

This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted as to legal disputes between you and us. It includes, but is not limited to: (i) all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; (ii) all claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); and (iii) all claims that may arise after termination of these Terms and/or your use of the Services.

9.4 Exceptions

Notwithstanding this Agreement to arbitrate, either party may (i) bring an action on an individual basis in small claims court (to the extent the applicable claim qualifies); or (ii) bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court in the U.S. Patent or Trademark Office to protect its Intellectual Property Rights (“Intellectual Property Rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). In addition, the portion of any dispute or complaint relating to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is subject to the Dispute Resolution section of our Privacy Policy before being subject to this Section.

9.5 No Class Actions

YOU AND ATIV AGREE THAT EACH 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, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING AND MAY ONLY PROVIDE RELIEF IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM.

9.6 Notice of Dispute

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to ATIV must be addressed to the following address (“Notice Address”) and must be sent by certified mail: ATIV Solutions LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 340 S Lemon Ave #4605, Walnut CA 91789, USA. Notice to you will be addressed to a mailing, business or payment address currently on record with ATIV and must be sent by certified mail. If ATIV has no records of such physical address, such notice may be delivered to your ATIV account email address. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If ATIV and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or ATIV may commence an arbitration proceeding.

9.7 Arbitration Proceedings

The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules, or, if the actions giving rise to the dispute or claim relate to your personal use of the Services (rather than business use), the Consumer Arbitration Rules (in each case, the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Section 9, and will be administered by the AAA and settled by a single arbitrator. (The AAA Rules are also available by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) All issues in dispute between the parties are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Section 9.

9.8 Location of Arbitration Proceedings

If you are a Consumer, any arbitration hearings will take place (at your option) either in the county of your residence or by phone, except that is you are a Consumer whose residence is outside of the United States, the hearing will take place either in San Francisco, California or by phone or videoconference, at your option and as permitted by the AAA Rules. If you are a business (i.e., your use of the Services were for commercial use), then unless ATIV and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location in the United States for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, AAA will determine the location. If your claim is for ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or less, ATIV agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds ten thousand dollars ($10,000), the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. All decisions by the arbitrator will be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

9.9 Costs of Arbitration; Legal Fees

9.9.1 Payment of Costs and Expenses

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator costs and expenses imposed by AAA will be governed by the AAA rules, provided that if you are initiating an arbitration against ATIV and the value of the relief sought is ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or less, then ATIV will advance all filing, administrative and arbitration costs and expenses imposed by AAA (subject to reimbursement as set forth below). Further, if the circumstances in the preceding sentence apply and your claim arises from your use of the Services as a Consumer, but the value of relief sought is more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) and you demonstrate to the arbitrator that such costs and expenses would be more expensive than a court proceeding, then ATIV will pay the amount of any such costs and expenses. In the event that the arbitrator determines that all of the claims you assert in arbitration are frivolous according to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, you agree to reimburse ATIV for all such cost and expenses that ATIV paid and that you would have been obligated to pay under the AAA rules.

9.9.2 Payment of Legal Fees

Just as in any court proceeding, each party will initially bear its own attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any arbitration. Should either party be determined to have substantially prevailed in the arbitration, then upon such party’s request, the arbitrator will award such prevailing party the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses that it incurred in connection with the arbitration, provided that to the extent that the dispute or claim relate to your personal or household use of the Services (rather than business use) ATIV will not seek to recover its attorneys’ fees and expenses in an arbitration initiated by you. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the reimbursement of attorneys’ fees and expenses upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

9.10 Special Severability

In the event that any provisions of this Section 9 are found to be invalid or unenforceable for any dispute or claim, then, the entirety of this Section 9 will be null and void with respect to such dispute or claim and Section 23 will apply in lieu of this Section 9.

9.11 Opt Out

You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration or class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending (from the email address we associate with you as a User) written notice of your decision to opt-out to support@ativsoftware.com with the subject line “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT.” The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Services or your agreement to these Terms (whichever is later); otherwise, you will be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. Note that if you opt out of these arbitration provisions, ATIV also will not be bound by them.

13. Fees

13.1 Fees That We Charge

Creating an account is free. However, ATIV charges fees to Organizers based on the subscription or Services selected. These fees may vary based on individual agreements between ATIV and certain Organizers. Organizers ultimately determine how (and if) these fees are passed along to Consumers.

1. The Services are available under subscription plans of various sizes. Payments for subscriptions smaller than 5,000 agenda records can be made only by credit card. Subscriptions paid by credit card are automatically renewed at the end of each subscription period unless the account owner downgrades the paid subscription plan to a free plan or deletes their account. At the time of automatic renewal, the subscription fee will be charged to the credit card last used by you. If you do not wish to renew the subscription, you must update your account at least seven days prior to the renewal date. If you have not downgraded to a free plan or deleted your account, you will be presumed to have authorized ATIV to charge the subscription fee to the credit card last used by you.
2. To avoid any service interruptions to subscriptions paid by credit card, the account owner is responsible for keeping their credit card information up-to-date. If the payment for the renewal is to be made through a different credit card, the option of changing the payment details is provided within the account.
3. From time to time, ATIV may change the price of any Service or charge for use of Services that are currently available free of charge. Any increase in charges will not apply until the expiry of your then current billing cycle. You will not be charged for using any Service unless you have opted for a paid subscription plan.
4. In the event any tax such as GST, VAT, sales tax or the like is chargeable by ATIV in accordance with any local, state, provincial or foreign laws with respect to your subscription to our Services (“Taxes”), ATIV will invoice you for such Taxes. You agree to pay ATIV such Taxes in addition to the subscription fees. ATIV shall provide you with an invoice in the format prescribed by the applicable local, state, provincial or foreign laws to help you avail the applicable input tax credit for the Taxes so paid.
