App.Cat

APP.CAT® TERMS OF USE

The human version:

1. The Guarantee
We want you to succeed as a business or/and as an app maker. This guarantees our future. That's why our software is extremely easy to use and requires no experience. And that's why our apps look and work really well.

2. The Privacy Stuff
We don't spam you or your customers. We never give your info to anyone unless you misbehave. You won't spam people either!

3. Copyright Made Easy
Your stuff is yours and we don't steal it. And you don't steal our stuff. We don't use your photos, addresses, logos and you don't use our design, and pictures, and trade names.

4. The Money Thing
We're very honest about what you will get before you buy. You have access to all documentation, videos, our team, and other customers.

5. Batteries Included
We want you to stay on budget. That's why there are no hidden costs. What you see is what you get. We charge you exactly what's listed while buying.

6. Free updates so you look better every day
Often we invent additional features and accessories and we give them away for free. This guarantees that your apps and our software remain industry-leading. If you want outdated software or are afraid of change this isn't your place. Our community provides plugins to pimp your app. We sell them on behalf of the inventors to provide a smooth integration process. You don't need plugins, so don't buy them if you don't want them, because they're non-refundable.

7. The Bad Boy Finger
If you behave badly such as hurting others with disrespectful words and pictures, if you steal from others (incl. words and pix), or if you blame others for your own mistakes we say goodbye to you.

8. Sleazebags stay out
Nudity or adult-themed apps are not allowed - and we're not discussing where 'nudity' starts or ends. Get-rich-quick stuff, "Motivational Speaker" hype, and MLM crap is not welcome. If you have to ask whether you qualify, you'll know the answer. Idiotic fundamentalism and general ignorance gets the boot. No exception, no mercy, no refund; Eat your own medicine, snake oil peddler!

9. The 1968 Gene
We insist on socially responsible business. It's how life in general should be: Treat others the way you'd like to be treated yourself. If you're a nice person and act ethical you're in the right place. If you're a self-entitled whiner who yells at a fridge for not being a toaster you're not welcome here.

10. We slap back
Squeaky wheels get rusty around here. If you break our simple rules we suspend your account. This blocks your software and deletes all your apps. On everyone's device. We love you. Be good!

Sincerely,
The App.Cat Crew

To the extent you make any purchases from or host any apps with AppCat, you agree to pay for all purchases and/or subscriptions/hosting fees. You also agree that there is a strict no refund policy for the AppCat software and the Service. You will provide AppCat with valid and updated credit card or approved purchase order information and with complete and accurate billing and contact information. If you provide credit card information to AppCat, you authorize us, or a credit card processor of our choosing, to bill such credit card for Services used, subscribed to, or created using the AppCat Service. This includes, but is not limited to, payments for applications created by you and/or your agents and subscription fees. You also agree that AppCat Gift Cards and any balance of AppCat Credits are non-refundable, have no cash value and may not be redeemed for anything other than AppCat Services. Once purchased they are non-refundable, even if never used. If AppCat, in its sole and absolute discretion, permits you to make payment using a method other than pre-paying with a credit card, AppCat will invoice you at, or within a reasonable period of, the time of the purchase request. All amounts invoiced hereunder shall be due immediately upon receipt of the invoice, unless stated otherwise on said invoice. You also agree that there is no phone support for AppCat, including but not limited to any billing inquiries. All support for AppCat is done through its help (ticketing) system and you agree to use said system for all help inquiries.

11A. Subscription Billing.
Unless otherwise explicitly stated, if you "subscribe" to (rather than buy outright, if available) a Service, then you agree that you will be charged for, and agree to pay for the Service in advance for the initial period, and you may not cancel it once charged for said (and any subsequent) term. If you do not want to be charged again, you must cancel your subscription prior to the expiration of the term of your initial (and any subsequent) subscription, otherwise you agree to pay for an additional term, until you cancel. This includes, but is not limited to, all hosting costs. It is your responsibility to verify that you have properly cancelled prior to the expiration of any term.
(1) Daily term. You agree to pay daily for the Initial Term (as defined below) and any Subsequent Terms (as defined below) until you properly cancel the service. I.e. if you agree to a subscription charge of $1.00/day, and the initial term is 10 days ("Initial Term") then you will be charged $10.00 for the Initial Term, per app created. If you do not cancel before the expiration of the Initial Term, then you will be charged every 18 days ("Subsequent Term") for the amount of $18.00 (If $1.00/day - different if a different price) for the Subsequent (and all other Subsequent) Terms. As stated in Paragraph 11, supra, there are no refunds whatsoever and you agree to continue paying for the Service for all Subsequent Terms for all apps created, until you have properly cancelled. i.e. if you created 4 apps, then you will be charged 4 x $10.00 ($40.00) for the Initial Term for those apps, and then 4 x $18.00 ($72.00) for each Subsequent Term, until properly cancelled. Note that simply emailing customer service and requesting a cancellation is not the proper method of cancellation. For more information on proper cancellation see the following, go to the help system.
(2) Monthly Term. If you subscribe to a monthly service (if available), then you agree that you will be charged for and you agree to pay for, the whole month's subscription charge in advance, and that there is no refund (pro-rated, or in full) of the monthly service charge. If you do not want to be charged again for subsequent months, you must cancel your subscription prior to the expiration of the monthly term, otherwise you agree to pay for an additional month. For more information on proper cancellation see the following, go to the help system.
(3) Annual Term. If you subscribe to an annual Service (if available), then you agree that you will be charged for and you agree to pay for, one year (12 months x the monthly subscription charge or 365 x the daily subscription rate) in advance, and that there is no refund (pro-rated, or in full) of the annualized monthly service charge. If you do not want to be charged again, you must cancel your subscription prior to the expiration the anniversary of your initial subscription, otherwise you agree to pay for an additional year each anniversary.
(4) Payment Plan. If you subscribe to a payment plan for a fixed fee Service, then you agree to make all payments agreed to upon sign up and that we may pursue you for any unpaid payments. There are no refunds for any subscription services whatsoever.
(5) Corporate Digital Agency Solution. If you have opted to license the Digital Agency Solution (current initial price is $4,995.00 - split into 5 monthly payments of $999.00), then you understand that once the initial payment has been completed (i.e. after 5 months), you agree to pay a subscription price of $500.00 per month for all subsequent months thereafter that you maintain the Corporate Digital Agency Solution. Please see the appropriate section of the website for cancellation after the initial price has been paid, if you wish to cancel the service. You are not entitled to a pro-rata refund nor any refund whatsoever if a new month has commenced prior to proper cancellation.

GOVERNING LAW; ARBITRATION

35. This Agreement and the relationship between you and AppCat and shall be will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California and controlling U.S. Federal law, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles or choice of law principles thereof. You and AppCat expressly agree to be subject to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California. Any disputes, actions, claims or causes of action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Website or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California and to arbitration as stated herein. At the request of AppCat, any controversy or claim related to this Agreement ("Claim") may be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U. S. Code) (the "Act"). The Act will apply even though this Agreement provides that it is governed by the laws of California. Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Act, the rules and procedures for the arbitration of financial services disputes of JAMS/Endispute, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company or any successor thereof ("JAMS"), except that discovery in said arbitration shall be limited in scope to the specifics of liability on the Claim, and any discovery related to damages calculations or any financials shall be withheld until after liability has been decided by the arbitrator(s). In the event of any inconsistency between the JAMS rules and this paragraph, the terms of this paragraph shall control. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS and conducted in Los Angeles County, California. All Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; however, if Claims exceed Five Million Dollars, upon the request of AppCat, the Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators. All arbitration hearings shall commence within ninety (90) days of the demand for arbitration and close within ninety (90) days of commencement and the award of the arbitrator(s) shall be issued within thirty (30) days of the close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additional sixty (60) days. The arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and enforced. The arbitrator(s) will have the authority to decide whether any Claim is barred by the statute of limitations and, if so, to dismiss the arbitration on that basis. For purposes of the application of the statute of limitations, the service on JAMS under applicable JAMS rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitrable shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. This paragraph does not limit the right of AppCat to: (i) exercise self-help remedies, such as but not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate judicial or non-judicial foreclosure against any real or personal property collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or (iv) act in a court of law to obtain an interim remedy, such as but not limited to, injunctive relief, writ of possession or appointment of a receiver, or additional or supplementary remedies. In the event of any controversy or dispute (whether or not arbitrated), arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, its interpretation, its performance, or the like, the prevailing party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, court costs and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses attributable to the prosecution or defense of that controversy or dispute.
