11.  PRIVACY POLICY.  We are committed to protecting your online privacy.  The privacy policy found in this Section 11 (“Privacy Policy”) discloses the privacy practices for the Application and the Sites.  We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully to learn what information we collect from you and how we use that information.  The privacy practices set forth in this Privacy Policy are for the Application and the Sites only.  If you link to other web sites, please review the privacy policies posted at those sites.

(a)  Information We Collect.  We may collect information about an individual that does not identify a specific user or individual (“Non-Personal Information”).  We may also collect your e-mail address, but we do not collect or store any other information that identifies a specific user or other individual (“Personal Information”).    Non-Personal Information may include things like the Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) of the websites you visited before and after coming to the Application or Sites and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address.  Although we may obtain and retain your e-mail address and your name, other personally identifiable information are not to be associated with such data elements.  We and our authorized third-party service providers and ad servers may automatically collect Non-Personal Information and your e-mail address when you visit the Application or Sites, as described in more detail below; however, all such information shall be deleted and destroyed from our server within 24 hours in accordance with our policies and procedures.  Whenever, in this Privacy Policy, we refer to information which may include either or both Personal Information and/or Non-Personal Information, we will refer to such information as “Individual Information.”

(b)  Sharing Individual Information.  Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy, we will not share your Individual Information with other parties.  We may share your Individual Information in a business transfer or with preferred vendors/collaborators/partners.  As with any other business, we could merge with or be acquired by another company.  If this occurs, the successor company would acquire the information we maintain, including Individual Information.  All of your Individual Information, however, would remain subject to this Privacy Policy.  We may also share your Individual Information for our protection and the protection of others.  We may share Individual Information when we believe release is appropriate to:  comply with the law; enforce this Agreement, or other agreements; or protect the rights, property or safety of the Application and Sites, its users, or others.

(c)  Cookies.  A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer that stores Individual Information about that user. We may use cookies to save you time while using the Application and Sites and to remind us who you are.  Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you may be able to modify your browser settings to decline or delete cookies.  Please note that if you decline or delete these cookies, some parts of the Application or Sites may not work properly.  We may use a third-party analytic company to track and analyze Individual Information. 

(d)  Security.  We take precautions to protect the security of your Individual Information.  Such information resides on a secure server that only selected personnel and contractors have access to.  Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  As a result, although we employ commercially reasonable security measures to protect data and seek to partner with companies which do the same, we cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted to or from the Application or Sites, and are not responsible for the actions of any third parties that may receive any such information.

(e)  Children.  Minors under the age of 13 may not use the Application or Sites.  We do not collect or maintain information from anyone known to be under the age of 13, and no part of the Application or Sites is designed to attract anyone under the age of 13.

(f)  Notice of Privacy Rights to California Residents.  California law requires that we provide you with a summary of your privacy rights under the California Online Privacy Protection Act (the “Act”) and the California Business and Professions Code.  As required by the Act, we will provide you with the categories of Personal Information (if any) that we collect through the Application or Sites and the categories of third-party persons or entities with whom such information may be shared for direct marketing purposes at your request.   California law requires us to inform you, at your request of:  (1) the categories of Personal Information we collect and what third parties we share that information with; (2) the names and addresses of those third parties; and (3) examples of the products marketed by those companies.  California law further requires us to allow you to control who you do not want us to share the foregoing information with.  To obtain this information, please send a request to:  Cloud Nine Development, LLC, 14915 Outlook Lane, Overland Park, KS 66223.  When contacting us, please indicate your name, address, email address, and what Personal Information you do not want us to share.  The request should be labeled “California Customer Choice Notice.”  Please allow at least 30 days for a response. 

(g)  Changes to Privacy Policy.   We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting the revised Privacy Policy in the “Privacy Policy” section of this Agreement.  You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to review our Privacy Policy periodically to learn of any modifications.  Your continued use of the Application or Sites after the posting of the revised Privacy Policy shall constitute your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.  

12.  GENERAL. 

(a)  Waiver.  Our failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or limitation of our rights subsequently to enforce and compel strict compliance with every provision of this Agreement.

(b)  Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue.  This Agreement shall be interpreted under and governed by the laws of the State of Kansas without giving effect to Kansas conflicts of laws principles or provisions.  Any action properly brought pursuant to this Agreement, shall be brought in the state or federal courts sitting in Johnson County, Kansas, and You hereby waive any challenges to jurisdiction and venue (other than a challenge based on the obligation to arbitrate) for any such action brought by us.  In the event of any litigation over this Agreement if we are the prevailing party, You agree to pay all of our expenses associated with such litigation, including (without limitation) court costs and attorneys’ fees.

(c)  Severability.  If any term or provision in this Agreement is found to be void, against public policy, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction and such finding or order becomes final and non-appealable, then the offending provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.  If the offending provision cannot be so modified, then the same shall be deemed stricken in its entirety, and unless such term or provision is material to the performance of this Agreement, the remainder of this Agreement shall survive with the offending provision eliminated.

(d)  Amendment or Modification.  This Agreement may not be amended except by a written instrument signed by you and by us.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may, from time to time, post amendments to this Agreement.  Your further use of the Application and Sites following the posting, by us, of such an amendment will constitute your agreement to such amendment or modification.  If you do not wish to accept such amendment or modification, you must cease all further use of the Application and the Sites.

(e)  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, oral or otherwise, not embodied herein.  Any and all prior discussions, negotiations, commitments, and understandings relating thereto are merged herein. 

(f)  Arbitration.  All disputes between You and Cloud Nine arising in connection with this Agreement (other than actions for injunctive relief as set forth in Section 12(g) below) shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, using the Expedited Procedures, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The arbitrator shall be an individual generally skilled in the legal and business aspects of the subject matter of this Agreement.  The arbitrator shall have no authority to impose penalties or award punitive damages.  The arbitration shall take place in Overland Park, Kansas and the arbitrator shall apply the law of the State of Kansas and applicable rules of evidence.  If all parties and the arbitrator agree, arbitration may take place by telephone or by written communication.  Unless the arbitrator otherwise directs, the parties, their representatives, other participants, and the arbitrator shall hold the existence, content, and result of the arbitration in confidence.  No action, regardless of form, related to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement may be brought by either party against the other more than one (1) year after the cause of action has accrued. 

 

(g)  Injunctive Relief.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, we may seek immediate injunctive relief (whether temporary or preliminary) in the event of Your infringement or threatened infringement of any intellectual property rights of Cloud Nine or any Content Provider or a breach or threatened breach of Your obligations hereunder.  You acknowledge that any such infringement, threatened infringement, breach, or threatened breach will result in irreparable damage to us and will inflict injury difficult to remedy through monetary damages alone.  Accordingly, with respect to any such infringement, threatened infringement, breach, or threatened breach, we may seek and obtain, from a court of competent jurisdiction, such preliminary, temporary, or permanent injunctive relief as the court may award, without the need for us to post or file any bond or like surety or security. 

(h)  Headings.  The paragraph or section headings used herein are for convenience only and in no way define, limit, extend, or interpret the scope of this Agreement or of any particular paragraph hereof.
