Introduction

This Terms of Use (the “Agreement”) set forth the terms and conditions that apply to your access and use of the website, software applications, and other online services (collectively, the “Service”) provided by Parallel Technology Ltd. (“Parallel”). By using our Services, you agree to these contractual terms, Privacy Policy, and Community Guidelines.

Supplement Terms

If you are based in the US, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, you agree to the applicable supplement terms included at the end of this Agreement, so please review them carefully.

Accepting the Terms

By using the Service, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. The terms “you” and “user” refer to Users who use our Services. The term “we” or “our” refers to Parallel. You may not use the Service and may not accept this Agreement if you are not of a legal age to form a binding contract with Parallel. If you accept this Agreement, you represent that you have the capacity to be bound by it, or if you are acting on behalf of a company or entity, you have the authority to bind such entity. If you do not agree to this Agreement, please don’t use the Service.

Privacy and Your Personal Information

For information about Parallel’s privacy and data protection practices, read our Privacy Policy. Our privacy policy explains how Parallel collects, uses and shares the information you provide when you access the Service. Using the Service, you consent to Parallel’s collection, use, and sharing of your information as outlined in our privacy policy.

Description of the Service

Parallel is a social commerce platform that offers AI-powered size recommendations and a community-driven shopping experience to solve the problem of not knowing what clothing size to purchase. You can upload pictures of yourself wearing different outfits with an account and tag the items. These posts are viewable on the site for others to see and shop from. You agree that Parallel is in no way responsible or liable to you for any products you purchase through the platform, including any product liability claim, improper charges, delivery failures, pricing errors, or inaccurate product descriptions.

Who Can Use Parallel

You may use Parallel only if you can legally form a binding contract with Parallel and only in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable laws. When creating your Parallel account, you must provide us with accurate and complete information. You can’t use Parallel if U.S. sanctions prohibit it. Any use or access by anyone under the age of 13 is not allowed. If located in the EEA, you may only use Parallel if you are over the age at which you can provide consent to data processing under the laws of your country. Using Parallel may include downloading software to your computer, phone, tablet, or other device. You agree that we may automatically update that software, and this Agreement will apply to any updates.

Posting Content

Parallel allows you to post content, including photos, comments, links, and other materials. Anything you post or otherwise make available on Parallel is called "User Content." You retain all rights and are solely responsible for the User Content you post to Parallel.

a) How Your Content is Used

You grant Parallel and our users a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide license to use, store, display, reproduce, save, modify, create derivative works, perform, and distribute your User Content on Parallel solely for the purposes of operating, developing, providing, and using Parallel. Nothing in these Terms restricts Parallel's other legal rights to User Content, for example, under other licenses. We reserve the right to remove or modify User Content or change how it’s used for any reason. This includes User Content that violates this Agreement, our Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, or any other policies.

b) How Long Your Content is Retained

Following the deactivation of your account, or if you remove any User Content from Parallel, we may keep it for a reasonable period of time for backup, archival, or audit purposes.

c) Feedback from Users

We value hearing from our users and are always interested in learning how we can improve Parallel. If you choose to submit comments, ideas, or feedback, you agree that we are free to use them without any restriction or compensation. By accepting your submission, Parallel doesn’t waive any rights to use similar or related feedback previously known to Parallel, developed by its employees, or obtained from sources other than you.

Account Information from Third-Party Sites

With the Service, Users may direct Parallel to interact with existing accounts they own and that are maintained online by third-party companies with which they have accounts (“Third Party Accounts”), such as Facebook or their accounts on the websites of specific merchants. Parallel makes no effort to review the Third Party Accounts for any purpose, including but not limited to accuracy, legality or non-infringement. Parallel is not responsible for the products and services offered by or on third-party sites. If your permission settings allow it, Parallel may import information from your Third Party Accounts to help better offer the Services to you. Parallel does not control the policies and practices of any third-party site or service, including any third-party accounts you connect to the services.

Parallel cannot always foresee technical or other difficulties resulting in failure to obtain data, data loss, personalization settings, or other service interruptions. Parallel cannot assume responsibility for the timeliness, accuracy, deletion, non-delivery or failure to store user data, communications or personalization settings. When you access third-party websites via our Service, you accept that there are risks in doing so and that Parallel is not responsible for such risks. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Service and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third-party website or service you visit or utilize.

Parallel has no control over and assumes no responsibility for the content, accuracy, privacy policies, or practices of or opinions expressed in any third-party websites or by any third party you interact with through the Services. In addition, Parallel will not and cannot monitor, verify, censor or edit the content of any third-party site or service. By using the Services, you release and hold us harmless from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website or service.

If there is a dispute between participants of our Service or between users and any third party, you agree that Parallel is not obligated to become involved. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users, you release Parallel, its officers, employees, contractors, directors, board members, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and our Services. If you are a California resident, you shall and hereby do waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: ”A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

Your Registration Information

You agree and understand that you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password, which, together with your login ID (email address or username), allows you to access the Service. That login information, along with any other contact information and personal information you provide, forms your “Registration Information.”

By providing us with your email address, you agree to receive all required notices electronically, to that email address. It is your responsibility to update or change that address. Notices will be provided in HTML (or, if your system does not support HTML, in plain text) in the text of the e-mail or through a link to the appropriate page on our site, accessible through any standard modern, commercially available internet browser. We may also use your email address to contact you about our own and third-party goods and services that may interest you. If you do not want us to use your information this way, click “Unsubscribe“ in any e-mail communications we send you. If you become aware of unauthorized use of your Registration Information, you agree to notify Parallel immediately.

Your Use of the Service

Your right to access and use the Service is personal to you and is not transferable by you to any other person or entity. You are only entitled to access and use our Service for lawful, internal, and non-commercial purposes. Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, Parallel hereby grants to you a personal, worldwide, non-assignable, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, and non-exclusive license to (i) use the software and content provided to you as part of the Services (for personal, non-commercial purposes); and (ii) download a copy of our software for such use. This software can pertain to a website, app, extension, and any mobile, laptop or desktop experience on all formats or devices.

Accurate records enable Parallel to provide the Service to you. You must keep your Registration Information current and correct for the Service to function effectively. If you don’t do this, the accuracy and effectiveness of the Service to you will be affected.

Your access and use of the Service may be interrupted occasionally due to third-party failures outside of our control (such as unavailability of general internet infrastructure). Access and use may also be interrupted for periodic updating, maintenance or repair of the Service by Parallel. While we will make reasonable efforts to make the Service available to you, we do not promise that it will always be available.

You agree that Parallel may use your feedback, suggestions, or ideas in any way, including in future modifications of the Service, other products or services, advertising or marketing materials (although any use of your personal information will be subject to our Privacy Policy). As further detailed in our privacy policy, Parallel collects information about the websites you visit to create a better user experience for you and other Parallel users. Examples of this type of information include information about the products your browser visits. In the future (and always subject to our privacy policy), we may offer personalization options in our products that utilize knowledge about what products you are interested in to present relevant content and product offers as we explore ways to use data to build more powerful product experiences that we believe will increase your chance of a superior online shopping experience, whether, in terms of style inspiration and fit and sizing relevance or any other quality, we may provide ways to opt out of this data collection. However, it may result in degraded product capabilities if such data is required to provide the product experience.

You represent, warrant, and agree that you will not contribute any content or otherwise use the Services or interact with the Services in a manner that infringes or violates the intellectual property rights or any other rights of anyone else (including Parallel); violates any law or regulation or this Agreement; is harmful, fraudulent, deceptive, threatening, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable; jeopardizes the security of your Parallel account or anyone else’s (such as allowing someone else to log in to the Services as you); attempts, in any manner, to obtain the password, account, or other security information from any other User; violates the security of any computer network, or cracks any passwords or security encryption codes; runs Maillist, Listserv, any form of auto-responder or “spam” on the Services, or any processes that run or are activated while you are not logged into the Services, or that otherwise interfere with the proper working of the Services (including by placing an unreasonable load on the Services’ infrastructure) or that would bypass the navigational structure or presentation of the Service; “crawls,” “scrapes,” or “spiders” any page, data, or portion of or relating to the Services or Content (through use of manual or automated means); copies or stores any significant portion of the Content; Decompiles, reverse engineers, or otherwise attempts to obtain the source code or underlying ideas or information of or relating to the Services; or circumvents, removes, alters, deactivates, degrades or thwarts any technological measure or content protections of the Service.

If you violate or infringe any of the rules above, we will immediately suspend and terminate your right to use or access the Services.

Electronic Notifications

Parallel may occasionally provide automatic and voluntary account-related notifications, as further explained below and subject always to our privacy policy. Our point of view is to do everything we can to avoid annoying you, so wherever possible, we will minimize unnecessary notifications and provide configuration switches to limit unwanted communications. Voluntary account notifications may be turned on by default as part of the Service. You may then deactivate or reactivate them. Parallel may add new notifications occasionally or cease to provide certain notifications at any time upon its sole discretion.

Electronic notifications will be sent to the email address you have provided as your primary email address for the Service. If your email address changes, you are responsible for informing us. Changes to your email address will apply to all of your notifications. Because notifications are not encrypted, we will never include your passcode. However, notifications may include your Parallel login information and some information about your accounts. Anyone with access to your phone or email can view the content of these notifications. You may turn off specific notifications anytime in your account settings. However, we may still send you Service-related notices as needed to allow us to provide you with the Service.

Support

We may offer user support at our discretion. Parallel reserves the right to discontinue, cancel, or modify any technical support services at any time. For inquiries regarding products, please contact the relevant merchant directly. This includes questions related to all aspects of transactions between you and the merchants, such as information on a merchant’s refund policy, returns, order fulfillment, customer service, fraudulent transactions, or any required legal disclosures.

Links to Other Sites, Networks, Platforms, and Apps

The Services may include links to third-party sites, networks, platforms, or apps (“Linked Technologies”). Your decision to access these Linked Technologies is at your own risk. Parallel is not responsible for the activities of third parties. Please note that Parallel has no control over, and is not responsible for, the terms of service or privacy policies of any Linked Technologies. We encourage you to be mindful when leaving our Services and review the applicable agreements for all Linked Technologies. This Agreement applies solely to the use of our Services. Parallel makes no representations or warranties regarding Linked Technologies, including, but not limited to, their content, accuracy, opinions, functionality, or the services they provide. The inclusion of any Linked Technologies within our Services does not constitute an endorsement or approval by Parallel. If you choose to access any Linked Technologies, you do so at your own risk. At its sole discretion, Parallel may offer access to third-party applications that interface with its application programming interfaces ("Parallel APIs"). These third-party applications ("Third Party Apps") may use Parallel APIs, but they are not endorsed by Parallel.

Your use of Third Party Apps is voluntary and at your own risk. By using Third Party Apps, you may grant them access to your activities, including related metadata. Parallel makes no representations or warranties regarding your use of any Third Party Apps, governed by a separate agreement between you and the Third Party App provider. You agree that Parallel has no liability for any issues arising from using Third Party Apps, including but not limited to continued access to the Parallel APIs, technical issues, interactions with the Parallel APIs, and any damages or claims related to Third Party Apps. Parallel reserves the right to change, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Parallel APIs at any time, including the availability of any APIs.

ARBITRATION CLAUSE & CLASS ACTION WAIVER – IMPORTANT – PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

ARBITRATION

YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DISPUTE INVOLVES A THIRD-PARTY) WITH REGARD TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DISPUTES RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, AND/OR RIGHTS OF PRIVACY AND/OR PUBLICITY, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION UNDER THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION’S RULES FOR ARBITRATION OF CONSUMER-RELATED DISPUTES AND YOU AND WE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU HAVE IN ANY MANNER VIOLATED OR THREATENED TO VIOLATE OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, WE MAY SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER APPROPRIATE RELIEF IN THE PROVINCE OF MANITOBA. DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

As an alternative, you may bring your claim in your local “small claims” court, if permitted by that small claims court’s rules and if within such court’s jurisdiction, unless such action is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court. You may bring claims only on your behalf. Neither you nor we will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by this agreement to arbitrate.

BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE & CLASS ACTION WAIVER, YOU AND PARALLEL ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM THAT EACH SIDE MAY HAVE AGAINST THE OTHER INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS.

You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity or consolidated claims involving another person’s account if we are a party to the proceeding. This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and not by any state law concerning arbitration. In the event the American Arbitration Association is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within one hundred sixty (180) days of filing the case, then either we or you can elect to have the arbitration administered instead by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with this Agreement. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of, related to or connected with the use of the Services or this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim of action arose or be forever banned.

Governing Law and Forum for Disputes

This Agreement and your relationship with Parallel under this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of Manitoba in Canada without regard to its conflict or choice of laws provisions. Any dispute with Parallel or its officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates arising under or in relation to this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively as specified in the ARBITRATION CLAUSE & CLASS ACTION WAIVER clause above, except with respect to imminent harm requiring temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in which case Parallel may seek such relief in any court with jurisdiction over the parties. You understand that, in return for agreement to this provision, Parallel can offer the Service at the terms designated, with little or no charge to you, and that your assent to this provision is an indispensable consideration to this Agreement.

You also acknowledge and understand that, with respect to any dispute with Parallel, its officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service or this Agreement: YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY; and YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS, IN ANY LAWSUIT INVOLVING ANY SUCH DISPUTE.

Copyright Disputes and User Content

You may have heard of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”), which relates to online service providers like Parallel being asked to remove user-generated material that allegedly violates someone’s copyright. We respect others’ intellectual property rights, and we reserve the right to delete or disable User Content alleged to be infringing and to terminate the accounts of repeat alleged infringers.

Consumer Rights Notices

Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California users of the Service receive the following specific consumer rights notice: The Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs may be contacted in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952- 5210.

Miscellaneous

If any portion of this Agreement is deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable by any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, this Agreement as a whole shall not be deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable, but only that portion of this Agreement that is unlawful, void or unenforceable shall be stricken from this Agreement.

You agree that if Parallel does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in the Agreement (or which Parallel has the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of Parallel’s rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to Parallel.

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall survive your acceptance of this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement.
