This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut applicable to contracts made and performed there, without regard to its conflict of laws principles, and where applicable, the laws of the United States. You agree that New Haven County, Connecticut shall be the sole and exclusive venue for any legal action or proceeding between Firefly and You for any purpose concerning the Services, this Terms of Use or the Website. You waive any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum objections to such courts. Any cause of action or claim You may have with respect to the Services, use of the Firefly Website, or this Terms of Use must be commenced within one (1) year after it arises, except to the extent such limitation is not enforceable.
The Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between You and Firefly with respect to the Services and use of the Website and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Services and use of the Website.
We may, without advance notice, supplement or change this Terms of Use at any time. Any changes made to this Terms of Use will be effective as soon as they are posted on the Firefly Website. By accessing or using the Services, You agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use as posted on the Firefly Website at the time of Your access or use. It is Your sole responsibility to review the Terms of Use each time You use the Services so that You are aware of any changes to the Terms of Use. If any change to this Terms of Use is not acceptable to You, Your sole remedy is to cease accessing, browsing, and otherwise using the Website.
We may update the content pertaining to the Services from time to time, but its content is not necessarily complete or up-to-date. Any of the material pertaining to the Services may be out of date at any given time, and we are under no obligation to update such material.
You may not assign or transfer any rights to any other person without Firefly’s prior written consent.
Any notice given under these Terms by either party to the other must be in writing by email and will be deemed to have been given on transmission. Notices to Firefly must be sent to support@fireflylab.org. Notices to You will be sent to the email address You provided when setting up Your access to the Services.
The provisions of this Terms of Use are severable, and in the event any provision hereof is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions, but such provision shall be reformed, if reasonably possible, only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable.
The provisions of these Terms of Use titled “Disclaimer of Warranties,” “Limitation of Liability,” “Limitation of Liability,” “Indemnification,” “Governing Law,” and “Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Actions” shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
These terms control the relationship between Firefly and You. A person who is not a party to these Terms has no right to benefit under or to enforce any term of these Terms.
If Firefly does not exercise or enforce any particular right or provision in these Terms, this does not mean that we are giving up any rights that we may have (such as taking action in the future), and the Company does not waive that right or provision.
Firefly’s failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right hereunder, or failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of this Terms of Use, shall not be considered waiver thereof, which can only be made by a signed writing. No single waiver shall be considered a continuing or permanent waiver.
This agreement provides that all disputes between you and Firefly will be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION. You thus GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract (EXCEPT for matters that may be taken to SMALL CLAIMS COURT). Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.
BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU AND FIREFLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO WAIVE CERTAIN RIGHTS TO LITIGATE DISPUTES IN COURT, TO RECEIVE A JURY TRIAL, OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR AS A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLAIM ON A CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS OR IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT A CONSOLIDATED, CLASS-WIDE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS AND THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO PROCEED WITH ARBITRATION ON A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD INJUNCTIVE RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. IF FOR ANY REASON THE ARBITRATION CLAUSE SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS OF USE IS DEEMED INAPPLICABLE OR INVALID, OR TO THE EXTENT THE ARBITRATION CLAUSE ALLOWS FOR LITIGATION OF DISPUTES IN COURT, YOU AND FIREFLY BOTH WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR AS A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLAIM ON A CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS OR IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY.
You agree that if You breach of any term of this Agreement, including the foregoing representations, Firefly has the right to suspend or terminate Your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Services (or any portion thereof) and You will defend and indemnify Firefly and its affiliates against any liability, costs, or damages arising out of the breach of the representation.
We may modify these terms or any additional terms that apply to the Services to, for example, reflect changes to the law or changes to the Services. You should look at the terms regularly. We’ll post notice of modifications to these terms on this page. If You do not agree to the modified terms for the Services, You should discontinue Your use of the Services.
We are constantly changing and improving the Services. We may add or remove functionalities or features, and we may suspend or stop the Services altogether.
