Terms of Use for Design

Last revised: February 2017

The website located at http://www.techhelpla.com (the “Site”) is a copyrighted work belonging to Tech Help LA, (“Tech Help LA”, “us”, and “we”). Certain features of the Services or Site may be subject to additional guidelines, terms, or rules, which will be posted on the Service or Site in connection with such features. To the extent such terms, guidelines, and rules conflict with these terms of use, these terms of use shall govern.

These terms of use (“Agreement”) set forth the legally binding terms for your use of the Site and Services (whether as a Customer or as a Designer). By registering for Services, you are accepting this Agreement and you represent and warrant that you have the right, authority, and capacity to enter into this Agreement. You may not access or use the Site or Services if you are not at least 18 years old. If you do not agree with all of the provisions of this Agreement, you cannot use the Services.

In case you are located in the United States this Agreement requires the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions, and also limits the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute.

1. Service

1.1 General.

Tech Help LA provides an online platform that helps connect customers who wish to purchase designs (“Customers”) and designers who wish to provide such designs (“Designers”), including, for example, through Design Contests, the Ready-made Design Store, and the Project Service (each as defined below and collectively, the “Services”). “User” means any user of the Site or Service, and may be a Designer or a Customer. If you are a User, the provisions in this Agreement regarding Users apply to you. If you are also a Customer, further the provisions in this Agreement regarding Customers apply to you. If you are also a Designer, further the provisions in this Agreement regarding Designers apply to you. “Sold Design” means the applicable winning Design Concept, purchased Design Template (and any customized version thereof), or the design sold under the Project Service. “Sale” means the applicable sale. “IPR” means all trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, mask work rights, patents and other intellectual property rights recognized by the laws of any country.

1.2 Design Contest.

(a) Customer may create a design contest (“Design Contest”) by creating a design brief (“Design Brief”), paying the Customer Payment and following the other instructions on the Site. The Design Brief must clearly specify the requirements for the Design Contest, such that Designers clearly know the rules and criteria on which their Design Concepts will be judged. There are currently two types of Design Contests: (1) the default Pre-Paid Contest and (2) the Guaranteed Contest. Designers invited by Tech Help LA (in Tech Help LA’ sole discretion) to enter a Design Contest may submit design concepts (“Design Concepts”) in the format specified by Tech Help LA by following the instructions on the Site. Design Concepts must comply with the Design Brief. (b) For Guaranteed Contests, Customer must select one or more winning Design Concepts by a certain time specified by Tech Help LA. If no winner is selected in the qualifying round of a Guaranteed Contest, Tech Help LA will retain the Customer Payment, Tech Help LA will distribute the Designer Fee equally among the Designers who participated in the Guaranteed Contest and who have won a Design Contest in the past and who have not breached this Agreement, and Customer will have no right to a refund or to use the Design Concepts. If no winner is selected in the final round of a Guaranteed Contest, Tech Help LA will retain the Customer Payment, Tech Help LA will distribute the Designer Fee equally among the finalists who satisfy criteria determined by Tech Help LA’ in its sole discretion, in the final round of the Guaranteed Contest, and Customer will have no right to a refund or to use the Design Concepts. (c) For Pre-Paid Contests, Customer must select one or more winning Design Concepts by the time the Pre-Paid Contest closes. Customer may withdraw Pre-Paid Contest (but not a Guaranteed Contest) for a refund of the Customer Payment before entering the final round and before the close of the Pre-Paid Contest. Customer may additionally seek a refund of the Customer Payment for a Pre-Paid Contest (but not a Guaranteed Contest) at any time up to 60 days after the date of payment for the Pre-Paid Contest, but only if finalists were not chosen by Customer. (d) For the avoidance of doubt, Customer has no right or license to use any Design Concepts other than the Sold Design. Customer may not: (a) run a Design Contest if Customer is tendering the creation of the same design through a service other than the Site (this Section (a) does not apply to customers located in the EEA); (b) allow or request Designers to submit Design Concepts to Customer via any means other than via the Site; and (c) collude in relation to the awarding of a winner in a Design Contest or awarding a separate account held by Customer as the successful Designer in a Design Contest. Customers and Designers must deal on an arm’s length basis Customer may not cancel any Design Contest for the purpose of contracting separately with a Designer who Customer meets through the Site which results in Customer avoiding paying Tech Help LA any Customer Payment or any fees and charges of Tech Help LA. (e) Some jurisdictions provide Customer certain mandatory statutory rights (e.g., right to supplementary performance (e.g., rectification or replacement), right for a refund, right to withdrawal, right to reduce the price and right to damages in case the Design Concepts are defective) (collectively, “Mandatory Statutory Rights”) which remain unaffected.

1.3 Ready-made Design Store.

(a) Designers may list design templates (“Design Templates”) for sale in Tech Help LA’s Ready-made Design Store (“Ready-made Design Store”), by creating a listing, uploading the Design Template (in the file format specified by Tech Help LA), and following the instructions on the Site. Tech Help LA reserves the right to modify and/or remove any Design Templates in its sole non-discriminatory discretion (including any Design Template similar to other Design Templates on the Site or other websites, or does not meet Tech Help LA quality standards). Tech Help LA will set and may modify the selling price of any Design Template. If Designer does not agree with any modifications or pricing, then Designer may remove the Design Template from the Ready-made Design Store. During the time a Design Template is listed for sale in the Ready-made Design Store, Designer hereby grants Tech Help LA the exclusive right to market and sell the Design Template (and designs based on the Design Template) and will not market or sell the Design Template (or designs based on the Design Template) other than through the Site. (b) Once a Customer purchases a Design Template, Customer may request (in which case the Designer must provide) up to two rounds of customizations to the Design Template for the purposes of inserting Customer’s brand name or making minor customizations to the Design Template itself. Designer may refuse to make customizations which are in addition to the forgoing. Designer must deliver each required round of customizations to Customer within 24 hours after receiving Customer’s requests, otherwise Tech Help LA may (upon Customer’s request and in Tech Help LA’ discretion) cancel the sale of the Design Template to the Customer or perform the customizations itself or through its subcontractors, in which case, Designer will forfeit 30% of the Designer Fee for such sale (or a lesser amount if required under applicable law for customers located in the EEA). Customer will be deemed to have accepted the resulting design unless the design does not include the requested customizations and Customer provides notice of rejection to Tech Help LA and Designer within 48 hours of delivery of the design. If the cause for the notice of rejection is not cured within 30 days of the notice of rejection (and for customers located in the EEA you’ve exhausted your Mandatory Statutory Rights), Customer will be refunded the Customer Payment and Customer will have no right to use the Design Template or resulting design in any way. If Tech Help LA determines, in its sole and absolute discretion that a delivered Design Template (including customizations made by the Designer) complied with the requirements of this Section 1.3 and Customer’s rejection was therefore unwarranted, then Tech Help LA may determine that the Design Template and resulting design is instead accepted by Customer and such determination is final and conclusive. (c) Some jurisdictions provide Customer certain Mandatory Statutory Rights (defined in Section 1.2(e) above) which remain unaffected.

1.4 Project Service.

(a) Customers and Designers can work with each other on design projects by creating a 1-to-1 project (“Project Service”) and following the directions on the Site. Designer can create invoices to request payments from Customer. Customer can pay invoices and reserve the right to accept designs before they are considered Sold Designs. If designs have not been accepted by Customer, Customer may request a refund of the Customer Payment, at any time up to 60 days after the date of invoice payment, or 10 days after delivery of Designs, whichever happens sooner. In addition to the foregoing, customers located in the EEA may request a refund of the Customer Payment, at any time up to one year starting with the accrual of the claim. After Designer has delivered the designs, Customer will be deemed to have accepted the designs unless Customer provides notice of rejection to Tech Help LA and Designer within 10 days of delivery of the designs. If the cause for the notice of rejection is not cured within 30 days of a rejection notice, Customer will be refunded the Customer Payment and Customer will have no right to use the resulting design in any way. Tech Help LA reserves the right in its sole discretion to restrict Customers or Designers from creating projects using Project Services and to remove projects. Tech Help LA has no involvement in managing or providing the design to Customer and is simply providing the ability for Designer to store files for, work with, invoice and receive payments from Customers, and for Customers to request services from, view designs, provide feedback on projects and pay Designers, using Project Services. (b) Some jurisdictions provide Customer certain Mandatory Statutory Rights (defined in Section 1.2(e) above) which remain unaffected.

2. Design Transfer Agreement.

The Design Transfer Agreement, available at http://Tech Help LA.com/legal/design-transfer- agreement, sets forth the legally binding terms between the applicable Designer and Customer for the sale of a Sold Design through the Design Contest or Ready-made Design Store. The Design Transfer Agreement, available at http://Tech Help LA.com/legal/design-transfer- agreement, sets forth the legally binding terms between the applicable Designer and Customer for the sale of a Sold Design through the Project Service.

3. Payment Terms.

The following terms apply to Customers who have purchased a Sold Design and Designers who have sold a Sold Design.

3.1 Payment and Delivery.

For the Design Contest and Ready-made Design Store, (a) Customer will pay the Customer Payment to Tech Help LA and Tech Help LA will pay Designer the Designer Fee (subject to first receiving payment from Customer), and (b) Designer will upload the Sold Design and Tech Help LA will deliver the Sold Design to Customer, in a format specified by Tech Help LA. For the Project Services, (1) Designer will upload the Design and if Customer accepts the Design as described above, then (2) Customer will pay the Customer Payment and Tech Help LA will pay Designer the Designer Fee (subject to first receiving payment from Customer). The “Customer Payment” means (i) the price selected by Customer when Customer created a Design Contest as set forth at http://Tech Help LA.com/pricing; or (ii) the listed price for the Sold Design in the Ready-made Design Store; or (iii) the invoiced price for the Sold Design issued through the Project Service by Designer to Customer. The “Designer Fee” means the Customer Payment, minus the fees and charges imposed by Tech Help LA as set forth at http://help.Tech Help LA.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1554727-how-much-does-1-to-1-projects-costand minus any applicable Taxes.

3.2 Refunds.

Refunds will be paid to Customer using the same payment methods Customer used to remit the Customer Payment to Tech Help LA or via any other method specified by Tech Help LA from time to time. If a refund is paid to Customer or a credit card charge back occurs, then: (a) Designer must reimburse Tech Help LA for the applicable Designer Fee (the reimbursement will first be paid out of any Tech Help LA Credits held by Designer and any remaining debt will be payable by Designer to Tech Help LA on demand); and (b) Customer will initially receive the amount of the Customer Payment, less the Designer Fee and will receive the Designer Fee only once the Designer Fee is reimbursed by Designer to Tech Help LA. Tech Help LA may refund Customers for the following reasons: (i) the Sold Design is Defective; (ii) Tech Help LA is required by law or considers that it is required by law to do so; (iii) Tech Help LA determines that issuing a refund to Customer will avoid any dispute or increased costs to Tech Help LA; (iv) Tech Help LA issues the refund to Customer in accordance with any refund policy specified by Tech Help LA from time to time; (v) the order placed (or request made) by Customer is found to be fraudulent; (vi) Customer placed a duplicate order (or request) in error; or (vii) in Tech Help LA’ sole opinion, Tech Help LA considers that it is likely that the refund is necessary to avoid a credit card charge back. A Sold Design will be deemed to be “Defective” if: (i) Customer and Designer agree it is defective and notify Tech Help LA of this fact; (ii) the Sold Design is subject to a third party claim that the Sold Design infringes/misappropriates such party’s IPR, that is not frivolous; (iii) does not comply with the requirements set in a Design Brief in a Design Contest or with the requirements set in a customization request for a Design Template or Project Service request.

3.3 Tech Help LA Credits.

(a) The Designer Fee will be paid to Designer in Tech Help LA Credits. There are two types of Tech Help LA Credits: (i) Currency Credits, which are equivalent to one unit of the local currency based on the location of the Site (e.g., if you are using the U.S. site, the Currency Credit would be equivalent to U.S. $1; if you are using the German site, the Currency Credit would be equivalent to 1Euro; etc.); and (ii) Bonus Credits, which are not equivalent to any currency. Tech Help LA Credits are not legal tender and cannot be traded or sold to third parties. Tech Help LA Credits are only exchangeable for Sold Designs. The balance of any Tech Help LA Credits held by you may be reduced at any time by Tech Help LA for charge-backs or refunds, or for any amount owing by you to Tech Help LA, to compensate Tech Help LA for any loss it has suffered as a result of any breach of this Agreement by you. Provided that you are not in breach of this Agreement and your Account is not suspended, you may at any time (and Tech Help LA may require you to at any time) convert Currency Credits which you hold in your Account to U.S. dollars or any other currency specified by Tech Help LA from time to time. Any such payments will be subject to any minimum or maximum withdrawal amounts set by Tech Help LA, to address, for example, charge-backs and refunds. Tech Help LA is not an escrow service and does not hold property on behalf of any person. All amounts deposited or paid to Tech Help LA are property of Tech Help LA and Tech Help LA may use those funds as it sees fit. The only rights that you have to receive payment of any amounts held by Tech Help LA are as set out in this Section 3.3. Upon termination of this Agreement, all Bonus Credits will be cancelled immediately and you may convert Currency Credits described above.

3.4 General Payment Terms.

All payment will be in the local currency based on the location of the Site. You agree that you are responsible for the collection and/or payment of all Taxes which you may be liable for in any jurisdiction arising from your sale or purchase of any Sold Designs via the Site. Tech Help LA is not responsible for collecting, reporting, paying, or remitting to you any such Taxes. “Taxes” means any applicable duties, sales taxes, GST, VAT or other taxes which may be levied in respect of a transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

Designers sell and Customers buy Sold Designs at their own risk. You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction with any other User. Your interactions with other users are solely between you and such User and Tech Help LA will not be responsible for any loss or damage incurred as the result of any such interactions (excluding those directly due to Tech Help LA’ acts or the Services). If there is a dispute between you and any User, we are under no obligation to become involved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tech Help LA will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services described in this Agreement.

4.2

You hereby release and forever discharge us (and our officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns) from, and hereby waive and release, each and every past, present and future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, liability, action and cause of action of every kind and nature (including personal injuries, death, and property damage), that has arisen or arises directly or indirectly out of, or relates directly or indirectly to, any interactions or transactions of you with, or act or omission of you in relation to other Users, including Customers and Designers and Third Party Sites & Ads (excluding those directly due to Tech Help LA’ acts or the Services). This Section 4.2 does not apply to customers located in the EEA.

If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542 in connection with the foregoing, which states: “a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

5. Accounts.

In order to use the Service, you must register for an account with Tech Help LA (“Account”) and provide certain information about yourself as prompted by the Site registration form. You represent and warrant that: (a) all required registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; and (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you agree to provide Tech Help LA with identification documents (including copies of IDs, passports or drivers licenses) which Tech Help LA requests from you from time to time for the purposes of verifying your identity. You may delete your Account at any time, for any reason, by calling Customer Support at the contact number in Section 14.5. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account login information and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Account.

You hereby represent and warrant that your User Content does not violate the Acceptable Use Policy (defined below). You may not state or imply that your User Content is in any way provided, sponsored or endorsed by Tech Help LA. Because you alone are responsible for your User Content (and not Tech Help LA), you may expose yourself to liability if, for example, your User Content violates the Acceptable Use Policy. Tech Help LA is not obligated to remove any Design Contests, Design Concepts, Design Templates, or Reviews from the Site unless required by applicable Law. Tech Help LA is not obligated to backup any User Content and User Content may be deleted at any time. You are solely responsible for creating backup copies of your User Content if you desire.

You agree to irrevocably waive (and cause to be waived) any claims and assertions of moral rights or attribution with respect to your User Content (this sentence does not apply to customers located in the EEA).

12.1

The Site and Services are provided “AS-IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” and we (and our suppliers) expressly disclaim any warranties and conditions of any kind, whether express or implied, including the warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, or non-infringement.

With regard to companies, the warranty period is limited to twelve (12) months. An additional warranty is only provided if this has been expressly agreed.**

13. Limitation on Liability.

13.1

In no event shall we (and our suppliers) be liable to you or any third party for any lost profit or any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special or punitive damages arising from or relating to this Agreement or your use of, or inability to use, the Site or Services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Access to, and use of, the Site and Services are at your own discretion and risk, and you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data resulting therefrom. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, our (and our suppliers’) liability to you for any damages arising from or related to this Agreement (for any cause whatsoever and regardless of the form of the action), will at all times be limited to the greater of (a) fifty us dollars ($50) or (b) amounts you have paid Tech Help LA in the prior 12 months (if any). The existence of more than one claim will not enlarge this limit.

Tech Help LA is liable without limitation for (i) damages caused intentionally or with gross negligence by Tech Help LA, its legal representatives or executive staff and other assistants in performance; (ii) personal injury, damage to health and death caused intentionally or as a result of gross negligence on the part of Tech Help LA, its legal representatives or assistants in performance, and (iii) damages caused by the absence of warranted characteristics and for damages relating to product liability.

If Tech Help LA breaches its primary obligations through simple negligence, then its ensuing liability shall be limited to the amount which was foreseeable by Tech Help LA at the time the respective service was performed.

14. General.

14.1 Changes to Terms of Use.

This Agreement (including pricing terms) is subject to occasional revision, and if we make any substantial changes, we may notify you by sending you an e-mail to the last e-mail address you provided to us (if any) and/or by prominently posting notice of the changes on our Site.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed solely and exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of California, USA without giving effect to any law that would result in the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

(B) UNITED STATES.

If you located are in the United States, the following applies to you. Please read this carefully. It affects your rights.
