Capitalized terms not defined in these Terms of Service shall have the meaning set forth in our Privacy Policy.

1. OUR SERVICES AND USERS.

The Services translate and transcribe videos and other content from social media platforms or other user generated content in up to 99 different languages, which can then be uploaded to the social media platforms or hosted on the Platform.

Our Services have several types of users:

1. Visitors. Visitors to our Site, as the term implies, are people who do not register for an account, but want to explore the Site for informational purposes. No login is required for visitors to the Site. Visitors can access all publicly-available content and features of the Site, and can contact us using the contact link on the Site. 
2. Registered Users and Accounts. In order to use the Services, you must establish an account with us. Recos is under no obligation to accept any individual or entity as an account holder, and may accept or reject any registration in our sole and complete discretion. Visitors who register an account with us will be referred to as “Users” in these Terms of Service.

To create an account, you or your authorized representative will be prompted to create a password and user name (“Recos User ID”) and perhaps provide certain additional information that will assist in authenticating your identity when you log-in in the future (collectively “Login Credentials”). You may not transfer your account to anyone else without our prior written permission. When creating your account, you must provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself. Each Recos User ID and corresponding password can be used by only one individual. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account Login Credentials. You are fully responsible for all activities that are associated with your account (including but not limited to any purchases, use of the Services, or communications from your account to Recos). You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use or suspected unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security.

2. RESTRICTIONS.

1. Age Restrictions. The Services are available only to individuals aged 13 years or older. If you are 13 or older, but under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you should review this Agreement with your parent or guardian to make sure that you and your parent or guardian understand it.

3. USER CONTENT; LICENSES.

The Services allow Users to post, send via chat, and upload content such as photos, videos, images, text, graphics, and other materials (collectively, “User Content”) for translation and transcription purposes.

YOU, AND NOT Recos, ARE ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL YOUR USER CONTENT THAT YOU UPLOAD, POST, CHAT, E-MAIL, OR OTHERWISE TRANSMIT VIA THE SERVICES.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us, our affiliates, and our and their respective owners, members, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, licensees, licensors, and assigns harmless from and against any damages, liabilities, losses, expenses, claims, actions, and/or demands, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising or resulting from your breach of the representations and warranties in this paragraph.

4. PURCHASE TERMS.

1. Service Types. A User can access the free version of the Platform to begin using the Services.

14. BINDING ARBITRATION.

In the event of a dispute arising between you and Recos under or relating to this Agreement or the Services (each, a “Dispute”), such Dispute will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). Any election to arbitrate, at any time, shall be final and binding on the other party. IF EITHER YOU OR Recos CHOOSES ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM IN COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL, EXCEPT EITHER PARTY MAY BRING ITS CLAIM IN ITS LOCAL SMALL CLAIMS COURT, IF PERMITTED BY THAT SMALL CLAIMS COURT RULES AND IF WITHIN SUCH COURT’S JURISDICTION. ARBITRATION IS DIFFERENT FROM COURT, AND DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS MAY ALSO BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION. All disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator selected jointly by you and Recos, whose decision will be final, except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted by JAMS pursuant to its then current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules, or, where appropriate, pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. All applicable JAMS’ rules and procedures are available at the JAMS website www.jamsadr.com. Each of you and Recos will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. If conducted in person, the arbitration shall take place in the United States county where you reside. The parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the Dispute immediately after commencement of the arbitration. As set forth in Section 20 below, nothing in this Agreement will prevent us from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect our proprietary interests.

15. CLASS ACTION WAIVER

You agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the Dispute between us and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (i) no arbitration or proceeding shall be joined with any other; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated or resolved on a class action-basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (iii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

16. EQUITABLE RELIEF.

You acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened violation of our intellectual property rights and confidential and proprietary information by you, we will suffer irreparable harm and will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce this Agreement. We may, without waiving any other remedies under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim, equitable, provisional, or injunctive relief that is necessary to protect our rights and property pending the outcome of the arbitration referenced above. You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in Los Angeles, California for purposes of any such action by us.

19. GENERAL.

No failure or delay by Recos in exercising any right or remedy under the Agreement will operate, or be deemed to operate, as a waiver of any such right or remedy. If any provision of the Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be amended and the remainder of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect. The Agreement constitutes the final and complete agreement between you and Recos regarding the subject matter hereof, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous communications, representations, or agreements between us, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements. Headings are for convenience only and shall not be used to limit or interpret the meaning of any of the provisions of the Agreement.
