AWS Events App Terms of Use

Last updated: September 8, 2021

This is an agreement (these “Terms of Use”) between you and Amazon Web Services, Inc. (together with its affiliates, “AWS,” “we,” or “us”) regarding the AWS Events app (the “Service”).  By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read these Terms of Use and agree to be bound by them.

1. The Service.

The Service provides you with the sessions and events catalogs for AWS events and the campus maps for AWS events. For certain AWS events, you can use the Service to reserve your spot at certain sessions and events, receive live travel estimates to certain campus locations, and provide evaluations on sessions and events. 

2. Use of the Service.

2.1. License. We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, non-sublicenseable license to install and use the Service on your mobile device.

2.2. Information Provided to AWS. When you use the Service, you may grant certain permissions to us for your device. Most mobile devices provide you with information about these permissions. You can view permissions in apps by following these instructions: (a) for most Android devices, open the main Settings app, select Apps, select an app, and scroll to Permissions to see the features the app has permissions to use and (b) for most iOS devices, open the iOS Settings screen, and select the app to see the features the app has permission to use. The Service may provide us with information relating to your use and the performance of the Service, as well as information regarding the devices on which you download and use the Service. For example, this information may include the device type, mobile network connectivity, location of the device, information about when the Service is launched, individual session lengths for use of the Service, content used through the Service, or occurrences of technical errors. If you allow us to view your location, we will do so when you select “My current location” as your origin when requesting a live travel estimate to an AWS event campus location. If you do not allow us to view your location and seek a live travel estimate, you will need to select the origin from a selection of AWS event campus locations. Any information we receive is subject to the AWS Privacy Notice located at aws.amazon.com/privacy.

2.3. Responsible Behavior. You will not, and will not encourage, assist, or authorize any other person to: (a) incorporate any portion of the Service into your own programs or compile any portion of it in combination with your own programs; (b) use the Service to act in a disruptive manner or with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass another person; (c) sell, lease, distribute, or sublicense the Service or otherwise assign any rights to the Service; (d) modify, tamper with, repair, or otherwise create derivative works of the Service; (e) reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble, tamper with, or bypass any security associated with the Services, whether in whole or in part; or (f) use the Service for any illegal purpose.

2.4. Updates. In order to keep the Service updated, we may offer automatic or manual updates at any time and without notice to you. If we elect to provide maintenance or support of any kind, we may terminate that maintenance or support at any time without notice to you.

2.5. Personally Identifiable Information. Except for your login credentials for certain AWS events, you are not required to input any personally identifiable information about yourself or any other person into the Service. You acknowledge that we may use your personally identifiable information that you submitted to us through an AWS event registration for operation of the Service.

2.6. Third-Party Intellectual Property. You will not input any data into the Service or alter the Service in violation of any third-party intellectual property rights.

3. Changes; Suspension and Termination.

3.1. Changes. We may change, suspend, or discontinue the Service, or any part of it, at any time without notice.

3.2. Suspension and Termination. Your rights under these Terms of Use will automatically terminate without notice if you fail to comply with these Terms of Use. We may terminate these Terms of Use or restrict, suspend, or terminate your use of the Service at our discretion without notice at any time, including if we determine that your use violated these Terms of Use, is improper, substantially exceeds or differs from normal use by other users, or otherwise involves fraud or misuse of the Service or harms our interests or those of another user of the Service. If we terminate your rights under these Terms of Use or we change, suspend, or discontinue the Service, you may be unable to access any information you input into the Service and such information may be deleted.

4. Indemnification.

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us, our affiliates, agents, and licensors, and each of their respective employees, officers, directors, and representatives from and against any damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to any third-party claim concerning: (a) your use of the Service; or (b) your breach of these Terms of Use.

5. Disclaimers.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS,” AND THE CONTENT INCLUDED IN THE SERVICE MAY BE INACCURATE OR OUT OF DATE. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW, OR TO THE EXTENT ANY STATUTORY RIGHTS APPLY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, LIMITED, OR WAIVED, WE AND OUR AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS (A) MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE REGARDING THE SERVICE AND ANY THIRD PARTY CONTENT INCLUDED WITH THE SERVICE; AND (B) DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTIES (I) OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR QUIET ENJOYMENT, (II) ARISING OUT OF ANY COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE, AND (III) THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND REGARDING THE SECURITY, CONFIDENTIALITY, OR PRIVACY OF ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION YOU INPUT INTO THE SERVICE.

6. Limitations of Liability.

WE, OUR AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, CUSTOMERS, OPPORTUNITIES, GOODWILL, OR USE), EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. FURTHER, NEITHER WE NOR ANY OF OUR AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY COMPENSATION, REIMBURSEMENT, OR DAMAGES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH: (A) YOUR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, INCLUDING AS A RESULT OF ANY (I) TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THESE TERMS OF USE OR YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICE, (II) OUR DISCONTINUATION OF ANY OR ALL OF THE SERVICE, OR (III) ANY UNANTICIPATED OR UNSCHEDULED DOWNTIME OF ALL OR A PORTION OF THE SERVICE FOR ANY REASON; (B) THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; (C) ANY INVESTMENTS, EXPENDITURES, OR COMMITMENTS BY YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF USE OR YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICE; OR (D) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO, ALTERATION OF, OR THE DELETION, DESTRUCTION, DAMAGE, LOSS, OR FAILURE TO STORE ANY OF YOUR DATA (INCLUDING DATA YOU INPUT IN ANY EVALUATIONS PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICE OR OTHERWISE THROUGH USE OF THE SERVICE). IN ANY CASE, OUR AND OUR AFFILIATES’ AND LICENSORS’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THESE TERMS OF USE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00).

7. Miscellaneous.

7.1. Use of Third Party Services. When you use the Service, you may also be using the services of one or more third parties, such as a wireless carrier or a mobile software provider. Your use of these third party services may be subject to the separate policies, terms of use, and fees of those third parties.

7.2. Entire Agreement. These Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and AWS regarding the subject matter of these Terms of Use. These Terms of Use supersede all prior or contemporaneous representations, understandings, agreements, or communications between you and AWS, whether written or verbal, regarding the subject matter of these Terms of Use.

7.3. Amendment. We may modify these Terms of Use at any time by posting a revised version in the Service, and the modified terms will become effective upon posting. By continuing to use the Service after the effective date of any modifications to these Terms of Use, you agree to be bound by the modified terms.

7.4. Governing Law. The laws of the State of Washington, without reference to conflict of law rules, govern these Terms of Use and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and us. The United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms of Use.

7.5. Disputes. Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms of Use. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Terms of Use as a court would. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent Corporation Service Company, 300 Deschutes Way SW, Suite 304, Tumwater, WA 98501. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules, which are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. We will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or at a mutually agreed location. We and you agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we and you waive any right to a jury trial. We and you both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

7.6. No Waivers. The failure by us to enforce any provision of these Terms of Use will not constitute a present or future waiver of such provision nor limit our right to enforce such provision at a later time. All waivers by us must be in writing to be effective.

7.7. Survival. Section 4, Section 5, Section 6, and Section 7 will survive any termination of these Terms of Use.

7.8. Severability. If any portion of these Terms of Use is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect. Any invalid or unenforceable portions will be interpreted to effect and intent of the original portion. If such construction is not possible, the invalid or unenforceable portion will be severed from these Terms of Use but the rest of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
