Unstoppable Domains – Login and Humanity Check Terms

These Terms of Service, including any terms and conditions and policies incorporated by reference (collectively, these “Terms”) constitute a binding agreement between Unstoppable Domains, Inc. (referred to as “Unstoppable”) and each of its customers (“Customer”) governing Customer’s use of the Login with Unstoppable Domains product (“Login”) (as defined below).  Customer acknowledges that the Humanity Check Services (defined below) is available only if Customer has clicked “Agree” to add the Humanity Check Services.  The “Unstoppable Services” means, collectively, use of the Login Product, Humanity Check Services, Unstoppable APIs, and Unstoppable’s website at www.unstoppabledomains.com (“Website”) and access to and use of Content (as defined below).  Customer and Unstoppable are each referred to herein as a Party, and collectively, the “Parties”.

THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER THAT IMPACT YOUR RIGHTS ABOUT HOW TO RESOLVE DISPUTES.

  1. LOGIN PRODUCT AND UNSTOPPABLE APIs
    a) “Login” means the Login with Unstoppable product, including the Login Integration Guide, libraries, components, the associated open-source server, and any use of the Unstoppable APIs in connection therewith.  The “Unstoppable APIs” means, collectively, (i) the application programming interface (“API”) owned by or licensed to Unstoppable and all software, feature, functions, services, materials and proprietary and intellectual property rights associated therewith that allows Customers to enable its own end users (“End Users”) to use their Unstoppable domain name (“Unstoppable Domain”) in connection with Customer’s own products and services and (ii) the API that allows Customer’s End Users to participate in identity verification check service provided by a third party provider, that may include Persona Identities Inc. (“Verification Provider”), and allows Customer to obtain certain limited results generated by Verification Provider regarding such End Users through Unstoppable (such services, “Humanity Check Services”).  
  2. HUMANITY CHECK SERVICES
    a) Customer acknowledges that when End Users participate in the identity verification check service provided by Verification Provider, they complete an identity verification through a Verification Provider , and that Verification Provider collects personally-identifiable information about such End User, which may include, but may not be limited to, name, address, date of birth, nationality, a form of government identification, such as a driver’s license or passport, a photograph or live media of the End User, and such other information that may be required by Verification Provider to verify an End User’s identity and that such End User is over the age of eighteen (18) (a (“Humanity Check”).  Customer further acknowledges that Verification Provider will provide Unstoppable with a Humanity Check Result, and that Unstoppable will provide such Humanity Check Result to Customer when an End User opts in to allow such Customer to receive the Humanity Check Result.  A “Humanity Check Result” means the de-identified result of a Humanity Check completed by Verification Provider for a given End User, which does not include any personal information of the End User and only indicates whether or not Verification Provider has concluded an End User is a human being and is over the age of eighteen (18). Customer further acknowledges that Verification Provider does not provide to Unstoppable any information related to an End User other than the Humanity Check Result, and that Unstoppable is unable itself to verify the Humanity Check Result or that an End User properly completed the Humanity Check.  
    b) Customer acknowledges that Verification Provider is a Third-Party and has no affiliation with Unstoppable other than in connection with making available to Customer the Humanity Check Services.  Customer understands and agrees that when End Users access the Humanity Check Services, they are subject to the terms and conditions of Verification Provider when using its services.  Customer agrees to obtain from End Users all consents that may be required under applicable law with respect to an End User’s use of the Humanity Check Services.  
  3. THIRD-PARTY SITES
    a) In connection with the Unstoppable Services, Unstoppable will provide links and access to content on external websites and services, including websites and services provided by Verification Provider, that are not controlled by, or associated with Unstoppable (“Third-Party Sites”).  Unstoppable is not responsible for any of the content or information contained on or collected by Third-Party Sites, and Unstoppable’s linking to such Third-Party Sites, or enabling of services offered by such Third-Party Sites does not mean Unstoppable endorses such sites.  Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer’s or an End User’s access to any Third-Party Site is at its own risk, and Customer, on behalf of itself and its End Users, expressly releases Unstoppable from any liability, loss, or damage of any nature arising from its use of any Third-Party Site.  Any information Customer or its End Users shares with or actions Customer or its End Users takes on Third-Party Sites are governed by the applicable Third-Party Site’s terms of use and privacy policy, which Customer should review carefully.

    c) Unless authorized in writing by an officer of Unstoppable, Customer may not use any Content without Unstoppable’s prior written consent and even if Unstoppable consents, in any manner that is not likely to cause confusion among customers, or in any manner that disparages or discredits Unstoppable or its licensors.   Customer may not sell, reproduce, distribute, copy, duplicate, resell, modify, display, publicly perform, prepare derivative works based on, frame, mirror, repost, or exploit the Content for any commercial purpose, without Unstoppable’s prior written consent.  If Customer violates any of these Terms, Customer’s permission to use the Content will automatically terminate, Customer must immediately destroy Content in Customer’s possession or under Customer’s control and any copies Customer has made and Unstoppable may end Customer’s authorization to use the Unstoppable Services.

  11. GOVERNING LAW
    These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
  12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
    a) Informal Negotiations.  To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either Party, the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration.  Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.
    b) Binding Arbitration. If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration.  CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, CUSTOMER WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.  The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org.  Customer’s arbitration fees and Customer’s share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules.  The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online.   The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons, unless requested by either Party.  The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so.  Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in San Francisco, CA.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in San Francisco, CA, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts.  Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms.

In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Unstoppable Services be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose.  If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

  1. Restrictions.  The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually.  To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) 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.
  2. Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration.  The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief.  If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
  3. MISCELLANEOUS
    a) In agreeing to these Terms, Customer also agrees to Unstoppable’s general Terms of Use (https://unstoppabledomains.com/terms), Privacy Policy (https://unstoppabledomains.com/privacy-policy), and any other agreement Customer may have entered into with Unstoppable.  In the event of any conflict between Unstoppable’s Terms of Use or Privacy Policy and these Terms, these Terms shall govern with respect to use of the Unstoppable Services and Humanity Check Services.  Unstoppable’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. 
    b) These Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Nothing in these Terms shall create or be deemed to create any rights in any person other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and permitted assigns. Customer may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under these Terms without the prior written consent of Unstoppable (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  Unstoppable shall have the right to assign or transfer these Terms and its rights, licenses or obligations hereunder.  Any assignment or attempted assignment of these Terms not permitted by this Section shall be void.
    c) Unstoppable is not responsible nor liable for any delays or failures in performance from any cause beyond its control, including, but not limited to acts of God, changes to law or regulations, embargoes, war, terrorist acts, acts or omissions of third party technology providers, riots, fires, epidemics or pandemics, earthquakes, floods, power blackouts, strikes, weather conditions or acts of hackers, internet service providers or any other third party or acts or omissions of the other party, provided that Unstoppable has previously taken all reasonable steps to prepare for and prevent the effects of a force majeure event and takes all reasonable steps to minimize the effects of the existing force majeure event.
    d) There is no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship created between Customer and Unstoppable as a result of these Terms or use of the Unstoppable Services.  Customer agrees that these Terms will not be construed against Unstoppable by virtue of having drafted it. 
    e) No waiver by Unstoppable of any breach or default by Customer under these Terms shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.  Any waiver by Unstoppable must be in writing signed by Unstoppable.
