Please read these Terms and our Privacy Policy (https://safebutler.com/policy) (“Privacy Policy”) carefully because they govern your use of our Site and our automated insurance shopping services accessible via our Site and our mobile device application (“App”).

Agreement to Terms

By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by these Terms, do not use the Services. If you are accessing and using the Services on behalf of a company (such as your employer) or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to these Terms. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to that company or other legal entity.

Privacy Policy.

Please refer to our Privacy Policy https://safebutler.com/policy) for information on how we collect, use and disclose information from our users. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ARBITRATION: WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS YOU ARE AGREEING (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION) TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND SAFEBUTLER THROUGH BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT.

Changes to Terms or Services.

We may update the Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. If we do so, we’ll let you know either by posting the updated Terms on the Site or through other communications. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we update them or you use the Services. If you continue to use the Services after we have posted updated Terms, you are agreeing to be bound by the updated Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the updated Terms, then, except as otherwise provided in Section 19(f) “Effect of Changes on Arbitration,” you may not use the Services anymore. Because our Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.

YOU AGREE THAT THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, AND ANY SERVICE OR PRODUCTS REQUESTED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, REMAINS SOLELY WITH YOU, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

(b) [THE SERVICES ARE ONLY A MEDIUM BY WHICH YOU CAN SEE ALTERNATE OPTIONS FOR INSURANCE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, AND THAT FACILITATES YOUR PROCESS FOR CHOOSING AND ENROLLING IN INSURANCE POLICIES THAT – YOU DECIDE- ARE BETTER SUITED FOR YOU. BUT THE ULTIMATE DECISION ABOUT WHICH INSURANCE TO ENROLL INTO IS YOURS – AND YOURS ALONE.] WE DO NOT PROVIDE YOU ANY LEGAL, REGULATORY, ACCOUNTING, INSURANCE OR TAX ADVICE THROUGH THE SERVICES OR OTHERWISE. YOU MUST RELY SOLELY UPON YOUR OWN ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ADVICE. FURTHER, THE INFORMATION WE PROVIDE IS NOT INSURANCE ADVICE. ANY INSURANCE PURCHASING DECISIONS SUCH AS COVERAGES (E.G., AMOUNTS), LIMITS, AND DEDUCTIBLES ARE SOLELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSURED. SAFEBUTLER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THE SUITABILITY OF INSURANCE COVERAGES ACQUIRED THROUGH THE SERVICES. WE ALSO DO NOT DIRECTLY SELL OR OFFER ANY INSURANCE POLICIES, BUT MERELY PROVIDE YOU INFORMATION ABOUT, AND ACCESS TO, VARIOUS THIRD PARTY INSURANCE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES SOLD BY THIRD PARTY INSURANCE PROVIDERS.

Limitations of Liability

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL SAFEBUTLER (OR ITS STOCKHOLDERS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, PARTNERS, MEMBERS, DIRECTORS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS AND CONTENT PROVIDERS (COLLECTIVELY, "MEMBERS")) BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION FOR CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS, LOST EARNINGS, LOST DATA, PERSONAL INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SAFEBUTLER AND MEMBERS DO NOT ACCEPT ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THE QUALITY OR FITNESS OF ANY WORK PERFORMED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES.

NEITHER SAFEBUTLER (NOR, ITS STOCKHOLDERS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, PARTNERS, MEMBERS, DIRECTORS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS AND CONTENT PROVIDERS (COLLECTIVELY, "MEMBERS")) WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, EXPENSES, LOSSES, SUITS, CLAIMS, AND/OR LIABILITIES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THE CONDUCT, ACT, DELAY OF PERFORMANCE, OMISSION OF, OR DISPUTE WITH, ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER (OR ANY TRANSACTION OR RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER). THE SERVICES MERELY CONNECT USERS WITH THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS SUCH AS INSURANCE COMPANIES OR CARRIERS. SAFEBUTLER IS NOT A PARTY TO ANY RELATIONSHIP OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND ANY SUCH THIRD PARTY PROVIDER, AND WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE SUITABILITY, LEGALITY OR ABILITY OF ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER TO PROVIDE YOU RELEVANT PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE AND RELEASE SAFEBUTLER FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS OR DAMAGES (ACTUAL, DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL) OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED AND UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED AND UNDISCLOSED, ARISING FROM OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY LIABILITY THAT MAY ARISE BETWEEN YOU AND ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER. THE QUALITY OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER IS ENTIRELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE THIRD PARTY PROVIDER AND YOUR AGREEMENT OR RELATIONSHIP WITH SUCH THIRD PARTIES. YOU UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SERVICES ONLY PROVIDE YOU DIFFERENT INSURANCE CHOICES THAT OUR ALGORITHM BELIEVES MIGHT BE A GOOD OPTION FOR YOU; BUT YOU ALONE MAKE THE CHOICE OF THE INSURANCE AND THE INSURANCE PROVIDER THAT YOU THINK IS THE BEST SUITED FOR YOUR PURPOSES. YOUR USE OF ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER, WHETHER UPON THE SUGGESTION OF THE ALGORITHM OF THE SERVICES, OR OTHERWISE, IS AT YOUR OWN RISK, AND NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES CONSTITUTES, OR IS MEANT TO CONSTITUTE, ADVICE OF ANY KIND. IF YOU REQUIRE ADVICE IN RELATION TO ANY LEGAL, FINANCIAL, MEDICAL, OR INSURANCE MATTER YOU SHOULD CONSULT AN APPROPRIATE PROFESSIONAL.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN TYPES OF DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN NO EVENT WILL SAFEBUTLER’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES OR CONTENT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO SAFEBUTLER FOR USE OF THE SERVICES OR CONTENT IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100), IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD ANY PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS TO SAFEBUTLER, AS APPLICABLE.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE FOREGOING EXCLUSIONS OF DAMAGES AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN US, AND ARE REASONABLE, GIVEN THE FEES FOR THE SERVICES, AND WILL SURVIVE EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.  

Indemnification

You will indemnify, defend, and hold SafeButler and its Members harmless, from and against any claims, disputes, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees arising out of or in any way connected with (i) your access to or use of the Services, (ii) your User Content (iii) your relationship with any third party providers including, third party insurance providers; (iv) your violation of these Terms or (v) your violation of any applicable law or regulation.

Termination

We may terminate your access to and use of the Services, at our sole discretion, at any time and without notice to you. You may cancel your Account at any time by sending an email to us at help@safebutler.com. Upon any termination, discontinuation or cancellation of the Services or your Account, the following provisions of these Terms will survive: Sections 1 (Agreement to Terms), 5 (Important Notices and Disclosures), 7 (Feedback), 8 (Content and Content Rights) (to the extent it related to ownership), 12 (Payment for Transactions with Third Party Providers), 13 (Links to Third-Party Resources or Websites), 14 (Disclaimer), 15 (Limitations of Liability), 16 (Indemnification), 17 (Termination), 18 (Governing Law and Forum Choice), 19 (Dispute Resolution for Consumers), and 20 (General Terms). Dispute Resolution

Governing Law and Forum Choice.

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 19 “Dispute Resolution for Consumers,” the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes (defined below) that you and SafeButler are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal courts located in the Northern District of California, and you and SafeButler each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

Dispute Resolution for Consumers.

(a) Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services or Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. However, if for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial.

(b) Exceptions and Opt-out. As limited exceptions to Section 19(a) above: (i) you may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court If it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights. In addition, you will retain the right to opt out of arbitration entirely and litigate any Dispute if you provide us with written notice of your desire to do so by email at [insert email] or by regular mail at [insert postal address] within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms.

(c) Starting Arbitration. If you want to begin arbitrating a Dispute, you must send a letter to us at the following address PO Box 161 Palo Alto, CA 94302 Attn: Legal. requesting arbitration and describing the Dispute. If we want to begin arbitrating a Dispute, we’ll send such a letter to you at the email address or street address that you provided.

(d) Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) or a comparable arbitral body (e.g., JAMS), in the event the AAA is unable to conduct the arbitration). The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration may be conducted in writing, remotely (e.g., by videoconference) or in-person in the county where you live (or at some other location that we both agree to).

(e) Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. We’ll pay for all filing, administration and arbitrator fees and expenses if your Dispute is for less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.

(f)  Effect of Changes on Arbitration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 “Changes to Terms or Services” above, if SafeButler changes any of the terms of this Section 19 “Dispute Resolution” after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to [email]) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of SafeButler’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and SafeButler in accordance with the terms of this Section 19 “Dispute Resolution” as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

General Terms.

(a) Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between SafeButler and you regarding the Services and Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between SafeButler and you regarding the Services and Content. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without SafeButler’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. SafeButler may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

(b) Notices. SafeButler may give notice by means of a general notice through the Services, electronic mail to your email address in your Account, or by written communication sent by first class mail or pre-paid post to your address in your Account. Such notice shall be deemed to have been given upon the expiration of 48 hours after mailing or posting (if sent by first class mail or pre-paid post) or 12 hours after sending (if sent by email). You may give notice to SafeButler, with such notice deemed given when received by SafeButler, at any time by first class mail to SafeButler, Inc., PO Box 161 Palo Alto, CA 94302 Attn: Legal.


(c) Waiver of Rights. SafeButler’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of SafeButler. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
