Wohaula, LLC – Terms of Use for Survivors

Welcome to STROKEFOCUS®, operated by Wohaula, LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Company,” “Strokefocus,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).

By creating a Strokefocus account or by accessing our online community (the “Platform”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use (this “Agreement”).

Please read this Agreement carefully, as it contains important information about limitations of liability and resolution of disputes through arbitration rather than in court. This Agreement affects your legal rights and obligations, so if you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Platform.

In the event you use a service, feature, or functionality that is operated by a third party and made available through the Platform, each such third party’s terms will govern as to the respective party’s relationship with you.

Please also read the Strokefocus Privacy Policy , which is incorporated by reference into this Agreement and available on the Platform. If you do not accept and agree to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement, including the Strokefocus Privacy Policy, you may not use the Platform. Please contact us with any questions regarding this Agreement.

1. The Platform

Strokefocus endeavors to support individuals who have suffered from a stroke or a traumatic brain injury, their family members and their friends (collectively, the “Survivors” and individually a “Survivor”) through its Platform by providing them with access to resources, information related to the recovery and rehabilitation process, emotional support, and the opportunity to communicate with other Survivors and local Support Groups (individually a “Support Group,” collectively, the “Support Groups”). By creating an account (see Section 3), you agree to comply with this Agreement and to treat your fellow Survivors with respect, compassion and kindness. (The “Platform” includes our website(s), our mobile application(s) and any electronic access of the Strokefocus community, services or other use of software provided through or by Strokefocus.)

As a Survivor, you will have access to information on the Platform that will enable you to communicate with other Survivors and Support Groups. In addition, other Survivors and Support Groups will be able to contact and communicate with you. You agree to comply with all applicable domestic and international laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations, and with any and all rules, requirements, conditions and requests that we provide, regarding your use of the Platform, including but not limited to those that apply to your communications or interactions with any other Survivor. You also agree to comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the United States or the country in which you reside.

2. Acceptance of this Agreement.

• This Agreement is an electronic contract that establishes the legally binding terms you must accept to access and use the Platform.
• By accessing or using any portion of the Platform, you accept this Agreement and agree to the terms, conditions and notices contained or referenced herein and consent to have this Agreement and all notices provided to you in electronic form. Of course, you may cease using the Platform and terminate your account at any time. However, even if you terminate your account, any subsequent interactions that you have with other Survivors are still governed by this Agreement. Please print a copy of this Agreement for your records. To receive a non-electronic copy of this Agreement, please contact us at contact@strokefocus.net.
• Modification of this Agreement. This agreement is effective as of November 17, 2017 (the “Effective Date”). We may, at any time and for any reason make changes to this Agreement. We may do this for a variety of reasons including to reflect changes in or requirements of the law, new features, or changes in business practices. The most recent version of this Agreement will be publicly available on www.strokefocus.net under “Survivor – Terms of Use,” and you should regularly check for the most recent version. The most recent version is the version that applies. If you continue to use the Platform after the changes become effective, then you shall be deemed to have accepted those changes. If you don’t agree to these changes, you must terminate your account. Additionally, if we update or upgrade the Platform, you may be required to accept the most recent version of this Agreement to access the updated or upgraded Platform.

3. Your Account.

In order to have access to all of the services and functionalities provided by the Platform, you must create an account, which will require you to provide Strokefocus with certain personal and contact information. Once you create an account, Strokefocus will send you a welcome email with your login credentials.

Your account is non-transferrable. You cannot sell, combine, or otherwise share it with any other person. Any violation of this Agreement, including failure to maintain updated and correct information about your account, will cause your account to fall out of good standing, and we may cancel your account in our sole and absolute discretion. Upon termination, the provisions of this Agreement that are by their nature intended to survive termination (e.g., any disclaimers, all limitations of liability and all indemnities) shall survive.

4. Account Security.

You are responsible for maintaining updated and correct information on your account. You must safeguard your password and supervise the use of your account. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of your account. We will assume that anyone using the Platform or transacting through your account is you. You agree that you are solely responsible for all activities and communications that occur under your account.

You agree to immediately notify the Company of any disclosure or unauthorized use of your confidential information, any disclosure or unauthorized use of any other Survivor’s confidential information, or any other breach of security at contact@strokefocus.net. You acknowledge the importance of logging out from your account at the end of each session and agree to do so.

5. Restrictions on Use.

No part of Strokefocus is directed to persons under the age of thirteen (13). You must be at least thirteen (13) years of age to access the Platform, and if you are over the age of thirteen (13), but under the age of eighteen (18), you must have a parent or guardian’s permission to access the Platform. Your parent or guardian should be aware that the Platform is used primarily by adults. If you are a minor and if any of these circumstances are not acceptable to your parent or guardian, you may not use the Platform.

Any use of the Platform is void where prohibited. By accessing or using the Platform, you represent and warrant that: (i) you are at least thirteen (13) years of age; (ii) you have obtained your parent’s or guardian’s permission to access and use the Platform if you are under eighteen (18) years of age; (iii) you have the right, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to abide by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (iv) your access to and use of the Platform will at all times comply with this terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (v) you have the right to provide any and all information you submit to the Platform, and all such information is accurate, true, current and complete.

Using the Platform may be prohibited or restricted in certain countries. If you access or use the Platform from outside of the United States, you are responsible for complying with the laws and regulations of the territory from which you access or use the Platform.

6. Privacy and Security Measures.

Strokefocus may collect and maintain certain limited information about you in order to facilitate your connection to and communication with Support Groups and other Survivors. Strokefocus respects the privacy of its users. We have adopted reasonable security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the private and confidential information under our control. For more information, please see our Privacy Policy.

7. Term and Termination.

This Agreement will remain in full force and effect while you use the Platform, have an account, or maintain or continue any communications with any other Survivor or Support Group with whom you have ever interacted through, or as a result of, the Platform. You may terminate your account at any time, for any reason, by following the instructions on the Platform. The Company may terminate or suspend your account and/or your access to the Platform at any time without notice if the Company believes that you have breached this Agreement, or for any other reason, in its sole and absolute discretion. Upon such termination or suspension, you will not be entitled to any refund of any costs or expenses incurred in relation to or arising out of the Platform. The Company is not required to disclose, and may be prohibited by law from disclosing, the reason for the termination or suspension of your account. After your account is terminated, you may no longer access or use the Platform.

8. Non-Commercial Use of the Platform.

The Platform is for personal, non-commercial use only. Survivors may not use the Platform or any content contained in the Platform in connection with any commercial endeavors, such as advertising or soliciting others to buy or sell any products or services not offered by the Company. Survivors using the Platform may not use any information obtained from the Platform to contact, advertise to, solicit, or sell to any other Survivor without their prior explicit consent. The Company may investigate and take any available legal action in response to illegal and/or unauthorized uses of the Platform, including but not limited to collecting usernames and/or email addresses of other Survivors by electronic or other means for the purpose of sending unsolicited emails and unauthorized framing of or linking to the Platform.

9. Banners, Advertisements and Promotions.

We reserve the right to post banners, advertisements, promotions, and similar content throughout the Platform. Third-party advertisers and firms that serve ads may operate under terms and conditions and privacy policies that differ from Strokefocus’s policies, so please review them carefully. Any interactions, correspondence, and business dealings that you have with any advertisers and other third parties found on or through the Platform are solely between you and the third party (including, without limitation, issues related to the content of third party advertisements, payments, delivery of goods, warranties, privacy and data security and the like). Strokefocus hereby disclaims all liability, direct or indirect, in connection with therewith.

10. Your Interactions with Support Groups and Other Survivors.

 

• You are solely responsible for your communications and interactions with Support Groups and other Survivors. You understand that the Company does not inquire into the backgrounds of Support Groups or Survivors, and the Company does not attempt to verify any statements made by Support Groups or Survivors. The Company makes no representations or warranties as to the conduct of Support Groups or Survivors.
• By creating an account, you understand that Strokefocus assumes no responsibility for your conduct relating to or resulting from your use of the Platform. You further understand that Strokefocus has done no “vetting,” verifying, or background checking of any Survivors or Support Groups and that you are solely responsible for evaluating any Survivor or Support Group with whom you interact. You acknowledge that you assume responsibility for any and all liabilities, which may result from your use of the Platform or your communications or interactions with Support Groups or other Survivors.
• The Platform is intended to assist Support Groups and Survivors in locating and communicating with each other. Because we do not supervise or control communications or interactions between Survivors and other persons or entities who do not have a Strokefocus account (the “Non-Users”), and because we cannot guarantee the true identity, age or affiliations of Support Groups, Survivors or Non-Users, you agree that you bear all risk and you agree that, as noted in and without limiting Section 14 (disclaimers) and Section 15 (limitations of liability) below, in no event shall the Company, its affiliates or its partners be liable (directly or indirectly) for any losses or damages whatsoever, whether direct, indirect, general, special, compensatory, consequential, and/or incidental, arising out of or relating to the conduct of you or anyone else in connection with the use of the Platform. You understand that the Company makes no guarantees, either express or implied, regarding your ultimate interactions with any Support Groups or other Survivors that you communicate with through the Platform.

 

Information and Content Posted by You on the Platform.

You understand and agree that the Company may, but is not obligated to, monitor or review any content you post, upload or transmit on the Platform. The Company may delete any “Content” (defined below), in whole or in part, that in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company violates this Agreement or may or negatively impact any other Survivor or the reputation of the Platform.
• You are solely responsible for the content and information that you post, upload, transmit or otherwise make available to Support Groups or other Survivors on the Platform, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted (collectively, the “Content”).

• You shall not disclose any confidential or private information about any other Survivor that you obtain as a result of your use of the Platform without that Survivor’s express consent.
• You acknowledge that Content you post, upload or transmit on the Platform may be viewed by Support Groups, other Survivors, or any other person or entity with access to the Platform. You understand that deleted Content may be retained by Strokefocus for a reasonable period of time.
• The Company reserves the right to investigate, suspend and/or terminate your account if you have misused the Platform or behaved in any way that the Company regards as inappropriate or unlawful, including any communications or interactions with other Survivors that occur outside of the Platform. In addition to not posting, uploading or transmitting the types of Content described in Section 8(a) above, the following is a non-exclusive list of the types of actions that you may not engage in with respect to the Platform. You shall not:
  • Use the Platform to engage in any act that is harmful or detrimental to any other Survivor;

• Any other action that Strokefocus deems, in its sole and absolute discretion, to be inappropriate for any reason may also warrant removal and/or suspension from the Platform. The Company reserves the right to remove any post, Content or other material without warning or further notice.
• Your use of the Platform, including all Content you post, upload or transmit through the Platform, must comply with all applicable laws and regulations. You agree that the Company may access, preserve and disclose your account information and Content if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary, for example to: (i) comply with the legal process; (ii) enforce this Agreement; (iii) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third parties; (iv) respond to your requests for customer service or allow you to use the Platform in the future; (v) protect the rights, interests, property or personal safety of the Company, any Survivor or any other person; or (vi) enable the transfer or sale to another entity of all or substantially all of our assets in the line of business to which this Agreement relates, or upon any other corporate reorganization, subject to the promises made in this Agreement. We may also disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole and absolute discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation any activity that is illegal or that we believe may expose us or you to legal liability.

If you do not accept this limitation of liability, you are not authorized to use the Platform.

To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, under no circumstances, including but not limited to tort, negligence or breach of contract, will Strokefocus be liable for any direct, indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages that arise out of or in connection with your access to or use of the Platform or your downloading of any content, materials, data, text, images, video or audio from the Platform even if advised of the possibility of such damages. The disclaimers and limitations contained in this Agreement are a material part of our ability to provide this Platform to you.

California residents expressly agree to waive California Civil Code Sec. 1542, which states: “A general release does not extend the claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

Strokefocus has no control over the content of Linked Sites or any link contained in a Linked Site, and Strokefocus does not assume any obligation to review any Linked Sites. Strokefocus does not endorse, approve, or sponsor any Linked Sites, or any content, advertising, information, materials, products, services, or other items on or available on or from them, and Strokefocus disclaims all liability, direct or indirect, in connection therewith. We require service providers and trusted vendors who operate websites on our behalf to safeguard the privacy of any personal information they handle, adhere to industry-accepted practices to safeguard personal information, respect our intellectual property rights and the rights of third parties, and operate in accordance with all applicable requirements.

20. Copyright Policy; Notice and Procedure for Making Claims of Copyright Infringement.

You may not post, distribute, or reproduce in any way any copyrighted material, trademarks, or other proprietary information without obtaining the prior written consent of the owner of such proprietary rights. If you believe that material or Content posted, uploaded or transmitted on the Platform infringes on your copyright or that of another, please contact us following the procedure below:

Procedure for Alleging Copyright Infringement:

Strokefocus will respond appropriately to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), as set forth below.

• The URL of the Website and a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on that Website;
• Your address, telephone number, and e-mail address;
• A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the alleged infringing material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
• A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that all the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner (or, if you are not the copyright owner, then your statement must indicate that you are authorized to act on the behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed); and
• Your electronic or physical signature.

Strokefocus will only receive DMCA notices by mail or e-mail at the addresses below:

Strokefocus may elect to not respond to DMCA notices that do not comply with all of the foregoing requirements, and Strokefocus may elect to remove allegedly infringing material that comes to its attention via notices that do not comply with the DMCA. If you have additional questions you may contact Strokefocus at contact@strokefocus.net.

21. Modifications to the Platform.

Strokefocus expressly reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, your access to or use of the Platform (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that the Company shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Platform. To protect the integrity of the Platform, the Company reserves the right at any time in its sole and absolute discretion to block certain IP addresses from accessing the Platform.

22. Operation of Site; Availability of the Platform.

Strokefocus controls and operates the Platform from its headquarters in the United States of America, and Strokefocus makes no representation that the Platform is appropriate or available for use beyond the United States of America. If you access or use the Platform from other locations, you are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. The Platform may describe products and services that are available only in the United States of America (or only parts of it) and are not available worldwide.

23. Internet Connection.

An internet connection is required to access and use the Platform, and any associated expenses or charges incurred by your use of the Platform are your exclusive responsibility.

24. Arbitration and Governing Law.

Except where prohibited by applicable law:

• The exclusive means of resolving any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof) or your use of the Platform shall be binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association.
• By accessing or using the Platform in any manner or by creating an account, you agree to the above arbitration provision. In doing so, you give up your right to go to court to assert or defend any claims between you and the Company. You also give up your right to participate in a class action or other class proceeding. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. You are entitled to a fair hearing before the arbitrator. The arbitrator can grant any relief that a court can, but you should note that arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
• Any proceeding to enforce this Agreement, including any proceeding to confirm, modify, or vacate an arbitration award, may be commenced in any court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that this Agreement is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against the Company may be commenced only in the federal or state courts located in Los Angeles County, California, USA. You hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes.
• This Agreement, and any dispute between you and the Company, shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to principles of conflicts of law, provided that this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
• For Survivors located in a jurisdiction where the arbitration provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law, the laws of the State of California, USA, will apply to any disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement or your use of the Platform. All claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or your use of the Platform will be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts of Los Angeles County, California, USA, and you and Strokefocus consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

25. Notice.
