WAYO TERMS OF USE
BASIC CONDITIONS
This is a binding agreement. The following are the terms of use for the mobile app called Wayo (the “App”), which, among other things, enables you and others (each, a “Wayo User”) to discover and share recommendations through their mobile iOS device (each, a “Mobile Device”). Once you have agreed to these Terms of Use, they are a legally binding agreement between you and Wayo, Inc., a Delaware corporation with a business address at 99 Wall Street, #389, New York, NY 10005 (“Wayo, Inc.” or “we”), the owner of the App. These Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent of the law as long as you use the App.
Who you are. The App is for use by people who are physically located in the United States, Mexico, or Canada.
You have a limited license to use the App. You are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, revocable license to download, run and operate the App on your Mobile Device subject to these Terms of Use (the “User License”).
The App may not always be available. Currently, the App is available to Mobile Devices running iOS 13 and higher. We will use reasonable efforts to make the App available at all times. However, the App is provided over the Internet and cellular networks and the quality and availability of the App may be affected by factors outside our reasonable control. We also may restrict, suspend, or block access to the App for maintenance, operational or technical reasons, without prior notice to you.
WHAT YOU MAY NOT DO WITH THE APP
You may not sell, distribute, or modify the App or use the App in any way that:
· Infringes our trademark, copyright, or other proprietary rights.
· Constitutes use other than your personal, non-commercial use.
· Is unlawful, fraudulent, or deceptive or suggests that you are affiliated with or endorsed by another person or company when you are not.
· Encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense or give rise to civil liability.
· Seeks to reverse-engineer the App.
· Violates these Terms of Use in any manner.
HOW WE MAY COMMUNICATE WITH YOU THROUGH THE APP
We may contact you in different ways. We may provide notifications to you via email notice, “push” notifications (“Messages”) on your Mobile Device, or through posting of such notices on the App, as determined by us in our sole discretion.
Make sure you can get our emails. We are not responsible for any automatic filtering you or your network provider may apply to email notifications we send to the email address you provide us. We recommend that you add contact@wayoworld.com to your email address book to help ensure you receive email notifications from us.
If you are under 13, we will not be able to communicate with you, and you will not be able to create an account in the App, unless and until we get consent from your parents, as described in our privacy policy, which you can read here. Everything that we say above about communicating with you assumes that either you are at least 13 years old or that we have obtained consent from your parents to communicate with you.

This obligation will survive termination of this Agreement, which means that even after you stop using the App, you will still be bound.
Privacy. You agree to our privacy policy, which you can read here. The privacy policy explains what personally identifying information and other information is collected through the App, how it is used, and who has access to it.
Governing law. Your use of or access of the App should not be construed as any Wayo Party’s purposefully availing itself of the benefits or privilege of doing business in any province or jurisdiction other than the State of New York. If you have any dispute with us or any other Wayo Party, that dispute will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
Disputes; time limit on claims. We expect Wayo Users to abide by these Terms of Use. We do not anticipate that any disputes will arise as a result of your using the App, and should any issue arise, we believe that we will be able to resolve it. However, in the event that we (which includes any Wayo Party) are not able to resolve a dispute or issue, ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE APP OR ANY PART OF THESE TERMS OF USE, INCLUDING CLAIMS AND DISPUTES THAT AROSE BETWEEN US BEFORE THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THESE TERMS OF USE, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT, AS FOLLOWS:
Linked Sites. The App may link to third-party websites, such as the sites of businesses or advertisers or sites that Wayo Users recommend. We do not endorse or control any third-party sites and we are not and will not be responsible or liable in any way for any information that such sites may provide.
Termination. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to terminate your User License, cancel your account, delete all User Content associated with your account, assist law enforcement in the prosecution of criminal liability, demand that you remove the App from your Mobile Device, and/or assert a civil or criminal legal action on account of your use of the App that we reasonably believe is or might be in violation of these Terms of Use, including but not limited to, a complaint made to us that you have violated our or a third party's intellectual property rights.
Additional Terms. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision or of our right to act with respect to any similar or future right or provision or violation thereof. These Terms of Use operate to the fullest extent permitted by law. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of the Terms of Use invalid, the court should try to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in that provision, and the other provisions of the Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
Changes to Terms of Use. We will use our reasonable best efforts to give you 30 (thirty) days’ notice of any changes to these Terms of Use (unless the law requires or permits us to make a more immediate change) through a notification within the App or by email to the address you provided when you created an account in the App. If we notify you in either of those ways of a change to these Terms of Use, and you continue to use the App after the date on which the change takes effect, you will be bound by the changed Terms of Use.
These Terms of Use were last updated on January 1, 2023.
