OJO Terms of Service

OJO is on a mission to empower people to make better decisions through the fusion of machine and human intelligence. Our unique, patented AI technology products can conduct text conversations with consumers at scale. By combining natural language understanding with data and personalization, our products allow for consumers to deeply engage in a purchase process prior to interacting with a salesperson.

In these OJO terms of service, “we”, “us”, “our”, “OJO” or “OJO Labs” refers to OJO Labs Inc., 1007 S Congress, Building 9, Suite 400, Austin, Texas 78704, and the terms “you”, “your” and “user” will refer to you. When referring to the “OJO services,” we mean to include, both our phone-based and text-based services (the “OJO mobile services”) and our website and web app based services (the “OJO web app”) and also various websites, applications, web applications, text messages, email notifications and other mediums, or portions of such mediums, provided by OJO.

You agree to our Terms by using the OJO services. By using the OJO services, you accept and agree to these Terms. If you are using the OJO services on behalf of an organization, then you are agreeing to these Terms for that organization and promising to OJO that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms (and, in which case, the terms “you” and “your” or “user” will refer to that organization). The exception to this is if that organization has a separate written agreement with OJO covering the use of the OJO services, in which case, if there are any provisions in these Terms that conflicts with that agreement, that agreement will govern such use.

Whether using the OJO services as an individual or on behalf of an organization, you acknowledge that our agreements contained in these Terms are supported by reasonable and valuable consideration, including, without limitation, your ability to visit, use, submit information to, or receive information from the OJO services, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged by you individually and on behalf of any organization you represent. You also represent that you have the capacity to be bound by our agreements contained in these Terms, or if you are acting on behalf of a company or other entity, you have the authority to bind such company or entity.

By using the OJO services, you agree to receive phone calls and text messages from us and our partners. By using the OJO services, you expressly authorize OJO, its affiliated companies and its partners (described below) and each such entity’s employees, contractors and software (collectively, “Service Provider”) to communicate with you by phone and text at the wireless phone number provided or any other number that you may provide in the future. You understand that message and data rates may apply based upon the terms of your wireless service provider contract. You also agree that methods of contact may include use of auto-generated text messages or an automated telephone dialing system, even if you’ve registered that number on a Do-Not-Call registry, and that my consent to text messages and phone calls is not a condition to using any Service Provider’s services. If you do not consent to receive these texts or calls, do not use the OJO service or provide your information to us.

You agree to indemnify Service Provider in full for all claims, expenses, and damages related to or caused in whole or in part by your failure to notify Service Provider if you change your wireless phone number, including but not limited to all claims, expenses, and damages related to or arising under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). You agree to notify Service Provider promptly if you change your wireless telephone number. You may revoke your consent to receive (i) phone calls by requesting to be placed on an internal Do Not Call list and (ii) text messages by responding to a text message with STOP. You understand this authorization cannot be revoked to the extent that action has already been taken in reliance on this authorization prior to the date Service Provider receives my request to revoke authorization.

Our partners include (i) real estate brokers, including Realogy Holdings Corporation, Realogy Group LLC and their subsidiaries, affiliates and franchisees (including Realogy Services Group LLC, NRT LLC and franchisees operating under the Century 21, Coldwell Banker, Coldwell Banker Commercial, ERA, Sotheby’s International Realty, and Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate brands); (ii) mortgage lead aggregators, including Bankrate, LLC and its parent, subsidiary and affiliated companies (including BR Tech Services, LLC); and (iii) in Canada, Royal Bank of Canada and its affiliated companies and real estate brokers, including Royal LePage Real Estate Services, a division of Brookfield Real Estate Services Manager Limited, or to the following independently owned and operated franchise locations: Royal LePage Burloak Real Estate Services, Royal LePage Estate Realty, Royal LePage Meadowtowne Realty, Royal LePage Wolle Realty, Royal LePage Your Community Realty.

In the event of a dispute between us, we agree to binding arbitration. These Terms contain a binding arbitration agreement, which provides that you and OJO agree to resolve certain disputes through binding individual arbitration and give up any right to have those disputes decided by a judge or a jury. You have the right to opt out of our agreement to arbitrate. See the Legal Disputes section below.

Products or services that you may purchase from our Referral Partners are not OJO products or services, but, instead, are being offered by third parties.

Ownership and Confidentiality

What’s ours is ours, and what’s yours is yours.

Please let us know what you think about our services. If you send us feedback, we can use it and we don’t owe you anything for it.

We both agree not to tell anyone else about confidential information that we get from each other. Also, we both agree to only use each other’s confidential information as agreed to in these terms.
As between you and OJO, we exclusively own and reserve all right, title and interest in and to the OJO services and our Confidential Information. As between you and OJO, you exclusively own and reserve all right, title and interest in and to your Confidential Information.

We also welcome your feedback about the OJO services. But please know that by submitting suggestions or other feedback about the OJO services (“Suggestions”) you agree that:

  • we are not under any obligation of confidentiality with respect to your Suggestions
  • we may use or disclose (or choose not to use or disclose) your Suggestions for any purpose and in any way;
  • you irrevocably, non-exclusively license to us rights to exploit your Suggestions; and
  • you are not entitled to any compensation or reimbursement of any kind from us under any circumstances for your Suggestions.


"Confidential Information" means any information or data, regardless of whether it is in tangible form, disclosed by either party that is marked or otherwise designated as confidential or proprietary or that should otherwise be reasonably understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances surrounding disclosure. Confidential Information does not include any information which: (a) is publicly available through no fault of the receiving party; (b) was properly known to the receiving party, without restriction, prior to disclosure by the disclosing party; (c) was properly disclosed to the receiving party, without restriction, by another person without violation of the disclosing party's rights; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of or reference to the Confidential Information of the disclosing party.
Money alone may not be enough to make either of us whole if one of us breaks our promise of confidentiality. So, we both can seek other remedies, if needed.
The receiving party agrees that it will use the Confidential Information of the disclosing party solely in accordance with these Terms and it will not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party without the disclosing party's prior written consent, except as otherwise permitted hereunder; provided, however, OJO may use and disclose your Confidential Information as necessary to provide the OJO services, including making referrals to our Referral Partners. The receiving party agrees to exercise due care in protecting Confidential Information of the disclosing party from unauthorized use and disclosure. The receiving party may disclose the Confidential Information of the disclosing party, in whole or in part to its employees, representatives, actual or potential investors, and subcontractors who have a need to know and are legally bound to keep such information confidential consistent with the terms of this provision. The receiving party may disclose the Confidential Information of the disclosing party as required by applicable Law provided that, prior to any such compelled disclosure, the receiving party will, if permissible: (a) promptly notify the disclosing party in writing to allow the disclosing party a reasonable opportunity to resist such disclosure and/or seek a protective order, and (b) reasonably cooperate with the disclosing party in protecting against any such disclosure and/or obtaining a protective order narrowing the scope of such disclosure. In the event that such protection against disclosure is not obtained, the receiving party will be entitled to disclose the Confidential Information of the disclosing party, but only as and to the extent necessary to legally comply with such compelled disclosure. The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that no adequate remedy may exist at law for an actual or threatened breach of this provision and that, in the event of an actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this provision, the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without waiving any other rights or remedies available to it. Each party will promptly notify the other in writing if it becomes aware of any violations of the confidentiality obligations set forth in this provision.
Warranty Disclaimer

We are offering the OJO services “as is” and make no representations and warranties regarding the OJO services.

THE OJO SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. TO THE EXTENT SUCH DISCLAIMER CONFLICTS WITH APPLICABLE LAW, THE SCOPE AND DURATION OF ANY APPLICABLE WARRANTY WILL BE THE MINIMUM PERMITTED UNDER SUCH LAW.
Indemnification

You agree to indemnify OJO against all claims relating to your use of the OJO services
OJO will have no liability or obligation with respect to any claims, demands, actions, suits, discovery demands, including, without limitation, third party subpoenas, government investigations or enforcement actions (“Claim”) and any damages, liabilities, losses, settlements, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) (“Losses”) related thereto arising out of your use of the OJO services.

You will defend, indemnify and hold OJO, its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders, and affiliates (“OJO Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against all Claims brought or threatened by a third party against an OJO Indemnified Party and any Losses related thereto alleging or arising out of your breach of or activities under these Terms or your use of the OJO services.

As a condition of your foregoing indemnification obligations: (a) OJO will promptly notify you of any Claim, provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve you of your obligations hereunder except to the extent that you are actually and materially prejudiced by such failure; (b) you will have the sole and exclusive authority to defend or settle any such Claim (provided that, you will obtain OJO’s consent in connection with any act or forbearance required by OJO, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld); and (c) OJO will reasonably cooperate with you in connection with your activities hereunder, at your sole expense. You reserve the right, at your own expense, to participate in the defense of a Claim. You, in connection with a Claim, will pay all Losses following notice of the Claim. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, you will not settle any Claims for which you have an obligation to indemnify admitting liability or fault on behalf of OJO, nor create any obligation on behalf of OJO without OJO’s prior written consent.

We may suspend the OJO services immediately upon notice for cause if: (a) you violate (or give us reason to believe you have violated) these Terms; (b) there is reason to believe the traffic created from your use of the OJO services or your use of the OJO services is fraudulent or negatively impacting the operating capability of the OJO services; (c) we determine, in our sole discretion, that providing the OJO services is prohibited by applicable Law, or it has become impractical or unfeasible for any legal or regulatory reason to provide the OJO services.

General
Compliance with Laws:

Both you and OJO will comply with the applicable Law relating to each of our respective activities pursuant to these Terms.

No Waiver: Our failure to enforce at any time any provision of these Terms does not waive our right to do so later. And, if we do expressly waive any provision of these Terms, that does not mean it is waived for all time in the future. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by you and us to be legally binding.

Assignment: You will not assign or otherwise transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign, delegate, or transfer these Terms will be null and void. Subject to this Assignment section, these Terms will be binding on both you and OJO and each of our successors and assigns.

Unenforceability: Except as described in the Agreement to Arbitrate section, if any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable and, in any event, the rest of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.

Notices: Any notice required or permitted to be given under these Terms will be given in writing to the receiving party by personal delivery, certified mail, return receipt requested, overnight delivery by a nationally recognized carrier or by email upon confirmation of receipt. Notices to OJO shall be copied to legal@ojolabs.com, Attn: General Counsel.

Entire Agreement: Except as provided in these Terms and any attachments to these Terms, these Terms supersede all prior and contemporaneous proposals, statements, marketing materials or presentations and agreements, oral and written. No oral or written information or advice given by OJO, its agents or employees will create a warranty or in any way increase the scope of the warranties in these Terms. Any purchase order document or similar document provided by you shall be construed solely as evidence of your internal business processes, and the terms and conditions contained thereon shall be void and have no effect with regard to these Terms between you and OJO and be non-binding against OJO even if signed by OJO after the date you accept these Terms.

Force Majeure: No failure, delay or default in performance of any obligation of a party shall constitute an event of default or breach of these Terms to the extent that such failure to perform, delay or default arises out of a cause, existing or future, that is beyond the control and without negligence of such party, including action or inaction of governmental, civil or military authority; fire; strike, lockout or other labor dispute; flood, terrorist act; war; riot; theft; earthquake and other natural disaster. The party affected by such cause shall take all reasonable actions to minimize the consequences of any such cause.

Governing Law and Venue: The enforceability and interpretation of the Agreement to Arbitrate section below will be determined by the Federal Arbitration Act (including its procedural provisions). Apart from the arbitration provision, these Terms will be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Texas without regard to conflicts of laws and principles that would cause laws of another jurisdiction to apply. These Terms will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Except as provided in the Arbitration section below, any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the OJO services shall be instituted in either the state or federal courts of Austin, Texas, and we each consent to the personal jurisdiction of these courts.
Agreement to Arbitrate
Before bringing a formal legal case, please first try contacting our Customer Support. Most disputes can be resolved that way.

We Both Agree to Arbitrate: If a dispute cannot be resolved through our Customer Support team, you or any of your affiliates on one hand and OJO and any of OJO’s affiliates on the other hand, all agree to resolve any dispute relating to these Terms or in relation to the OJO services by binding arbitration in Austin, Texas, or in another location that we have both agreed to.

This applies to all claims under any legal theory, unless the claim fits in one of the exceptions below in Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. It also applies even after you have stopped using the OJO services. If we have a dispute about whether this agreement to arbitrate can be enforced or applies to our dispute, we all agree that the arbitrator will decide that, too.

Pursuant to this Agreement to Arbitrate section, you understand that you and your affiliates and OJO and its affiliates are giving up the right to have a judge and/or jury resolve any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the OJO services.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate: You and your affiliates on one hand, and OJO and its affiliates on the other hand, agree that we will go to court to resolve disputes relating to your, your affiliates’, OJO’s or OJO’s affiliates’ intellectual property (e.g., trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights or patents).

In addition, if any of us brings a claim in court that should be arbitrated or any of us refuses to arbitrate a claim that should be arbitrated, the other of us can ask a court to force us to go to arbitration to resolve the claim (i.e., compel arbitration). Any of us may also ask a court to halt a court proceeding while an arbitration proceeding is ongoing.

Details of Arbitration Procedure: Prior to filing any arbitration, both parties jointly agree to seek to resolve any dispute between us by mediation conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA), with all mediator fees and expenses paid equally by the parties. If mediation is not successful, either party may initiate an arbitration proceeding with AAA. You can look at AAA’s rules and procedures on their website [http://www.adr.org] or you can call them at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration will be governed by the then-current version of AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "Rules") and will be held with a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Rules. To the extent anything described in this Agreement to Arbitrate section conflicts with the Rules, the language of this Agreement to Arbitrate section applies. Each of us will be entitled to get a copy of non-privileged relevant documents in the possession or control of the other party and to take a reasonable number of depositions. All such discovery will be in accordance with procedures approved by the arbitrator. This Agreement to Arbitrate section does not alter in any way the statute of limitations that would apply to any claims or counterclaims asserted by either party. The arbitrator’s award will be based on the evidence admitted and the substantive law of the State of Texas and the United States, as applicable, and will contain an award for each issue and counterclaim. The award will provide in writing the factual findings and legal reasoning for such award. The arbitrator will not be entitled to modify these Terms. Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the arbitration award will be final and binding on the parties. Judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class Action Waiver
Both you and your affiliates, on one hand, and OJO and its affiliates on the other hand, agree that any claims or controversies between us must be brought against each other on an individual basis only. That means neither you and your affiliates on one hand nor OJO and its affiliates on the other hand can bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action, or representative action. The arbitrator cannot combine more than one person’s or entity’s claims into a single case, and cannot preside over any consolidated, class or representative proceeding (unless we agree otherwise). And, the arbitrator’s decision or award in one person’s or entity’s case can only impact the person or entity that brought the claim, not other OJO customers, and cannot be used to decide other disputes with other customers. If a court decides that this Class Action Waiver provision is not enforceable or valid, then the entire Agreement to Arbitrate section will be null and void, but the rest of the Terms will still apply.
