If you do not agree to all the terms of use, then you may not access or use the Content or Services. KrowdFit may issue additional terms, rules and conditions of participation in particular contests. You agree to be subject to them if you participate in such contests.

2. Modification of Terms of Use

Except for Section 18, providing for binding arbitration and waiver of class action rights, KrowdFit reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify or replace the Terms of Use at any time. The most current version of these Terms will be posted on our Site. You shall be responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications. If a revision to the Terms, in our sole discretion, is material, we will notify you by contacting you through the email address associated with your account. Use of the Services by you after any modification to the Terms constitutes your acceptance of the Terms of Use as modified.

3. Eligibility

You hereby represent and warrant that you are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations and warranties set forth in these terms and to abide by and comply with these terms.

If you do not meet the eligibility requirements of this section, then you are not authorized to use the Service. KrowdFit may require you to provide proof that you are eligible to participate according to this section prior to receiving a prize. This includes by requesting that you fill out an affidavit of eligibility. To the extent KrowdFit requests that you fill out such an affidavit and you fail to do so within 20 days, or KrowdFit otherwise determines that you do not meet the eligibility requirements of this section, in addition to any rights that KrowdFit may have in law or equity, KrowdFit reserves the right to terminate your account and withhold or revoke the awarding of any prizes associated with such account. In such a situation, KrowdFit will pay out any withheld or revoked prizes to the other entrants in the relevant contest in a manner consistent with the prize structure of the contest, to be precisely determined by KrowdFit in its sole discretion.

You may establish, maintain, use and control only one account on the Service. In the event KrowdFit determines that you have opened, maintained, used or controlled more than one account, in addition to any other rights that KrowdFit may have, KrowdFit reserves the right to suspend or terminate any or all of your accounts and terminate, withhold or revoke the awarding of any prizes.

KrowdFit employees may use the Service for the purpose of testing the user experience, but may not win money from KrowdFit Promotions. KrowdFit consultants or promoters of the Service may play in contests without such limitation, but only if (i) their arrangement with KrowdFit does not permit them to have any access to non-public Service data or any other data not made available to all players on the Service and (ii) they do not receive any other advantages in their play on the Service.

4. Conditions of participation

Registration
In order to participate in a contest on the Service, you must register for an account. By registering as a user of the Service, you agree to provide accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted (such information being the “Registration Data”) and maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or KrowdFit has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is inaccurate, not current or incomplete, KrowdFit may deny you access to areas requiring registration, or terminate your account, at its sole discretion.

Subscriptions
Certain areas and features of the site or service require a monthly (or other period) recurring subscription. Subscriptions are available in two types. (1) An individual Subscription and (2) an employer sponsored subscription which may be a condition of employment, participation or other agreement with the employer/sponsor for Krowd and KREW levels. In both cases KrowdFit will charge you or your sponsor on a renewing term at the subscribed rate. The policy governing your subscription is maintained in our MEMBER AGREEMENT.

Guarantee & Refunds
The KrowdFit MEMBER AGREEMENT covers Cancelation, Guarantee & Refunds of your KrowdFit Subscription.

Account Password and Security
At the time of registration for online account access, you must provide a valid email address and Password to be used in conjunction with your account. Many portions of the Service require registration and/or a subscription for access (the “Restricted Areas”). You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Username and Password, and are fully responsible for all uses of your Username and Password, whether by you or others. You agree to (a) keep your Username and Password confidential and not share them with anyone else; (b) immediately notify KrowdFit of any unauthorized use of your Username and Password or account or any other breach of security; and (c) use only your own Username and Password to access the Service’s Restricted Areas. KrowdFit cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.

You acknowledge and agree that KrowdFit is authorized to act on instructions received through the use of your Username and Password, and that KrowdFit may, but is not obligated to, deny access or block any transaction made through use of your Username and Password without prior notice if we believe your Username and Password are being used by someone other than you, or for any other reason.

Communications and Information Practices
As a result of your registration for the Service, you may receive certain commercial communications from KrowdFit. You understand and agree that these communications are part of your registration, and that, to the extent required by law, you may opt out of receiving these communications at any time by either using the unsubscribe functionality or sending an email to support com. Following such an opt-out, we may still communicate with you via email to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Disqualification and Cancellation
KrowdFit also reserves that right to cancel any KrowdFit Promotion contests, in our sole discretion, without any restrictions. KrowdFit, in its sole discretion, may disqualify you from a contest or the entire Service, refuse to award prizes and require the return of any prizes, or suspend or terminate your account if you engage in conduct KrowdFit deems, in its sole discretion, to be improper, unfair or otherwise adverse to the operation of the Service or in any way detrimental to other users. Improper conduct includes, but is not limited to: falsifying personal information required to use the Service or claim a prize; violating any of these rules, accumulating points or prizes through unauthorized methods such as automated scripts or other automated means; tampering with the administration of the Service or trying to in any way tamper with fitness trackers or computer programs associated with the Service; obtaining other entrants’ information and spamming other entrants; and abusing the Service in any way; or otherwise violating these Terms of Use. You acknowledge that the forfeiture and/or return of any prize shall in no way prevent KrowdFit from pursuing criminal or civil proceedings in connection with such conduct.

If for any reason the Service is not running as originally planned (e.g., if the Site becomes corrupted or does not allow the proper usage and processing of entries in accordance with the rules, or if infection by a computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, actions by entrants, fraud, technical failures, or any other causes of any kind, in the sole opinion of KrowdFit corrupts or affects the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of the Service), KrowdFit reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual implicated in or relating to the cause and/or to cancel, terminate, extend, modify or suspend the Service, and select the winner(s) from all eligible entries received. If such cancellation, termination, modification or suspension occurs, notification may be posted on the Site.

We cannot promise that our various services and tools will be available 100% of the time. Some outages may occur, especially when we upgrade our services and tools. This is a normal part of how any technology service must conduct repairs and upgrades. You agree to hold us harmless from any damages that arise from our not providing services to you 100% of the time. Our services may have interruptions or errors and you also agree that we are not responsible for any damages of any nature regarding such interruptions or errors. Should our service not be available for thirty percent or more of any calendar month, we will provide you with one additional month of service at no charge to you.

Technological and Service Changes
We reserve the right to make technical, interface and service changes without prior notice to you. Recourse available to you in cases of any modifications is to cancel the relevant service Agreement. Continued use of the site and/or services and tools following such changes and modifications will constitute your binding acceptance.

Publicity
By entering a contest, you consent to KrowdFit’s and its service providers’ and business partners’ use of your name, voice, likeness, and photograph in connection with the development, production, distribution and/or exploitation (including marketing and promotion) of the selected contest and/or other KrowdFit contests and KrowdFit generally, unless otherwise prohibited by law. Contest winners agree that, from the date of notification of their status as a potential winner, and continuing until such time when notified that they no longer need to do so, they will make themselves available to KrowdFit Inc for a reasonable number of hours of publicity, advertising and promotional activities relating to the contest or other KrowdFit products, services or events, without additional compensation. KrowdFit Inc and its business partners reserve the right to make public statements about the entrants and winner(s), on-air, on the Internet, or otherwise, prior to, during, or following the contest. Entrants agree that KrowdFit may announce any winner’s name on-air or on any of its websites or any other location at any time in connection with the marketing and promotion of KrowdFit or other contests or games operated by KrowdFit. You agree that participation in and (where applicable) the winning of a prize in connection with a contest constitute complete compensation for your obligations under this paragraph, and you agree not to seek to charge a fee or impose other conditions on the fulfillment of these obligations. The rules specific to certain contests may contain additional publicity obligations or may require a written signature on a separate publicity waiver.

5. Game Rules

BringIt Challenges
KrowdFit BringIt challenges are games of skill. Winners are determined by the criteria stated in each contest’s rules. For each contest, winners are determined by the individuals who use their skill and ability to accumulate the most steps, activity minutes or other such “entries” into the contest. Challenges consist of multiple game types with varying rules and winning criteria. You are responsible for reading and understanding the unique rules of the Challenge(s) you participate in.

KrowdFit Promotions
KrowdFit is offering multiple individual promotions to eligible members in the KrowdFit Wellness Rewards Program. These promotions are governed by the GENERAL RULES OF PARTICIPATION

Contest Term
KrowdFit offers contests of varying types. The KrowdFit Promotions run from Saturday to Friday according to the rules for those promotions. The term of BringIt challenges are defined by the challenge organizer.

Prizes
After each contest ends, the tentative winners are announced (generally by the following day) but remain subject to final verification. The players in each contest who accumulate the most entries and comply with eligibility requirements and applicable rules will win prizes as set out in the posted contest details. In the event of a tie, the prize is divided evenly between the tied players, unless otherwise specified.

KrowdFit offers a number of different types of contests. For each contest, we announce the entry requirements and prizes in advance on the contest page.

Prize calculations are based on the results as of the time when final scoring is tabulated by KrowdFit. Once winners are initially announced by KrowdFit, the scoring results will not be changed, though we reserve the right to make adjustments based on errors or irregularities in the transmission of information to us from our data provider or in our calculation of results. We also may make adjustments in the event of noncompliance with the Terms. KrowdFit has no obligation to delay the awarding of a prize in anticipation of any adjustment, and we reserve the right to reverse payments in the event of any adjustment. You agree to cooperate with our efforts to reverse payments.

No substitution or transfer of a prize is permitted. All taxes associated with the receipt or use of any prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. In the event that the awarding of any prizes to winners of the Contest is challenged by any legal authority, KrowdFit reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine whether or not to award or adjust such prizes. In all disputes arising out of the determination of the winner of KrowdFit contests, KrowdFit is the sole judge and its actions are final and binding.

Notification
Winners are generally posted on the Site and/or the Service after the conclusion of each contest by 11 AM PST on the following day. If a winner does not claim his/her prize within 30days of a notification winners may be requested to return via email or regular mail an affidavit of eligibility, a publicity agreement and appropriate tax forms by a specified deadline. Failure to comply with this requirement can result in disqualification. Any prize notification returned as undeliverable may result in disqualification and selection of an alternate winner. In addition, a list of winners and winner’s names for each competition period may be obtained by writing to: KrowdFit.com, 227 Bellevue Way NE, Ste. 701, Bellevue, WA 98004.

Taxation
In early January each year all winners who have won $600 or more (net of all entry fees) over the previous year must provide updated address and social security details to KrowdFit.com, 227 Bellevue Way NE, Ste. 701, Bellevue, WA 98004. These details will be used to file a 1099-MISC with the Internal Revenue Service.

Awards and Payouts
KrowdFit payouts are done via check or PayPal. We require a valid mailing address and social security number in order to file the appropriate tax forms at year end. We also may conduct checks for Terms compliance, including anti-fraud checks on playing patterns and deposits prior to processing a payout, and we may request additional information before fulfilling a payout.

19. Binding arbitration and class action waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT

Initial Dispute Resolution
Our Customer Support Department is available via the web to address any concerns you may have regarding the Service. Our Customer Service Department is able to resolve most concerns quickly to our member’s satisfaction. The parties shall use their best efforts through this Customer Service process to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement and good faith negotiations which shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

Binding Arbitration
If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of 30 days from the time informal dispute resolution under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including their formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Service shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the supplementary procedures for consumer related disputes of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The Commercial Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at +1.800.778.7879. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, KrowdFit will pay the additional cost. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, KrowdFit will pay all of the actual filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration, provided your claim does not exceed $75,000. The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain cases. 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.

Location
Arbitration shall be initiated in the County of Multnomah, State of Oregon, United States of America, and you and KrowdFit agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Multnomah County, Oregon, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

Class Action Waiver
The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND KROWDFIT 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 OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

Exception – Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims
Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
