These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our Service. Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all who visit, access, or use the Service.

1. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE

1.1 By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization or entity ("Organization"), then you agree to these Terms on behalf of that Organization, and you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind the Organization to these Terms. In that case, "you" and "your" refers to you and that Organization. These Terms become legally binding upon you personally and upon any entity that you represent, as of the date that any service provided by Taskmaverick is used (the "Effective Date") by either of you.

1.2 You may use the Service only if you can form a binding contract with Taskmaveric in compliance with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules, and regulations. The Service may change from time to time as we evolve, refine, or add more features to the Service, often without prior notice to you. Also, Taskmaverick may temporarily or permanently stop providing the Service, or any features within the Service, to you or users generally and may not be able to provide you with prior notice. The Service is offered as is, where is, without any future commitment to anything by Taskmaverick other than what is published and accessible on the web or via the mobile application at the time. Taskmaverick makes no warranty that what is published and accessible will remain as such in the future.

2. REGISTRATION & ADMINISTRATION

2.1 The first User who creates an account ("Account") and registers to the Service is automatically assigned as the Admin. The Admin is also considered a User of the Service. Taskmaverick will not be responsible for any losses to you caused by any unauthorized access or usage of the account. 

2.2 We consider the Admin(s) as the authorized representative(s) of the enrolling entity as well as any person who gains access through the Admin's access credentials, whether voluntarily or otherwise. Any access to the Service through valid credentials is construed to be authorized access until we are informed and can confirm otherwise. An Admin's actions and decisions, along with the actions and decisions of anyone granted access by an Admin, shall be legally binding on each entity for which they are the Admin.  


3.1 YOUR ACCOUNT

3.1 You must provide us accurate information when you create your Taskmaverick account. Your Taskmaverick account gives you access to the Services and functionality that we may establish and maintain from time to time and at our sole discretion. We may maintain different types of accounts or account setups for different types of users or organizations, depending on how they choose to use our Service. If you connect to Taskmaverick with a third-party service, you give us permission to access and use your information from that Service as permitted by that Service and to store your login credentials for that Service. You may never use another user's account without permission.

4.0 ACCOUNT SECURITY & PRIVACY

4.1 You are responsible for safeguarding the credentials that you use to access the Service and for any activities or actions under your password, whether your password is with Taskmaverick or a third-party service. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords that use a combination of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols with your account. Current NIST standards recommend password lengths of at least eight characters. You agree not to disclose your password to any third party. Taskmaverick cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements. You must notify Taskmaverick immediately upon becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account.

4.2 Your security is important to us. Some of the security features we utilize include utilizing isolated networks deployed in a Virtual Privacy Cloud with dedicated firewalls, sophisticated role access rules, and end-to-end encryption using the reliable Transport Layer Security (TLS). Also, our database provider is ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified as well as PCI DSS compliant. Although we do our best to provide robust security, we do not guarantee that we can fully protect such data, and we, as a result of this, advise you that using the system shall be done at your own risk. 

4.3 We routinely collect and use certain Personal Information about our Users to provide services to them or improve our Service. We do not sell or purposely share that data with any third party, except as part of servicing or improving the system. Users can find information regarding our Privacy Policy at the following link: https://taskmaverick.com/privacy-policy  

4.4 We care about the privacy of our users. We collect, use, and share personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information described in our Privacy Policy. Using the Service, you agree to the collection of such information and have your personal data collected, used, and transferred to and processed in the United States.

4.5 We comply with all applicable regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (the "CCPA") as well as the General Data Protection Regulation (the "GDPR") when we store or use a jurisdictionally applicable User's personal information, as long as such personal information does not enable identification of an individual. We shall exclusively have ownership of all personal information collected by us.

You expressly and unconditionally waive any improper venue claim and any claim that said courts are an inconvenient forum. If the courts in the country where you reside should decide that the provisions or conditions of this paragraph are unenforceable, then you agree and consent to submit to binding arbitration exclusively.

22. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

22.1 The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve through negotiation any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or any matter relating in any way to your use of the Service. If the dispute, claim, or these negotiations do not resolve the controversy, the matter will be submitted to Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (a.k.a. "JAMS"), or its successor, for mediation, and if the matter is not resolved through mediation, then it shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for final and binding arbitration. Nonetheless, legal action taken by Taskmaverick to recover damages for or obtain an injunction relating to our Service, website operations, or intellectual property shall not be submitted to arbitration or mediation except as otherwise agreed in writing by Taskmaverick. Also, either you or Taskmaverick may seek any preliminary or interim relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of California, United States of America, necessary to protect the rights or property of you or Taskmaverick pending the completion of arbitration. Either party may commence the arbitration process concerning the matters submitted to mediation by filing the appropriate written demand for arbitration at any time following an initial mediation session or forty-five (45) days after the filing date of the written request for mediation, whichever happens first. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of JAMS' Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect at the time of filing of the demand for arbitration. The parties covenant that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith and share equally in its costs. Any court of competent jurisdiction may enforce the provisions of this paragraph. The party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees, and expenses, including attorneys' fees, to be paid by the party against whom enforcement is ordered.

23. CLASS ACTION 

23.1 With respect to all persons and entities, regardless of whether they have obtained or used our Service for personal, commercial, or other purposes, all claims must be brought in the parties' individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, private attorney general action or other representative proceedings. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims. 


24. GENERAL TERM DISCLOSURES, OTHER

24.4 Severability: If any provision specified herein is held to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions' enforceability or validity. Importantly, the remaining provisions of these Terms of Service shall hereby remain in full force and effect.
