Reach Terms of Service

Effective date: 11/1/2022

Welcome to Reach, a loyalty application that connects individual consumers (“Users”) with participating merchants and brands (“Merchants”) within a designated network (“Network”). Reach is owned and operated by REACH ENTERPRISES, INC. (DBA Reach) (“Reach,” “we” and “us”).

About the Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding contract between you and Reach. Your use of the Services in any way means that you agree to all of these Terms, and these Terms will remain in effect while you use the Services. These Terms include the provisions in this document as well as those in the Privacy Policy https://joinreach.com/privacy-policy and the Reach Reward Card Terms. Your use of or participation in certain Services may also be subject to additional policies, rules and/or conditions (“Additional Terms”), which are incorporated herein by reference, and you understand and agree that by using or participating in any such Services, you agree to also comply with these Additional Terms.

Please read these Terms carefully. They cover important information about Services provided to you. These Terms include information about future changes to these Terms, limitations of liability, a class action waiver and resolution of disputes by arbitration instead of in court. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR USE OF AND ACCESS TO OUR SERVICES ARE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS; IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING, YOU MAY NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICES IN ANY MANNER.

ARBITRATION NOTICE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER: EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DISPUTES DESCRIBED IN THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT SECTION BELOW, YOU AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.

When we use the word “you” in these Terms, it refers to any user, regardless of whether he or she is a User or a Merchant, while if we use one of those specific terms, it only applies to those who fall into such category.

Reach is the facilitator of relationships between Users and Merchants and, as such, is only responsible for connecting Users with Merchants and is not responsible for the actions of Users or Merchants with respect to the Services. We do not control the actions or inactions of any User or Merchant, and neither Users nor Merchants are our employees.

Reach Overview

Reach rewards Users for various activities they may do in conjunction with Merchants and/or Reach. Users may receive a reward currency (“Reward Currency”) (as defined below) for certain store visits and purchases and for engaging in various activities with participating Merchants. Each Network may have its own designated Reward Currency, e.g., Reach$, CityDollars, etc. The amount of Reward Currency a User receives will depend on how much he/she engages with the opportunities offered by Reach and Merchants.

A few notes on earning Reward Currency:

  • Reward Currency is issued in connection with a reward/loyalty program, has no cash value and may not be redeemed for cash.
  • Reward Currency earned from a Merchant in a specific Network may only be redeemed at Merchants within that Network.
  • Reach reserves the right to decide, in its sole discretion, whether a User is eligible to receive Reward Currency for any particular activity.
  • Users will have many opportunities to earn Reward Currency. Each opportunity will have its own requirements, e.g., turning on the Specific Location setting on your mobile phone, so please review each opportunity carefully.

A few notes on using Reward Currency:

  • To use your Reward Currency, you must sign up for a Reach Reward Card and accept the Reach Reward Card Terms.
  • The Reach Reward Card is issued by Patriot Bank, N.A.. The Reach Reward Card is a Mastercard® consumer rewards prepaid card and may only be used for purchases from participating Merchants within the Network in which the Reward Currency was earned.
  • Reach Reward Cards can only be issued to cardholders who are residents of the United States and who have a verifiable physical U.S. street address (no P.O. Boxes).
  • Each network may have certain restrictions on the use of Reward Currency, e.g., in some networks Reward Currency may not be used for online purchases.
  • Reward Currency may only be used for purchases within the continental U.S., Hawaii, and Alaska; transactions must be denominated in U.S. Dollars.

A few notes on your Reach account:

  • Reach is open to individual US residents age 18 or older except in those states where it is prohibited by law.
  • In order to earn and use Reward Currency, you must create a Reach account that allows you to track the Reward Currency you have received (“Account”).
  • You must provide a mobile phone number to be associated with the Account – that number must be unique to you, you must be authorized to use that number, and you may not use a virtual or call-forwarding phone number that you received from a third-party service such as Google Voice. Accounts which do not conform to this requirement may be considered fraudulent and may be permanently closed without notice.
  • To create an account, you must provide a valid email address that you control and have access to.
  • Each network may have additional requirements to create an Account, e.g,, connecting a financial account like a credit or debit card.
  • A Reach Account is only for individual use, and a User may only have one Account.
  • You may not share an Account, nor transfer, sell, or barter the Reward Currency you have received.
  • Your Reach Account will remain active as long as you have received or used Reward Currency in the past 12 months. If your Account becomes inactive, we may close your Account and any Reward Currency will expire and be removed from the Account in accordance with applicable laws.
  • You can close your Account at any time, but if you do so, any Reward Currency will be removed from your Account and you will no longer receive Reward Currency in that Account. Please read our Privacy Policy at https://joinreach.com/privacy-policyto learn how we treat information you have provided to us after you have closed your User Account. To close your Account, contact us at reachsupport@reachenterprises.com.
  • Reach is free to terminate (or suspend access to) your User Account for any reason in our sole discretion, including your breach of these Terms of Service and/or due to any actions in which you seek to exploit, manipulate, cheat, abuse, misrepresent, or otherwise defraud or defame Reach, the Merchants, the Network, other Customers, or their affiliates.
  • The Reach app consists of several different Networks of Merchants. Reach Users may participate in multiple Networks; Reward Currency earned within one Network may only be used for purchases from Merchants within that Network.

Please read on to learn the rules and restrictions that govern the use of our website(s), products, services and mobile applications (collectively, the “Services”). If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding these terms or the Services, please contact us at:

Will these Terms ever change?

We are constantly trying to improve our Services, so these Terms may need to change along with our Services. We reserve the right to change the Terms at any time, but if we do, we will place a notice on our site located at https://joinreach.com , send you an email, and/or notify you by some other means.

If you don’t agree with the new Terms, you are free to reject them; unfortunately, that means you will no longer be able to use the Services, your Account will be closed, and any Reward Currency you have received will be removed from your Account. If you use the Services in any way after a change to the Terms is effective, that means you agree to all of the changes.

Except for changes by us as described here, no other amendment or modification of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by both you and us.

What about my privacy?

Reach takes the privacy of its users very seriously. For the current Reach Privacy Policy, please click here https://joinreach.com/privacy-policy.

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires that online service providers obtain parental consent before they knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age; if you are a child under 13 years of age, please do not attempt to register for or otherwise use the Services or send us any personal information.

What are the basics of using Reach?

Reach allows you to establish an Account where you can receive Reward Currency for certain visits and purchases with Merchants, and when you engage with Reach and/or Merchants in other ways. You must provide a mobile phone number to be associated with the Account – that number must be unique to you, you must be authorized to use that number, and you may not use a virtual or call-forwarding phone number that you received from a third-party service such as Google Voice. As a User, you represent and warrant that you are an individual of legal age to form a binding contract and that you are a United States resident. You may only create one User Account per person and you represent and warrant that you will not share your Account information with other individuals. You are responsible for protecting your Account information and preventing unauthorized access to your Account.

As a User, you agree that you will only use the Services for your own internal, personal, non-commercial use, and not on behalf of or for the benefit of any third party, and only in a manner that complies with all laws that apply to you. If your use of the Services is prohibited by applicable laws, then you aren’t authorized to use the Services. We can’t and won’t be responsible for your using the Services in a way that breaks the law.

What about messaging?

As part of the Services, you may receive communications through the Services, including messages that Reach sends you (for example, via email or in the Application (as defined below)).

Are there restrictions in how I can use the Services?

You represent, warrant, and agree that you will not provide or contribute anything, including any Content (as that term is defined below), to the Services, or otherwise use or interact with the Services, in a manner that:

  • infringes or violates the intellectual property rights or any other rights of anyone else (including Reach);
  • violates any law or regulation, including, without limitation, any applicable export control laws, privacy laws or any other purpose not reasonably intended by Reach;
  • is dangerous, harmful, fraudulent, deceptive, threatening, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable;
  • attempts, in any manner, to obtain the password, account, or other security information from any other user;
  • violates the security of any computer network, or cracks any passwords or security encryption codes;
  • runs Maillist, Listserv, any form of auto-responder or “spam” on the Services, or any processes that run or are activated while you are not logged into the Services, or that otherwise interfere with the proper working of the Services (including by placing an unreasonable load on the Services’ infrastructure);
  • “crawls,” “scrapes,” or “spiders” any page, data, or portion of or relating to the Services or Content (through use of manual or automated means);
  • copies or stores any significant portion of the Content; or
  • decompiles, reverse engineers, or otherwise attempts to obtain the source code or underlying ideas or information of or relating to the Services.

A violation of any of the foregoing is grounds for termination of your right to use or access the Services.

What are my rights in the Services?

The materials displayed or performed or available on or through the Services, including, but not limited to, text, graphics, data, articles, photos, images, illustrations and so forth (all of the foregoing, the “Content”) are protected by copyright and/or other intellectual property laws. You promise to abide by all copyright notices, trademark rules, information, and restrictions contained in any Content you access through the Services, and you won’t use, copy, reproduce, modify, translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform, upload, display, license, sell, commercialize or otherwise exploit for any purpose any Content not owned by you, (i) without the prior consent of the owner of that Content or (ii) in a way that violates someone else’s (including Reach’s) rights.

Subject to these Terms, we grant each user of the Services a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable and non-transferable license to use (i.e., to download and display locally) Content solely for purposes of using the Services. Use, reproduction, modification, distribution or storage of any Content for any purpose other than using the Services is expressly prohibited without prior written permission from us. You understand that Reach owns the Services. You won’t modify, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, reproduce (except as expressly provided in this Section), create derivative works based on, or otherwise exploit any of the Services. The Services may allow you to copy or download certain Content, but please remember that even where these functionalities exist, all the restrictions in this section still apply.

Who is responsible for what I see and do on the Services?

Any information or Content publicly posted or privately transmitted through the Services is the sole responsibility of the person from whom such Content originated, and you access all such information and Content at your own risk, and we aren’t liable for any errors or omissions in that information or Content or for any damages or loss you might suffer in connection with it. We cannot control and have no duty to take any action regarding how you may interpret and use the Content or what actions you may take as a result of having been exposed to the Content, and you hereby release us from all liability for you having acquired or not acquired Content through the Services. We can’t guarantee the identity of any users with whom you interact in using the Services and are not responsible for which users gain access to the Services.

You are responsible for all Content you contribute, in any manner, to the Services, and you represent and warrant you have all rights necessary to do so, in the manner in which you contribute it.

The Services may contain links or connections to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Reach. When you access third-party websites or use third-party services, you accept that there are risks in doing so, and that Reach is not responsible for such risks.

Reach has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, privacy policies, or practices of or opinions expressed in any third-party websites or by any third party that you interact with through the Services. In addition, Reach will not and cannot monitor, verify, censor or edit the content of any third-party site or service. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Services and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third-party website or service that you visit or utilize. By using the Services, you release and hold us harmless from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website or service.

Your interactions with organizations and/or individuals found on or through the Services, including payment and delivery of goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such organizations and/or individuals. You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any of these third parties. You agree that Reach shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings.

If there is a dispute between participants on this site or Services, or between users and any third party, you agree that Reach is under no obligation to become involved. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users, you release Reach, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or our Services. You shall and hereby do waive California Civil Code Section 1542 or any similar law of any jurisdiction, which says in substance: “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.”

Will Reach ever change the Services?

We’re always trying to improve our Services, so they may change over time. We may suspend or discontinue any part of the Services, or we may introduce new features or impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Services. We reserve the right to remove any Content from the Services at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, if someone alleges you contributed that Content in violation of these Terms), in our sole discretion, and without notice.

From time to time, different Merchants and/or Networks may be added to or removed from Reach. In the event a Merchant or Network is removed, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of their departure, and you will be able to use Reward Currency for purchases from such Merchants and/or Networks for thirty (30) days after its termination date. Merchant and/or Network removals will not reduce or otherwise impact Reward Currency you have already received. However, you will no longer receive any Reward Currency from such Merchant and/or Network after its termination date, and any promotions or other opportunities to receive Reward Currency offered by the departing Merchant and/or Network will end as of its termination date.

In the event that Reach permanently discontinues the Services, you may continue to spend any Reward Currency you have received but not used for six (6) months after we notify you of the Services being discontinued and all Reward Currency shall expire at the end of such 6-month period. If we permanently discontinue the Services, we may, in our sole discretion, choose to make available alternative ways to redeem Reward Currency and may limit the participating Merchants and/or Networks in our sole discretion.

Do the Services cost anything?

The Services are currently free, but we reserve the right to charge for certain or all Services in the future. We will notify you before any Services you are then using begin carrying a fee, and if you wish to continue using such Services, you must pay all applicable fees for such Services.

About Reward Currency

As part of the Services, Users will have opportunities to receive Reward Currency for engaging in various activities through the Services. Reach reserves the right to decide, in its sole discretion, whether a User is eligible to receive Reward Currency for any particular activity. If Reach determines that a User has attempted to receive or use Reward Currency inappropriately, Reach may close the User’s Account and remove any Reward Currency in the Account.

Users may redeem Reward Currency earned within a Network using their Reach Reward Card at any participating Merchant in that Network.  At the time of redemption, each unit of Reward Currency will be redeemed toward the purchase at participating Merchants, subject to the current Network redemption rate, currency exchange rate(s), and any restrictions and requirements of that Network. Opportunities to receive and use Reward Currency may be subject to additional terms and conditions as provided to Users from time to time.

After enrollment, you can sign up for a Reach Reward Card with a 16-digit account number which lets you use your Reward Currency for purchases with participating Merchants. You must provide a valid address when you sign up for a Reach Reward Card, along with certain other information to confirm your identity, and you must accept the Reach Reward Card Terms. The Reach Reward Card is issued by Patriot Bank, N.A.. The Reach Reward Card is a Mastercard® consumer rewards prepaid card that may only be used for purchases from participating Merchants within the Network in which the Reward Currency was earned. Reach Reward Cards can only be issued to cardholders who are residents of the United States and who have a verifiable physical U.S. street address (no P.O. Boxes).

The Reach Reward Card will be connected to your User Reach Account and you can use it to make purchases from participating Merchants using Reward Currency. Reward Currency does not expire as long as your User Account remains active. To keep your User Account active, you must have received or used Reward Currency in the past 12 months. If you do not receive or use Reward Currency through the Services in a twelve (12) month period, the Reward Currency in your User Account will expire and be removed from the Account, and Reach may close the Account. If this happens, Reward Currency will not be reissued. As a User, you should sign into your Account regularly to check when Reward Currency is due to expire. For additional information regarding opportunities to receive Reward Currency, please see the Feeds section in our Application (as defined below).

“Reward Currency” means rewards offered through the Services for Users’ participation in the Reach Services, certain visits and/or purchases from Merchants, or for certain other activities, including but not limited to engaging with Merchants and/or Reach via various promotional opportunities.

Restrictions on Reward Currency

  • Opportunities to receive Reward Currency are not valid where prohibited by law.
  • All purchases involving the receipt or use of Reward Currency must be made in the United States and be denominated in U.S. Dollars.
  • Reward Currency earned within a Network of Merchants are only valid for purchases with Merchants in that Network, and may not be exchanged for cash, credit, store credit or any other currency.
  • Any attempt to exchange Reward Currency for other currencies shall constitute fraud and will result in immediate termination of your Account and removal of any Reward Currency in your Account.
  • Reward Currency has no cash value and may not be sold, traded, pooled, shared or bartered, unless explicitly permitted by Reach in writing.
  • Reward Currency may not be transferred, including to heirs or beneficiaries.
  • Reach may establish a minimum number of Reward Currency that can be used in a transaction.
  • Reward Currency is a closed-loop reward product usable solely to pay for goods and services from the currently participating Merchants.

Returns

All returns of products or services purchased must be made directly with the Merchant from which you made the applicable purchase, in accordance with such Merchant’s return policy. Returns cannot be processed through the Services and Reach will have no responsibility for facilitating any returns or providing any refunds. If you make a purchase that makes you eligible to receive Reward Currency, Reach may put that Reward Currency in a Pending state to allow time for any return of that purchase. If you return an item for which you had already received Reward Currency, Reach reserves the right to remove the Reward Currency you received from your Account. If you return a purchase made using Reward Currency, the Reward Currency you used toward that purchase will be returned to your Account. A return does not count as receiving or using Reward Currency and therefore will not affect a User’s active/ inactive status.

What if I want to stop using the Services?

As a User, you’re free to close your Account at any time; please refer to our Privacy Policy https://joinreach.com/privacy-policy as well as the licenses above, to understand how we treat information you provide to us after you have stopped using our Services. If you close your Account, any Reward Currency in the Account will be removed and you will not receive Reward Currency in that Account in the future.

Reach is also free to terminate (or suspend access to) your use of the Services for any reason in our discretion, including your breach of these Terms. In the event Reach terminates your use of the Services, your Account will be closed and any Reward Currency in your Account will be removed. Reach has the sole right to decide whether you are in violation of any of the restrictions set forth in these Terms.

Once an Account is terminated, the Account cannot be re-opened and any Reward Currency  you had received cannot be reinstated.

Provisions that, by their nature, should survive termination of these Terms shall survive termination. By way of example, all of the following will survive termination: any obligation you have to indemnify us, any limitations on our liability, any terms regarding ownership or intellectual property rights, and terms regarding disputes between us, including without limitation the arbitration agreement.

What about Mobile Applications?

You acknowledge and agree that the availability of our Application (as defined below) is dependent on the third party stores from which you download the Application, e.g., the App Store from Apple or the Android app market from Google (each an “App Store”). Each App Store may have its own terms and conditions to which you must agree before downloading mobile applications from such store, including the specific terms relating to Apple App Store set forth below. You agree to comply with, and your license to use our application is conditioned upon your compliance with, such App Store terms and conditions. To the extent such other terms and conditions from such App Store are less restrictive than, or otherwise conflict with, the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service, the more restrictive or conflicting terms and conditions in these Terms of Service apply.

I use the Reach App available via the Apple App Store – should I know anything about that?

These Terms apply to your use of all the Services, including our iOS applications (the “Application”) available via the Apple, Inc. (“Apple”) App Store, but the following additional terms also apply to the Application:

  • Both you and Reach acknowledge that the Terms are concluded between you and Reach only, and not with Apple, and that Apple is not responsible for the Application or the Content;
  • The Application is licensed to you on a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable basis, solely to be used in connection with the Services for your private, personal, non-commercial use, subject to all the terms and conditions of these Terms as they are applicable to the Services;
  • You will only use the Application in connection with an Apple device that you own or control;
  • You acknowledge and agree that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the Application;
  • In the event of any failure of the Application to conform to any applicable warranty, including those implied by law, you may notify Apple of such failure; upon notification, Apple’s sole warranty obligation to you will be to refund to you the purchase price, if any, of the Application;
  • You acknowledge and agree that Reach, and not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims you or any third party may have in relation to the Application;
  • You acknowledge and agree that, in the event of any third-party claim that the Application or your possession and use of the Application infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, Reach, and not Apple, will be responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such infringement claim;
  • You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties;
  • Both you and Reach acknowledge and agree that, in your use of the Application, you will comply with any applicable third-party terms of agreement which may affect or be affected by such use; and
  • Both you and Reach acknowledge and agree that Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as the third-party beneficiary hereof.

Can I refer other users?

From time to time Reach may offer rewards or incentives for referring others to the Services. The referring user (“Referrer”) may refer individuals or entities who are neither current customers of Reach nor registered users of the Services (“Referee”). A registered user is a person or entity that already has an existing Account with Reach. There is no limit to the number of referrals that Referrer can make, nor the cumulative rewards or incentives that the Referrer may receive through such special offer, unless otherwise indicated. Referrer will receive the stated reward or incentive for each Referee sent by the Referrer that completes the required action described in that specific offer (such as signing up for an Account or making a purchase). All Referees must be first-time recipients of the offer, and multiple referrals to the same individual or entity will be disregarded. Reach reserves the right to modify or terminate any special offers at any time and to revoke from Referrer and Referee the special offer at Reach’s discretion for any reason or for no reason whatsoever. If Reach determines that Referrer or Referee is attempting to obtain unfair advantage or otherwise violate the terms or spirit of such special offer, Reach reserves the right to (a) revoke any rewards or incentives issued to either Referrer or Referee and/or (b) charge the Referrer or Referee for any rewards or incentives (1) used by Referrer or Referee prior to such revocation or (2) issued by Reach to any ineligible Referrer or Referee. All special offers are subject to any other terms, conditions and restrictions set forth on the Services or presented in connection with the special offer.

What else do I need to know?

Warranty Disclaimer.

Reach and its licensors, suppliers, partners, parent, subsidiaries or affiliated entities, and each of their respective officers, directors, members, employees, consultants, contract employees, representatives and agents, and each of their respective successors and assigns (Reach and all such parties together, the “Reach Parties”) make no representations or warranties concerning the Services, including without limitation regarding any Content contained in or accessed through the Services, and the Reach Parties will not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality, or decency of material contained in or accessed through the Services or any claims, actions, suits procedures, costs, expenses, damages or liabilities arising out of use of, or in any way related to your participation in, the Services. The Reach Parties make no representations or warranties regarding suggestions or recommendations of services or products offered or purchased through or in connection with the Services. THE SERVICES AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED BY REACH (AND ITS LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS) ON AN “AS-IS” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Limitation of Liability.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TORT, CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) SHALL ANY OF THE REACH PARTIES BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON FOR (A) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, ACCURACY OF RESULTS, OR COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, (B) ANY SUBSTITUTE GOODS, SERVICES OR TECHNOLOGY, (C) ANY AMOUNT, IN THE AGGREGATE, IN EXCESS OF ONE-HUNDRED ($100) DOLLARS OR (D) ANY MATTER BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL OR CERTAIN OTHER DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Indemnity.

You agree to indemnify and hold the Reach Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages (actual and consequential), losses and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or in any way related to any claims relating to (a) your use of the Services, and (b) your violation of these Terms. In the event of such a claim, suit, or action (“Claim”), we will attempt to provide notice of the Claim to the contact information we have for your Account (provided that failure to deliver such notice shall not eliminate or reduce your indemnification obligations hereunder).

Assignment.

You may not assign, delegate or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations hereunder, or your Services Account, in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) without Reach’s prior written consent. We may transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations without consent.

Choice of Law.

These Terms are governed by and will be construed under the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of Connecticut, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

Arbitration Agreement.

Please read the following ARBITRATION AGREEMENT carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Reach and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from Reach. Both you and Reach acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms, Reach’s officers, directors, employees and independent contractors (“Personnel”) are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms, Personnel will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as the third-party beneficiary hereof.

  • Arbitration Rules; Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms directly through good-faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to either party initiating arbitration. If such negotiations do not resolve the dispute, it shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in Santa Clara County, California. The arbitration will proceed in the English language, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes. The arbitrator shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
  • Costs of Arbitration. The Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Reach will pay all arbitration fees for claims less than seventy-five thousand ($75,000) dollars. Reach will not seek its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous.
  • Small Claims Court; Infringement. Either you or Reach may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in the state of Connecticut. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction, to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
  • Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND REACH WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR JURY. You and Reach are instead choosing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In any litigation between you and Reach over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND REACH WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.
  • Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor Reach is entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in (g) below.
  • Opt-out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Section by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: 1250 Borregas Avenue, Sunnyvale CA 94089 postmarked within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. You must include (i) your name and residence address, (ii) the email address and/or telephone number associated with your Account, and (iii) a clear statement that you want to opt out of these Terms’ arbitration agreement.
  • Exclusive Venue. If you send the opt-out notice in (f), and/or in any circumstances where the foregoing arbitration agreement permits either you or Reach to litigate any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms in court, then the foregoing arbitration agreement will not apply to either party, and both you and Reach agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the state or federal courts located in, respectively, Santa Clara County, California, or the federal district in which that county falls.
  • Severability. If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration Agreement section will be null and void. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Reach.

Miscellaneous.

You will be responsible for paying, withholding, filing, and reporting all taxes, duties, and other governmental assessments associated with your activity in connection with the Services, provided that the Reach may, in its sole discretion, do any of the foregoing on your behalf or for itself as it sees fit. The failure of either you or us to exercise, in any way, any right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of these Terms are found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated, to the minimum extent necessary, so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. You and Reach agree that these Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding between you and Reach, and that these Terms supersede and cancel all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venture of Reach, and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Reach in any respect whatsoever.

Except as expressly set forth in the sections above regarding the Apple Application and the arbitration agreement, you and Reach agree there are no third-party beneficiaries intended under these Terms.
