Terms of Service

StoryQuest, Inc. (d.b.a. “Swrl”) (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is a technology company whose products and services — including Swrl and others that link to these Terms of Service (collectively, the “Services”) — provide users with the ability to compliment their friends through fun and engaging polls.

We’ve drafted these Terms of Service (which we call the “Terms”) so you’ll know the rules that govern our relationship with you as a user of our Services. Although we have tried our best to strip the legalese from the Terms, there are places where they may still read like a traditional contract. There’s a good reason for that: these Terms form a legally binding contract between you and our Company, so please read them carefully.

By using Swrl or any of our other products or services that are subject to these Terms, you agree to be bound by everything outlined in this agreement. If you agree to these Terms, Swrl grants you a non-assignable, non-exclusive, revocable, and non-sublicensable license to use the Services in accordance with these Terms and our policies. If you don’t agree with the Terms, please don’t use the Services.

ARBITRATION NOTICE: YOU AND SWRL AGREE THAT, EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DISPUTES MENTIONED IN THE ARBITRATION CLAUSE, DISPUTES BETWEEN US WILL BE RESOLVED BY MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION, AND YOU AND SWRL WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION.

Who Can Use the Services

Our services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and you must confirm that you are 13 years or older to create an account and use the Services. If we have actual knowledge that you are under the age of 13 (or the minimum age at which a person may use the Services in your state, province, or country without parental consent, if greater), we will cease providing Services to you and delete your account and your data. We may offer additional Services with additional terms that may require you to be even older to use them. So please read all such terms carefully. By using the Services, you represent, warrant, and agree that:

• You can form a binding contract with Swrl;

• You are not a person who is barred from using the Services under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction — including, for example, that you do not appear on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or face any other similar prohibition;

• You are not a convicted sex offender; and

• You will comply with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules, and regulations.

If you are old enough to use or access Swrl but are not old enough to have authority to consent to our terms, your parent or guardian must agree to these Terms on your behalf. If you’re a parent or legal guardian, and you allow your teenager to use the services, then these Terms also apply to you and you’re responsible for your teenager’s activity on the services. If you are using the Services on behalf of a business or some other entity, you represent that you are authorized to bind that business or entity to these Terms and you agree to these Terms on behalf of that business or entity (and all references to “you” and “your” in these Terms will mean both you as the end user and that business or entity).

Accounts and Software Updates

When you create your Swrl account, you agree that the information you submit is correct and complete. We may refuse you access to the Service if we learn that the information you provided is inaccurate. You may stop using the Services at any time and for any reason. You can delete your Swrl account by tapping on your profile page in the app and selecting Delete Account.

Using Swrl requires that we initially download software to your device. You agree that we may automatically update that software, and that these Terms and our policies will apply to any updates.

Your license to use Swrl

The Services, including their “look and feel” (e.g., text, graphics, images, logos), proprietary content, information and other materials, and the proprietary software and other technology used to provide the Services are protected under copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws. You agree that the Company and/or its licensors own all right, title and interest in and to the Services (including any and all intellectual property rights therein) and you agree not to take any action(s) inconsistent with such ownership interests. Although we are granting you this license, we and our licensors retain all intellectual property rights we have in our software and Services (other than User Content (defined below)), including, without limitation, the exclusive right to create derivative works.

The Swrl name and the Swrl logo or icon and all related names, logos, product and service names, designs and slogans are trademarks of the Company or its affiliates or licensors. The unauthorized use of any of these trademarks is strictly prohibited.

Some of our Services allow you to download client software. So long as you comply with these Terms, we grant you a worldwide, non-exclusive, personal, non-assignable and revocable license to download, install, and run that software, solely to access our Services.

You may not copy, modify, create derivative works based upon, distribute, sell, lease, or sublicense any of our software or Services. You also may not reverse engineer or decompile our software or Services, attempt to do so, or assist anyone in doing so, unless you have our written consent or applicable law permits it.

You own what you post

We may give you the ability to post user generated content on Swrl. If that feature is offered to you in the app, we will refer to the photos, comments, links, and other content you post as ”User Content.” You retain all rights in, and are solely responsible for, the User Content you post to Swrl.

While your User Content belongs to you, several important limitations apply:

First, User Content does not include your Swrl username. Should you or Swrl terminate your account, you do not retain any rights in the username you used. A new Swrl user may use the user name in the future.

Second, you grant Swrl 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 for the purposes of using, accessing, operating, developing and providing Swrl. Nothing in these Terms restricts other legal rights Swrl may have to User Content, for example under other licenses.

Third, we retain the right to remove or modify User Content, or change the way it’s used in Swrl, for any reason. This includes User Content that in our judgment violates these Terms or any other policies.

Fourth, content you share with others on Swrl may continue to exist on Swrl even if you leave Swrl. We may backup, archive and retain your User Content even if you terminate or deactivate your account, or delete or remove specific User Content. Swrl and its users may retain and continue to use, store, display, reproduce, re-pin, modify, create derivative works, perform, and distribute any of your User Content that other users have stored or shared on Swrl.

If you post or visit a link posted on Swrl

We may allow you to post links to third party websites, information, materials, products, or services. Please do not post links in violation of these Terms. Swrl does not control nor endorse or assume any responsibility for these links. If you access any third party website, service, or content from Swrl, you do so at your own risk. You accept and agree that Swrl has no liability arising from your use of or access to any third party website, service, or content.

If you provide us feedback

We appreciate user input on ways to make Swrl better. If you make any comments or suggestions to Swrl, you grant us a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable license to use the feedback and ideas, content and technology generated from the feedback without any restrictions, attribution, or compensation to you.

Swrl doesn’t waive any rights to use similar or related feedback provided to Swrl before or after your feedback, or developed by Swrl’s employees, or obtained from sources other than you.

Keeping your account secure

While we cannot guarantee your account from hacking by an unauthorized party, we employ security measures to keep your account and content secure. You can help us by keeping your SMS authentication code to yourself. Let us know right away of any unauthorized use or compromise to your account.

If you are blocked by Company from accessing the Service (including by blocking your IP address), you agree not to implement any measures to circumvent such blocking (e.g., by masking your IP address or using a proxy IP address or virtual private network).

Service Content

You acknowledge and agree that the Service may contain content or features (“Service Content”) that are protected by copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or other proprietary rights and laws. Except as expressly authorized by Company, you agree not to modify, copy, frame, scrape, rent, lease, loan, sell, distribute, or create derivative works based on the Service or the Service Content, in whole or in part, except that the foregoing does not apply to your own User Content that you upload to or make available through the Service in accordance with these Terms of Service. Any use of the Service or the Service Content other than as specifically authorized herein is strictly prohibited.

Competitors

No employee, independent contractor, agent, or affiliate of any competing social media company is permitted to view, access, or use any portion of the Service without express written permission from Company. By viewing, using, or accessing the Service, you represent and warrant that you are not a competitor of Company or any of its affiliates, or acting on behalf of a competitor of Company in using or accessing the Service.

Fees

To the extent the Service or any portion thereof is made available for any fee, you may be required to select a payment plan and provide information regarding your credit card or other payment instrument. You represent and warrant to Company that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. You will promptly update your account information with Company or the App Provider (as defined below), as applicable, of any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You agree to pay Company the amount that is specified in the payment plan in accordance with the terms of such plan and these Terms of Service. If your payment plan includes an ongoing subscription that is automatically renewed periodically, you hereby authorize Company (through the App Provider (as defined below)) to bill your payment instrument in advance on such periodic basis in accordance with the terms of the applicable payment plan until you terminate your account, and you further agree to pay any charges so incurred. If you dispute any charges, you must let Company know within sixty (60) days after the date that Company charges you. We reserve the right to change Company’s prices. If Company does change prices, Company will provide notice of the change through the Service user interface, a pop-up notice, email, or through other reasonable means, at Company’s option, at least thirty (30) days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. You will be responsible for all taxes associated with the Service, other than taxes based on Company’s net income.

Commercial Use

Unless otherwise expressly authorized herein or in the Service, you agree not to display, distribute, license, perform, publish, reproduce, duplicate, copy, create derivative works from, modify, sell, resell, exploit, transfer, or upload for any commercial purposes, any portion of the Service, use of the Service, or access to the Service. The Service is for your personal use.

SMS messages

Swrl may send you an SMS or short message service message, also known as a text message, for two factor authentication. Please note that message and data rates may apply. 

Access to the SMS Services

In order to use the Services, you must have a mobile communications subscription with a participating carrier or otherwise have access to a mobile communications network for which Swrl makes the Services available as well as any carrier services necessary to send text messages, and pay any service fees associated with any such access.

When you provide us your phone number

In order to use the Services, you must opt-in by providing us with your phone number (your “Phone Number”) through the Site (“Opt-in”). An invite will then be sent to your Phone Number via SMS message to complete your profile and save your Account. In addition, if you are not registered for our Services, other Users may send you a SMS message through the App inviting you. 

You understand, acknowledge and agree that (i) text message and data rates may apply for any SMS messages sent to you from us, from you to us or between Users; (ii) you are solely responsible for any fees charged by your wireless provider in connection with SMS messages that you receive or send in connection with the Opt-in and/or the Services; and (iii) you will contact your wireless provider with any questions regarding your text and/or data plan.

Once you receive an invite via SMS message and if you choose to continue use of the Services, you will be required to register for an account through the App by providing us with certain information such as your name, school, grade level, gender, skin tone, phone number, and student ID for verification. In registering for an account, you agree to: (i) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself; and (ii) maintain and promptly update your account to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we have the right to suspend or terminate your Account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Services.

Respecting Others’ Rights

Swrl respects the rights of others, and so should you. You may not use the Services, or enable anyone else to use the Services, in a manner that violates or infringes someone else’s rights of publicity, privacy, copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights. When you submit content to the Services, you agree and represent that you own that content, or that you have received all necessary permissions, clearances, and authorizations in order to submit it to the Services, and that you grant the rights and licenses contained in these Terms for your content. You also agree that you will not use or attempt to use another user’s account except as permitted by Swrl or its affiliates.

Swrl honors copyright laws, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and takes reasonable steps to expeditiously remove from our Services any infringing material that we become aware of. If Swrl becomes aware that a user has repeatedly infringed copyrights, we will take reasonable steps within our power to suspend or terminate the user’s account. If you believe that anything on the Services infringes a copyright that you own or control, please report it by emailing legal@swrl.it. Alternatively, you may file a notice with our designated agent: StoryQuest, Inc., Attn: Copyright Agent, 50 W Manor Dr #1756, Pacifica, CA 94044, email: DMCA@swrl.it. Don’t use this email address for anything other than reporting copyright infringement, as such emails will be ignored. If you file a notice with our Copyright Agent, it must comply with the requirements set forth at 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3). That means the notice must:

• Contain the physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner;
• Identify the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
• Identify the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed, or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate the material;
• Provide your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and an email address;
• Provide a personal statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• Provide a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

It is often difficult to determine if your intellectual property rights have been violated or if the DMCA requirements have been met. We may request additional information before we remove any purportedly infringing material. We have a policy of terminating the accounts of users who (in our reasonable discretion) are repeat infringers.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your license to access and use Swrl at any time and for any reason. Normally we provide notice and the reason for the termination or suspension. However, our termination or suspension may be immediate and without notice if in our sole judgement you committed a serious violation of these Terms or our policies.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Swrl, its parent company StoryQuest, Inc., and its directors, officers, employees and agents, from any and all legal actions, demands, claims, losses, expenses or damages arising out of or in any way related to your access or use of Swrl or our Service (or any other person accessing or using Swrl through your account), your User Content, any breach of these Terms or violation of our policies.

In such circumstances, you agree we are entitled to payment from you for any judgment, our reasonable legal fees and all costs we incur to defend ourselves. Our right to indemnification survives any cancellation, termination or suspension of your Swrl account.

Disclaimer and waiver of claims

WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS WHATSOEVER AS TO THE ACCURACY, USEFULNESS, SAFETY, OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY INFORMATION POSTED ON SWRL OR THE SWRL SOFTWARE. OUR SERVICE, SOFTWARE AND ALL CONTENT ON SWRL IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

YOUR USE OF SWRL IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

We do not review User Content in advance of its posting. Swrl takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any User Content that you or any other person or third party posts or sends using our Service. You understand and agree that you may be exposed to User Content that’s inaccurate, offensive, indecent, objectionable, inappropriate for children, or otherwise unsuited to your purpose.

This disclaimer and waiver of claims survives any cancellation, termination or suspension of your Swrl account and termination of these Terms.

Our liability is limited

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SWRL, ITS PARENT COMPANY STORYQUEST, INC., AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER ANY THEORY OF LAW OR IN EQUITY FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM THE USE OF INABILITY TO USE OUR SERVICE OR ITS CONTENT; ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE SERVICE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE OR ILLEGAL CONTENT OR CONDUCT OF OTHER USERS OR THIRD PARTIES; UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR CONTENT; ANY CLAIM ATTRIBUTABLE TO ERRORS, OMISSIONS, OR OTHER INACCURACIES IN THE SERVICE OR THE CONTENT); HOWSOEVER CAUSED, EVEN IF SWRL HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. ANY LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS BROUGHT AGAINST THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS IS LIMITED TO $100.00 OR SUCH THE SMALLEST AMOUNT PERMITTED BY LAW, WHICHEVER IS LESSER.

IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE, THE CONTENT OR WITH THESE TERMS, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USING THE SERVICE.

If we cause damage to you and you're a consumer in the EEA, the above doesn’t apply. Instead, Swrl’s liability will be limited to foreseeable damages arising due to a breach of material contractual obligations typical for this type of contract. Swrl isn’t liable for damages that result from a non-material breach of any other applicable duty of care. This limitation of liability won’t apply to any statutory liability that cannot be limited, to liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or willful misconduct, or if and to exclude our responsibility for something we have specifically promised to you in writing.

This limitation of liability provision survives any cancellation, termination or suspension of your Swrl account and termination of these Terms.

Arbitration and governing law

If a dispute arises with Swrl, please contact us. We will work to address it with you quickly and informally.

Should an informal resolution of the dispute prove impossible, you agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to your access or use of Swrl or these Terms, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this provision, shall be determined by final, binding and non-appealable arbitration.

Arbitration is a less expensive, and often quicker, means for parties to resolve their dispute than filing a lawsuit in a court of law. An independent and neutral arbitrator decides the case, not a judge or jury. The arbitration award is final and not subject to review by a court. Arbitrators, however, can award the same damages and relief that a court can award.

You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Service, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision and Agreement, and that you and Swrl are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms and the termination of your Swrl account. Any arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under the Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect for the AAA, except as provided herein. You can find their forms at www.adr.org.

Unless you and Swrl agree otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted in the City and County of San Francisco or Alameda County, California. Each party will be responsible for paying any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with AAA Rules, except that Swrl will pay for your reasonable filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000 and is non-frivolous (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

If your claim is for $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules.

Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision explaining the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts, including for matters related to data security, intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Service.

ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND SWRL ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS OF SERVICE SHALL AFFECT ANY NON-WAIVABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS THAT APPLY TO YOU.

To the extent any claim, dispute or controversy regarding Swrl or our Service isn’t arbitrable under applicable laws or otherwise: you and Swrl both agree that any claim or dispute regarding Swrl will be resolved exclusively in a California court governed by the laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. If you are not a consumer in the EEA, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with these Terms is San Francisco County, California, or the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and our dispute will be determined under California law.

If you're a consumer in the EEA, this arbitration provision does not apply to you.

Opt-out 

You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing an opt-out notice to our team at legal@swrl.it within 30 days of the “Last Updated” date of this policy, or within 30 days of when you first register your Swrl account, whichever is later, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Swrl also will not be bound by them.

Apple App Store

The following terms and conditions apply to you only if you are using the Swrl app from the Apple App Store. To the extent the other terms and conditions of these Terms are less restrictive than, or otherwise conflict with, the terms and conditions of this paragraph, the more restrictive or conflicting terms and conditions in this paragraph apply, but solely with respect to your use of the Swrl app from the Apple App Store. You acknowledge and agree that these Terms are solely between you and the Company, not Apple, and that Apple has no responsibility for the Swrl app or content thereof. Your use of the Swrl app must comply with the App Store’s applicable terms of use. You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the Swrl app. In the event of any failure of the Swrl app to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any, for the Swrl app to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Swrl app, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be solely governed by these Terms. You and the Company acknowledge that Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims of yours or any third party relating to the Swrl app or your possession and/or use of the Swrl app, including, but not limited to: (a) product liability claims, (b) any claim that the Swrl app fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and (c) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation. You and the Company acknowledge that, in the event of any third party claim that the Swrl app or your possession and use of that Swrl app infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, the Company, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by these Terms. You must comply with applicable third party terms of agreement when using the Swrl app. You and the Company acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of these Terms as they relate to your use of the Swrl app, and that, 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 thereof.

We may modify these Terms

We are continually working to improve Swrl. As a result, our Terms may be modified or we may publish new Terms at any time. Any modified and/or new Terms will become effective immediately upon posting. You agree that we may provide you notice of new or modified terms by posting them on the Swrl website and/or within the settings of the Swrl app. By continuing to access and use Swrl, you agree to be bound by the new or modified terms.

General provisions

Assignment

These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Swrl without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.

If you’re a consumer in the EEA, either you or Swrl may assign these Terms, and any rights and licenses granted under it, to a third party. In case of such an assignment by Swrl, you are entitled to terminate the agreement with immediate effect by deactivating your account. Swrl will provide you with reasonable notice of any such assignment.

California Residents

If you are a California resident, in accordance with Cal. Civ. 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.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and remaining provisions shall remain in full force and valid. 

No waiver

No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Swrl's failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
