Calm Terms of Service

Last Updated: October 13, 2023

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) apply to the products and services of Calm.com, Inc. and our subsidiaries and affiliates (“Calm,” “we,” or “us”), including our websites, social media pages, software applications, and other online services (collectively, the “Services”).

1. Agreement to Terms

Please read these Terms carefully. By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read these Terms, that these Terms govern your use of the Services, and that you agree to them. By agreeing to these Terms, you and Calm will, as described in section 16 below, be required to resolve most disputes with each other solely on an individual basis through arbitration where permitted by applicable law and not with a jury trial or as a class arbitration, class action, or any other kind of representative or court proceeding. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, please do not use the Services.

2. Additional Terms

We may also have different or additional terms in relation to some of the Services. Unless we say otherwise in those terms, those terms supplement and are part of these Terms and will control to the extent there is a conflict with these Terms. Additional terms that apply to some aspects of the Services include but are not limited to the Calm Gift Card Terms and Conditions.

3. Service Use

Eligibility. You must be 16 years or older to use the Services. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may only use the Services if your parent or guardian agrees to our Terms. Please read these Terms with them. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a user under the age of majority where you live, you are subject to these Terms and responsible for your child’s activity on the Services.

Account Registration and Security. To use many of the Services, you must register for an account. You must provide accurate account information, keep this information updated, and maintain the security of your account. Notify us immediately by email at support@calm.com of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. You are responsible for all activities that occur in connection with your account to the extent permitted by applicable law. You agree not to create an account if we have previously removed you or your account from any of the Services, unless we expressly agree otherwise.

4. Subscriptions and Promotional Offers

This section provides terms related to the Services that are only available with a paid subscription (“Calm Premium”).

  1. Recurring Subscriptions. If you purchase a recurring subscription to use Calm Premium (“Recurring Subscriptions”), the subscription will be continuous for the subscription period you select and will automatically renew for another subscription period until canceled. You authorize Calm to automatically charge your designated payment method at the beginning of each subscription period for the then-current price of your Recurring Subscription, along with any applicable taxes and fees specified, unless canceled in accordance with section 4(c). If we are not able to charge your payment method for your Recurring Subscription, you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.

  2. Family Plans. You may also purchase a Recurring Subscription as part of a family plan for access to Calm Premium for you and up to 5 other accounts. You must be at least 18 years old or the age of the majority where you live to serve as the primary account holder for a family plan. A parent or legal guardian must be the primary account holder for any person under 18 years of age that is invited to join a family plan and is responsible for those users’ activities on the Services.

  3. Cancellation. You must cancel your Recurring Subscription at least 24 hours before the end of your current subscription period to avoid being charged for the next subscription period. If you purchased your Recurring Subscription via calm.com, you can cancel at https://calm.com/profile/manage-subscription. If you purchased your Recurring Subscription through a third-party, like an app store, you must cancel the renewal directly with that third-party. Only the primary account holder of a family plan may cancel a family plan subscription. View our support page or contact us by email at support@calm.com if you need assistance with canceling a Recurring Subscription. If you cancel, you are not entitled to a refund for the fees you already paid, but, subject to these Terms, you will continue to receive access to Calm Premium until the end of your current subscription period.

  4. Changes. We may make changes to your Recurring Subscription, including price changes. We will communicate material changes to your Recurring Subscription, including any changes to the price, in advance to the email address associated with your account. If you do not agree to those changes, you can cancel your subscription as described in section 4(c).

  5. Promotional Offers Converting to Recurring Subscriptions. You may be offered a promotional offer in connection with a Recurring Subscription, such as a trial period or initial discount (each a “Promotional Offer”). Additional terms specific to each Promotional Offer we offer will be as described in the particular offer (“Offer Terms”). You must meet all eligibility requirements stated in these Terms and the Offer Terms to enroll in a Promotional Offer. Unless stated otherwise in the Offer Terms, Promotional Offers are only for new customers who have not previously subscribed to Calm Premium or enrolled in a Promotional Offer. If the Offer Terms state that an offer is available only to past subscribers, you must have been a subscriber to Calm Premium and allowed your subscription to expire before the date stated in the Offer Terms. Calm reserves the right, in its discretion, to determine your Promotional Offer eligibility, and to modify or cancel a Promotional Offer at any time. Promotional Offers may only be claimed through calm.com by any advertised expiration date.

    You must provide a valid payment method accepted by us to enroll in a Promotional Offer unless otherwise stated in the Offer Terms. Once your promotional period ends, you authorize Calm to begin billing your designated payment method on a recurring basis at the then-current price for the relevant subscription plus any applicable taxes unless it is canceled in accordance with section 4(c) at least 24 hours prior to the end of the promotional period.

  6. Lifetime Subscriptions. You may purchase a “lifetime” Calm Premium subscription for one account to access Calm Premium for the remaining lifetime of Calm Premium, which may not necessarily be the remainder of your lifetime. The Services may evolve over time and the Calm Premium features available when you enroll in a lifetime subscription may not always be part of Calm Premium. Calm may also launch new Services in the future that are not part of Calm Premium and therefore outside of your lifetime subscription. Any lifetime subscription you purchase is personal to you and may not be transferred, licensed, or sold.

  7. Calm Business Subscription. We may also offer you the ability to access Calm Premium through a Calm Business subscription, which may be provided as part of an agreement between Calm and your employer, health plan, or another entity. To receive access to Calm Premium through a Calm Business subscription, you must follow the instructions provided by your organization pursuant to the terms of its agreement with Calm. Your ability to access and use Calm Premium through a Calm Business subscription may be subject to additional terms between you and your organization. Once your eligibility under the Calm Business subscription expires, your right to use Calm Premium as part of that subscription will automatically terminate.

5. Other Payments Terms

  1. Payment Method. If you purchase a subscription, gift card, or other item through the Services, you must provide an accurate and up-to-date payment method acceptable by us. You authorize Calm to charge any purchase to your designated payment method, including the then-current price plus any applicable taxes and fees specified. No transaction is binding on Calm until accepted and confirmed by Calm. We may update your stored payment method using information provided by our payment service providers. Following any update, you authorize us to continue to charge the applicable payment method(s). You are responsible for any additional charges that your payment method provider charges.

  2. Cancellations and Disputes. If you have any concerns regarding any transactions through the Services, you must raise them with us first and not cancel or reverse charges through your payment method provider unless you have made a reasonable attempt to resolve the matter directly with us or otherwise as provided by applicable law. Calm reserves the right to verify your identity or request more information in connection with your purchases, and not to process or to cancel purchase requests, including if we suspect fraud or if your payment method is declined.

  3. Refunds. You will not have the right to receive a refund for any amounts paid to us unless otherwise required by applicable law.

  4. Future Functionality. Your purchases are not contingent on the delivery of any current or future functionality, content, or features, or dependent on any oral or written public comments made by Calm regarding such functionality or features.

We have the right to investigate violations of these Terms or conduct that affects the Services. We may also consult and cooperate with law enforcement authorities to prosecute users who violate the law. In addition, this section does not create any private right of action on the part of any third-party or any reasonable expectation that the Services will not contain any User Content that is prohibited by such rules.

Calm’s trademarks, including but not limited to CALM, CALM HEALTH, CALM KIDS, CALM MASTERCLASS, CALM STUDIOS, CAP’N DREAMBEARD, DAILY CALM, FIND YOUR CALM, MR.

The absence of a trademark from this list does not constitute a waiver of Calm’s trademark or other intellectual property rights concerning that trademark. All third-party trademarks mentioned on the Services are the property of their respective owners. Reference to any products, services, processes, or other information by trade name, trademark, manufacturer, supplier, or otherwise does not constitute or imply endorsement, sponsorship, or recommendation by Calm.

We may terminate your Calm Business subscription if you are no longer eligible for a Calm Business subscription based on the terms of our agreement with your organization. We may terminate your Calm Premium subscription if your Calm Premium subscription was obtained through a third-party promotion and you no longer meet the eligibility requirements for that offer.

You may cancel your account at any time by sending an email to us at support@calm.com, although you will still have to cancel any active subscriptions as stated in section 4(c).

Upon any termination, discontinuation, or cancellation of the Services or your account, all provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive will survive, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution provisions.

12. Warranty Disclaimers

Your use of the Services is at your sole risk. Except as otherwise provided in writing by us and to the extent permitted by applicable laws, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Without limiting the foregoing, we explicitly disclaim any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations on applicable statutory rights of a consumer, so the exclusion and limitations in this section may not apply to you.

We make no representation or warranty that the Services will meet your requirements or be available on an uninterrupted or error-free basis. We make no warranty regarding the quality, accuracy, timeliness, truthfulness, completeness, or reliability of any of the Services. You assume the entire risk as to the quality and performance of the Services to the extent permitted by applicable law.

13. Medical Disclaimers

  1. the Services are provided for informational purposes only and are not intended, designed, or implied to diagnose, prevent, or treat any condition or disease, or to be a substitute for professional medical care;

  2. Calm is not a licensed medical care provider and does not engage in, and has no expertise in, diagnosing, examining, or treating medical conditions of any kind, or in prescribing treatments or determining the effect of any specific treatment on a medical condition;

  3. Calm does not provide emergency services and is not obligated to contact you or anyone on your behalf with respect to your medical condition or treatment;

  4. Calm is not responsible for the accuracy, reliability, effectiveness, or correct use of any of the Services;

  5. You should always consult a medical professional if you have any questions regarding a medical condition; and

  6. You should never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read or received using the Services.

Not all activities described as part of the Services are suitable for everyone. Do not use the Services while driving, operating heavy machinery, or performing other tasks that require attention and concentration. You are solely responsible for your use of the Services.

14. Indemnity

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Calm and its officers, directors, partners, employees, and agents (individually and collectively, the “Calm Parties”), from and against any claims, disputes, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees (“Claims”), arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your access to or use of the Services; (b) your User Content or feedback; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation, misappropriation, or infringement of any rights of another (including intellectual property rights or privacy rights); or (e) your conduct in connection with the Services.

You will promptly notify the Calm Parties of any third-party Claims, cooperate with the Calm Parties in defending such Claims, and pay all fees, costs, and expenses associated with defending such Claims (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees). You also agree that the Calm Parties will have control of the defense or settlement, at Calm’s sole option, of any third-party Claims. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written agreement between you and Calm or the other Calm Parties.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither Calm nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Services will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, lost profits, loss of data or goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure, or the cost of substitute Services arising out of or in connection with these Terms or from the use of or inability to use the Services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability, or any other legal theory, and whether or not Calm has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

Unless such limits are prohibited by applicable law, in no event will Calm’s total liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms or from the use of or inability to use the Services exceed the greater of: (a) the amounts you have paid to Calm for use of the Services; or (b) fifty U.S. dollars (US$50). The exclusion and limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between Calm and you.

16. Agreement to Arbitrate

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE, UNLESS YOU OPT OUT, IT REQUIRES YOU AND CALM TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH WE CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER. ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU AND CALM FROM SUING IN COURT. YOU AND CALM AGREE THAT ARBITRATION WILL BE SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION, OR ANY OTHER KIND OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

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, including any claims related to privacy or data security (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right: (a) to bring an individual action in small claims court; and (b) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction, including to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. For clarity, subject to the terms of this section 16, this agreement to arbitrate applies to Disputes based on events or activities that occurred prior to Last Updated date indicated at the top of these Terms.

Without limiting the preceding sentence, you have the right to opt out of binding arbitration by providing Calm with written notice of your desire to do so by email at notices@calm.com within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms (such notice, an “Arbitration Opt-out Notice”). In order to be effective, the Arbitration Opt-out Notice must include your full name, and mailing address, and email address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with section 17.

These Terms affect interstate commerce, and the enforceability of this section 16 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., to the extent permitted by law.

  1. Initiating an Arbitration

    Before either party brings an arbitration action, it will first attempt to resolve the Dispute informally via the following process.

    If you assert a Dispute against Calm, you will first contact Calm by sending a written notice of your Dispute to Calm by certified mail addressed to Calm.com, Inc. c/o Corporation Trust Center, 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, DE 19801 or by email to notices@calm.com. Your notice must (i) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Calm asserts a Dispute against you, Calm will first contact you by sending a written notice of Calm’s Dispute to you via email to the primary email address associated with your account. Calm’s notice must (i) include the name of a Calm contact and the contact’s email address and telephone number; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought. Each such notice described in this paragraph, whether sent by you or Calm (a “Notice”).

    If you and Calm cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after you or Calm receives such a Notice, then either party may submit the Dispute to binding arbitration as set forth below. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for thirty (30) days from the date that either you or Calm first send the applicable Notice, so that the parties can engage in this informal dispute-resolution process.

  2. Arbitration Rules

    The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be resolved through binding arbitration before one arbitrator. If you are a consumer, the then-current version of the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) will apply, which are available on the AAA’s website (adr.org). The applicable arbitration rules are amended by these Terms as follows:

    (i) YOU AND CALM AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU AND CALM ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and, except as described below for the additional procedures to govern if twenty-five (25) or more similar or coordinated Disputes are asserted against Calm or you by the same or coordinated counsel, may not consolidate more than one individual’s Disputes, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding, or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.

    (ii) For any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the consumer filing fee and Calm will pay the remaining AAA fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Calm, Calm will pay all AAA fees and costs.

    (iii) For all arbitrations where the Disputes asserted are for $25,000 or less, the arbitration shall be resolved according to the AAA’s Procedures for the Resolution of Disputes through Document Submission, and for all other arbitrations the following procedure will apply: (A) the arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate; (B) any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances, and (C) if the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator.

    (iv) If you or Calm submits a dispute to arbitration and the arbitrator orders any exchange of information, you and Calm agree to cooperate to seek from the arbitrator protection for any confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or otherwise sensitive information, documents, testimony, or other materials that might be exchanged or the subject of discovery in the arbitration. You and Calm agree to seek such protection before any such information, documents, testimony, or materials are exchanged or otherwise become the subject of discovery in the arbitration. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability.

    (v) The arbitrator’s decision will follow these Terms and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual Dispute before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.

    (vi) The AAA Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings and the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule will apply if twenty-five (25) or more similar Disputes are asserted against Calm or against you by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated (such Disputes, “Coordinated Disputes”). In addition to the application of the AAA Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings and the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule, you and Calm understand and agree that Coordinated Disputes may delay resolution of your or Calm’s Dispute.

  3. Enforceability

    If any portion of this section 16 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, including but not limited to because it is found to be unconscionable, (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms; (ii) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this section 16 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining Disputes on an individual basis pursuant to this section 16; and (iii) to the extent that any Disputes must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such Disputes must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The litigation of those Disputes will be stayed (and statutes of limitations tolled) pending the outcome of any individual Disputes in arbitration. Further, if any part of this section 16 is found to prohibit an individual Dispute seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this section 16 will be enforceable.

  4. Changes Notwithstanding the provisions of section 19, if Calm changes this section 16 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 notices@calm.com) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of Calm’s email to you notifying you of such change. In order to be effective, the rejection notice must include your full name, mailing address, and email address and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes made to this section 16. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Calm in accordance with the provisions of the Terms you previously agreed to. If the Terms are otherwise modified, without changing this section 16, you agree that modification will not create a new right to opt out of arbitration.

17. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. If any Dispute is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court, then the state and federal courts located in the Northern District of California will have exclusive jurisdiction. You and Calm waive any objection to venue in any such courts.

18. Modifying and Terminating the Services

23. iOS Minimum Terms for Custom EULA

The following provisions apply if you are accessing or using our mobile app on an Apple Inc. (“Apple”) branded mobile device. These Terms, including this section, constitute a custom EULA for any Calm mobile app for purposes of Apple’s agreements and you acknowledge that Apple’s standard EULA will not apply.

  1. Acknowledgement. The Terms are concluded between Calm and you only, and not with Apple, and, as between Apple and us, we are solely responsible for our app and the content thereof.

  2. Scope of License. The license granted to you for our app under section 6 of the Terms is limited to a non-transferable license to use our app on any Apple-branded products that you own or control and as permitted by our Apple Usage Rules set forth in the app Store Terms of Service, except that our app may be accessed, acquired, and used by other accounts associated with the purchaser via “Family Sharing” or volume purchasing.

  3. Maintenance. We are not obligated to provide any support or maintenance services for our app except as required by law. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to our app.

  4. Warranty. We are solely responsible for any warranties, whether express or implied by law to the effect not effectively disclaimed under section 12 of the Terms. In the event of any failure of our app to conform to any applicable warranty not effectively disclaimed under section 12, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for our app; and you agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to our app, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be our sole responsibility.

  6. IP Claims. Subject to section 15 of the Terms, in the event of any third-party claim that our app or your possession and use of our app infringes any third-party’s intellectual property rights, we, and not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.

  7. Legal Compliance. You represent and warrant that you (i) are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

  8. Name and Address. If you have any questions, complaints, or claims with respect to our app, they should be directed to us as specified in section 22.

Global Addendum

1. Rights that Cannot be Excluded

If you are located in a country which provides consumer guarantees or imposes obligations on us which cannot be excluded, restricted, or modified, or only to a limited extent, then nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude, restrict, or modify such mandatory guarantees or obligations. For instance, if you are in Australia, these Terms are subject to the Australian Consumer Law, as set out in Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).

2. Modifying and Terminating the Services

If we make a change or discontinue a Service that unreasonably disadvantages you or otherwise significantly disturbs the contractual balance between the parties, including changes to the essential characteristics of the Service, you can object by terminating your account and/or Recurring Subscription. If you terminate your Recurring Subscription in those cases, you may be entitled to receive a pro rata refund of amounts you have paid for the unused portion of your terminated Recurring Subscription.

Subject to the above, if you are located in Australia and terminate your Recurring Subscription in these cases, you will be entitled to a pro rata refund of the amounts you have paid for the unused portion of your terminated Recurring Subscription.

3. Governing Law

If you are an individual consumer who is located in a jurisdiction that: (i) requires consumer contracts or consumer disputes to be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where you are located or (ii) prohibits consumer contracts or consumer disputes from being subject to an exclusive jurisdiction which is not the jurisdiction where you are located, these Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws, and subject to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts, of the jurisdiction where you are located, to the extent required by local law.

Notwithstanding section 16 but subject to the above, if you are located in India and any Dispute cannot be subject to arbitration, courts in Bangalore shall have exclusive jurisdiction over such Dispute.

4. Alternative Indemnity

If you are located in Australia, section 13 of the Terms will not apply to you, and this Alternative Indemnity section will apply instead.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Calm and its officers, directors, partners, employee, and agents (individually and collectively, the “Calm Parties”), from and against any claims, disputes, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees (“Claims”), arising out of or in any way connected with your violation, misappropriation or infringement of any rights of another (including intellectual property rights or privacy rights).

You will promptly notify the Calm Parties of any third-party Claims, cooperate with the Calm Parties in defending such Claims, and pay all fees, costs, and expenses associated with defending such Claims (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees). You also agree that the Calm Parties will have control of the defense or settlement, at Calm’s sole option, of any third-party Claims. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written agreement between you and Calm or the other Calm Parties.

5. Alternative to Arbitration

Section 16 of the Terms will not apply to you if you are located in Canada or another jurisdiction outside of the U.S. where its arbitration and class action waiver provisions are prohibited by applicable law or otherwise not enforceable. If you are located in such a jurisdiction, this Alternative to Arbitration section will apply to Disputes instead.

The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any claim not otherwise subject to arbitration under section 16 of the terms will be the state and federal courts located in the Northern District of California and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts; provided, however, that if you are located in a jurisdiction that prohibits the application of California law in a consumer contract or prohibits consumer contracts from being subject to an exclusive jurisdiction which is not the jurisdiction where you are located, the non-exclusive venue of any claim will be in the courts of your jurisdiction of residence.

6. Language

These full Terms are available in French if you set your language settings to French. You acknowledge and agree that you have been presented with the full French version of these Terms and to the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that the controlling language for these Terms is English.

7. Contracts Rights of Third-Parties for Users in Singapore

If you are located in Singapore, a person who is not a party to the Terms shall have no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act (Cap. 53B) of Singapore (as may be amended from time to time) to enforce any of the Terms.

8. Termination for Users in South Korea

If you are located in South Korea and under 19 years of age (the age of legal majority in South Korea), either you or your legal representative may cancel your account in accordance with section 11 above.
