Hello, and welcome. Please read our Terms and Conditions of Use (“Terms”) and Privacy Policy carefully because they affect your legal rights, including an agreement to resolve any disputes that may arise between us by arbitration on an individual basis instead of by class actions or jury trials.

1 Introduction

By signing up or otherwise using the MaintAid service, websites, and software applications (together, the “MaintAid service” or “Service”), you are entering into a binding contract with Virbius AB (“Virbius”, “we”, “us”). The MaintAid service includes social and interactive features.

Your agreement with us includes these Terms and Conditions of Use (“Terms”) and our Privacy Policy. (The Terms, Privacy Policy, and any additional terms that you agree to, as discussed in the Entire Agreement section, are referred to together as the “Agreements”.) If you wish to review the terms of the Agreements, the effective version of the Agreements can be found on Virbius’ website. You acknowledge that you have read and understood the Agreements, accept these Agreements, and agree to be bound by them. If you don’t agree with (or cannot comply with) the Agreements, then you may not use the MaintAid service.

Please read the Agreements carefully. They cover important information about MaintAid services provided to you and any charges, taxes, and fees. The Agreements include information about future changes to the Agreements, export controls, automatic renewals, limitations of liability, privacy information, a class action waiver, and resolution of disputes by arbitration instead of in court.

In order to use the MaintAid service you need to have the power to enter a binding contract with us and not be barred from doing so under any applicable laws.

2 Changes to the Agreements

Occasionally we may, in our discretion, make changes to the Agreements. When we make material changes to the Agreements, we’ll provide you with prominent notice as appropriate under the circumstances, e.g., by displaying a prominent notice within the Service or by sending you an email. In some cases, we will notify you in advance, and your continued use of the Service after the changes have been made will constitute your acceptance of the changes. Please therefore make sure you read any such notice carefully. If you do not wish to continue using the Service under the new version of the Agreements, you may terminate the Agreements by contacting us through the Customer Service contact form.

3 Using MaintAid

Here’s some information about the ways you can use MaintAid.

3.1 Our Services & Paid Subscriptions

Virbius provides a service where you can store information about your house, the equipment in your house and the maintenance actions needed for that equipment. Certain MaintAid services are provided to you free-of-charge. Other MaintAid services require payment before you can access them. The MaintAid services that may be accessed after payment are currently referred to as the “Premium Service” or the “Paid Subscriptions”. The MaintAid service that does not require payment is currently referred to as the “Free Service”. You can learn more about our services by visiting our website.

4 Rights we grant you

The MaintAid service is the property of Virbius or Virbius’ licensors. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to make use of the MaintAid service (the “License”). This License shall remain in effect until and unless terminated by you or Virbius. You promise and agree that you will not redistribute or transfer the MaintAid service.

The Virbius software applications are licensed, not sold, to you, and Virbius and its licensors retain ownership of all copies of the Virbius software applications even after installation on your personal computers, mobile handsets, tablets, and/or other relevant devices (“Devices”).

All Virbius’ trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, domain names, and any other features of the Virbius, Emeriel Studios and MaintAid brands (“Virbius Brand Features”) are the sole property of Virbius or its licensors. The Agreements do not grant you any rights to use any Virbius Brand Features whether for commercial or non-commercial use.

You agree to not use the MaintAid service or any part thereof in any manner not expressly permitted by the Agreements. Except for the rights expressly granted to you in these Agreements, Virbius grants no right, title, or interest to you in the MaintAid service.

Third party software (for example, open source software libraries) included in the MaintAid service are licensed to you either under the Agreements or under the relevant third party software library’s license terms as published on our website.

5 Third Party Applications

The MaintAid service is integrated with third party applications, websites, and services (“Third Party Applications”) to make available services to you. These Third Party Applications may have their own terms and conditions of use and privacy policies and your use of these Third Party Applications will be governed by and subject to such terms and conditions and privacy policies. You understand and agree that Virbius does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for the behavior, features, or content of any Third Party Application or for any transaction you may enter into with the provider of any such Third Party Applications.

6 User-Generated Content

MaintAid users may create content in the Service (which may include, for example, text, web links and/or other types of content) (“User Content”). For the avoidance of doubt, “User Content” includes any such content that you as a user manage, for example houses, equipment, actions and links, in the MaintAid service.

You promise that, with respect to any User Content you post in the MaintAid service, (1) you have the right to post such User Content, and (2) such User Content, or its use by Virbius as contemplated by the Agreements, does not violate the Agreements, applicable law, or the intellectual property (including without limitation copyright), publicity, personality, or other rights of others or imply any affiliation with or endorsement of you or your User Content by Virbius or any entity or individual without express written consent from such individual or entity.

Virbius may, but has no obligation to, monitor, review, or edit User Content. In all cases, Virbius reserves the right to remove or disable access to any User Content for any or no reason, including but not limited to, User Content that, in Virbius’ sole discretion, violates the Agreements. Virbius may take these actions without prior notification to you or any third party. Removal or disabling of access to User Content shall be at our sole discretion, and we do not promise to remove or disable access to any specific User Content.

You are solely responsible for all User Content that you post. Virbius is not responsible for User Content nor does it endorse any opinion contained in any User Content. YOU AGREE THAT IF ANYONE BRINGS A CLAIM AGAINST VIRBIUS RELATED TO USER CONTENT THAT YOU POST, THEN, TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER LOCAL LAW, YOU WILL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD VIRBIUS HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND EXPENSES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEY FEES AND COSTS) ARISING OUT OF SUCH CLAIM.

7 Rights you grant us

If you provide feedback, ideas or suggestions to Virbius in connection with the MaintAid service (“Feedback”), you acknowledge that the Feedback is not confidential, and you authorize Virbius to use that Feedback without restriction and without payment to you. Feedback is considered a type of User Content.

Other than as set out in this section, the Agreements are not intended to grant rights to anyone except you and Virbius, and in no event shall the Agreements create any third party beneficiary rights. Furthermore, the rights to terminate, rescind, or agree to any variation, waiver, or settlement of the Agreements are not subject to the consent of any other person.

If you have downloaded the App from the Apple, Inc.

18 Entire Agreement

Other than as stated in this section or as explicitly agreed upon in writing between you and Virbius, the Agreements constitute all the terms and conditions agreed upon between you and Virbius and supersede any prior agreements in relation to the subject matter of these Agreements, whether written or oral.

Please note, however, that other aspects of your use of the MaintAid service may be governed by additional agreements. When you are presented with an offer for such aspects of your use, you will be presented with any related additional agreement, and you may have an opportunity to agree to additional terms. To the extent that there is any irreconcilable conflict between any additional terms and these Terms, the additional terms shall prevail.

19 Severability and waiver

Unless as otherwise stated in the Agreements, should any provision of the Agreements be held invalid or unenforceable for any reason or to any extent, such invalidity or enforceability shall not in any manner affect or render invalid or unenforceable the remaining provisions of the Agreements, and the application of that provision shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law.

Any failure by Virbius or any third party beneficiary to enforce the Agreements or any provision thereof shall not waive Virbius’ or the applicable third party beneficiary’s right to do so.

20 Assignment

Virbius may assign the Agreements or any part of them, and Virbius may delegate any of its obligations under the Agreements. You may not assign the Agreements or any part of them, nor transfer or sub-license your rights under the Agreements, to any third party.

21 Indemnification

22 Choice of law, mandatory arbitration and venue

22.1 Governing Law / Jurisdiction

The Agreements (and any non-contractual disputes/claims arising out of or in connection with them) are subject to the laws of Sweden, without regard to choice or conflicts of law principles.

Further, you and Virbius agree to the jurisdiction of Swedish courts to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy that relates to or arises in connection with the Agreements (and any non-contractual disputes/claims relating to or arising in connection with them) and is not subject to mandatory arbitration under Section 22.2.1.

Virbius does not accept any codes of conduct as mandatory in connection with the services provided under this agreement.

22.2 ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

22.2.1 Dispute resolution and arbitration

You and Virbius agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Virbius arising in connection with or relating in any way to these Agreements or to your relationship with Virbius as a user of the Service (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of the Agreements) will be determined by mandatory binding individual (not class) arbitration. You and Virbius further agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. There may be more limited discovery than in court. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney fees), except that the arbitrator may not award any relief, including declaratory or injunctive relief, benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. This arbitration provision will survive termination of the Agreements.

22.2.2 Exceptions

Notwithstanding the clause above (24.2.1), you and Virbius both agree that nothing in this Arbitration Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights, at any time, to (1) bring an individual action in a U.S. small claims court or (2) bring an individual action seeking only temporary or preliminary individualized injunctive relief in a court of law, pending a final ruling from the arbitrator. In addition, this Arbitration Agreement doesn’t stop you or us from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf (or vice versa).

22.2.3 No Class Or Representative Proceedings: Class Action Waiver

YOU AND VIRBIUS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both you and Virbius agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

22.2.4 Arbitration rules

Either you or we may start arbitration proceedings. Any arbitration between you and Virbius will take place under the rules of the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (“SCC”) then in force (the “SCC Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The SCC Rules, as well as instructions on how to file an arbitration proceeding, appear at http://sccinstitute.com/dispute-resolution/rules, or you may call the SCC at +46 8 555 100 00. Virbius can also help put you in touch with the SCC.

22.2.5 Notice; Process

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail, Federal Express, UPS, or Express Mail (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). Virbius’ address for Notice is: Virbius AB, Björkstigen 6, SE-178 51 Ekerö, Sweden. The Notice must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Virbius may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Virbius shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. All documents and information disclosed in the course of the arbitration shall be kept strictly confidential by the recipient and shall not be used by the recipient for any purpose other than for purposes of the arbitration or the enforcement of the arbitrator’s decision and award and shall not be disclosed except in confidence to persons who have a need to know for such purposes or as required by applicable law.

22.2.6 Enforceability

If this Arbitration Agreement is invalidated in whole or in part, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 24.1 shall govern any claim in court arising out of or related to the Agreements.
