Terms of Service

Thank you for using our products and services. The Services (defined below) are provided by Segmanta, Inc. This is a legal agreement between you and Segmanta, Inc., applicable to your use of the Segmanta Services.

Let's start by providing a few definitions that should be helpful in understanding this agreement. Throughout this document, when we say:

  • "Agreement", we mean these Terms of Use.
  • "Content", we mean any information, data, text, creative, video, audio, photographs, images, illustrations, animations, logos, software, scripts, executable files, graphics, and interactive features, any of which may be submitted to, generated, provided, or otherwise made accessible on or through the Services.
  • "Segmanta", "we", or "us", we mean Segmanta, Inc., collectively with its agents, consultants, employees, officers, and directors.
  • "Services", we mean the Site along with all the other domains, products, applications, services, and Content provided by Segmanta, Inc. under the Segmanta brand name.
  • "Site", we mean the Segmanta.com website.

Use of the Segmanta Services

1. Eligibility

In order to use the Services, you must:

  1. be at least thirteen (13) years old;
  2. complete the registration process;
  3. agree to these Terms of Use; and
  4. provide true, complete, and up-to-date contact information.

By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet all the requirements listed above, and that you won't use the Services in a way that violates any laws or regulations.

We may refuse Services, suspend or close your account, and change eligibility requirements at any time.

2. Term

The "Term" begins when you sign up for the Services and continues until your account is terminated. During the Term, you are considered a "Member". Clicking the user agreement button and entering your username means that you've officially "signed" the Agreement. If you sign up for the Services on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to accept this Agreement on the entity's behalf.

3. Termination

3.1 Termination by You

If you choose to terminate your account in the middle of a billing cycle, you will not receive a refund for any period of time you did not use in that billing cycle unless you are terminating the Agreement for our breach and have so notified us in writing.

3.2 Termination by Us

We may terminate or suspend providing the Services to you if you fail to comply with these Terms of Use, or if you use the Services in a way that creates undue risk to us or disrupts others’ use of the Services. Segmanta has no obligation to retain your Content upon termination of the applicable Service.

4. Plans and Payments

4.1 Payment for Services

You agree to pay Segmanta, Inc. any fees for Services you purchase or use, in accordance with the pricing and payment terms presented to you for that Service. Where applicable, you will be charged using the payment method you select. Fees paid by you are non- refundable, except as provided in this Agreement or when required by law.

4.2 Plans

We will offer 3 types of paid plans: monthly, annual, and 2-year plans.

The Service is billed in advance on a recurring (auto-renewing) basis and is non-refundable. There are no refunds or credits for partial periods of service, downgrade refunds, or refunds for periods unused. If any part of a billing period is included in the Term, then payment is due for the full billing period. Payments are due for any billing period on the same date, or the closest date in that billing period, to the day you signed up for the Services and made your first payment. On the last day of your billing period, your payment method will automatically be charged for an additional billing period unless you downgrade your account to a Free Trial prior to that date by changing your plan in the account settings.

4.3 Payment Method

As long as you're a Member or have an outstanding balance with us, you'll provide us with valid credit card information and authorize us to charge the fees (every month, every year, or every 2 years) against that credit card. You'll update expired or incorrect credit card information as needed. Anyone using a credit card represents and warrants that he or she is authorized to use that credit card, and that any and all fees may be billed to that credit card and won't be rejected. If, for some reason, we're unable to process your credit card to pay for Services, we'll try to contact you by email and suspend your account until your payment can be processed. If payment cannot be processed within 7 days of the first day of the new billing period, your account may be restricted until payment is received.

4.4 Fee Changes

We may change our fees at any time, provided that we will notify you in advance of any change affecting a plan you are already enrolled in and new rates will only apply to a new period.

4.5 Taxes

You are solely responsible for any and all taxes associated with the sale of the Services, including any related penalties or interest. Payments for Services are not reduced to account for such taxes.

5. Changes to this Agreement

We may make changes to this Agreement by posting revised Terms of Use on our Site and/or by sending an email to the last email address you gave us. Unless you terminate your account within ten (10) days following publication of the new Agreement, the new Agreement will go into effect and apply to any continued or new use of our Services. We may change the Site, the Services, or any features of the Services at any time.

6. Password and Account Access

We don't have access to your current password, and for security reasons, we may only reset your password. You're responsible for keeping your account name and password confidential and for any actions taken using your account, whether or not you authorized the use. You'll immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your accounts. We're not responsible for any losses due to stolen or hacked passwords.

24. Entire Agreement

25. Choice of Law

The laws of California, USA, excluding California's conflict of laws rules, will apply to any and all disputes arising out or relating to the Services or this Agreement (“Disputes”).

26. Binding Individual Arbitration

You and Segmanta, Inc. each agree to exclusively arbitrate any and all Disputes. YOU AND SEGMANTA, INC. AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE AGAINST THE OTHER MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU ARE FOREGOING A JURY TRIAL AND WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST SEGMANTA, INC. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced (but in no case shall there be a class arbitration). All Disputes shall be resolved finally and exclusively by binding individual arbitration with a single arbitrator administered by the American Arbitration Association (www.adr.org) or JAMS (www.jamsadr.org) according to this provision and the applicable arbitration rules for that forum. Consumer claimants (individuals whose use of the Services is intended for personal, family, or household use) may elect to pursue their claims in their local small-claims court rather than through arbitration. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, fully applies. If you are a consumer bringing a claim relating to personal, household, or family use, any arbitration hearing will occur within the county or parish where you reside. Otherwise, any arbitration hearing will occur in San Francisco, California, or another mutually agreeable location. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. For any Dispute, Segmanta, Inc. will pay all the arbitration fees. If you prevail on any claim for which you are legally entitled to attorney’s fees, you may recover those fees from the arbitrator. For any claim where you are seeking relief, Segmanta, Inc. will not seek to have you pay its attorney’s fees, even if fees might otherwise be awarded, unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous. For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to you and Segmanta, Inc. also include respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors, successors and assigns as well as authorized users or beneficiaries of Segmanta, Inc. Services. Subject to and without waiver of the arbitration provisions above, you agree that any judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions in consumer cases) will be brought in and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state courts in the City and County of San Francisco, California, or federal court for the Northern District of California.

Congratulations. You have reached the end!
