Terms of Service
Last Updated: Nov 23, 2022
Welcome to Polywork, the website and online and/or mobile service of Kalo Industries, Inc. d/b/a Polywork (“Company,” “we,” or “us”). This page explains the terms by which you may use our online and/or mobile services, website, and software provided on or in connection with the service (collectively, the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service, or by clicking a button or checking a box marked “I Agree” (or something similar), you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (this “Agreement”), our Community Guidelines, and to the collection and use of your information as set forth in our Privacy Policy, whether or not you are a registered user of our Service. Company reserves the right to modify these terms and will provide notice of these changes as described below. This Agreement applies to all visitors, users, and others who access the Service (“Users”).
PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.
  1. Our Service
    1. Eligibility
      This is a contract between you and Company. You must read and agree to these terms before using the Company Service. If you do not agree, you may not use the Service. You may use the Service only if you can form a binding contract with Company, and only in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations. Any use or access to the Service by anyone under the Minimum Age is strictly prohibited and in violation of this Agreement. Minimum Age means 16 years old. However, if law requires that you must be older in order for Polywork to lawfully provide the Services to you without parental consent (including using of your personal data) then the Minimum Age is such older age. The Service is not available to any Users previously removed from the Service by Company.
    2. Limited License
      Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you are hereby granted a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, freely revocable license to use the Service for your personal, noncommercial use only and as permitted by the features of the Service. Company reserves all rights not expressly granted herein in the Service and the Company Content (as defined below). Company may terminate this license at any time for any reason or no reason.
    3. User Accounts
      Your account on the Service (your “User Account”) gives you access to the services and functionality that we may establish and maintain from time to time and in our sole discretion. We may maintain different types of User Accounts for different types of Users. If you open a User Account on behalf of a company, organization, or other entity, then (i) “you” includes you and that entity, and (ii) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to this Agreement, and that you agree to this Agreement on the entity’s behalf. By connecting to Company with a third-party service, you give us permission to access and use your information from that service as permitted by that service, and to store your log-in credentials for that service.
      You may never use another User’s User Account without permission. When creating your User Account, you must provide accurate and complete information, and you must keep this information up to date. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your User Account, and you must keep your User Account password secure. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols) with your User Account. You must notify Company immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your User Account. Company will not be liable for any losses caused by any unauthorized use of your User Account. If you no longer wish to use the Service, you may request by email to legal@polywork.com that the Company delete your account.
      By providing Company your email address you consent to our using the email address to send you Service-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. We may also use your email address to send you other messages, such as changes to features of the Service and special offers. If you do not want to receive such email messages, you may opt out. Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages regarding updates, improvements, or offers.
    4. Changes to the Service
      We may, without prior notice, change the Service; stop providing the Service or features of the Service, to you or to Users generally; or create usage limits for the Service. We may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend your access to the Service without notice and liability for any reason, including if in our sole determination you violate any provision of this Agreement, or for no reason. Upon termination for any reason or no reason, you continue to be bound by this Agreement.
    5. Disputes with Other Users
      You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Users and must abide by the Community Guidelines. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Users. Company shall have no liability for your interactions with other Users, or for any User’s action or inaction.
    6. Service Location
      The Service is controlled and operated from facilities in the United States. Company makes no representations that the Service is appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Service from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are entirely responsible for compliance with all applicable United States and local laws and regulations, including but not limited to export and import regulations. You may not use the Service if you are a resident of a country embargoed by the United States, or are a foreign person or entity blocked or denied by the United States government. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all materials found on the Service are solely directed to individuals, companies, or other entities located in the United States.
  2. User Content
    Some areas of the Service allow Users to submit, post, display, provide, or otherwise make available content such as profile information, videos, images, music, comments, questions, and other content or information (any such materials a User submits, posts, displays, provides, or otherwise makes available on the Service is referred to as “User Content”). PLEASE NOTE THAT CURRENTLY ONLY INDIVIDUAL USERS, AND NO COMPANIES OR OTHER ENTITIES, ARE AUTHORIZED TO POST USER CONTENT ON POLYWORK, AND WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DELETE, WITHOUT NOTICE, ANY USER ACCOUNTS WE BELIEVE TO BE IN VIOLATION OF THIS RESTRICTION.
    WE CLAIM NO OWNERSHIP RIGHTS OVER USER CONTENT CREATED BY YOU. THE USER CONTENT YOU CREATE REMAINS YOURS. However, you understand that certain portions of the Service may allow other Users to view, edit, share, and/or otherwise interact with your User Content. By providing or sharing User Content through the Service, you agree to allow others to view, edit, share, and/or interact with your User Content in accordance with this Agreement. Company has the right (but not the obligation) in its sole discretion to remove any User Content that is shared via the Service.
    By submitting, posting, displaying, providing, or otherwise making available any User Content on or through the Service, you expressly grant, and you represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant, to Company a royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, list information regarding, edit, translate, distribute, syndicate, publicly perform, publicly display, and make derivative works of all such User Content and your name, voice, and/or likeness as contained in your User Content, in whole or in part, and in any form, media or technology, whether now known or hereafter developed, for use in connection with the Service and Company’s (and its successors’ and affiliates’) business, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the Service (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels. You also hereby grant each User of the Service a non-exclusive license to access your User Content through the Service, and to use, reproduce, distribute, display and perform such User Content as permitted through the functionality of the Service and under this Agreement.
    For the purposes of this Agreement, “Intellectual Property Rights” means all patent rights, copyright rights, mask work rights, moral rights, rights of publicity, trademark, trade dress and service mark rights, goodwill, trade secret rights and other intellectual property rights as may now exist or hereafter come into existence, and all applications therefore and registrations, renewals and extensions thereof, under the laws of any state, country, territory or other jurisdiction.
    In connection with your User Content, you affirm, represent and warrant the following:
    • You have the written consent of each and every identifiable natural person in the User Content, if any, to use such person’s name or likeness in the manner contemplated by the Service and this Agreement, and each such person has released you from any liability that may arise in relation to such use.
    • You have obtained and are solely responsible for obtaining all consents as may be required by law to post any User Content relating to third parties.
    • Your User Content and Company’s use thereof as contemplated by this Agreement and the Service will not violate any law or infringe any rights of any third party, including but not limited to any Intellectual Property Rights and privacy rights.
    • Company may exercise the rights to your User Content granted under this Agreement without liability for payment of any guild fees, residuals, payments, fees, or royalties payable under any collective bargaining agreement or otherwise.
    • To the best of your knowledge, all your User Content and other information that you provide to us is truthful and accurate.
    Company takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any User Content that you or any other User or third party posts, sends, or otherwise makes available over the Service. You shall be solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting, publishing it, sharing it, or otherwise making it available on the Service, and you agree that we are only acting as a passive conduit for your online distribution and publication of your User Content. You understand and agree that you may be exposed to User Content that is inaccurate, objectionable, inappropriate for children, or otherwise unsuited to your purpose, and you agree that Company shall not be liable for any damages you allege to incur as a result of or relating to any User Content.
    Our “Opportunities” feature is designed to allow Users to post information about professional and other collaboration opportunities (each, an “Opportunity”) they are making available (e.g., looking for a guest on a podcast, looking for beta testers, looking to fill a full-time position, etc.) and to communicate directly with one another concerning Opportunities.
    Our “Collaboration” feature is designed to allow Users to post information about the types of collaboration they are open to considering (“Collaboration Availability”), and to communicate directly with one another concerning Collaboration Availability and potential collaboration projects (e.g., guest lecturing, providing resume feedback, full time employment, etc.). Users must have an account with Polywork to post an Opportunity or Collaboration Availability, and to use the Service to communicate directly with a User who has posted an Opportunity or Collaboration Availability; however, posted Opportunities and Collaboration Availability can be viewed and shared by all Users (which, please remember, includes visitors to the Service). A User with a Polywork account can use the Service to send a direct message to a User who has posted an Opportunity or Collaboration Availability, and the posting User can decide whether or not to respond to the message. Subject to compliance with this Agreement, the two Users may continue using the Service to communicate about the Opportunity or Collaboration Availability. PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL INFORMATION YOU POST ON THE SERVICE (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROFILE INFORMATION, PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND COLLABORATION PREFERENCES) WILL BE VIEWABLE BY OTHER USERS AND MAY ALSO BE VIEWABLE THROUGH PUBLIC SEARCH OR ON THIRD-PARTY SITES THAT YOU USE, SO PLEASE USE DISCRETION AND CAUTION WHEN POSTING ANY INFORMATION AND WHEN USING THE SERVICE TO CONNECT, COMMUNICATE OR COLLABORATE WITH OTHERS. We do not control who will see the information you post or what they might do with that information or any messages you send. We also do not control what messages other Users might send to you in response to anything you have posted. You are solely responsible for all content you make available through the Opportunities or Collaboration features or other Services (including, but not limited to, any job descriptions, trademarks, images and other information), and you agree to follow all applicable laws and regulations in connection with any Opportunities or Collaboration Availability you post, respond to or engage in. YOU ARE ALSO SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR DECIDING WHETHER TO COMMUNICATE, COLLABORATE OR ENGAGE WITH ANY OTHER USERS, AND YOU ASSUME ALL RISKS RELATED TO DOING SO. Also, remember, you must abide by our Community Guidelines when using the Service or any of its features. Users have the right to report other users should they fail to do so.
    We reserve the right to disable, limit or delete your account or remove some or all of your posted content if we believe that you have violated this Agreement (which includes the Community Guidelines) or if we believe that you have misused the Services in any way or if we believe your use of the Services could harm our brand, the value of the Services or other Users’ enjoyment of the Services. In addition to your other obligations under this Agreement, you agree that you will not, and you will not assist or authorize any other party to, do any of the following in connection with the Services:
    • Copy, scrape, publish or otherwise reproduce content from another party’s website, or post content pertaining to another party, without that party’s prior authorization;
    • Post or send any misleading, deceptive, harassing, defamatory, objectionable, infringing or unlawful content, or use the Services to engage or attempt to engage in any misleading, deceptive, harassing, defamatory, objectionable, infringing or unlawful activity;
    • Share or otherwise use another User’s information without that User’s express permission;
    • Use our Services to contact a User who has posted an Opportunity or Collaboration Availability for any purposes other than those legitimately related to the particular Opportunity or Collaboration Availability;
    • Except as expressly authorized by us, use any automated process to access, copy, modify, or acquire any content on Polwork;
    • Post any content that contains malware, spyware or other malicious code, or that otherwise interferes with the operation of the Services or any device or system (of Polywork or any other party);

    Reserved Usernames
    A username may be created by a registered User on Polywork subject to availability and any technical and other limitations set by Polywork.

Polywork reserves the right to disallow the use of a username in its sole discretion, and may, in its sole discretion, reserve certain usernames and not permit them to be used by some or all Users. Such reserved usernames may be set aside by us for any reason or no reason at all.
    Change of a Username by Polywork
    Polywork reserves the right to change, disable or delete any already-claimed or in-use username in its sole discretion. In such cases, Polywork will (subject to the terms of this Agreement) make a reasonable effort to provide the User with an opportunity to create an alternative username. Without limiting the foregoing, you agree that we reserve the right to change, disable or delete your username, without notice, if a third party claims that your username or your use of our Services infringes or violates the rights (including, but not limited to, intellectual property rights) of a third party.

  13. Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver
    1. Governing Law
      You agree that: (i) the Service shall be deemed solely based in New York; and (ii) the Service shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than New York. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of New York, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in New York County, New York for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that New York County, New York is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.
    2. Arbitration
      READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM COMPANY. For any dispute with Company, you agree to first contact us at legal@polywork.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that Company has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in New York County, New York, unless you and Company agree otherwise. If you are an individual using the Service for non-commercial purposes: (i) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; (ii) the award rendered by the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney’s fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing Company from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights.
    3. Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver
      WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE SERVICE FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.
  14. Additional Terms for Mobile Applications
    1. Mobile Applications
      We may make available software to access the Service via a mobile device (“Mobile Applications”). To use any Mobile Applications you must have a mobile device that is compatible with the Mobile Applications. Company does not warrant that the Mobile Applications will be compatible with your mobile device. You may use mobile data in connection with the Mobile Applications and may incur additional charges from your wireless provider for these services.
