Last updated: July 2024
1. Your Relationship With Us
Welcome to MagicWave. The services (including but not limited to the mobile application, products, websites, and associated software as well as the services provided therein; hereinafter collectively, “MagicWave” or “Services”) are provided by META ELEMENTS INC. in the United States. “You”, “your” and “user(s)” in these Terms (as defined below) refer to any person using the Service.

If you or any parent or legal guardian permit a Teen to use the Services, you hereby agree to these Terms on behalf of both yourself and the Teen.

In your use of the Services, you may enter into additional terms and conditions and other agreements that may alter or override these Terms of Service, such as when you enter a contest or join a special program.

We will not have any liability to you (or anyone you share your account information with) as a result of your or their actions under those circumstances. If you find out that someone’s used your account without your permission, you agree to notify us immediately.

You agree to comply with that relevant third party's terms and conditions in relation to the payment processing service when your payment is processed via a third-party service. We bear no responsibility for any transactions processed by, or any payments made to, a third party, whether or not in connection with the relevant Services. All purchases may be subject to taxes and other fees, including, without limitation, foreign exchange fees or differences in prices based on location (e.g. exchange rates), and you are solely responsible for all fees and taxes associated with any Services.

8. Disclaimers, Limitations of Liability and Indemnification
Each of the clauses below only applies up to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law.

9. Other Terms
Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the whole legal agreement between you and MagicWave and govern your use of the Services and completely replace any prior agreements between you and MagicWave in relation to the Services.
No Waiver. Our failure to insist upon or enforce any provision of these Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right.
Security. We do not guarantee that our Services will be secure or free from bugs or viruses. You are responsible for configuring your information technology, computer programs, and platform to access our Services. You should use your own virus protection software.
Severability. If any court of law, having jurisdiction to decide on this matter, rules that any provision of these Terms is invalid, then that provision will be removed from the Terms without affecting the rest of the Terms, and the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue to be valid and enforceable.
ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. This Section includes an arbitration agreement and an agreement that all claims will be brought only in an individual capacity (and not as a class action or other representative proceeding). Please read it carefully. You may opt out of the arbitration agreement by following the opt-out procedure described below.
Informal Process First. You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and MagicWave, you will first contact MagicWave and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation any court action.
Arbitration Agreement. After the informal dispute resolution process any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to your use of MagicWave’s services and/or products, including the Services, or relating in any way to the communications between you and MagicWave or any other user of the Services, will be finally resolved by binding arbitration. This mandatory arbitration agreement applies equally to you and MagicWave. However, this arbitration agreement does not (a) govern any Claim by MagicWave for infringement of its intellectual property or access to the Services that is unauthorized or exceeds authorization granted in these Terms or (b) bar you from making use of applicable small claims court procedures in appropriate cases. If you are an individual you may opt out of this arbitration agreement within thirty (30) days of the first of the date you access or use this Service by following the procedure described below.
You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision and that you and MagicWave are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision will survive any termination of these Terms.
If you wish to begin an arbitration proceeding, after following the informal dispute resolution procedure, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to:
META ELEMENTS INC, 8201 164th Ave NE, Suite 200, Redmond, WA, 98052-7615, United States
Email Address: feedback@metaelementsinc.com
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules including if you are an individual, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. If you are not an individual or have used the Services on behalf of an entity, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will not be used. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. If you are an individual and have not accessed or used the Services on behalf of an entity, we will reimburse those fees for claims where the amount in dispute is less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous, and we will not seek attorney's fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable. However, the preceding sentence will not apply to the "Class Action Waiver" section below.
If you do not want to arbitrate disputes with MagicWave and you are an individual, you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending an email to feedback@metaelementsinc.com within thirty (30) days of the first of the date you access or use the Services.
Class Action Waiver. Any Claim must be brought in the respective party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding ("Class Action"). The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. If the Claim is subject to arbitration, the arbitrator will not have the authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any person or entity not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The parties understand that any right to litigate in court, to have a judge or jury decide their case, or to be a party to a class or representative action, is waived and that any claims must be decided individually, through arbitration.
If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement, if otherwise effective, will be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and MagicWave each waive any right to a jury trial.
If a counter-notice is received by MagicWave's Copyright Agent, we may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that we may replace the removed content or cease disabling it. Unless the original complaining party files an action seeking a court order against the Content Provider, member, or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in ten business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at MagicWave's sole discretion.
Please understand that filing a counter-notification may lead to legal proceedings between you and the complaining party to determine ownership. Be aware that there may be adverse legal consequences in your country if you make a false or bad-faith allegation by using this process.
California Consumer Rights Notice. Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California users of the Services 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 the contact information set forth at https://www.dca.ca.gov/about_us/contactus.shtml.
Users of the Services who are California residents and are under 18 years of age may request and obtain the removal of User Content they posted by contacting us at: feedback@metaelementsinc.com. All requests must be labeled "California Removal Request" on the email subject line. All requests must provide a description of the User Content you want to be removed and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate that User Content. We do not accept California Removal Requests via postal mail, telephone, or facsimile. We are not responsible for notices that are not labeled or sent properly, and we may not be able to respond if you do not provide adequate information.
Exports. You agree that you will not export or re-export, directly or indirectly the Services and/or other information or materials provided by MagicWave hereunder, to any country for which the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction requires any export license or other governmental approval at the time of export without first obtaining such license or approval.
