Date last modified: August 21, 2023

Welcome to Whirlpost, LLC.’s (“Whirlpost”) website!

Whirlpost’s website (hereinafter referred to as the “Website”) is designed to provide you with high quality digital journals to write online.

The Website is owned by Whirlpost. These Terms & Conditions of Use (this “Agreement”) apply to all of the products, services and websites offered by Whirlpost, the mobile or tablet versions thereof, any Whirlpost software, and any applications created by Whirlpost whether available through a social networking site or its subsidiaries or affiliated companies (collectively, the “Service”). Please note that the availability of any Whirlpost applications on a social networking site, mobile or tablet device, internet television or other technology platform does not indicate any relationship or affiliation between Whirlpost and such social networking site, mobile or tablet device, or internet television or other technology platform.

PLEASE READ THIS TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE WEBSITE.

1. Acceptance of Terms

This Agreement sets forth legally binding terms for your use of the Website. By using the Website, you agree to be bound by this Agreement, whether you are a “Visitor” (which means that you simply browse the Website) or you are a “Member” (which means that you have registered on the Website as a user). If you do not accept the terms of this Agreement, you should leave the Website and discontinue use of the Service immediately. We may modify this Agreement from time to time, and such modification shall be effective upon its posting on the Website. You agree to be bound by any modification to this Agreement when you use the Website after any such modification is posted; it is therefore important that you review this Agreement regularly.

2. General Registration Requirements

If you wish to become a Member, communicate with other Members and otherwise make use of the Service, you must read this Agreement and indicate your acceptance during the registration process.

You also agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the registration form available on the Website (the “Registration Data”) and (b) maintain and promptly update your Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Whirlpost reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof) at any time. Use of the Service and membership on the Website is void where prohibited.

Any dealings with third parties included within or on the Website involving the delivery of and payment for goods and services, or any other terms, conditions, warranties, or representations associated with such third parties, are solely between you and that third party. Whirlpost is neither responsible nor liable for any part of such dealings or promotions. Any reference to any third party or the products or services of any third party on the Website does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation of such third party or the product or services of such third party by Whirlpost or any of its employees, officers, independent contractors, agents or other representatives. Any reference to any third party on the Website is provided to you for informational purposes only. Whirlpost encourages you to conduct your own research and due diligence regarding such third parties and their products and services.

Our Website may contain links to other sites owned by third parties (i.e. advertisers, affiliate partners, strategic partners, or others). We are not responsible for examining or evaluating, and we do not warrant the products or offerings of, any of these businesses or individuals, or the accuracy of the content of their website. Whirlpost does not assume any responsibility or liability for the actions, product, and content of any such website.

Whirlpost reserves the right in its sole discretion to immediately suspend and/or terminate access to the Service or the Website by any user who is alleged to have infringed on the intellectual property rights of Whirlpost or of a third party, or otherwise violated any intellectual property laws or regulations. Whirlpost’s policy is to investigate any allegations of copyright infringement brought to its attention.

Whirlpost reserves the right to terminate your account or your access to the Website immediately, with or without notice to you, and without liability to you, if Whirlpost believes that you have breached any of the terms of this Agreement, furnished Whirlpost with false or misleading information, or interfered with use of the Website or the Service by others.

When you close or de-activate your account or if your account is otherwise terminated, we have the right, but not the obligation, to store your personal information, settings, saved and completed classes, and teachers you have followed. Unless we have exercised our right to terminate your account, you can re-activate your account at any time by contacting us.

22. Membership

• No Sharing. Members of Whirlpost may not share, give or sell their password or username to any other person or entity. Excessive viewings or logins by any Member will be construed by Whirlpost as fraudulent use of the Website, which will result in the immediate cancellation of membership without refund. When becoming a Member you agree to take all actions possible to protect your username and password from fraudulent use.
• Fraudulent Use. Whirlpost reserves the right to cancel any membership it believes has been compromised, or is being used fraudulently, at its own discretion.
• Free Trial. We require that you provide a valid credit or debit card (“Payment Source”) at the time you register for a free trial to ensure that you have continued access to your membership after the expiration of the free trial period (“Free Trial”). Whirlpost will not bill your account until the Free Trial has expired and provided that you have not cancelled your account during the Free Trial period. You may only use a Free Trial once. Whirlpost reserves the right to terminate any account that is using or trying to use more than one Free Trial.
• Billing. Memberships are billed monthly. All memberships are renewed automatically until cancelled. If membership is terminated due to a violation of this Agreement, Whirlpost will not reimburse the Member for the remainder of any paid month, nor will reimbursements be made for membership cancellations prior to any monthly renewal date. Members may cancel their membership at any time. Membership must be canceled prior to the renewal date in order to end membership charges. At times, special prepaid membership packages will be available for purchase. Special prepaid memberships will be recurring and will renew automatically on the expiry date. Membership must be canceled prior to the renewal date in order to end membership charges.
• Pricing. When you purchase a membership subscription, you will initially be charged at the rate applicable at the time of your agreement to subscribe. If Whirlpost later increases the price of the subscription, Whirlpost will notify you. The increase will apply to the next payment due from you after the notice, provided that you have been given at least 10 days’ prior notice before the charge is made. If you are given less than 10 days’ prior notice, the price increase will not apply until the payment after the next payment due.

25. Exclusions and Limitations

Those who access or use the Website from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, in certain jurisdictions, some of the above limitations of liability may not apply to you; all other provisions of this Agreement remain in full force and effect.

26. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Whirlpost, its subsidiaries, affiliates, subcontractors, officers, directors, employees, consultants, representatives and agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from: (i) your use of and access to the Website; (ii) your violation of any term of this Agreement; (iii) your violation of any third party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right; or (iv) any claim that one of your submissions of Content caused damage to a third party. This defense and indemnification obligation will survive this Agreement and your use of the Website.

27. Purchases

Whirlpost may, in its sole discretion, choose to cancel or to not process your order.  This may occur when the product or service you wish to purchase is out of stock or has been mispriced, we suspect the request is fraudulent, or in other circumstances Whirlpost deems appropriate in its sole discretion.  Whirlpost reserves the right to verify your identity in order to process your order.  Whirlpost will either not charge you or will refund the charges for orders that we do not process or that we cancel.  Whirlpost reserves the right to correct any error in the stated full retail price. 

The Site may contain information about the availability of products or services.  In some instances, a product or service may be listed as in stock when the customer places the order, but at the time the order is processed the item is no longer available.  If this happens, Whirlpost will notify you by email and the item will be cancelled from your order. 

The return policy applicable to specific purchases is determined by us, or the participating merchant or vendor (each, a “Vendor”) on a case-by-case basis and will be identified for each particular product or service on such product page on the Site.  The applicable Vendor is solely responsible for processing all returns.  If a return policy is not stated on a product page, products are non-returnable, and all sales are final.

Whirlpost attempts to provide accurate descriptions of products and services offered on the Site; however, Whirlpost does not warrant that such descriptions are accurate, complete, reliable, or error-free.  If a third party product or service offered on the Site does not match the description on the Site, your sole remedy is to contact the applicable Vendor.

Whirlpost’s sole role is as a service provider for third party Vendors, and the applicability and compliance with any relevant law relating to any service or product is solely determined by and complied with by the applicable Vendor.  Vendors are solely responsible for the fulfillment of orders on the Site and for any and all bodily injury, illness, damages, claims, liabilities and costs suffered by or relating to you and the compliance with all laws.  You hereby knowingly waive and release Whirlpost from any and all injuries, liabilities, damages, claims and rights of any nature whatsoever arising from any act or omission of a Vendor in connection with the products or services, the provision of the services and products, and compliance by the Vendors with applicable law.

28. Additional Terms

We may also require you to follow additional rules, guidelines or other conditions in order to participate in certain promotions or activities available through the Website, to obtain certain premium Content through the Website, or for other reasons. These additional terms are part of this Agreement, and you agree to comply with them when you participate in those promotions, or otherwise engage in activities governed by such additional terms.

29. Modification and Discontinuation

We reserve the right at any time to modify, edit, delete, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently the Service or any of the Website (or any portion thereof) with or without notice. You agree that we will not be liable to you or to any third party for any such modification, editing, deletion, suspension or discontinuance of the Service or the Website.

30. Assignment

This Agreement and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Whirlpost without restriction.

31. Integration Clause

This Agreement together with the Privacy Policy and any other legal notices published by Whirlpost on the Website, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Whirlpost concerning the Website and governs your use of the Website and Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Whirlpost with respect to the Website and Service.

32. Waiver and Severability of Terms

The failure of Whirlpost to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of this Agreement remain in full force and effect.

33. Statute of Limitations

You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Website, the Service or this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

34. Governing Law and Venue

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. Any claim or dispute between you and Whirlpost that arises in whole or in part from the Website shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in San Francisco County, California.

You agree that: (a) the Website shall be deemed solely based in California; and (b) the Whirlpost Website shall be deemed a passive website that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over Whirlpost, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than California.

35. User-Generated Content

Users of Whirlpost Public Social Media Profiles (hereinafter referred to as the “Services”) may be permitted to upload, post or transmit (such as via a stream) or otherwise make available content through the Services including, without limitation, any text, photographs, user videos, sound recordings and the musical works embodied therein, including videos that incorporate locally stored sound recordings from your personal music library and ambient noise (“User Content”). Users of the Services may also extract all or any portion of User Content created by another user to produce additional User Content, including collaborative User Content with other users, that combine and intersperse User Content generated by more than one user. Users of the Services may also overlay music, graphics, stickers, Virtual Items and other elements provided by Whirlpost (“Whirlpost Elements”) onto this User Content and transmit this User Content through the Services. The information and materials in the User Content, including User Content that includes Whirlpost Elements, have not been verified or approved by us. The views expressed by other users on the Services (including through use of the virtual gifts) do not represent our views or values.

Whenever you access or use a feature that allows you to upload or transmit User Content through the Services (including via certain third party social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter), or to make contact with other users of the Services, you must comply with the standards set out at “Your Access to and Use of Our Services” above. You may also choose to upload or transmit your User Content, including User Content that includes Whirlpost Elements, on sites or platforms hosted by third parties. If you decide to do this, you must comply with their content guidelines as well as with the standards set out at “Your Access to and Use of Our Services” above. As noted above, these features may not be available to all users of the Services, and we have no liability to you for limiting your right to certain features of the Services.

You warrant that any such contribution does comply with those standards, and you will be liable to us and indemnify us for any breach of that warranty. This means you will be responsible for any loss or damage we suffer as a result of your breach of warranty.

Any User Content will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. You must not post any User Content on or through the Services or transmit to us any User Content that you consider to be confidential or proprietary. When you submit User Content through the Services, you agree and represent that you own that User Content, or you have received all necessary permissions, clearances from, or are authorised by, the owner of any part of the content to submit it to the Services, to transmit it from the Services to other third party platforms, and/or adopt any third party content.

If you only own the rights in and to a sound recording, but not to the underlying musical works embodied in such sound recordings, then you must not post such sound recordings to the Services unless you have all permissions, clearances from, or are authorised by, the owner of any part of the content to submit it to the Services

You or the owner of your User Content still own the copyright in User Content sent to us, but by submitting User Content via the Services, you hereby grant us an unconditional irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully transferable, perpetual worldwide licence to use, modify, adapt, reproduce, make derivative works of, publish and/or transmit, and/or distribute and to authorise other users of the Services and other third-parties to view, access, use, download, modify, adapt, reproduce, make derivative works of, publish and/or transmit your User Content in any format and on any platform, either now known or hereinafter invented.

You further grant us a royalty-free license to use your user name, image, voice, and likeness to identify you as the source of any of your User Content; provided, however, that your ability to provide an image, voice, and likeness may be subject to limitations due to age restrictions.

For the avoidance of doubt, the rights granted in the preceding paragraphs of this Section include, but are not limited to, the right to reproduce sound recordings (and make mechanical reproductions of the musical works embodied in such sound recordings), and publicly perform and communicate to the public sound recordings (and the musical works embodied therein), all on a royalty-free basis.
