Zamio Terms of Use
Last Updated September 15, 2022
Welcome to Zamio! We are excited to offer you and your child a simple (and fun) way to sky-rocket your child’s self-esteem. These Zamio Terms of Use are a contract between you on behalf of yourself and your child and Activate Potential LLC dba Zamio (“Zamio,” “us” or “we”). These Terms of Use (or “Terms”) apply to Zamio’s online gamified courses and content and your interactions with us online or offline through zamio.co or any of our other online channels (collectively, our “Services”).
THESE TERMS INCLUDE A CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND AN ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT GOVERNS ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND ZAMIO.
WHO CAN USE ZAMIO?
Zamio is designed for use by children under the supervision of the child’s parent or legal guardian (the child’s “Grownup”). To be eligible to register and subscribe to the Services, you must be at least 18 years of age, be physically located in a jurisdiction where we offer the Services and where use of the Services complies with applicable laws, and at all times abide by these Terms. If you use the Services as a Grownup to a user who is a legal minor (“child”), you agree: (i) to be bound by these Terms on behalf of yourself and your child; (ii) that you consent to your child’s use of the Services; and (iii) to take full responsibility for your child’s activities on the Services. If you are a child using the Services, then “you” as used herein (unless context requires otherwise) includes both you and your Guardian. By accessing the Services in any manner, you represent and warrant that you and your child meet the eligibility criteria set forth in these Terms. If you do not follow or qualify under such critieria, you must not use the Services. We reserve the right to suspend your access to the Services without notice to you if we discover or suspect that you do not meet the requirements of this section. For clarity, any access or use of the Services by a child without the consent to these Terms and supervision of their Grownup is strictly prohibited and in violation of these Terms.
YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS
By accessing, registering, or using the Services, you accept and consent to these Terms, our Privacy Notice, and all other documents incorporated by reference. You can also accept the Terms by (i) clicking to accept or agree to the Terms where this option is made available to you in any agreement or electronic form; (ii) by creating an account; (iii) by clicking “sign up” or any similar mechanism; (iv) or by downloading or using the Services in any manner. These Terms will remain in effect as long as you access or use the Services. Additional, separate terms that apply to your use of the Services will be considered to form part of these Terms. We reserve the right to update the Terms or change or delete any content or experience on the Services at any time. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Services.
ACCOUNT REGISTRATION
Before your child can use our Services, you must register with Zamio as the child’s Grownup to create an account and provide consent for your child to use the Services. Once your Grownup account is created, your child can register for access to the Services through your account under the child’s name. You agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as requested on the Services and to update your information to keep it current and accurate within a reasonable time after any change.

NOT MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT
Zamio does not offer mental health treatment of any kind.

Always seek the advice from a mental health professional or other qualified health provider with any questions you or your child may have regarding your mental health. Never disregard professional advice or delay in seeking it because of something you or your child saw on Zamio’s Services.
If you or your child are in crisis or you think you may have an emergency, call your doctor or 911 immediately. If you're having suicidal thoughts, call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to talk to a skilled, trained counselor at a crisis center in your area at any time (National Suicide Prevention Lifeline).

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, if the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, USA to enforce these Terms or adjudicate any other Dispute, and you and Zamio each agree to waive the right to a jury trial.
LIMITATION ON CLAIMS

Use of the Services is void where prohibited. Zamio reserves the right to limit, in our sole discretion, the provision and quantity of all or certain Services to any person or geographic area.
RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES
The parties’ relationship, as established by these Terms, is solely that of independent contractors. These Terms do not create any partnership, joint venture, or similar business relationship between the parties. Neither party is a legal representative of the other party, and neither party can direct and control the day-to-day activities of the other, or assume or create any obligation, representation, warranty, or guarantee, express or implied, on behalf of the other party for any purpose whatsoever.
ASSIGNMENT
You may not assign, delegate, or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent, but Zamio may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may, without consent, assign these Terms to any successor to all or substantially all its business that concerns these Terms (whether by sale of assets or equity, merger, consolidation or otherwise). Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT
Except as otherwise stated herein, these Terms and the agreements incorporated by reference herein constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Zamio and you regarding the Services and supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Zamio and you regarding the Services.
ENFORCEMENT
Zamio reserves the right (but is not required) to remove or disable your access to our Services, disable any username, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, or remove any Content, or your User Generated Material at any time and without notice, and at our sole discretion, if we determine that your use of our Services is in any way objectionable or in violation of these Terms. Certain violations of these Terms, as determined by Zamio, may result in immediate termination of your access to the Services without prior notice to you. We have the right to investigate violations of these Terms and any conduct that affects our Services, and in response may take any action we may deem appropriate.
WAIVER; SEVERABILITY
Zamio’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. Except as expressly set forth herein, 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. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
NOTICES
Any notices or other communications provided by us under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by email, the date of receipt on the message will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.
CONSENT TO DO BUSINESS ONLINE
By accessing the Services, registering for or using the Services, or typing your name into any of our electronic forms and indicating your acceptance or submission of information by clicking a box, you consent to (i) Zamio communicating with you electronically; (ii) receiving all applications, notices, disclosures, and authorizations (collectively, “Records”) from us electronically; and (iii) entering into agreements and transactions using electronic Records and signatures. Please note that federal law treats electronic signatures as having the same legal force and effect as if they were signed on paper by hand, and online contracts have the same legal force as signing an equivalent paper contract in ink. We will use electronic documents for all communications, notices, agreements, disclosures, authorizations, and other documents necessary to provide you with the Services. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing. You must have a computer or other web-enabled device, an internet connection, an active email account, and the ability to receive and read PDF files to conduct business with us electronically. You agree to be responsible for keeping your own Records. If you require assistance with your Records or if you wish to receive Records in paper format or to withdraw your consent to receiving electronic records from us, please contact us at hello@zamio.co. Agreements and transactions executed prior to this request will remain valid and enforceable.
AMENDMENTS
We may revise and update these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them and will apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter. If you do not want to agree to the revised Terms, you may not use the Services, and accordingly, must immediately terminate your use of the Services.
Your continued use of the Services following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes.
