Welcome to Tuva Labs Inc.’s (“Tuva”) website. These Terms of Use govern your use of
www.tuvalabs.com, and any successor websites of the foregoing (collectively, the “Site”), any Tuva
software, downloaded from this Site or obtained elsewhere (the “Software”), and all of the services made
available on the Site (the “Services”). By using the Software, Services or visiting or browsing the
Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms of Use and
any modifications that may be made to these Terms of Use from time to time.
In addition, to the extent our Services or Software require you to set up an account with a password, if
you are designated as the parent or legal guardian in the account, or are otherwise the person who first
registers for a Service, you agree to be responsible for ensuring that all users on your account comply
with these Terms of Use and any modifications that may be made to the Terms of Use from time to time. If
you do not agree to these Terms of Use, you should not use the Services or Software, or visit or browse
the Site.
These Terms of Use constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Tuva Labs, Inc. (“Tuva,” “we,”
“us,” and “our”). If you are using the Site, Services or Software, on behalf of any entity or person
(including child), you represent and warrant that you are authorized to accept these Terms of Use on
such entity’s behalf or such person’s behalf, and that, to the extent permitted by law, such entity or
person agrees to indemnify you and Tuva for violations of these Terms of Use. Please read these Terms of
Use carefully before accessing or using the Site, Software or the Services.
Modifications
We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Use at any time and in any manner at our sole discretion, including the fees for the Software or Services. Notice of any modification of these Terms of Use will be posted in this section of the Site, and any such modifications will be effective upon the posting of such notice. Your continued use of the Site, Software or the Services constitutes your binding acceptance of such modifications. Please check this section of the Site before using the Site, Software or the Services to determine whether a change has been made to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to any changes in the Terms of Use as they may occur, please arrange to terminate your registration with the Site immediately and discontinue your use of the Service, Software and the Site. You agree that we are not liable to you or to any third party for any modification of the Terms of Use.
Registration
Before you can use certain parts of the Software or Services, you may be required to register
an account through the Site. You must be 18 years of age or older to register for a Tuva account. You
may, however, add or register additional users to use the Services, who are younger than 18 years old,
but only if you are such user’s parent or legal guardian, or are an authorized school employee with
permission from the user’s parent or legal guardian.
You agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself and the users of
the account as prompted by the Site’s registration form (such information, being the “Registration
Data”), and you agree to maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate,
current, and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or
incomplete, or we have any reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate,
not current, or incomplete, we may suspend or terminate your account and refuse to offer you any and all
current or future use of the Services, Software and the Site.
You agree that, if you provide any personally identifiable information about a child under age 13 in
order to allow them to use the Site, Software or Services, that you are either (a) the parent/legal
guardian of such child and that you consent to the child’s use of the Site, Software and Service and
agree to be bound to these Terms of Use with respect to the child’s use or (b) an authorized school
employee who has properly informed the child’s parents or legal guardian, and received permission from
the child’s parent or legal guardian to allow the child to use the Site, Software and Service, and you
agree to be bound to these Terms of Use with respect to the child’s use. You understand that the privacy
policy will apply to the child’s use of the Site, Software and Service.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting
access to your computer. You are solely responsible for any activity related to your account. If you
suspect any unauthorized use of your account, notify us immediately. You acknowledge and agree that we
may preserve user information and may also disclose user information, if required to do so by law or if
we believe, in good faith, that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply
with legal process; (b) enforce these Terms of Use; (c) respond to claims that any Content violates the
rights of third parties; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Tuva, its users, or
the public.
Without limiting the foregoing, parents, legal guardians, and school administrators who have registered
accounts hereunder, understand that they are responsible for the acts and activities of their minor
children in connection with any use of the Site, Software, and/or Software, and that the privacy policy will apply to their use of the foregoing. If you
are a parent or legal guardian of a minor who is using the Site, Software, and/or Software in connection
with a school or other educational facility without your permission, you must notify us immediately upon
your knowledge of such use, otherwise you will be deemed to have provided permission for your child’s
use indirectly through your child’s authorized school official and you agree to be bound to these Terms
of Use with respect to your child’s use.
Fee Based Services and Software
Some Services and Software may be offered to you on a fee basis. All fees are quoted and must
be paid in U.S Dollars. If you elect to purchase fee-based Services or Software and transmit to Tuva a
purchase request, you warrant that your use of the particular credit card or other Tuva accepted payment
method is authorized and that all information that you submit to Tuva, or any third party designated by
Tuva, is true and accurate (including, without limitation, your credit card number and expiration date),
and you agree to pay all fees, including any applicable sales taxes, you incur.
Any account name, password, or user ID supplied to you in connection with any fee-based Services or
Software you purchase is applicable to you, and you may not transfer or make available your account
name, password, or user ID to others. Any distribution by you of such account name, password, and/or
user ID may result in cancellation of the fee-based Services and Software without refund and the
imposition of additional charges based on your unauthorized use.
Content
The Site, Software and the Services may allow you and other third parties to post data, text,
code, messages, opinions, advice, statements, reviews, comments, and other materials and information
(collectively, “Content”). All Content, whether publicly posted on or privately transmitted via the
Site, Software or the Services, is the sole responsibility of the person from whom the Content
originated and not of Tuva, or its shareholders, directors, officers, or employees.
Tuva may review and delete any Content, in whole or in part, that in the sole judgment of Tuva violates
these Terms of Use or that might be offensive, illegal, or that might violate the rights of or harm any
third parties. Nonetheless, under no circumstances will Tuva or its stockholders, directors, officers,
employees, agents, representatives, partners, or affiliates be held liable for any loss or damage caused
by your reliance on Content obtained through the Site, Software or the Services. It is your
responsibility to evaluate the Content available through the Services, Software or the Site. Although
Content will not be pre-screened or reviewed, we reserve the right to refuse or delete any Content.

When you post Content, you hereby grant (or warrant that the owner of the Content grants) us
and each user of the Site, Software or the Services a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, fully
sublicensable, worldwide, non-exclusive right to use, reproduce, modify, translate, adapt, publish,
create derivative works of, transmit, distribute, perform, display, delete (in whole or in part), and
incorporate the Content for any purpose and without acknowledgement to you. By posting or providing
Content, you represent and warrant that public posting and use of your Content by us and any of our
users will not infringe on or violate the rights of any third party.

non-transferable license to use the Software solely to use the Service to the extent you have the right
to access the Service. Your right to access the Service will be limited by the terms of this Agreement.
Except for this license granted to you, we retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software,
including all related intellectual property rights.
The Software and Services are protected by applicable intellectual property laws, including United
States copyright law and international treaties. Except as otherwise explicitly provided in this
Agreement or as may be expressly permitted by applicable law, you will not, and will not permit or
authorize third parties to: (a) reproduce, modify, translate, enhance, decompile, disassemble, reverse
engineer, or create derivative works of the Software and/or Services; (b) rent, lease, or sublicense the
Software and/or Services; nor (c) circumvent or disable any security or technological features or

Disclaimers of Warranties; Limitations on Liability
The Site, Software, and the Services (including all Content) are provided on an “AS IS” and
“AS AVAILABLE” basis. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
Tuva makes no representations or warranties of any kind with respect to the Services, the Content, the
Site, the Software, or any contents therein. Tuva assumes no liability or responsibility for any errors

MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUALITY, ACCURACY, AUTHENTICITY, TITLE, AND
NON-INFRINGEMENT.
In addition, Tuva does not represent or warrant that the information on or accessible via the Site or
Software, or through the Services is complete, current or will be updated or corrected. While Tuva
attempts to make your access and use of the site, the services, and the software safe, Tuva cannot and
does not represent or warrant that the site, the software, or its server(s) are free of viruses or other
harmful components; therefore, you should use industry recognized software to detect and disinfect

IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT, SHALL NOT EXCEED $100. EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS OF USE THAT PROVIDES FOR A
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS
UNDER THESE TERMS OF USE BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS ALLOCATION IS REFLECTED IN THE FEES WE CHARGE, IF
ANY, AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE
PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS OF USE. THE LIMITATIONS
IN THIS SECTION WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY UNDER
THESE TERMS OF USE. Some states do not allow the foregoing limitations of liability, so they may not
apply to you. ANY AND ALL PORTIONS OF THIS DISCLAIMER SHALL AUTOMATICALLY APPLY TO ALL IMPROVEMENTS
AND/OR AMENDMENTS AS THEY APPEAR ON THE SITE, SERVICES AND/OR THE SOFTWARE.
If you are dissatisfied with the Site, Services and/or Software, or with any terms, conditions, rules,
policies, guidelines or practices of using the Site, Services and/or Software, your sole remedy is to
discontinue using the Site, Services and/or Software.

Any such controversy or claim will be arbitrated on an individual basis, and will not be consolidated in any arbitration with any claim or controversy of any other party. The arbitration will be conducted in New York County, New York, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered into any court having jurisdiction thereof. The award of the arbitrator will be final and binding upon the parties without appeal or review except as permitted by New York law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek any interim or preliminary injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, as necessary to protect the party’s rights or property pending the completion of arbitration.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code — 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
