Welcome to Dooqod.com. Please read on to learn the rules and restrictions that govern your use of our website(s), products, and services (the “Services”). The Services are owned and operated by Dooqod, Inc. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding these terms or the Services, please contact us at [email protected].

When we refer to “you” or “your”, we’re talking about you (including, if you are entering into these terms on behalf of third party, such third party). When we refer to “us”, “we”, “our”, or “BrainFights”, we’re talking about the Services and our company (including its officers, directors, investors, agents, representatives, and employees).

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding contract between you and BrainFights. You must agree to and accept all of the applicable Terms, or you don’t have the right to use the Services. These terms also include the provisions of the Privacy Policy and Copyright Policy.

AGAIN, PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION. THESE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.

Will these Terms ever change?

We are constantly trying to improve our Services, so these Terms may need to change along with the Services. We reserve the right to change these Terms at any time, but if we do, we will bring it to your attention by placing a notice on the app.dooqod.com website, by sending you an email, and/or by some other means.

If you don’t agree with the new Terms, you are free to reject them; unfortunately, that means you will no longer be able to use any of the Services. If you use any of the Services in any way after a change to these Terms is effective, that means you agree to all of the changes.

Except for changes by us as described here, no other amendment or modification of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by both you and us.

What about my privacy?

Dooqod takes the privacy of its users very seriously. For the current Dooqod Privacy Policy, please click here.

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires that online service providers obtain parental consent before they knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from children under 13; if you are a child under 13, please do not attempt to register for the Services or send any personal information about yourself to us. If we learn we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 13 may have provided us personal information, please contact us at [email protected].

What are the basics of using the Services?

You may be required to sign up for an account, and select a password and username (“Dooqod User ID”). You promise to provide us with accurate, complete, and updated registration information about yourself. You may not select as your Dooqod User ID a name that you don’t have the right to use, or another person’s name with the intent to impersonate that person. You may not transfer your account to anyone else without our prior written permission.

You represent and warrant that you are an individual of legal age to form a binding contract (or if not, you’ve received your parent’s or guardian’s permission to use the Services and gotten your parent or guardian to agree to these Terms on your behalf).

You will only use the Services for your own internal, personal, non-commercial use, and not on behalf of or for the benefit of any third party, and only in a manner that complies with all laws that apply to you. If your use of the Services is prohibited by applicable laws, then you aren’t authorized to use the Services. We can’t and won’t be responsible for your using the Services in a way that breaks the law.

You will not share your account or password with anyone, and you must protect the security of your account and your password. You’re responsible for any activity associated with your account.

Your use of the Services is subject to the following additional restrictions:

You represent, warrant, and agree that you will not (and will not permit or assist any third party to) contribute any Content or User Submission (each of those terms is defined below) or otherwise use (or allow any third party to use) the Services or interact with the Services in a manner that:

• Infringes or violates any intellectual property rights or any other rights of anyone else (including Dooqod);
• Violates any law or regulation, including any applicable export control laws;
• Is harmful, fraudulent, deceptive, threatening, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable, or would otherwise expose Dooqod or its third party providers to unreasonable risk of legal liability, or otherwise injure Dooqod, its third party providers or any other third party;
• Jeopardizes the security of your Dooqod account or anyone else’s (such as allowing someone else to log in to the Services as you);
• Attempts, in any manner, to obtain the password, account, or other security information from any other user;
• Bypasses or violates the security of any computer network, or cracks any passwords or security encryption codes, or potentially exposes any of the Services to software viruses or any other computer code, files, or programs that are designed or intended to disrupt, damage, limit or interfere with the proper function of any software, hardware, or telecommunications equipment, or to otherwise damage or obtain unauthorized access to any system, data, password or other information of Dooqod or any of its third party providers;
• Runs Maillist, Listserv, any form of auto-responder or “spam” on the Services, or any processes that run or are activated while you are not logged into the Services, or that otherwise interfere with the proper working of the Services (including by placing an unreasonable load on the Services’ infrastructure);
• “Crawls,” “scrapes,” or “spiders” any page, data, or portion of or relating to the Services or Content (through use of manual or automated means);
• Copies or stores any significant portion of the Content;
• Decompiles, reverse engineers, or otherwise attempts to obtain the source code or underlying ideas or information of or relating to the Services, except to the limited extent applicable laws specifically prohibit such restriction; or
• Take any action that imposes or may impose (as determined by Dooqod in its sole discretion) an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on Dooqod’s (or its third party providers’) infrastructure.

A violation of any of the foregoing is grounds for termination of your right to use or access the Services.

What are my rights in the Services

The materials displayed or performed or available on or through the Services, including, but not limited to, text, graphics, data, articles, photos, images, illustrations, User Submissions, and so forth (all of the foregoing, the “Content”) are protected by copyright and/or other intellectual property laws. You promise to abide by all copyright notices, trademark rules, information, and restrictions contained in any Content you access through the Services, and you won’t use, copy, reproduce, modify, translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform, upload, display, license, sell or otherwise exploit for any purpose any Content not owned by you, (i) without the prior consent of the owner of that Content or (ii) in a way that violates someone else’s (including Dooqod’) rights.

You understand that Dooqod owns the Services. You won’t modify, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, reproduce (except as expressly provided in this Section), create derivative works based on, or otherwise exploit any of the Services.

The Services may allow you to copy or download certain Content; please remember that just because this functionality exists, doesn’t mean that all the restrictions above don’t apply – they do!

Do I have to grant any licenses to Dooqod or to other users?

Anything you post, upload, share, store, or otherwise provide through the Services (including, for example, any code solutions you provide (“Solutions”)) is your “User Submission.” Some User Submissions are viewable by other users. In order to display your User Submissions on the Services, and to allow other users to enjoy them (where applicable), you grant us certain rights in those User Submissions. Please note that all of the following licenses are subject to our Privacy Policy to the extent they relate to User Submissions that also contain any of your personally-identifiable information.

For all User Submissions, you hereby grant Dooqod a license to use, translate, modify (for technical purposes, for example making sure your content is viewable on your device or computer) and reproduce and otherwise act with respect to such User Submissions, in each case to enable us to operate the Services, as described in more detail below. Further, if you have opted in to sharing your User Submissions with Companies, you hereby grant Dooqod and the Companies a license to use such User Submissions in connection with our technical skills assessment Services (including, without limitation, in order contact you and evaluate whether you would be a good fit for the engineering positions that the Companies are looking to fill). The licenses set forth in this paragraph are, collectively, the “User Submission Rights.” This is a license only – your ownership in User Submissions is not affected.

If you store a User Submission in your own personal Dooqod account, in a manner that is not viewable by any other user except you (a “Personal User Submission”), you grant Dooqod the User Submission Rights with respect to such submissions, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Personal User Submission for the purpose of making that Personal User Submission accessible to you and otherwise providing the Services.

If you share a User Submission in a manner that more than just you can view, or if you provide us (in a direct email or otherwise) with any feedback, suggestions, improvements, enhancements, and/or feature requests relating to the Services (each of the foregoing, a “Public User Submission”), then you grant Dooqod the User Submission Rights with respect to such submissions, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Public User Submission for the purpose of making that Public User Submission accessible to all Dooqod users and Companies and providing the Services necessary to do so, as well as all other rights necessary to use and exercise all rights in that Public User Submission in connection with the Services and/or otherwise in connection with Dooqod’s business for any purpose. Also, you grant all other users of the Services a license to access that Public User Submission, and to use and exercise all rights in it, as permitted by the functionality of the Services.

You agree that the licenses you grant are royalty-free, perpetual, sublicenseable, irrevocable, transferable and worldwide. You also understand that when you delete your Dooqod account or your account is terminated, your User Submissions will no longer be accessible through your account, but those User Submissions may persist and appear within the Services (for example, if your Solutions have been approved and are being used within the Services).

Finally, you understand and agree that Dooqod, in performing the required technical steps to provide the Services to our users (including you), may need to make changes to your User Submissions to conform and adapt those User Submissions to the technical requirements of connection networks, devices, services, or media, and the foregoing licenses include the rights to do so.

What if I see something on the Services that infringes my copyright?

You may have heard of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”), as it relates to online service providers, like Dooqod, being asked to remove material that allegedly violates someone’s copyright. We respect others’ intellectual property rights, and we reserve the right to delete or disable Content alleged to be infringing, and to terminate the accounts of repeat alleged infringers; to report potentially infringing content, contact us at [email protected]. To learn more about the DMCA, click here.

Who is responsible for what I see and do on the Services?

Any information or content publicly posted or privately transmitted through the Services is the sole responsibility of the person from whom such content originated, and you access all such information and content at your own risk, and we aren’t liable for any errors or omissions in that information or content or for any damages or loss you might suffer in connection with it. We cannot control and have no duty to take any action regarding how you may interpret and use any Content or what actions you may take as a result of having been exposed to any Content, and you hereby release us from all liability for you having acquired or not acquired Content through the Services. We can’t guarantee the identity of any users with whom you interact in using the Services and are not responsible for which users gain access to the Services.

You are responsible for all Content you contribute, in any manner, to the Services, and you represent and warrant you have all rights necessary to do so, in the manner in which you contribute it. You will keep all your registration information accurate and current. You are responsible for all your activity in connection with the Services.

The Services may contain links or connections to third party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Dooqod. When you access third party websites or use third party services, you accept that there are risks in doing so, and that Dooqod is not responsible for such risks. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Services and to read these terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third party website or service that you visit or utilize.

Dooqod has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, privacy policies, or practices of or opinions expressed in any third party websites or by any third party that you interact with through the Services (including any Companies). In addition, Dooqod will not and cannot monitor, verify, censor or edit the content of any third party site or service. By using the Services, you release and hold us harmless from any and all liability arising from your use of any third party website or service.

Your interactions with organizations and/or individuals with whom you may come into contact on or through the Services (including any Companies), including payment and delivery of goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such organizations and/or individuals. You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any of these third parties. You agree that Dooqod shall have no obligation or responsibility with respect to, and not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings.

If there is a dispute between participants on this site, or between participants and any third party, you agree that Dooqod is under no obligation to become involved. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users (including any Employer), you release Dooqod, its officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or our Services. If you are a California resident, you shall and hereby do waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

Will Dooqod ever change the Services?

We’re always trying to improve the Services, so they may change over time. We may suspend or discontinue any part of the Services, or we may introduce new features or impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Services. We’ll try to give you notice when we make a material change to the Services that would adversely affect you, but this isn’t always practical. Similarly, we reserve the right to remove any Content from the Services at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, if someone alleges you contributed that Content in violation of these Terms), in our sole discretion, and without notice.

Do the Services cost anything?

The Dooqod Services charge for certain or all Services usage. By using Dooqod you agree to pay for the Services you are subscribed.

What if I want to stop using the Services?

You’re free to do that at any time. To delete your account, please go to your Account Page while logged in and click the “Delete Profile” button located at the bottom of the page.

Please refer to our Privacy Policy, as well as the licenses above, to understand how we treat information you provided to us after you have stopped using our Services.

Dooqod is also free to terminate (or suspend access to) your use of the Services or your account, for any reason in our discretion, including your breach of these Terms. Dooqod has the sole right to decide whether you are in violation of any of the restrictions set forth in these Terms.

Account termination may result in destruction of any Content associated with your account, so keep that in mind before you decide to terminate your account. We will try to provide advance notice to you prior to our terminating your account so that you are able to retrieve any important User Submissions you may have stored in your account (to the extent allowed by law and these Terms), but we may not do so if we determine it would be impractical, illegal, not in the interest of someone’s safety or security, or otherwise harmful to the rights or property of Dooqod.

Provisions that, by their nature, should survive termination of these Terms shall survive termination. By way of example, all of the following will survive termination: any obligation you have to pay us or indemnify us, any limitations on our liability, any terms regarding ownership or intellectual property rights, and terms regarding disputes between us.

What else do I need to know

Warranty Disclaimer. Dooqod has no special relationship with or fiduciary duty to you. Neither Dooqod nor its licensors or suppliers makes any representations or warranties concerning any content contained in or accessed through the Services, and we will not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality, or decency of material contained in or accessed through the Services. We (and our licensors and suppliers) make no representations or warranties regarding suggestions or recommendations of services or products offered or purchased through the Services. Products and services purchased or offered (whether or not following such recommendations and suggestions) through the Services are provided “AS IS” and without any warranty of any kind from Dooqod or others (unless, with respect to such others only, provided expressly and unambiguously in writing by a designated third party for a specific service product). Dooqod has no control over, and makes no representations regarding Users’ or Companies’ actions or services. Dooqod does not represent or warrant that it will share your User Submissions with any Companies, that Companies will contact you, or that you will be hired, nor does it make any representation or warranty as to the results that may be obtained by you from use of the Services. THE SERVICES AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED BY DOOQOD (AND ITS LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS) ON AN “AS-IS” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Limitation of Liability. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TORT, CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) SHALL DOOQOD (OR ITS LICENSORS OR SUPPLIERS) BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON FOR (A) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, ACCURACY OF RESULTS, OR COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR (B) ANY AMOUNT, IN THE AGGREGATE, IN EXCESS OF THE GREATER OF (I) $100 OR (II) THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO DOOQOD IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THIS APPLICABLE CLAIM, OR (C) ANY MATTER BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Indemnity. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, You agree to indemnify and hold Dooqod, its affiliates, and ours and their officers, agents, employees, and partners harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages (actual and consequential), losses and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or in any way related to any claims relating to (a) your use of the Services (including any actions taken by a third party using your account), and (b) your violation of these Terms.

Assignment. You may not assign, delegate or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations hereunder, or your Services account, in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) without Dooqod’s prior written consent. We may transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations hereunder without consent.

Choice of Law; Arbitration. These Terms are governed by and will be construed under the laws of the State of California, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. Any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of these Terms shall be finally settled in San Francisco County, California, in English, in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction. For all purposes of these Terms, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state or federal courts located in, respectively, San Francisco County, California, or the Northern District of California.
Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis: class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Territorial Restrictions. The Services are designed for the use by Users and Companies located in the United States. We make no representations that the Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations, and you may not use the Services in locations outside the United States or for employees outside of the United States without the express prior written permission of Dooqod, to be given by Dooqod at its sole discretion and on a case-by-case basis. Those who access or use the Services from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are entirely responsible for compliance with all applicable United States and local laws and regulations, including but not limited to the rules and regulations applicable to export and import of products, services, software and technical data regardless of the jurisdiction in which you are located. Dooqod is hosted in the United States. If you use Dooqod from outside the United States, you acknowledge that you are voluntarily transferring information, including personally identifiable information and User Submissions to the United States and that you agree that our collection, use, storage and sharing of your information and User Submissions is exclusively subject to the laws of the United States and not of the jurisdiction where you are located. You may not use the Services if you are a resident of a country embargoed by the United States, or are a foreign person or entity blocked or denied by the United States government. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all materials found on the Service are solely directed to individuals, companies, or other entities located in the United States.

Miscellaneous. You will be responsible for paying, withholding, filing, and reporting all taxes, duties, and other governmental assessments associated with your activity in connection with the Services, provided that the Dooqod may, in its sole discretion, do any of the foregoing on your behalf or for itself as it sees fit. The failure of either you or us to exercise, in any way, any right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated, to the minimum extent necessary, so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. You and Dooqod agree that these Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding between you and Dooqod, and that it supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms. Any use of the word “including” or “includes” in these Terms shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venture of Dooqod, and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Dooqod in any respect whatsoever. You and Dooqod agree there are no third party beneficiaries intended under these Terms.
