Any additional agreement is in addition to this Terms of Service and will govern Your use of the portions of the Platform to which the additional agreement applies in the event of a conflict between the terms of this Terms of Service and the additional agreement.

To Content. Unless otherwise noted on the Platform, all Content available through the Platform, including all text, audio, video, photographs, illustrations, graphics, and other media, is owned by Grail or third party providers of Content (“Brands”).

Subject to Your compliance with this Agreement, You may access the Content solely for Your own personal and noncommercial purposes in connection with Your own use of the Platform and Services. The Platform acts as a portal to allow Brands to promote their news, updates, and promotions about their products and services to Users. All statements, recommendations, opinions, offers, and other information presented or disseminated to Users related to Brands and/or their products and services via the Platform, are made by the Brands who are solely responsible and liable for their Content, and are not reviewed, approved, or endorsed by Grail. Because Grail does not control the Content of the Brands, You acknowledge and agree that Grail is not responsible for any Content related to the Brands.

As such You agree that, as between Grail and any Brands, the Brands are solely responsible for their products and services, including all representations, warranties, guarantees, promises, statements, and claims. Your interactions and transactions with the Brands are solely between You and such Brands. You agree that Grail will not be responsible for any loss or damage incurred as the result of any such interactions. If there is a dispute between You and a Brand, Grail is under no obligation to become involved. Without limiting the foregoing, Grail will not be held liable to You or a Brand for any Content under a Federal Law called the Communications Decency Act or CDA, 47 U.S.C. § 230.

Notwithstanding anything in the Privacy Policy, Grail will have the right to collect, extract, compile, synthesize, and analyze non-personally identifiable data or information (data or information that does not identify an entity or natural person as the source thereof) resulting from Your access to and use of the Platform, Services, or Content. To the extent any such non-personally identifiable data or information is collected or generated by Grail, the data and information will be solely owned by Grail and may be used by Grail for any lawful business purpose without a duty of accounting to You, provided that the data and information is used only in an aggregated form, without directly identifying You or any other entity or natural person as the source thereof.

Please provide the following information to Grail’s Copyright Agent: (1) the identity of the allegedly infringing work; (2) Your name, address, daytime phone number, and email address, if available; (3) a statement that You have a good-faith belief that the use of the copyrighted work is not authorized by the owner, his or her agent, or the law; (4) 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; and (5) Your electronic or physical signature. Grail will take whatever action, in its sole discretion, it deems appropriate, including the removing the allegedly infringing work from the Platform.

Disputes. Except as otherwise provided below, the parties will attempt to resolve all disputes, controversies, or claims arising under, out of, or relating to this Terms of Service, including the formation, validity, binding effect, interpretation, performance, breach or termination, of this Terms of Service and the arbitrability of the issues submitted to arbitration hereunder and non-contractual claims relating to this Terms of Service (each, a “Dispute“), in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section. If any Dispute cannot be resolved through negotiations between the parties within five days of notice from one party to the other of the Dispute, such Dispute will be finally settled through binding arbitration under the arbitration of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA“) then in effect (the “Rules“). Either party may commence the arbitration by delivering a request for arbitration as specified in the Rules. The arbitration will be conducted before a sole neutral arbitrator selected by agreement of the parties. If the parties cannot agree on the appointment of a single arbitrator within 30 days (the “Initial Period“) after either party to this Terms of Service delivers a request for arbitration, a neutral arbitrator will be selected as provided in the Rules. The arbitration will be conducted exclusively in the English language at a site specified by Grail in San Francisco, California U.S.A. The award of the arbitrator will be the exclusive remedy of the parties for all claims, counterclaims, issues or accountings presented or plead to the arbitrator. The award of the arbitrators will require payment of the costs, fees, and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in any such arbitration by the non-prevailing party. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court or governmental body having jurisdiction thereof. Any additional costs, fees, or expenses incurred in enforcing the award may be charged against the party that resists its enforcement.

Governing Law and Venue. The interpretation of the rights and obligations of the parties under this Terms of Service, including, to the extent applicable, any negotiations, arbitrations or other proceedings hereunder, will be governed in all respects exclusively by the laws of the State of California, U.S.A. as such laws apply to contracts between California residents performed entirely within California without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. Subject to Section titled Disputes, each party will bring any action or proceeding arising from or relating to this Terms of Service exclusively in a federal court in the Northern District of California, U.S.A. or in state court in San Francisco, California U.S.A., and You irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of any such courts in any such action or proceeding brought in such courts by Grail.

Notices. Unless otherwise specified in this Terms of Service, any notices required or allowed under this Terms of Service will be provided to Grail by postal mail to the address for Grail listed on the Platform. Grail may provide You with any notices required or allowed under this Terms of Service by sending You an email to any email address You provide to Grail in connection with Your use of the Platform, provided that in the case of any notice applicable both to You and other Users of the Platform, Grail may instead provide such notice by posting on the Platform. Notices provided to Grail will be deemed given when actually received by Grail. Notice provided to You will be deemed given 24 hours after posting to the Platform or sending via e-mail, unless (as to email) the sending party is notified that the email address is invalid.

Linked Sites. The Platform and Services may contain links to third party sites or Content that are not under the control of Grail. If You access a third party site or Content from the Platform or Services, then You do so at Your own risk and Grail is not responsible for any content on any linked site or content. You may establish a link to the Website, provided that the link does not state or imply any sponsorship or endorsement of Your site by Grail or any group or individual affiliated with Grail. You may not use on Your site any Content or marks appearing on the Website or Platform in establishing the link. You may not frame or otherwise incorporate into another site the content or other materials on the Platform without Grail’s prior written consent.

Additional Terms. Unless otherwise amended as provided herein, this Terms of Service will exclusively govern Your access to and use of the Platform, Content, and Services, and is the complete and exclusive understanding and agreement between the parties, and supersedes any oral or written proposal, agreement or other communication between the parties, regarding Your access to and use of the Platform, Content, and Services. This Terms of Service may be amended or modified only by a writing signed by both parties. All waivers by Grail under this Terms of Service must be in writing or later acknowledged by Grail in writing. Any waiver or failure by Grail to enforce any provision of this Terms of Service on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver by Grail of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. If any provision of this Terms of Service is held to be unenforceable, that provision will be removed to the extent necessary to comply with the law, replaced by a provision that most closely approximates the original intent and economic effect of the original to the extent consistent with the law, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. The prevailing party in any lawsuit or proceeding arising from or related to this Terms of Service will be entitled to receive its costs, expert witness fees, and reasonable attorneys’ fees, including costs and fees on appeal. Neither this Terms of Service nor any rights or obligations of You hereunder may be assigned or transferred by You (in whole or in part and including by sale, merger, consolidation, or other operation of law) without the prior written approval of Grail. Any assignment in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. Grail may assign this Terms of Service to any party that assumes Grail’s obligations hereunder. The parties hereto are independent parties, not agents, employees or employers of the other or joint venturers, and neither acquires hereunder any right or ability to bind or enter into any obligation on behalf of the other. Any reference herein to “including” will mean “including, without limitation.” Upon request from Grail, You agree to provide Grail with such documentation or records with respect to Your activities under this Terms of Service as may be reasonably requested for Grail to verify Your compliance with all applicable Laws and the terms of this Terms of Service.
