3. Our Website

We provide a range of features for our Members as follows:

3.1. Our Website

We provide our Members with access to an online social network, which is designed to allow them to find and communicate with old and new friends, based on shared interests. Members use our Site primarily via Member “profiles,” which are personal web pages. As a Member, you can create a profile and, subject to certain content-related, bandwidth, and file-size restrictions, and you can include in your profile multimedia content including both photographs and a video (the “Profile”). Other Members then use your Profile to leave you messages (incorporating multimedia content, if they wish), to send you “instant messages,” and to share links to their own Profiles. Depending on the privacy controls you have set for your Profile, you have the ability to “open” your Profile not just to close friends, but to others, including all other Members.

Member exchanges via Profiles are supplemented by additional features of our Site, that allow Members to: (i) contribute to forums, stories, and group message areas, and (ii) utilize other facilities that we provide.

Please read on for the specific terms and conditions under which we provide this Site. For example, for further information and terms concerning Profiles and Members’ privacy controls, please review Section 6.1 (Privacy, Your Profile, and Privacy Controls) and Section 12 (Technical Restrictions; Remedies). And please review our Privacy Policy for details concerning our uses of aggregate information, and other important information concerning our privacy and other data protection practices.

3.2. Additional Guidelines

Pinappl may post additional guidelines on its Website relating to your use of the Site and Facilities including, for example, your conduct while participating in a chat room. You agree to adhere to, and to be bound by, all guidelines that Pinappl chooses to post on the Website. In the event that there is a conflict between these Terms and any guidelines that we post on our Site, these Terms shall control.

4. Registration Process; Membership Types

This section describes how you can become a Member of our Site and the types of memberships that we offer. Please refer to the guidelines posted on our Site for more information about the benefits and responsibilities of each type of membership. Please see our Privacy Policy for how we treat information you provide when becoming a member of our Site.

4.1. Registration Process; Password

4.1.1. Registration Process

In order to participate as a Member on our Site, we require that you complete the registration process and create a Member Profile. The registration process asks you to: (i) create a username, (ii) create a password, (iii) verify that you are at least 18 years old, (iv) provide an email address, (v) provide your zip code, (vi) specify the country in which you reside, (vii) state your physical features such as (a) height, (b) weight, and (c) age; and (viii) supply information about yourself and what you’re hoping to discover by being a member of our Site (the “Registration”). We also give you the option of providing your full name, which helps us should you forget your password. Once your registration is approved, Members use their username and password to gain access to the Website and certain Facilities, depending on the type of membership that they have obtained. Note that our system relies on usernames as the Site “identifier” for a particular Member. Please see our Privacy Policy for additional information regarding the information that you provide during the Registration.

4.1.2 Membership Approval; Age and Identity Verification

We maintain a robust process for verifying the age and identity of prospective Members, which includes the review and validation of your government-issued identification and confirmation that the government identification is in the possession of, and belongs to, the prospective Member. Registration is subject to verification of your age and identity, and otherwise subject to the approval of Pinappl at our sole discretion.

4.1.3. Protecting your Password

Please keep in mind that we will treat anyone who uses your password as “you.” We will provide this user with all of the rights and privileges that we provide to you, and we will hold you responsible for the activities of a person using your account. Therefore, we recommend that you maintain your password in confidence and that you refrain from disclosing it to anyone who might “pretend” to be you with respect to the Facilities and your participation on our Website. We also ask that you notify us immediately if you suspect that someone is using your password in this manner.

4.2. Membership Types and Designations

4.2.1. Free Members

You can apply to become a Free Member simply by completing Registration. Free Members have limited access to our Facilities. For example, Free Members do not have access to view the full text of messages sent by other Members or to communicate with any other Member.

4.2.2. Paid Members

After completing Registration and approval of your Profile by Pinappl, which approval may be granted or denied in Pinappl’s sole discretion, you can opt to become a Paid Member by submitting payment to Pinappl pursuant to the guidelines posted on the Site. Paid Members enjoy additional access to Content on our Site that is not available to Free Members.

4.2.3. Unlimited Members

Members may pay to become an Unlimited Member. Unlimited Member accounts have no account renewal obligations and Unlimited Members are not required to pay Pinappl fees beyond those initially paid to Pinappl in order to obtain an Unlimited Member account.

4.2.5. VIP Members

You may request to become a VIP Member of our Site. As a VIP Member, you are allowed to submit information about upcoming events for posting in the appropriate area(s) of the Site (“Party Information”).

VIP Members, depending on the type of Membership selected, are treated as either Free Members or Paid Members for all other purposes.

Pinappl reviews all Party Information to ensure descriptions comply with these Terms, but otherwise does not manage, coordinate, sponsor or host such events. Pinappl reserves the right to post Party Information on the Site and on any of our affiliate Sites.

4.3. Site Visitors

Users who access our Site without becoming Members have very limited access to the Facilities that we provide and/or the Content posted on our Site.

5. Billing and Refunds

After completing Registration and receiving approval of your Membership and Profile, you may become a Paid Member by paying a membership fee (the “Membership Fee”). Paid Members have broader access to, and enjoy more flexible use of, our Site. We provide several different payment methods including electronic payment and more “traditional” payment methods such as mailing a check or money order. You acknowledge and agree that electronic payments are handled through a third-party vendor, and any billing information you provide will be shared with that third-party vendor, to allow the vendor to process payment, and pursuant to the provider’s terms and privacy policy. Please note that Pinappl does not store or retain credit card numbers or expiration dates. All Membership Fee payments made to Pinappl are nonrefundable and nontransferable.

6. Limited Grant of Rights; Profile and Facilities

Our Website is designed to facilitate your interactions with other Members through the use of our Facilities and the creation of your Profile. The following specific provisions govern the creation, use, and treatment of: (i) Member Profiles, (ii) our Facilities; and (iii) the Content.

6.1. Facilities

To allow you to interact with other Members and to participate in our social community, Pinappl has made available to you a range of facilities that allow you to interact with other Members via the: (i) Profile, (ii) forums, (iii) chat rooms, (iv) stories, (v) club listings, (vi) email, (vii) instant messaging; and (viii) other facilities that we may make available from time to time (collectively, the “Facilities”). The Facilities format the Content, store the uploaded Content until it retrieves the Content at the request of Other Members, at which point the Facilities transmit the Content to the requesting Member.

Subject to review and approval by Pinappl, Members may post personal Visual Content which is only accessible to other Members who are affirmatively given access from the uploading Member. Such Content is available via a gallery page (the “Gallery”). The Gallery is intended to be a secure area in which uploaded personal Visual Content is accessed and viewed by other Members in a secure, non-downloadable format.

6.2. Privacy, Your Profile, and Privacy Controls

To allow you greater flexibility in the information you include in your Profile, we provide you with privacy controls that allow you to control certain aspects of your Profile. You may, for example, request that your Profile be designated as “offline” to our online community (our “Privacy Controls”). You may also “block” particular Members from accessing your Profile or contacting you through the Site. In addition, you may designate Visual Content as: (i) public, (ii) private; or (iii) personal. Visual Content designated as “public” can be generally accessed by other Members and in some cases Visitors, Visual Content designated as “private” restricts those that may access your Visual Content, and Visual Content designated as “personal” is designated for your personal gallery only, which can only be viewed by those that you affirmatively designate as having authorization to access personal Visual Content.

Please choose carefully the information you post on your Profile, and that you provide or make available to other Members. Your Profile is freely available to other Members, you MUST not include information in your profile that personally identifies you, such as your telephone number, street address, last name, email address, or any photograph or video that may allow other Members to determine your physical location. Additionally, link or references to other websites are forbidden in profiles.

6.3. Your Grant of Rights to Pinappl

Pinappl has established a host of Facilities to assist you in your efforts to interact and share Content with other Members. This section outlines the rights that Pinappl has in the Content.

6.3.1. Visual & Social Content

You grant to Pinappl, pursuant to your intellectual property rights, only those limited rights that are necessary for Pinappl to assist you in your posting of Visual Content using our Facilities and to enhance the experience that Members enjoy when accessing our Site. Please be aware that no compensation will be paid to you or any third party with respect to our use of your Visual Content under this grant.

6.3.2. Textual Content

You grant to Pinappl, pursuant to your intellectual property rights, a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, right to use, copy, display, perform, and distribute your Textual Content (the “Textual Content License”). Pinappl will provide attribution should it exercise any of its rights pursuant to the Textual Content License. Pinappl shall not distribute your intellectual property for any reason outside of the company’s own publishing platform. You, the user, retains the full intellectual property rights to modify or remove their content from the Pinappl website at anytime.

6.4. Formatting; Visual Content Compatibility

In order to maintain the efficient operation of the Site, Pinappl implements certain format and file-size standards for Visual Content uploaded by Members. By submitting Visual Content to our Site, you authorize Pinappl to convert the submitted Visual Content into a format and size that is compatible with the Site’s requirements (“Visual Content Formatting”). Visual Content Formatting is done solely to ensure technical compatibility between the uploaded Visual Content and our Site and does not have an impact on the subject matter of the Visual Content.

6.5. Your Grant of Rights to Other Members and Site Visitors

You grant to other Members, under your intellectual property rights, the right to access and view Content that you have posted solely for their personal, non-public use. Subject to the limitations set out in Section 9.1 (Filters; Blocking and Removal of Content), you have the option of restricting this grant by identifying particular Visual Content as “private” or “personal,” which is designed to prevent other Members from being allowed to access or view Visual Content that has been uploaded onto the Site unless first given permission by you. Please be aware that, depending on the Privacy Controls that you have selected, it may be possible for Site Visitors to view your Profile or the Content that you have uploaded onto the Site. If your Privacy Controls are set to allow this, then you will be deemed to have granted Site Visitors the same rights granted to other Members pursuant to this Section 6.5 (Your Grant of Rights to Other Members and Site Visitors). Nothing in these Terms shall be construed as giving other Members any rights other than those explicitly stated in this Section 6.5 (Your Grant of Rights to Other Members).

6.6. Rights You Must Have in Your Content; Records

When you upload Content on our Site, you represent and warrant: (i) that you hold all rights needed to grant requisite rights under Section 6.3 (Your Grant of Rights to Pinappl) and Section 6.5 (Your Grant of Rights to Other Members and Site Visitors), (ii) that you own the copyright in all Content subject to copyright protection (or have been given needed permissions by the copyright owner, or use the Content under “fair use” principles), (iii) that each person depicted in images, video, or identified in text in your Content (if any), has provided you with consent to use the Content as set forth in these Terms, (iv) that you are responsible for managing and editing the Visual Content; and (v) that you have verified the identity and age of all persons depicted in your Content to ensure that all persons are adults and will maintain, if required by law, any records pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2257 for Content that you upload onto the Site. You should seek independent legal counsel if you have any questions as to the rights and obligations that you have pursuant to this or any other section.

6.7. Compliance with FOSTA

You represent and warrant that you will not use the Site to engage in any activity that (i) promotes or facilitates prostitution, (ii) facilitates traffickers in advertising the sale of unlawful sex acts with sex trafficking victims, or (iii) may violate the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (“FOSTA”). You further represent and warrant that you will defend, indemnify, and hold Pinappl and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, and employees harmless for claims, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from any claim alleging that you have (i) promoted or facilitated prostitution, (ii) facilitated traffickers in advertising the sale of unlawful sex acts with sex trafficking victims, and/or (iii) violated FOSTA.

6.8. Advertisements and Profiles

You represent and warrant that you shall not use your Profile to: (i) advertise for, or make any reference to, any other website, (ii) sell any product or service, (iii) attempt to attract our Members or Visitors to any other website; or (iv) use any Textual Content for any commercial purpose.

6.9. Use of Profiles in Promotions

We believe that our Members’ own experiences on the Site can often act as the strongest promotion for the Site. To promote the Site, therefore, we may wish to post on our Home Page, and in other areas of the Site, Profiles and other Content of our Members. We assume that Members who choose not to employ our Privacy Controls to prevent this use are interested in (or do not object to) publicizing their Profiles and related Content, and you acknowledge that we will be entitled to use these Members’ Profiles and Content in connection with our advertisements and promotions for the Site.

6.10. Termination of Rights; Survival

Pinappl expressly disclaims ownership in all Visual Content. You can request, and Pinappl will remove within a reasonable time, the Visual Content that you post on our Site. Any rights that you grant to Pinappl, other Members, and Site Visitors in the Visual Content terminate upon your removal of the Visual Content from our Site. The Textual Content License continues in perpetuity.

7. Pinappl’s Grant of Rights to You

In this Section, Pinappl gives Members the rights and privileges that they will need to participate in our Website via the Facilities.

7.1. Rights to Access and Participate in Facilities

9. Monitoring of Facilities; Removing Postings

We provide the Site as a space for open-minded people to meet like-minded individuals across the entire spectrum of non-traditional relationships. We expect each user of our Site to act responsibly, and to respect the rights of others. We seek to protect the integrity and security of our computing systems, and the right to protect our community of Members from claims of intellectual property infringement and other claims or threats, such as those detailed in our Code of Conduct.

Toward these ends, Pinappl monitors the Website and use of the Facilities to ensure compliance with these Terms. As part of this diligence, our staff manually reviews new Member Registrations, Profile write ups, and Profile updates, and verifies age and identity of new Members. We reserve the right in our discretion to: (i) monitor your use of the Website, your Profile and Facilities, any communications made on the Site, and Content transmitted through the Site, (ii) restrict or foreclose access to certain Internet sites or other resources; and (iii) take other actions we deem necessary to protect our Members and the Site. Due to this monitoring, you cannot expect that communications through our Website will remain “private” or otherwise free of our review. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for a precise statement concerning your expectations of privacy.

9.1. Filters; Blocking and Removal of Content

Pinappl has implemented specific guidelines for the subject matter that can be depicted in the Content that you upload or transmit via the Site and all Content is reviewed and filtered by Pinappl, before it is made available on the Site, to ensure that it complies with these Terms and the guidelines provided (see our Help menu) and that Visual Content is placed in the correct section (personal, private, public) on the Member’s Profile. Nothing in this Section 9.1 (Filters; Blocking and Removal of Visual Content) is to be construed as absolving you of your obligations pursuant to Section 6.6 (Rights You Must Have in Your Content; Records). Except as provided in these Terms, Pinappl has no, and assumes no responsibility for the Content that you have uploaded onto the Website.

We also employ filters designed to detect and block the transmission of Content and messages that contain inappropriate or unauthorized content. We reserve the right refuse to post or remove any Content, information or materials, in whole or in part, that we believe, in our sole discretion, are incompatible with these Terms or our Members’ experience on the Site.

If the Member who posted the Content in question cannot establish valid consent to our sole satisfaction, or if the person depicted in the Content can demonstrate that consent was void under applicable law, we will promptly remove such Content. We will otherwise investigate all reported Content and complaints within seven (7) business days and determine whether to remove or block access to Content that does not, in our sole discretion, comply with these Terms or other applicable Content guidelines, or to take action with respect to the person or persons responsible for posting the reported Content or acting inappropriately.

9.3. Revocation or Suspension of Use Privileges

We reserve the right at any time to terminate or suspend your Member account or block your access to our Site or to certain Facilities if you engage in activities that we conclude, in our sole discretion, breach our Code of Conduct or otherwise violate these Terms. In the event that Pinappl terminates a paid account, all membership fees paid up to the date of termination are nonrefundable.

Users should also understand that our Code of Conduct is based in many instances on principles of state and federal law. Users who violate our Code of Conduct accordingly may be exposed under these state and federal laws to criminal charges, and civil liability to harmed parties for compensatory damages and attorney’s fees. Pinappl reserves the right at all times to disclose information it deems necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, consistent with these Terms and its Privacy Policy.

9.4. Member Disputes

You are solely responsible for your interaction with other Members, both online or offline. We may monitor disputes between you and other Members, but we have no obligation to become involved. If you have a dispute with one or more Members, you release Pinappl(and our officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, and affiliates) from all claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such dispute.

Excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief, any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of the Site or these Terms, including without limitation, any and all disputes, claims (whether in tort, contract, statutory or otherwise) or disagreements concerning the existence, breach, interpretation, application or termination of the Terms, shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Inc. Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures then in effect. There shall be no right or authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis. The arbitration shall take place in the state of Florida or at the option of the party seeking relief, online, by telephone, online, or via written submissions alone, and be administered by JAMS. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties. Judgment on any award(s) rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Nothing in this section shall prevent either party from seeking immediate injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with the agreement to arbitrate or a waiver of the right to arbitrate. The parties undertake to keep confidential all awards in their arbitration, together with all confidential information, all materials in the proceedings created for the purpose of the arbitration and all other documents produced by the other party in the proceedings and not otherwise in the public domain, save and to the extent that disclosure may be required of a party by legal duty, to protect or pursue a legal right or to enforce or challenge an award in legal proceedings before a court or other judicial authority.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE THAT EACH PARTY TO A DISPUTE HEREUNDER MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both you and we agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

21. Severability
