8. Our Proprietary Rights

The Check app offers various features that may or may not be accessible to you, depending on your selection and, if applicable, payment or subscription. Some features of the Service require the installation of Mobile Software on the relevant devices. Please note that not all Service features may be available in your country. See below for more information.

A. Location Information and Driving Event Features

Specific features of the Service are designed to gather and share location information about you and other users of the Service, as well as monitor driving behaviors. To utilize these features, the Service collects location, sensory, and motion data from your mobile device. This data is used to share location information, detect and analyze driving behavior and events (such as speeding, hard braking, distracted driving, collisions, precise location history, and vehicle movements), provide emergency response services, generate reports, and enable the functionality of the Service. It's important to note that this data is collected even if you are not the driver, so please ensure you have the necessary permission from the driver to collect such information. If you don't have permission, make sure to deactivate the location services, driver behavior reporting, and crash detection features. By using the location services, driver behavior, and detection features while in a motor vehicle, you confirm that you are the driver or have obtained consent from the driver for Check app to collect and use location, movement, and driving behavior information from your device to provide the Services and for other purposes as outlined in our Privacy Policy.

To ensure proper functioning, these features require the corresponding Mobile Software to be installed on the device from which location and movement data will be provided. Additionally, access to location, sensory, and motion data from your smartphone or mobile device is necessary. If the device permissions and settings allowing access to this data are not properly configured or enabled, these features may not work correctly. Furthermore, various factors can affect their functionality, such as the device being powered on and connected to the wireless service provider's network (not Wi-Fi), the status of location services, the usage of the Service or any blocks on the device, ongoing phone calls, and other factors. Currently, Location Information and Driving Event features are available only in the United States.

D. Digital Safety

The Check app provides the Check Digital Safety service, offering various features such as data breach alerts, identity protection and restoration, and credit monitoring. We have established partnerships with third-party providers to deliver these services to you. To provide you with these services, we may share your Personal Information with our partners.

If you are a member of a Check Circle, you have the choice to opt-in to ID protection and data breach alerts for yourself and the entire Circle. In such cases, every member of the Circle will have visibility into ID protection and data breach alerts for all other members in the same Circle. You can opt out of receiving data breach alerts or identity theft protection at any time by accessing your settings and selecting the "Digital Safety" option. By opting out, you will no longer receive the respective services, and you will no longer share such information with your Circle.

The Check Digital Safety service is currently available in the United States only

C. Pricing and Payment Terms

i. Advance Payment for Subscription/Access Fees

All subscription and access charges for Subscription Features must be paid in advance. The Company is not liable for any charges or expenses you incur as a result of charges billed in accordance with this Agreement (e.g., overdraft fees, exceeding credit card limits, etc.). By providing a credit card number or other authorized payment method (e.g., certain PayPal accounts or in-app payments from third parties like Apple or Google) with advance authorization features, you authorize the Company to continue charging the designated payment method for all charges owed to the Company, including taxes, until your account is settled and your subscription is terminated by either you or the Company. The Company reserves the right to restrict the number of accounts that can be charged to a credit card or other payment or identification method per unique user.

ii. Trial Period for Subscription Accounts

After initially registering for a paid membership subscription, you may be granted an initial trial period. During this trial period, certain Subscription Features may not be accessible at the Company's sole discretion. You have the option to cancel your account at any time during the trial. If you wish to change your account type, you may do so at any time, either before or after the trial period. Each person (credit card or other unique payment or identification method) is limited to one trial per twelve (12)-month period. Failure to cancel your account during the trial will result in charges based on the account type selected during registration. To cancel a subscription to a Subscription Feature at any time, please send an email to hello@getcheckapp.com.

iii. Accepted Payment Methods

The Company accepts credit and debit cards issued by VISA, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. In-app payments from third parties like Apple or Google are also accepted. For security purposes, the Company requires the security code of your debit or credit card to help prevent unauthorized use by others. This security code is a unique three- or four-digit number associated with your card, which may be printed on the front of the card above the embossed account number (in the case of American Express), or on the back of the card within the signature panel (in the case of Visa or MasterCard). If the Company is unable to charge the card provided (e.g., expired credit card), you will receive a notice to update your card information. You will have a grace period of fourteen (14) days to update your billing information. Failure to update the account within the grace period will result in the termination of your subscription by the Company

iv. Changes in Pricing

Prices for Subscription Features are subject to change at the sole discretion of the Company. If changes occur and you are currently subscribed to Subscription Features, the Company will notify you of the change through the Service or via email, as determined by the Company or as required by applicable law, at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the change. Your continued use of the Subscription Features after the price changes become effective signifies your agreement to pay the revised amount. If you do not agree to the new prices, please follow the instructions provided in the "Cancel Subscription Features or Close Your Account" section below. You (and not the Company) are responsible for any charges or fees payable to third parties in connection with the Service, such as ambulances and other emergency responders

You have the option to cancel your account at any time. However, unless prohibited by applicable law, we do not provide refunds for any unused time on a subscription, license or subscription fees for any part of the Service, content or data associated with your account, or any other items. When you cancel any Subscription Features, your subscription will remain valid until the completion of your current paid period. To clarify, if you purchase an annual subscription and cancel it two months into the year, you will not receive a refund for the remaining months but will continue to enjoy the Subscription Features for the remaining ten months that you have already paid for.

E. Payment Information; Taxes

All information you provide for purchases, transactions, or any other monetary interactions with the Service must be accurate, complete, and up to date. You are responsible for paying all charges incurred by users of your credit card, debit card, or any other payment method used for purchases, transactions, or any other monetary interactions with the Service, at the prices in effect when the charges are incurred. You are also responsible for any applicable taxes related to such purchases, transactions, or other monetary interactions.

F. Battery Usage

The use of the Service or Service features that require the Mobile Software may significantly drain the battery of your device. It is recommended to limit the usage of these services or other applications on your device to when they are necessary (e.g., disabling certain Service features when not driving) or, if possible, keeping your device connected to a power source, such as by plugging it in.

This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions regarding substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Collin County, Texas for any actions for which Company retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of its copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below.

B. Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE, EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM COMPANY. In the event that a dispute between you and Company cannot be resolved within sixty (60) days, except where prohibited by applicable law, both parties agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any Company claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its breach (collectively, "Claims") through binding arbitration conducted by the Judicial Mediation and Arbitration Services ("JAMS") under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures in effect for JAMS, except as otherwise provided herein. The arbitration shall take place in Collin County, Texas, unless mutually agreed otherwise by you and Company. Each party shall be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. The arbitrator's award shall include the costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys' fees, and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. This Section shall not prevent Company from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to protect its proprietary interests. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED BY BOTH PARTIES, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS.
