The Earthquake Report

The disclaimers and legal guides define how to use recommendations, results and usage of the information.

YOU HAVE ACCEPTED ALL LEGAL AGREEMENTS WHEN YOU CHECKED THE CHECK-BOX AND CLICKED “YES” NEXT TO THE QUESTION: “DO YOU ACCEPT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS” WHEN SUBMITTING YOUR INFORMATION TO OUR SYSTEM. LEGAL AGREEMENTS INCLUDE ‘TERMS AND CONDITIONS’ SPECIFIED IN THIS DOCUMENT AS WELL AS THE ‘TERMS AND CONDITIONS’, ‘TERMS OF USE’ AND ‘PRIVACY POLICY’ . THE AGREEMENTS MAY BE CHANGED OR ALTERED WITHOUT NOTICE, AT ANY TIME, AT THE DISCRESION OF SEISMOCON SYSTEMS. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER TO REMAIN AWARE OF THE LATEST LEGAL INFORMATION GIVEN BY SEISMOCON. SEISMOCON SYSTEM IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR (i) THE CONTENT OF YOUR DATA OR (ii) ACQUIRED [AND/OR CALCULATED] DATA FROM THIRDPARTY SOURCES. INCORRECT DATA MAY CREATE ERRONEOUS RESULTS.

This report is created to give you a better understanding how a similar type of building, at a similar geographic area, will respond to seismic forces similar to what actual happened near your structure.

The Building
- Your building has not been inspected by us. We have no knowledge about any structural components of the building. Nor are we aware of what the building has been exposed to by outside forces (seismic, wind, water, landslides, constructions, repairs, renovations, etc.)
- Results of the report is based on the answer that was submitted by you (the user) in the building taxonomy [questionnaire]. We are not checking any answer and (i) are therefore unaware if the answers are correct or not, and (ii) what relation you (the user) has to the building. If your details are untruthful we may report this to the appropriate authorities if and when we determine it is necessary.

The Location
- We rely on (i) the information that was submitted by the you (the user) that the house address is correct as we are not checking this information, and (ii) data from United States Geological Survey, herein referred as to "USGS", and other governmental sources to determine the risk class of the geographic location the building stands on. The risk class may change at any time if and when these databases are updated, and (iii) data from the USGS where the nearest strong motion is located at and (iv) data that is recorded from these strong motion sensors. We have not checked either location or sensor data as this originates from third party sources, outside the control of Seismocon Systems.

The Report
THE REPORT IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY AND NOT INTENDED TO BE USED IN FINANCIAL OR COMMERCIAL USE.

- The calculations used in the report are created by Global Earthquake Model Foundation, herein referred as to "GEM".
- The building is classified using tables from GEM and the USGS.
- The risk zone of the building is based on tables from the USGS.
- The wording in the risk assessment report is created by USGS.
- The risk assessment and result is built by Seismocon Systems, using the GEM & USGS formulas. The formulas are based on standard equations accepted as industry standard by academia, the scientific community, and governmental authorities.

The Result
THE RESULT OF THE REPORT IS AN APPROXIMATION BASED ON (i) THE TYPE OF HOUSE YOU DEFINED IN THE TAXONOMY, (ii) DATA FROM A NEARBY GOVERNMENTAL STRONG MOTION/GROUND MOTION SENSOR, (iii) THE GEOGRAPHIC RISK ZONES THE HOUSE IS LOCATED AT, AND (iv) ADJUSTMENTS BASED ON SPECIFICS GIVEN IN THE TAXONOMY.

THE SENSOR VALUES ARE NOT EXTRACTED FROM YOUR BUILDING AND THE RESULTS SHALL THEREFORE BE DEEMD AS AN APPROXIMATION, AND NOT EXACT. IT IS ALWAYS RECOMMENDED TO USE A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER TO MAKE AN ASSESSMENT OF THE STRUCTURE TO UNDERSTAND RISK FACTORS FROM A PROFESSIONAL POINT OF VIEW. IN THE EVENT YOU INSTALLED A SEISMOCON MONITORING UNIT IN THE BUILDING (DEFINED IN THE TAXONOMY), THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CHANGE AND OTHER TERMSN AND CONDITIONS ARE ATTACHED TO THE SIGNUP OF THE SEISMOCON MONITORING SERVICE IN THE BUILDING.

There are many unknown factors to consider, such as (i) the current condition of the house, (ii) what the house has been exposed to in the past, (iii) the correctness of the taxonomy answers, and (iv) third-party data sources. It is therefore NOT recommended to use this report a tool, only as an indication of status. The reference indication means “an idea” of the risk when seismic forces are exposed to the house. We do not take responsibility for third party data or the result it produce.

SEISMOCON SYSTEMS SHALL AT ALL TIME BE HELD HARMLESS AND WITHOUT ANY LIABILITY RELATED TO NATURAL DISASTERS WITH REFERENCE TO ANY INFORMATION SPECIFIED IN THIS REPORT. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THIS INCLUDES BODILY, PHYCOLOGICALLY, FINANCIALLY, AND SIMILAR INJURIES , INCLUDING FATAL OCCURRENCES, IN CONNECTION WITH EARTHQUAKES, VULCANOUS, WIND, LANDSLIDES, WATER, AND/OR SIMILAR EVENTS, INCLUDING EXPLOSITIONS OR DISPLACEMENTS MADE BY CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES WITHIN OR OUTSIDE THE STRUCTURE. THIS INDEMNIFICATION CLAUSE ALSO INCLUDES ANY CLAIMS OF DAMAGED PROPERTY, OF ANY SORT.

It is always the responsibility of the occupants, the owner, renter, the property manager, and who-ever is responsible/in charge of the building, to assure a safe environment with and around the structure.

The Data
Any data submitted to Seismocon Systems will be used to run reports, in research, to share with other database providers, for educational and business purposes. You give up data voluntarily, with the knowledge and approval that we will use it for purposes described herein. We shall protect data to our best ability, but in case we are subject to data breach by any sort, you release us from any and all liability for financial loss of any kind, and loss of data that may relate to your account. We will keep your data until you instruct us to remove it from our systems. Any data submitted to us is owned by Seismocon System, without exception.

Alerts and Communication
The Seismocon system receives your house address and your cell phone number, both of which we store and use to understand when a seismic activity has happened around these two locations (Your House & Your Phone). When opting in for alert messages the Seismocon system will watch for incidents that happens around these longitude and latitude coordinates, using USGS natural disaster alerts created by the US government. You expressly agree us to use this data of locations, and to send alert notifications via TEXT and/or Emails. If you wish to change the status of the alert and communication services, then there is an opt in/out of this service at your Seismocon profile settings.

The Crowd Funding

When you back Seismocon, you are agreeing to all the rules on this page. Some of them need to be expressed in legal language, but to make it easy to understand we have created a summary of each paragraph in these blue boxes. Important to note is that these summaries are not part of the official legal terms.

By using this website (the “Site”) and services (together with the Site, the “Services”, ”Project”) offered by Seismocon Systems, Inc. and its affiliates, agents, representatives, consultants, employees, officers, and directors — also referred as to “Seismocon”, ”Company”, “we”, or “us”, you are agreeing to these legally binding rules (the “Terms”). The reader or user of this site is also defined as herein as “Backer”, “You”, “Contributor”, “Campaign Backer” or “The reader”, are the definition of a donor of funds in connection with the rewards program offered with the Seismocon crowd funding campaign. For purposes of the following Terms and Condition, “Seismocon,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and other similar terms, shall refer to the party with whom you are contracting, which is Seismocon Systems, Inc., PO Box 3496, Napa California 94558.

We may change these terms from time to time. If we do, we will let you know about any material changes by notifying you on the Site. New versions of the terms will never apply retroactively — we will tell you the exact date they go into effect. If you back Seismocon after a change, that means you accept the new terms. To the extent allowed by law, the English version of these Terms and Conditions is binding and other translations are for convenience only. You are also agreeing to our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

About Backing the Project

You like the Seismocon system. You want to help the project to come to fruition. You have contributed funds and have selected a rewards program that is attached to this program.

Seismocon is running a crowd funding campaign and is offering different rewards to raise money from users (“Backers”). Each Backer understands that the rewards program in the Seismocon crowd funding campaign is not to be considered a purchase of a product or a service. The rewards program is a way for Seismocon to say “thank you” for contributing funds and for enabling the project to come to fruition. It is also understood by the backer that things may happen in the process of developing and manufacturing a product/service that may result in a failure of such development/ production. In the event that such a failure happens, the backer will not receive any reward, and donated funds are not refundable.

Seismocon offers a number of rewards on its website. Each reward is connected with a contribution amount. The backer selects one of the rewards programs and pays the contribution to Seismocon. Seismocon warrants that all information about the product and services in the crowd funding campaign is accurate and truthful. It is important to note that during a development process, the estimation and definition of the product and services are subject to change. Examples of such changes are lead time of the development and shipping dates, final industrial designs, operations and functionality, selection of technical components, etc. No content is intended to provide financial, legal, tax or other professional advice. Before making any decisions regarding the Seismocon crowd funding campaign, you should consult your financial, legal, tax or other professional advisor as appropriate. You acknowledge that all actions taken by you in backing this project is at your own risk. We expressly disclaim any liability or responsibility for the outcome or success of this campaign. You, as a backer, must make the final determination as to the value and appropriateness of contributing to our campaign.

ALL CONTRIBUTIONS ARE AT YOUR OWN RISK. When you make contributions with Seismocon, it is your responsibility to understand how your money will be used. Please understand the following:

All funds from backers in this campaign will be used solely as described in the materials that are posted or otherwise provided in the crowd funding campaign.
Seismocon shall have full discretion to determine how the funds will be used.
Seismocon makes no representation as to whether all or any portion of your contribution are tax deductible or eligible for tax credits.
Seismocon will have no liability for any claim by any federal, state, provincial, territorial, local or any other tax authority with respect to the characterization on any applicable tax return of any contribution by you.
You must be 18 years old or over to enter into a binding contract with Seismocon.
You need to submit and warrant that your contact and shipping details are truthful and accurate.
If anyone else uses your account without your permission, you must report it to Seismocon.

Seismocon may, at its sole discretion, refuse to offer the rewards to any person or entity and change its eligibility criteria at any time. This provision is void where prohibited by law and the right to access the Service is revoked in those jurisdictions.

How This Works

Most of our Terms and Conditions explain your relationship with Seismocon. This section is different — it explains the relationship between Seismocon and You [The backer of our project], and who is responsible for what. This is what you are agreeing to when you sign up.

We have created a funding platform for our project. We invite people to enter into a contract with us. Anyone who backs the project is accepting our offer, and entering into that contract. The contract is a direct legal agreement between Seismocon and the backers. Here are the terms that govern that agreement:

The funds from the backers must go to the Seismocon project. When a project is successfully funded, when development and production are done, and when the product is ready for shipment, the backer shall receive the reward to the backer’s registered shipping address. Once the product is shipped, Seismocon has satisfied its obligation to the backer.

Throughout the process, Seismocon owes the backers a high standard of effort, honest communication, and dedication to bringing the project to life. At the same time, backers must understand that when they back the Seismocon project, they are helping to create something new — not ordering something that exists. There may be changes or delays, and there is a chance something could happen that prevents the Seismocon from being able to finish the project as promised.

The Estimated Time of Delivery listed on each reward is not a promise to fulfill by that date, but is merely an estimate of when Seismocon hopes to provide that reward.

If Seismocon is unable to complete the project and fulfill rewards, the project is considered to have failed. In a situation like this, Seismocon shall:
- email the backer an update that explains what work has been done, how funds were used, and what prevents Seismocon from finishing the project as planned;
- work diligently and in good faith to bring the project to the best possible conclusion.

You may view Content on the Site without registering, but as a condition of backing the project, you are required to register with Seismocon and select a rewards program. You shall provide accurate, complete, and updated registration information. Failure to do so shall constitute a breach of the Terms and Conditions, which may result in immediate termination of your account. You will immediately notify us in writing of any unauthorized use of your account, or other known account-related security breach.

How Funding Works

This section explains how and when funds are collected, and the cancellation and refund policy.

These are the terms that apply when you are backing the project:

You are charged immediately after you have chosen your rewards program for the project. Backers consent and authorize Seismocon to collect funds that are attached to the rewards program. The exact amount you decided to contribute is the amount we will collect. You represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the applicable credit card for the contribution.
No cancellations. The spirit of crowd funding is that you back a project financially. You may back it with a contribution because you want to see the idea and concept come alive, or you take the opportunity to pick one of the offers that is given by Seismocon and wait for the product to be developed, produced and shipped. Funds are used for its purpose on an ongoing basis and this is why backing of the project can’t be cancelled.
The Estimated Delivery Date is Our Estimate. The date listed on each reward is our estimate of when the award is provided — not a guarantee to fulfill by that date. The schedule may change as the development and production progress.
About Your Contact & Shipping Information. To deliver rewards, we might need information from you, i.e. your mailing address. To receive the reward, you will need to provide your information and if shipping information is changed at the time of delivery, it is the backer’s responsibility to provide such changed information to us at least 3 weeks prior to the shipping date. In the event a backer’s shipping address is inaccurate, the backer will be charged for the second shipment prior to such second shipment being handled.
No refunds. When the product is shipped to the backer, it is not considered a purchase of a product, but a reward of a contribution. The backer can therefore not return the product to Seismocon with a request of a refund, at any time, regardless of reason. Seismocon reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to refund a Backer’s contribution at any time and for any reason, and if they do so, they are not required to fulfill the reward.
Online Payment Service. Seismocon uses third-party payment processing partners to bill you through your credit card for any contributions made, and backer acknowledge that by contributing a donation to the campaign, the backer is agreeing to any and all applicable terms set forth by our payment partners (currently, PayPal and Square), in addition to these Terms and Conditions. In the event Seismocon adds another payment partner, Seismocon is not required to inform the backers about such addition.
Anti-Money Laundering Policy: A contributor warrants, under penalty of perjury, that funds that are used to back the Seismocon project in this crowd funding campaign are legal and free of any illegal activity, including money laundering. The purpose of this policy is to assist law enforcement in combating illegal money laundering, and to minimize the risk of Seismocon resources being used for improper purposes.

Other Websites

If you follow a link to another website, what happens there is between you and them — not us.

Seismocon may provide links to third-party websites. (For instance, project pages, user profiles, governmental websites, insurance companies, etc.) When you access third-party websites, you do so at your own risk. Those other websites are not under the control of Seismocon, and you acknowledge that Seismocon is not liable for the content, functions, accuracy, legality, appropriateness, or any other aspect of those other websites or resources. The inclusion on another website of any link to the Site does not imply endorsement by or affiliation with the Seismocon. You further acknowledge and agree that Seismocon shall not be liable for any damage related to the use of any content, goods, or services available through any third-party website or resource.

Intellectual Property

Our Rights

To operate, we need to be able to maintain control over what happens. So in this section, we reserve the right to make decisions to protect the health and integrity of Seismocon. We do not take these powers lightly, and we only use them when we absolutely have to.

Seismocon reserves these rights:

We can make changes to the Seismocon Site and Services without notice or liability.
We have the right to decide who is eligible to become a backer of our project. We can cancel or decline a contribution. Seismocon is not liable for any damages as a result of any of these actions, and it is our policy not to comment on the reasons for any such action.
Seismocon shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where the failure results from any cause beyond the Company’s reasonable control, including, but not limited to, mechanical, electronic, or communications failure or degradation problems. The Terms and Conditions are personal to you, and are not assignable, transferable, or sub licensable by you except with our prior written consent. The Company may assign, transfer, or delegate any of its rights and obligations hereunder without consent. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of the Terms and Conditions and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect.
You may not assign these Terms and Conditions without the prior written consent of Seismocon, but Seismocon may assign or transfer these Terms and Conditions, in whole or in part, without restriction. Seismocon may, at any time, assign our rights or delegate our obligations hereunder without notice to you in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of equity or assets, or by operation of law or otherwise. Nothing in these Terms shall prevent Seismocon from complying with the law. Seismocon shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, war, terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, pandemics, strikes or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.

Warranty Disclaimer

We work hard to provide you with great services, but we cannot guarantee everything will always work perfectly. This site is presented as-is, without warranties.

Since we are developing the Seismocon system, using funds from backers in this crowd funding campaign, the reward we provide at the successful completion of the project will be delivered “as is” and “as available” and without warranty of any kind, express or implied.

Indemnification and release

If you do something in connection with our name, company, products or services that winds up getting us sued, you have to help defend us.

You agree to release, indemnify on demand and hold Seismocon and its affiliates and their officers, employees, directors and agents harmless from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, awards, fines, damages, rights, claims, actions of any kind and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Services, any Contribution or Campaign, any User Content, your connection to the Services, your violation of these Terms or your violation of any rights of another. You agree that Seismocon has the right to conduct its own defense of any claims at its own discretion, and that you will indemnify Seismocon for the costs of its defense (including, but not limited to attorney’s fees.)

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, and that if known by him or her would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party." If you are a resident of another jurisdiction—in or outside of the United States—you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.

Limitation of Liability

If something bad happens as a result of using Seismocon, we are not liable (beyond a small amount)

YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER SEISMOCON NOR ITS AFFILIATES WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY (A) INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, (B) DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, (C) DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, (D) DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF USE, (E) LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA, OR (F) OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF SEISMOCON HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, RESULTING FROM (I) THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES; (II) THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS AND SERVICES RESULTING FROM ANY GOODS, DATA, INFORMATION OR SERVICES PURCHASED OR OBTAINED OR MESSAGES RECEIVED OR TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO THROUGH OR FROM THE SERVICES; (III) ANY PROMOTIONS AND RELATED PRIZES OR REWARDS MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES; (IV) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR DATA; (V) ACCIDENTAL DEATH OR INJURY OF ANY SORT; (VI) STATEMENTS OR CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE SERVICES; OR (VII) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE SERVICES. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL SEISMOCON 'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES (INCLUDING CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STATUTORY LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE) OR CAUSES OF ACTION EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID SEISMOCON IN THE LAST SIX (6) MONTHS, OR, IF GREATER, ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICES OR WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SERVICES.

Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

We are located in Napa, California, and any disputes with us have to be handled in Napa under California law.

We at Seismocon encourage you to contact us if you are having an issue, before resorting to the courts. In the unfortunate situation where legal action does arise, these Terms (and all other rules, policies, or guidelines incorporated by reference) will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of California and the United States, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law, and without application of the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act or the United Nations Convention of Controls for International Sale of Goods. You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these Terms, or your use or non-use of Seismocon, shall be filed only in the state or federal courts located in Napa County in the State of California, and you hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of these courts for the purposes of litigating any such action. You hereby irrevocably waive any right you may have to trial by jury in any dispute, action, or proceeding.

ARBITRATION CLAUSE & CLASS ACTION WAIVER – IMPORTANT – PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS:

Arbitration; Class Action Waiver. YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US OR ANY OF OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR EMPLOYEES ACTING IN THEIR CAPACITY AS SUCH (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DISPUTE INVOLVES A THIRD PARTY) WITH REGARD TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DISPUTES RELATED TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU AND WE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY. DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND WE ARE EACH WAIVING OUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these Terms and Conditions will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either of us to (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

The Process. Any arbitration between you and us will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms and Conditions. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Our current address for Notice is: Seismocon Systems, Inc., PO Box 3496, Napa CA 94558. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to work with you and make a good faith effort to resolve the claim directly, but if we are not successful within 60 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by either of us must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the arbitrator awards you an amount which exceeds the last written settlement amount offered by us in settlement of the dispute prior to the award, we will pay to you the higher of: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator; or (ii) $10,000.00.

Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, we will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee unless your claim is for more than $10,000 in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at an agreed upon location in San Francisco, California, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a telephone hearing or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county of your billing address. If the arbitration finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in the Federal Rule of Civil procedure 11(b), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse us for all monies previously disbursed by us that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

No Class Actions. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE 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, unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If we make any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to our address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to our address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with us will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
Enforceability. If this Disputes section is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Disputes section will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in the General section below will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms and Conditions.

Confidentiality. We each agree to keep the arbitration proceedings, all information exchanged between us, and any settlement offers confidential, unless otherwise required by law or requested by law enforcement or any court or governmental body. However, we may each disclose these matters, in confidence, to our respective accountants, auditors, and insurance providers.

The Rest

These are our official terms and our rules for how things work. (So if you ever see confusing or conflicting information about any of this stuff, just check these terms — they are the last word.) Thanks so much for reading them, and for backing Seismocon!

These Terms and the other material referenced in them are the entire agreement between you and Seismocon with respect to the Project. They supersede all other communications and proposals (whether oral, written, or electronic) between you and Seismocon with respect to the Services and govern our future relationship. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid under the law, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms otherwise will remain in full force and effect and enforceable. The failure of either you or Seismocon to exercise any right provided for in these Terms in any way will not be deemed a waiver of any other rights. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under the Terms and Conditions, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys' fees. All notices under the Terms and Conditions will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail; or the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service.

QUESTIONS? CONCERNS? SUGGESTIONS? Please contact us at legal@seismocon.com to report any violations of these Terms or to pose any questions regarding these Terms and Conditions, or the Project.

You also have the right to complain to your supervisory authority (further details of which are set out in Section 11 below). Those underlined are defined in more detail as follows:

Access:

You can ask us to;

(i) confirm whether we are processing your personal data, (ii) give you a copy of that data, (iii) provide you with other information about your personal data such as what data we have, what we use it for, who we disclose it to, whether we transfer it abroad and how we protect it, what rights you have, how you can make a complaint, where we got your data from and whether we have carried out automated decision making or profiling, to the extent that information has not already been provided to you in this Policy.

Rectification:

You can ask us to rectify inaccurate personal data. We may seek to verify the accuracy of the data before rectifying it.

Erasure:

You can ask us to erase your personal data, but only where:

it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected; or you have withdrawn your consent (where the data processing was based on consent); or following a successful right to object (see "objection" below); or it has been processed unlawfully; or to comply with a legal obligation which app is subject to.

We are not required to comply with your request to erase your personal data if the processing of your personal data is necessary: for compliance with a legal obligation; or for the establishment, research, exercise or defense of legal claims. There are certain other circumstances in which we are not required to comply with your erasure request, although these two are the most likely circumstances where we would deny that request.

Restriction:

You can ask us to restrict (i.e. keep but not use) your personal data, but only where: its accuracy is contested (see "rectification" below), to allow us to verify its accuracy; or the processing is unlawful, but you do not want it erased; or it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, but we still need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or you have exercised the right to object, and verification of overriding grounds is pending.

We can continue to use your personal data following a request for restriction, where:

(i) we have your consent; or (ii) to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (iii) to protect the rights of another natural or legal person.

Portability:

You can ask us to provide your personal data to you in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, or you can ask to have it "ported" directly to another data controller, but in each case only where: the processing is based on your consent or the performance of a contract with you; and the processing is carried out by automated means.

Objection:

You can object to any processing of your personal data which has our legitimate interests as its legal basis (see Section 3 or contact us for further details), if you believe your fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh our legitimate interests. Once you have objected, we have an opportunity to demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate interests which override your rights.

Automated Decision Making:

You can ask not to be subject to a decision which is based solely on automated processing (see Section 8), but only where that decision (i) produces legal effects concerning you (such as the rejection of a claim); or (ii) otherwise significantly affects you.

In such situations, you can obtain human intervention in the decision making, and we will ensure measures are in place to allow you to express your point of view, and / or contest the automated decision. Your right to obtain human intervention or to contest a decision does not apply where the decision which is made following automated decision making: (i) is necessary for entering into or performing a contract with you, or (ii) is authorized by law and there are suitable safeguards for your rights and freedoms; or (iii) is based on your explicit consent.

To exercise your rights you may contact us as set out in Section 11. Please note the following if you do wish to exercise these rights:

Identity: We take the confidentiality of all records containing personal data seriously, and reserve the right to ask you for proof of your identity if you make a request.
