Terms of Service
Last Update: July 6, 2021
Acceptance
These Terms of Service (these “Terms”) govern your use of www.livehive.com (the “Site”) and/or the Live Hive mobile application (the “App”). The Site and the App are collectively referred to herein as the “Platform.” These Terms have a force of a legally binding agreement, even if you are simply browsing without intention to contact us or register an account. The term “us,” “we” or “our” refers to the owners and operators of the Platform. The term “you” refers to the viewer of the Platform. Our
Privacy Policy is another important document that you should familiarize yourself with because it describes our practices with respect to your personal information. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time, effective upon posting of an updated version of these Terms on the Site. Your continued use of the Platform or Services after any such change shall constitute your consent to such change. We don’t notify users about every change to these Terms but you can see the date of the last update at the top of this page. If you still wish to visit the Platform after that date, that constitutes your agreement to the updates. If you are using the Platform on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to these Terms, in which case the terms “User”, “you” or “your” shall refer to such entity. If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree with the terms of these Terms, you must not accept these Terms and may not access and use the Platform.
IMPORTANT: Review section 12 below. Your use of the Platform constitutes your agreement to arbitrate disputes instead of having them resolved by a court. You hereby waive any right to a jury trial you may have had. You also waive your right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding against us.
Neutral Venue
- Venue. The Platform is a marketing platform with various customizable instruments (extensions) for brand owners and other users. Our Platform is a neutral venue. WE SHALL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR USERS’ DATA, TRANSACTIONS, INTERACTIONS, AND INFORMATION. We are not liable for the consequences of you disclosing your personal information to others.
- Interactive Features. The Platform includes interactive features that allow users to communicate with us and each other. You agree that, because of the limited nature of such communication, any guidance you may receive can be incomplete and may even be misleading. Therefore, any assistance you may receive using any our Platform’s interactive features does not constitute specific advice and should not be relied upon without further competent independent confirmation.
- Third Parties. The Platform may contain references to third-party websites and rely on third-party services for support. We shall not be liable for any third-party venues and cannot guarantee their performance. We do not monitor all content submitted to the Platform. We shall not be liable for user submissions or any third-party content on the Platform.
- No Professional Advice. Nothing on our Platform constitutes legal, career, or any other type of professional advice on our part. Your use of the Platform does not form an attorney-client, employer-employee, or any other professional relationship between you and us. If you engage anybody listed on our Platform, we are not a party to your interactions and transactions.
Affiliate Disclosure
The Platform contains affiliate links. We receive a small percentage of a final sale if you buy something after following any of those affiliate links. Your trust is of utmost importance to us. That’s why, even though we sometimes receive affiliate compensation, we always provide only our honest ratings, reviews, opinions or experiences on everything you see on our Platform. We review all products we find useful, not just the affiliate ones. Any product claim, statistic, quote, or other representation about a product or service should be independently verified with the vendor, manufacturer, expert, service provider, or another party in question.

Payments, Refunds and Cancellation
You shall pay all fees or charges to your account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. Where services are offered on a free trial basis, payment may be required after the free trial period ends, and not when you enter your billing details (which may be required prior to the commencement of the free trial period). Refunds of up to one month of services are only given if requested within 3 days of receipt of payment. You can cancel an enterprise product upon at least 30 days’ prior notice. You can cancel other products by notifying us at least 5 days prior to the commencement of the next recurring billing cycle.

We reserve the right to change products, services and pricing at any time. We also reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order.

In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless our company, its officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from any and all third party allegations, claims, actions, disputes, or demands asserted against any of them as a result of or relating to (i) your Content, (ii) your use of the Platform or services; (iii) any willful misconduct on your part, (iv) your violation of any provision of these Terms; (v) your violation of any third party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right; or (vi) any claim that one of your user submissions caused damage to a third party.
Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
- Arbitration. If a dispute arises from or relates to these Terms or the breach thereof, and if the dispute cannot be settled through direct discussions, the parties agree to endeavor first to settle the dispute by at least 10 hours of mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Mediation Procedures before resorting to arbitration. The parties further agree that any unresolved controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or breach thereof, shall be settled by binding, non-appealable arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado (excluding its choice of law rules) and, as may be applicable, the laws of the United States. The arbitration will be based on the submission of documents and there shall be no in-person or oral hearing. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses and an equal share of the arbitrators’ and administrative fees of arbitration. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties. The parties agree that failure or refusal of a party to pay its required share of the deposits for arbitrator compensation or administrative charges shall constitute a waiver by that party to present evidence or cross-examine witness. In such event, the other party shall be required to present evidence and legal argument as the arbitrator(s) may require for the making of an award. Such waiver shall not allow for a default judgment against the non-paying party in the absence of evidence presented as provided for above. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement. You understand that this Section means that, by using the Platform, you agree to arbitrate, thus, waiving your rights to sue in court and have a jury trial.
- Class Action Waiver. You acknowledge and agree that you waive your right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and us otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding.

- Severability.

If any provision or portion of any provision of these Terms shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, it is the intention of the parties that the remaining provisions or portions thereof shall constitute their agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all such remaining provisions or portions thereof shall remain in full force and effect.
- Assignment. We have the right, at our sole discretion, to assign or subcontract our rights or obligations outlined in these Terms.
- Waiver. Our failure to exercise any of our rights under these Terms shall not be considered a waiver to exercise them in other instances. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by us.
- Prevailing Language. If there are any inconsistencies or conflicts between the English original of these Terms and any foreign language translation, the English version shall prevail.
