Terms of Service

Last updated: July 14, 2026

These are the Terms of Service (the "Terms of Service" or "TOS") that govern Expo LLC's ("Expo" or "we," "us," or "our") relationship with Users (defined below), as well as Expo brands, the Expo website located at www.heyexpo.com (the "Site"), the mobile application (the "Expo App" or "Application"), and other existing and future products and services owned, operated, or offered by Expo (together with the Site and the Expo App, each a "Service" and collectively the "Expo Services" or "Services").

Please read these Terms of Service carefully. By accessing or using our Services or otherwise manifesting your assent to these Terms of Service, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy, which are incorporated herein by this reference.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change these Terms of Service. If we make a material change, we will provide reasonable advance notice by email or through an in-app or on-Site notice, and will publish the revised Terms of Service with a new "Last Updated" date at the top. Material changes will take effect no earlier than the date stated in that notice. Continued access to and use of the Services after the effective date of any change (which includes using our Services to distribute or publish your recipes or other content, as applicable) means you accept and will abide by the changes. If you do not agree to a change, you must stop using the Services and may terminate your account as described in Section 26.

1. Supplemental Terms

Because Expo provides a wide range of Services, we may ask you to review and accept supplemental terms that apply to your interaction with a specific aspect of the Services. To the extent those supplemental terms conflict with these TOS, the supplemental terms associated with the specific aspect of the Services will govern with respect to your use of such Services.

2. Description and Use of the Services

We provide Visitors, Registered Users, Subscribers, and Content Partners (each defined below) with access to the Services as described below.

• Visitors. Visitors are individuals who access the publicly available portions of the Services without registering for fee-based Services ("Visitors"). No login is required for Visitors.
• Registered Users. Registered Users can do all the things that Visitors can do, and can also receive tailored recipes, meal content, and other personalized content through the Services. Registered Users do not pay a fee, except as otherwise provided below.
• Subscribers. Subscribers are Registered Users who have also subscribed to Expo Premium (defined below) ("Subscribers").
• Content Partners. Content Partners are Registered Users who may submit recipes, cookbooks, meal plans, and blog entries to Expo to display on the Services ("Content Partners"). Visitors, Registered Users, Subscribers, Content Partners, and any other person who interacts with the Services are collectively referred to herein as "Users," "you," or "your."

3. Eligibility

You must be able to form a binding agreement (in most jurisdictions, 18 years old) on your own behalf, or on your entity's or household's behalf, to be eligible to use the Expo Services. You may use the Expo Services only (a) in compliance with these TOS and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules, and regulations, and (b) if you are not a person barred from receiving the Services under the laws of any country, including the country in which you are a resident or from which you are using the Services. Individuals under the age of 18, or the applicable age of majority, may use the Services only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian, under such person's account and otherwise subject to these Terms of Service.

The Services are not directed to children under 13, and use of the Services by anyone under 13 is prohibited. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete it.

If you open an account on behalf of a company, organization, household, or other entity, then (a) "you" includes you and that entity, and (b) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to these Terms of Service, and that you agree to these Terms of Service on the entity's behalf.

We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to deny you access to the Services, or any portion of the Services, without notice and without reason.

4. Account and Registration Rules

You are not required to register with us to access Expo's basic Services. However, if you would like to receive tailored content, subscribe to Expo Premium, or become a Content Partner, you must register with us. Expo is under no obligation to accept any individual or entity as an account holder and may accept or reject any registration in our sole and complete discretion. To register with us, you may log in to the Services using your email address, Apple ID, Facebook, or Google account. If you do not wish to log in using these third-party access credentials, you will be prompted to create an account, which includes providing a display name and password, and perhaps certain additional information that will assist in authenticating your identity when you log in in the future (collectively, "Login Credentials"). When registering with Expo, you agree to the following:

• As the person (whether as an individual or on behalf of an entity) who created the account, you are deemed to have access to and control over the account and are responsible for any activity that occurs through the account.
• When creating your account, you must provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself. You will not provide any false personal information on Expo, or create an account for anyone other than yourself or your entity without permission.
• You will not create more than one personal or entity account without our permission.
• If we disable your account, you will not create another one without our permission.
• You will update your contact information thereafter as necessary.
• You will not let unauthorized persons access your account, or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your account. You will promptly notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or any other breach of the security of your account.
• You will not transfer your account to any person or entity without first getting our written permission.
• If you select a username or similar identifier for your account, we reserve the right to remove or reclaim it if we believe it is inappropriate.
• You are solely responsible for any person's or entity's use of the Expo App or the Services using your account.

5. Expo Premium

To access Expo's premium Services ("Expo Premium"), which includes featured recipes, meal plans, and cookbooks, you are required to register for a subscription with Expo ("Subscription"). You can choose a monthly or yearly Subscription. The fees for each Subscription are specified on the Subscription page.

5.1 Automatic Renewal and Billing

Subscriptions are sold and billed through the Apple App Store using Apple's in-app purchase. Billing occurs at the beginning of the Subscription cycle and provides access for one month or one year thereafter, as applicable depending on the Subscription package purchased.

YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW. Unless you cancel before the end of the then-current billing cycle, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, your Subscription will automatically renew on a month-to-month or yearly basis, as applicable, at the then-current Subscription rate. By purchasing a Subscription, you acknowledge that your Subscription has an initial and recurring payment charge at the then-current Subscription rate, and you agree that the applicable platform may charge your chosen payment method on a recurring monthly or yearly basis, as applicable, in advance, until you cancel.

You may cancel at any time through your Apple App Store subscription settings, or by emailing us at support@heyexpo.com. You accept responsibility for all recurring charges incurred prior to cancellation.

5.2 Notice of Price or Term Changes

If the price or length of your Subscription term changes, we will notify you in advance as required by applicable law (including California's Automatic Renewal Law), and the change will take effect only on a renewal occurring after that notice. If you do not agree to the change, you may cancel before the renewal takes effect.

5.3 Cancellation or Termination of Subscription

You may change or terminate your Subscription through your Apple App Store subscription settings, or by emailing us at support@heyexpo.com. If you terminate your Subscription, you may use it until the end of the then-current billing cycle, and the Subscription will not renew after that period expires. Except where required by applicable law, Expo does not refund any pre-paid portion of the Subscription fee. Expo may terminate or suspend your Subscription in accordance with these Terms of Service. If we terminate or suspend your Subscription, your license to use any software or content provided in connection with the Subscription is also terminated or suspended, as applicable.

5.4 Payment

You agree to pay the monthly or yearly fee, as applicable, specified when you purchased your Subscription (plus any applicable taxes and other charges). Subscription payments are processed by Apple through the App Store in accordance with Apple's terms; Expo does not receive or store your payment card details. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use any payment method you provide. You agree to provide updated payment information upon request and any time the information you previously provided is no longer valid. You acknowledge and agree that neither Expo nor any Expo agent will have any liability whatsoever for any insufficient-funds or other charges incurred by you as a result of billing attempts as contemplated by these Terms of Service.

5.5 Third-Party Payment Processors

We use third-party payment processors (such as Apple and RevenueCat), as applicable, to process and manage your payments, as more fully described in the Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to correct, or to instruct our payment processors to correct, any errors or mistakes, even if payment has already been requested or received.

6. Mobile Service

If you are using the Expo App, you are responsible for any fees, including data, access, and usage fees charged by an internet provider or mobile carrier, that you incur when accessing the Services.

7. User Content

The Services enable (i) Content Partners to submit content such as recipes, images, blog posts, videos, and audio to Expo to upload or transmit through the Services, and (ii) all Registered Users to post messages, comments, likes, and other communications to the Services (collectively, the "User Content").

You own all of your User Content. By providing User Content to our Services, you represent and warrant that:

• You own the rights or licenses to your User Content. You own, or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to use and authorize Expo to use, all patent, trademark, copyright, or other proprietary rights in and to any and all User Content to enable inclusion and use of User Content in the manner contemplated under these Terms of Service, and to grant the rights and license set forth in this Section.
• Your User Content does not infringe third-party rights or violate laws. Your User Content, Expo's use of such User Content pursuant to these Terms of Service, and Expo's exercise of the license rights set forth in this Section do not and will not: (A) infringe, violate, or misappropriate any third-party right, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right; (B) slander, defame, libel, or invade the right of privacy, publicity, or other property rights of any other person; or (C) violate any applicable law or regulation.
• No payment needed. No payment to any other person or entity is needed to use, and to authorize us to use, your User Content in all manners contemplated by these Terms of Service (including the User Content License set forth below).
• Protection and enforcement of your User Content. Any protection and enforcement of any intellectual property rights that exist or pertain to the User Content are entirely your responsibility, and Expo is not obligated to protect or enforce the User Content on your behalf.

8. User Content License

You grant to Expo a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license, under all copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, privacy and publicity rights, and other intellectual property rights you own or control, to use, copy, reproduce, transmit, perform, display, exhibit, distribute, index, comment on, adapt, modify, translate, digitize, reformat, create derivative works based upon, and otherwise exploit your User Content, in whole or in part, alone or in combination with other content or material, in all media formats and channels now known or hereafter devised (including, by way of example but not limitation, the internet, mobile devices, and any future means or methods of downloading and/or transmission now known or hereafter devised) in connection with the Expo Services (the "User Content License"). You grant Expo the right to use your name and the Expo display name that you submit in connection with such User Content, to the extent applicable. You also agree to irrevocably waive (and cause to be waived) any claims and assertions of moral rights or attribution with respect to your User Content. You also hereby grant to each user of the Services a non-exclusive license to access your User Content through the Services, and to use, reproduce, distribute, modify, adapt, translate, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform such User Content as permitted by the functionality of the Services and these Terms of Service.

9. Confirmation of Rights Granted

You agree to execute any documents and take any actions we may reasonably request, solely to confirm or perfect the grant of the rights, consents, licenses, and waivers set forth in these Terms of Service. If you fail to do so within a reasonable period after our request, you authorize Expo to act as your agent solely for the limited purpose of executing such documents to confirm the rights expressly granted under these Terms of Service, and for no other purpose.

10. Personal Release

As a Content Partner, you understand that Expo wishes to obtain the right to use your name, user name, image, picture, photograph, likeness, voice, performance, and/or other personal identification provided by you to Expo, whether as part of your User Content or otherwise (collectively, the "Material"), on videotape, film, or any other visual medium for use in connection with promoting Expo and the Services (the "Promotion"). As such, Content Partner grants Expo and our subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, nominees, licensees, successors, and assigns, and those acting with our authority ("Affiliates"), the unrestricted, absolute, perpetual, worldwide right to record, reproduce, copy, edit, add to, subtract from, modify, use, reuse, display, perform, exhibit, distribute, transmit, exploit, and/or broadcast the Material, without limitation, in and in connection with the Promotion in any manner, in whole or in part, alone or in combination with any other images or videos, in any media now known or hereafter devised. Such use may also include advertising and promotion in any manner or media in connection with the Promotion.

Content Partner agrees that Expo has no obligation to use any of the Material, or to exercise any right granted herein, and that Content Partner may not enjoin any exploitation of the Promotion as provided above. If Expo uses Material for Promotion, Content Partner acknowledges that its right to access and use the Services as granted in these Terms of Service shall be the sole compensation and consideration for the rights Content Partner is granting in and to the Material. Content Partner shall not be entitled to any additional compensation hereunder, including, but not limited to, in the event Expo commercializes the Material or the Promotion.

Content Partner hereby unconditionally and forever releases Expo and our Affiliates from any and all liability, claims, or actions that arise from the use of the Material, or that Content Partner or Content Partner's heirs, executors, administrators, or assigns may have or claim to have in connection with the use of the Material as described herein, and Content Partner agrees not to sue or bring any proceeding against any of those parties for any claim or cause of action, whether presently known or unknown, including, but not limited to, an action for defamation, invasion of Content Partner's rights to privacy, publicity, or personality, or any similar matter, or based upon or relating to the exercise of any of the rights referred to herein.

Waiver of California Civil Code § 1542. With respect to the release in this Section 10, if you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code § 1542, which states: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY."

11. Ownership of Service and Expo Content

All content, or derivative works therefrom, that you see using the Expo Services, unless submitted by you, are owned or licensed by Expo or third parties. Your use of the Services does not give you ownership of that content. You agree that the Services contain content specifically provided by Expo, its business partners, and other Expo users (the "Expo Content" or "Content"), and that such Expo Content is protected (individually or as a collective work or compilation) by copyrights, trademarks, service marks, patents, trade secrets, or other proprietary rights and laws, U.S. and international. The elements of the Expo Content include, without limitation, the user interface, interactive features, button icons, content, software, code, data, art, graphics, animation, videos, images, text, music, sound effects, all audio and audiovisual elements, look-and-feel, design, layout, organization, presentation, navigation, compilation, trade dress, and stylistic convention of the Services, and other materials you may view on or access through the Services. Your use of the Services does not give you ownership of any Expo Content.

12. Use of Expo Content

You do not have rights to use Expo Content, or derivative works therefrom, in any manner other than those explicitly authorized under these TOS. You shall not sell, license, rent, modify, distribute, copy, reproduce, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, publish, adapt, edit, create derivative works from, or otherwise exploit any Expo Content or third-party submissions or other proprietary rights not owned by you (i) without the consent of the respective owners or other valid right, or (ii) in any way that violates any third-party right. Subject to your complete and ongoing compliance with these TOS, Expo hereby grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable right and license to access and use the Services for your personal, non-commercial use solely during the term of these TOS and solely in strict compliance with the provisions of these TOS. You will not remove any proprietary-notice language corresponding to the Services.

13. Trademarks

Your use of the Services does not grant you any license or right to use trademarks owned by Expo or third parties unless authorized under these TOS. All trademarks, logos, service marks, trade names, and trade dress, which include "EXPO" and the ladle logo (collectively, the "Trademarks") displayed on the Services or on Expo Content, are registered or unregistered trademarks of Expo, its business partners, and/or others, and may not be used unless authorized by the Trademark owner. Nothing contained on the Services should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any Trademark displayed on the Services.

14. User Submissions

When you submit ideas to Expo, we are not obligated to use your ideas, nor are we obligated to compensate you if we use your ideas, nor are we obligated to keep your ideas confidential. You may choose to, or we may invite you to, submit comments or ideas about the Expo Services ("User Submission"). By submitting any User Submission, you agree that your disclosure is gratuitous, unsolicited, and without restriction and will not place Expo under any fiduciary or other obligation, and that you grant to Expo an irrevocable, worldwide, perpetual, and royalty-free license to use, incorporate, modify, improve upon, and create derivative works of the User Submission and all intellectual property and moral rights therein without any additional compensation to you, and/or to disclose the User Submission on a non-confidential basis or otherwise to anyone. You further acknowledge that, by accepting your submission, Expo does not waive any rights to use similar or related ideas previously known to Expo, developed by its employees, or obtained from sources other than you.

15. Prohibited User Conduct

Zero Tolerance. Expo has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. If you post objectionable content (including the content prohibited below) or behave abusively toward other users, Expo may remove the content and suspend or terminate your account, in our sole discretion and without notice. You can report objectionable content or block another user at any time within the Expo App, or by emailing support@heyexpo.com. We review reports and act on them, typically within 24 hours.

As used herein, "Harmful Code" means computer code, programs, or programming devices that are intentionally designed to disrupt, modify, access, delete, damage, deactivate, disable, harm, or otherwise impede, in any manner, including aesthetic disruptions or distortions, the operation of the Services, or any other associated software, firmware, hardware, computer system, or network (including, without limitation, "Trojan horses," "viruses," "worms," "time bombs," "time locks," "devices," "traps," "access codes," or "drop dead" or "trap door" devices), or any other harmful, malicious, or hidden procedures, routines, or mechanisms that would cause the Services to cease functioning or to damage or corrupt data, storage media, programs, equipment, or communications, or otherwise interfere with the operations of the Services.

If an account is posting objectionable content listed above, please report the account by emailing support@heyexpo.com. To unblock someone, please email support@heyexpo.com.

16. Monitoring

You alone are responsible for the consequences of any of your activities while visiting or using the Services. Expo has no obligation to monitor your access to or use of the Services but has the right to do so for the purpose of operating the Services, to ensure your compliance with these Terms of Service, or to comply with applicable law or the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body.

17. DMCA Copyright Policy

Expo respects copyright law and expects its users to do the same. It is Expo's policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, account holders who repeatedly infringe or are believed to be repeatedly infringing the rights of copyright holders.

Notice of Infringement. If you believe that any content on the Services infringes a copyright you own or control, you may submit a written notice to our designated copyright agent that includes: (a) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or person authorized to act on its behalf; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; (c) identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it; (d) your contact information (name, address, telephone, email); (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Designated Copyright Agent:
Copyright Agent, Expo LLC
2261 Market St
San Francisco, CA 94114-1612
United States
Email: support@heyexpo.com

Counter-Notice. If you believe your content was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notice to the agent above containing the information required under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). We will respond to valid notices and counter-notices in accordance with the DMCA.

18. Links or Services from Third-Party Sites

The Services may contain links to, or services from, third parties, such as third-party websites, applications, or ads ("Third-Party Links"). We will not warn you that you have left the Services when you click on such a link. Expo does not control and is not responsible for Third-Party Links. Expo provides these third-party services only as a convenience and does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to them, or any content, products, or services accessible through such links. Your use of all Third-Party Links is at your own risk. Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of these services for a better understanding of their practices.

YouTube API Services. The Services may use YouTube API Services. By using those features, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service and acknowledge that information collected through YouTube API Services is handled in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy.

Grocery ordering (Kroger). The Services may let you connect a third-party grocery account (such as Kroger) to find nearby stores and add ingredients from your shopping list to that provider's cart. Connecting a grocery account is optional. When you use this feature, your interaction with the grocery provider — including account authorization, product matching, pricing, availability, cart contents, checkout, payment, and fulfillment — is governed by that provider's own terms of service and privacy policy, and takes place between you and the provider. Expo does not control and is not responsible for the grocery provider's products, prices, substitutions, availability, or fulfillment, and the ingredients or products matched may differ from those in your recipe. Your use of this feature is at your own risk, and you are encouraged to review the grocery provider's terms and privacy policy.

19. Agreement Not With the App Store

You acknowledge and agree that the availability of the Expo App is dependent on the third party from which you received the Expo App—the Apple App Store (the "App Store"). When you download the Expo App through the App Store, you agree that: (i) these Terms of Service are concluded between you and Expo and not between you and the App Store, and that we (not the App Store) are responsible for our software; (ii) the App Store has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with regard to the Expo App or to handle any warranty claims; (iii) the App Store is not responsible for addressing any claims you have, or any claims of any third party relating to the Expo App, such as product liability, consumer protection claims, intellectual property claims, or any claim that the Expo App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; (iv) the App Store is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms of Service as related to your license of the Expo App, and the App Store will have the right to enforce these Terms of Service as related to your license of the Expo App against you; and (v) you must also comply with all applicable App Store terms of service when using the Expo App.

20. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Expo and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensees, sponsors, advertisers, and representatives of any of them (individually or collectively, the "Expo Indemnified Party") from any and all claims, losses, obligations, damages, liabilities, costs, debt, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising out of (i) your use or misuse of the Services or the Expo App; (ii) your violation of these Terms of Service; and (iii) your User Content on the Expo Services. The Expo Indemnified Parties reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify the Expo Indemnified Parties, and you agree to cooperate with the Expo Indemnified Parties' defense of these claims. You agree not to settle any matter giving rise to your indemnification obligations without the prior written consent of each Expo Indemnified Party. Expo will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding upon becoming aware of it, provided that failure by the Expo Indemnified Party to give prompt notice will not relieve you of any liability hereunder.

21. Disclaimer of Warranties

We try to keep the Expo Services up, bug-free, and safe, but you use them at your own risk. We provide the Expo Services "as is" without any express or implied warranties, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee that the Expo Services will always be safe, secure, or error-free, that Expo will always function without disruptions, delays, or imperfections, or that the quality of any products, services, information, or other material purchased or obtained by you through the Services will meet your expectations. Expo assumes no responsibility for the deletion, misdelivery, or failure to store any content, user communications, or personalization settings, such as the cookbook feature. Expo makes no representation or warranty regarding the accuracy, timeliness, truthfulness, completeness, or reliability of any Expo Content provided through the Services, any information, goods, or services promoted or displayed through the Services, or any transactions entered into through the Services. The Expo Content, including the recipes and all related information and commentary made available through the Services, is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be (and does not constitute) dietary, nutritional, medical, or food-safety advice or recommendations specifically for you, and no advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from Expo or through the Services, will create any warranty not expressly made herein. You are solely responsible for all of your communications and interactions with other Users of the Services and with other persons with whom you communicate or interact as a result of your use of the Services.

AI-Generated Content. Some Expo Content is generated or personalized using artificial intelligence and machine-learning systems, including recipes, recipe images, meal suggestions, and voice-assistant guidance. You acknowledge that AI-generated content may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or unsuitable for your circumstances; may misstate ingredients, quantities, cooking times, temperatures, or nutritional or allergen information; and that AI-generated images are illustrative only and may not depict the actual dish, its ingredients, or its safety. Expo does not independently verify AI-generated content and makes no warranty that any recipe, ingredient, substitution, or instruction is accurate, complete, or safe for you. You are solely responsible for evaluating recipes before relying on them, for checking ingredients and allergens, and for safe food handling, storage, and preparation (including cooking foods to safe internal temperatures), and you must determine whether any recipe is appropriate for your health, allergies, and dietary needs. The Expo Content is not medical, nutritional, or dietary advice; consult a qualified professional about any medical, allergy, or dietary concern. Expo and its service providers may process your User Content and activity to operate, improve, and personalize the Services (for example, to generate recipes and build your taste profile); how your information is used is described in our Privacy Policy.

22. Voice Features

The Expo App may offer a voice input feature that allows you to interact with the Services by speaking. When you use this feature, your speech is transcribed to text on your device, and only the resulting text—not an audio recording of your voice—is transmitted to and processed by Expo.

Any communication you submit to Expo through the voice feature will be treated by Expo as authorized by you, and you are solely responsible for all interactions with the Services made through the voice feature. Voice transcription may be inaccurate, and Expo is not responsible for errors in transcription or for actions taken based on misrecognized input. The on-device speech-to-text functionality may be provided by your device or operating system and may be governed by the separate terms and privacy policy of your device or operating-system provider.

23. Limitation of Liability

IN CONNECTION WITH ANY WARRANTY, CONTRACT, OR COMMON LAW TORT CLAIMS, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE (I) FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM FAILURE OR DELAY IN DELIVERY OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS, INTERCEPTION OR MANIPULATION OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS BY THIRD PARTIES OR BY COMPUTER PROGRAMS NOT UNDER THE CONTROL OF EXPO, OR TRANSMISSION OF VIRUSES; (II) FOR ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT ON THE SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE, OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF OTHER USERS OR THIRD PARTIES; (III) FOR ANY COMMUNICATIONS, INTERACTIONS, OR MEETINGS WITH OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICES OR OTHER PERSONS WITH WHOM YOU COMMUNICATE OR INTERACT AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES; (IV) FOR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE, OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSION OR CONTENT; (V) FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO ACCESS AND USE THE SERVICE OR RELIANCE ON INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICES, ANY INACCURACY OR OMISSION IN SUCH INFORMATION, OR FAILURE TO KEEP THE INFORMATION CURRENT, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; OR (VI) FOR ANY DIRECT DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF ONE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($100).

THE SERVICES MAY CONTAIN TECHNICAL INACCURACIES OR TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS OR OMISSIONS. UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SUCH TYPOGRAPHICAL OR TECHNICAL ERRORS LISTED ON THE SERVICES. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE CHANGES, CORRECTIONS, AND/OR IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SERVICES AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION. THEREFORE, SOME OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTY AND/OR LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NOTHING HERE SHALL AFFECT ANY NON-WAIVABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS THAT APPLY TO YOU.

24. Interstate Nature of Communications

When you use our Services, you acknowledge that you will be causing communications to be sent through Expo's computer networks, portions of which may be located in various locations in the United States and portions of which are located abroad. As a result, and also as a result of Expo's network architecture and business practices and the nature of electronic communications, even communications that seem to be intrastate in nature will result in the transmission of U.S. interstate communications regardless of where you are physically located at the time of transmission. Accordingly, by agreeing to these Terms of Service, you acknowledge that use of the Services results in U.S. interstate data transmissions.

25. Void Where Prohibited; International Users

26.1 Refund Policy

Except where required by applicable law, payments and Subscription fees are non-refundable, and Expo does not provide refunds or credits for partially used Subscription periods. Because Subscriptions are sold through the Apple App Store, refund requests are handled by Apple in accordance with Apple's refund policies and must be directed to Apple. Except as prohibited by applicable law, Expo reserves the right to stop providing the Services at any time, either permanently or temporarily, without obligation to make any compensation or refund, including in the following events:

• if you violate any provision of these Terms of Service, or there is any reasonable suspicion of your failure to comply with them; or
• if Expo ceases offering the Services or any part of them.

Deactivation or deletion of the account by the User leads to termination of these Terms of Service. Unless applicable law requires otherwise, Expo is not required to provide refunds, benefits, or other compensation if the User requests the deletion of an account, or if an account is deleted in accordance with this Section 26.1.

27. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU AND EXPO TO RESOLVE MOST DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND LIMITS YOUR RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE.

27.1 Informal Resolution First

Before initiating arbitration, you and Expo agree to first try to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. To begin, send a written Notice of Dispute to support@heyexpo.com describing the dispute and the relief sought. If we are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days, either party may proceed to arbitration.

27.2 Agreement to Arbitrate

In the event of a dispute arising under or relating to these Terms of Service (a "Dispute"), the Dispute shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), except as provided in this Section 27.

IF A CLAIM PROCEEDS TO ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE THAT CLAIM IN COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL, EXCEPT THAT EITHER PARTY MAY BRING ITS CLAIM IN ITS LOCAL SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF PERMITTED BY THAT SMALL CLAIMS COURT'S RULES AND IF WITHIN SUCH COURT'S JURISDICTION. ARBITRATION IS DIFFERENT FROM COURT, AND DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS MAY ALSO BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

27.3 Arbitration Procedure

All Disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator whose decision will be final, except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its then-current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules, or, where appropriate, pursuant to JAMS' Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. For any consumer Dispute, the JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards will also apply. All applicable JAMS rules and procedures are available at www.jamsadr.com. Judgment on the arbitrator's award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. If conducted in person, the arbitration shall take place in San Francisco or Los Angeles County, California, unless applicable law requires a different venue. The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the Dispute promptly after commencement of the arbitration.

27.4 Arbitration Fees

For any arbitration initiated by a consumer, Expo will pay all JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees other than the initial filing fee, consistent with the JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards and to the extent required by applicable law. In all other cases, each party will be responsible for paying its share of the JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules.

27.5 Exceptions

This Section 27 does not require arbitration of, and either party may bring in a court of competent jurisdiction, (a) claims that qualify for small claims court, and (b) requests for provisional or injunctive relief in aid of arbitration or to protect a party's intellectual property or proprietary interests. The parties may also litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the arbitrator's award.

27.6 30-Day Right to Opt Out

You may opt out of this Section 27 (other than the Class Action Waiver, which is addressed in Section 28) by sending written notice within 30 days of first accepting these Terms of Service to support@heyexpo.com, stating your name and that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms of Service.

27.7 Survival

This Section 27 will survive the termination of your relationship with Expo.

28. Class Action Waiver

You agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the Dispute between us and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (i) no arbitration or proceeding shall be joined with any other; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated or resolved on a class-action basis or to utilize class-action procedures; and (iii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

29. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Limitations

These Terms of Service are governed by California law, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You and Expo agree that, except as provided herein (including the arbitration provisions in Section 27), the state and federal courts located in the County of San Francisco, California, will have exclusive jurisdiction of all disputes arising out of or related to these Terms of Service or your use of our Services, and agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of these courts. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any cause of action you may have arising out of or related to these Terms of Service or the Services must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues; otherwise, such cause of action shall be permanently barred. This limitation does not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law or to any non-waivable statutory claim.

30. Electronic Communications

When you use our Services, or send emails to us, you are communicating with us electronically. You consent to receive communications from us electronically. We will communicate with you by email or by posting notices on the Site or the Expo App. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. In the event that the last email address you provided to us is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required or permitted under these Terms of Service, Expo's dispatch of the email containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You may provide Expo with notices only by mail to: Expo LLC, 2261 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94114-1612, United States.

31. Notice for California Users

Under California Civil Code § 1789.3, California users are entitled to the following consumer-rights notice: The Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs may be contacted in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

32. General

These Terms of Service make up the entire agreement between you and Expo regarding the Expo Services and supersede any prior agreements. If any portion of these Terms of Service is found to be unenforceable, the remaining portion will remain in full force and effect, except that if the Class Action Waiver in Section 28 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, then that claim (and only that claim) shall be severed from arbitration and brought in court. If we fail to enforce any of these Terms of Service, it will not be considered a waiver. Any waiver of these Terms of Service must be made in writing and signed by us. You will not transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms of Service to anyone else without the prior written consent of Expo. All of the rights and obligations of Expo under these Terms of Service are freely assignable by us in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or by operation of law or otherwise. Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, these Terms of Service do not confer any third-party beneficiary rights (except as set forth in Section 19). We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you. You will comply with all applicable laws when using or accessing the Expo Services.
