Our application terms apply to your access and use of Secret's mobile application (the "App") and other online products and services (collectively, the "Service").

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. For instance, we may need to change these Terms if we come out with a new feature or for some other reason. We will let you know if we have modified these Terms by indicating at the top of these Terms the date the document was last updated.
Whenever we make changes to these Terms, they are effective when the revised Terms are posted. If you continue to use the Service after the revised Terms have been posted, then you have accepted the changes to these Terms.

Secret grants you a limited, nonexclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to access and use the Service. However, the App may only be used on mobile devices that you own or control. The terms of this license will also govern any upgrades provided by Secret that replace and/or supplement the original App, unless such upgrade is accompanied by a separate license, in which case the terms of that license will govern.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any and all costs, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) we incur we in relation to, arising from, or for the purpose of avoiding, any claim or demand from a third party that your use of the Service or the use of the Service by any person using your account violates any applicable law or regulation, or the rights of any third party, and/or your violation of these Terms.
The software you download consists of a package of components, including certain third party software ("Third Party Software" and together with the App, the "Package") provided under separate license terms (the "Third Party Terms"). Your use of the Third Party Software in conjunction with the App in a manner consistent with the terms of these Terms is permitted, however, you may have broader rights under the applicable Third Party Terms and nothing in these Terms is intended to impose further restrictions on your use of the Third Party Software.
Secret reserves the right in its sole discretion to review, improve, modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service and/or any features, information, materials or content on the Service with or without notice to you. You agree that Secret will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification or discontinuance of the Service or any portion thereof.
By using the Service you agree that we may communicate with you electronically regarding administrative, security and other issues relating to your use of the Service. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing. To withdraw your consent from receiving electronic notice, please notify us at support@concierge.ly.
Secret may suspend and/or terminate your rights with respect to the Service for any reason or for no reason at all and with or without notice at Secret's sole discretion. Suspension and/or termination may include restricting access to and use of the App. If your rights with respect to the Service are suspended and/or terminated, you agree to make no further use of the Service during suspension or after termination. All of the terms of these Terms (excluding the license grant) will survive any termination or suspension.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH SECRET AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM SECRET.
In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms or the Service, you and Secret agree to consult and negotiate with each other and, recognizing your mutual interests, attempt to reach a solution satisfactory to both parties. If we do not reach settlement within a period of 60 days, then either of us may, by notice to the other demand mediation under the mediation rules of the American Arbitration Association in San Francisco, California. We both give up our right to litigate our disputes and may not proceed to arbitration without first attempting mediation, except that you and Secret are NOT required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief from the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents. Whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in court, you and Secret will not commence against the other a class action, class arbitration or other representative action or proceeding.
If settlement is not reached within 60 days after service of a written demand for mediation, any unresolved controversy or claim will be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association before a single arbitrator in San Francisco, California. The language of all proceedings and filings will be English. The arbitrator will render a written opinion including findings of fact and law and the award and/or determination of the arbitrator will be binding upon the parties, and their respective administrators and assigns, and will not be subject to appeal. Judgment may be entered upon the award of the arbitrator in any court of competent jurisdiction. The expenses of the arbitration will be shared equally by the parties unless the arbitration determines that the expenses will be otherwise assessed and the prevailing party may be awarded its attorneys' fees and expenses by the arbitrator. It is the intent of the parties that, barring extraordinary circumstances, arbitration proceedings will be concluded within 90 days from the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator may extend this time limit only if failure to do so would unduly prejudice the rights of the parties. Failure to adhere to this time limit will not constitute a basis for challenging the award. Consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, pre-hearing information exchange will be limited to the reasonable production of relevant, non-privileged documents, carried out expeditiously.
The license granted to you is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on any iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad that you own or control as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple App Store Terms of Service.
Secret is solely responsible for providing maintenance and support services with respect to the App. You acknowledge and agree that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.

However, you understand and agree that in accordance with these Terms, Secret has disclaimed all warranties of any kind with respect to the App, and therefore, there are no warranties applicable to the App, except those implied by law.

You and Secret acknowledge and agree that, in the event of any third party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Secret, and not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required under these Terms.
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; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Secret, Inc.The parties acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce any of the terms and conditions of these Terms against you as a third party beneficiary thereof.
