As between you and Gardyn, you represent that you own (or have all rights necessary to grant Gardyn the rights below to) all User Content that you submit to the Gardyn Service, and that Gardyn will not need to obtain licenses from any third party or pay royalties to any third party in order to use such User Content. You grant Gardyn a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), transferable royalty-free license and right to use, copy, transmit, distribute, publicly perform and display (through all media now known or later created), edit, modify, and make derivative works from your User Content (including, without limitation, translations) for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to you.

The App Provider and its affiliates are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as related to your license to the App, and that, upon your acceptance of the Terms, the App Provider will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms as related to your license of the App against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a terrorist-supporting country; (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties; (iii) you are not an individual, or associated with an entity, designated under the UK’s Terrorist Asset-Freezing etc. Act 2010 (TAFA 2010); and (iv) you are not otherwise subject to or affected in any way by any national security or terrorism related rules whether applicable to you personally or to your location or other circumstances.

17. Safety Warnings

The Gardyn Home Device and Services are designed for nutritional, educational and entertainment purposes in the framework of a family household in an indoor location only.

The Device should be assembled and used only as directed in the manual and in the Application, including but not limited to the following instructions.  No electrical or electronic part should be opened and/or modified or damaged.  Only the original equipment from the OEM should be used.

There should always be enough water in the reservoir for the pump always to be completely immersed in water.  If this is not the case, water should be added to cover the pump and the pump should be stopped in manual mode in the meantime.

The Device should be firmly attached to the wall with the two safety straps included in the device, at the top of the columns and under the wood board.

The Device should be used in a dry location inside the house. Apart from the pump and its cord, no electrical or electronic part of the Device should be in contact with water or any other liquid. In case water or any liquid falls on the power supply or the LED lights or any other electronic/electrical part, the Device should be immediately unplugged, and the affectedparts replaced.

Never put water in the tank in excess of the Max level indicator. Always maintain the integrity of the reservoir and do not damage the reservoir structure in order to avoid any leakage.

Insert the yCubes properly in the yPods, and the yPods properly in the columns to avoid any spillage of water when the pump is on.

Gardyn declines any responsibility for any water spillage in filling or using the Device, and any damage resulting therefrom.

The Device should not be used by children without adult supervision. No pet or other animal should be left near the Device without proper supervision.

When growing plants, always use potable water and the nutrients provided by Gardyn. Do not add or pour or spray any substance that could become toxic in the reservoir, on the plastic parts or on the plants.

Always ensure a minimum of 20 minutes of watering per day to avoid  leaving water in the tank and possible resulting growth of algae. Always close all the slots and openings of the Eevice to avoid light reaching the inside of the Device and again promoting algae growth.

Keep your Gardyn Home in a place that is safe, dry and protected from pests, bugs and fungi. Clean the various parts of the Device on a regular basis to avoid any proliferation of pests.

Do not consume parts of plants that would not be edible or about which you may have doubts or any allergy.

If you have any doubt on the quality or the edible nature of a plant or plant thereof, abstain from consuming it and throw it away.

The consumption of produce grown on a Device is your own responsibility. Gardyn declines any responsibility in the consumption of plants grown on the Gardyn Device.

20. ARBITRATION CLAUSE & CLASS ACTION WAIVER – IMPORTANT – PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS MAY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. APPLICABLE TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. a) Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services or Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. You and Gardyn agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act (or equivalent laws in the jurisdiction in which the Gardyn entity that you have contracted with is incorporated) governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms and that you and Gardyn are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.

1. b) Exceptions and Opt-out. As limited exceptions to Section 20(a) above: (i) you may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights.

7879. c) Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org. If your claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic or video-conference hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds U.S. $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.

1. d) Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Gardyn will pay for all filing, administration and arbitrator fees and expenses if your Dispute is for less than U.S. $10,000, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute to be frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration, we will pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.

1. e) Class Action Waiver. YOU AND GARDYN AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 20 shall be null and void.

1. f) Effect of Changes on Arbitration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 25 “Modification”, if Gardyn changes any of the terms of this Section 20 after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or the date of Gardyn’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Gardyn in accordance with the terms of this Section 20 as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

1. g) Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 20(e) above, if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.
