U.S. Government Rights
All Hiper Hipo software is commercial computer software and all services are commercial items. “Commercial computer software” has the meaning set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) 2.101 for civilian agency purchases and the Department of Defense (“DOD”) FAR Supplement (“DFARS”) 252.227‑7014(a)(1) for defense agency purchases. If the software is licensed or the services are acquired by or on behalf of a civilian agency, We provide the commercial computer software and/or commercial computer software documentation and other technical data subject to the terms of these Terms of Use as required in FAR 12.212 (Computer Software) and FAR 12.211 (Technical Data) and their successors. If the software is licensed or the services are acquired by or on behalf of any agency within the DOD, we provide the commercial computer software and/or commercial computer software documentation and other technical data subject to the terms of these Terms of Use as specified in DFARS 227.7202‑3 and its successors. Only if this is a DOD prime contract or DOD subcontract, the Government acquires additional rights in technical data as set forth in DFARS 252.227‑7015. This U.S. Government Rights clause is in lieu of, and supersedes, any other FAR, DFARS or other clause or provision that addresses Government rights in computer software or technical data.
Waiver and Severability
No waiver of these Terms of Use by us shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition, and any failure of ours to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
Third Party Beneficiaries
There are no third‑party beneficiaries to these Terms of Use, except that other users of the Website shall be third‑party beneficiaries of provisions of Section 4 (Store and Share) herein in which you promise not to assert claims for breach of warranty, breach of contract, patent infringement, or misrepresentation against any third‑party user based on the use or performance of a App.
Classification of Website and Hiper Hipo Products
In the event of a dispute, the categorization of any subject matter as either the Website or a Hiper Hipo Product shall be made by Hiper Hipo in its sole discretion, and Hiper Hipo may reclassify as a Hiper Hipo Product subject matter previously included in the Website.
Termination
Hiper Hipo may terminate these Terms of Use at any time for any reason by giving you written notice, and all licenses, permissions and other rights granted to you hereunder shall immediately terminate (including the license rights granted by third parties under Section 4 (Store and Share) herein to permit you to user their Apps). Notwithstanding the termination of these Terms of Use for any reason, Sections 6 (Intellectual Property) and 9 (Legal Considerations) herein shall survive.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms of Use and any dispute or claim arising out of, or related to, them, their subject matter or their formation (in each case, including non‑contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Minnesota in the United States without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule (whether of the State of Minnesota or any other jurisdiction).
Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use or the Website shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Minnesota, in each case located in the Minneapolis, Minnesota although we retain the right to bring any suit, action or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms of Use in your country of residence or any other relevant country. You hereby irrevocably waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

The Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Website and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Website. For the avoidance of doubt, these Terms of Use do not supersede any Subscription Agreement or other agreement pursuant to which you have been granted the right to use or access a Hiper Hipo Product, except to the extent that these Terms of Use provide that Apps or other Website Content are not subject to warranty or entitled to support, service credits, refunds, or other service entitlements under a Subscription Agreement.
