4.0 Third Party Software
Use of some third party materials included in or required for operation of the App may be subject to other terms and conditions provided by the third-party licensor. Such other terms and conditions are effective and shall apply solely between You and the named third party licensor or licensor that supplies such third party materials. Licensor is not responsible for such terms and conditions or their performance or non-performance, whether by the named third party licensor or another licensor, or by You.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if software identified as “open source software” or “freeware” is included as third party materials, Your license or rights in such software is not provided by Licensor and instead shall be established directly between You and the third party owner or licensor of that software in accordance with its terms and conditions. Unless otherwise indicated by Licensor, such software is considered to be separate and distinct (in programming, operation and for legal purposes) from the App provided by Licensor, and You may exercise Your rights in such software independent of the App and the terms of this Agreement applicable to the App.
Licensor reserves the right to add to, change or delete its third-party licensors or service providers, and they may update their terms and conditions from time to time. Except as otherwise provided in these updates, such updates shall be effective and automatically incorporated by reference in this Agreement when posted.
5.0 App Updates
Licensor may from time to time in its sole discretion develop and provide App updates, which may include upgrades, bug fixes, patches and other error corrections and/or new features (collectively, including related documentation, "Updates"). Updates may also modify or delete in their entirety certain features and functionality. You agree that Licensor has no obligation to provide any Updates or to continue to provide or enable any particular features or functionality. Based on your Licensed Device settings, when your Licensed Device is connected to the internet either: (i) the App will automatically download and install all available Updates; or (ii) you may receive notice of or be prompted to download and install available Updates.
You shall promptly download and install all Updates and acknowledge and agree that the App or portions thereof may not properly operate should you fail to do so. You further agree that all Updates will be deemed part of the App and be subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement.
6.0 Limited Warranty and Disclaimer
THE APP LICENSED HEREIN IS LICENSED “AS IS” AND NEITHER LICENSOR NOR ITS REPRESENTATIVES OR DISTRIBUTORS MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE APP, ITS USE, OR THE RESULTS OF SUCH USE. ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, PAST OR PRESENT, WHETHER STATUTORY, COMMON-LAW OR FROM A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED BY LICENSOR TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
Without limiting the foregoing, Licensor does not warrant or represent that the operation of the App will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any defect within the App will be corrected.

Unless as expressly agreed in writing by Licensor, no presentation, specimen, oral or written information given by Licensor or any representative of Licensor through the App shall create a warranty or constitute legal, tax, or investment advice.
ANY LIABILITY OF LICENSOR OR ITS AFFILIATES FOR DEFECTS IN THE APP WILL BE LIMITED EXCLUSIVELY TO REPLACEMENT OF YOUR COPY OF THE APP WITH ANOTHER COPY OF THE APP, IF AVAILABLE.
Maintaining Operating System. Licensor is not responsible for the performance or maintenance of the Licensed Device operating systems that You employ. This includes bugs, viruses, spyware and other malware. Your operating system requires occasional security patches, updates, and service packs. You need to ensure that whenever possible the Licensed Device is set to update automatically and that it is receiving and installing updates and other maintenance releases. We also recommend that You install antivirus software where possible.
Third party software and hardware. Licensor is not responsible for other software installed on the Licensed Device. Common examples include other apps; email, office, publishing and accounting software; and antivirus software. We are also not responsible for any hardware. The reliability, security, and warranty of hardware is between You and the hardware manufacturer. You must comply with any applicable third-party terms, such as wireless data service agreement terms, when using the App. Providing support to hardware or software not created by us puts us in a position of being responsible if it fails. We cannot accept this responsibility.
Licensor is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services described in this section or as required under applicable law. You acknowledge that Apple, Samsung, Google, or any other App store or download source has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to the App.

Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential or special damages, or the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations on how long a given warranty may last, so the above limitations may not apply to You. The limitations provided in this Agreement are intended to apply to the fullest extent allowable under applicable law.
You release and waive all claims against the Licensor Parties, and the directors, trustees, officers, shareholders, employees, agents and representatives of each of the foregoing, from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses arising out of Your use of the App. If You are a California resident, You waive any rights You may have under § 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” You agree to release unknown claims and waive all available rights under California Civil Code § 1542 or under any other statute or common law principle of similar effect. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this release covers all such claims regardless of the negligence of the Licensor Parties.

Upon the request of Licensor or its designee, You agree to provide to Licensor promptly upon Licensor's request a certificate that provides such information as Licensor may request regarding Your installation and use of the App and related materials in order to allow Licensor to verify compliance with this Agreement.
You agree to create, retain and provide to Licensor and its auditors accurate written records, system tool outputs, and other system information sufficient to provide auditable verification that Your use of the App and related materials is and has been in compliance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, all of Licensor's applicable licensing and pricing terms, and compliance with Licensor's intellectual property rights. You agree to run scripts and tools requested by Licensor and to report the results thereof to Licensor as part of such verification.
Upon reasonable notice, Licensor or its designee shall be entitled to verify Your compliance with the terms of this Agreement for all environments in which You or anyone acting on Your behalf uses or installs the App or related materials. Each party shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the verification. In such verification, You will give Licensor access to the personnel, resources and facilities of You, Your affiliates and Your contractors, including the right to inspect all copies of the App and related materials in Your or their possession or use. Licensor or its designee may use an independent auditor to assist with such verification, provided Licensor has a written confidentiality agreement in place with such auditor.
Licensor will notify You in writing if any such verification indicates that You, Your affiliates, or Your contractors have used any App or related materials in excess of its authorized use or are otherwise not in compliance with this Agreement. You agree to promptly pay Licensor any charges that Licensor specifies in an invoice for: (a) any such excess use, and (b) any additional charges and other liabilities determined as a result of such verification.
11.0 Miscellaneous
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States without regard to conflict of law principles.
Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement and except for actions for equitable relief, all disputes between the parties in connection with this Agreement will be decided by arbitration pursuant to the Code of Arbitration Procedure of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) in effect at the time of the claim or dispute and in accordance with Title 9 of the United States Code. Notice of the demand for arbitration must be filed in writing with the other party and must be made within a reasonable time after the dispute has arisen. If the amount claimed to be in dispute is equal to or greater than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), then the arbitration will be decided by a panel of three (3) arbitrators selected under the Code of Arbitration Procedure of FINRA. If the amount claimed to be in dispute is less than that amount, then the arbitration will be decided by one (1) arbitrator selected pursuant to the same procedure. Arbitration will be initiated in Boulder, Colorado, United States at a site specified by us. The arbitration will occur within sixty (60) calendar days after the party demanding arbitration delivers the written demand on the other party, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. The arbitrators will award to the prevailing party, if any, as determined by the arbitrators, all of its Costs and Fees. “Costs and Fees” for this purpose means all reasonable pre-award expenses of the arbitration, including the arbitrators’ fees, administrative fees, travel expenses, and out-of-pocket expenses, such as copying, telephone, court costs, witness fees and attorneys’ fees. The award rendered by the arbitrators will be final and specifically enforceable under applicable laws, and judgment may be entered upon it in any court having jurisdiction thereof. No arbitration arising out of or relating to this Agreement may include, by consolidation, joinder or in any other manner, any person or entity not a party to this Agreement. Neither party will appeal the award nor seek review, modification, or vacation of the award in any court or regulatory agency. Each party shall continue to perform its respective obligations during the pendency of any dispute until such time as the dispute is resolved. The foregoing will not prevent a party from instituting formal proceedings earlier to (i) preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors, or (ii) address a claim arising out of the breach of either party’s intellectual property rights under this Agreement. In addition, either party may resort to court action for injunctive relief at any time if the dispute resolution process set forth in this section may permit or cause irreparable injury to such party or any third party claiming against such party, due to delay arising out of the dispute resolution process. Any such legal action or proceeding shall be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in the State of Colorado and You hereby accept, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of such courts.
This Agreement to arbitrate disputes will survive Your receipt of the Service and the termination of this Agreement or any supplemental or related agreement. To the extent there is a conflict between the arbitration provisions in this Agreement and the Sweater Inc. Website Terms of Use, the Terms shall control.
This Agreement may not be altered or amended except by a written document signed by an authorized officer of Licensor.
For Apple users: You acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries are third party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and that, upon Your acceptance of this Agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement against You as a third party beneficiary hereof. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, You may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the App to You and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App.
If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement, or a portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between You and Licensor with respect to the App and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous understandings, representations, statements or agreements, written or oral, regarding the App. Additional terms, conditions, and agreements provided in connection with our delivery of certain optional functionality enabled by the App, if any, or in connection with App services provided by third parties, apply to such services.
