1.         Your Acceptance

If you do not agree to any of these terms or the Privacy Policy, please do not use the Service.

 

Although we may attempt to notify you when major changes are made to these Terms of Service, you should periodically review the most up-to-date version. ProMinute may, in its sole and exclusive discretion, modify or revise these Terms of Service and policies at any time, and you agree to be bound by such modifications or revisions. Nothing in these Terms of Service shall be deemed to confer any third-party rights or benefits.

 

2.         Service

 

These Terms of Service apply to all users of the Service, including users who are also contributors of Content on the Service. “Content” includes the text, software, scripts, graphics, photos, sounds, music, videos, audiovisual combinations, interactive features and other materials you may view on, access through, or contribute to the Service. The Service includes all aspects of ProMinute, including but not limited to all products, software and services offered via the ProMinute website, and other applications.

 

The Service may contain links to third party websites that are not owned or controlled by ProMinute. ProMinute has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites. In addition, ProMinute will not and cannot censor or edit the content of any third-party site. By using the Service, you expressly relieve ProMinute from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website.

 

Accordingly, we encourage you to be aware when you leave the Service and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each other website that you visit.

In order to access some features of the Service, you will have to create a ProMinute account. You may never use another's account without permission. When creating your account, you must provide accurate and complete information. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account, and you must keep your account password secure. You must notify ProMinute immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account.

 

Although ProMinute will not be liable for your losses caused by any unauthorized use of your account, you may be liable for the losses of ProMinute or others due to such unauthorized use.

  • You agree not to use or launch any automated system, including without limitation, "robots," "spiders," or "offline readers," that accesses the Service in a manner that sends more request messages to the ProMinute servers in a given period of time than a human can reasonably produce in the same period by using a conventional on-line web browser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ProMinute grants the operators of public search engines permission to use spiders to copy materials from the site for the sole purpose of and solely to the extent necessary for creating publicly available searchable indices of the materials, but not caches or archives of such materials. ProMinute reserves the right to revoke these exceptions either generally or in specific cases.

ProMinute may at any time, without prior notice and in its sole discretion, remove such Content and/or terminate a user's account for submitting such material in violation of these Terms of Service.

 

8.         Digital Millennium Copyright Act

 

If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any Content infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") by providing our Copyright Agent with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3) for further detail):

 

  • A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;

  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;

  • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material;

  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail;

  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

  • A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

  • You may direct copyright infringement notifications to: questions@ProMinute.com.

  • You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this Section 5(D), your DMCA notice may not be valid.

 

Counter-Notice. If you believe that your Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material in your Content, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent:

  • Your physical or electronic signature;

  • Identification of the Content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the Content appeared before it was removed or disabled;

  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that the Content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the Content; and

  • Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in Seattle, Washington, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

  • If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, ProMinute may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed Content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the Content provider, member or user, the removed Content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at ProMinute's sole discretion.

The Service is controlled and offered by ProMinute from its facilities in the United States of America. ProMinute makes no representations that the Service is appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Service from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.

 

11.        Indemnity

 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless ProMinute, its officers, directors, employees and agents, successors and assigns, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, expenses and fees (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to: (i) your use of and access to the Service; (ii) your violation of any term of these Terms of Service; (iii) your violation of any third party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right; or (iv) any claim that your Content caused damage to a third party.

14.        General

 

You agree that: (i) the Service shall be deemed solely based in Washington; and (ii) the Service shall be deemed a passive website that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over ProMinute, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than Washington.

Any claim or dispute between you and ProMinute that arises in whole or in part from the Service shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in King County, Washington.

 

These Terms of Service, together with the Privacy Policy and any other legal notices published by ProMinute on the Service, shall constitute the full, final and comprehensive agreement between you and ProMinute concerning the Service.

No waiver of any term of this these Terms of Service shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and ProMinute's failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If you are visiting the Service from the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use, please note that you are agreeing to the transfer of your information to the United States and processing globally. By providing your Personal Information, you consent to any transfer and processing in accordance with this Policy.

2. Information Collected Automatically

 

When visiting our Website, interacting with our content, using your ProMinute account or the software applications or otherwise using the Service, we collect the following automatically:
 

  • Usage Data: When you use the Service, we capture the name of your internet service provider, the website from which you visited us from, the pages of the Website or software applciations you visit, the date and duration of your visit, and information from the device (device type, operating system, screen resolution, language, country you are located in, and web browser type) used during your visit (“Usage Data”). We only capture and store a truncated version of your IP address. Your full IP address never reaches our servers and we never have access to it.


We use this data to facilitate and improve upon your access to the Service (e.g. to adjust the services to the device you are using), and to recognize and stop any misuse. We also process Usage Data in an anonymized form for statistical purposes and to improve the Service. In addition, we use behavioral data that is automatically collected to improve and personalize our services.

 

  • Cookies: We use cookies to process information including standard internet log information and details of visitor’s behavioral patterns upon using the Service. ProMinute stores this information in a pseudonymized user profile. Cookies are stored on your individual device and you have full control over their use.


We use cookies to provide you with a better experience, and to facilitate the use of certain functions. ProMinute does not process this information to identify individual users or to match it with further data on an individual user.


You may deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings of your web browser. Cookies that are already stored may be deleted at any time. Should you access the Service with cookies deactivated, you may possibly not be able to use all of the functions on the Service to the full extent.

 

Contact via e-mails: You can use the Service to contact us via the contact form. In that form, we ask for your contact information (e.g. name, email address etc.). If you choose to receive e-mails from us, we may use certain analytics tools to capture data such as when you open our email or if you click on any links or banners in our e-mail.


We may also occasionally send you notification emails about updates to our products, services, legal documents, or offer customer support or marketing emails. Except for cases where we are required to do so by law (e.g. notifying you of a data breach), you shall have the opportunity to unsubscribe from receiving these messages free of charge.


We use this data solely to answer questions we receive or to help us improve on the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns.

 

3. We share some Personal Information with select third-parties and Affiliates:


Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not trade, rent, or share your Personal Information with third parties. However, we may share your Personal Information with select third parties to provide you with the products and services that we offer you through the Service.

 

We use a few trusted external service providers for data analysis, processing and/or storage offerings. These service providers are carefully selected and meet high data protection and security standards.


We only share information with them:

 

  • if you have provided prior consent;

  • if it is required to achieve the purpose for which we have contracted for services offered by ProMinute;

  • if we are obliged to do so by law or an instruction by a public authority or court; or

  • upon the sale of our business.

 

These third parties are required not to use your Personal Information other than to provide the products and services requested by ProMinute and may be bound by confidentiality agreements with regard to their use of such information. You expressly consent to the sharing of your Personal Information with our contractors and third party service providers for the sole purpose of providing products and services to you.

 

If our company or our assets are acquired by another company, that company will possess the Personal Information collected by us and it will assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy.

 

Regardless of any choices you make regarding your Personal Information (as described below), we may disclose your Personal Information if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to: (a) comply with relevant laws or to respond to subpoenas or warrants served on ProMinute; or (b) to protect and defend the rights or property of ProMinute or users of our Services.

 

4. Your California Privacy Rights

 

If you are a California resident, you may request and obtain from us, once a year, free of charge, certain information about the Personal Information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for their marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. This information would include a list of the categories of Personal Information that we shared and the names and mailing addresses of all third parties with which we shared Personal Information in the preceding calendar year. If you would like to make such a request, please submit your request to Customer Support.

 

5. Your Choices Regarding Your Personal Information

 

In line with applicable law, you have the right to be informed of your Personal Information processed by ProMinute, a right to rectification and/or correction, and a right of erasure and/or restriction of processing. You also have the right to receive from ProMinute a structured, common and machine-readable format of the Personal Information you provided to us.

 

Although ProMinute makes good faith efforts to provide individuals with access to their Personal Information, there may be circumstances in which ProMinute is unable to provide access, including but not limited to: where the information contains legal privilege, would compromise others' privacy or other legitimate rights, where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the Individual's privacy in the case in question or where it is commercially proprietary. If ProMinute determines that access should be restricted in any particular instance, we will provide you with an explanation of why that determination has been made and a contact point for any further inquiries. To protect your privacy, ProMinute will take commercially reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access to or making any changes to your Personal Information.

 

You can review and change your Personal Information by logging into the Service and visiting your account profile page.

 

You may also send us an email at questions@ProMinute.com to request access to, correct or delete any Personal Information that you have provided to us.

 

When you receive promotional communications from us, you may indicate a preference to stop receiving further communications from us and you will have the opportunity to "opt-out" by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the communication you receive or by contacting us directly (please see contact information below).


You may at any time change and/or withdraw your consent regarding any use or processing of your Personal Information, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing that was carried out prior to withdrawing it.

 

To this end, you may simply log onto your account, access your profile and make the desired changes or, should this option not be available, please contact our support team at questions@ProMinute.com.


Whenever you withdraw your consent, you acknowledge and agree that this may have a negative influence on the quality of the Website and/or the services we provide. You further acknowledge and agree that ProMinute shall not be held liable with respect to any loss and/or damage to your Personal Information if you choose to withdraw consent.

 

6. Children Under the Age of 13

 

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and its rules (collectively, “COPPA”) require us to inform parents and legal guardians (as used in this section, “parents”) about our practices for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information from children under the age of 13 (“children”). It also requires us to obtain verifiable consent from a child's parent for certain collection, use, and disclosure of the child's personal information.

This section only applies to children under the age of 13 and supplements the other provisions of this Privacy Policy. Only the other provisions of this Privacy Policy apply to teens and adults.

Information We Collect from Children

Children can access many parts of the Service and its content and use many of its features without providing us with personal information. However, some content and features are available only to registered users. In addition, we use certain technologies, such as cookies, to automatically collect information from our users (including children) when they visit or use the Service.

We only collect as much information about a child as is reasonably necessary for the child to participate in an activity and to interact with mentors and coaches, and we do not condition his or her participation on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary. 

Information We Collect Directly. A child must provide us with the following information to register with the Service: the child's first name and last name, email address, short bio and a parent's email address. We also require the child to create a member name and password. We may request additional information from your child, but this information is optional. We specify whether information is required or optional when we request it.

We enable registered users to communicate with others on or through this Service through text and video chat (“Social Features”). The nature of these features allows children to disclose personal information about themselves, including video recordings. We do not monitor or review this content before it is posted, and we do not control the actions of third parties with whom your child shares his or her information. We encourage parents to educate their children about safe internet use and to monitor their children's use of social features.

Automatic Information Collection. We use technology to automatically collect information from our users, including children, when they access and navigate through the Service and use certain of its features. The information we collect through these technologies may include: (i) persistent identifiers that can be used to recognize a user over time and across different websites and online services and (ii) information that identifies a device's location (geolocation information).

We may combine non-personal information we collect through these technologies with personal information about you or your child that we collect online.

How We Use Your Child's Information

We use the personal information we collect from your child to:

  • register him or her with the Service;

  • communicate with him or her about activities or features of the Service that may be of interest; and

  • allow mentors, coaches and other users of the Service to communicate with him or her.

We use the information we collect automatically through technology (see Automatic Information Collection) and other non-personal information we collect to improve our Service and to deliver a better and more personalized experience.

Our Practices for Disclosing Children’s Information

We do not share, sell, rent, or transfer children’s personal information other than as described in this section.

We may disclose aggregated information about many of our users, and information that does not identify any individual or device. In addition, we may disclose children's personal information:

  • To third parties we use to support the internal operations of our Service and who are bound by contractual or other obligations to use the information only for such purpose and to keep the information confidential.

  • If we are required to do so by law or legal process, such as to comply with any court order or subpoena or to respond to any government or regulatory request.

  • If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of ProMinute, our customers or others, including to:

  • protect the safety of a child;

  • protect the safety and security of the Service; or

  • enable us to take precautions against liability.

  • To law enforcement agencies or for an investigation related to public safety.

In addition, if we are involved in a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding or event, we may transfer the personal information we have collected or maintain to the buyer or other successor.

Social Features. The Service offers social features, including text and video chat, that enable children to communicate with others through the Service. We do not control the types of information your child can send or post through them. We encourage parents to educate their children about safety online and to carefully monitor their children's use of social features to ensure they do not disclose their personal information through them.
