By downloading and using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated by reference (collectively, this “Agreement”). If you do not agree to any terms of the Agreement, please do not use the App.
THE SECTIONS BELOW TITLED “BINDING ARBITRATION” AND “CLASS ACTION WAIVER” CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. PLEASE READ THEM.
Capitalized terms not defined in these Terms of Use shall have the meaning set forth in our Privacy Policy.
1. RESTRICTIONS
The App is available only to individuals aged 13 years or older. If you are 13 or older, but under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you should review this Agreement with your parent or guardian to make sure that you and your parent or guardian understand it. If you are under the age of 13, you may use the App only with the consent of your parent or guardian.
We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to deny you access to the App, or any portion of the App, including by closing or disconnecting your account, without notice and without reason.
2. COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
Main is a unique social media aggregation application. Our community, like any community, functions best when our users follow a few simple rules. By accessing the App, you agree to comply with these community guidelines (the “Community Guidelines”) and that:
3. USER NAME; PASSWORD; UNIQUE IDENTIFIERS
If you wish to create an account on the App, you will be prompted to create a user name (“User Name”), a password (“Password”), and perhaps certain additional information that will assist in authenticating your identity when you logs-in in the future (“Unique Identifiers”). When creating your account, you must provide true, accurate, current, and complete information. Each User Name and corresponding Password can be used by only one user. You are solely responsible for the confidentiality and use of your User Name, Password, and Unique Identifiers, as well as for any use, misuse, or communications entered through the App using one or more of them. You will promptly inform us of any need to deactivate a Password or User Name, or change any Unique Identifier. We reserve the right to delete or change your Password, User Name, or Unique Identifier at any time and for any reason and shall have no liability to you for any loss or damage caused by such action.
4. FEES
Access to, and usage of, the App is free of charge.
The App may require data access, and the provider of such data access (e.g., network operator, wireless carrier, etc.) for your device may charge you data access and other fees in connection with your use of the App, including, without limitation, wireless carrier messaging and other communication, messaging, and data fees and charges, as applicable. You shall be responsible, at your sole cost and expense, for obtaining and paying for wireless access, and under no circumstances will Main be responsible for any such data access fees or charges in connection with your use of the App.
5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The App is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of the United States and foreign countries. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Main and our licensors exclusively own all right, title, and interest in and to the App, including all associated intellectual property rights. You will not remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, service mark, or other proprietary rights notices incorporated in or accompanying the App.
The App contains material, such as videos, photographs, software, text, graphics, images, sound recordings, and other material provided by or on behalf of Main (collectively referred to as the “Content”). The Content may be owned by us or third parties. The Content is protected under both United States and foreign laws. Unauthorized use of the Content may violate copyright, trademark, and other laws.
You may view all Content for your own personal, non-commercial use. No other use is permitted without the prior written consent of Main. Main and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Content. You must retain all copyright and other proprietary notices contained in the original Content. You may not sell, transfer, assign, license, sublicense, or modify the Content or reproduce, display, publicly perform, make a derivative version of, distribute, or otherwise use the Content in any way for any public or commercial purpose.
If you violate any part of this Agreement, your permission to access the Content and the App automatically terminates and you must immediately destroy any copies you have made of the Content.
The trademarks, service marks, and logos of Main (the “Main Trademarks”) used and displayed on the App are registered and unregistered trademarks or service marks of Main. Other company, product, and service names located on the App may be trademarks or service marks owned by others (the “Third-Party Trademarks,” and, collectively with Main Trademarks, the “Trademarks”). Nothing on the App should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use the Trademarks, without our prior written permission specific for each such use. Use of the Trademarks as part of a link to or from any site is prohibited unless establishment of such a link is approved in advance by us in writing. All goodwill generated from the use of Main Trademarks inures to our benefit.
Elements of the App are protected by trade dress, trademark, unfair competition, and other state and federal laws and may not be copied or imitated in whole or in part, by any means, including, but not limited to, the use of framing or mirrors. None of the Content may be retransmitted without our express, written consent for each and every instance.
If you decide to use the App, subject to your compliance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Main grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right for you to install, access, and use the App on your device solely for your personal use in connection with the services provided via the App. We reserve all rights in the App not expressly granted to you in this section.
6. USER CONTENT; LICENSES
The App may allow you to post and upload content (collectively, “User Content”). You expressly acknowledge and agree that once you submit your User Content for inclusion into the App, there is no confidentiality or privacy with respect to such User Content, including, without limitation, any personally identifying information that you may make available, except to the extent that you control such User Content via the privacy settings on the App. Where we have made settings available, we will honor the choices you make about who can see your User Content. If you opt to make your User Content private, it will only be accessible to people that you permit access. You will find various privacy settings on the App permitting you to adjust your User Content to different levels of privacy, based on categories (for example, the “social” setting shares all User Content you have designated in the “social” category and shares that User Content pursuant to your “social” permissions, while the “basic” setting shares only your “basic” User Content). YOU, AND NOT MAIN, ARE ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL YOUR USER CONTENT THAT YOU UPLOAD, POST, E-MAIL, OR OTHERWISE TRANSMIT VIA THE APP.
You agree to keep your User Content, such as your contact information and other profile information, up to date. We are not obligated to publish any User Content on our App and can remove it in our sole discretion, with or without notice.
You retain all copyrights and other intellectual property rights in and to your own User Content. You do, however, hereby grant us and our sublicensees a non-exclusive, royalty-free, freely sublicensable, perpetual license to modify, compile, combine with other content, copy, record, synchronize, transmit, translate, format, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and otherwise use or exploit (including for profit) your User Content and all intellectual property and moral rights therein throughout the universe, in each case, by or in any means, methods, media, or technology now known or hereafter devised.
If you submit User Content to us, each such submission constitutes a representation and warranty to Main that such User Content is your original creation (or that you otherwise have the right to provide the User Content), that you have the rights necessary to grant the license to the User Content under the prior paragraph, and that it and its use by Main and its content partners as permitted by this Agreement does not and will not infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property or moral rights of any person or contain any libelous, defamatory, or obscene material or content that violates our Community Guidelines.
7. COMMUNICATIONS WITH AND SUBMISSIONS TO US
Although we encourage you to e-mail us, we do not want you to, and you should not, e-mail us any content that contains confidential information. With respect to all e-mails and communications you send to us, including, but not limited to, ratings, feedback, questions, comments, suggestions, and the like, we shall be free to use any ratings data, ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in your communications for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to, the development, production, and marketing of products and services that incorporate such information without compensation or attribution to you.
8. NO WARRANTIES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MAIN DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE CONTENT AND ANY OTHER DATA OR INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE APP WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE APP MAY CONTAIN BUGS, ERRORS, AND OTHER PROBLEMS THAT COULD CAUSE SYSTEM FAILURES. CONSEQUENTLY, THE APP AND THE CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THAT THE APP OR CONTENT WILL OPERATE ERROR-FREE OR THAT THE APP, ITS SERVERS, OR THE CONTENT ARE FREE OF COMPUTER VIRUSES OR SIMILAR CONTAMINATION OR DESTRUCTIVE FEATURES.
WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTIES’ RIGHTS, AND FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE.
IN CONNECTION WITH ANY WARRANTY, CONTRACT, OR COMMON LAW TORT CLAIMS: (I) WE AND OUR LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOST DATA OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION RESULTING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO ACCESS AND USE THE APP OR THE CONTENT, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; AND (II) ANY DIRECT DAMAGES, NOT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PERSONAL INJURIES, THAT YOU MAY SUFFER AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE SITE, THE SERVICES, OR THE CONTENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO FIFTY UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US $50).
SOME JURISDICTIONS, INCLUDING THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES. THEREFORE, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS ON WARRANTIES IN THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
NOTHING IN THESE TERMS OF USE SHALL AFFECT ANY NON-WAIVABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS THAT APPLY TO YOU.
9. EXTERNAL SITES
The App may contain links to third-party websites (“External Sites”). These links are provided solely as a convenience to you and not as an endorsement by us of the content on such External Sites. The content of such External Sites is developed and provided by others. You should contact the site administrator or webmaster for those External Sites if you have any concerns regarding such links or any content located on such External Sites. We are not responsible for the content of any linked External Sites and do not make any representations regarding the content or accuracy of materials on such External Sites. You should take precautions when downloading files from all websites to protect your computer from viruses and other destructive programs. If you decide to access linked External Sites, you do so at your own risk.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the App may contain social media widgets, such as, by way of example, the Facebook “Share” button, allowing you to share Content from the App on third-party Apps such as Facebook. Your use of these widgets, and any Content sharing that you do on third-party Apps, is subject to the terms of use and privacy policies of the third-party Apps, such as Facebook’s terms of use and privacy policy.

We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control (at your expense) of any matter that is subject to indemnification under this section. In such case, you agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting our defense of such matter.
11. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS
The App is based in the United States and is only available to United States residents. We make no claims concerning whether the Content may be downloaded, viewed, or be appropriate for use outside of the United States.

Whether inside or outside of the United States, you are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with the laws of your specific jurisdiction.
12. MODIFICATION OF THE APP; TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT
We may change or discontinue any of our services or portions of the App with or without notice. We do not promise to store or keep showing any User Content that you have posted. Main is not a storage service. You agree that we have no obligation to store, maintain or provide you a copy of any content or information that you or others provide, except to the extent required by applicable law and as noted in our Privacy Policy.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to restrict, suspend, or terminate this Agreement and your access to all or any part of the App, at any time and for any reason without prior notice or liability. We reserve the right to change, suspend, or discontinue all or any part of the App at any time without prior notice or liability.

Main Technologies, Inc. Attention: Sumit Ahuja 666 Greenwich St. PH 25 New York, NY 10014 sumit@getmain.co
If you believe that your work has been copied on the App in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide our agent with notice in accordance with the requirements of the Act, including (i) a description of the copyrighted work that has been infringed and the specific location on the App where such work is located; (ii) a description of the location of the original or an authorized copy of the copyrighted work; (iii) your address, telephone number and e-mail address; (iv) a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; (v) a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf; and (vi) an electronic or physical signature of the owner of the copyright or the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest.
14. CONTROLLING LAW
This Agreement and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
15. BINDING ARBITRATION
In the event of a dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement, the Content, or the App (each, a “Dispute”), either party may elect to finally and exclusively resolve the dispute by binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). Any election to arbitrate, at any time, shall be final and binding on the other party. IF EITHER PARTY CHOOSES ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM IN COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL, EXCEPT EITHER PARTY MAY BRING ITS CLAIM IN ITS LOCAL SMALL CLAIMS COURT, IF PERMITTED BY THAT SMALL CLAIMS COURT RULES AND IF WITHIN SUCH COURT’S JURISDICTION. ARBITRATION IS DIFFERENT FROM COURT, AND DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS MAY ALSO BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION. All disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator selected jointly by the parties, whose decision will be final, except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted by JAMS pursuant to its then current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules, or, where appropriate, pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. All applicable JAMS’ rules and procedures are available at the JAMS website www.jamsadr.com. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. If conducted in person, the arbitration shall take place in the United States county where you reside. The parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the Dispute immediately after commencement of the arbitration. As set forth in Section 17 below, nothing in this Agreement will prevent us from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect our proprietary interests.
16. CLASS ACTION WAIVER
You agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the Dispute between us and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (i) no arbitration or proceeding shall be joined with any other; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated or resolved on a class action-basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (iii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
17. EQUITABLE RELIEF
You acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened violation of our intellectual property rights and confidential and proprietary information by you, we will suffer irreparable harm and will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce this Agreement. We may, without waiving any other remedies under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim, equitable, provisional, or injunctive relief that is necessary to protect our rights and property pending the outcome of the arbitration referenced above. You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the State of New York, Borough of Manhattan for purposes of any such action by us.
18. COMMUNICATIONS DECENCY ACT NOTICE
Main is a provider of “interactive computer services” as defined under the Communications Decency Act, 47 U.S.C. Section 230, and as such, our liability for defamation, libel, product disparagement, and other claims arising out of any User Content is limited as described therein. We are not responsible for any User Content. We neither warrant the accuracy of the User Content nor exercise any editorial control over User Content, nor do we assume any legal obligation for editorial control of User Content or liability in connection with User Content, including any responsibility or liability for investigating or verifying the accuracy of any User Content.
19. DOWNLOADING THE APP.
We make the App available through the Apple App Store. The following terms apply when you download the App from Apple’s App Store. These terms are in addition to all other terms contained in the Agreement.
20. MISCELLANEOUS
Our failure to act on or enforce any provision of the Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision in this Agreement. No waiver shall be effective against us unless made in writing, and no such waiver shall be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance. Except as expressly agreed by us and you in writing, this Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter, and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter. The section headings are provided merely for convenience and shall not be given any legal import. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns, licensees, and sublicensees.
