​

To use the Services, you must register by creating an Account. You agree, in creating your Account, to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself (“Member Data”) and (b) maintain and promptly update the Member Data. You agree that FOS may use your Member Data to provide Services that you access or use and as otherwise set forth in these Terms.

In consideration of your use of the Services, you represent that you are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

​

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account and for restricting access to your Account, computer and mobile device while logged into your  Account. You accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your Account or from your computer and mobile devices. We endeavor to use reasonable security measures to protect against unauthorized access to your Account.

You agree to immediately notify FOS of any unauthorized use of your Account, or any other breach of security, and confirm that you understand all risks of unauthorized access to Member Data and any other information or content you provide to FOS.

​

FOS  may allow you to register for or log-in to your Account via a third-party network, such as Facebook or Google. If you do so, you hereby authorize FOS to pre-populate the registration and other relevant information fields of your Account and/or to use such third-party credentials to log you into your Account. If you connect your Account to a third-party network, you agree to comply with the terms and conditions and policies applicable to such third party.

PAYMENTS AND FEES

Payments

As part of the Services, there are Users with Accounts and Organizations with Organization Owners for the Services. Organization Owners invite User Accounts to their Organization(s).  Organization Owners set up a group of Users in a collective information system, with access to the information and data of others, called an Organization, and  once you have signed up for an Organization, you are considered a Member of that Organization.  Users that sign up their Accounts to manage an Organization, including the financial responsibilities included with the Organization, are Organization Owners.  Organization Owners are responsible for managing the Organization, monitoring Organization activity, and assuring the accuracy of Organization data. 

 

Organization Owners will be responsible for all payments to FOS for themselves and their Members for their Organization.  If you are an Organization Owner you must designate and provide information about your preferred payment method from the payment methods available through the Services (e.g., credit card, online payment service, a third party, like Apple App Store or Google Play, or any other payment method made available by FOS) (the “Payment Method”). If you provide your payment information, you authorize us and certain third-party service providers, payment card networks and payment processors to receive, store and encrypt your payment information. You may switch to a different Payment Method or update your information by visiting a Payment Info Page, if alternative payment methods are available. If you paid through the Google Play or Apple App  store, you may change your Payment Method through the corresponding store Account. No refunds or credits will be provided by FOS, other than as set forth in these Terms. If your payment provider determines that there are fraudulent charges on your Account resulting from use of your Payment Method at the Services, please contact us immediately.

Fees

Each Organization Owner is responsible for paying fees related to their Organization (“Organization Fees”). Organization Fees, along with any required taxes, may be paid on a monthly, seasonal or annual basis, depending on the plan chosen by the Organization Owner. All Organization Fees are payable in advance. Organization Owners changing from monthly to annual Account memberships will have the annual rates take effect at the beginning of the next renewal date. If you upgrade your membership or add new categories of service to your Account, such changes may result in a new billing date. Each Organization Owner agrees to pay the Organization Fees, and other charges you incur in connection with your FOS Account, whether on a one-time or subscription basis. FOS reserves the right to increase Organization Fees, any associated taxes, or to institute new fees at any time upon reasonable advance notice.

​

In the event fees are not paid by an Organization Owner, FOS will contact the Organization Owner and request payment immediately. In the event the Organization Owner does not provide payment within five (5) days notice from FOS of non-payment, FOS may (a) suspend access to the Organization to the Organization Owner and/or Members and/or (b) notify Members of the lack of payment by the Organization Owner.

Auto-Renewal

Membership and other recurring fees will be billed automatically at the start of the monthly or annual period, as applicable. These fees will auto-renew until your membership(s) is modified or terminated, either directly or through the Apple App Store or Google Play.  Your membership(s) fee will be the same as your initial charges unless you are otherwise notified in advance. You may cancel your membership(s) at any time, as described below, and allowed via the Apple App Store or Google Play.

Cancellation of Membership(s)

If you signed up on FOS sites and/or apps you may cancel your status as an Organization Owner by updating your Account information; the cancellation will take place on the next renewal period.   If you signed up through the Google Play or Apple App store, you may cancel your membership(s) by downgrading through the corresponding store. When your Organization Owner status ends, your Account will remain, and you will be able to access your Account data. You can renew your subscription(s) at any time without opening a new Account, although the Organization Fees may have increased. You can delete your Account at any time by visiting your Account section or contacting customer support.

​

In the event you cancel your status as an Organization Owner without designating a new Organization Owner, the Organization will be placed on an inactive status by FOS, with the Content retained by FOS to allow for a new Organization Owner, which is facilitated by a new Organization Owner agreeing to pay the applicable Organization Fees.  

Free Trials

An Organization and your Organization Owner Account, may start with a free trial. The free trial period for any Organization will last for the period of time specified when you signed up. If you begin your Organization with a free trial, we will begin billing your Payment Method for monthly Organization Fees at the end of the free trial period of your subscription unless you cancel your membership prior to the end of the free trial period. Your Payment Method will be authorized as soon as you register for a free trial. In some instances, your available balance or credit limit may be reduced to reflect the authorization; however, no charges will be made against the Payment Method unless you do not cancel prior to the end of your free trial period.

Taxes

Organization Owners agree that any applicable sales, use, or other taxes due to any city, state, or federal government based on the Services provided to you, and your location of jurisdiction, will be added to the Organization Fees and paid with other regular payments.

CONTENT AND CONDUCT

Content

You own the information, data, text, software, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, posts, tags, race times, schedules, or other materials you make available in connection with the Services (“Content”), whether publicly posted, privately transmitted, submitted through a third-party API (e.g. a photograph submitted via Instagram), or assigned to your Account by an Organization Owner. You grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly perform and display any Content and any name, username or likeness that you post on or in connection with the Services in all media formats and channels now known or later developed without compensation to you. You further grant the right for FOS to use de-identified data (data that cannot be linked to your personal information and thus unable to be linked to you, “DID”) to conduct analysis of multi-Member Content, including aggregate and comparison purposes.  In the event FOS desires to share any of your Content, including DID, with a third party for analysis, FOS will provide a notice to you in your Account (the “DID Notice”).  You agree that FOS may share DID derived from your Content within ten (10) days after the Third Party Notice, unless you provide FOS notice you object to any such terms; if that is the case, please let FOS know.  DID expressly excludes personally identifying information, such as a name, address, phone number, or email, which is not included in the definition of Content.

​

In the event you terminate your Account, the license to use your Content, other than DID data, will expire.  FOS will retain the ability to use DID based on your Content after the expiration of this Agreement between

you and FOS.  

​

You understand that you, and not FOS, are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available via the Services. FOS does not proactively and routinely screen or monitor the Content posted to the Services by others and, as such, does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content. FOS may, in its sole discretion, screen, monitor, refuse or remove any Content, or remove any Content that violates the Terms or is otherwise objectionable. You understand that by using the Services, you may be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent or objectionable. Under no circumstances will FOS be liable in any way for any Content, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any Content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content made available on the Services.

If you want information to remain confidential, please do not post the information through the Services.  You acknowledge and agree that your relationship with FOS is not a confidential, fiduciary, or other type of special relationship, and that your decision to submit any Content does not place FOS in a position that is any different from the position held by members of the general public, including with regard to your Content. Your Content will not be subject to any obligation of confidence on the part of FOS other than as set forth in our Privacy Policy and your privacy controls, and FOS will not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Content you provide.

​

You agree, to the extent you are able, to post accurate Content, in the event the Content contains race time data, race results, condition data (such as weather) or other data related to your performance as a Member of the Organization.  

​

The Services may provide you with the ability to mark certain Content that you submit to the Services as private, public, or available only to select Users of the Services. FOS will maintain the privacy of such Content in accordance with your elections, but will be allowed to use such Content as DID. However, if you do not elect to mark your Content as private or available for a limited group of Members, or later change such designation to allow such Content to be made available to anyone, you are responsible for the public nature of the content. Please review our Privacy Policy for more information on how to manage your privacy controls.

Interactions with Members

Everyone signing up for the Services has an Account and is a User. The Services function as a venue to connect Members of an Organization and Organization Owners in a virtual information place. As a neutral facilitator, FOS is not directly involved in the actual interactions between Users of the Services, and relies on Organization Owners to monitor the activity of an Organization. As a result, FOS has no control over the truth, accuracy, quality, legality, or safety of postings made by Members of an Organization or Organization Owners. FOS shall have no responsibility to confirm the identity of Users. FOS shall also have no responsibility to confirm or verify the qualifications, background, or abilities of Users of the Services. You shall at all time exercise common sense and good judgment when dealing with any User of the Services, and rely on the Organization Owners to verify the accuracy of data related to an Organization.

IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER RESIDING IN THE EUROPEAN UNION, YOU HAVE LEGAL REMEDIES IF WE CAUSE YOU LOSS BY OUR BREACH OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF OUR LEGAL OBLIGATIONS, OR BY OUR NEGLIGENCE, AND THESE TERMS DO NOT AFFECT THOSE STATUTORY REMEDIES.

ANY CONTEST, SWEEPSTAKES, OR OTHER PROMOTION OFFERED THROUGH THE SERVICES OR OTHERWISE FROM FOS WILL BE GOVERNED BY SEPARATE OFFICIAL RULES THAT WILL BE PROVIDED AT THE TIME OF SUCH EVENT.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold FOS and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, representatives, employees, partners and licensors harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of Content you submit, post, transmit or otherwise seek to make available through the Services, your use of the Services, your FOS activities which generate the Content you post or seek to post on the Services (including, but not limited to, FOS activities in connection with any contests, races, group rides, or other events which FOS sponsors, organizes, participates in, or whose Services are used in connection with), your connection to the Services, your violation of the Terms, your violation of any data protection or privacy laws, or your violation of any rights of another person or entity. Your rights with respect to FOS are not modified by the foregoing indemnification if the laws of your country of residence, applicable as a result of your use of our Services, do not permit it.

Notice for California members

Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California Services Users are entitled to the following specific consumer rights notice: The Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs may be contacted in writing at 1625 N. Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, California 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

Dispute Resolution

FOS and You agree to use best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through good-faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. This means that, at a minimum, you agree to inform FOS of the issue via a written email and allow FOS five (5) days to respond and rectify the complaint to your reasonable satisfaction.  In the event FOS has not provided a reasonably satisfactory solution to the stated issue, except for disputes relating to the FOS’s intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents) or if you opt out of this agreement to arbitrate, all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement and your use of the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS (an arbitration service) in accordance with its provisions and procedures for consumer-related disputes, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court; provided, however, that the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies, or awards that conflict with this Agreement. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and FOS hereby expressly waive trial by jury. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person’s Account, if FOS is a party to the proceeding. This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. This provision does not apply to Users who live in the European Union.

​

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

Class-action Waiver

The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only, and not as a class action or other representative action. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class-action waiver set forth in this section is void or unenforceable for any reason, or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

Exception - Litigation of Small Claims Court Claims

Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

Thirty-day Right to Opt Out

You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration- and class-action-waiver provisions set forth in this section by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: Troglia Kaplan, LLC, 1765 N. Elston, Suite 211, Chicago, IL Attn: Flats or Spikes, Inc. The notice must be sent within 30 days of registering an Account to use the Services; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with these Terms. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, FOS also will not be bound by them. In addition, if you elect to opt out of these arbitration provisions, FOS may terminate your use of the Services.

Time limitation on claims

You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your relationship with FOS and these Terms must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred.

Choice of Law and Forum

Any action related to the Terms, Content, the Services, and your relationship with the FOS shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Illinois without regard to its conflict of laws principles AND WILL SPECIFICALLY NOT BE GOVERNED BY THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTIONS ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS, IF OTHERWISE APPLICABLE. Subject to the Section entitled “Dispute Resolution”, the parties irrevocably consent to bring any action to enforce this Agreement in the federal or state courts embracing Champaign, Illinois and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts embracing Champaign, Illinois. If any party hereto brings any suit or action against another for relief, declaratory or otherwise, arising out of these Terms, the prevailing party will have and recover against the other party, in addition to all court costs and disbursements, such sum as the court may adjudge to be reasonable attorneys’ fees. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, the parties agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or the Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. This paragraph does not apply to Users who reside in the European Union.

​

If you are a User based in the European Union, then Irish law shall apply to these Terms and the Irish courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear disputes arising in relation to the Terms. Despite this, your local laws in your European Union Member State may allow you to take legal action against FOS in your Member State and to invoke certain local laws against FOS.

Claims Infringement 

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. FOS also reviews claims of trademark infringement. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by FOS infringe your copyright or trademark rights, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work or trademark claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple copyrighted works or trademarks located on the Services are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow FOS to locate the material on the Services; (d) the name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright or trademark owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. Please be advised that FOS will not respond to complaints that do not meet these requirements. If FOS determines that the materials alleged to infringe your copyright or trademark rights do not require removal, FOS will remove those materials only pursuant to a court order declaring the content or use of the materials unlawful.

​

If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Counter-notices must include the following information: (a) your name, address, and telephone number; (b) the source of the content that was removed; (c) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the content was removed in error; (d) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located; or, if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which FOS may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original complaint; and (e) a physical or electronic signature (for example, typing your full name).

​

Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Services must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA and should be sent to the agent identified below. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there may be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.

General

You agree that no joint venture, partnership, joint controllership, employment or agency relationship exists between you and FOS as a result of the Terms or your use of the Services. The Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and FOS with respect to your use of the Services. The failure of FOS to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect. You may not assign, delegate or otherwise transfer your Account or your obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of FOS. FOS has the right, in its sole discretion, to transfer or assign all or any part of its rights under these Terms and will have the right to delegate or use third party contractors to fulfill its duties and obligations under these Terms and in connection with the Services. FOS’s notice to you via email, regular mail or notices, posts, or links on the Services shall constitute acceptable notice to you under the Terms. A printed version of the Terms and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to the Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. Section titles and headings in the Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.

​

FOS reserves the right, without any limitation, to: (i) investigate any suspected breaches of its site’s security or its information technology or other systems or networks; (ii) investigate any suspected breaches of these Terms; (iii) investigate any information obtained by us in connection with reviewing law enforcement databases or complying with criminal laws; (iv) involve and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in investigating any of the foregoing matters; (v) prosecute violators of these Terms; and (vi) discontinue the Services, in whole or in part, or, except as may be expressly set forth in the Terms, suspend or terminate your access to it, in whole or in part, including any Account or registrations, at any time, without notice, for any reason and without any obligation to you or any third party. Any suspension or termination will not affect your obligations to us under these Terms or any Additional Terms. Upon suspension or termination of your access to the Program, or upon notice from us, all rights granted to you under these Terms or any Additional Terms will cease immediately, and you agree that you will immediately discontinue use of the Program. The provisions of these Terms and any Additional Terms, which by their nature should survive your suspension or termination will survive, including the rights and licenses you grant to us in these Terms, as well as the indemnities, releases, disclaimers, and limitations on liability and the provisions regarding jurisdiction, choice of law, no class action, and mandatory arbitration.

Modification of the Terms and Services

Certain provisions of the Terms may be supplemented or superseded by expressly designated legal notices or terms located on particular pages on the Services. FOS reserves the right to update the Terms at any time and for any reason in its sole discretion. FOS will notify you of any material changes to the Terms or to any service or other features of the Services, and such modifications will be effective ten (10) days after such notice, unless you provide written notice of objection. By continuing to access or use the Services after we have provided you with notice of a modification, you are agreeing to be bound by the modified Terms.
