We may update these Terms of Use from time to time, so please review them frequently. If we change our Terms of Use, we will post the revised version here, with an updated revision date. If we make material changes to our Terms of Use, we will notify you by email or prominently post a notice on the Site. If any changes to these Terms of Use are adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, the original Terms of Use agreed to by you will continue in full force and effect.

BUSINESS USES OF OUR SERVICES

If you are using our Services on behalf of a business, that business accepts these Terms of Use. The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (New Zealand) does not apply where Services are supplied for business purposes. To the extent permitted by law, your business will hold harmless and indemnify Phyn and its affiliates, officers, agents, members, managers, and employees from any claim, suit or action arising from or related to the use of the Services or violation of these Terms of Use, including any liability or expense arising from claims, losses, damages, suits, judgments, litigation costs and attorneys’ fees.

SETTING UP AN ACCOUNT

To use certain Services, you may be required to set up an account and a password for that account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to your computer, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password. You also agree that any information you provide in setting up an account is truthful and accurate.

Where you are required to create a password that will enable you to use a Service, your email address and password will be used to validate your identity in order to access the Service. When you choose a password, choose a unique combination of letters and numbers unrelated to your or someone else’s identity or to any information that is publicly available or that may be needed by us to provide the Service to you or to others. If you share information related to the Service with others or allow others to access the Service using your email address and password, you may lose privacy or confidentiality in the Personal Information which you may intentionally or unintentionally disclose. Therefore, please avoid giving access to these materials to others. You agree to notify Phyn immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or password, or any other breach of security. To contact Phyn, please email us at info@phyn.com.

Phyn will not be liable for any loss that you may incur as a result of someone else using your password or account, either with or without your knowledge. However, you could be held liable for losses incurred by Phyn or another party due to someone else using your account or password as a result of your failure to keep your account information secure and confidential. You may not use anyone else’s account at any time without the permission of the account holder. Phyn will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these obligations.

Phyn may provide notifications to you as required by law or, if you consent as discussed in our privacy policy, for marketing or other purposes via (at its option) email to the primary email associated with your account, hard copy, or posting of such notice on the Site. Phyn is not responsible for any automatic filtering you or your network provider may apply to email notifications. Phyn recommends that you add @Phyn.com URLs to your email address book to help ensure you receive email notifications from Phyn.

NO WARRANTIES

Important Notice Regarding Your Consumer Rights: SOME COUNTRIES, STATES AND/OR PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN CONDITIONS, WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES AND/OR DO NOT ALLOW PRODUCTS OR SERVICES TO BE SOLD WITH NO WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES. ACCORDINGLY, IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE SECTIONS ON “NO WARRANTIES” AND “GENERAL EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY” MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. ONLY THOSE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS THAT ARE LAWFUL IN YOUR JURISDICTION WILL APPLY TO YOU AND, IN SUCH INSTANCES, PHYN’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED ONLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THESE LIMITED WARRANTIES MAY VARY BASED ON THE LOCAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU LIVE. FOR EXAMPLE, IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND, PHYN’S SERVICES COME WITH STATUTORY GUARANTEES, INCLUDING AS TO QUALITY AND FITNESS FOR PURPOSE WHICH CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER THE AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW OR THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993 (NEW ZEALAND) (AS FURTHER EXPLAINED BELOW).

These Terms of Use are not intended to and do not:

  • change or exclude any statutory consumer rights that cannot be lawfully changed or excluded; or
  • limit or exclude any right you have against the person who sold a Phyn Product to you if that person has breached their sales contract with you.

If you are located in the European Union, nothing in these Terms of Use is intended to or will have the effect of limiting any of your rights under European Union law and/or the laws of your country of residence.

IIf you are located in Australia or New Zealand, the following two paragraphs apply to you: Certain legislation, including the Australian Consumer Law and the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (New Zealand) may imply warranties or conditions, or impose guarantees or obligations on Phyn, which operate to protect certain Australian or New Zealand purchasers of goods and services in various circumstances (“AU Applicable Laws” or “NZ Applicable Laws”, as the case may be). Nothing in these Terms of Use excludes, restricts or modifies any condition, warranty, guarantee, right or remedy implied or imposed by any AU Applicable Laws which cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified. If any condition, warranty or guarantee is implied into these Terms of Use or imposed on Phyn under AU Applicable Laws and cannot be excluded, but Phyn is permitted by an AU Applicable Law to limit Phyn’s remedy for a breach of such a condition, warranty or guarantee, then the liability of Phyn for breach of the condition, warranty or guarantee is limited to one or more of the following, at Phyn’s option: (a) in the case of goods, the replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods, the repair of the goods, the payment of the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods, or the payment of the cost of having the goods repaired; or (b) in the case of services, the supplying of the services again, or the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again.

If any condition, warranty or guarantee is implied into these Terms of Use or imposed on Phyn under NZ Applicable Laws and cannot be excluded, but Phyn has a choice of a remedy, then the liability of Phyn for breach of the condition, warranty or guarantee is limited to one or more of the following, at Phyn’s option: (a) in the case of goods, the replacement of the goods or the supply of goods of identical type, the repair of the goods, or the refund of the goods if it would be unreasonable to expect the products to be repaired; or (b) in the case of services, the supplying of the services again, or the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again. In addition to these remedies a “consumer” (within the meaning of the Consumer Guarantees Act) may claim for any reasonably foreseeable loss (other than loss or damage through reduction of value of the goods) that results from the initial problem.

Subject to the section regarding Consumer Rights above, you agree that:

1. Use of the Site and the Services is at your sole risk;

2. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BACK UP YOUR SYSTEM, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DATA THAT YOU MAY USE OR POSSESS IN CONNECTION WITH THE SITE OR SERVICE. ANY MATERIAL, INFORMATION OR DATA DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SITE OR A SERVICE IS ACCESSED AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR YOUR OTHER PRODUCTS AND PERIPHERALS OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULT FROM THE DOWNLOAD OF SUCH MATERIAL, INFORMATION OR DATA;

3. Phyn and its suppliers, licensors, resellers, retailers and affiliates do not guarantee that your use of the Site and the Services will be uninterrupted, timely or error-free. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law in a particular jurisdiction, the Site and the Services are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” for your use without warranties, guarantees, conditions of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise;

4. No advice or information (whether oral or written) obtained by you from Phyn on or via the Site or Services will create any warranty or condition not expressly stated in these Terms of Use; and

5. The warranties and remedies set out in these Terms of Use are exclusive, and, to the extent permitted by law, in lieu of all others oral or written, express, or implied.

Due to the continual development of new techniques for intruding upon and attacking networks, Phyn does not warrant that the Service, system(s) or network(s) on which (or through which) the Site and the Services are used will be free of vulnerability to intrusion or attack. The Services may include or be bundled with a third-party product, software or service offerings. We do not provide any warranties whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise for such third-party product, software or service offerings. We do not guarantee any continued availability of a third party’s service for which the Site’s or a Service’s use or operation may require.

In addition, please note that some Services may monitor energy or other utility consumption in the home. Phyn does not guarantee or promise any specific level of energy or utility savings or other monetary benefit from the use of the Services or any other feature. Actual savings and any associated monetary benefits vary based on factors beyond Phyn’s control or knowledge. From time to time, Phyn may use the Service to provide you with information that is unique to you and your usage and suggests an opportunity to save money on bills if you adopt suggestions or features of the Service. You agree that this information is not a guarantee of actual savings, and you agree not to seek monetary or other remedies from Phyn if your savings differs. All information provided to you by Phyn is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”. We cannot guarantee that it is correct or up to date. In cases where it is critical, accessing information through the Service not a substitute for direct access of the information in the home.

IN SOME JURISDICTIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES, IT IS POSSIBLE TO EXCLUDE AND/OR TO LIMIT PHYN’S LIABILITY TO CONSUMERS. ONLY IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS WHERE IT CAN LAWFULLY DO SO, AND TO THE FULL EXTENT THAT IT IS ALLOWED BY LAW TO DO SO, PHYN DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL WARRANTIES, GUARANTEES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, ACCEPTABLE OR SATISFACTORY QUALITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO DATA, LACK OF VIRUSES OR FREE FROM VIRUS OR MALWARE ATTACK, SECURITY, PERFORMANCE, LACK OF NEGLIGENCE, WORKMANLIKE EFFORT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE SITE OR SERVICES WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR SERVICES AND RELATED DATA, INFORMATION, PROGRAMS AND DOCUMENTATION WILL GENERATE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, TIMELY RESULTS, INFORMATION, MATERIAL OR DATA, OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO YOU BY PHYN IN WRITING OR AGREED TO BY PHYN IN WRITING.

GENERAL EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL PHYN, ITS AFFILIATES, ASSOCIATES, DEALERS, AGENTS OR SUPPLIERS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, LICENSORS AND ASSIGNS BE LIABLE FOR:

1. ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE TO YOUR HOME, HVAC SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, PLUMBING, YOUR PRODUCTS AND PERIPHERALS (WHETHER OR NOT CONNECTED TO A PHYN PRODUCT), COMPUTER, MOBILE DEVICE, AND ALL OTHER ITEMS AND PETS IN YOUR HOME; AND

2. ANY INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE, FOR LOSS OF DATA, FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, FOR PERSONAL INJURY, FOR LOSS OF PRIVACY, FOR LOSS OF ABILITY TO USE ANY THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, FOR FAILURE TO MEET ANY DUTY INCLUDING OF GOOD FAITH OR OF REASONABLE CARE, FOR NEGLIGENCE; AND FOR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY OR OTHER LOSS WHATSOEVER).

REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABLITY (CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE MISUSE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE OR THE SERVICES, EVEN IF PHYN OR SUCH OTHER ENTITIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF PHYN, ITS AFFILIATES, ASSOCIATES, DEALERS, AGENTS OR SUPPLIERS TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES EXCEED FIFTY DOLLARS ($50.00). THIS LIMITATION IS CUMULATIVE AND WILL NOT BE INCREASED BY THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE INCIDENT OR CLAIM. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY WARRANTY OR REMEDY PROVIDED FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION IS INTENDED TO LIMIT THE LIABILITY, UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, OF PHYN IN RELATION TO DEATH OR BODILY INJURIES RESULTING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OR RECKLESSNESS OF PHYN.

REFERENCES TO “SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES” SHALL MEAN ANY LOSSES WHICH (i) WERE NOT REASONABLY FORESEEABLE BY BOTH PARTIES; (ii) WERE KNOWN TO YOU BUT NOT TO US; AND/OR (iii) WERE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE BY BOTH PARTIES BUT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY YOU SUCH AS, FOR EXAMPLE (BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION), LOSSES CAUSED BY VIRUSES, MALWARE OR OTHER MALICIOUS PROGRAMS, OR LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO YOUR DATA.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Phyn is not responsible and will not be liable to you or any others for any loss or damages due to your misuse of the Site or Services. You also understand that if you do not comply with these Terms of Use (whether knowingly or unknowingly), such non-compliance may result in action being taken against you, including, but not limited to, claims for compensation by Phyn and other aggrieved parties, or civil and/or criminal prosecution.

Phyn will be irreparably harmed if you violate any of these Terms of Use, for which monetary damages would be inadequate, and you agree that Phyn may obtain such injunctive or equitable relief that Phyn deems necessary or appropriate in such circumstances. These remedies are in addition to any other remedies Phyn may have at law or in equity.

If Phyn is the subject of a claim, becomes involved in a legal proceeding, or suffers any loss or damage because of your violation of these Terms of Use, to the extent permitted by law, you will be responsible for compensating Phyn for the full amount of its loss, as well as any reasonable amounts Phyn incurs in lawyers’ fees, expenses and court costs, except to the extent that Phyn contributed to the loss or damage, in addition to any other relief granted to Phyn.

Governing Law and Venue

These Terms of Use will be governed by California law, without giving effect to any conflict of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction to the rights and duties of the parties. The courts in some countries will not apply California law to some types of disputes. If you are resident in one of those countries, then where California law is excluded from applying, your country’s laws will apply to such disputes which are related to these Terms of Use. The state and federal courts of California shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any claim arising under, or in connection with, these Terms of Use. If you are a consumer and you live in a country where Phyn markets or promotes the Site or a Service, local law may require that certain consumer protection laws of your country of residence apply to some sections of these Terms of Use. In addition, Phyn may seek injunctive relief in any court having jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights. Each of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the United Nations Convention on the Limitation Period in the International Sale of Goods is hereby expressly excluded and will not apply to these Terms of Use.

OTHER IMPORTANT LEGAL TERMS

Trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, and domain names of each party are considered their respective “Marks”. As to Phyn’s Marks and the Marks of its suppliers, the Mark owner retains ownership of all proprietary rights in all its Marks associated or displayed on the Site or with the Services. You may not frame or utilize framing techniques to enclose any Phyn Marks, or other proprietary information (including images, text, page layout, or form) of Phyn without Phyn’s express written consent. You may not use any meta tags or any other “hidden text” utilizing Phyn’s Marks without Phyn’s express written consent.

You agree to use the Site and Services in compliance with all applicable laws. You acknowledge that the Site and Services are subject to U.S. and local export control laws and regulations. You represent that you are not a citizen of an embargoed country or a prohibited end user under applicable U.S. or local export and anti-terrorism laws, regulations and lists. You agree not to export, re-export, divert, transfer or disclose any portion of the Site or Services or any related technical information or materials, directly or indirectly, in violation of any applicable export law or regulation.

You acknowledge and agree that any translation of the English language version of these Terms of Use that may be provided is for your convenience only, and that the English language version of these Terms of Use will take precedence over any such translation in the event of any contradiction between them.

These Terms of Use, including the documents referred to in these Terms of Use, are the entire agreement regarding the Site and Services and completely replace any prior agreements.

Phyn may assign or delegate its obligations under these Terms of Use, either in whole or in part, without your prior consent. You may not assign these Terms of Use without Phyn’s prior written consent.

Neither party will be responsible for failure of performance due to causes beyond its control, like, for example, accidents of God, labor disputes, shortage of materials, acts of terrorism, or the stability or availability of the Internet or a portion of the Internet.

You agree that if Phyn does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in these terms, this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of Phyn’s rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to Phyn.

If for any reason a provision of these Terms of Use is invalid, the remaining provisions will continue to be valid and enforceable.
