A portion of our Terms Of Service (TOS) policy is broken down in gritty detail on the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page. The many details of what you can do and what you can expect are listed there. We urge you to check it out, and to pay close attention to the Legal and Policy sections specifically. Our complete TOS policy is formed by this page and all of the FAQs.
The more general provisions are discussed below.
Please note there are no warranties for the Service. This contract also limits our liability to you and contains an arbitration provision and a class action waiver.
Welcome to the NetNubby Platform
We offer basic Services, including this website and a browser extension for messaging. These Terms cover your use of our Services, so please read them carefully.
Our Business Model and Approach to Privacy
Our mission is to help you say what you think on any web page. Gaining the benefit of others’ thoughts is free, but sharing yours isn’t. You can read more about our business model and our approach to privacy.
Your Content
Our Services allow you to upload, submit, store, send or receive both encrypted and unencrypted content. You retain ownership of your rights in that content. In other words, if it’s yours, it stays yours.
We have only limited rights to use your content so that we can provide and improve our Services. In legal terms: You give us rights to your content to the extent necessary to operate, promote, and improve our Services, and to develop new ones. We cannot access your encrypted content and these rights you’re granting us don’t change that fact.
Content from Our Users
Much of the content available in the Services isn’t from NetNubby. This content is the sole responsibility of the person or entity that makes it available. To the extent content is unencrypted, we may review content to determine whether it is illegal or violates our policies, and we may remove or refuse to display content that we reasonably believe violates our policies or the law. But that does not necessarily mean that we always review content, so please don’t assume that we do.
Minimum Age
Our Services are not directed to children, and you may not use our Services if you are under the age of 13. You must also be old enough to consent to the processing of your personal data in your country (in some countries we may allow your parent or guardian to do so on your behalf). You understand that while we operate accounts as anonymously as possible, the information we collect is still considered personal data requiring your consent to use.
Your Promise to Us When You Use Our Services
You agree that you will not misuse the Services. For example, don’t interfere with our Services or try to access them using methods we don’t provide to you. You may use our Services only as permitted by law, including applicable export and re-export control laws and regulations. We may suspend or stop providing our Services to you if you do not comply with our terms or policies, including our Acceptable Use Policy, or if we are investigating suspected misconduct.
Our Intellectual Property Rights
You agree that your intellectual property rights in our Services are limited to your limited right to use our Services in accordance with these Terms. Using our Services does not give you ownership of any intellectual property rights in our Services or the content you access.
Your NetNubby Account
To protect your NetNubby account, keep your passphrase confidential. You are responsible for the activity that happens on or through your account. Don’t reuse your account passphrase anywhere else. You are responsible for keeping your account and your devices secure.
In connection with your use of the Services, we may send you service announcements, administrative messages and other information. You can opt out of some of these communications.
Copyright Protection
We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement and terminate accounts of repeat infringers according to the process set out in the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
Reciprocal Non-endorsement
You recognize and understand that any website or internet resource not part of our Services is wholly unaffiliated with us and is not endorsed by us. (This includes over 99% of the internet.) Likewise, you acknowledge you will use the Services with the understanding that no internet resource you may access endorses our Services, regardless of its content (patron sites are the exception).
Any Note you post is not, and does not become, part of the visited website’s officially published material. Similarly, any Notes you may encounter on any internet resource you visit do not constitute, and can never become, part of the website’s officially published material.
Notes may contain expressions of sentiment, perspective, opinion or fact—whether true or false—and are 1) the copyrighted property of the author who licenses its use on our network; 2) not a reflection of the views of the Services or its operators; and 3) not an expression of the URL owner on any topic whatsoever, regardless of site copy, Note content or the purpose of the webpage.
Modifying and Terminating our Services
We are constantly changing and improving our Services. We may add or remove functionalities or features, and we may suspend or stop a Service altogether. Some of our software may update automatically on your devices.
You can stop using our Services at any time, although we’ll be sorry to see you go. We may also stop providing Services to you, or add or create new limits to our Services at any time and for any reason or for no reason whatsoever.
We believe that you own your data and preserving your access to such data is important. If we discontinue a Service, where reasonably possible, we will give you advance notice and a chance to get information out of that Service.
Upon the termination, suspension or deletion of your account, whether initiated by you or by us, your right to access and use our Services will immediately cease. Please note that certain provisions of this User Agreement, which by their nature should survive termination (including but not limited to intellectual property rights, limitation of liability, and applicable law), will remain in full force and effect even after your account is closed.
Updates to these Terms
We may modify these terms or any additional terms that apply to our Service to, for example, reflect changes to the law or changes to our Services. Changes will not apply retroactively but will become effective no sooner than three (3) days after they are posted. However, changes addressing new functions for a Service or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. If you do not agree to the modified terms, you must discontinue your use of the Service.
You should look at the TOS regularly. We’ll post notice of modifications to these terms on this page (or in the FAQs).
Business uses of our Services
If you are using our Services on behalf of a business, that business accepts these terms. It will hold harmless and indemnify NetNubby and its affiliates, officers, agents, and employees from any claim, suit or action arising from or related to the use of the Services or violation of these terms, including any liability or expense arising from claims, losses, damages, suits, judgments, litigation costs and attorneys’ fees.
Creating a NetNubby Tribe
When you create a tribe, you are the defacto administrator and are able to add and delete any contacts in your tribe.
Availability, Errors and Inaccuracies
We make a conscientious effort to describe and display Services accurately on the Site. Despite these efforts, a small number of Services may be described inaccurately, or unavailable, and we may experience delays in updating Service information. As a result, we cannot and do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any such information, including prices, specifications, and availability. We reserve the right to change or update Service information and to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time without prior notice. If we determine that there were inaccuracies in Service information, we will cancel your Purchase and notify you of such cancellation based on contact information you provide to us for the Purchase.
No Warranty
NETNUBBY PROVIDES THE SERVICE “AS IS”, “WITH ALL FAULTS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NETNUBBY, ALONG WITH ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS AND REPRESENTATIVES, MAKE NO (AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL) REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, THAT YOUR CONTENT WILL BE SECURE OR NOT OTHERWISE LOST OR DAMAGED, OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF ANY COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE FOREGOING EXCLUSIONS. IN SUCH AN EVENT SUCH EXCLUSION WILL NOT APPLY SOLELY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL NETNUBBY, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR: ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, COVER OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, USE OR CONTENT, HOWEVER CAUSED, UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT, TORT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF NETNUBBY HAS BEEN ADVISED AS TO THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF NETNUBBY AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS, RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL BE LIMITED TO FIFTY DOLLARS ($50.00). THE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS ALSO APPLY IF THIS REMEDY DOES NOT FULLY COMPENSATE YOU FOR ANY LOSSES OR FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES. IN SUCH AN EVENT THIS LIMITATION WILL NOT APPLY TO YOU TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW.
You acknowledge that the foregoing limitations are an essential element of the agreement between you and NetNubby and that in the absence of such limitations the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms would be substantially different.
Arbitration
These Arbitration and Class Action Waiver sections includes an arbitration agreement and an agreement that all claims will be brought only in an individual capacity (and not as a class action or other representative proceeding). Please read them carefully. You may opt out of the arbitration agreement by following the opt out procedure described below.
You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and NetNubby, you will first contact NetNubby and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation any court action.
Arbitration Agreement
After the informal dispute resolution process any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to your use of NetNubby’s services and/or products, including the Service, or relating in any way to the communications between you and NetNubby or any other user of the Service, will be finally resolved by binding arbitration. This mandatory arbitration agreement applies equally to you and NetNubby. However, this arbitration agreement does not (a) govern any Claim by NetNubby for infringement of its intellectual property or access to the Service that is unauthorized or exceeds authorization granted in these Terms or (b) bar you from making use of applicable small claims court procedures in appropriate cases. If you are an individual you may opt out of this arbitration agreement within thirty (30) days of the first date you access or use this Service by following the procedure described below.
Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. There is no judge or jury in arbitration. Instead, the dispute is resolved by a neutral arbitrator. Court review of an arbitration award is limited. Except to the extent the parties agree otherwise, arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and NetNubby are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision will survive any termination of these Terms.
The number of arbitrators will be one. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language and Ohio law will apply. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. If you are an individual and have not accessed or used the Service on behalf of an entity, we will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous, and we will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable. However, the preceding sentence will not apply to the “Class Action Waiver” section below.
If you do not want to arbitrate disputes with NetNubby and you are an individual, you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending an email to legal@netnubby.com within thirty (30) days of the first date you access or use the Service.
Class Action Waiver
Any Claim must be brought in the respective party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding (“Class Action”). The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. If the Claim is subject to arbitration, the arbitrator will not have authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any person or entity not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The parties understand that any right to litigate in court, to have a judge or jury decide their case, or to be a party to a class or representative action, is waived, and that any claims must be decided individually, through arbitration.
If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement, if otherwise effective, will be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and NetNubby each waive any right to a jury trial and each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts located in Columbus, Ohio.
Miscellaneous Legal Terms
When we refer to “NetNubby” and “we” or “us” we mean the NetNubby Service.
If we need to provide notice to you, we will do so via the email address we have on file for you in your NetNubby account.
If a court holds that we cannot enforce a part of these Terms as written, you and we will replace those terms with similar terms to the extent enforceable under the relevant law, but the rest of these Terms will remain in effect. This is the entire contract between you and us regarding the Service. It supersedes any prior contract or oral or written statements regarding your use of the Service.
You may not assign these Terms or transfer any rights to use the Service. We may assign our rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the Services.
NetNubby and you are not legal partners or agents. These Terms are solely for your and our benefit. It is not for the benefit of any other person, except for permitted successors.
You must bring any claim related to these Terms or the Service within one year of the date you could first bring the claim, unless your local law requires a longer time to file claims. If it isn’t filed in time, the claim is permanently barred.
The Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio without regard to conflict of laws rules.
The failure of you or NetNubby to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any of the provisions of these Terms or to exercise any rights or remedies under these Terms will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of your right or NetNubby’s right to assert or rely upon any such provision, right or remedy in that or any other instance; rather, the same will remain in full force and effect.
If you have any questions regarding privacy, please read our privacy policy.
