Zeplin Terms of Service

Zeplin, Inc. (“Zeplin”)’s website located at https://zeplin.io (the “Site”). Please read these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) and our Privacy Policy (https://zeplin.io/privacy) (“Privacy Policy”) carefully because they govern your use of our Site and our design application collaboration and development platform and related tools and services accessible via our Site and other Windows and macOS-based applications. To make these Terms easier to read, the Site and our services are collectively called the “Services”, and the terms “Zeplin” “we,” and “us” refer to Zeplin, Inc. and our affiliates and subsidiaries.

By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by these Terms, do not use the Services. If you are accessing and using the Services on behalf of a company (such as your employer) or other legal entity (an “Organization”), you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that Organization to these Terms. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to you and that Organization, unless context requires otherwise. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of an Organization as an “Administrator” (defined as an authorized administrator of the Services for the Organization, which may include the management of Payment Information), you represent and warrant that you have the authority to manage your Organization’s use of the Services under these Terms. You further agree that, if you have purchased a Zeplin Enterprise Plan, then the Zeplin Terms of Service for Enterprise(www.zeplin.io/enterprise/terms) apply with respect to any provisions that conflict with these Terms, absent another agreement between you and Zeplin.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ARBITRATION: WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS YOU ARE AGREEING (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION) TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND ZEPLIN THROUGH BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY SECTION 17 “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” BELOW FOR DETAILS REGARDING ARBITRATION (INCLUDING THE PROCEDURE TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION).

Please refer to our Privacy Policy available at https://zeplin.io/privacy for information on how we collect, use and disclose information from our users. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy.

We may update the Terms at any time, at our sole discretion. If we make material changes to the Terms, we’ll let you know ahead of time either by posting the updated Terms on the Site or through other communications. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we update them as they govern your use of the Services. The changes will not be retroactive, and if you continue to use the Services after we have posted updated Terms, you are agreeing to be bound by the updated Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the updated Terms, then, except as otherwise provided in Section 17(f) “Effect of Changes on Arbitration,” you may not use the Services anymore. Because our Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, including the types of subscription plans we offer and the pricing for such plans, at any time, at our sole discretion.

Subject to the restrictions set forth herein and in your Subscription Plan (as defined in Section 5(b)), you may also be able to invite a limited (or unlimited if your Subscription Plan permits) number of your colleagues, friends, family or others to access the Services by registering and creating an account with Zeplin using the unique login credentials provided by Zeplin (“Authorized Users”) to collaborate and propose changes or edits to the User Applications related to a particular project or projects (each, a “Project”) for which you invite them (each such Authorized User who is invited to contribute to a Project is called a “Team Member” for that Project). Unless you change your settings, only the Team Members invited to collaborate on a Project will have access to the User Applications in that Project. Organizations may also create a unique digital space designated for such Organization where a group of Authorized Users may access Projects and use the Services (each, a “Workspace”). We may also provide you with access to certain “Tools” (e.g., color selection for your designs), so you can visualize certain changes in your User Application.

1. General. When you purchase a subscription (“Subscription”), you expressly authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge you for the term of your Subscription each time your payment is due in accordance with your Subscription Plan (each, a “Transaction”). We may ask you to supply additional information relevant to your Transaction, including your credit card number (or other payment information), the expiration date of your credit card and your email and postal addresses for billing and notification (such information, “Payment Information”). You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use all payment method(s) represented by any such Payment Information.

2. Subscriptions. If you purchase a Subscription, you will be charged the monthly or annual (as applicable) Subscription fee, plus any applicable taxes, and other charges (“Subscription Fee”), at the beginning of your Subscription and each month or year (as applicable) thereafter, at the then-current Subscription Fee. Similarly, if you agree to a Subscription Fee, that will remain your price for the duration of the Subscription period; however, prices are subject to change at the end of a Subscription period. If you purchase a Subscription, we (or our third-party payment processor) will automatically charge you each month or year on the anniversary of the commencement of your Subscription, using the Payment Information you have provided until you cancel your Subscription. By agreeing to these Terms and electing to purchase a Subscription, you acknowledge that your Subscription has recurring payment features and you accept responsibility for all recurring payment obligations prior to cancellation of your Subscription by you or Zeplin.

3. Effect of Termination on Subscription.

3. THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN ZEPLIN AND YOU.

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 17 “Dispute Resolution,” the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes (defined below) that you and Zeplin are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal courts located in the Northern District of California, and you and Zeplin each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

1. Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services or Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. You and Zeplin agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and that you and Zeplin are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.
2. Exceptions and Opt-out. As limited exceptions to Section 17(a) above: (i) you may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights. In addition, you will retain the right to opt out of arbitration entirely and litigate any Dispute if you provide us with written notice of your desire to do so by email at support@zeplin.io or by regular mail at 832 Sansome Street, 3rd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94111, USA within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms.
3. Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org.
   If your claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic or video-conference hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules.
   If your claim exceeds U.S. $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.
4. Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. We’ll pay for all filing, administration and arbitrator fees and expenses if your Dispute is for less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.
5. Class Action Waiver. YOU AND ZEPLIN AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.
6. Effect of Changes on Arbitration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 “Changes to Terms or Services” above, if Zeplin changes any of the terms of this Section 17 “Dispute Resolution” after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to support@zeplin.io) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Effective Date” above or in the date of Zeplin’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Zeplin in accordance with the terms of this Section 17 “Dispute Resolution” as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
7. Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 17(e) of these Terms (“Class Action Waiver”), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.

1. Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Zeplin and you regarding the Services and Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Zeplin and you regarding the Services and Content. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Zeplin’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. Zeplin may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
2. Publicity. You agree that we may identify you as a Zeplin customer in our promotional materials. We will promptly stop doing so upon your request sent to support@zeplin.io.
3. Notices. Any notices or other communications provided by Zeplin under these Terms, including those regarding material modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted. You agree to designate one or more points of contact for notices, billing, and privacy and security issues (“Designated POC”). Your default Designated POC is the billing contact email as entered in your Zeplin Account. It is your responsibility to ensure this email address is accurate, current, and accessible by an Administrator or someone capable of administering your account.
