Effective Date: August 14, 2017

Welcome to www.mytime.com, an internet platform (“Website”) and mobile application (“MyTime Application”) owned and operated by Melian Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MyTime”, “Melian Labs,” “we,” “our”, or “us”). In order to use the MyTime Service (as defined below), you must agree to these Terms of Use (“Terms of Use” or “Agreement”). The Terms of Use contain many legal disclosures that you should read carefully, including terms of sale that apply when you buy something through the Site and other terms that specify permissible uses of the Site. We operate this Website, the MyTime Application, the mobile and touch versions of the Website and any individual sites or merchant-specific, city-specific, or other area-specific sites we have now or in the future. The MyTime Application, the Website, and links contained within or otherwise available through external hyperlinks within our Site or the MyTime Application (the “Microsites”), and the MyTime Scheduler will be collectively referred to as the “Site” or “MyTime Service” in these Terms of Use. By accessing the Site or using the MyTime Service or MyTime Scheduler, you (“you” and “your” shall refer to each Merchant (as defined herein) and end user of the MyTime Service; users of the MyTime Service that are not Merchants are referred to as “End User(s)” or “Users”) agree that you are authorized to accept the terms set forth below on behalf of yourself and your company and agree to these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy (published at http://www.mytime.com/terms/privacy and incorporated here by reference), any Terms and Conditions, and any additional terms applicable to certain programs in which you may elect to participate or with respect to any Microsite, as any of the same may exist from time to time (collectively, the “Terms of Use” or “Agreement”). The term “you” also refers to the person accessing or using the Site or the MyTime Service, or the company or organization on whose behalf that person accesses the Site or the MyTime Service. If you do not agree to be subject to these Terms of Use, do not use the Site. By continuing to use the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use.

 

1. The MyTime Service. The MyTime Service allows merchants and service providers (collectively, “MyTime Merchant(s)” or “Merchant(s)”) to post availability of their services (“Services”) on the Site. Consumers interested in these services may book appointments for the Services or, for certain Merchants, pay for the Service through the Site (“Order(s)”). The Services will be sold at a price that the Merchant determines, and at their discretion. The Services are provided by our various Merchants and not by MyTime. The Services that you book through the Site or the MyTime embeddable booking widget, which may be added to third-party websites, are the responsibility of the Merchant that provides them. MyTime also provides promotion and marketing services on behalf of certain Merchants.

2. Availability of the MyTime Service

You acknowledge that there may be interruptions in service or events that are beyond our control. While we use reasonable efforts to keep the MyTime Service accessible, the MyTime Service may be unavailable from time to time for any reason including, without limitation, routine maintenance. You understand and acknowledge that due to circumstances both within and outside of our control, access to the MyTime Service may be interrupted, suspended or terminated. MyTime retains the right at our sole discretion to deny service, or access to the MyTime Service to anyone or an account, at any time and for any reason.

Your account is non-transferrable and may not be sold, combined or otherwise shared with any other person. If you violate any of these limitations, we may terminate your account and, without limitation, you may forfeit any pending, current or future promotional account credits and any unredeemed gift cards in your account.

You may also opt-out of phone calls by emailing your request to support [at] mytime.com].

(b) Standard text messaging charges applied by your cell phone carrier will apply to text messages we send. You acknowledge that you are not required to consent to receive promotional messages as a condition of using MyTime.

8. Information on the Site. We do not control the information provided by End Users and Merchants. You may find other End Users’ and Merchants’ information to be inaccurate, harmful or offensive. By using the MyTime Service you assume all of the risks associated with the use of the MyTime Service and the Merchants and you agree to accept such risks and agree that MyTime is not responsible for the acts or omissions of any End User or Merchant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right to edit or remove any content placed on the MyTime Service. MyTime does not currently conduct criminal background checks or screenings of its users or Merchants. MyTime does not inquire into the backgrounds of its users or Merchants or attempt to verify the information provided by users or Merchants. MyTime makes no representations or warranties as to the conduct of the users or Merchants of the MyTime Service.

9. Terms of Sale for Orders

9.1 General. By scheduling a Booking, you agree to the terms of the Order and any additional terms or “fine print”, regardless of labeling. Fine print includes, but is not limited to, the expiration date, price, discount, and all limitations. Specific state redemption expiration requirements are solely the responsibility of the Merchant, which apply to all Orders. In the event of a conflict between these Terms of Use and a Booking’s fine print, the Booking’s fine print will control. If you have a question or need a refund pursuant to these Terms of Sale, please contact us by email at support [at] MyTime.com.

9.2 Credit Card Charges. When payment for the Merchant’s Service is accepted through the Site, MyTime will charge the user’s credit card for the cost of services purchased through the MyTime Site after the appointment for the purchased services. MyTime may also put a hold on the user’s credit card for the cost of the services at the time the appointment is booked through the MyTime Site to ensure that payment can be taken at the appropriate time.

9.3 Orders

(a) Orders you pay for through our Site as a MyTime account holder are for certain Services provided by the Merchant identified in the Order. Orders are not redeemable for cash, unless required by law. Unauthorized reproduction, resale, modification or trade of Orders is prohibited. Some Orders are for appointments set at a certain date and time, known as the “Appointment Time”

(b) MyTime is a service provider for the Merchant identified in the Order and the Merchant is the sole issuer of the Order. At times, you may buy a discounted Order (“Discounted Order(s)”) during times specified by a Merchant for a specific Appointment Time or you may purchase full priced Order for products or services at non-discounted times. Discounted Orders can only be used on, and will expire on, the expiration of the specified Appointment Time. You understand and agree that Discounted Orders are not redeemed by their specific Appointment Time for any reason (excluding the cancellation of such Order pursuant to Section 9.7 below) are forfeited and no refund of such Discounted Order will be issued. You must contact the Merchant directly with any questions regarding the expiration of a Discounted Order. Full-priced Orders expire on the date as stated in the confirmation of the Order.

9.4 Bundles and Packages. Merchants may make bundles or packages available in which Users can purchase multiple services or sessions in a single transaction. Merchants may set an expiration date for any bundle or package, and any unused package value is lost as of the expiration date.

9.5 Cancellation and Refund Policy

(a) Purchases may be canceled up to the “Cancellation Period” (the advance notice prior to the scheduled appointment time required to effect an appointment cancellation) prior to the appointment taking place. If you wish to cancel an Appointment Time, you must do so by using the appointment cancellation feature on the Site or by contacting the Merchant directly prior to any Cancellation Period for such Appointment Time. You understand and agree that should you cancel your Appointment Time after the Cancellation Period or if you do not show up for your Appointment Time, you will lose the full value of the Order for the Merchant goods or services to be received.

(b) Merchants set their own cancellation policies, and MyTime must enforce these cancellation policies. It is therefore very important to understand a Merchant’s cancellation policy prior to attempting to cancel an appointment. A full refund may be issued to you upon three events: (a) if you cancel an Appointment Time before the Cancellation Period, (b) if the Merchant cancels your Appointment Time; or (c) if the Merchant refuses to honor any Order at the agreed date and time. If you wish to make a request for a refund, any such request for refund must be made prior to the expiration of the Cancellation Period for the Appointment Time. For each valid refund request, MyTime will refund the amount paid upon request in the original form of payment, or will credit the MyTime account of the purchaser with an equivalent value in MyTime “Credits” for future purchases on the Site. MyTime Credits do not expire.

9.6 Limitation of Liability

(a) Merchant’s Liability. You understand and agree that the Merchant listed as the provider of the products or service specified in the Order is (a) solely responsible for redeeming the Order; (b) fully responsible for all products and services it provides to you, and (c) liable for all damages or losses arising out of the goods or services provided.

(b) MyTime’s Liability. You further acknowledge and agree that MyTime is not responsible for (a) any price adjustments made by a merchant related to an Order, or an appointment time or a merchant product or service, and (b) any claims for injuries, illnesses, damages, liabilities and costs (“Liabilities”) that you may suffer, directly or indirectly, in full or in part, whether related to an Order or any Services.

(c) General Limitation of Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to and hereby waive and release MyTime and its parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates partners, officers, directors, staff members, stockholders and agents from any liabilities arising from or related to (a) any act or omission of a merchant in connection with an Order or the Services, including a merchant’s failure to comply with applicable law and/or failure to abide by the terms of an Order , and/or (b) any Service , any action or inaction by a merchant and/or (c) any indirect, special, punitive, consequential, (including, lost profits or lost data collected through the Services), or incidental damages, whether based on a claim or action of contract, warranty, negligence, strict liability, or other tort, breach of any statutory duty, indemnity or contribution, or otherwise, even if MyTime has been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event will MyTime’s liability arising out of or related to this agreement exceed the amounts paid by you for the Order or five hundred dollars, whichever is less.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MYTIME ASSUMES NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY (I) ERRORS, MISTAKES, OR INACCURACIES OF CONTENT; (II) PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE MYTIME SERVICE; (III) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF OUR SECURE SERVERS AND/OR ANY AND ALL PERSONAL INFORMATION STORED THEREIN; (IV) ANY INTERRUPTION OR CESSATION OF TRANSMISSION TO OR FROM THE MYTIME SERVICE; (V) ANY BUGS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, OR THE LIKE THAT MAY BE TRANSMITTED TO OR THROUGH THE MYTIME SERVICE BY ANY THIRD PARTY; (VI) ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT OR FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF ANY CONTENT POSTED, EMAILED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE MYTIME SERVICE; AND/OR (VII) USER CONTENT OR THE DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE, OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW IN THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.

THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

10. No Liability for Third Party Websites. We do not have control over websites that MyTime may link to.

If those efforts fail, by using the MyTime Service you agree that any claim, dispute, or controversy you may have against MyTime arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with this Agreement, the MyTime Service, or the purchase or sale of any Order(s), shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to the applicable Rules and Procedures established by AAA (“Rules and Procedures”).

13.5 With the exception of subpart (3) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures established by AAA, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein.
