Talkable allows Advocates the opportunity to refer Friends (the “Talkable Referral Program”) Offer to try the goods and/or services of Allied Schools (the “Merchant”). In order to participate in the Talkable Referral Program, an Advocate may be required to provide us with certain Personal Data, which may include his or her name and email address. The Advocate will have the ability to share the Offer with a Friend, and this can be done in various ways, including sharing the Offer through Facebook or emailing the Offer to your Friend. Once the Offer is received by your Friend(s), your Friend(s) will have the ability to accept the Offer to purchase the Merchant’s goods and/or services. The Offer is subject to the Allied Schools Offer Terms. You understand and agree that the Allied Schools Offer Terms are entered into by and between you and the Merchant and that Talkable is not a party to the Allied Schools Offer Terms.
You understand that the terms of a particular Offer are governed by the Allied Schools’s Offer Terms, which may contain restrictions imposed by the Merchant, including without limitation, a minimum spend, limits on how many times or to how many Friends an Advocate may refer an Offer, and expirations on when the Offer may be claimed. You further understand that Talkable is in no way involved in any decision pertaining to any particular Offer, including but not limited to the terms of such Offer and who may or may not redeem Rewards (as that term is defined below). As such, you understand and agree that Talkable is not liable for any damages you may suffer as a result of participating in the Program, including but not limited to your inability to obtain or redeem any Rewards. The Talkable Referral Program is subject to modification or termination at any time without notice in our sole discretion.
A core aspect of the Service is to provide Advocates and Friends the best discounts and perks our merchants’ offers. To that end, Talkable will allow the Merchant to access the Personal Data of Advocates and Friends to facilitate the provision of the Offer and related services surrounding the Talkable Referral Program. Additionally, Talkable will also allow merchants other than the Merchant (the “Third-Party Merchants”) access to the Personal Data of Advocates and Friends to facilitate the provision of the services offered as part of the Talkable Referral Program, including showing Advocates and Friends promotions or offers from the Third-Party Merchants and personalizing the offer in accordance with Advocates’ and Friends’ preferences, sharing or purchase history. While the Merchant’s and the Third-Party Merchants’ use of your Personal Data is beyond our control, by agreeing to these Terms and our Privacy Policy, you do consent to Talkable sharing your Personal Data with the Merchant and the Third-Party Merchants to provide you with the services of the Talkable Referral Program. Further, you understand that the Merchant and the Third Party Merchants may not have appropriate technical and organizational safeguards in place for your Personal Data, including (1) being in a country that has adequate data privacy protections (as determined by the European Commission); (2) having in place Binding Corporate Rules; (3) being certified under the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield programs; and/or (4) having Data Processing Agreements that incorporate Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. The Merchant and/or the Third-Party Merchants may be in countries that the European Commission has determined do not provide for an adequate level of data protection to meet the requirements under the GDPR. If the Merchant and/or the Third-Party Merchants do not have appropriate technical and organizational safeguards, you understand that there might be certain risks affecting your Personal Data, including but not limited to the fact there might not be a supervisory authority, data processing principles, and/or data subject rights in such countries that protect your Personal Data in the same way and to the same extent the principles and standards of the GDPR might. You agree that your consent to the above is our lawful basis under the GDPR for transferring your Personal Data to the Merchant and the Third-Party Merchants.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Talkable, its directors, officers, and agents, as well as its licensors, and suppliers from any damages, liabilities, claims or demands (including costs and attorneys’ fees) made by any third party due to or arising out of (i) your use of the Service, (ii) your violation of these Terms, or (iii) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

You agree not to settle any such claim without Talkable’s prior written consent. Talkable will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.
These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in or for San Francisco County, California for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes, unless such claim or dispute is required to be arbitrated as set forth in these Terms.
You agree to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of the Service in the following manner. First, you and Talkable each agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally by contacting each other by email (you can email us at support@talkable.com ). Second, if the dispute is not resolved through informal resolution, we both agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through mediation administered by JAMS, which shall take place in San Francisco County, California, and the costs of which shall be divided equally between you and Talkable. Third, if the dispute is not resolved through informal resolution and mediation, we both agree to participate in binding arbitration administered by JAMS, which shall take place in San Francisco County, California.
Either you or we may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief without first engaging in the dispute resolution process described above.
We both agree that, in the event of arbitration, or in the event of a lawsuit as permitted by this Section or otherwise, the prevailing party shall be entitled to costs and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees). Arbitration pursuant to this Section shall be confidential, and neither you, nor Talkable, nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement or appeal of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction. There shall be no right or authority for any claims subject to this arbitration clause to be arbitrated on a class action or consolidated basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public (including, but not limited to, as a private attorney general). If any portion of this arbitration clause is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall still be given full force and effect.

If, for whatever reason, any term or condition in these Terms is deemed unenforceable, all other terms and conditions will remain unaffected and in full force and effect. The failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to do so later, and no waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
These Terms shall be binding on the parties and their respective successors and assigns. These Terms may be assigned by Talkable without restriction. These Terms may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by you without our prior written consent.
