Terms of Service

Last Updated: April 16, 2024

Please read these Terms of Service (the “Agreement”) carefully. Your use of the Product (as defined below) or Services (as defined below) constitutes your consent to this Agreement.

This Agreement is between you and YAKKL, Inc. (“YAKKL”) (each, a “Party” and together, the “Parties”) concerning your use of (including any access to) the Product or Services. This Agreement hereby incorporates by this reference any additional terms and conditions posted by YAKKL through the Product or Services, or otherwise made available to you by YAKKL.

BY USING THE PRODUCT OR ANY SERVICES, YOU AFFIRM THAT YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

IF YOU ARE AN INDIVIDUAL ACCESSING OR USING THE PRODUCT OR ANY SERVICES ON BEHALF OF, OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF, ANY CORPORATION, PARTNERSHIP OR OTHER ENTITY WITH WHICH YOU ARE ASSOCIATED (AN “ORGANIZATION”), THEN YOU ARE AGREEING TO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF AND SUCH ORGANIZATION, AND YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ORGANIZATION TO THIS AGREEMENT. References to “you” and “your” in this Agreement will refer to both the individual using the Product or Services and to any such Organization.

THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT, AS FURTHER SET FORTH IN SECTION 17 BELOW, REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR ANY OTHER COURT PROCEEDINGS, OR CLASS ACTIONS OF ANY KIND.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, PLEASE DO NOT USE OUR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.

1. Changes

YAKKL may change this Agreement from time to time by notifying you of such changes by any reasonable means, including by posting a revised Agreement through the Product or Services, blog posts, or email. No such changes will apply to any dispute between you and YAKKL arising before we posted the revised Agreement incorporating such changes, or otherwise notified you of such changes.

Your use of the Product or Services following any changes to this Agreement will constitute your acceptance of such changes. The “Last Updated” legend above indicates when this Agreement was last changed. YAKKL may, at any time and without liability, modify or discontinue all or part of the Product or Services; charge, modify or waive any Fees required to use the Product or Services; or offer opportunities to some or all users.

2. Information Submitted Through the Product

Anonymized data will no longer identify you nor any specific individual, and will no longer be non-public information as defined by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and its regulations. Once such data is anonymized, you shall have no rights to encumber its use by YAKKL or by others. You represent and warrant that: (1) you have provided all required privacy notices to individuals, given individuals any required opt-out rights, and obtained any required consents from individuals, in order for you to enable YAKKL to receive such data, and anonymize and use and disclose such anonymized data, as described in the preceding sentences, and (2) any information you provide in connection with the Product or Services is and will remain accurate and complete, and that you will maintain and update such information as needed.

3. Product and Services

The “Product” means any of YAKKL's software, including application programming interfaces and Key(s) (as defined below), including code, instructions, data or other information, as may be made available under this Agreement by YAKKL, which are intended to permit a Customer Application (as defined below) to interface and communicate with certain third-parties such as financial institutions, web3 providers, cloud providers, KYC provider or YAKKL partners. "Service" means any of YAKKL's SaaS, database, backup, scaling, or multi-provider services. “Customer Application” means any of your software applications that incorporate, access or use the Product or Service to integrate with your software OR any YAKKL Product if used within the context of YAKKL End User Product.

YAKKL may make certain components of the Product available to you on a hosted basis, and may provide you with certain technical assistance and consulting services (collectively, together with such hosting, the “Services”).

YAKKL reserves the right, including without prior notice, to limit any aspect of or discontinue making available any Product or Service; to impose conditions on the honoring of any coupon, discount or similar promotion; and to refuse to provide any user with any Product or Service.

YAKKL may (but has no obligation to) monitor, evaluate or analyze your access to or use of the Product or Service. YAKKL may disclose information regarding your access to and use of the Product, and the circumstances surrounding such access and use, to anyone for any reason or purpose.

4. License

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, YAKKL hereby grants to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable and limited license, during the Term (as defined below), to access and use the given Product or Service to use or to develop and operate Customer Applications, solely in accordance with this Agreement and any documentation, usage limitations and instructions supplied by YAKKL.

6. Your Account/Key, Obligations, and Restrictions

Account/Key: If using our Product/Services requires an account, you agree to provide us with complete and accurate information and to keep the information current so that we can communicate with you about your account. We may need to send you emails about notable updates (like changes to our Terms of Service or Privacy Policy), or to let you know about legal inquiries or complaints we receive about the ways you use our Product/Services so you can make informed choices in response. We may limit your access to our Services until we're able to verify your account information, like your email address.

You're solely responsible and liable for all activity under your account. You're also fully responsible for maintaining the security of your account (which includes keeping your password and/or secret phrase secure). We're not liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of your acts or omissions.

Don't share or misuse your access credentials. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized uses of your account or of any other breach of security. If we believe your account has been compromised, we may suspend or disable it - depending on elected services.

If you would like to learn about how we handle the data you provide us, please see our Privacy Policy.

Obligations: a. You will not, and will not permit anyone else to, directly or indirectly:

You hereby assign and agree to assign to YAKKL all right, title and interest in and to any Feedback, and any improvements and modifications to the Product or Services or YAKKL's other products or services conceived or made as a result of such Feedback, including all intellectual property and other proprietary rights in the foregoing.

d. You will comply and/or cause your users to comply with the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement in connection with any access to or use of the Product and Services, and any other applicable specifications, documentation or usage limitations made available by YAKKL from time to time. You are responsible for acquiring and maintaining all software, hardware and services necessary to access or use the Product and Services.

e. YAKKL may, in its sole discretion, set "rate limits" change quotas and other limits on Product or Services usage, which may include the number of calls that you may make during a particular period, the minimum required time between any such calls, or the maximum file size that may be transmitted to, from or through the Product, or require pre-payments in connection with any of the foregoing. You will not (and will not permit or enable any third party to) exceed or circumvent any such quotas or limits, including by aggregating accounts or obtaining multiple Keys.

f. If developing a Customer Application, you shall require each end user of a Customer Application (“End User”), as a condition of accessing or using any Product or Service, to affirmatively accept a terms of service or end user license agreement with you (the “EULA”) consistent with this Agreement, including the required terms set forth in Attachment 1 (Required End User Terms), as updated by YAKKL from time to time.

7. Fees

a. The fees for the Product and Services (“Fees”) are as set forth at yakkl.com or as otherwise communicated to you by YAKKL, and are subject to change by YAKKL from time to time. You agree to pay to YAKKL the then-current Fees for your usage of the Product and Services. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, all Fees are non-refundable.

You may have the option to purchase prepaid credits (“Credits”) that may be redeemed to satisfy certain Fees that you may incur. The price for Credits, and details regarding the redemption of Credits to satisfy Fees, are as set forth at yakkl.com or as otherwise communicated by YAKKL, and are subject to change by YAKKL from time to time. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, all Credits are non-transferable and non-refundable, and shall expire one (1) year from the date of purchase. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, all Credits are non-transferable, non-refundable and have no cash value, and shall expire upon the earlier of (a) any expiration or termination of this Agreement, or (b) one (1) year from the date of purchase of the applicable Credits.

b. YAKKL may, in its sole discretion, provide you with a limited free trial for the Product and/or certain Services. Any such free trial will be subject to usage limits and other restrictions as specified by YAKKL during your registration process, or as otherwise communicated by YAKKL from time to time. You acknowledge and agree that your access to and use of the Product or applicable Services may be suspended or terminated without notice if your free trial expires, or you exceed any such limits or restrictions.

c. Except during a valid free trial as described above, you must maintain a valid payment mechanism on file with YAKKL in order to use the Product or Services. Accordingly, you may be asked to supply certain information.

  • If paying via credit card you will supply your credit card number and its expiration date, and your billing address. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO USE ANY PAYMENT CARD THAT YOU SUBMIT IN CONNECTION WITH A TRANSACTION. By submitting such information, you grant to YAKKL the right to provide such information to third parties for purposes of facilitating payments. Verification of information may be required before the acknowledgment or completion of any payment. By making a payment, you represent that the applicable Product or Services will be used only in a lawful manner. As part of receiving the Product or Services, you authorize YAKKL (either directly or through its affiliates, subsidiaries, or other third parties) to request and collect payment (or otherwise charge, refund, or take any other billing actions) from our payment provider or your designated payment mechanism, and to make any inquiries YAKKL or its affiliates may consider necessary to validate your designated payment account or financial information, in order to ensure prompt payment, including for the purpose of receiving updated payment details from your payment, credit card, or banking account provider (e.g., updated expiry date or card number as may be provided to us by your credit card company).
  • If paying via Crypto currency you will supply account information and any other information required to initiate and/or approve payment.

d. Automatic Renewal. To ensure uninterrupted service, recurring Paid Services are automatically renewed. This means that unless you cancel a Paid Service before the end of the applicable subscription period, it will automatically renew, and you authorize us to use any payment mechanism we have on record for you, like credit cards or PayPal, or crypto to collect the then-applicable subscription fee as well as any Taxes. By default, your Paid Services will be renewed for the same interval as your original subscription period, so for example, if you purchase a one-year subscription for an advanced security plan, you'll be charged each year for access for another 12-month period. We may charge your account up to one month before the end of the subscription period to make sure pesky billing issues don't inadvertently disrupt your access to our Services. The date for the automatic renewal is based on the date of the original purchase and cannot be changed. If you've purchased access to multiple services, you may have multiple renewal dates.

To review renewal dates and manage subscriptions for any other Paid Services, please consult the respective Service's website portal or contact the support team. You'll need to check your email (including in spam or other filters) for any reminder emails we might send you before your Paid Services renew.

e. Cancelling Automatic Renewal. You can manage and cancel any Paid Services at the respective Service's website portal.

If auto-renew is successfully turned off, you'll see the date on which your subscription expires. If you have multiple Paid Services to cancel, repeat this process for each subscription.

f. Fees and Changes. We may change our fees at any time in accordance with these Terms and requirements under applicable law. This means that we may change our fees going forward, start charging fees for Services that were previously free, or remove or update features or functionality that were previously included in the fees. If you don't agree with the changes, you must cancel your Paid Service.

g. No-Show Policy. We may have a “no-show policy” for some Paid Services that require your participation. For instance, this may mean that if you don't show up or are late for a scheduled session or training, you'll still be charged and won't be entitled to a refund.

h. Refunds. We may have a refund policy for some of our Paid Services, and we'll also provide refunds if required by law. In all other cases, there are no refunds and all payments are final.

i. The specified Fees and prices for Credits are exclusive of any federal, state, local or other taxes, and you will be solely responsible for such taxes;

8. Term

The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) begins on the Effective Date and continues until terminated in accordance with its terms. Unless mutually agreed otherwise in writing during the Term, you must stop accessing and using the Product and Services at the end of the Term.

9. Termination

YAKKL may suspend or restrict your rights in or access to the Product or Services, or immediately terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part at any time and without prior notice, including if YAKKL reasonably believes that you have violated this Agreement, or if your use of the Product or Services exceeds reasonable usage as determined from time to time by YAKKL in its sole discretion. Upon termination of this Agreement: (a) the licenses granted to you will immediately terminate; (b) you will immediately cease all access to and use of the Product and Services, and you acknowledge that you may no longer have access to any Customer Data; and (c) you will promptly return or permanently destroy all Confidential Information in your possession or control, and certify that you are in compliance with the foregoing. Sections 2, 4, 6(a)–(c) and (f), 7 (with respect to any amounts accrued during the Term) and 8–18 will survive termination of this Agreement.

We may ask you to make adjustments, restrict the resources or terminate your access to the Services, if we believe your website's, application's, or API's bandwidth usage burdens our systems (which is rare and typically only occurs when a website or application is used by multiple sites or applications), or (iii) terminate or deny access to and use of any of our Services to any individual or entity for any reason. We will have no obligation to provide a refund of any fees previously paid.

You can stop using our Services at any time, or, if you use a Paid Service, you can cancel at any time, subject to the Fees, Payment, and Renewal section of these Terms.

You will take all reasonable precautions necessary to ensure that Confidential Information is not disclosed by you (or your employees, agents or users) to any third party, using a degree of care that is at least as protective as the care you use to maintain the confidentiality of your own confidential information of similar importance (and in no case less than a reasonable degree of care).

YAKKL may also reasonably request (with your consent not to be unreasonably withheld) that you participate in other publicity activities, including providing a quote for an YAKKL press release and acting as a reference for other prospective YAKKL clients. You hereby grant to YAKKL and its designees a nonexclusive, fully paid-up, worldwide license to use and display your trade names, trademarks, and service marks (including logos) in connection with the foregoing.

17. Governing Law; Disputes

This Agreement is made and will be governed by the state and federal laws of Delaware, United States, excluding its choice of law principles. Any dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement will be resolved exclusively by arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, with the venue of any such arbitration proceeding to be in Cartersville, Georgia, United States, or such other location as may be agreed by the Parties. The arbitrator for any dispute will be selected according to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and will have experience with intellectual property licensing agreements. The award rendered by the arbitrator will be final, will identify a winning party, and judgment may be entered upon the award in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator will be shared by the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement in any forum having proper jurisdiction.

18. General

This Agreement constitutes the complete agreement between the Parties relating to the matters specified in this Agreement, and supersedes all prior representations or agreements, whether oral or written, with respect to such matters. This Agreement may be amended or superseded only by a writing signed by the Parties. If any provision (or any part thereof) is unenforceable under or prohibited by any present or future law, then that provision (or part thereof) is hereby amended, so as to comply with such law, while preserving to the maximum extent possible the intent of the original provision. Any provision (or part thereof) that cannot be so amended will be severed from this Agreement; and all the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect. Failure by either Party to complain of any act or failure to act of the other Party, or to declare the other Party in default, regardless of the duration of the default, will not constitute a waiver of rights under this Agreement. The word “including” means “including without limitation”. The word “or” means “and/or”. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (including via PDF copies or electronic signatures), all of which taken together are treated as a single original agreement. Notices to you (including notices of changes to this Agreement) may be made via posting to YAKKL's website or by e-mail (including in each case via links), or by regular mail. YAKKL will not be responsible for any failure to fulfill any obligation due to any cause beyond its control.

19. US Economic Sanctions

You may not use the Services if such use is inconsistent with U.S. sanctions law or if you are on any list maintained by a U.S. government authority relating to designated, restricted or prohibited persons.

20. Translation

These Terms were originally written in English (US). We may translate these terms into other languages, and in the event of a conflict between a translated version of these Terms and the English version, the English version will control.

21. Miscellaneous

The Agreement (together with any other terms we provide that apply to any specific Service) constitutes the entire agreement between YAKKL and you concerning our Services. If any part of the Agreement is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part is severable from the Agreement, and does not affect the validity or enforceability of the rest of the Agreement. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of the Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof.

YAKKL may assign its rights under the Agreement without condition. You may only assign your rights under the Agreement with our prior written consent.
