DIGITAL MILLENIUM COPYRIGHT ACT
13.1 We are committed to complying with copyright and related laws, and we require all users of the Services to comply with these laws. Accordingly, you may not store any material or content on, or disseminate any material or content over, the Services in any manner that constitutes an infringement of third party intellectual property rights, including rights granted by copyright law. Owners of copyrighted works in the United States who believe that their rights under copyright law have been infringed may take advantage of certain provisions of the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) to report alleged infringements. You may not post, modify, distribute, or reproduce in any way any copyrighted material, trademarks, or other proprietary information belonging to others without obtaining the prior written consent of the owner of such proprietary rights.

Upon our receipt of a proper notice of claimed infringement under the DMCA, we will respond expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material claimed to be infringing and will follow the procedures specified in the DMCA to resolve the claim between the notifying party and the alleged infringer who provided the content in issue.

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
14.1 TERM AND TERMINATION
14.9 EXCLUSIVE VENUE To the extent the parties are permitted under these Terms to initiate litigation in a court, both you and GetGreen agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Terms or the use of the Services will be litigated exclusively in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. If, however, that court would lack original jurisdiction over the litigation, then all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Terms or the use of the Services will be litigated exclusively in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco. You and GetGreen consent to the personal jurisdiction of both courts. 14.10 CHOICE OF LAW Except to the extent they are preempted by U.S. federal law, the laws of California, other than its conflict-of-laws principles, govern these Terms and any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or their subject matter, including tort claims. 14.11 CONSUMER COMPLAINTS In accordance with California Civil Code §1789.3, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210. 14.12 GOVERNMENT RIGHTS GetGreen provides the Services, including any related software, data, and technology, for ultimate government end use solely in accordance with the following: The Services shall constitute “commercial” computer software. Government technical data and software rights related to the Services include only those rights customarily provided to the public as defined in these Terms. These customary commercial licenses are provided in accordance with FAR 12.211 (Technical Data) and FAR 12.212 (Customer-Side Application) and, for Department of Defense transactions, DFAR 252.227-7015 (Technical Data – Commercial Items) and DFAR 227.7202-3 (Rights in Commercial Computer Customer-Side Application or Computer Customer-Side Application Documentation). If a government agency has a need for rights not granted under these Terms, it must negotiate with GetGreen to determine if there are acceptable terms for granting those rights, and a mutually acceptable written addendum specifically granting those rights must be included in any applicable agreement. If any law, rule or regulation requires these Terms to include a specific provision or clause in order to render these Terms enforceable against any ultimate government end user, such provision or clause will be deemed to be a part of these Terms. 14.13 ENTIRE AGREEMENT These Terms constitute the whole agreement between us and supersede all previous discussions, correspondence, negotiations, previous arrangement, understanding or agreement between us relating to their subject matter. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Neither of you or GetGreen is an agent, employee, or partner of the other. These Terms, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without GetGreen’ prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. GetGreen may freely assign these Terms.

A Gift Subscription can only be redeemed once, is not transferable, and may only be used in the country for which it was purchased. A Gift Subscription cannot be redeemed for cash, resold, or combined with any other offers. Our Payment Processor will charge the Payment Method provided by the Giftor at the time of purchase, and not delivery, for any Gift Subscriptions. Neither Giftor nor Recipient is eligible for any refund or other credits arising out of or related to a Gift Subscription that is not redeemed in accordance with these Terms. GetGreen will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Recipient prior to the expiration of the Gift Subscription. Please ensure that you enter the Recipient’s information accurately when purchasing a Gift Subscription. GetGreen is not responsible if a Gift Subscription is lost, stolen or used without permission. 15.3 LIFELINE FUNCTIONALITY The Services allow an individual user (an “Originator”) to create a shared group through which you can make your scheduled activities or current safety status available (the “Lifeline Functionality”) to a select group of individuals (a “Lifeline Notification Group”). To create a Lifeline Notification Group, the Originator may invite other individuals to join a Lifeline Notification Group, by entering the prospective individuals’ phone number(s). By doing so, an Originator represents that he or she has obtained all necessary rights, consents, and permissions to communicate with each individual that they invite via SMS, MMS, text message or other electronic means, sent through the Services. All information shared with GetGreen through a Lifeline Notification Group will be used in accordance with our Privacy Policy. GetGreen MAKES NO REPRESENTATION NOR WARRANTY THAT YOUR LIFELINE NOTIFICATION GROUP WILL RECEIVE ANY STATUS SAFETY UPDATES SENT THROUGH THE LIFELINE FUNCTIONALITY. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE LIFELINE FUNCTIONALITY IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO MOBILE OR GPS SERVICE. IN AN EMERGENCY, CONTACT EMERGENCY SERVICES IN YOUR JURISDICTION. 15.4 REFERRALS You may be able to use certain features of the Services to refer GetGreen to a third party (a “Referral”). When you make a Referral, you may be prompted to enter the name and contact information, including mobile phone number or email address, of the third party to whom you are making the Referral. You represent that you have the right to provide us with such information, and that you provide the information solely in order to make such Referral and not for any other purpose, including harassment, stalking, or other purpose in violation of any applicable laws, regulations, or these Terms. We will use any information that you provide to us in connection with a Referral in accordance with our Privacy Policy. For each individual who creates a new Member Account in connection with their receipt of a Referral, GetGreen shall cause a tree to be planted in connection with our third-party partner.

Your Order through the Apple App Store will be subject to Apple’s then-current payment policy, which may not provide for refunds. Your Order through the Google Play Store will be subject to Google’s applicable payment policy, which also may not provide for refunds. You agree to immediately notify us and/or the applicable Distribution Channel of any change in your billing address or other payment information. Your Payment Method agreement governs your use of the designated Payment Method, and you must refer to that agreement to determine your rights and liabilities thereunder.

To the extent that you utilize any other third party Services and services in connection with your use of the Services, you agree to comply with all applicable terms of any agreement for such third party Services and services.

You acknowledge and agree that you may be subject to this automatic renewal feature (even if you otherwise terminate your Member Account) unless you cancel your Subscription prior to the Renewal Commencement Date as set forth in Section 3.5(f) or in accordance with any agreement between you and the Distribution Channel through which you purchased the Subscription, if applicable. If you do not cancel your Subscription before the Renewal Commencement Date, your Payment Method will be charged for a Subscription for the Renewal Term. If your Subscription was purchased through the Website, and you mistakenly renewed your Subscription, email [email protected] within 30 days of your Renewal Commencement Date and we may refund your renewal payment.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE) WILL GetGreen PARTIES BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTIES FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, OR DATA, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING COSTS DUE TO LOSS OF PRODUCTION OR USE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR ANY OTHER LOSS INCURRED BY YOU OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE Services, YOUR ORDERS, OR OTHERWISE, IN EACH CASE WHETHER OR NOT GetGreen HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, GetGreen PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE Services FOR ANY AMOUNT THAT EXCEEDS THE GREATER OF (i) THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO GetGreen FOR ANY GetGreen Services THAT GIVE RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (ii) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE Services MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN EIGHTEEN (18) MONTHS OF THE EVENTS GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN GetGreen AND YOU. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply to you. IN THESE JURISDICTIONS, GetGreen’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE Services OR WITH THESE TERMS, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE Services. The limitations set forth herein will survive termination or expiration of these Terms and apply even if any limited remedy specified in these Terms is found to have failed its essential purpose.
INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless GetGreen and its directors, officers, members, investors, managers, employees and agents (the “GetGreen Parties”) from any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising in any way from your use of the Services, your placement or transmission of any message, content, information, software, or other submissions through the Services, or your breach or violation of the law or of these Terms. GetGreen reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and in such case, you agree to cooperate fully with GetGreen’ defense of such claim. If you are a California resident, you 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.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.
DIGITAL MILLENIUM COPYRIGHT ACT
13.1 We are committed to complying with copyright and related laws, and we require all users of the Services to comply with these laws.

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
14.1 TERM AND TERMINATION
- You and GetGreen agree that, subject to any eligibility requirements for accessing and using the Services or entering into the Terms, the Terms commenced on the earlier to occur of: (i) the date you first used the Services or (ii) the date you accepted the Terms, and the Terms will remain in full force and effect while you use the Services, unless earlier terminated in accordance with these Terms.
- We may terminate these Terms or your ability to access or use any or all Services at any time for any reason, with or without notice, including if timely payment cannot be charged to your Payment Method for any reason, if you have breached any provision of the Terms, or if GetGreen is required to do so by law (e.g., where the provision of the Services is, or becomes, unlawful). If you have a Subscription and your Member Account is terminated by us, you must promptly cancel your Subscription in accordance with Section 3.5(f). Otherwise, your Subscription will remain in effect until the cancellation of your Subscription in accordance with Section 3.5(f) (independent of any termination of your Member Account or termination of these Terms by us).
- If you want to terminate these Terms, you must do so by (i) notifying GetGreen at any time; (ii) cancelling all of your Subscriptions in accordance with Section 3.5(f); and (iii) closing your Member Account. These Terms will remain in effect until the end of the then-current term of any and all or your Subscriptions. UPON ANY APPLICABLE TERMINATION, YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE END OF THE SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROCEDURE SET FORTH IN SECTION 3.5(f).
- Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All disputes arising out of, relating to, or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Services that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court will be resolved through binding arbitration on an individual basis, except that you and GetGreen are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents.
- Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute-resolution provision. Arbitration will be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. If the claim is for $10,000 or less, the party initiating the arbitration may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (1) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (2) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county of your billing address. In the case of an in-person hearing, the proceedings will be conducted at a location which is reasonably convenient for both parties with due consideration of the ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made by the arbitration institution. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be limited to those fees set forth in the AAA Rules with the remainder paid by GetGreen. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the arbitration 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 such case, you agree to reimburse GetGreen 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 shall 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.
- Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator will decide the jurisdiction of the arbitrator and the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and GetGreen. The dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award all remedies available under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and GetGreen.
- Jury Trial Waiver. You and GetGreen waive any constitutional and statutory rights to go to court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury. Rather, you and GetGreen elect to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. In any litigation between you and GetGreen over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, you and GetGreen waive all rights to a jury trial, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.
- Class Action Waiver. WHERE PERMITTED UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND GetGreen AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor GetGreen are entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 14.9 below.
- Opt-out. YOU MAY OPT-OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. To opt-out, you must notify GetGreen in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address you used to set up your Member Account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt-out of this Arbitration Agreement. You must send your opt-out notice to our email address [email protected].
- Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or GetGreen may bring an individual action in small claims court.
- Arbitration Agreement Survival. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with GetGreen.
14.9 EXCLUSIVE VENUE To the extent the parties are permitted under these Terms to initiate litigation in a court, both you and GetGreen agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Terms or the use of the Services will be litigated exclusively in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. If, however, that court would lack original jurisdiction over the litigation, then all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Terms or the use of the Services will be litigated exclusively in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco. You and GetGreen consent to the personal jurisdiction of both courts. 14.10 CHOICE OF LAW Except to the extent they are preempted by U.S. federal law, the laws of California, other than its conflict-of-laws principles, govern these Terms and any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or their subject matter, including tort claims. 14.11 CONSUMER COMPLAINTS In accordance with California Civil Code §1789.3, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210. 14.12 GOVERNMENT RIGHTS GetGreen provides the Services, including any related software, data, and technology, for ultimate government end use solely in accordance with the following: The Services shall constitute “commercial” computer software. Government technical data and software rights related to the Services include only those rights customarily provided to the public as defined in these Terms. These customary commercial licenses are provided in accordance with FAR 12.211 (Technical Data) and FAR 12.212 (Customer-Side Application) and, for Department of Defense transactions, DFAR 252.227-7015 (Technical Data – Commercial Items) and DFAR 227.7202-3 (Rights in Commercial Computer Customer-Side Application or Computer Customer-Side Application Documentation). If a government agency has a need for rights not granted under these Terms, it must negotiate with GetGreen to determine if there are acceptable terms for granting those rights, and a mutually acceptable written addendum specifically granting those rights must be included in any applicable agreement. If any law, rule or regulation requires these Terms to include a specific provision or clause in order to render these Terms enforceable against any ultimate government end user, such provision or clause will be deemed to be a part of these Terms. 14.13 ENTIRE AGREEMENT These Terms constitute the whole agreement between us and supersede all previous discussions, correspondence, negotiations, previous arrangement, understanding or agreement between us relating to their subject matter. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Neither of you or GetGreen is an agent, employee, or partner of the other. These Terms, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without GetGreen’ prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. GetGreen may freely assign these Terms. The terms and conditions set forth in these Terms shall be binding upon assignees. 14.14 CONTACT GetGreen, LLC is located at 530 Bush Street, Suite 900 San Francisco, CA, 94108.

Furthermore, with respect to any App accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store (an “App Store Sourced Application”), you will only use the App Store Sourced Application (a) on an Apple-branded product that runs the iOS (Apple’s proprietary operating system) and (b) as permitted by the “Usage Rules” set forth in the Apple App Store Terms of Service. Notwithstanding the first sentence in this section, with respect to any Application accessed through or downloaded from the Google Play store (a “Google Play Sourced Application”), you may have additional license rights with respect to use of the Apps on a shared basis within your designated family group. You understand that the Services are evolving. As a result, we may require you to accept updates to any of the Services that you have installed on your computer or mobile device. You acknowledge and agree that we may update the Services with or without notifying you. You may need to update third-party software from time to time in order to use the Services.
- Accessing and Downloading the Application from iTunes. The following applies to any App Store Sourced Application accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store:
- You acknowledge and agree that (i) these Terms are concluded between you and GetGreen only, and not Apple, and (ii) GetGreen, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App Store Sourced Application and content thereof. Your use of the App Store Sourced Application must comply with the App Store Terms of Service.
- You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App Store Sourced Application.
- In the event of any failure of the App Store Sourced Application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App Store Sourced Application to you and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App Store Sourced Application.

- You and GetGreen acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
- Without limiting any other terms of the Terms, you must comply with all applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App Store Sourced Application.
15.2 GIFTING You may be able to purchase certain pre-paid Subscriptions for other users or potential users (“Gift Subscriptions”). A user who purchases a Gift Subscription (a “Giftor”) must designate a specific recipient at the time of purchase, who will receive and has the option to redeem a Gift Subscription (“Recipient”) for a Subscription to certain Services. The Initial Term of such Subscription commences on the date that the Gift Subscription is redeemed for a Subscription. All fees and charges related to Gift Subscriptions are incurred and charged as a one-time payment at the time of the Giftor’s Order of such Gift Subscription. A Giftor may specify the date on which a Gift Subscription will be delivered to the Recipient. The Giftor will receive an Order confirmation and receipt. The Gift Subscription will be sent to the Recipient on the date specified by the Giftor, and is valid to be redeemed for a Subscription during the term specified at point of purchase (the “Expiration Period”). If there was no Expiration Period specified at point of purchase or the Gift Subscription was purchased before October 16, 2021, such Gift Subscription will not expire. A Gift Subscription can only be redeemed once, is not transferable, and may only be used in the country for which it was purchased. A Gift Subscription cannot be redeemed for cash, resold, or combined with any other offers. Our Payment Processor will charge the Payment Method provided by the Giftor at the time of purchase, and not delivery, for any Gift Subscriptions. Neither Giftor nor Recipient is eligible for any refund or other credits arising out of or related to a Gift Subscription that is not redeemed in accordance with these Terms. GetGreen will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Recipient prior to the expiration of the Gift Subscription. Please ensure that you enter the Recipient’s information accurately when purchasing a Gift Subscription. GetGreen is not responsible if a Gift Subscription is lost, stolen or used without permission. 15.3 LIFELINE FUNCTIONALITY The Services allow an individual user (an “Originator”) to create a shared group through which you can make your scheduled activities or current safety status available (the “Lifeline Functionality”) to a select group of individuals (a “Lifeline Notification Group”). To create a Lifeline Notification Group, the Originator may invite other individuals to join a Lifeline Notification Group, by entering the prospective individuals’ phone number(s). By doing so, an Originator represents that he or she has obtained all necessary rights, consents, and permissions to communicate with each individual that they invite via SMS, MMS, text message or other electronic means, sent through the Services. All information shared with GetGreen through a Lifeline Notification Group will be used in accordance with our Privacy Policy. GetGreen MAKES NO REPRESENTATION NOR WARRANTY THAT YOUR LIFELINE NOTIFICATION GROUP WILL RECEIVE ANY STATUS SAFETY UPDATES SENT THROUGH THE LIFELINE FUNCTIONALITY. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE LIFELINE FUNCTIONALITY IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO MOBILE OR GPS SERVICE. IN AN EMERGENCY, CONTACT EMERGENCY SERVICES IN YOUR JURISDICTION. 15.4 REFERRALS You may be able to use certain features of the Services to refer GetGreen to a third party (a “Referral”). When you make a Referral, you may be prompted to enter the name and contact information, including mobile phone number or email address, of the third party to whom you are making the Referral. You represent that you have the right to provide us with such information, and that you provide the information solely in order to make such Referral and not for any other purpose, including harassment, stalking, or other purpose in violation of any applicable laws, regulations, or these Terms. We will use any information that you provide to us in connection with a Referral in accordance with our Privacy Policy. For each individual who creates a new Member Account in connection with their receipt of a Referral, GetGreen shall cause a tree to be planted in connection with our third-party partner.
