9. Payments and Billing.
(a) Paid Services. Certain of our Services are or may in the future become subject to payments (the "Paid Services"). Please see our Paid Services at https://trypicnic.com/#Pricing for a description of the currently available Paid Services and use our website or contact us directly to sign up for Paid Services. Please note that any payment terms presented to you in the process of using or signing up for a Paid Service are deemed part of these Terms of Services. All amounts are stated in, and shall be paid in, U.S. dollars. We do not transmit invoices automatically, but they can be provided in PDF format from our support department upon your request to hello@trypicnic.com
(b) Payment; Late Fees. By signing up to receive any Paid Services, you agree to pay us, in accordance with all applicable payment terms set forth on https://trypicnic.com/#Pricing and any additional Services you sign up for and herein, the Fees for such Paid Services, and you authorize us, through the Payment Processor (defined below), to charge your chosen payment provider ("Payment Method") for the applicable Fees and agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method. Unpaid invoices are subject to a finance charge of 5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection. If our collection efforts fail, unpaid debts will be reported to all available credit reporting agencies.
(c) Taxes. Fees are exclusive of any taxes. You shall be responsible for all taxes, tariffs, levies and duties associated with the Services other than U.S. taxes based on Picnic's net income.
(d) Billing. We use a thirdparty payment processor (the "Payment Processor") to bill you through a payment account linked to your Account on the Services (your "Billing Account") for use of the Paid Services. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to these Terms of Service. We are not responsible for errors by the Payment Processor but we reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that the Payment Processor makes, even if the Payment Processor has already requested or received payment. The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen Payment Method. If we, through the Payment Processor, do not receive payment from you, you agree to pay all amounts due on your Billing Account upon demand.
(e) AutoRenewal. Fees for Paid Services ordered on a subscription or autorenewing basis will be automatically charged (according to your renewal term) on a recurring basis, and when signing up for a Paid Service, you will be able to select a recurring billing level and in some cases your renewal term ("Subscription"). Unless you cancel or change your Subscription in accordance with these Terms of Service, any Subscription you have signed up for will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as you originally selected, at the then current non-promotional rate. By signing up for a Subscription, you agree that we may submit the charges associated with such Subscription for payment on the applicable schedule and you will be responsible for such charges. Your charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when you initially selected to use the Subscription. BY SIGNING UP FOR A SUBSCRIPTION YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES (E.G., MONTHLY) WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU PROVIDE PRIOR NOTICE (RECEIPT OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY US) THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE REASONABLY COULD ACT. TO TERMINATE OR ALTER YOUR SUBSCRIPTION OR CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD, CONTACT US at hello@trypicnic.com. This does not waive our right to seek payment directly from you.
(f) Current Information Required. YOU MUST PROVIDE CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE INFORMATION FOR YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT. YOU MUST PROMPTLY UPDATE ALL INFORMATION TO KEEP YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE (SUCH AS A CHANGE IN BILLING ADDRESS, CREDIT CARD NUMBER, OR CREDIT CARD EXPIRATION DATE), AND YOU MUST PROMPTLY NOTIFY US OR OUR PAYMENT PROCESSOR IF YOUR PAYMENT METHOD IS CANCELED (E.G., FOR LOSS OR THEFT) OR IF YOU BECOME AWARE OF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF SECURITY, SUCH AS THE UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OR USE OF YOUR ACCOUNT CREDENTIALS OR PASSWORD. CHANGES TO SUCH INFORMATION CAN BE MADE BY CONTACTING US athello@trypicnic.com. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE ANY OF THE FOREGOING INFORMATION, YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY CONTINUE CHARGING YOU FOR ANY USE OF PAID SERVICES UNDER YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT UNLESS YOU HAVE TERMINATED YOUR PAID SERVICES AS SET FORTH ABOVE.
(g) Cancelling or Changing Paid Services. To change or resign your Paid Services at any time, contact us at hello@trypicnic.com. Any request for cancellation must be sent at least ten (10) business days prior to the end of the Subscription term to allow for adequate processing time. Your non-termination or continued use of the relevant Paid Service reaffirms that we are authorized to charge your Payment Method the Fees for such Paid Service, including any associated fees (e.g. overage fees or late fees, to the extent applicable). If you terminate a Subscription, you may use the applicable Paid Service until the end of your then current Subscription term; however, your Subscription, and therefore access to the Paid Services, will not be renewed after your then current Subscription term expires. You will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of any Fees paid for the then current Subscription period.
(h) Change in Amount Authorized. If the amount to be charged to your Billing Account varies from the amount you preauthorized (other than due to the imposition or change in the amount of state sales taxes), you have the right to receive, and we shall provide, notice of the amount to be charged and the date of the charge before the scheduled date of the transaction. Any agreement you have with your payment provider will govern your use of your Payment Method. You agree that we may accumulate charges incurred and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each billing cycle.
(i) No Refunds. Payment obligations are non-cancelable. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms of Service, Picnic will not, under any circumstances, issue refunds or prorate any Fees for early cancellation or termination of the Services, or for any other reason.
(j) Chargeback Policy; Disputes. If you have a question about charges made to your Account, please contact us immediately. If the charges were made in error, we will credit your Billing Account or Payment Method for the appropriate amount. Picnic will determine, in its sole discretion, and using commercially reasonable efforts, a resolution binding upon all parties, in case of any such payment disputes. Please note that Picnic has a zero tolerance policy for chargebacks and you hereby agree not to issue or file for any chargebacks or payment reversals for any Fees. Any customer who disputes a credit card payment that is found to be valid will be permanently banned from use of any and all Picnic Services. In the event of a breach of this Section, you will pay Picnic $1,000 per chargeback (the "Chargeback Fee") in addition to the actual amount of the chargeback and all other amounts owed to Picnic. You acknowledges that Picnic will suffer a material adverse impact on its business if this Section is breached, and that the resulting damages may not be susceptible of precise determination. You acknowledges that the Chargeback Fee contemplated by this Section hereof is a reasonable approximation of such damage and will be deemed to be liquidated damages and not a penalty.
10. Termination.
(a) Termination by Either Party.We may terminate your access to and use of the Services, at our sole discretion, at any time and without notice to you.

You acknowledge and agree that you and Picnic are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. You may bring claims only on your own behalf. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person's account, if we are a party to the proceeding. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of, related to or connected with the use of the Services or these Terms of Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim of action arose or be forever banned.
(b) Severability. If this paragraph "Agreement to Arbitrate" is held unenforceable, then all of the provisions that constitute the "Dispute Resolution; Agreement to Arbitrate" section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this "Dispute Resolution; Agreement to Arbitrate" section will survive any termination of these Terms.
(c) Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this "Dispute Resolution" section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.
(d) Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
(e) Arbitration Location and Procedure. The arbitration will be conducted in a county of Picnic's choice. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and Picnic submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. The amounts set forth in this paragraph shall not impact the interpretation or enforceability of the limits on liability set forth elsewhere in these Terms.
(f) Arbitrator's Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator's decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator's award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the "Limitation of Liability" section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with these Terms of Service.
(g) Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), you may be liable for additional fees.
(h) Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of the "Modification" section above, if Picnic changes this "Dispute Resolution; Agreement to Arbitrate" section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to hello@trypicnic.com) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the "Last Updated" date above or in the date of Picnic's email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Picnic in accordance with the provisions of this "Dispute Resolution" section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 03/05/2019
Protecting your privacy is really important to us. With this in mind, we're providing this Privacy Policy to explain our practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of information that we receive through our Services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party websites, services or applications, even if they are accessible through our Services. Also, please note that, unless we define a term in this Privacy Policy, all capitalized terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms of Service. So, please make sure that you have read and understand our Terms of Service.
Revisions to this Privacy Policy
Any information that is collected via our Services is covered by the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected. We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we'll notify you of those changes by posting them on the Services, here at trypicnic.com/legal, or by sending you an email or other notification; and we'll update the "Last Updated Date" above to indicate when those changes will become effective.
Collection and Use of Information
Information Collected or Received from You
Our primary goals in collecting information are to provide and improve our Services, to administer your use of the Services (including your Account, if you are an Account holder), and to enable you to enjoy and easily navigate our Services.
Account Information.If you create an Account, we'll collect certain information that can be used to identify you, such as your name, email address, phone number, organization's name, username, password, and postal address ("PII"). You acknowledge that this information may be personal to you, and by creating an account on the Services and providing Personal Information to us, you allow others, including us, to identify you and therefore may not be anonymous. We may use your contact information to send you information about our Services.
User Content.Some features of the Services may now or in the future allow you to provide content to the Services, such as written comments. All content submitted by you to the Services may be retained by us indefinitely, even after you terminate your account. We may continue to disclose such content to third parties in a manner that does not reveal Personal Information, as described in this Privacy Policy.
Information Collected Using Cookies and other Web Technologies.Like many website owners and operators, we use automated data collection tools such as Cookies and Web Beacons to collect certain information.
"Cookies"are small text files that are placed on your device by a web server when you access our Services. We may use both session Cookies and persistent Cookies to identify that you've logged in to the Services and to tell us how and when you interact with our Services. We may also use Cookies to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing on our Services and to customize and improve our Services. Unlike persistent Cookies, session Cookies are deleted when you log off from the Services and close your browser. Although most browsers automatically accept Cookies, you can change your browser options to stop automatically accepting Cookies or to prompt you before accepting Cookies. Please note, however, that if you don't accept Cookies, you may not be able to access all portions or features of the Services. Some third-party services providers that we engage (including third-party advertisers) may also place their own Cookies on your device. Note that this Privacy Policy covers only our use of Cookies and does not include use of Cookies by such third parties.
"Web Beacons"(also known as web bugs, pixel tags or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may be included on our Services for several purposes, including to deliver or communicate with Cookies, to track and measure the performance of our Services, to monitor how many visitors view our Services, and to monitor the effectiveness of our advertising. Unlike Cookies, which are stored on the device, Web Beacons are typically embedded invisibly on web pages (or in an e-mail).
Information Related to Use of the Services.Our servers automatically record certain information about how a person uses our Services (we refer to this information as "Log Data"), including both Account holders and non-Account holders (either, a "User"). Log Data may include information such as a User's Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, the web page that a User was visiting before accessing our Services, the pages or features of our Services to which a User browsed and the time spent on those pages or features, search terms, the links on our Services that a User clicked on and other statistics. We use Log Data to administer the Services and we analyze (and may engage third parties to analyze) Log Data to improve, customize and enhance our Services by expanding their features and functionality and tailoring them to our Users' needs and preferences. We may use a person's IP address to generate aggregate, non- identifying information about how our Services are used.
Information Sent by Your Mobile Device. We collect certain information that your mobile device sends when you use our Services, like a device identifier, user settings and the operating system of your device, as well as information about your use of our Services.
Location Information.When you use our App, we may collect and store information about your location by converting your IP address into a rough geo-location or by accessing your mobile device's GPS coordinates or coarse location if you enable location services on your device. We may use location information to improve and personalize our Services for you. If you do not want us to collect location information, you may disable that feature on your mobile device.
Information that We Share with Third Parties
We will not share any PII that we have collected from or regarding you except as described below:
Information Shared with Our Services Providers.We may engage third-party services providers to work with us to administer and provide the Services. These third-party services providers generally have access to your PII only for the purpose of performing services on our behalf, unless you agree to a separate privacy policy governing the use of such information by such third-party providers.
Information Provided to Payment Processing Services.We may share your PII and any necessary payment information, such as credit card number, expiration date and billing address, with our payment processing services providers in order to complete transactions that are initiated through the Services. We do not currently collect financial information, such as your payment method (valid credit card number, type, expiration, date or other financial information); that information is collected and stored by our third party payment processing company (the "Payment Processor"), and use and storage of that information is governed by the Payment Processor's applicable terms of service and privacy policy. However, we may from time to time request and receive some of your financial information from our Payment Processor for the purposes of completing transactions you have initiated through the Services, enrolling you in
discount, rebate, and other programs in which you elect to participate, protecting against or identifying possible fraudulent transactions, and otherwise as needed to manage our business.
We may also share your PII with our marketing service providers to help us better market our products and services to you. These marketing service providers may use your PII only for the purpose of helping us to provide relevant products and services information to you. If you don't want us to use your PII for these marketing purposes, you can opt out by contacting us at hello@trypicnic.com
Information Shared with Third Parties.We may share anonymized or aggregated data we collect from the use of the Services, such as de-identified demographic information, de-identified location information, information about the computer or device from which you access the Services, market trends and other analysis that we create based on the information we receive from you and other users.
Information Shared with Web Analytics Services Providers.Among other services, we may use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"), to gather information about how users engage with our Site and Services. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can opt out of Google's collection and processing of data generated by your use of the Services by going to http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Opt-out of Ad Tracking.You can opt out of the collection and use of your information for ad targeting by going to http://www.aboutads.info/choices orhttp://www.youronlinechoices.eu/ to limit collection through the Site or by configuring the settings on your mobile device to limit ad tracking through the App.
Information Disclosed in Connection with Business Transactions.Information that we collect from our users, including PII, is considered to be a business asset. Thus, if we are acquired by a third party as a result of a transaction such as a merger, acquisition or asset sale or if our assets are acquired by a third party in the event we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, some or all of our assets, including your PII, may be disclosed or transferred to a third party acquirer in connection with the transaction.
Information Disclosed for Our Protection and the Protection of Others.We cooperate with government and law enforcement officials or private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We may disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate: (i) to respond to claims, legal process (including subpoenas); (ii) to protect our property, rights and safety and the property, rights and safety of a third party or the public in general; and (iii) to stop any activity that we consider illegal, unethical or legally actionable activity.
Your Choices
We offer you choices regarding the collection, use and sharing of your PII and we'll respect the choices you make. Please note that if you decide not to provide us with the PII that we request, you may not be able to access all of the features of the Services.
Opt-Out.We may periodically send you free newsletters and e-mails that directly promote our Services. When you receive such promotional communications from us, you will have the opportunity to "opt-out" (either through your Account or by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the e-mail you receive). We do need to send you certain communications regarding the Services and you will not be able to opt out of those communications - e.g., communications regarding updates to our Terms of Service or this Privacy Policy or information about billing.
Modifying Your Information.You can access and modify the PII associated with your Account by contacting us at hello@trypicnic.com. If you want us to delete your PII and your Account, please contact us at hello@trypicnic.com with your request. We'll take steps to delete your information as soon we can, but some information may remain in archived/backup copies for our records or as otherwise required by law.
Responding to Do Not Track Signals
Our Site does not have the capability to respond to "Do Not Track" signals received from various web browsers.
The Security of Your Information
We take reasonable administrative, physical and electronic measures designed to protect the information that we collect from or about you (including your PII) from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When you enter sensitive information on our forms, we encrypt this data using SSL or other technologies. Please be aware, however, that no method of transmitting information over the Internet or storing information is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information.
Links to Other Sites
Our Services may contain links to websites and services that are owned or operated by third parties (each, a "Third-party Service"). Any information that you provide on or to a Third-party Service or that is collected by a Third-party Service is provided directly to the owner or operator of the Third-party Service and is subject to the owner's or operator's privacy policy. We're not responsible for the content, privacy or security practices and policies of any Third-party Service. To protect your information we recommend that you carefully review the privacy policies of all Third-party Services that you access.
International Transfer
Your PII may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. If you're located outside the United States and choose to provide your PII to us, we may transfer your PII to the United States and process it there.
Our Policy Toward Children
Our Services are not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect PII from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected PII of a child under 13 we will take steps to delete such information from our files as soon as possible.
Your California Privacy Rights
California residents may request and obtain from us, once a year, free of charge, a list of third parties, if any, to which we disclosed their PII for direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year and the categories of PII shared with those third parties. If you are a California resident and wish to obtain that information, please submit your request by sending us an email at hello@trypicnic.com with "California Privacy Rights" in the subject line.
