Please read these Terms of Use (the "Agreement") as they will create a legal binding agreement between City of Minot, and you when you click or tap "Agree" (or a similar term), or when you use the App (defined below).

We may, in our sole discretion, modify or revise this Agreement and policies at any time, and you agree to be bound by such modifications or revisions. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any third party rights or benefits. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may, at any time and without liability, modify or discontinue all or part of the Services, or offer opportunities to some or all users. We will seek to notify you by reasonable means of any modifications that will have a material adverse effect on the use of the Services, taken as a whole. We reserve the right to deny or terminate your access to the App, for any reason or no reason, provided such denial is not in violation of applicable law. YOU MUST BE, AND REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE, OLDER THAN THE AGE OF MAJORITY, OR HAVE THE EXPRESSED CONSENT OF YOUR LEGAL GUARDIAN, TO USE THE APP, THE SERVICES AND CONSENT TO THE COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL DATA, IN YOUR JURISDICTION.

4. App Store Terms of Use

If you are accessing the Service through an application store provided by a third-party such as Google, Inc. or Apple, Inc., then such third-party provider shall be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement. These third-party beneficiaries are not responsible for the provision or support of the Services in any manner. In addition, you must comply with the terms of service of any such third-party beneficiary. If you obtain the App from the Apple app store, then the following terms apply to your use of the App, in addition to the Terms of Use herein:

1.     If there are any conflicts between this Agreement and the Apple Store Terms of Service, the Apple Store Terms of Service will apply.

2.     The licence granted to you in this Agreement to use the App and Services is for use on Apple-branded products, owned or controlled by you. Your mobile device must be such a product. The App may be used or accessed by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.

3.     We're giving you personally the right to use the App and the Service as set out above. You can't transfer the App or the Service to someone else, whether for money, for anything else or for free. And if you sell any device on which the App is installed, you must remove the App first. You must also keep all passwords secure and not provide this information to anyone else.

4.     If you need any support with respect to the App, please contact us, not Apple as they are under no obligation to help with any support or maintenance questions arising out of use of the App.

5.     In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App to you; and that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be our sole responsibility.

7.     In the event of any third party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Minot City Transit or the Transit Provider, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.

8.     You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

9.     Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement against you.

5. General

1.     This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy and any other legal notices published by Minot City Transit on the App, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Minot City Transit concerning the App.

2.     If any provision of This Agreement is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

3.     No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Minot City Transit's failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

4.     The parties agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the App or the Services must commence within one year after the cause of action accrues, otherwise such cause of action is permanently barred.

5.     Minot City Transit is entitled to terminate the Agreement at all times and with immediate effect (by disabling your use of the App and the Service) if you violate or breach any term of this Agreement, or in the opinion of Minot City Transit, misuse the App or the Service. Minot City Transit is not obliged to give notice of the termination of the Agreement in advance.

6.     The invalidity of any term of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of any other provision. If and to the extent that any provision of this Agreement is invalid, or is unacceptable in the given circumstances according to the criteria of reasonableness and fairness, a provision shall apply between the parties instead that is acceptable considering all the circumstances and which corresponds with the provisions of the void part as much as possible, taking into account the content and the purpose of this Agreement.

7.     Minot City Transit may give notice by means of a general notice on the Service or App, or by electronic mail to your email address on record in Minot City Transit's account information, or by written communication sent by regular mail to your address on record in Minot City Transit's account information.

8.     You may not assign your rights under these User Terms without prior written approval of Minot City Transit.

9.     These User Terms are subject to the laws of Minot, North Dakota, USA.
