The following terms and conditions (hereinafter referred to as the "Terms") shall apply to the use of Ulysses (a support platform for challenges and problem-solving) operated by the Company. The following terms and conditions ("Terms and Conditions") apply to the use of the Service (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to abide by the following legally binding rules and any other rules found on the Site, including Ulysses' Privacy Policy and respective guidelines. These Terms and Conditions may be changed from time to time. Ulysses is a service for your personal, non-commercial use, except as described in Sections 4 and 5 below.

Ulysses asks its users to always behave in a responsible manner in order to make Ulysses an enjoyable place to participate. The following actions are prohibited on this site
The following terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth below.
Ulysses provides a platform to solicit participants and donations for solving and challenging tasks. When a User launches a Challenge on Ulysses or creates a Task as a Task Creator, he/she is offering conditions to third parties and soliciting them to enter into a contract. When a User submits a Task and is assigned as Task Owner, the User agrees to the terms and conditions offered by the User or Task Creator who launched the Challenge and enters into such contract.
Ulysses is not a party to such agreement. This Agreement is a legally binding agreement between the Users participating in the Challenge (i.e., the User launching the Challenge, the User being a Task Creator, the User being a Task Owner, and the User making a Funding Request). The terms and conditions (T&Cs) applicable to that agreement are as follows
This agreement item will be defined separately when the Funding feature is made available on the Site in the future.
Ulysses shall not be liable for any damages or losses incurred by the User in connection with the use of the Services. Ulysses does not guarantee the truthfulness of the descriptions of individual Challenge Tasks or the effectiveness of their completion, nor does Ulysses make any warranty as to their value. Ulysses does not supervise the outcome or progress of any Challenge (e.g., whether it is proceeding as planned) and does not endorse any of the content provided to the Site by third parties. User's use of the Ulysses Services shall be deemed to release Ulysses from any and all liability for any disputes, claims, demands for compensation or other claims (whether or not known, anticipated or disclosed by User) arising out of or in connection therewith. any content accessed by the user through the service is accessed by the user at his/her own risk. The User is solely responsible for any damage or loss caused to third parties as a result of such access.
No fees are charged for account registration on Ulysses. We (and our payment service partners) will charge a fee only when a user launches a challenge and the challenge is completed and the funded amount is debited. Payment service partner fees may vary based on the user's location.
We will ask the user to confirm and accept the fee amount before we collect the fee. If our commission fee changes, we will announce the change on this website. All or part of the amount funded by the user will be collected through our payment service partners. Each payment service partner is an independent company and Ulysses is not responsible for its services.
You are responsible for payment of any other fees or taxes that you incur when using Ulysses.
The Ulysses site may contain links to other companies' sites (for example, Challenge pages, user profiles, or comments may contain links to other companies' sites). If you decide to access other companies' sites, you do so at your own risk. Those sites are not under our control and are not endorsed by us.
Ulysses may work with payment service partners to process payments. When you participate in a Challenge (by launching a Challenge, becoming a Task Creator/Task Owner, or making a Funding), you also agree to the Terms of Service of those payment service partners.
Ulysses does not acquire any rights to the content you provide to us ("Submitted Content"). However, in order for us to operate the Service, we must receive certain licenses from you. When you launch a Challenge, create a Task, or submit a Task, you agree to the following terms and conditions

No advice or information (whether written or oral) obtained by you from Ulysses shall form the basis of any warranty.
If you do something that gets us sued, or break any of the promises you make in this agreement, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from all liabilities, claims, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal costs) that arise from or relate to your use or misuse of Ulysses. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to this indemnification clause, in which case you agree that you’ll cooperate and help us in asserting any defenses.
As part of this, by accepting these Terms of Use, you consent to service of process for any action that could be brought against Ulysses, for any reason.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will Ulysses, its directors, employees, partners, suppliers, or content providers be liable for any indirect, incidental, punitive, consequential, special, or exemplary damages of any kind, including but not limited to damages (i) resulting from your access to, use of, or inability to access or use the Services; (ii) for any lost profits, data loss, or cost of procurement or substitute goods or services; or (iii) for any conduct of content of any third party on the Site. In no event shall Ulysses’ liability for direct damages be in excess of (in the aggregate) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100.00).

In the unfortunate situation where legal action does arise, these Terms of Use (and any other rules, policies, or guidelines) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan, and if any dispute arises regarding these Terms of Use, the Tokyo District Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction as the court of first instance. Ulysses and its services and website shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws, and excluding the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, and Ulysses and its services and website shall not be subject to the general or special jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction over Ulysses and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, assignees, employees, directors, officers or shareholders.

You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or your use or non-use of Ulysses may be brought only in the Tokyo District Court of Japan and that no such action, claim or proceeding shall be brought in any other court. User agrees and consents to the personal jurisdiction of such courts to hear such actions. User irrevocably waives any right to a jury trial in any dispute.
In addition, where permitted by applicable law, User and Ulysses agree that each may file claims against the other only in its individual capacity and shall not file claims as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action for any purpose. No arbitrator or judge may consolidate the claims of more than one person or otherwise proceed with any form of representative or class action unless both you and Ulysses agree.
These Terms and the other material referenced in them are the entire agreement between you and Ulysses with respect to the Services. They supersede all other communications and proposals (whether oral, written, or electronic) between you and Ulysses with respect to the Services and govern our future relationship. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid under the law, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms otherwise will remain in full force and effect and enforceable. The failure of either you or Ulysses to exercise any right provided for in these Terms in any way won’t be deemed a waiver of any other rights.
These Terms are personal to you. You can’t assign them, transfer them, or sublicense them unless you get Ulysses’ prior written consent. Ulysses has the right to assign, transfer, or delegate any of its rights and obligations under these Terms without your consent.
