By accessing or using DDP, you agree to be bound by these Terms, the DDP Authorized Agent Agreement, and our Privacy Policy.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE TERMS CONTAIN AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ANY DISPUTE, AND FURTHER CONTAIN A CLASS ACTION ARBITRATION WAIVER BY YOU. PLEASE READ SUCH PROVISIONS CAREFULLY, AND CONSIDER THEM BEFORE YOU USE OUR SERVICES.
In a nutshell: These are DDP's Terms for your use of its products and services.
Should you so choose, we may also act as your authorized agent to request access to or the deletion of your personal information with various businesses and organizations.
You may cancel our Services whenever you want.
Finally, as DDP is not acting as your attorney, DDP may provide your contact information to third party attorneys so that they may assist in the enforcement of your data rights; however, DDP will not do this without first obtaining your consent.
Subject to these Terms and our policies (including the DDP Authorized Agent Agreement), we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to use our Service, which is limited to the geographic territory of the United States. This license does not give you the right to scrape from our Services.

DDP may from time to time describe the data practices of third party organizations that use your data, and provide additional information regarding their businesses. In our content and community, there may also be links and posts that forward you to third party websites. We do not endorse or assume responsibility for any such third party websites, information, materials, products, or services. If you access a third party website, service, or content from DDP, you do so at your own risk and you agree that DDP has no liability arising from your use of or access to any third party website, service, or content. While we strive to provide accurate information about the privacy industry and third parties, we cannot guarantee that our information will always be accurate, complete or up to date.
In a nutshell: We are not responsible for third party sites and their content. Be careful when accessing them from DDP!
In a nutshell: We retain the right to refuse to provide our Services to anyone, and may terminate the relationship at any time. Even then, some provisions of these Terms will still apply to you.
Our Service and all content on DDP is provided on an "as is" basis without warranty of any kind, whether express or implied.
DDP specifically disclaims any and all warranties and conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DDP SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, INJURIES OR EXPENSES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM (A) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS THE SERVICE; (B) ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE SERVICE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF OTHER USERS OR THIRD PARTIES; (C) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR CONTENT UNAUTORIZED ACCESS OR USE OF OUR SYSTEMS, (D) OUR NEGLIGENCE.
In a nutshell: We are building the best service we can for you but we cannot promise it will be perfect. We are not liable for any damages. If you think we are, let us try to work it out like adults.
For any dispute you have with DDP, you agree to first contact us and try to resolve the dispute with us informally. If we need to contact you, we will do so at the email address on your DDP account. If we are unable to resolve the dispute with you informally, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms, the DDP Authorized Agent Agreement, and our Privacy Policy, through binding arbitration.
Arbitration is a more informal way to resolve our disagreements than a lawsuit. For instance, arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may involves more limited discovery, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Although the process is more informal, arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. By using our Services, you agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and DDP are each waiving the right to a trial by jury and to participate in a class action through litigation or arbitration. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this arbitration provision which shall survive termination of these Terms and the termination of your account.
Any arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under the Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect for the AAA, except as provided herein. You can find their forms at www.adr.org. Unless you and DDP agree otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted in the county (or parish) where you reside. Each party will be responsible for paying any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with AAA Rules.
The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision explaining the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts, including for matters related to data security, intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Service. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE THE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND DDP ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
NOTHING IN THESE TERMS OF SERVICE SHALL AFFECT ANY NON-WAIVABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS THAT APPLY TO YOU. To the extent that any claim, dispute or controversy regarding DDP or our Service is not arbitrable under applicable laws or otherwise, you and DDP both agree that any claim or dispute regarding DDP will be resolved exclusively in accordance with Section 10 of these Terms.
In a nutshell: Read these arbitration clauses carefully. If there is any dispute between you and DDP, arbitration will most likely apply, and you will waive certain rights to the normal court system.
These Terms and any dispute shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. To the extent the Arbitration provisions in Paragraph 9 do not apply, then the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with this agreement is New York County, New York, or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
In a nutshell: If arbitration does not apply, any lawsuit against DDP will have to be brought in New York, New York.
We reserve the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to you, including electronic legal notices. We may revise these Terms from time to time, always posting the most current version on our website. Your continued use ofDDP Services denotes your consent to be bound by the revisions or new Terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, please stop using DDP.
These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by DDP without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any amendments and additional agreements you may enter into with DDP (including the DDP Authorized Agent Agreement) shall constitute the entire agreement between you and DDP concerning the Service. If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid, then that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
A waiver of any provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other term, and DDP's failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
These Terms constitute a contract between you and DDP, who can be contacted at: ___@datadividendproject.com
