Terms of service - Brands.

 

Neon Coat, LLC (“Neon Coat” or “we” or “us” or “our”) provides a platform for directly connecting businesses and signed models (the “Services”).

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) apply to your access and use of the Neon Coat mobile application (the “App”), our website located at https://www.neoncoat.com (the “Site”), our proprietary platform that powers the Services and other online products and services of Neon Coat (collectively, with the App and the Site, the “Neon Coat Services”). These Terms will govern any upgrades to the Neon Coat Services, unless the upgrade is accompanied by a separate license, in which case the terms of that license will govern.

The Neon Coat Services
Through the Neon Coat Services, you can be connected with signed models (each a “Neon Coat Model”) to engage for a variety of promotional purposes, which may include (without limitation) modeling or other professional gigs, sampling your products and services, and attending your venues or events (each, an “Engagements”). When you submit a request to us for a model or models for a particular Engagement (each a “Request”), you must provide related details as requested by Neon Coat, including (without limitation) the incentives or other compensation offered to the models for such Engagement (the “Offer”).

Submission of a Request does not obligate Neon Coat in any way, and Neon Coat has the right to accept or reject a Request in its sole discretion. If Neon Coat accepts a Request, it will broadcast the Offer to the Neon Coat Models in whatever manner and format that Neon Coat, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. Neon Coat further reserves the right, but has no obligation, to promote the Offer through its affiliates and third-party business partners.

When redeeming an Offer, Neon Coat Models will receive (as applicable) an electronic ticket via the App that evidences redemption of the Offer and contains the terms and conditions of such Offer (an “E-Ticket”).
Neon Coat Models may then redeem the Offer by presenting their E-Tickets to you at the Engagement (as applicable) through their mobile devices (or via any other method that Neon Coat has adopted for E-Ticket redemption), and having you check them in manually via the App (or consenting to their checking themselves in via the App).

You agree to comply with your obligations as specified in each Offer, including but not limited to honoring all of your Offers (unless you reasonably believe that an attempt is being made to redeem an E-Ticket in an unauthorised or illegal manner, in which case you shall immediately contact Neon Coat and explain the circumstances) and complying with the terms of your Offers as stated without modification, and without imposing any restrictions or additional charges or penalties that are not expressly stated in the Offer.

You may subcontract or delegate to a third party portions of your performances required by these Terms with respect to a particular Offer (each, a “Third Party Merchant”). If you subcontract or delegate to Third Party Merchants with respect to fulfilling an Offer, you will remain solely responsible and liable for (a) all your obligations, including financial obligations, under these Terms and (b) all acts and omissions of your Third Party Merchants. You shall require your Third Party Merchants to comply with all applicable restrictions and obligations imposed on you under these Terms, and you will be solely responsible for your financial and contractual relationship with your Third Party Merchants.

Should you encounter any inappropriate conduct or behavior by a Neon Coat Model, please contact us at [email protected].

Governing Law; Arbitration
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY. THEY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH NEON COAT, AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM NEON COAT.

These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the United States of America, without resort to any conflict of law provisions. In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms or the Neon Coat Services, you and Neon Coat agree to consult and negotiate with each other and, recognizing your mutual interests, try to reach a solution satisfactory to both parties. If we do not reach settlement within a period of 60 days, then either of us may, by notice to the other demand mediation under the mediation rules of the JAMS/Endispute (“JAMS”) in New York, New York. Both you and Neon Coat both give up the right to litigate disputes and may not proceed to arbitration without first trying mediation, but you and Neon Coat are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief from the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents. Whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in court, you and Neon Coat will not commence against the other a class action, class arbitration or other representative action or proceeding.

If settlement is not reached within 60 days after service of a written demand for mediation, any unresolved controversy or claim will be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the rules of JAMS before a single arbitrator in New York, New York. The language of all proceedings and filings will be English. The arbitrator will render a written opinion including findings of fact and law and the award and/or determination of the arbitrator will be binding on the parties, and their respective administrators and assigns, and will not be subject to appeal. Judgment may be entered upon the award of the arbitrator in any court of competent jurisdiction. The expenses of the arbitration will be shared equally by the parties unless the arbitration determines that the expenses will be otherwise assessed and the prevailing party may be awarded its attorneys’ fees and expenses by the arbitrator. It is the intent of the parties that, barring extraordinary circumstances, arbitration proceedings will be concluded within 90 days from the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator may extend this time limit only if failure to do so would unduly prejudice the rights of the parties. Failure to adhere to this time limit will not constitute a basis for challenging the award. Consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, pre-hearing information exchange will be limited to the reasonable production of relevant, non-privileged documents, carried out expeditiously.

For any disputes that are not handled by arbitration, you agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these Terms will be filed only in the state and federal courts located in New York, New York and you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of these Terms or the use of the Neon Coat Services.

No Circumvention
Any attempt to try to circumvent Neon Coat (e.g., by contacting Neon Coat Models directly for the express purpose of circumventing the Neon Coat Services) is prohibited and may result in the termination of your account and/or access to the Neon Coat Services in Neon Coat’s sole discretion.

General
Enforcement of these Terms is solely at Neon Coat’s discretion. Failure to enforce any part of these Terms in some instances does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce the same or other part of these Terms in other instances. If any provision of these Terms is or becomes unlawful, void or otherwise unenforceable (including the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations above), then that provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect. The section headings of these Terms are for reference purposes only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of these Terms.

These Terms (and the other policies and terms referred to above) make up the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Neon Coat Services, and they supersede any prior agreements that may have been made.
