Terms of Service

Terms of Service

Welcome to Happier!

We know reading legal documents is not something that makes most of us happier (if you’re a lawyer, no offense, but even our own lawyers agree!) But can we ask a favor? Please take some time to read these Terms of Service carefully. We worked with our lawyers to make them as readable as humanly possible and it’s important to us that they are clear to you. If you have any questions or comments, please just shoot us an email to team@happier.com -- we’re here pretty much 24/7 to make you well, happier!

Copyright
Complaints Happier respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or that your intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, you should notify Happier of your infringement claim in accordance with the procedure set forth below.

Happier will process and investigate notices of alleged infringement and will take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and other applicable intellectual property laws with respect to any alleged or actual infringement. A notification of claimed copyright infringement should be emailed to team@happier.com (Subject line: “DMCA Takedown Request”). You may also contact us at:

Happier, Inc., 52 Sherbrook Road, Newton, MA 02458

To be effective, the notification must be in writing and contain the following information:

     - an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest;
     - a description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed;
     - a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Service, with enough detail that we may find it on the Service;
     - your address, telephone number, and email address;
     - a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law;
     - a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf.

Counter-Notice: If you believe that the content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the content, you may send a written counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent:

     - your physical or electronic signature;
    - identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
     - a statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content; and
     -your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court located in Massachusetts and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, Happier will send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.

Repeat Infringer Policy: In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, Happier has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at Happier's sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. Happier may also at its sole discretion limit access to the Service and/or terminate the memberships of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

V. Payments
The use of the Service is free. You acknowledge that Happier reserves the right to charge for any portion of the Service and to change its fees (if any) from time to time in its discretion.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to 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.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.

Arbitration At Happier’s or your election, all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to the TOS or the Service that are not resolved by mutual agreement may be resolved by binding arbitration to be conducted before JAMS, or its successor. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, arbitration will be held in Boston, Massachusetts before a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, or if the parties cannot mutually agree, a single arbitrator appointed by JAMS, and will be conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by JAMS unless specifically modified in the TOS. The arbitration must commence within forty-five (45) days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by either party. The arbitrator’s decision and award will be made and delivered within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of the arbitration and within six (6) months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator will not have the power to award damages in excess of the limitation on actual compensatory, direct damages set forth in the TOS and may not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages that are specifically excluded under the TOS, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages. The arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, assess costs and expenses (including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing part) against any party to a proceeding. Any party refusing to comply with an order of the arbitrators will be liable for costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the other party in enforcing the award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm. The provisions of this arbitration section will be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

General
This TOS will be governed by Massachusetts law and controlling United States federal law, without regard to the choice or conflicts of law provisions of any jurisdiction. You will bring all disputes, actions, claims, or causes of action related to this TOS or in connection with the Service only in the federal and state courts located in Boston, Massachusetts. If any provision of this TOS is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision(s) will be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the invalid or unenforceable provision(s), with all other provisions remaining in full force and effect. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Happier as a result of this agreement or use of the Service. The failure of Happier to enforce any right or provision in this TOS will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by Happier in writing. Happier has the right to assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this TOS at any time. This TOS comprises the entire agreement between you and Happier and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties regarding the subject matter contained herein.
