Please read these terms of use carefully ("Terms"). These Terms govern and apply to your access and use of the PopUp mobile app, any other App provided by PopUp, and services provided through the PopUp website (collectively the "Service"), all as provided by PopUp, Inc. ("PopUp" or "us"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound all of the terms and conditions described in these Terms. If you do not agree to all of these terms and conditions, or are not capable of forming a binding agreement with us, you are not permitted to use the Service.
PopUp allows you to create and receive place-based notifications and discover information about places near you through our mobile and web-based apps and the PopUp website (each an "App"). As long as you comply with these Terms, you have the right to download and install a copy of the App to your mobile device, and to access and use the Service, solely for your own personal use. You may not: (i) copy, modify or distribute any App and/or any portion of the Service for any purpose; (ii) transfer, sublicense, lease, lend, rent or otherwise distribute any App and/or any portion of the Service to any third party; (iii) decompile, reverse-engineer, disassemble, or create derivative works of any App and/or any portion of the Service; (iv) make the functionality of any App and/or any portion of the Service available to multiple users through any means; or (v) use any App and/or any portion of the Service in any unlawful manner, for any unlawful purpose, or in any manner inconsistent with these Terms.
The following terms apply to any App accessed through or downloaded from any app store or distribution platform (like the Apple App Store or Google Play) where the App is made available (each an "App Provider"). You acknowledge and agree that:
These Terms are concluded between you and PopUp, and not with the App Provider, and that PopUp (not the App Provider), is solely responsible for the App.
The App Provider has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.
In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify the App Provider, and the App Provider may refund the purchase price for the App to you (if applicable) and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law the App Provider will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of PopUp as set forth in these Terms.
The App Provider is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third party relating to the App or your possession and use of the App, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
In the event of any third party claim that the App or your possession and use of that App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, PopUp will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by these Terms.
The App Provider, and its subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of these Terms as related to your license of the App, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of these Terms, the App Provider will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms as related to your license of the App against you as a third party beneficiary thereof.
You must also comply with all applicable third party terms of service when using the App.
The Service may change from time to time and/or we may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Service (or features within the Service), possibly without prior notice to you. The Service may, at some point, include advertisements, which may be targeted to the content or information on the Service, queries made through the Service, or from other information. The types and extent of advertising on the Service are also subject to change over time, as more fully described in our Privacy Policy . In consideration for providing you the Service, you agree that we and our third party providers and partners may place advertising on the Service or in connection with the display of content or information on the Service.
In order to access and use PopUp, including the Service, you will need to register and create an account (your "Account"). By creating an Account, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving services (including, without limitation, the Service) under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. When creating an Account, you may be required to provide certain personal information about yourself and will establish a username and a password. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information about your Account, and to update your Account information promptly in the event that it changes.
When creating an Account, you are not permitted to:
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Account if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, false or misleading or to reclaim any username that you create through the Service that violates these Terms. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and other Account information, and agree to notify us if any of the foregoing is lost, stolen, or disclosed to an unauthorized third party, or otherwise may have been compromised. You are responsible for all activities that occur under or through the use of your Account, including those that occur without your permission.
You can link your Account to various webmail, social networking, and other online accounts ("Linked Accounts"). You may only link your Account to Linked Accounts that you own and control. We will access and retrieve your account information from these sites on your behalf (in some cases, by using your username, password and/or other Account Information) to make certain information or services available to you through the Service. By linking any Linked Account you expressly authorize us to access your account information and other applicable information from and through such Linked Accounts on your behalf as your agent and permit us to access, use and, in some cases, store your Account information and/or relevant information included or accessible through such Linked Accounts to accomplish the foregoing.
Please refer to our Privacy Policy at http://www.popupapp.co/privacy.html for information on how we collect, use and disclose information from our users.
Our Service allows you and other users to post, link, store, share and otherwise make available certain information, images, videos, text and/or other content ("Content") in the form of popups.

In addition to any other right of termination set forth herein, if you breach any of the terms of these Terms, we have the right to suspend or disable your access to or use of the Service and/or any App included therein.
You understand and agree that the Service (including each App) is provided to you "AS IS" and on an "AS AVAILABLE" basis. Without limiting the foregoing, WE EXPLICITLY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET ENJOYMENT AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. We make no warranty that the Service or any portion thereof (including any App) will meet your requirements or be available on an uninterrupted, secure, or error-free basis.
THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF POPUP AND ITS AFFILIATES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (COLLECTIVELY, "REPRESENTATIVES") TO YOU FROM ALL CAUSES OF ACTION AND UNDER ALL THEORIES OF LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE (INCLUDING ANY APP) AND IN NO EVENT WILL IT EXCEED $50.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the limitations above may not apply to you. YOU AGREE THAT THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS SHALL APPLY TO YOU AND TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to any conflict of laws rules or principles. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in effect and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be replaced by a valid and enforceable provision most closely approximating the intent of the original provision. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and PopUp regarding the Service, and supersede and replace any prior agreements between you and PopUp regarding the Service. We may revise these Terms from time to time, provided that we shall provide a copy of such revised terms at http://www.popupapp.co/terms. By continuing to access or use the Service after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.
