TERMS

Effective: May 5, 2020

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you (“you,” “your”) and The Rise of Privacy Tech, a PIX LLC venture (“TROPT,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms govern your use of our services, including mobile applications, websites, memberships, subscriptions, and other services (collectively, the “Services”). If you are using the Services on behalf of a business, that business accepts these terms. By using any of the Services, you agree to these Terms and any policies referenced within (“Policies”), including terms that limit our liability (see Limitations of Liability and Damages) and require individual arbitration for any potential legal dispute (see Binding Individual Arbitration).

Privacy Statement

You acknowledge that you have reviewed and agree to our Privacy Statement, which explains how we collect, use, and generally process the personal data you provide to us.

Revisions, Disclosures and Notices

We may amend the Terms, any Additional Terms, or our Policies, at any time with notice that we deem to be reasonable in the circumstances, by posting the revised version on our website or communicating it to you through the Services (each a “Revised Version”). The Revised Version will be effective as of the time it is posted, but will not apply retroactively. Your continued use of the Services after the posting of a Revised Version constitutes your acceptance of such Revised Version. Any Dispute that arose before the changes will be governed by the Terms, Additional Terms or Policies in place when the Dispute arose.

You agree to our E-Sign Consent. We may provide disclosures and notices required by law and other information to you electronically, by posting it on our website, pushing notifications through the Services, or by emailing it to the email address you have provided us. Electronic disclosures and notices have the same meaning and effect as if we had provided you with paper copies. Such disclosures and notices are considered received by you within twenty-four (24) hours of the time posted to our website, or within twenty-four (24) hours of the time emailed to you unless we receive notice that the email was not delivered. If you wish to withdraw your consent to receiving electronic communications, contact privacy@riseofprivacytech.com.

Notice

You are responsible for providing TROPT with your most current email address. In the event that the last email address you provided to TROPT is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering you notices required/permitted under these Terms, our dispatch of the email containing such notice will constitute effective notice. You may give notice to TROPT at the following address: legal@riseofprivacytech.com.

Other Provisions

These Terms, and any applicable Additional Terms or Policies, are a complete statement of the agreement between you and TROPT regarding the Services. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any other TROPT agreement or Policy, these Terms will prevail and control the subject matter of such conflict. If any provision of these Terms or any Additional Term is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, then it will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. These Terms do not limit any rights that we may have under trade secret, copyright, patent, or other laws. No waiver of any term of these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term.
