Zette Terms of Service

Effective Date: June 10, 2022

Hello, and welcome to Zette!

To try to make this legal agreement easier to read, we use capitalized terms throughout these Zette Terms of Service – they’re either defined below or defined in our “Privacy Policy”. To start, even though our legal name is OffTopic, Inc. (d/b/a Zette), we call ourselves “Zette” or “we”, and we call you, well, “you”. We also call these Zette Terms of Service “Terms”.

Zette operates a business that – through our Zette Extension defined below – enables users to “unlock” articles and other content on digital properties (for example, a news article that would otherwise be kept behind the paywall of a publisher’s website) so that users can access, read, and otherwise consume such articles and content. We call such articles and content of our publisher clients “Publisher Content”, and we call such publisher clients our “Publishers”.

Before you use (i) our Zette browser extension and other (including application-based) extension(s) and associated Zette technology (we call such extensions and technology, together, “Zette Extension”), (ii) any of our other products or services, and/or (iii) our website (www.zette.com) or any of our other digital properties (we call such website and digital properties, together, “Site”), please read not only these Terms, but also our Privacy Policy. In these Terms, we call our Zette Extension, our other products and services, and our Site, individually and collectively, our “Services”. Certain Zette Services and features – which we call “Subscription Services” – require a “Subscription” and are subject to Subscription fees/charges, while other Zette Services are made available without charge.

These Terms represent a legal agreement between you and us, govern the use of our Services, and are binding on you as a user of our Services.  By using our Services, you agree that: (a) your such use is and will be subject to these Terms; and (b) you will comply with and be bound by these Terms.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY – THESE TERMS SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING RIGHTS TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS.  AMONG OTHER THINGS, SECTION 5 OF THESE TERMS PROVIDES THAT, IN THE EVENT YOU HAVE A CLAIM AGAINST OR DISPUTE WITH ZETTE: YOU WILL FIRST REACH OUT TO US AND GIVE US 60 DAYS TO TRY TO WORK IT OUT; IF YOU AND WE CAN’T WORK IT OUT IN THAT TIME, SUCH DISPUTE MUST BE SETTLED BY AN ARBITRATOR; AND YOU CAN’T MAKE OR JOIN A “CLASS ACTION” CLAIM.  IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO AGREE TO THESE TERMS, PLEASE DO NOT USE OUR SERVICES.

      2. WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY MODIFICATION, SUSPENSION, OR DISCONTINUANCE OF OUR SERVICES OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY PUBLISHER CONTENT (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE CONTENTS, OR FOR ANY UNAVAILABILITY OR OTHER DISCONTINUANCE, OF ANY PUBLISHER CONTENT) OFFERED THROUGH OUR SERVICES.
      3. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR LIMITATIONS ON APPLICABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS OF A CONSUMER, SO ONE OR MORE OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
    1. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, RULE, OR REGULATION, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY OR TYPE OF CLAIM (WHETHER CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE):
      1. IN NO EVENT WILL ZETTE BE LIABLE FOR PERSONAL INJURY, FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUES, OPPORTUNITY, INFORMATION, CONTENT, OR DATA, FOR INTERRUPTION OF SERVICE, OR FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER UNDER, ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR OUR SERVICES (INCLUDING YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE OUR ZETTE EXTENSION OR ACCESS ANY PUBLISHER CONTENT), HOWEVER CAUSED, EVEN IF ZETTE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; AND

    1. Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without regard to its conflict of law rules.  These Terms will not be governed by the United Nations Convention of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is hereby expressly excluded.  These Terms will not limit any consumer protection rights that you may have under the mandatory laws of your jurisdiction of residence.
    1. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration.
      1. If you have a claim, cause of action, or dispute, please contact us first, so that you and we can try to resolve the matter.  You agree to give us 60 days to try to resolve the dispute before requesting arbitration or filing a Small Claim (as defined in Section 5(d)(ii) below).
      2. In case of any disputes between us that cannot be resolved through informal discussions, you and we hereby agree that, subject to the provisions of this Section 5(d), any and all claims (including tort claims), causes of action, and/or disputes under, arising out of, or relating to these Terms (each, a “Claim”) shall be settled by binding arbitration (which is generally more informal than a lawsuit before a judge or jury).  Such arbitration shall be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by, and subject to, these Terms (such rules, as so modified, “AAA Rules”); provided, however, that: (A) Claims arising out of or relating to your violations of Zette’s intellectual property rights, including copyright infringement, patent infringement, trademark infringement, or efforts to interfere with our Services in unauthorized ways (each, an “IP Claim”) shall not be subject to such obligation for settlement by binding arbitration; and (B) either you or we may assert an individual action in small claims court for Claims that are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction (each, a “Small Claim”) in lieu of arbitration.  The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be non-appealable and may be entered in, and shall be enforceable in, any court of competent jurisdiction.
      3. The arbitration shall take place in the County and State of New York; provided that you and we may participate in the arbitration by phone, by video, or via document submission to the fullest extent allowable by the arbitrator.  Arbitration of any Claim(s) shall be subject to the AAA Rules, and shall be administered by the AAA.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, rules, and regulations: (A) any evidentiary submission(s) made in arbitration shall be maintained as confidential in the absence of good cause for its disclosure; and (B) you and we agree not to disclose the contents of the arbitrator’s decision(s) to any third party (except as required by law, rule, or regulation, or for the purposes of enforcement or appeal of the arbitration award).
      4. Each party will bear its own costs of arbitration unless the arbitrator directs that bearing such costs would be an undue burden, and in that event, we will pay for your portion of the arbitration administrative costs (but not your attorneys’ fees).
      5. If there is a final judicial determination that any particular Claim(s) cannot be arbitrated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(d), then only (A) that particular Claim(s) (each, a “Non-Arbitrable Claim”), (B) any IP Claim(s), and (C) any Small Claims may be brought in court (which, with respect to Small Claims, must be brought in small claims court); all Claims other than Non-Arbitrable Claims, IP Claims, and Small Claims not sought to be arbitrated remain subject to the provisions of Section 5(d)(ii) above.  THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE FOR ALL NON-ARBITRABLE CLAIMS (AS DEFINED ABOVE) AND ALL IP CLAIMS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 5(d)(ii) ABOVE) NOT SOUGHT TO BE ARBITRATED SHALL BE THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS IN THE COUNTY AND STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE FOR ALL SMALL CLAIMS NOT SOUGHT TO BE ARBITRATED SHALL BE THE SMALL CLAIMS COURTS IN THE COUNTY AND STATE OF NEW YORK; WITH RESPECT TO NON-ARBITRABLE CLAIMS (AS DEFINED ABOVE), SUCH IP CLAIMS, AND SUCH SMALL CLAIMS, YOU HEREBY CONSENT TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THOSE COURTS AND HEREBY WAIVE ALL DEFENSES OF LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND FORUM NON CONVENIENS.  Nothing in these Terms (including in this Section 5(d)) shall limit the ability of either you or us to seek equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
      6. The arbitrator may not award relief in excess of or contrary to what these Terms provide, order consolidation or arbitration on a class-wide or representative basis, or damages in excess of or contrary to what these Terms provide, or order injunctive or declaratory relief, except that the arbitrator may award on individual basis damages required by statute and may order injunctive or declaratory relief pursuant to an applicable consumer protection statute.  Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction.  If any portion of this Section 5(d) is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall still be given full force and effect. This arbitration clause will continue to be valid even if these Terms are no longer valid for any reason.
      7. You must contact us within one (1) year of the date of the event or facts giving rise to a Claim, or you will have waived the right to pursue a Claim based on such event or facts.
      8. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration provisions of these Terms.  All issues are for an arbitrator to decide, except that only a court may decide issues relating to the scope or enforceability of the arbitration provisions of these Terms or the interpretation of the prohibition of class and representative actions.  If any of these dispute resolution provisions is found unenforceable, that provision shall be severed, and the balance of the dispute resolution provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
    1. Class Action Waiver. YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT: (I) YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION; AND (II) YOU MAY BRING A CLAIM(S) (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 5(d)(ii) ABOVE) AGAINST ZETTE ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING.  FOR PURPOSE OF CLARIFICATION, YOU CANNOT MAKE “CLASS ACTION” CLAIMS.  The arbitrator cannot group your Claim(s) with any other claims, causes of action, or disputes.
    2. Indemnification. You hereby agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Zette, its affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against all third-party claims and liabilities (including attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or relating to your violation or alleged violation of these Terms.

Please review these Terms (and the information and policies for which links are provided or referenced in these Terms, including our Privacy Policy) periodically to become aware of any changes that may have occurred; we will update the Effective Date at the top of the page to help you know when changes to these Terms have been made. Except where prohibited by applicable law, rule, or regulation, changes to these Terms and our Privacy Policy may be made without notice to you, and the most recent version will replace and supersede all previous versions. Your use of our Services after any changes to these Terms and/or to our Privacy Policy will be deemed to constitute your approval and acceptance of such changes. Except as set forth in this Section 6(b), all amendments to these Terms must be in writing, executed by Zette, and expressly state that they are amending these Terms.
    3.

    4. We may change our Services, or suspend or cease performance of our Services, at any time and for any reason (or no reason).  We may also suspend or cease availability of Publisher Content at any time and for any reason (or no reason).
    5. We may post on our Site links to other websites or digital properties.  We do not and cannot control the content of other websites or digital properties, and we are not responsible for the content (including Publisher Content) of, or any of the products or services provided through, other websites or digital properties.  Our linking to other websites or digital properties does not constitute or represent, and shall not be deemed to constitute or represent, our agreement with or endorsement of the content, products, services, or owners or providers of those websites or digital properties.
    6. We will not be liable for any acts or omissions resulting from circumstances or causes beyond our reasonable control.
    7. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any of your rights or obligations under these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent.  Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms or any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without such consent will be null and of no effect.  These Terms and all of our rights and obligations under these Terms are freely assignable by us without your consent.
    8. There are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms.  These Terms do not create an agency, partnership, or joint venture.
