Our collection, handling and use of all information submitted by you on or through any Site or App (including through any “contact us” forms or the like) will be pursuant to and governed by our Privacy Policy as well as the privacy policy, terms of use or service, and other applicable terms of any relevant Platform Customer governing your ability to use the Guest App in connection with your stay in any Property owned or managed by such Platform Customer.
Social Media Features
You acknowledge and agree that your use of any of the third party social networking features that are integrated into any Site or App, including, without limitation, by clicking “like” for Facebook purposes, and/or clicking “follow” for Twitter purposes, subjects you to the terms, conditions and privacy practices and policies of such third parties, and that the results of such use are determined by such third parties, which results may include publication of information regarding your use of such Site or App on the websites and mobile applications of such third parties.

With respect to those Sites and Apps that have a Feature that allows you to link your Account (as defined below) to various guest loyalty, rewards, social networking, and/or other accounts and/or memberships (each, an “External Account”), you may link your Account only to those External Accounts you own or have the legal right to control. By establishing such a link, you authorize us to serve as your agent to access, retrieve and store information from your External Account on your behalf (in some cases, by using your login credentials) and make such information and certain services associated with such External Account available to you through one or more Sites and/or Apps.

Violations of the system or network security of any Site or App may result in civil or criminal liability. We will investigate possible violations of system or network security and may involve, and cooperate with a user’s employer, Internet Service Provider, and/or law enforcement authorities in investigating and/or prosecuting users who are involved in such violations. If you desire to cancel your Account, you must notify us.

Specific Terms for Apps
By downloading any App (whether directly from any Site, from Apple Inc.’s “App Store”, Google Inc.’s “Google Play” store, Amazon.com Inc.’s “Amazon Appstore”, or from any other source; each, a “Download Source”) from or to any device, including, without limitation, any mobile phone, tablet, laptop or other computer, television, portable media player, game console, personal digital assistant, audio component, video component, or wearable device (each, a “Device”), you acknowledge and agree that:
(a) to the extent the legal terms governing your use of any Download Source require you to agree to be bound by any end user license agreement or other terms of use or service that will govern your download and/or use of such App, including, without limitation, Apple Inc.’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (collectively, “Third Party Provided Terms”), such Third Party Provided Terms are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by this reference to the extent such Third Party Provided Terms are not in conflict with any of the terms expressly contained in this Agreement (with any terms that are in conflict being superseded by this Agreement);
(b) This Agreement establishes an agreement between you and DACK only and does not itself bind the source of any Third Party Provided Terms (e.g. Apple, Inc. for its Licensed Application End User License Agreement) which third party will have no responsibility or liability to you for any App, including for any maintenance or support relating to any App, and/or for any product liability, consumer protection, intellectual property infringement, regulatory or other claims relating to any App;
(c) From time to time, Apps may download upgrades, updates and/or additional Features in order to improve, enhance and/or further develop the App and that such download activity may or may not be automatic and without notice to you depending on your Device and App settings;
(d) You will comply with all applicable third party terms of service governing any third party products or services that may be used or accessed in connection with your use of the App (including those of any applicable Platform Customer); and

(ii) Apple, Inc. and its subsidiaries are third party beneficiaries of this Agreement as it relates to your use of the App, and such parties have the right (and have accepted the right) to enforce it against you as a third party beneficiary hereof.
Premium Features
Some Sites and Apps may include certain premium content, Features and/or services that may be accessed only upon payment of a one-time or subscription based fee (collectively, “Premium Features”). Premium Features also may include (or be limited to) the ability to merely access the same content, Features and/or services as may be available without charge, but without advertising. In order to purchase any Premium Features, you must pay all applicable fees and charges identified on the Site or in the App as applicable to your selected purchase and for the duration and frequency associated with any subscription based Premium Feature (collectively, “Premium Charges”). You may not use Premium Features unless you have paid all applicable Premium Charges. DACK reserves the right to change Premium Charges at any time and from time to time by publishing the then current Premium Charges on the relevant Site or updating the relevant App. You authorize DACK and/or any relevant Download Source to charge all applicable Premium Charges to the credit card or other payment method you designated on the relevant Site, in the relevant App or with any relevant Download Source as they become due (including in connection with automatic renewal of any subscription), and agree that DACK, any third party payment processor utilized by DACK for any Site or App, and any applicable Download Source may store all relevant information associated with your selected payment method. Unless expressly stated otherwise on the relevant Site or in the relevant App, all Premium Charges are exclusive of any applicable taxes. You are fully responsible for (i) determining whether any sales, use, excise, and/or any other taxes or fees are assessed by any governmental authority on your use of any Site, App or Premium Features (collectively, “Taxes”), (ii) promptly paying all Taxes (and, at our request, providing us evidence of such payments), and (iii) promptly reimbursing us for any Taxes that we may pay on your behalf (to the extent not collected from you prior to our remittance).
For Premium Features purchased on a subscription basis, your subscription either will renew automatically or must be renewed manually by you, as set forth on the relevant Site, in the relevant App, or at the relevant Download Source. For those subscriptions that must be renewed manually, the Site or App will notify you upon expiration of your subscription and provide you the opportunity to renew your subscription at the then current rate and on the then current terms. Unless and until you take all actions necessary to renew your subscription, you will not have access to the Premium Features governed by that subscription. For those subscriptions that renew automatically, the subscription will renew automatically and continuously on the periodic basis (e.g. monthly or annually) set forth on the relevant Site or in the relevant App corresponding to your particular subscription unless and until you cancel your subscription and/or change your Account settings via the method and in as much time prior to renewal as may be identified on the relevant Site, in the relevant App, and/or by any relevant Download Source, or it is otherwise terminated in accordance with this Agreement. We may provide notice (directly or through the Site or App) of an upcoming renewal, but are not obligated to do so (including if we have provided notice in the past). Therefore, we strongly recommend that you review your renewal settings frequently to make sure they reflect your current preference at all times. ALL PREMIUM CHARGES ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE AND WILL NOT BE PRORATED (VIA CREDITS, REFUNDS OR OTHERWISE) FOR ANY EARLY CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION OF A SUBSCRIPTION. ALL DISPUTES RELATING TO PREMIUM CHARGES MUST BE REPORTED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE WHEN THE RELEVANT PREMIUM CHARGE WAS ASSESSED OR THEY WILL BE DEEMED WAIVED.

You agree that neither DACK nor any Related Parties will, under any circumstances, be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with your use of or reliance on any Third Party Content and/or any products, services, information, content, advertising, or business practices of any Third Party Content provider and/or any linked third-party sites or applications. If you decide to access and use linked third-party websites or applications, you understand, acknowledge, and agree that you do so at your own risk.

If your use of any Site or App results in your need to service, repair or correct equipment or data, you assume the costs to the extent the Law allows. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by Law. We reserve the right to take exclusive control and defense of any claim subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate fully with us in asserting any available defenses.
Modification or Discontinuance
At any time and from time to time, without notice to you, and for any or no reason in its sole and absolute discretion, DACK may modify, suspend or discontinue, in whole or in part and on a temporary or permanent basis, any or all aspects of any one or more Sites or Apps, including, without limitation, any one or more Features. You understand, acknowledge, and agree that DACK will not be liable to you or any third party in connection with or as a result of any such modifications, suspensions, or discontinuances.

DACK controls and operates all Sites and Apps from our offices in Los Angeles, California.
Miscellaneous
DACK’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right.

If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, is found to be invalid or for any reason, unenforceable by any court having competent jurisdiction, (a) such provision will be deemed amended to the least extent possible to render it valid and enforceable in a manner that preserves the original intent of the provision as much as possible, and (b) the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision will not affect the validity and application of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any term of this Agreement or the breach thereof will be effective unless in a writing signed by the party to be charged with such waiver. No waiver of any term of this Agreement or the breach thereof will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term or the breach thereof.

You agree that you will not be entitled to any notice of such modifications, amendments or revised versions (collectively “Amendments”) and waive any rights to the same. Such Amendments will be effective and binding on you as a user of a Site or App immediately upon posting with respect to your use of such Site or App thereafter.
