USE OF OUR SOFTWARE
Your use of our software is subject to our TERMS; all agreements, including all license agreements and end-user agreements that accompany or are included with the Software; and other terms and conditions that apply (collectively, “EULA Terms”). In the event that software is provided on, or through, the SITE and is not licensed for your use through any EULA Terms, you may still use the software, subject to ALL of the following:
(a) You may use the software for your personal and non-commercial purposes; (b) You may not decompile, reverse-engineer or otherwise attempt to gain access to the software source code or authorize any third-party to; (c) You may not disable or circumvent, or authorize any third-party to disable or circumvent the intended operation of the software, or disclose any such method or means to any third party; (d) You may not modified or alter the software in any way or have a third-party do so; and (e) You may not transfer, sub-license, assign, copy, or redistribute the software or have a third-party do so.
WE USE LOCATION BASED SERVICES TO FIND DISCOUNT NEAR YOU
Our Smartphone applications use Location Based Services. SaveWorks uses your GPS coordinates to find discounts by distance. Those coordinates are sent to our server for the exclusive purpose to look up discounts. SaveWorks does not collect or store your location for any purpose. Using your GPS location is an option. If you choose not to use these services with the application, SaveWorks offers an alternative search function to look up discounts by zip code, area code, by vendor name and by city and state. Either upon installation or managed by the location based services section of your Smartphone, you may turn off these services when using SaveWorks.

DISCLAIMERS OF LIABILITY The SITE provides an interactive online service and does not supply or endorse any product. SaveWorks does not take any part in placing any product in the stream of commerce. SaveWorks is not involved in the sale of any product and therefore bears no liability or responsibility for any sales or use tax or any other federal, state or local tax that may be assessed or assessable to anyone using the services provided by the SITE. SaveWorks does not advertise in any commercial email advertisement. SaveWorks is a provider of an interactive computer service. Therefore, pursuant to 47 USC § 230, SaveWorks and its websites are not publishers or distributors of any information provided by another information content provider and may not be held liable for conveying any information from a third party or for blocking or screening of offensive material or for any action taken to enable or make available the means to restrict access to such material.

Use of the SITE and services are at your own risk. We may, but are not obligated to, terminate user accounts and/or remove CONTENT from the SITE if we determine or suspect that those accounts or that CONTENT violate our TERMS or the applicable agreement with the offending user(s). We take NO responsibility for your exposure to CONTENT on the SITE, whether it violates our content policies or not. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY Because SaveWorks and this SITE provide a service and do not supply any product nor any warranty for any product nor any promise or guarantee that any monetary savings will be realized by utilizing this service, SaveWorks and its directors, officers, owners, employees and agents are not liable for the malfunction or failure of any product nor for any harm caused by any product or from the use of any product nor for any failure to realize any financial saving by purchasing any product. Your sole and exclusive remedy for any dispute with SaveWorks is to terminate your use of our SITE and services. In any jurisdiction in which such a remedy may not be the exclusive remedy despite your agreement thereto, in no event shall our liability, or the liability of our vendors, merchants, agents, officers or affiliated third-parties, for any claim, injury, harm, damages or breach of any obligation be more than the total fees you paid us during the 3 months prior to the disputed actions or events. We, our vendors, merchants, agents, officers or affiliated third-parties shall not be liable for any special, incidental, exemplary, consequential or indirect damages that may arise from your use of, or reliance upon, or inability to use our SITE or services at any time, including but not limited to, any claims for lost profits, work stoppage, computer malfunction or failure, loss of data, or other commercial losses or damages, even if we knew, or should have known, of the potential for such losses or damages. INDEMNITY Through the use of our SITE and/or services, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless SaveWorks, its parent company, directors, officers, owners, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, injuries, damages, obligations, liabilities, losses, costs or debts, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) and claims arising from your use of and access to SaveWorks sites and services; your violation of any third-party rights including, but not limited to, privacy rights, property rights and/or copyrights; your violation of any part of these TERMS; or any claim that any CONTENT submitted by you causes injury to a third-party. This obligation will survive these TERMS and your use of SaveWorks. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS AND RELEASE Although SaveWorks reserves the right to take any action we deem appropriate regarding disputes that you may have involving our customers or vendors and merchants, we have no obligation to monitor disputes, or to take any action at all. You release us from any claims or liability related to any CONTENT posted on the SITE and from any claims related to the conduct of any other customers, merchants or suppliers. California residents agree to waive California Civil Code Section 1542. Residents of other jurisdictions also agree to waive the contents of California Civil Code Section 1542 and any similar provision in their jurisdiction. Section 1542 reads - "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."
USE OF UNSOLICITED IDEAS AND MATERIALS Do not send SaveWorks (or any of our employees) any ideas, suggestions, materials, images or other work in any form without express written solicitation. We do not accept or consider, directly or through any SaveWorks employee or agent, unsolicited ideas of any kind. This includes without limitation, names or technologies, advertising and marketing campaigns, plans or other promotions, ideas or suggestions relating to new or improved products, and enhancements. If you send us unsolicited materials, you understand and agree that: SaveWorks will own, without restriction and free of any obligation to acknowledge or compensate you, the unsolicited material and we may use and redistribute unsolicited materials for any purpose, and that; SaveWorks has no obligation to review any such materials, or to keep any unsolicited materials confidential. ARBITRATION It is our goal to make every reasonable effort to resolve any disagreements that you have with SaveWorks. If those efforts fail, or for any reason are not undertaken, you agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to (1) SaveWorks, (2) this SITE, (3) any service or application provided by this SITE or by SaveWorks, or (4) this agreement, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in Los Angeles County, California, before one (1) arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction and venue in the County of Los Angeles, California. In any such arbitration, the arbitrator shall award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration. There shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis - arbitration can decide only your and/or SaveWorks’ individual claims and the arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of others. If any part of this arbitration provision is judged to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the remainder of this arbitration provision will continue to be in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision did not exist.
GOVERNING LAW The principal place of business of SaveWorks is in Los Angeles County, California. These TERMS will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. No matter where you access or use the SITE from, you agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to this agreement or use of the SITE or involving SaveWorks in any way must be filed and adjudicated only in the federal or state courts located in Los Angeles County, California. You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts over any suit, action, or proceedings arising out of these TERMS. MODIFICATION OF THIS AGREEMENT SaveWorks reserves the right to change or discontinue any part of these TERMS at any time, including wholly. Should any changes we make materially affect your use of the SITE or services, we’ll post such changes directly on the SITE or/and notify you by e-mail at the e-mail address registered with your account.
