MAVYN END USER TERMS OF SERVICE

Last Updated: July 24, 2023

Welcome to Mavyn! You’re reading our Mavyn End User Terms of Service (“Terms”), an agreement between you and Mavyn Inc. (“MAVYN”), for your use of our services as an End User (as defined below), which are accessible via our website at www.mavyn.com (the “Site”) and mobile app (“App”). To make these Terms easier to read, the Site, App and services we provide are together called “Services”.

ARBITRATION NOTICE: WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS YOU ARE AGREEING (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION) TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND MAVYN THROUGH BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY SECTION 20 “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” BELOW FOR DETAILS REGARDING ARBITRATION (INCLUDING THE PROCEDURE TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION).

You’ll notice that some words appear in quotes in these Terms. They’re called “defined terms,” and we use them so we don’t have to repeat the same language over and over again, and to make sure that the Terms are consistent. We’ve included the defined terms throughout to make the Terms easier for you to read.

1. Agreement to Terms. By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by these Terms, do not use the Services.
2. Changes to the Terms or Services. We might change these Terms from time to time, but we’ll notify you when we make any changes. The changes become effective when the revised Terms are posted (check the date at the top of this page) unless we tell you otherwise. If you continue to use the Services after we’ve told you about any changes, that means that you have accepted the revised Terms. We’re always striving to make the Services better and because they are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our discretion. For example, we might stop providing a feature that our users don’t like or use very often.
3. Privacy Policy. For information about how we collect, use and share your information when you use the Services, please see our Privacy Policy at https://www.mavyn.com/privacy. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy.
4. How Our Services Work.

• (a) Direct-to-Expert Calls. Our Services enable users seeking advice or assistance (each an “End User”) to consult with an expert (an “Expert”). Experts may have expertise in a service category like auto-repairs or information technology support, or have experience in an industry like design or fashion. Some Experts are influencers or creators who may offer advice and guidance related to their areas of interest. Some Experts specialize in helping End Users to answer a question, evaluate a problem, or give advice and recommendations about repairs related to a third-party product or service (“Third-Party Product”). Each Expert has a profile page where you can read about that Expert’s experience and background, view the Expert’s availability, and submit a request to connect with the Expert through the App or by phone for a “Direct-to-Expert Call.” You may view the rate for a Direct-to-Expert Calls before making a request on that Expert’s profile.
• (b) Service Calls. Mavyn also has a network of pre-selected Experts who are designated via the Services to answer requests for assistance in a specific service category. End Users can make a request via our Services to be connected to an available Expert in a specific service category for a “Service Call”. For Services Calls, the End User does not choose the Expert to whom they are connected—you merely indicate the service category in which you require assistance and request to be connected with an Expert for help or input. We refer to Direct-to-Expert Calls and Services Call together as “Calls.”
• (c) Experts Do Not Perform Repairs. During a Call, an Expert may provide basic diagnostic advice or other information in a specified service category, including recommendations on how a certain problem may be fixed or otherwise addressed. The Expert will not perform repairs via the Call—no technical or physical repairs are delivered via the Services.
• (d) Ratings. At the end of a Call, you will have an opportunity to complete a satisfaction survey and rate the Expert. You can view an Expert’s ratings on that Expert’s profile. An Expert’s ratings are based solely on the reviews of End Users like you. Ratings are not an endorsement of, and do not reflect any opinion or evaluation of, Mavyn about an Expert.
• (e) Mavyn Is a Platform. Mavyn is a technology services and platform provider, and our Services are limited to facilitating connections between End Users and Experts. We do not participate in Calls or deliver any assistance, recommendations or other services provided by Experts. In addition, Experts are not Mavyn employees or agents. Mavyn is not responsible for (i) verifying or authenticating an Expert’s credentials, expertise, or background, or (ii) the quality, content, Expert advice, information provided by End Users, or any other conduct, act or omission of an Expert or End User in connection with the Services. You acknowledge that the Services are not designed, intended or authorized to facilitate the use of hazardous materials or engagement in hazardous activities (including without limitation those that could lead to death, personal injury or environmental damage). You will not use the Services to seek input or information for such purposes. By using the Services, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of an Expert will be against that Expert, and you agree not to attempt to impose liability on Mavyn, or seek any legal remedy from Mavyn with respect to such actions or omissions.

1. Artificial Intelligence Content

• (a) Your Content. You may provide input to the Services (“Input”), and receive output generated and returned by the Services based on the Input (“Output”). Input and Output are collectively “Content.” As between the parties and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you own all Input. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Mavyn hereby assigns to you all its right, title and interest in and to Output. This means you can use Content for any purpose, including commercial purposes such as sale or publication, if you comply with these Terms. Mavyn may use Content to provide and maintain the Services, comply with applicable law, and enforce our policies. You are responsible for Content, including for ensuring that it does not violate any applicable law or these Terms.
• (b) Similarity of Content. Due to the nature of machine learning, Output may not be unique across users and the Services may generate the same or similar output for Mavyn or a third party. For example, you may provide input to a model such as “What color is the sky?” and receive output such as “The sky is blue.” Other users may also ask similar questions and receive the same response. Responses that are requested by and generated for other users are not considered your Content.
• (c) Use of Content to Improve Services. We may use Content that you provide to or receive from our Services to help develop and improve our Services.
• (d) Accuracy. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are rapidly evolving fields of study. We are constantly working to improve our Services to make them more accurate, reliable, safe and beneficial. Given the probabilistic nature of machine learning, use of our Services may in some situations result in incorrect Output that does not accurately reflect real people, places, or facts. You should evaluate the accuracy of any Output as appropriate for your use case, including by using human review of the Output.

1.                Mavyn Accounts.
   

• (a) Eligibility. You may only use the Services if you are at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract with Mavyn, and are not barred from using the Services under applicable law.
• (b) Registration and Your Information. You’ll have to create an account to use certain features of the Services (“Account”). You can do this via the Site or through your account with certain third-party social networking services such as Facebook (each, an “SNS Account”). If you choose the SNS Account option we’ll create your Account by extracting from your SNS Account certain personal information such as your name and email address and other personal information that your privacy settings on the SNS Account permit us to access.
• (c) Accuracy of Account Information. It’s important that you provide us with accurate, complete and up-to-date information for your Account and you agree to update such information to keep it accurate, complete and up-to-date. If you don’t, we might have to suspend or terminate your Account. You agree that you won’t disclose your Account password or verification code to anyone and you’ll notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account. You’re responsible for all activities that occur under your Account, whether or not you know about them.

2.                One-Time Payments and Subscriptions.
   

• (a) Payments. Mavyn requires payment of a fee to use some features of our Services. Some features like Direct-to-Expert Calls require a one-time payment (“One-Time Payment”), and others require purchasing a subscription (a “Subscription”). When you make a One-Time Payment, the fee you are charged may vary depending on the time of day, and the availability of Experts. We will inform you of the applicable fee before you make a One-Time Payment. When you make a One-Time Payment or purchase a Subscription (each, a “Transaction”), you expressly authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge you for such Transaction. We may ask you to supply additional information relevant to your Transaction, including your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card and your email and postal addresses for billing and notification (such information, “Payment Information”). You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use all payment method(s) represented by any such Payment Information. When you initiate a Transaction, you authorize us to provide your Payment Information to third parties so we can complete your Transaction and to charge your payment method for the type of Transaction you have selected (plus any applicable taxes and other charges). You may need to provide additional information to verify your identity before completing your Transaction (such information is included within the definition of Payment Information).
• (b) Canceling a One-Time Payment. YOUR PURCHASE IS FINAL AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CANCEL THE PURCHASE AND/OR RECEIVE A REFUND OF YOUR ONE-TIME PAYMENT AT ANY TIME. But if something unexpected happens in the course of completing a Transaction, we reserve the right to cancel your Transaction for any reason; if we cancel your Transaction we’ll refund any payment you have already remitted to us for such Transaction.

1. Promotions and Referral Programs. Mavyn may, at its sole discretion, make available promotions or incentives related to the Services. These promotions may be subject to separate terms and conditions, and Mavyn may set or change the promotion or incentive types, amounts, terms, restrictions, and qualification requirements at Mavyn’s sole discretion. We may also provide you with or allow you to create a referral code or link (a “ Mavyn Code ”). Mavyn Codes may only be distributed for promotional purposes and must be given away free of charge. You may not sell, trade, or barter your Mavyn Code. Mavyn reserves the right to deactivate or invalidate any Mavyn Code at any time in Mavyn’s discretion. Mavyn reserves the right to withhold or deduct credits or benefits obtained through a promotion if Mavyn determines or believes that the redemption of the promotion or receipt of the credit or benefit was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of the applicable promotion terms or these Terms.

Any notices or other communications provided by Mavyn under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services.

Standard phone call and text messaging charges will apply to text messages we send and calls you receive through the platform. (c) Calls Are Not Confidential. You acknowledge and agree that your Calls and any other communications with Experts via the Services are not confidential, and we encourage you to use good judgment when sharing information with an Expert. You will not provide any personal information about yourself or third parties, except your first name. You are solely responsible for any information you choose to share with other users.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 20 “Dispute Resolution,” the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes (defined below) that you and Mavyn are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal courts located in the Northern District of California, and you and Mavyn each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
   

2.            Dispute Resolution.
   

• (a) Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services or Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding . You and Mavyn agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and that you and Mavyn are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.
• (b) Exceptions and Opt-out. As limited exceptions to Section 20(a)20(a) above: (i) you may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights. In addition, you will retain the right to opt out of arbitration entirely and litigate any Dispute if you provide us with written notice of your desire to do so by email at [email protected] within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms.
• (c) Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules . The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “ AAA Rules ”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org . If your claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic or video-conference hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds U.S. $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.
• (d) Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. We’ll pay for all filing, administration and arbitrator fees and expenses if your Dispute is for less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.
• (e) Class Action Waiver. YOU AND MAVYN 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 PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.
• (f) Effect of Changes on Arbitration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 “Changes to Terms or Services” above, if Mavyn changes any of the terms of this Section 20 “Dispute Resolution” after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to [email protected]) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of Mavyn’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Mavyn in accordance with the terms of this Section 20 “Dispute Resolution” as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
• (g) Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 20(e) of these Terms ("Class Action Waiver"), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.

1.            General.
   

• (a) Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Mavyn and you regarding the Services and Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Mavyn and you regarding the Services and Content. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Mavyn’s prior written consent. Mavyn may freely assign these Terms. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. Mavyn may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
• (b) Waiver of Rights. Mavyn’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Mavyn. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
