Important
Please read these Terms carefully as they form a contract between you and GIGATIRES, LLC (“GigaTires”) that governs your access and use of: (a) this website (“Site”), and (b) services available through the Site (“Web Apps”) (collectively, the “Services”), for use in connection with purchasing products (“Products”) made available by GigaTires.
By accessing or using the Services, you agree that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms, as amended from time to time. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms and the Privacy Policy, you may not access or use the Services. If you are accessing or using the Services on behalf of a person or an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that person or organization and promising to GigaTires that you have the authority to bind that person or organization to these Terms (in which event, “you” and “your” will refer to that person or organization, as applicable). You may access and use the Services only in compliance with these Terms, and only if you have the power to form a contract with GigaTires and are not barred under any applicable laws from doing so.
What these Terms do not cover: Your purchase of the Products is governed by the Return/Refund Policy, and are subject to the Sales Terms.
No Warranties and Limited Liability; Arbitration: These Terms provide you with certain legal rights, but you may have other, additional legal rights, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Please note that GigaTires doesn’t provide warranties for the Services, and these Terms limit our liability to you. Please see Sections 3 and 4 for details. Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion of implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain damages or other rights, so those provisions of these Terms may not apply to you. These Terms require the use of binding arbitration to resolve disputes rather than jury trials or class actions. Please see Section 6 for details, including instructions to follow in order to opt out of binding arbitration and the class action waiver.
1. Use of Services and Accounts.
1.1 Use of and Access to Services; Open Source.
(a) Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms, GigaTires grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable right to access and use the Services online through the Web Apps. GigaTires reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to make necessary unscheduled deployments of changes, updates or enhancements to the Services at any time. We may add or remove functionalities or features, or suspend or stop the Services altogether, at any time, and without prior notice to you. You agree that GigaTires will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Services or any part of the Services.
(b) Certain portions of the Services contain open source software (“Open Source Components”) that are licensed under the terms of the applicable open source licenses. The terms of the applicable licenses of the Open Source Components take precedence over the terms of these Terms, only to the extent the terms of these Terms are not permitted by the applicable licenses of the Open Source Components.

Any suggestions, information or feedback provided by you to GigaTires regarding the Services or Products (including, without limitation, with respect to modifications, enhancements, improvements and other changes to the Services or Products or any ratings or reviews of the Services or Products) or materials you post or submit to the Services for review by the general public (each a “Submission” and collectively “Submissions”) is voluntary, and you hereby grant to GigaTires a world-wide, royalty free, irrevocable, transferrable, perpetual license to use (and authorize others to use) any Submission without restriction. GigaTires is not obligated to post or use any Submission provided by you, and GigaTires may, in its sole discretion, remove any Submission at any time.

1.6 Internet-Based Components
Some features of the Services may require connection to the Internet in order to function or third party products, such as mobile operating systems and mobile devices. Such features may result in the transfer of certain data over such connections, which may or may not be secure or encrypted. You are solely responsible for obtaining (and paying for) any necessary Internet access, communication carrier charges, and third party devices. GigaTires is not responsible for the availability of Internet connections or the security or integrity of data transmitted over such connections.
2. Term and Termination
These Terms will remain in effect so long as you continue to access or use the Services, or until terminated in accordance with the provisions of these Terms. Without limiting any other provisions in these Terms, GigaTires may: (a) suspend or terminate your rights to access or use the Services, or (b) terminate these Terms with respect to you if GigaTires in good faith believes that you have used the Services in violation of these Terms. Your account and the limited right to access and use the Services under Section 1 of these Terms will automatically terminate upon the termination of these Terms. Sections 1.3, 1.4, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 survive any expiration or termination of these Terms.
3. Warranty Disclaimer; Additional Use Limitations.
3.1 Warranty Disclaimers
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GIGATIRES AND ITS LICENSORS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS MAKE NO (AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL) REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION: (A) ANY WARRANTY THAT (I) THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, TIMELY, OR SECURE, OR (II) ANY DATA, INFORMATION OR RESULTS OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE, TIMELY OR ERROR-FREE, (B) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF ACCURACY, MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND (C) ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF ANY COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING, OR USAGE OF TRADE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE FOREGOING EXCLUSIONS. IN SUCH AN EVENT, SUCH EXCLUSION WILL NOT APPLY SOLELY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES AND ANY DATA, INFORMATION OR RESULTS OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND GIGATIRES DISCLAIMS, ANY AND ALL LOSS, LIABILITY, OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES AND ANY DATA INFORMATION OR RESULTS OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICES.
3.2 Third Party Services
GigaTires may provide the opportunity for you to use the Services to interface with services or applications provided by one or more third parties (“Third Party Services”). You decide which Third Party Services you want to interface with and can revoke consent at any time. In those instances where you consent to interface with a Third Party Service, GigaTires may exchange relevant information with the Third Party Service, which may include personal information. Once this information is shared with the Third Party Service, its use will be governed by the third party’s privacy policy and not by GigaTires’s Privacy Policy. Your use of any Third Party Service is subject to these Terms and any third party terms applicable to such Third Party Service. If you do not accept the third party terms applicable to a Third Party Service, do not use that Third Party Service. Providers of Third Party Services may change or discontinue the functionality or features of their Third Party Service. You should exercise your own independent judgment when reviewing and relying on information provided by a Third Party Service. GigaTires is not responsible if a Third Party Service communication management feature delays or prevents you from reviewing or sending a communication. GigaTires has no responsibility or liability for Third Party Services. GigaTires does not guarantee the accuracy, usefulness, safety, completeness, reliability, availability or timeliness of, or relating to, any Third Party Service. GIGATIRES DISCLAIMS, ANY AND ALL LOSS, LIABILITY, OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF ANY THIRD PARTY SERVICES.
4. Limitation of Liability
4.1 TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, GIGATIRES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICES, THESE TERMS, OR FROM ANY INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, OR OTHER SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE SERVICES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING. THIS SECTION 4 WILL BE GIVEN FULL EFFECT EVEN IF ANY REMEDY SPECIFIED IN THESE TERMS IS DEEMED TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OR IS OTHERWISE DEEMED UNENFORCEABLE. Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion or limitation of certain damages or other rights, so those provisions of these Terms may not apply to you.
5. Indemnification
You will indemnify, hold harmless and defend GigaTires, its licensors and service providers from any and all claims, actions, proceedings, suits, liabilities, damages, settlements, penalties, fines, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses) incurred by GigaTires arising out of or relating to: (a) your breach of any term or condition of these Terms, (b) your use or misuse of the Services, or (c) violations of any laws, rules or regulations applicable to your use of the Services. GigaTires reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify GigaTires, and you will cooperate with GigaTires’s defense of such claims. You will not settle any such claim without GigaTires’s prior written consent.
6. Disputes and Arbitration
6.1 Any dispute or claim relating in any way to these Terms or your access or use of any Services will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court, including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages, and must follow the provisions of these Terms as a court would.
6.2 To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to GigaTires, Attention: Legal Department at PO BOX 7018, Cotati, CA 94931. Your notice to GigaTires must: (a) provide your name, mailing address, and email address, (b) describe the dispute, and (c) state the relief you are requesting. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. GigaTires will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $1,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. GigaTires will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person at either a mutually agreed location or the state (or province) in which you purchased the Product.
6.3 WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS. We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If, for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in a state or federal court in Delaware to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
6.4 OPTION TO OPT-OUT. To opt out of the arbitration and class-action waiver terms in this Section 6, you must notify GigaTires in writing within 30 days of the date that you first accept these Terms (unless a longer period is required by applicable law). You must mail your written notification to GigaTires, Attention: Legal Department to the address in Section 6.2. Subject to Section 6.5, if you do not notify GigaTires as outlined in this Section 6.4, you agree to be bound by the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions herein, including such provisions in any Terms revised after the date of your first acceptance.
6.5 You may reject any change GigaTires makes to Section 6 (except address changes) by sending GigaTires written notice within 30 days of the change by mail to the address in Section 6.2. If you do, the most recent version of Section 6 before the change you rejected will apply. It is not necessary to send GigaTires a rejection of a future change to this Section 6 if you had properly opted out of the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions in this Section 6 within the first 30 days after you first accepted these Terms.
7. General Legal Terms and Contact Information.
7.1 Changes to Terms
GigaTires may change these Terms at any time by posting the amended Terms on the Site. Any changes to these Terms will be effective upon posting the revised version of these Terms on the Site (or such later effective date as may be indicated at the top of the revised Terms). We may also notify you via the Services or by email to the email address associated with your Account. If you do not agree to the Terms as amended, you must stop using the Services and cancel your account. Your continued use of the Services after the date the amended Terms are posted will constitute your acceptance of the amended Terms.
7.2 Governing Law
You agree that these Terms, and any claim, dispute, action, or issue arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Products and Services is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to conflict of laws principles. Unless a dispute would be governed by an applicable arbitration clause, you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in or for Delaware for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GigaTires may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its (or its licensors or service providers’) confidential information and intellectual property rights or to prevent loss of data or damage to its servers in any court of competent jurisdiction.

7.5 No Waiver

7.6 Severability
Each provision in these Terms constitutes a separate and distinct provision severable from all other provisions. If any provision (or any part of a provision) is unenforceable under or prohibited by any present or future law, then the unenforceable provision (or part of the unenforceable provision) is amended to be in compliance with such law, while preserving the intent of the original provision to the extent possible. Any provision (or part of a provision) that cannot be amended will be severed from these Terms, and all the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.

These Terms and any associated rights or obligations may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by you without GigaTires’s prior written consent. These Terms may be assigned by GigaTires without restriction. These Terms are binding upon any permitted assignee.
