Disclaimers And Release
You use our services at your own risk and subject to the following disclaimers. We are providing our services on an “as is” basis without any express or implied warranties, including, but not limited to, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and freedom from computer virus or other harmful code. We do not warrant that any information provided by us is accurate, complete, or useful, that our services will be operational, error free, secure, or safe, or that our services will function without disruptions, delays, or imperfections.
We do not control, and are not responsible for, controlling how or when our users use our services or the features, services, and interfaces our services provide. We are not responsible for and are not obligated to control the actions or information (including content) of our users or other third-parties.
You release us, our subsidiaries, affiliates, and our and their directors, officers, employees, partners, and agents (together, the “Spinpost parties”) from any claim, complaint, cause of action, controversy, dispute, or damages (together, “claim”), known and unknown, relating to, arising out of, or in any way connected with any such claim you have against any third-parties.
Your rights with respect to the Spinpost parties are not modified by the foregoing disclaimer if the laws of your country or territory of residence, applicable as a result of your use of our services, do not permit it. If you are a United States resident, you waive any rights you may have under California Civil Code 1542, or any other similar applicable statute or law of any other jurisdiction, which says that: a general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, and that if known by him or her would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.
Limitation Of Liability
The Spinpost parties will not be liable to you for any lost profits or consequential, special, punitive, indirect, or incidental damages relating to, arising out of, or in any way in connection with our terms, us, or our services (however caused and on any theory of liability, including negligence), even if the Spinpost parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our aggregate liability relating to, arising out of, or in any way in connection with our terms, us, or our services will not exceed the greater of one hundred dollars ($100) or the amount you have paid us in the past twelve months. The foregoing disclaimer of certain damages and limitation of liability will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. The laws of some states or jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some or all of the exclusions and limitations set forth above may not apply to you. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in our terms, in such cases, the liability of Spinpost parties will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
Indemnification
If anyone brings a claim ("Third-Party Claim") against us related to your actions, information, or content on Spinpost, or any other use of our Services by you, you will, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, and hold the Spinpost Parties harmless from and against all liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses of any kind (including reasonable legal fees and costs) relating to, arising out of, or in any way in connection with any of the following: (a) your access to or use of our Services, including information and content provided in connection therewith; (b) your breach of our Terms or applicable law; or (c) any misrepresentation made by you. You will cooperate as fully as required by us in the defense or settlement of any Third-Party Claim. Your rights with respect to Spinpost are not modified by the foregoing indemnification if the laws of your country or territory of residence, applicable as a result of your use of our Services, do not permit it.
Dispute Resolution
You agree that any claim or cause of action you have against Spinpost relating to, arising out of, or in any way in connection with our Terms or our Services, and for any claim or cause of action that Spinpost files against you, you and Spinpost agree that any such claim or cause of action (each, a “Dispute,” and together, “Disputes”) will be resolved exclusively in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California or a state court located in San Mateo County in California, and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim or cause of action, and the laws of the State of California will govern any such claim or cause of action without regard to conflict of law provisions. Without prejudice to the foregoing, you agree that, in our sole discretion, we may elect to resolve any Dispute we have with you that is not subject to arbitration in any competent court in the country in which you reside that has jurisdiction over the Dispute.
The laws of the State of California govern our Terms, as well as any Disputes, whether in court or arbitration, which might arise between Spinpost and you, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
These terms also limit the time you have to bring a claim or dispute, including the time to start arbitration or, if permissible, a court action or small claims proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
We and you agree that for any Dispute (except for the Excluded Disputes defined below) we and you must bring Claims (including commencing an arbitration proceeding) within one year after the Dispute first arose; otherwise, such Dispute is permanently barred. This means that if we or you do not bring a Claim (including commencing an arbitration) within one year after the Dispute first arose, then the arbitration will be dismissed because it was started too late.
Availability And Termination Of Our Services
We are always improving our Services and creating new ones. That means we may expand, add, or remove our Services, features, functionalities, and the support of certain devices and platforms and we may also suspend or stop the Services altogether. Our Services may be interrupted, including for maintenance, repairs, upgrades, or network or equipment failures.

We reserve all rights not expressly granted by us to you. In certain jurisdictions, you may have legal rights as a consumer, and our Terms are not intended to limit such consumer legal rights that may not be waived by contract.

Special arbitration provision for United States or Canada users
Please read this section carefully because it contains additional provisions applicable only to our United States and Canada users.
If you are a Spinpost user located in the United States or Canada, you and we agree to submit all disputes to binding individual arbitration, except for those that involve intellectual property disputes and except those that can be brought in small claims court. This means you waive your right to have such disputes resolved in court by a judge or jury.
Finally, you may bring a claim only on your own behalf, and not on behalf of any official or other person, or class of people. You waive your right to participate in, or have your Dispute heard and resolved as, a class action, a class arbitration, or a representative action.
“Excluded Dispute” means any Dispute relating to the enforcement or infringement of your or our intellectual property rights (such as copyrights, trademarks, domains, logos, trade dress, trade secrets, and patents) or efforts to interfere with our Services or engage with our Services in unauthorized ways (for example, automated ways). For clarity and notwithstanding the foregoing, those Disputes relating to, arising out of, or in any way in connection with your rights of privacy and publicity are not Excluded Disputes.
Agreement to arbitrate for Spinpost users located in the United States or Canada.
For Spinpost users who live in the United States or Canada, Spinpost and you each agree to waive the right to a trial by judge or jury for all Disputes, except for the Excluded Disputes. Spinpost and you agree that all Disputes (except for the Excluded Disputes), including those relating to, arising out of, or in any way in connection with your rights of privacy and publicity, will be resolved through final and binding arbitration. Spinpost and you agree not to combine a Dispute that is subject to arbitration under our Terms with a Dispute that is not eligible for arbitration under our Terms.
Before you commence arbitration of a Dispute, you must provide us with a written Notice of Dispute that includes your (a) name; (b) residence address; (c) username; (d) email address or phone number you use for your Spinpost account; (e) a detailed description of the dispute; and (f) the relief you seek. Any Notice of Dispute you send to us should be mailed to Spinit, Inc., Before we commence arbitration, we will send you a Notice of Dispute to the email address you provide, or other appropriate means. If we are unable to resolve a dispute within sixty (60) days after the Notice of Dispute is received, you or we may commence arbitration.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the arbitration is started, including the Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (together, the “AAA Rules”). The arbitration will be presided over by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. The AAA Rules, information regarding initiating a Dispute, and a description of the arbitration process are available at www.adr.org. Issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision are for a court to decide. The location of the arbitration and the allocation of fees and costs for such arbitration shall be determined in accordance with the AAA Rules.
Opt-Out Procedure. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. If you do so, neither we nor you can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify us in writing postmarked within 30 days of the later of: (a) the date that you first accepted our Terms; and (b) the date you became subject to this arbitration provision.
You must include: (i) your name and residence address; (ii) the mobile phone number associated with your account; and (iii) a clear statement that you want to opt out of our Terms’ agreement to arbitrate.
Small Claims Court. As an alternative to arbitration, if permitted by your local “small claims” court’s rules, you may bring your Dispute in your local “small claims” court, as long as the matter advances on an individual (non-class) basis.
No class actions, class arbitrations, or representative actions for users located in the United States or Canada. We and you each agree that if you are a Spinpost user located in the United States or Canada, each of we and you may bring Disputes against the other only on its or your own behalf, and not on behalf of any other person or entity, or any class of people. We and you each agree not to participate in a class action, a class-wide arbitration, Disputes brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated Disputes involving any other person or entity in connection with any Dispute. If there is a final judicial determination that any particular Dispute (or a request for particular relief) cannot be arbitrated in accordance with this provision's limitations, then only that Dispute (or only that request for relief) may be brought in court. All other Disputes (or requests for relief) remain subject to this provision.
Place to file permitted Court Actions. If you opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, if your Dispute is an Excluded Dispute.
If our Terms are not available in the language you select, we will default to the English version.
If you are a Spinpost user located in the United States or Canada, our terms contain a binding arbitration provision, which states that, except if you opt out and except for certain types of disputes, Spinpost and you agree to resolve all disputes (defined below) through binding individual arbitration, which means that you waive any right to have those disputes decided by a judge or jury, and that you waive your right to participate in class actions, class arbitrations, or representative actions.
