This Utah Grubs LLC Terms and Conditions of Service (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of the time you may access a Deal (as defined in Section 3) on the App (as defined in Section 2) or you may post a Deal on the App (the “Effective Time”), by and between you (“User”) and Utah Grubs LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“Servicer”). This Agreement may refer to User or Servicer individually as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties.”
In consideration of the mutual promises in this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Scope of Agreement. This Agreement governs anything arising from or relating to User’s use of the App, the Services (as defined in Section 3), any Merchant Agreement (as defined in Section 3), the Utah Grubs LLC Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”), and anything else arising from or relating to this Agreement.
2. The App and Users. User acknowledges that Servicer owns and operates an application downloadable by mobile phone, computer, or any other electronic device Servicer deems appropriate from time to time (the “App”). “Subscriber” means any User that may access and redeem a Deal on the App. “Merchant” means any User that posts a Deal on the App. A User can be any individual with capacity to contract, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, limited partnership, association, government entity, and any other entity with capacity to contract. User can also be a Subscriber, a Merchant, or both.
3. The Services. Servicer shall collectively provide the following “Services” to User as defined below:
Services Provided to Merchant. Servicer shall provide Merchant the following services:
Post coupons for use when purchasing Merchant’s goods or services on the App for Subscribers to redeem at Merchant’s places of business (each a “Deal” or collectively, the “Deals”);
Post Deals on the first of every month that will be valid for that month and can only be reposted to the App, changed and reposted to the App, or removed from the App on the first of every following month, subject to the Merchant Agreement (as defined in Section 3(a)(v);
Provide Subscribers one or more locations of Merchant’s places of business on the App; and
Maintain, repair, and update the App (“Merchant Services”).
Condition Precedent to Receiving Merchant Services. Unless otherwise permitted by Servicer, Servicer’s duty to provide Merchant Services are contingent on Servicer and Merchant having a prior written agreement that provides (A) what Deal(s) will be posted on the App; (B) how and when such Deal(s) will be reposted, changed, or removed from the App; (C) how many times a Subscriber may use such Deal(s) every month; and (D) the liquidated damages payable to Servicer for Merchant committing a breach as described in Section 5(b) (“Merchant Agreement”).
Services Provided to Subscriber. Servicer shall provide Subscriber the following services:
Access to the App;
Enable Subscribers to view Deals;
Enable Subscribers to redeem Deals posted on the App to Merchant’s places of business;
Provide locations of Merchant’s places of business after learning of Subscriber’s real-time location; and
Maintain, repair, and update the App (“Subscriber Services”).
Customer Service. Servicer shall answer User’s questions about the App, provide instruction to User on the functions of the App, and assist User when the App has troubleshooting (“Customer Service”). Servicer’s provision of the Customer Service is contingent on User contacting Servicer by email at support@utahgrubs.com. User acknowledges that Servicer shall not be liable for the App being dysfunctional, bugged, damaged, corrupted, or otherwise has troubleshooting.
Subscriber’s App Subscriptions.
Subscriber gains access to the App and its Deals by downloading the App, providing necessary information to sign up, and paying Servicer a monthly or annual subscription fee.
In consideration of Subscriber’s payment of a subscription fee to Servicer through any payment method Servicer deems appropriate from time to time, Servicer shall provide monthly and annual subscriptions to Subscriber Services. Servicer shall have separate prices for each subscription and may change the prices for each subscription at any time and without prior notice to Subscriber. Subscriber learns of the price for the subscription it chooses after accepting this Agreement.
A monthly subscription lasts 30 days from the day in which Subscriber purchased the subscription. An annual subscription lasts 365 days from the day in which Subscriber purchased the subscription.
Servicer shall ensure the App includes an option for Subscribers to automatically renew their monthly subscription or annual subscription through automatic payment of the subscription fee.
If Subscriber cancels its monthly subscription on any day in the month, then Servicer shall provide Subscriber Services for the remainder of that monthly subscription. If Subscriber cancels its annual subscription on any day in the year, then Servicer shall provide Subscriber Services for the remainder of that annual subscription. If an annual or monthly subscription expires, then Servicer is no longer obligated to provide Subscriber Customer Service or Subscriber Services.
Servicer need not provide Subscriber Services to Subscriber if Subscriber fails to pay any due subscription fee in full.
Merchant’s Duties.
Merchant shall cause its officers, directors, employees, and agents to do the following:
Be cognizant of any valid Deal that Merchant has on the App; and
Redeem and comply with any valid Deal that Merchant has on the App if Subscriber presents such a Deal at one of Merchant’s places of business.
If Merchant fails to comply with this Section 5(a), Merchant shall pay Servicer [$300.00] per violation. The Parties acknowledge and intend that this Section 5(a)(iii) is not punitive, but a reasonable calculation of the monetary value of Servicer’s loss of paying Subscribers, diminished reputation, and good will. Merchant waives any challenge, and shall not bring any challenge, to the validity of this Section 5(a)(iii) in any manner, including, but not limited to, any legal action before any court, arbitrator, government agency, or any other tribunal. This Section 5(a)(iii) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing between Merchant and Subscriber, Merchant shall not commit any breach of any Merchant Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and intend that rescinding any valid Deal or amending any valid Deal to have a lower discount than it had during the same month is a breach of any Merchant Agreement and of this Agreement. The Parties further acknowledge and intend that one rescission of a valid Deal or one amendment of a valid Deal to have a lower discount than it had during the same month is equal to one breach of the Merchant Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and subject to the Merchant Agreement, Merchant may amend a Deal if that amendment to the Deal is effective and posted on the App in a later month.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and subject to the Merchant Agreement, Merchant may choose not to post a Deal in a later month.
Notifications. Subscriber and Merchant consent to receiving mobile phone notifications, emails, or any other communications Servicer deems appropriate arising from or relating to the App, the Service, any Merchant Agreement, the Privacy Policy, and anything else arising from or relating to this Agreement.
Privacy Policy. User shall comply with the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into this Agreement. User acknowledges it has reviewed the Privacy Policy and understands its requirements, which is available at [include link to Privacy Policy]. User shall also cause its officers, directors, employees, and agents to comply with the Privacy Policy.
Intellectual Property Rights and Limited, Non-Exclusive License.
User acknowledges that Servicer owns any copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, or any other intellectual property rights arising from or relating to the App. Servicer grants User a limited, non-exclusive license to use the App for the limited purpose of receiving the Services from Servicer through the App when User has a fully paid monthly or annual subscription. The availability of the license coincides with User’s monthly or annual subscription to the App. If User has access to the App without a fully paid monthly or annual subscription, no license is granted. This license extends to all versions of the App. Once such subscriptions expire for User, Servicer immediately revokes any license granted to User. User shall not transfer or sublicense any license Servicer grants to User. Any attempted transfer or sublicense shall be null and void. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Servicer may rescind any license granted to User at any time upon notice to User.
Servicer does not transfer or grant any license to User for any copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, or any other intellectual property that is not expressly granted to User.
User shall not:
reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App;
alter the App’s composition;
install or use any non-Servicer software or technology in any way that would subject Servicer’s intellectual property to obligations beyond those included in this Agreement;
hack the App;
use any of the App’s software or code on any other software or code;
separate and run parts of the App on more than one device;
distribute, copy, resell, rent, or lend the App;
work around any technical limitations in the App or restrictions in the App’s documentation or structure; or
use the App in any manner inconsistent with the limited, non-exclusive license granted in Section 8(a) of this Agreement or the intellectual property rights of Servicer.
This Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
Term and Termination. This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Time and shall continue until User can no longer access a Deal on the App and User can no longer post a Deal on the App. Servicer may immediately terminate this Agreement for any other reason at any time upon written notice to User, including, but not limited to, notice by email, mobile phone, social media, website, letter, conduct (e.g., User being locked out of the App) or any other written notice that Servicer deems appropriate from time to time.
Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, Subscriber shall pay any unpaid subscription fees to Servicer and Merchant shall pay any unpaid damages or other debts owed to Subscriber under this Agreement and any Merchant Agreement. Further, Subscriber need not provide the Services to User upon the termination of this Agreement. Further, User shall no longer have access to Deals on the App or be able to post Deals on the App.
Indemnification. User shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Servicer and Servicer’s respective members, directors, officers, employees or agents, from and against any and all claims, causes of action, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, judgments, awards or costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, arising out of, resulting from, or relating to: (i) User’s failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement or the Privacy Policy; or (ii) the negligent operations, acts, or omissions of User or User’s employees or agents.
