Terms of Service

1. Agreement.

‍The following Terms of Service (the "Terms") constitute a binding agreement between you and Heirloom Media Technologies Inc., dba “Remento” ("Remento," “we,” “our,” and “us”), regarding your use of Remento’s website (the “Website”) and its memory recordation platform (the “Platform”, and collectively with the Website, the “Services”).

By accessing or using the Services in any manner, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of an entity, all references to “you” in these Terms other than in this paragraph refer to the entity and you represent and warrant that you are a duly authorized representative with the authorization to act on behalf of the entity and bind the legal entity to these Terms. You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms.

PLEASE NOTE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, THESE TERMS REQUIRE RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES THROUGH USE OF AN ARBITRATION SERVICE. YOU HEREBY AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE RESOLVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 24 BELOW.

2. Modification to Terms.

Remento reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify these Terms at any time and without prior notice. The date of the last modification to the Terms will be posted at the beginning of these Terms. It is your responsibility to check from time to time for updates. By continuing to access or use the Services, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by any modified Terms.

3. Privacy.

Remento respects your privacy. To learn more about how we handle personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.

4. Our Services.

The Platform preserves the stories of a loved one (the “Storyteller”) by turning the Storyteller’s spoken words (whether written or spoken, “Stories”) into a personalized keepsake book of their Stories (each, a “Memory Book”). Anyone (the “Billing Owner”) can start the process to create a Storyteller’s Memory Book by purchasing a subscription to Remento (the “Subscription”). In addition to managing the Memory Book creation process, the Billing Owner can invite others to collaborate with the Storyteller on the creation of the Memory Book (each, a “Collaborator”, and collectively with the Billing Owner and Storyteller(s), the “Project Members”).

5. Eligibility.

If you are younger than 13, you may not use the Services.  If you are 13 or older but under the age of 18, you may use our Services only under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms. If you are a parent or legal guardian agreeing to these Terms for the benefit of a child who is 13 or older but under the age of 18, you are fully responsible for your child’s use of the Services.

6. Subscriptions. 

1. Each Subscription provides access to a certain set of features for each Storyteller, including with respect to hardcopy Memory Books. See the Website for more information about the benefits that come with a Subscription. 
2. The Billing Owner’s Subscription activates when the Billing Owner instructs Remento to notify the Storyteller of the Subscription. If the Billing Owner is the Storyteller, the Subscription activates when the Billing Owner purchases the Subscription.
3. The Billing Owner may pay for more than one Storyteller to be associated with a single Subscription. If a Storyteller is added to a Subscription, the length of the Subscription will automatically extend for a year from the date the Storyteller is added.
4. Each Subscription includes a credit for a single hardcopy of the Memory Book, although any Project Member may purchase additional copies. 
5. The Subscription initially lasts for one year, after which the Subscription can be renewed on a monthly or annual basis.
6. Subscriptions can be canceled at any time through the Website on the Platform. If a Subscription is canceled, the Stories are still visible to the Project Members and anyone who the Project Members share the Stories with.

7. User Accounts.

‍Storytellers do not need to create an account in order to submit Stories. However, Storytellers must create an account if they want to enjoy other benefits of the Platform, like viewing or editing their recorded Stories, ordering Memory Books, or inviting other Project Members. Billing Owners and Collaborators must also create accounts. You promise to provide us with accurate, complete, and updated registration information about yourself. 

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account, and are fully responsible for any and all activities that occur under your account. You agree to immediately notify Remento of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. Remento will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this section.

If you would like us to terminate your account, you can do so by emailing Remento at support@remento.co. 

You may not transfer your account to anyone else without our prior written permission.

8. Acceptable Use.

‍Remento hereby grants you permission to access and use the Services, provided such use is in compliance with these Terms, and you further specifically agree that your use will adhere to the following restrictions and obligations:

• You may only use the Services for your own personal, non-commercial use and in accordance with these Terms and any codes of conduct provided by Remento. You may not transfer your access to others or allow others to access the Services through your own access.
• You may only use the Services for lawful activity. It is your responsibility to comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
• You may not use the Services in any manner that Remento deems to be harmful, violent, fraudulent, deceptive, explicit, inappropriate, threatening, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.
• You may not submit information or content to the Services that you do not have the right to submit. For example, you may not submit content through the Services that includes the likeness or intellectual property of another person, except to the extent you obtain prior express permission from that person.
• You may not exploit Memory Books or Stories (as recorded through the Platform) in any commercial manner. 
• You may not use the Stories (as recorded through the Platform) in any podcast or other form of monetizable medium.
• You may not copy, rip, or capture any content encountered on the Services. This includes bulk copying or "scraping" any portion of the Services content using a bot or other tool.

9. Payment.

1. Fees. There is no fee to create an account, but Billing Owners must pay for a Subscription in order to commence the process of creating a Memory Book for a Storyteller. As explained further in Section 5, Billing Owners can pay additional fees to add Storytellers to the subscription or to purchase additional hardcopy Memory Books. Shipping fees may apply to any shipment of a hardcopy Memory Book, depending on the shipping destination.

2. 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. Billing Owners may get a full refund for their Subscription if they cancel the Subscription no more than thirty (30) days after (i) the initial activation of the Subscription, or (ii) the renewal of the Subscription for a year.

3. Automatic Renewal of Subscription. THE SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AT THE END OF EACH PAYMENT CYCLE (EITHER MONTHLY OR YEARLY, DEPENDING ON THE DURATION YOU PURCHASE AFTER THE FIRST YEAR) UNTIL CANCELED. THE BILLING OWNER CAN CANCEL A SUBSCRIPTION AT ANY TIME THROUGH THE FAMILY MEMORY HUB ON THE PLATFORM.    

4. Payment and Billing Information. By providing a credit card or other payment method for the payment of fees, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated payment method and that you authorize our third-party payment processor to charge your payment method for the total amount of your fee(s) (including any applicable taxes and other charges) (collectively, a “Transaction”). If the payment method cannot be verified, is invalid, or is otherwise not acceptable, you must resolve any problem we (or our third-party payment processor) encounter before the Transaction is completed. You acknowledge that the amount billed may vary due to promotional offers, changes in the Services, or changes in applicable taxes or other charges, and you authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge your payment method for the corresponding amount. 

5. Pricing and Availability. All prices are shown in U.S. dollars and applicable taxes and other charges, if any, are additional. Prices may be adjusted at any time and for any reason (or no reason) and without providing you prior notice. Products or services are subject to availability, and we reserve the right to cancel all or part of the Services and to discontinue making certain Services available without prior notice. 

10. Content. 

1. Remento Content.

You may be able to import Your Content from certain third party platforms (each, a “Third Party Platform”). Your use of any Third Party Platform is subject to a separate agreement between you and the provider of that Third Party Platform (the “Third Party Provider”).

By way of example, all of the following will survive termination: any limitations on our liability, any terms regarding ownership or intellectual property rights, indemnification, and terms regarding disputes between us. 

16. Indemnification.

‍To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Remento, its affiliates, officers, agents, and employees harmless from and against any and all third-party claims, and any resulting liabilities, damages, losses and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or in any way related to (a) your use of the Services (including any actions taken by a third party using your account), (b) your violation of these Terms, and (c) any dispute between you and one or more other users.

REMENTO AND ITS AFFILIATES DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT ACCESS TO THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR THAT THERE WILL BE NO FAILURES, ERRORS OR OMISSIONS OR LOSS OF TRANSMITTED INFORMATION, OR THAT NO VIRUSES WILL BE TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE SERVICES.

Because some states do not permit disclaimer of implied warranties, you may have additional rights under your local laws.

19. Limitation of Liability.

‍TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TORT, CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) SHALL REMENTO BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON FOR (A) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, ACCURACY OF RESULTS, OR COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, (B) ANY AMOUNT, IN THE AGGREGATE, IN EXCESS OF THE GREATER OF (I) $20 OR (II) THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO REMENTO IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE APPLICABLE CLAIM, OR (C) ANY MATTER BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL.

20. Notices.

Any notices or other communications permitted or required hereunder will be in writing and given by Remento (a) via email (in each case to the address that you provide) or (b) by posting to the Website.

21. No Waiver.

The failure of Remento to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision.

‍You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Remento’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms without such consent will be null and of no effect. Remento may assign or transfer these Terms, at its sole discretion, without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns. Unless a person or entity is explicitly identified as a third party beneficiary to these Terms, these Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person or entity other than the parties.

23. Severability.

If for any reason an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

24. Governing Law; Arbitration.

These Terms are governed by and will be construed under the laws of the state of California, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. The arbitration shall be held in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. ("JAMS") then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. The arbitration shall be held in the US county of your most recent physical address or, if there is no such US county, in Los Angeles, California. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction. For all purposes of these Terms, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles, California. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis: class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted.  YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND REMENTO ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
