Acceptance
Welcome to Cozi, Inc.'s Web site. These Terms of Use govern your family's use of www.cozi.com, other properties in the cozi.com domain (such as my.cozi.com, and all others) and co-branded websites (collectively, the "Site"), any Cozi software, including co-branded versions, downloaded from this Site or obtained elsewhere (the "Software"), and the services made available on the Site or through use of the Software (the "Services"). The Site, Software, and Services display advertisements. By using the Services or Software or visiting or browsing the Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms of Use and any modifications that may be made to the Terms of Use from time to time, and agree to allow advertisements to be displayed while you are using the Site, Software and/or Services. In addition, to the extent our Services require you to set up a family account with a password, if you are designated as "Adult 1" in the Cozi account, or are otherwise the person who first registers for a Service, you agree to be responsible for ensuring that all users on your Cozi account comply with these Terms of Use and any modifications that may be made to the Terms of Use from time to time. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, you should not use the Services or Software or visit or browse the Site. These Terms of Use constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Cozi, Inc. ("Cozi," "we," "us," and "our"). Please read them carefully before accessing or using the Site, the Software, or the Services.
Modifications
We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Use at any time and in any manner at our sole discretion, including the right to charge for the Software or Services. Notice of any modification of these Terms of Use will be posted in this section of the Site, and any such modifications will be effective upon the posting of such notice. Your continued use of the Site or the Services constitutes your binding acceptance of such modifications. Please check this section of the Site before using the Site, the Services or the Software to determine whether a change has been made to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to any changes in the Terms of Use as they may occur, please arrange to terminate your registration with the Site immediately and discontinue your use of the Service, Software, and the Site. You agree that we are not liable to you or to any third party for any modification of the Terms of Use.
Registration
By registering for any Service or maintaining an account, you agree that you are at least 18 years old. You may, however, add a user to your account who is younger than 18 years old, but only if you are such user's parent or legal guardian. You agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by any registration form for the Site, Services, or the Software (such information being the "Registration Data"), and you agree to maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, or we have any reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, we may suspend or terminate your account and refuse to offer you any and all current or future use of the Services, the Site, or the Software. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to your computer. You are solely responsible for any activity related to your account. If you suspect any unauthorized use of your account, notify us immediately. You acknowledge and agree that we may preserve user information and may also disclose user information if required to do so by law or if we believe in good faith that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce these Terms of Use; (c) respond to claims that any Content (as defined below in Section 4) violates the rights of third parties; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Cozi, its users, or the public.
You may become a registered user of the Site, Software, and Services at no cost. As a registered user, you will have the ability to participate in some, but perhaps not all, of the features and functionality available at the Site or as part of the Software and Services. In order to access additional features and functionality (including a no-advertisement version of the Site Software and/or Services), you may need to become a premium subscriber to the Site, Software, and Services for a fee. In the event that premium subscriptions are offered to users (each, a "Premium Subscription"), a description of the current Premium Subscription and associated fees will be made available to you at the Site or through the Software. We reserve the right to adjust the monthly fees or terms of our Premium Subscriptions at any time for any reason; provided that once you are a premium subscriber, the fees shall be charged in accordance with your subscription terms, subject to adjustment only at the end of the committed subscription period. The Premium Subscription policies that are made available to you in connection with your decision to become a premium subscriber are deemed part of these Terms of Use and are incorporated by this reference. In order to be able to purchase a Premium Subscription, you must, in addition to the requirements herein, register with us or our designated third-party payment provider with a valid, accepted, credit card or other payment method that we, in our sole discretion, elect to accept as payment.
Payment Options and Authorization; Payment Terms; Cancellations and Refunds; Taxes
Payment Options. Most purchases of Premium Subscriptions through the Site, Software, or Services, or through our designated third party payment provider, will require a valid, accepted, credit card or other payment method that we, or our designated third party payment provider, as applicable, in our or their sole discretion, elect to accept as payment.
Payment Terms. For purchases of Premium Subscriptions through the Site, Software, or Services, you authorize us, or our designated third-party payment providers, to charge the credit card or other accepted payment method you designate in the amount specified in connection with the transaction. If you desire to designate a different form of payment, or if there is a change in your payment information, you must update your user account or your account with our designated third party payment provider, as applicable, to reflect such change. You may experience temporary disruption of your access to the Site, Software, or Service while we are verifying new payment information. If you transmit to us, or one of our designated third-party payment providers, a purchase request, you warrant that your use of the particular credit card or other accepted payment method is authorized and that all information that you submit to us, or our designated third-party payment provider, is true and accurate (including, without limitation, your credit card number, expiration date, and other account information), and you agree to pay all fees you incur.
Cancellations and Refunds. You may cancel your Premium Subscription at any time, and end your Premium benefits immediately. We, or our designated third party payment provider, as applicable, reserve the right to refuse or cancel any purchases or attempted purchases at any time in our sole discretion. Further, we, or our designated third party payment provider, as applicable, may reverse certain transactions if we have a reasonable, good-faith belief that such transactions, alone or together with other transactions, are illicit, fraudulent, abusive, unlawful, or otherwise conducted in bad faith or as part of any form of unfair dealing (which could include such things as cheating, hacking, or other prohibited activity). EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE STATED IN THESE TERMS OF USE OR REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SALES AND PURCHASES ARE FINAL.
Recurring Billing. Most Premium Subscriptions will consist of an initial period, for which there is a one-time charge, followed by recurring period charges as agreed to by you. By entering into these Terms of Use, you acknowledge that your Premium Subscription, if any, has an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation of such Premium Subscription. WE, OR OUR DESIGNATED THIRD PARTY PAYMENT PROVIDER, AS APPLICABLE, MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES (E.G., MONTHLY) WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU TERMINATE YOUR AUTHORIZATION OR CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. TO TERMINATE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, CONTACT OUR DESIGNATED THIRD PARTY PAYMENT PROVIDER, AS APPLICABLE.
Changes in the Amount Authorized. If the amount to be charged to you varies from the amount you previously authorized (other than due to the imposition or change in the amount of Sales Taxes, if any), we, or our designated third party payment provider, as applicable, shall provide notice of the amount to be charged and the date of the charge at least 10 days before the scheduled date of the transaction. You agree that we, or our designated third party payment provider, as applicable, may accumulate charges incurred and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each billing cycle.
Auto-Renewal; Cancellation of Premium Subscriptions. Unless cancelled as described above, your Premium Subscription, if any, will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the Premium Subscription term originally selected by you. You may prevent the renewal of your Premium Subscription at any time during the term of Premium Subscription, including any renewal period, by contacting our designated third party payment provider, as applicable.
Free Trials and Other Promotions. Any free trial or other promotion that provides premium subscriber-level access to the Site, Software, or Service, if any, must be used within the specified time of the free trial or promotion, or if not specified, within six (6) months from the start of the free trial or promotion. At our discretion, we may allow you to continue access to the Site, Software, or Service following the end of the free trial or other promotion, provided that we may change the terms (including whether or not such Site, Software or Services display advertising) and/or fees associated with such access, and at such time, you will be required to elect either to accept such fees or terms or to elect either to accept such fees or terms or your account will be reverted to a Cozi standard account. You may be required to cancel your Premium Subscription before the end of the free trial period or promotional period in order to avoid being charged the then-current, non-promotional Premium Subscription rate and being subject to any new terms. If you cancel prior to the end of the free trial period or promotional period and are inadvertently charged for a Premium Subscription, please contact our designated third party payment provider to have the charges reversed.
Payments Made Through Partners. The payment methods that we elect to accept for purchase may include one or more payment methods offered by a business partner of Cozi (“Partner”), in which case your payment may be made directly to the Partner and not to us. In such cases, the Partner will be responsible for your payment, including cancellations and refunds, and the terms and conditions associated with your payment will be as set forth in the agreement between you and the applicable Partner.
Currency. Unless otherwise stated, all fees and charges are quoted and must be paid in U.S. Dollars. Purchases made in currency other than U.S. Dollars shall be made at the exchange rate designated in your agreement with your credit card or other acceptable payment method provider.
Taxes. Your purchases may be subject to applicable sales tax, use tax, value added tax, or other similar taxes, duties, or tariffs (collectively, “Sales Taxes”). In the event that Sales Taxes apply, we, our designated third party payment provider, or a Partner, as applicable, will collect the required Sales Taxes from you and remit it to the applicable tax authorities. Under most circumstances, the applicability of Sales Taxes will be determined by the residence of the person or entity making the purchase. We will not be responsible for any taxes on net income, or other taxes, duties, or tariffs associated with your acquisition, purchase, or possession of Premium Subscriptions, except for Sales Taxes as described in this section or as required by applicable law.

Portions of the logging features of this Software were licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance with the License. You may obtain a copy of the License here. Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. See the License for the specific language governing permissions and limitations under the License.
Links and Advertising

Governing Law and Arbitration
These Terms of Use are governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Washington as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Washington between Washington residents.

Any such controversy or claim will be arbitrated on an individual basis, and will not be consolidated in any arbitration with any claim or controversy of any other party.

The award of the arbitrator will be final and binding upon the parties without appeal or review except as permitted by Washington law.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
Claims of Copyright Infringement
Cozi respects the intellectual property rights of others, and requires that the people who use the Software, the Site and the Services do the same.

The electronic or physical signature of the owner of the copyright or the person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf;

Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material;
Your name, address, telephone number, and email address;
A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
A statement made under penalty of perjury that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.
If we receive such a claim, we reserve the right to refuse or delete Content as described under these Terms of Use and to terminate a user’s account.
Our designated agent to receive notification of claimed infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act OF 1998 (“DMCA”) is:
Cozi, Inc.
413 Pine Street, Suite 500
Seattle, WA 98101
Attn: Copyright Infringement
After receiving a claim of infringement, we will process and investigate notices of alleged infringement and will take appropriate actions under the DMCA and other applicable intellectual property laws. Upon receipt of notices complying or substantially complying with the DMCA, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to any material claimed to be infringing or claimed to be the subject of infringing activity, and will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to any reference or link to material or activity that is claimed to be infringing. We will take reasonable steps promptly to notify the user that we have removed or disabled access to such material.
Upon receipt of a proper counter notification under the DMCA, we will promptly provide the person who provided the initial notification of claimed infringement with a copy of the counter notification and inform that person that we will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days. Unless our designated agent first receives notice from the person who submitted the initial notification that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the Site or the Services, we will replace the removed material and cease disabling access to it.
You may provide us with a counter notification by providing our copyright agent the following information in writing:
Your physical or electronic signature;
Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;
Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the initial notification of infringement.
