1. Accepting These Terms

This document and other documents that we reference below outline the rules and regulations, or what we officially call the Terms and Conditions (the “Terms” for short).

The Terms are a legally binding contract between you and SoWickesited (collectively “SoWickesited”, “So Wickesited”, “we”, or “us”… we sometimes refer to ourselves in third person, haha!). This contract sets out your rights and responsibilities when you use our website available at SoWickesited.com, our social media pages and accounts and the other services provided by SoWickesited (we’ll refer to all of these collectively as our “Services”), so please read it carefully. By using any of our Services (even just browsing this website), you’re agreeing to the Terms. If you don’t agree with the Terms, you may not access or use our Services for any purpose.

Please note that section 10. Disputes with SoWickesited contains an arbitration clause and class action waiver. By agreeing to the Terms, you agree to resolve all disputes through binding individual arbitration, which means that you waive any right to have those disputes decided by a judge or jury, and that you waive your right to participate in class actions, class arbitrations, or representative actions.

2. The Other Documents We Mentioned

If you use any of our Services, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy and our Media Use Policy.

If you share content with us on social media or via this website for the purpose of social media promotion, you agree to our User Generated Content Terms of Use.

Additional policies, terms, and conditions applicable to certain Services or to particular content or transactions, may also be posted in particular areas of our Services and, together with these Terms, govern your use of those areas. Any such additional policies, terms, and conditions are incorporated into these Terms. If any inconsistency exists between these Terms and such additional policies, terms, and conditions, such additional polices, terms, and conditions applicable to that area of the applicable Services will be controlling with respect to that particular area.

The Terms, including all of the policies that make up the Terms, supersede any other agreement between you and SoWickesited regarding the Services.

3. Your Privacy

We know your personal information is important to you, so it’s important to us. Our Privacy Policy details how your information is used when you use our Services.

4. Your Content

Our Services exist to inspire nomads, families, travelers and anyone with a little wanderlust to get out and adventure.

That inspiration can sometimes come from you, our friends, followers and users.

If we choose to use your content, please read our Media Use Policy and User Generated Content Terms of Use to see how we use your content.

Exclusions. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or consequential damages, so some of the exclusions and/or limitations in Section 6 and this Section 7 may not apply to you.

8. Reporting Intellectual Property Infringement

SoWickesited takes claims of intellectual property infringement seriously.

Copyright Infringement

We will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable law. If you believe any content accessible on the Services infringes your copyright, you may request removal of such content (or access thereto) by submitting written notification to our copyright agent using the form on the Contact Us page or sending an email to compliance@sowickesited.com. In accordance with the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) (“DMCA”), your written notice of alleged copyright infringement must include substantially the following:

  • your physical or electronic signature;
  • identification of the copyrighted work you believe to have been infringed or, if the claim involves multiple works on the Services, a representative list of such works;
  • identification of the content you believe to be infringing in a sufficiently precise manner to allow us to locate that content;
  • adequate information by which we can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number and, if available, email address);
  • a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
  • a statement that the information in your written notice is accurate; and
  • a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

If you fail to comply with all of the requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA, your DMCA notice may not be effective. Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that content on the Services is infringing your copyright, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

Trademark Infringement

Using a trademark that is similar to a third party’s mark in a way that causes confusion by falsely implying (i) an affiliation or association with the third party or (ii) the third party has sponsored or approved the trademark user’s goods or services may be considered trademark infringement. Any action that may be deemed trademark infringement is a violation of SoWickesited’s trademark policy.

If you are a trademark owner and you believe your trademark is being infringed, please be aware that SoWickesited does not mediate trademark disputes between our Services users and trademark owners. As a result, we strongly encourage trademark owners to resolve their disputes directly with the user who posted the content in question by messaging them directly. Contacting the user may resolve things more quickly in a way that is more beneficial to you, the user, and the SoWickesited community.

If you are unable to make contact with the user in question for any reason, please submit a trademark complaint that includes the following information:

  • The full legal name of the trademark owner
  • The address of the trademark owner
  • Your full legal name (if you are not the trademark owner)
  • Your email address (please use company email address)
  • Your title
  • The trademark (include a description for any incorporated design elements)
  • The trademark registration number, including registration office
  • URL or location of allegedly infringing use of trademark
  • A statement substantially similar to the following: “Under penalty of perjury, I declare that (a) I have a good-faith belief that the challenged material violates my trademark rights or the rights of the trademark owner, (b) the information in my complaint is true and correct, and (c) I am the trademark owner or am authorized to act on the trademark owner’s behalf.”

The complaint should be sent to compliance@sowickesited.com or by completing the form on the Contact Us page.

9. Indemnification

We hope this never happens, but if SoWickesited gets sued because of something that you did, you agree to defend and indemnify us. That means you’ll defend SoWickesited (including any of our employees) and hold us harmless from any legal claim or demand (including reasonable attorney’s fees) that arises from your actions, your use (or misuse) of our Services, your breach of the Terms, or your account’s infringement of someone else’s rights.

We reserve the right to handle our legal defense however we see fit, even if you are indemnifying us, in which case you agree to cooperate with us so we can execute our strategy.

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any action subject to indemnification by you, and in such event you agree to cooperate with us in defending such action. You agree not to settle any such matter without the prior written consent of SoWickesited.

10. Disputes With SoWickesited

If you’re upset with us, let us know by filling out the form on the Contact Us page, and hopefully we can resolve your issue. But if we can’t, then these rules will govern any legal dispute involving our Services:

A. Governing Law. The Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to its conflict of laws rules, and the laws of the United States of America. These laws will apply no matter where in the world you live, but if you live outside of the United States, you may be entitled to the protection of the mandatory consumer protection provisions of your local consumer protection law.

B. Geographic Restrictions. SoWickesited is based in the State of Utah in the United States. SoWickesited make no claims that the Services are accessible or appropriate outside of the United States. Access to and use of the Services may not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

C. Arbitration. You and SoWickesited agree that any dispute or claim arising from or relating to the Terms shall be finally settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, unless otherwise required by law. Arbitration, including threshold questions of arbitrability of the dispute, will be handled by a sole arbitrator. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction. Any arbitration under the Terms will take place on an individual basis — class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You understand that by agreeing to the Terms, you and SoWickesited are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action or class arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall have the right to bring an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief, pending a final decision by the arbitrator. You may instead assert your claim in “small claims” court, but only if your claim qualifies, your claim remains in such court, and your claim remains on an individual, non-representative, and non-class basis.

D. Limitation on Time to File Claims. ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES OR CONTENT MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

E. Waiver and Severability. Our failure to enforce any part of the Terms is not a waiver of our right to later enforce that or any other part of the Terms. We may assign any of our rights and obligations under the Terms. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent possible, and the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.

11. Changes to The Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we believe that the changes are material, we’ll definitely let you know by posting the changes through the Services and/or sending you an email or message about the changes. That way you can decide whether you want to continue using the Services. Changes will be effective upon the posting of the changes unless otherwise specified. You are responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any changes. Your use of the Services following the changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

12. Contact Information

If you have any questions about the Terms, please fill out the form on the Contact Us page. The Terms set rules for us at SoWickesited and our users to abide by and they are legal protection. The Terms might be difficult to read or understand, but we’re real people with good intentions so we’d be happy to talk about any concerns you might have.
