We are not responsible for, and do not endorse nor guarantee the opinions, views, advice or recommendations posted or sent by users. We have no obligation to resolve user disputes.

6. Submissions

While we are always happy to hear from you, it is our policy not to accept or consider creative materials, ideas, or suggestions other than those we specifically request. This is to avoid any misunderstandings if unsolicited ideas are similar to those we have developed independently. Therefore, you agree that you will NOT send to us any original creative materials such as screenplays, stories, original artwork, etc. Any communication or material you do transmit to Thasis by electronic mail or otherwise will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary.

Furthermore, Thasis is free to use and shall be deemed to own, any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in any communication you send to the Services for any purpose whatsoever, including, but not limited to, developing, manufacturing and marketing products using such information. The disclosure, submission, or offer of any submissions to Thasis via the Services shall constitute an assignment to Thasis of all worldwide rights, titles, and interests in all copyrights and other intellectual property rights in such submission. Thasis may edit, copy, publish, distribute, translate, and otherwise use in any medium any submission that you forward to Thasis and will own exclusively all such rights, titles, and interest and shall not be limited in any way in its use, commercial or otherwise, of the submission. Thasis is and shall be under no obligation to: (1) maintain any of your or any user’s submissions in confidence; (2) to pay to you or any user any compensation for any submissions; or (3) to respond to any of your or any other user’s submissions.

7. Copyright Infringement Policy (DMCA)

You may not use the Services for any purpose or in any manner that infringes the rights of any third party. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA“) (www.copyright.gov), Thasis has a designated agent for receiving notices of copyright infringement and we follow the notice and take down procedures of the DMCA. We may also terminate the accounts of users whom we deem (in our reasonable discretion) to be repeat infringers.

Procedure.

If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide Thasis’ copyright agent the following information as required by the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the DMCA, 17 U.S.C. § 512: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site; (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material; (d) information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the you; (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. Forward all documents to the following address:

It is often difficult to determine if your intellectual property rights have been violated. We may request additional information before we remove any allegedly infringing material. If a dispute develops as to the correct owner of the rights in question, we reserve the right to remove your content along with that of the alleged infringer pending resolution of the matter.

8. Meetings and Gatherings

Thasis may offer a platform or tools for users to schedule face to face meetings with one or more other users in public settings.  In no way does Thasis endorse, sponsor, approve oversee or control such meetings/gatherings, unless otherwise stated in writing.  Your participation in any meeting/gathering is voluntary and solely at your own risk Thasis does not bear any responsibility for activities that take place at any meetings/gatherings.  Please use good judgment when participating in any activity involving users that takes place outside of the Services.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitations of Liability

YOUR USE OF, AND RELIANCE ON, ANY ADVICE OR INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM OR THROUGH THE SERVICES, INCLUDING FROM OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICES, IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES AND CAUSES OF ACTION EXCEED FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US $50).

THESE DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS DO NOT AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER OR PURPORT TO LIMIT LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER THE LAW IN YOUR USUAL PLACE OF RESIDENCE.

10. Third Party Websites and Content

For your convenience, the Services may provide links to websites of other persons or entities (“Third-Party Websites”). However, such Third-Party Websites are not controlled by Thasis. Your use of Third-Party Websites is at your own risk. The inclusion of a link to a Third-Party Website in the Services does not imply an endorsement by Thasis.

11. Linking Policy

Thasis grants you the revocable permission to link to the Thasis Services provided, however, that your web site, or any Third-Party Websites that link to the Thasis Services: (a) must not imply that Thasis or the Services are endorsing or sponsoring it or its products, unless Thasis has given its prior written consent; (b) must not present false information about, or disparage, tarnish, or otherwise harm, in the sole opinion of Thasis, harm Thasis or its products or services; (c) must not contain content that could be construed as distasteful, offensive or controversial or otherwise objectionable (in the sole opinion of Thasis Inc.); and (d) must be owned and controlled by you or the person or entity placing the link, or otherwise permit you to enable such link subject to these Terms. By linking to the Thasis Services, you agree that you do and will continue to comply with the linking requirements contained in these Terms. By calling or texting this number 1- 850-987-6500, you agree to receive text messages. If you no longer wish to receive text messages, you may opt out at any time by replying “STOP” to the same number. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Terms, Thasis reserves the right to prohibit linking to the Services for any reason, in our sole and absolute discretion, even if the linking complies with the requirements described above.

12. Charges for Thasis Services.

We may charge for access to portions of the Services or to the Services as a whole, and we reserve the right at any time to change the amount we charge for such access or subscriptions that include authorization to access the Services. In such event, we will notify you in advance, and give you an opportunity to subscribe (or unsubscribe) to the Service(s). More information about any such subscriptions can be found on the appropriate locations of the Services. You shall pay all applicable taxes relating to use of the services, and recognize that any fees to third parties that may be required for you to receive the service (such as mobile data plans and text message charges) are not included in the cost of the Services.

13. Dispute Resolution

Arbitration Agreement, Class-Action Waiver, And Jury Waiver

If you pursue a legal claim against Thasis, you agree to arbitration (with limited exceptions).

The exclusive means of resolving any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms (including any alleged breach thereof) or our Services shall be BINDING ARBITRATION, except as modified by our Arbitration Procedures. The one exception to the exclusivity of arbitration is that either party has the right to bring an individual claim against the other in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction, or, if filed in arbitration, the responding party may request that the dispute proceed in small claims court if the party’s claim is within the jurisdiction of the small claims court. If the responding party requests to proceed in small claims court before the appointment of the arbitrator, the arbitration shall be administratively closed, and if requested after the appointment of the arbitrator, the arbitrator shall determine if the dispute should be decided in arbitration or if the arbitration should be administratively closed and decided in small claims court. Whether you choose arbitration or small-claims court, you may not under any circumstances commence or maintain against the Thasis any class action, class arbitration, or other representative action or proceeding.

By using our Services in any manner, you agree to the above arbitration agreement. In doing so, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend any claims between you and the Thasis (except for matters that may be taken to small-claims court). YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER CLASS PROCEEDING. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR, NOT A JUDGE OR JURY, and the arbitrator shall determine all issues regarding the arbitrability of the dispute. You are entitled to a fair hearing before the arbitrator. The arbitrator can grant any relief that a court can, but you should note that arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. For details on the arbitration process, see our Arbitration Procedures.

Any proceeding to enforce this arbitration agreement, including any proceeding to confirm, modify, or vacate an arbitration award, may be commenced in any court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that this arbitration agreement is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against the Thasis (except for small-claims court actions) may be commenced only in the federal or state courts located in Arlington, Virginia. You hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes.

Governing Law

Commonwealth of Virginia law and the Federal Arbitration Act will apply if there is a dispute (except where prohibited by law).

Except where our arbitration agreement is prohibited by law, the laws of Virginia, U.S.A., excluding conflict of laws rules, will apply to any disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement or our Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Arbitration Agreement in this Section 13 shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the choice of Virginia governing law shall not supersede any mandatory consumer protection legislation in such jurisdictions.

Venue

Any claims that are not submitted to arbitration for any reason must be litigated in Arlington, Virginia (except for claims brought in small claims court, or where prohibited by law).

Except for claims that may be properly brought in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction in the county or other jurisdiction in which you reside or in Arlington, Virginia, all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement, to our Services, or to your relationship with Thasis that for whatever reason are not submitted to arbitration will be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts of Arlington, Virginia. You and Thasis consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of courts in Virginia and waive any claim that such courts constitute an inconvenient forum.

14. General

No Waiver. No failure or delay by Thasis in exercising any right, power or privilege under these Terms will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege under these Terms.

Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Terms will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision, all of which will remain in full force and effect.

Paragraph and Section Titles are For Your Convenience. The paragraph or section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

This Is the Entire Agreement. These Terms and any Additional Terms represent the entire understanding of the parties regarding its subject matter, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the parties regarding its subject matter, and may not be amended, altered or waived except in text form by the party to be charged.

You shall not assign your rights or obligations hereunder without Thasis’ prior written consent.
