Last updated: May 27, 2016

1. Introduction

As part of its mission, SFMOMA (“SFMOMA”, “us” or “we”) seeks to engage a varied audience with the ideas, forms, and makers of the art of our time. In support of its mission, SFMOMA has created and maintains the SFMOMA website at sfmoma.org (the “Site”), and an applications for your mobile device (the “App”). The following terms and conditions (the “Terms”) govern your access and use of the Site, App, SFMOMA pages on third-party hosted sites, as well as all related web sites, networks, downloadable software, and other services provided by SFMOMA and on which a link to these Terms is displayed (collectively, together with the App and Site, the “Service”) . These Terms are a legally binding contract between you and SFMOMA regarding your use of the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company, entity, or organization (collectively “Subscribing Organization”), then (i) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of that Subscribing Organization with the authority to bind such organization to the Terms and agree to be bound by the Terms on behalf of such Subscribing Organization, and (ii) references to “you” in these Terms will be deemed to refer to you individually, such Subscribing Organization, and any other individuals accessing or using the Service on behalf of the Subscribing Organization.

These Terms provide that all disputes between you and SFMOMA will be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION AND BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND SFMOMA ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION . YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under these Terms, except for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury, and your claims cannot be brought as a class action. Please review section 26 (“Dispute Resolution and Arbitration”) for the details regarding your agreement to arbitrate any disputes with SFMOMA.

If you wish to use any of the Materials or Non-SFMOMA Content, you must receive prior written permission from us (and/or the other owner of rights to the Materials as applicable) unless such use is explicitly permitted in the Terms. We do not warrant that any permitted use of the Materials will not infringe the rights of third parties not affiliated with SFMOMA.

22. Disclaimer of Warranties

ACCESS TO AND ALL MATERIALS ON THE SERVICE ARE PROVIDED TO YOU “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITH NO WARRANTY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SFMOMA DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, THE IMPLIED CONDITION OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. SFMOMA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL PROVIDE CONTINUOUS, PROMPT, SECURE, OR ERROR- AND MALWARE-FREE SERVICE.

NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE SERVICE OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING SFMOMA OR THE SERVICE THAT IS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICE, YOUR DEALING WITH ANY OTHER SERVICE USER, AND ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU USE THE SERVICE, AND USE, ACCESS, DOWNLOAD, OR OTHERWISE OBTAIN MATERIALS OR CONTENT THROUGH THE SERVICE AND ANY ASSOCIATED SITES OR SERVICES, AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND THAT YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY (INCLUDING YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE), OR THE LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICE OR THE DOWNLOAD OR USE OF THAT MATERIAL OR CONTENT.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to you.

23. Limitation of Liability

YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND THAT IN NO EVENT WILL SFMOMA OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS, WHETHER IN AN ACTION UNDER CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO: (A) YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE; (B) YOUR RELIANCE ON ANY CONTENT ON THE SERVICE; (C) ANY GOODS OR SERVICES PURCHASED THROUGH USE OF THE SERVICE; OR (D) ANY GOODS OR SERVICES ADVERTISED ON THE SERVICE; EVEN IF SFMOMA OR ANY RELATED PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

24. Termination

The Terms will continue to apply until terminated by either you or us as set out below. Your right to access and use the Service terminates automatically upon your breach of any of the Terms.

We may at any time: (a) modify, suspend, or terminate the operation of or access to any of the Service for any reason; (b) modify or change the Service for any reason; (c) interrupt the operation of the Service for any reason, all as we deem appropriate at our sole discretion.

Your access to, and use of, the Service may be terminated by you or by us at any time and for any reason. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you in advance about any material modification, suspension, or termination by us that is not caused by your breach of the Terms.

Upon termination of the Terms, any provision which, by its nature or express terms should survive, will survive such termination or expiration, including, but not limited to, sections 14 through 30. Any license to User Content granted by you herein shall continue in effect subject to the terms of the applicable license.

25. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

The Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. If a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under these Terms, then you and SFMOMA agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California.

26. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

26.1.Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and SFMOMA in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and SFMOMA agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND SFMOMA ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

26.2. Exceptions. Despite the provisions of section 26.1, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

26.3. Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and SFMOMA will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1.800.778.7879, or by contacting SFMOMA.

26.4. Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if such other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice”). SFMOMA’s address for Notice is: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, 151 Third Street, San Francisco, CA 94103. The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good-faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or SFMOMA may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or SFMOMA must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, SFMOMA will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by SFMOMA in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) $1,000.

26.5. Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, SFMOMA will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in San Francisco County, California, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non–appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse SFMOMA for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

26.6. No Class Actions. YOU AND SFMOMA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and SFMOMA agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

26.7. Modifications to This Arbitration Provision. If SFMOMA makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to SFMOMA’s address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to SFMOMA’s address for Notice, in which case your account with SFMOMA will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected, will survive.

26.8. Enforceability. If section 26.6 is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this section 26 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this section 26 will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in section 21 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.

27. Miscellaneous

The Terms express the complete understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous communications and agreements, written or oral, regarding this Service. If any provision of the Terms or portion thereof is held invalid or unenforceable, such provision or portion thereof shall be deemed severed, and the remainder of the Terms shall remain in full force and effect. The failure by SFMOMA to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of the Terms by you or others will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right of SFMOMA. The Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be assigned or transferred by you, but may be assigned by SFMOMA without restriction. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of the Terms shall be void. Section headings used in this document are for convenience only and do not have any legal effect.

28. Consent to Electronic Communications

By using the Service, you consent to receiving certain electronic communications from us as further described in our Privacy Policy. Please read our Privacy Policy to learn more about our electronic communications practices. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that those communications be in writing.

29. Notice Regarding Apple.

To the extent that you are using our mobile applications on an iOS device, you further acknowledge and agree to the terms of this Section 29. You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and SFMOMA only, not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”), and Apple is not responsible for the Service and the content thereof. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the Service. In the event of any failure of the Service to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund any applicable purchase price for the mobile application to you; and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Service. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the Service or your possession and/or use of the Service, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the Service fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation. Apple is not responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any third party claim that the Service and/or your possession and use of the mobile application infringe that third party’s intellectual property rights. You agree to comply with any applicable third party terms when using the Service. Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third party beneficiary of these Terms. You hereby 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.
