Agents of Discovery Inc. Mobile App Terms of Service

Effective Date: March 21, 2023

1. INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Agents of Discovery Inc. Mobile App Terms of Service. This platform allows partners to create, manage, and publish location-based games (called “Missions”) in locations such as: schools or higher education (called “Formal Education”); parks, nature centres, and similar locations (called “Informal Education”); and retail outlets, business organisations, and other similar locations (called “For-profit and Nonprofit entities”). These definitions will hereinafter be referred to as “Partners”.

Partners use our content creation tool (called the “Mission Maker”) to publish to the Agents of Discovery Inc. mobile application (called the “Mobile App”) – these are collectively referred to as the “Platform”. Together, we are encouraging people of all ages across the globe to get active and engaged while discovering the world around them. We thank you for joining the Move to Play & Learn movement.

First, we want to go over the terms and conditions governing your use of the Mobile App (the “Terms of Service”). By using the Mobile App, you are agreeing to be bound by the Terms of Service. It is important you take the time to read the Terms of Service so you understand your obligations and responsibilities when using the Mobile App. Use of the Mobile App is also governed by Agents of Discovery Inc.’s Mobile App Privacy Policy and other relevant policies.

 

2. LICENCE

Agents of Discovery Inc. grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-commercial, and non-transferable licence to access and use the Mobile App only as expressly permitted under these Terms of Service.

Any waiver of any breach of this Agreement, by you or Agents of Discovery Inc., shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. Your rights and Agents of Discovery Inc.’s rights hereunder shall be cumulative, and any rights hereunder may be exercised concurrently or consecutively and shall include all remedies available even though not expressly referred to herein.

Agents of Discovery Inc. hereby disclaims all warranties and conditions with respect to the Platform and the Mobile App, including all implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and absence of errors, bugs, viruses, and/or mechanisms which may disable, damage or interfere with computer systems or networks.

You acknowledge that your use is at your sole risk and that Agents of Discovery Inc. shall not be liable for any damages of any kind related to your use of the Platform or Mobile App. Agents of Discovery Inc. makes  no representations about the suitability, reliability, availability, timeliness, and accuracy of the Platform or Mobile App or data therein for any purpose.

In no event will Agents of Discovery Inc. be liable to any party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, consequential, or other damages (including, but not limited to, lost profits, business interruption, loss of programs or data) without regard to the form of action and whether in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with this site, any content on or accessed through this site or any site service linked to, or any copying, displaying, or use thereof.

This disclaimer of liability applies to any damages or injuries caused by the Platform or Mobile App, including, without limitation, those damages or injuries occurring as a result of: (i) any error, omission, deletion, or defect in the content available on the Platform or Mobile App; or (ii) any failure of performance, error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer virus, communication line failure, theft or destruction of records, information or data, unauthorised access to, alteration of, or use of records, information or data, whether for breach of contract, tort, negligence, defamation, or any other cause of action. Agents of Discovery Inc. does not warrant or guarantee that access to the Platform or Mobile App will be uninterrupted or error-free.

Agents of Discovery Inc., its officers, employees, representatives, agents, attorneys, or directors on no occasion will be held liable for and indirect, consequential, incidental, or punitive damages in the event not limited to loss in profits or loss of data. Whatever the reason resulting in any claim may be, such as but not limited to personal injury, negligence, breach of contract, whether or not we were advised of the possibility of such damages at any time.

You acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, in no event will Agents of Discovery Inc. or its affiliates, including, without limitation, their respective officers, directors, employees, successors and assigns, be liable to you or any other party for any direct or indirect loss, damage, cost, expense or liability of any kind arising in any way out of or in connection with the availability, use, accuracy, reliance on, or inability to use the Platform or Mobile App.

 

20. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

Agents of Discovery Inc.’s liability to you shall be limited to any payments made by you to Agents of Discovery Inc. or $500, whichever is greater. This agreed-upon amount is not a penalty. Rather, it is your sole remedy alternatively to termination of service alone. The provisions of this paragraph apply no matter how the loss, damage, injury or other consequence occurs, even if due to the performance or non-performance by Agents of Discovery Inc. of its obligations under this Agreement or from negligence (active or otherwise), strict liability, violation of any applicable law or any other theory of liability or alleged fault on the part of Agents of Discovery Inc., its agents or its employees.

If you are dissatisfied with any portion of the Platform or Mobile App, or with any of these terms and conditions, your sole and exclusive remedy, unless liquidated damages above are lawfully awarded, is to discontinue using the Platform or Mobile App.

 

21. FORCE MAJEURE

You understand that the technical processing, functioning and transmission of the Platform or Mobile App may involve (i) transmissions over various networks; and (ii) changes to content to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices. Agents of Discovery Inc. assumes no responsibility for the deletion or failure to store content or other information. Agents of Discovery Inc. accepts no responsibility or liability for any interruption or delay of any service. Due to the potential for service interruption or outages on phone lines, internet service or mobile phone systems or other communication systems, none of which are within the control of the Agents of Discovery Inc., your connection to the Platform or Mobile App is not guaranteed. Users who use cable or Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) for their service are subject to additional consistency and reliability issues. Agents of Discovery Inc. is not responsible for, and shall have no liability with respect to, service interruption, outages or failure of customer’s telephone service.

To the extent Agents of Discovery Inc. may not, as a matter of applicable law, disclaim any implied warranty or limit its liabilities, the scope and duration of such warranty and the extent of Agents of Discovery Inc.’s liability will be the minimum permitted under such law. Some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. Check your local laws for any restrictions or limitations regarding the exclusion of implied warranties.

We shall not have any liability to you as a result of our delay or failure to perform our obligations under this Agreement as a result of reasons beyond our reasonable control including but not being limited to acts of God, war, riot, food, earthquake, epidemics or pandemics, actual or threatened terrorism, power failures, equipment failure, communications interruptions, fire, labor disputes, subcontractor or supplier delays or failures, strikes, utility failures, civil commotion, malicious damage, explosion, governmental actions, financial constraints and any other similar events.

 

22. TERMINATION

This Agreement is for an indefinite period of time and may be terminated by either party for any reason or no reason at all. Agents of Discovery Inc. reserves the right to suspend access to the Platform or Mobile App at any time for any reason.

If you no longer accept these Terms of Service, or any future modification to these Terms of Service, you must cease using the Platform and Mobile App. Continued use of the Platform or Mobile App indicates your continued acceptance of these Terms of Service.

 

23. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable, it shall not affect the enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms of Service, or any portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of these Terms of Service, and the remainder of these Terms of Service shall continue in full force and effect.

Following termination of these Terms of Service, limitations on Agents of Discovery Inc.’s liability and indemnification by you shall survive termination and continue to apply.
