Terms of Service

This Terms of Service (the “Terms”) describes the rights and responsibilities that apply to your use of Erupt’s website, services, and mobile app (collectively, the “Service”), each owned and operated by Erupt Art Inc. (“Erupt”, “we”, “our” or “us”). Please read the Terms carefully before using the Service. If you don’t agree to the Terms, as well as Erupt’s Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) and Erupt’s Community Guidelines (the “Community Guidelines”), you may not use the Service. If you are entering into the Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to the Terms. If you do not have such authority, you must not accept the Terms or use the Service on behalf of such entity. The Service is only available to you if you have entered the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence and are fully able and competent to enter into, abide by and comply with the Terms.
1. Your Erupt Account. If you create an account on the Service (your “Account”), you are responsible for maintaining the security of your Account and its Content (as defined below), and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Account and any other actions taken on the Service. You must not describe or assign Content to your Account in a misleading or unlawful manner, including in a manner intended to trade on the name or reputation of others, and Erupt may change or remove any description or keyword that it considers inappropriate or unlawful, or otherwise likely to cause Erupt liability. You must immediately notify Erupt of any unauthorized uses of your Account or any other breaches of security. Erupt will not be liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions. For paid Accounts (each, a “Paid Account”), Erupt deems the person under whose name appears on the credit or charge card or other payment method that pays the charges for the Service to be the owner of the Paid Account. If a corporate or other organization’s name appears on the credit or charge card or other payment method, that corporation or organization is deemed to be the owner. If any dispute arises as to who owns or controls a Paid Account, your most recently provided payment method will continue to be charged and you will be responsible to pay for the Service until Erupt receives written confirmation from the Paid Account email address confirming a change in ownership and control of the Paid Account.
2. Fees and Renewals. Pricing for Paid Accounts will be provided at the time of purchase. Unless otherwise set out at the time of purchase or as agreed to by Erupt, fees for a Paid Account will be billed in advance for each year and are non-refundable. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of service or for periods in which your Paid Account remains open but you do not use the Service. We reserve the right to modify our billing rates at any time upon thirty (30) days written notice by posting such fee changes to the Service or through email notification to you. You will be liable to pay such modified billing rates. Subject to your payment of applicable fees for a Paid Account, we will provide the Service to you for the period of time that you have paid for such Service (the “Subscription Period”). At the end of the Subscription Period, your Paid Account subscription will automatically renew for an additional Subscription Period until it is expressly cancelled by you as described in the “Termination” section below. If you purchase any fee-based Service, you agree that our third party payment gateways, such as Stripe and Paypal, may store your credit or charge card or other payment information. You expressly agree that we are authorized to charge you (i) a fee for any applicable Service for which you have subscribed, billed on a basis of the Subscription Period, (ii) any other fees for the Service you may purchase, (iii) any charges for use of the Service in excess of the usage or other limits placed on your use of the Service (and you hereby consent to such charges and agree we are not required to notify you of any such charge in advance) and (iv) any applicable taxes in connection with your use of the Service to the credit or charge card you provide and to reimburse us for all collection costs and interest for any overdue amounts. If the credit or charge card you provide expires and you do not provide new credit or charge card information or cancel your Account, you authorize us to continue billing you and you agree to remain responsible for any uncollected fees. You take full responsibility for all taxes and fees of any nature associated with the Service, including any sales tax related to any purchase or sale of services or goods under the Terms. When purchasing or selling services or goods under the Terms, it is your responsibility to determine whether or not sales taxes apply to a transaction and to collect, report and remit the correct amounts to the appropriate authority.
3. Your Responsibilities. If you operate an Account, comment on a screenshot, post material to the Service, post links on the Service, or otherwise make (or allow any third party to make) material available by means of the Service (any such material, “Content”), you are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from that Content. That is the case regardless of whether the Content in question constitutes text or graphics. By making Content available, you represent and warrant that:

  • the Content is not obscene, libelous or defamatory, hateful or racially or ethnically objectionable, and does not violate the privacy or publicity rights of any third party;
  • your Account is not getting advertised via unwanted electronic messages such as spam links on newsgroups, email lists, other blogs and web sites, and similar unsolicited promotional methods;
  • your Account is not named in a manner that misleads your readers into thinking that you are another person or company. For example, your Account’s URL or name is not the name of a person other than yourself or company other than your own; and
  • you have, in the case of Content that includes computer code, accurately categorized and/or described the type, nature, uses and effects of the materials, whether requested to do so by Erupt or otherwise.
By uploading Content or otherwise providing Content to Erupt, you grant Erupt the right to use (including the right to host, index, cache and format) and display your Content in connection with providing the Service as well as otherwise on the Site and our marketing communications with you and other users and prospective users of the Service, including without limitation on our emails, marketing channels and other promotional materials (subject to the requirements set out in the Privacy Policy). To the extent we use your Content in our marketing communications, unless you expressly permit us to do otherwise, we will always cite you as the owner of such Content. This paragraph will survive the termination or expiry of the Terms. Erupt reserves the right to refuse or remove any Content or terminate or deny access to your use of the Service for any reason whatsoever. Please read the Community Guidelines for rules and advice on what types of Content and uses of the Service are appropriate at Erupt. All Content uploaded are copyright © their respective owners. If you delete Content, Erupt will use reasonable efforts to remove it from the Service, but you acknowledge that caching or references to the Content may not be made immediately unavailable.

If Erupt, in its sole discretion and without notice, considers that there is an immediate security or operational risk to the Service, any of its, your or a third party system, then Erupt may immediately suspend access to or use of the Service. The suspension of use and access is not a breach of the Terms. You acknowledge that the preservation of security, confidentiality and data is paramount. Erupt has no liability to you for suspending the Service under this provision. This section does not apply to Content; however you agree that any ideas, suggestions, concepts, processes or techniques which you provide to Erupt related to the Service or Erupt or its business (“Feedback”) are and will be Erupt’s exclusive property without any compensation or other consideration payable to you by Erupt, and you do so of your own free will and volition. Erupt may or may not, in its sole discretion, use or incorporate the Feedback in whatever form or derivative Erupt may decide into the Service or its business or other products. You hereby assign all rights on a worldwide basis in perpetuity to Erupt in any Feedback and, as applicable, waive any moral rights. For the purposes of the Terms and the Privacy Policy, “personal information” is any information about an identifiable individual, as defined in our Privacy Policy. Erupt retains the right to use or share any Aggregated Data generated by anyone using the Service, including our users, for the purpose of enhancing and providing the Service. “Aggregated Data” means data does not contain personal information and which has been manipulated or combined to provide generalized, anonymous information.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, Erupt will not be liable to you or any third party acting on your behalf in any way with respect to a trial program or your provision of an individual’s personal information to Erupt or through the Service. You further agree that the foregoing limitations will apply with respect to third party liability of any kind. The foregoing limitations will also apply with respect to any damages incurred by reason of any content or services provided on any third party sites or otherwise provided by any third parties other than Erupt and received by you through or advertised on the Service or received by you on any third party sites. You also agree that Erupt will not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as the result of any interactions or dealings with advertisers or as the result of the presence of such advertisers on the Service.

You agree not to settle any matter without the prior written consent of Erupt. Erupt will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such Claims upon becoming aware of it.
14. Miscellaneous. If there is any dispute between you and Erupt about or involving the Terms, the Service, you hereby agree that the dispute will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Except for any claim involving the ownership of intellectual property, all disputes arising out of or in connection with the Terms will be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the rules of the Delaware Dispute Resolution Center. The appointing authority will be the Delaware Dispute Resolution Center. The case will be adjudicated by a single arbitrator and will be administered by the Delaware Dispute Resolution Center in accordance with its rules. The place of arbitration will be Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The language of the arbitration will be English. If any portion of the Terms is deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable by any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, the Terms as a whole will not be deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable, but only that portion of the Terms that is unlawful, void or unenforceable will be stricken from the Terms. You agree that the Terms are specifically enforceable by Erupt through injunctive relief and other equitable remedies without proof of monetary damages. You agree that if Erupt does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in the Terms (or which Erupt has the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of Erupt’s rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to Erupt. The Terms are the entire agreement between us related to the subject matter in the Terms. The Terms replace and supersede any other prior or contemporaneous agreement, representation or discussion, oral or written, and may not be changed except in writing signed by us, regardless of whether or not the parties act under an unsigned “electronic” agreement or rely on such an unsigned agreement.
