Such modifications, changes, suspensions, or discontinuances may include, but are not limited to, imposing limits on certain features and services, restricting your access to parts or all of our APIs or websites, and discontinuing any support or modification for the Technology that we have previously elected to provide for you. If we elect to discontinue the availability of the entirety of the Technology, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with prior notice.
  3. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of the Meta Wearables Developer Terms, you will, and will cause your Testers, if any, to, immediately stop using the Technology and all Integrations that incorporate the Technology or any of its components, cease all use of the Brand Features, and destroy or return copies of components of the Technology that you have and any other Confidential Information.
  4. Surviving Provisions. When these Meta Wearables Developer Terms terminate, those terms that by their nature are intended to continue indefinitely will continue to apply, including Section 2(b) (License Restrictions) through 2(h) (Experimental Features), Section 5 (Data Use), Section 7 (Security), Section 8 (International Transfers – EEA Data Transfers), Section 9 (International Transfers – UK Data Transfers), Section 10 (Intellectual Property), Section 11 (Enforcement Actions), Section 12 (Confidentiality), Section 13 (Term and Termination), Section 14(Indemnification and Limitation of Liability), Section 16 (Disputes), and Section 17 (General Provisions).

14. Indemnification and Limitation of Liability

  1. Indemnification. Unless prohibited by applicable law, you will indemnify and (at Meta’s option) defend Meta, its affiliates and subsidiaries, and the agents, licensors, contributors, directors, officers, employees, suppliers, and distributors thereof (collectively, “Meta Parties”) against all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, fees (including legal fees), and expenses arising from or relating to: (1) your use of the Technology, or any negligence or misconduct, by you or, if applicable, your employees, agents, vendors, or contractors (collectively “Developer Parties”); (2) any Developer Parties’ violation of the Terms or any applicable law and regulation; or (3) your Integration, name or logo, products or services, or actions in connection with the Technology.
  2. Warranties. Except as expressly set out in the Terms, the Technology, any other Confidential Information, and anything else furnished under the Terms is provided “as is” without any specific promises, representations, guarantees or warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any commitments about the content accessed through the technology, the specific functions of the technology or our integration services, or their reliability, availability, or ability to meet your needs. The Meta Parties hereby disclaim any implied warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability, non-infringement, and fitness for a particular purpose. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for any health and safety issues relating to the Integrations, including all costs, damages, and other liabilities arising out of health and safety issues arising from the Integrations. Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties, so you may have additional rights.
  3. Limitation of Liability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Meta Parties will not be responsible for lost profits, business or goodwill, revenues, or data; financial losses; or indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages (including procurement of substitute goods or services; loss of use, data, or profits; or business interruption) however caused and on any theory of liability, whether in contract, strict liability, or tort (including negligence or otherwise) arising as a result of the Terms or use of the Technology, sample apps, or any Experimental Features or modified sample code even if advised of the possibility of such damage. To the extent permitted by law, the cumulative, aggregate liability of Meta Parties, for any and all claims arising under the Terms or its subject matter shall not exceed one thousand U.S. Dollars ($1,000). In all cases, Meta Parties will not be liable for any expense, loss, or damage that is not reasonably foreseeable.
    You agree that your remedies under the Terms are limited solely to the right to collect money damages, if any, and you hereby waive your right to seek injunctive relief or other equitable relief. If you are a California resident, you agree to waive California Civil Code § 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

15. Notice

After you agree to the Terms, any written notice, request, or communications from us to you may be provided via email or mail (for example, to the email address or mailing address in your Developer Account). You will keep your contact information current, including name, business name, and email.

16. Disputes

  1. Any claims, causes of action or disputes that arise out of or relate to the Terms or the Technology between you and Meta (“Claims”) will be governed by the terms set forth in Section 16 below.
  2. U.S. Claims. If you reside in the United States or your business is located in the United States:
    1. You agree to arbitrate Claims between you and Meta. This provision does not cover any claims relating to violations of your or our Intellectual Property Rights, violations of your or our confidential information or trade secrets, or efforts to interfere with the Technology or engage with the Technology in unauthorized ways (for example, automated ways). If a Claim between you and Meta is not subject to arbitration, you agree that the Claim must be resolved exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California or a state court located in San Mateo County, and that you submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such Claim.
    2. We and you agree that, by entering into this arbitration provision, all parties are waiving their respective rights to a trial by jury or to participate in a class or representative action. The parties agree that each may bring claims against the other only in its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, representative, or private attorney general proceeding. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you may bring a Claim only on your own behalf and cannot seek relief that would affect other parties. If there is a final judicial determination that any particular Claim (or a request for particular relief) cannot be arbitrated according to the limitations of this Section 16(b)(ii), then only that Claim (or only that request for relief) may be brought in court. All other Claims (or requests for relief) will remain subject to this Section 16(b)(ii). The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. All issues are for an arbitrator to decide, except that only a court may decide issues relating to the scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision or the interpretation of the prohibition of class and representative actions. If any party intends to seek arbitration of a dispute, that party must provide the other party with notice in writing. The notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the Claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific amount of damages or other relief sought. This notice of dispute to us must be sent to the following address: Meta Platform Technologies, LLC 1 Meta Way, Menlo Park, California, 94025. We will send the notice to you at the email address currently on file for your Developer Account
    3. The arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), as modified by the Terms, unless the dispute involves a consumer in which situation the AAA’s consumer rules will apply, and will be administered by the AAA. If the AAA is unavailable, the parties will agree to another arbitration provider or the court will appoint a substitute. The arbitrator will not be bound by rulings in other arbitrations in which you are not a party. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any evidentiary submissions made in arbitration will be maintained as confidential in the absence of good cause for its disclosure. The arbitrator’s award will be maintained as confidential only to the extent necessary to protect either party’s trade secrets or proprietary business information or to comply with a legal requirement mandating confidentiality. Each party will be responsible for paying any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with AAA Rules. If you do not wish to be bound by this provision (including its waiver of class and representative claims), you must notify us as set forth below within 30 days of when you first agree to the Terms. Your notice to us under this Section 16(b)(iv) must be submitted to the address here: Meta Platform Technologies, LLC 1 Meta Way, Menlo Park, California, 94025.
    4. All Claims between us, whether subject to arbitration or not, will be governed by California law, excluding California’s conflict of laws rules, except to the extent that California law is contrary to or preempted by federal law.
    5. Enforcement. Except as otherwise provided in the Terms, if a Claim does not proceed in arbitration, the class-action waiver shall remain in effect, and a court may not preside over any action joining, coordinating, or consolidating the Claims of multiple individuals in a single proceeding, except that you and Meta may participate in a class-wide, collective, and/or representative settlement of Claims.
  3. Claims Outside the United States. If you reside outside the United States or your business is located outside the United States, you agree that:
    1. Any Claim between you and Meta must be resolved exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California or a state court located in San Mateo County, that you submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such Claim, and that the laws of the State of California will govern the Terms and any such Claim, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
    2. Without prejudice to the foregoing, you agree that, in our sole discretion, we may also bring any Claim we have against you related to efforts to abuse, interfere, or engage with the Technology in unauthorized ways in the country in which you reside that has jurisdiction over the Claim.

17. General Provisions

  1. Order of Precedence. If there is any conflict between the Terms and any other applicable online terms, the terms that are more restrictive on you and your Integration or more protective of us or Technology Data apply.
  2. Updates. We may make updates to the Technology and the Terms from time to time. By continuing to access or use the Technology after any notice of an update to the Terms, you agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree to the updated terms, you must stop accessing and using the Technology. If we update the Technology, you must use the updated Technology and cannot develop or test Integrations using the prior Technology.
  3. Independent Contractors. You and Meta are independent contractors with regard to each other. The Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights or any agency, partnership, employment, or joint venture.
  4. No Waiver. We are not liable for failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control. If you do not comply with the Terms, and Meta does not take action right away or does not enforce any provision of the Terms, this inaction or lack of enforcement will not act as a waiver by Meta of any rights that it may have (such as taking action in the future) or in any way affect the validity of the Terms or parts thereof.
  5. Modification. If a particular provision of the Terms is deemed unenforceable, it will be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to render it enforceable and most nearly reflect the intent of the original provision, and all other provisions in the Terms shall remain in full force and effect.
  6. Transfer. In accordance with our Terms of Service, you will not transfer any of your rights or obligations under the Terms to anyone else without our prior written consent. Transfer can include assignment, acquisition, merger, change of control, or other forms of transfer. Any unpermitted transfer will be considered null and void. For any permitted transfer of your Integration, you will obligate the transferee to comply with the Terms and other applicable terms and policies, and re-submit such Integration through our Integration Review process for our review and approval. After any such permitted transfer by you of your Integration, you can only access, use, share, and retain Technology Data to the extent permitted by, and in compliance with, the Terms and applicable laws and regulations.
  7. Compliance with Applicable Laws. You also must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including with respect to your collection, use, or other processing of Technology Data.
  8. Entire Agreement. The Terms is the entire agreement between you and Meta relating to the subject matter herein and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements on such subject matter. No terms and conditions (including click-wrap or click-through terms) that may be presented or provided to us through your Integration, through the Developer Center or otherwise will be binding on or have any application to Meta. By way of example, to the extent your Integration incorporates or otherwise uses any of your and/or a third party’s APIs, tools, code or other technology , you agree that any agreement, policy, guideline, or other documentation that governs or otherwise relates to such APIs, tools, code or other technology does not and shall not be binding on Meta for purposes of the Integration.
  9. Trade Controls. Your use of the Technology must comply with U.S., EU, UK, and UN sanctions and applicable export controls (“Trade Controls”) and other applicable laws and regulations. You may not use the Technology and may not accept the Terms if (1) you are a person with whom Meta is prohibited or restricted from dealing with under applicable law, including if you are the target of Trade Controls that would make it prohibited to access and/or use the Technology; or (2) you are a person barred from using or receiving the Technology by Meta or under the applicable laws of the U.S. or other countries including the country in which you are resident or from which you use the Technology. The Technology may not be used in or for the benefit of, or exported or re-exported to (a) any jurisdiction that is the target of U.S. comprehensive sanctions; or (b) any individual or entity with whom dealings are prohibited or restricted under Trade Controls. The Technology may not be used for any end use prohibited by Trade Controls, and your inputs to the Technology may not include material or information that requires a government license for release or export.
