The World's South Asian Noticeboard

1. Our service

Lanka Note helps you discover and do what you love. To do that, we show you things we think will be relevant, interesting and personal to you based on your onsite and offsite activity. To provide our Service, we need to be able to identify you and your interests. Some of the things we show you are promoted by advertisers. As part of our service we try to ensure that even promoted content is relevant and interesting to you. You can identify promoted content because it will be clearly labelled.

2. Using Lanka Note

You may use Lanka Note only if you can legally form a binding contract with Lanka Note, and only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws. When you create your Lanka Note account, you must provide us with accurate and complete information. You can’t use Lanka Note if it would be prohibited by U.S. sanctions. Any use or access by anyone under the age of 13 is not allowed. If you’re based in the EEA, you may only use Lanka Note if you are over the age at which you can provide consent to data processing under the laws of your country. Using Lanka Note may include downloading software to your computer, phone, tablet, or other device. You agree that we may automatically update that software, and these Terms will apply to any updates.

We care about the security of our users. While we work to protect the security of your content and account, Lanka Note can’t guarantee that unauthorized third parties won’t be able to defeat our security measures. We ask that you keep your password secure. Please notify us immediately of any compromise or unauthorized use of your account.

6. Third party links, sites, and services

Lanka Note may contain links to third party websites, advertisers, services, special offers, or other events or activities that are not owned or controlled by Lanka Note. We don’t endorse or assume any responsibility for any such third party sites, information, materials, products, or services. If you access any third party website, service, or content from Lanka Note, you do so at your own risk and you agree that Lanka Note has no liability arising from your use of or access to any third party website, service, or content.

7. Termination

Lanka Note may terminate or suspend your right to access or use Lanka Note for any reason on appropriate notice. We may terminate or suspend your access immediately and without notice if we have a good reason. Upon termination, you continue to be bound by Sections 3 and 8 of these Terms.

8. Indemnity

If you use Lanka Note for commercial purposes (i.e., you are not a consumer) without agreeing to our Business Terms, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Lanka Note Inc, Lanka Note Europe Ltd, their affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any claims, suits, proceedings, disputes, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees (including costs of defense of claims, suits or proceedings brought by third parties), in any way related to your access to or use of our Service, your User Content, or your breach of any of these Terms.

9. Disclaimers

Our Service and all content on Lanka Note is provided on an "as is" basis without warranty of any kind, whether express or implied. Lanka Note specifically disclaims any and all warranties and conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade. Lanka Note takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any User Content that you or any other person or third party posts or sends using our Service. You understand and agree that you may be exposed to User Content that’s inaccurate, objectionable, inappropriate for children, or otherwise unsuited to your purpose. If you're a consumer in the EEA, we don’t exclude or limit any liability for gross negligence, intent, or death or personal injury caused by our negligence or willful misconduct.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Lanka Note SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM (A) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE; (B) ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE SERVICE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF OTHER USERS OR THIRD PARTIES; OR (C) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR CONTENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL Lanka Note'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (U.S. $100.00). If we cause damage to you and you're a consumer in the EEA, the above doesn’t apply. Instead, Lanka Note’s liability will be limited to foreseeable damages arising due to a breach of material contractual obligations typical for this type of contract. Lanka Note isn’t liable for damages that result from a non-material breach of any other applicable duty of care. This limitation of liability won’t apply to any statutory liability that cannot be limited, to liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or willful misconduct, or if and to exclude our responsibility for something we have specifically promised to you.

11. Arbitration

For any dispute you have with Lanka Note, you agree to first contact us and try to resolve the dispute with us informally. If we need to contact you, we will do so at the email address on your Lanka Note account. If Lanka Note hasn’t been able to resolve the dispute with you informally, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms through binding arbitration or (for qualifying claims) in small claims court. Arbitration is a more informal way to resolve our disagreements than a lawsuit in court. For instance, arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, involves more limited discovery, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Although the process is more informal, arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Service, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Lanka Note are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and the termination of your Lanka Note account.

12. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. If you are not a consumer in the EEA, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with this agreement is San Francisco County, California, or the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and our dispute will be determined under California law. If you are a consumer in the EEA, this won’t deprive you of any protection you have under the law of the country where you live and access to the courts in that country.

13. General terms

We reserve the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to you, and you agree to receive legal notices electronically if that’s what we decide. We may revise these Terms from time to time and the most current version will always be posted on our website. If a revision, in our discretion, is material, we’ll notify you. By continuing to access or use Lanka Note after revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the new Terms. If you don’t agree to the new terms, please stop using Lanka Note.
