Last Modified: April 22, 2022
These terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) set forth the agreement between you and nZero Labs, Inc. and its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively “nZero Labs”, "ODF", “we” or “us”) and govern your participation in programs offered by ODF as described on its website at https://www.joinodf.com/ ( each, an "ODF Program") and your use of the other products and services we offer through our websites and applications that link to these Terms and Conditions (collectively , the “ODF Platform”). Our provision to you of access to and use of the ODF Platform, participation in an ODF Program, and any other services provided by ODF applications that link to these Terms and Conditions are together referred to herein as the "Services".
By clicking "I Accept" or by using our Services, you agree to these Terms and Conditions, including the mandatory arbitration provision and class action waiver in Section 13. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions, please do not use our Services.
We may supply different or additional terms in relation to some of our Services, and those different or additional terms become part of your agreement with us if you use those Services. If there is a conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the additional terms, the additional terms will control for that conflict.
1. ACCEPTANCE AND ELIGIBILITY
1.1 Acceptance. You must be at least 13 years of age to use our Services. By accepting these Terms and Conditions you represent and warrant that you: (a) are at least 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority where you live) or you are a parent or guardian of a user at least 13 years of age and under the age of 18 (or the age of legal majority) and agree to be fully responsible for the acts or omissions of such user in relation to our Services; (b) have read and understand and accept these Terms and Conditions; and, (c) agree that these Terms and Conditions constitute a binding contract governing your rights with respect to the Services and the relationship between you and ODF.
1.2 Changes. We consistently evaluate our business for improvements, so these Terms and Conditions may need to change. We reserve the right to change these Terms and Conditions at any time. If we do, we will bring such changes to your attention, such as by updating the date at the top of these Terms and Conditions, by placing a notice on joinodf.com, or by sending notice to the primary email address specified in your account. Please review all updates, as once the Terms and Conditions have been updated your continued use of the Services will constitute acceptance of the updated terms. If you don’t agree with the amended Terms and Conditions, you are free to reject them; unfortunately, that means you must stop using the Services.
1.3 Assessing Candidate Eligibility. ODF reserves the right in its sole discretion to accept or decline to accept any applicant or guest into an ODF Program after conducting an evaluation by means such as applications and interviews.

If we remove you from the ODF Platform, an ODF Program in progress, or an event, activity, workspace, or accommodations, you will not be entitled to any refund, payment, compensation or credit for unused or missed services or costs that result from the termination of participation.
