DDA Library Terms and Conditions

Last updated: August 19, 2024

Art. 1 – Introduction

PLEASE READ THESE CONDITIONS CAREFULLY TO ENSURE YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION.

DDA Library is a learning platform (Platform) designed to share various materials, including but not limited to, Data Driven ABA trademarks and logos, videos, documents, texts, images, information, data, audio files, and other materials and their organization.

These materials concern, but are not limited to, evidence-based procedures for behavior modification and responses to questions/comments (collectively, Content) from those who access the Platform (Client, “you“, “your“). In addition to accessing the Platform’s Content, the Client may interact by sharing them with others. The term “Community” refers to the collection of information, questions, comments, and any other material produced by the Client on the platform as a result of interaction.

As described in ART. 5.2 of these terms: DDA assumes no responsibility for the application of behavioral procedures or any content shown or described in the Platform’s Content.

In case of doubts or psychological and/or behavioral issues, it is suggested to consult a qualified professional in the field.

DDA Library does not in any case replace the intervention of a qualified and responsible professional.

DDA Library’s sole purpose is to provide Content without any implicit and/or explicit application indication on its use and should not be interpreted as a guide to solve behavioral and/or psychological problems concerning your users or your relatives.

DDA LIBRARY IS NOT IN ANY WAY CONFIGURED AS A CONTINUOUS ASSISTANCE SERVICE TO USERS WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL OR BEHAVIORAL DIAGNOSES OR DIFFICULTIES OF ANY NATURE, NOR AS A BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS OR PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICE OF ANY KIND.

DDA LIBRARY IS NOT A TRAINING COURSE, DOES NOT GUARANTEE A TRAINING LEVEL OR THE ACQUISITION OF SPECIFIC SKILLS.

DDA Library is owned by Data Driven ABA (“we”, “our”, “us”, “DDA”). Data Driven ABA is the name of the group of professionals founded by:

Data Driven ABA is a group of professionals who decided to unite under a single name to mutually assist each other in their professional lives. Each professional in the group remains independent, possesses their own service contract for the users, and issues invoices individually.

The collaboration and relationship between the members of DDA are sanctioned and regulated according to the document “Contratto dei membri Data Driven ABA relativo al progetto DDA Library” (Data Driven ABA Members Contract relating to the DDA Library project), signed on March 25, 2024.

These Terms and Conditions of Use (Terms) regulate the use of DDA Library: by registering, accessing the Platform, or otherwise using DDA Library, the Client agrees to these Terms. The Client declares that they have read and understood these Terms for using the Platform and agrees to be bound by them. This agreement is as valid and binding as a written agreement in paper form.

If the Client does not accept these Terms, they are not authorized to use DDA Library or access any Content and must refrain from doing so.

Access to DDA Library is provided through Mighty Software, Inc. (Mighty) (mightynetworks.com). By accessing DDA Library, the Client agrees to the “Mighty Networks Terms of Use” dated April 1, 2024 and subsequent updates, and the “Mighty Networks Privacy Policy” dated April 1, 2024 and subsequent updates.

DDA is exclusively responsible for the content and management of DDA Library. This means that DDA’s primary task is to take care of and organize everything related to the material present in the “DDA Library.” This includes:

Creating and updating the library’s content.
Managing information, such as the organization of resources, their quality, and their accessibility.
Maintaining the internal structure of the library (e.g., categories, tags, etc.).

Mighty, on the other hand, is entirely responsible for the platform and infrastructure on which the DDA Library is hosted. This means that Mighty takes care of the technological and operational part, ensuring that the library is accessible and functional. Mighty’s responsibilities include:

Managing the servers and technical infrastructure (hardware and software) that support the platform.
Developing and maintaining the platform, ensuring it is secure, stable, and performant.
Providing access to DDA Library content and managing technical issues, such as downtime or malfunctions.

If the Client does not accept Mighty’s Terms and Privacy Policy, they are not authorized to use DDA Library or access any Content and must refrain from doing so.

https://www.mightynetworks.com/terms-of-use
https://www.mightynetworks.com/privacy-policy
https://www.mightynetworks.com/eu-privacy-notice

It is specified here that by accepting Mighty’s privacy policy, the Client consents to the transfer of their personal data to the datadrivenaba.com website, exclusively for purposes related to the content of the Platform (such as receiving information about ABA, accessing conferences, webinars, and other related activities) and for the offering of products, services, or content relevant to the Client. Under no circumstances will the data be sold to third parties for commercial purposes. Any data transfer will be carried out in compliance with applicable laws and with the adoption of adequate security measures to ensure the protection of the Client’s privacy. In this context, DDA’s privacy policy applies, available at the following link: https://datadrivenaba.com/privacy-policy

1. Registration

To access the Platform and its Content, the Client must follow the instructions provided by Mighty (Registration) and create their own reserved area within the Platform (Account).

The Client can access the Registration instructions for the Platform either through the website www.datadrivenaba.com, by searching for the Platform on Mighty on their own, or through links (e.g., promotional posts) to the Platform itself.

At the same time as creating an Account, the Client must purchase a Subscription for Access to the Platform as defined in ART. 2 of these Terms. Access to the Platform and its content will only be granted after submitting valid payment details accepted by DDA and after verifying compliance with the eligibility requirements described in ART. 1.2 of these terms.

Account and Password

To open an Account, the Client will be asked to provide certain information, such as Name, Surname, email address, and a password.

The Client is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their Account, password, and limiting access to their computer.

DDA authorizes members of the same household, meaning people living in the same apartment/house, to access the Platform even using a single Account.

If the Client allows others to use their account credentials, they agree to these Terms on behalf of all individuals accessing the Platform with their Account or password and are responsible for all activities conducted with their Account or password.

It is the Client’s responsibility to ensure that the information provided to DDA during Registration and afterward is correct, up-to-date, and complete to the best of their knowledge. Unless DDA grants written permission, the Client cannot sell, rent, transfer, share, or allow others who are not part of their household to access their Account, nor can they assign another person to manage the administrative rights of the Account.

DDA reserves the right to take all necessary legal measures to prevent unauthorized use of the Platform and its Content, including technological barriers, IP address mapping, and in severe cases, directly contacting the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to report unauthorized use.

In case of loss or theft of access data, or if unauthorized access to the Account is suspected, it is necessary to immediately inform DDA (by contacting Gerard at gerard@datadrivenaba.com).

For any reason, DDA may request a change of the username.

2. Age and Eligibility Requirements

To use DDA Library and access any content, it is necessary to:

Be at least 18 years old (or the equivalent of the age of majority in your country of residence).
Have the capacity to enter into a binding contract and not be prevented from doing so under applicable laws.

The Client also confirms that all registration information submitted to DDA is truthful, accurate, and complete, agreeing to maintain this standard at all times.

If the Client is a minor in their country of residence, registration will not be possible.

Registration, Access to Content, and participation in the Community are only permitted for individuals. Creating an Account and registering on behalf of companies, entities, or organizations is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate expulsion from the Community and the cancellation of the Account as described in ART. 3.2 of these Terms.

Access to the Platform is also prohibited for Clients who have previously been removed or for individuals not authorized to use it under the laws of Switzerland or any other applicable jurisdiction.

BY REGISTERING ON THE PLATFORM OR ACCESSING THE CONTENT IN ANY WAY, THE CLIENT DECLARES THAT THEY ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD, DO NOT REPRESENT A COMPANY, ENTITY, OR ORGANIZATION, AND HAVE NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY REMOVED FROM THE PLATFORM AND ARE NOT PROHIBITED FROM USING IT.

Art. 2 – The service provided by DDA Library

1. Access Options to DDA Library

The Client is granted limited, non-exclusive, and revocable Access to DDA Library and its Content for personal, non-commercial use, based on the Client’s compliance with these Terms (including any other applicable Terms and Conditions).

There are several options for Accessing DDA Library (Subscription): some are provided for free, others require payment before access can be granted and allow Access for a limited time (Pre-paid Subscription), while others require a monthly, annual, or other renewal commitment (Recurring Subscription).

Promotional plans, subscriptions, or special services are provided, including offers of products and services from third parties. DDA is not responsible for the products and services provided by such third parties.

Before purchase, a detailed description of the costs and Content guaranteed for the selected Subscription will be provided (Subscription Plan).

Unless specifically stated otherwise, the fee for full Access to DDA Library and its Content for the duration of one calendar month is set at 59.99 CHF (launch offer subject to change at any time upon communication based on ART 6, point .1), including mandatory supplements of any kind, plus VAT (in accordance with legal requirements and any future amendments; the current VAT rate is 8.1% of the taxable amount).

Access will remain in effect unless and until the Subscription is terminated by the Client or DDA or upon the natural expiration of the prepaid period. The Client agrees not to redistribute or transfer Access or Content from DDA Library.

DDA Library’s Content is licensed, not sold or transferred to the Client, and DDA retains ownership of all Content and all copies thereof even after transfer or use on the Client’s devices. Specifics regarding proprietary rights are referenced in ART. 3.2 of these Terms.

2. Promotional Offers

Promotional offers for paid subscriptions are provided for a specified period without payment or at a reduced rate (Promotional Offer).

Promotional Offer

The Promotional Offer guarantees access to DDA Library at the indicated price (if present) for an initial period, as described in the section “d. Duration and Cancellation” of this ART. 2.2, starting from the moment the Client confirms acceptance of the advertised Promotional Offer by submitting valid payment details accepted by DDA. This period is defined as the “Promotional Period.”
Eligibility

To take advantage of a Promotional Offer, the Client must meet all the conditions listed below, subject to the conditions listed on the webpage describing the Promotional Offer and will be defined as “Eligible Client.”

I. The Client must not already be subscribed to DDA Library.
II. The Client must not have been a subscriber (nor have adhered to a Promotional Offer) of DDA Library.
III. Unless otherwise specified, the Client must provide DDA Library with a currently valid and approved method of payment.
IV. Additional eligibility requirements may be specified and established in the advertised Promotional Offer.
V. The Client can subscribe to a Promotional Offer only once: previous clients cannot re-subscribe to the offer.

VI. The Client meets the age and eligibility requirements described in ART. 1.2 of these Terms.
Availability

The promotional offer must be accepted before the expiration date, if applicable. DDA reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the promotional offer at any time and for any reason. In such a case, any registrations after the promotional offer will not be considered by DDA unless prohibited by law.
Duration and Cancellation

In the case of a Promotional Offer, the corresponding Promotional Period will continue for the indicated period, in accordance with the “c. Availability” section above.
Should the Client not cancel the promotional offer before its expiration, the chosen DDA Library subscription will automatically renew at the end of the Promotional Period. The current monthly price (or based on the renewal method) will be charged using the provided payment method.
If the Client cancels a Promotional Offer during the Promotional Period, they will lose Access to DDA Library. To cancel, the Client must access their Account on Mighty, navigate to the subscription or purchase settings, select the active plan, and follow the cancellation instructions. The Client can cancel their subscription at any time by accessing their Account settings and deactivating their Account.
Use of Devices

The Client is required to use their own computer or mobile device to access the Platform, and at the same time, they must communicate with these devices and utilize the offered storage space. Additionally, the Client is responsible for the costs of fixed or mobile internet connections incurred from third-party providers for using the Platform.

3. Payments and Cancellation

Billing

The Client can purchase a Subscription directly from DDA in the following ways:
• Paid Subscription: involves prepayment of the subscription fee on a monthly or other recurring interval (Subscription Period) communicated to the Client before purchase.
• Pre-paid Subscription: prepayment that allows the user to access DDA Library for a specific period (Pre-paid Period).
The amount of taxes on your DDA Library subscription may vary depending on tax laws at the time of each monthly charge and based on the information you have provided.
The payment will be made to Gerard, the aforementioned professional, and he will issue an invoice for the purchased product.
In case of discrepancies or disputes regarding payments, the Client must contact Gerard, the aforementioned professional, within 30 days of the disputed charge, providing sufficient details to identify the transaction in question.
The Subscription payment will be made via credit card (or prepaid card) through an online payment platform. The Client provides explicit authorization for the automatic withdrawal of the monthly fee from the credit card provided during subscription. The Client guarantees that the credit card information is correct, valid, and up-to-date.
DDA does not store or directly process the Client’s credit card data. All credit card information necessary for processing monthly subscription payments is managed exclusively by the online payment platform indicated at the time of payment, i.e., a third-party certified payment service provider.
This separation ensures that the Client’s sensitive data is processed in accordance with current security standards in the electronic payment industry.
As such, DDA declines all direct responsibility for credit card data security, as this responsibility is entirely assumed by the online payment platform.
The Client is, however, encouraged to review the privacy policy and security measures adopted by the online payment platform to ensure the protection of their financial data.
It is also emphasized that, in the case of suspected fraud or illicit activity related to credit card data, the Client is invited to directly contact the online payment platform and the competent authorities to ensure the protection of their rights and interests.
Price and Tax Changes

DDA may make changes to Subscription prices, including rates for Recurring Subscriptions, Pre-paid Subscriptions, and the Pre-paid Period (for periods not yet paid), to adapt to changes in product offerings and features, business or economic context, or for security, legal, or regulatory reasons.
Such changes will be communicated as described in ART 6, point .1), with at least 30 days’ notice.
Price changes will take effect starting from the subscription period following the date of the change.
Under applicable law, by continuing to use DDA Library after the price change takes effect, the Client will have accepted the new price. If the Client does not accept the price change, they may reject the change by canceling the Subscription before the price change takes effect.
Tax rates are based on the rates applicable at the time of the monthly charge. These amounts may vary over time based on local taxes in the user’s country, state, territory, or even city. Any change in the tax rate will be automatically applied based on the account information provided.
Renewal and Cancellation

Except for Pre-paid Subscriptions, payment to DDA Library will automatically renew at the end of the applicable Subscription Period unless the Subscription is canceled before the end of the current Subscription Period. To cancel the subscription, the Client must access their Account on Mighty, navigate to the subscription or purchase settings, select the active plan, and follow the cancellation instructions. The Client can cancel their subscription at any time by accessing their Account settings and deactivating their Account.
Contact Gerard, the aforementioned professional (gerard@datadrivenaba.com), or one of the other Platform administrators if you need instructions on how to cancel the subscription. The cancellation will take effect the day after the last day of the current Subscription Period, and the Client’s Access to DDA Library will be blocked.
DDA does not provide refunds or credits for partial Subscription Periods (i.e., different from a month) unless expressly stated in these Terms.
To be eligible for a refund, the Client must keep both the Account and billing information up to date.
DDA may, at its discretion, provide a credit as an alternative to a refund.
Right of Withdrawal

The Client who subscribes to a Recurring Subscription has the option to exercise the right of withdrawal within fourteen (14) days from the time of purchase (Withdrawal Period), in compliance with applicable legal regulations.
This means that the Client can decide to cancel the subscription for any reason within this period. However, the Client will have to pay for the use of the Platform up to the time they inform us of their decision to withdraw. Once the Withdrawal Period ends, the Client can no longer exercise the right of withdrawal.
Additionally, the Client consents to DDA automatically charging the subscription fee on a monthly basis (or based on the renewal method) until the subscription is canceled.
The Client who chooses to subscribe to a Pre-paid Subscription has the right, in accordance with applicable laws, to a withdrawal period of fourteen (14) days from the date of purchase. During this period, the Client can decide to cancel the subscription for any reason. However, they are required to pay for the Access to the Platform they have had up to the time they inform us of their intention to withdraw.
The Client consents that, at the end of the pre-paid period, DDA may automatically activate a paid subscription if provided for by the conditions of the Pre-paid Subscription, unless the Client cancels it in advance. Alternatively, the Client may independently subscribe to a paid Subscription at the end of the pre-paid period. In either case, the service will begin immediately after the charge, and with the start of the new service, the Client understands and agrees to waive the right of withdrawal.
To be eligible for a refund, the Client must keep both the Account and billing information up to date.
The right of withdrawal is guaranteed exclusively upon the first subscription to a Subscription. If the Client exercises the right of withdrawal and subsequently subscribes to a new subscription of the same type, this new subscription does not automatically include the right of withdrawal. In this case, what is provided in Art. 3, paragraph c) of these terms applies.
Termination

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, DDA reserves the right, without notice and at its sole discretion, to terminate access to the Platform, Content, or any part of them (or any other services) for the Client, to terminate these Terms, to terminate the license to use the Content (including the publication of Client Content described in ART. 3.3 of these Terms), and to block the Client or prevent them from accessing DDA Library and using it in the future, for any reason, including, by way of example, if:
I. The Client’s use of the Platform violates these Terms or applicable law.
II. The Client uses the Platform in a fraudulent or improper manner.
III. DDA is unable to continue providing access to the Platform due to technical or legitimate administrative reasons. It is DDA’s right to discontinue the provision of services and/or terminate the Client’s license to use the Platform. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the only remedy available to the Client if they are not satisfied with (1) the Platform, (2) the clauses of these Terms, (3) policies or practices adopted by DDA in managing the Platform, or (4) Content or information transmitted through the Platform, is to close their Account, stop using the Platform in its entirety, and request the cancellation of their Subscription.
In the event that the Client subscribes to a Recurring Subscription or a Pre-paid Subscription and DDA terminates the subscription before the Client has fully utilized the Pre-paid Period or the Subscription Period, DDA will refund the unused portion of the period due to the termination. This partial period refund (i.e., a fraction of a month) constitutes the only exception to section “c” of this article.
To be eligible for a refund, the Client must keep both the Account and billing information up to date.

4. Service Limitations and Modifications

We employ accurate methods and appropriate expertise to ensure the proper functioning of the DDA Library and to provide our Clients with a personalized and engaging learning experience. However, it is important to note that our services and their availability may vary based on applicable laws, without any liability towards the Client. For example:

DDA Library may experience temporary interruptions due to technical difficulties, maintenance, testing, or updates, including those necessary to implement changes required by relevant laws and regulatory requirements.
In an effort to continuously develop and improve our Content, we may modify, suspend, or discontinue (either permanently or temporarily) access to DDA Library or parts of it (including specific features, characteristics, content, subscription plans, and promotional offers).
DDA is under no obligation to provide specific Content and may remove documents, videos, podcasts, and other Content without notice.

In case of service interruption, the provisions indicated in section “e” of ART. 2.3 of these Terms will apply.

DDA assumes no responsibility towards the Client, nor any obligation to provide a refund to the Client for interruptions or failures of Internet services or other services caused by actions of governmental authorities, third parties, or events beyond its control.

Additionally, DDA assumes no responsibility for errors, defamation, slander, omissions, falsehoods, obscenity, pornography, or vulgarity to which the Client may be exposed while using DDA Library.

The use of DDA Library by the Client is at their own risk. Additionally, these rules do not constitute an enforceable right for third parties and do not imply a reasonable expectation that DDA Library will exclude content prohibited by these rules.

Additionally, DDA will have the right to use the Client’s name, identity, likeness, and voice, as well as other biographical data, concerning Client Content. Finally, DDA will have the right to monetize DDA Library through the exercise of the rights listed above.
If such Client Content contains the name, identity, likeness, and voice (or other biographical data) of third parties, the Client represents and warrants that they have obtained the appropriate consents and/or licenses to use such elements and that DDA is authorized to use them to the extent specified in these Terms.
Statements and Warranties Related to Client Content

The Client is fully responsible for their Content and the consequences resulting from its publication or dissemination.
Additionally, the Client represents and warrants as follows:
I. They are the author or owner of the Client Content or have sufficient rights and permissions to grant the rights listed here.
II. The Client Content does not contain viruses, adware, spyware, worms, or other malicious code.

IV. The Client Content does not contain non-public “preview” or “beta” versions of software or articles or other confidential information of DDA or third parties unless with prior written authorization. In case of violation of these representations and warranties, DDA reserves all rights and remedies against the Client.
Therefore, the Client agrees to be personally liable for any damages caused to third parties and/or DDA as a result of the Client Content they publish on the Platform.

4. Risk Related to Uploaded Content

DDA takes reasonable security measures to protect Client Content from unauthorized copies and distribution.

However, it cannot guarantee that unauthorized copies, uses, or distributions of Client Content will not occur.

The Client agrees that DDA will not be liable for any unauthorized copies, uses, or distributions of Client Content by third parties and irrevocably waives any claims against DDA related to such unauthorized copies or uses of Client Content.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SECURITY MEASURES ADOPTED BY DDA TO PROTECT USER CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY, CONDITION, ASSURANCE, OR OTHER CLAUSE THAT GUARANTEES THEY WILL BE ABLE TO RESIST ATTEMPTS TO CIRCUMVENT SECURITY MECHANISMS OR THAT SUCH SECURITY MEASURES WILL NOT BE BREACHED, DISABLED, OR OTHERWISE EVADED.

Art. 5 – Issues and Disputes

1. Suspension and Closure of DDA Library

These Terms will continue to apply until terminated by either the Customer or DDA. DDA may terminate these Terms (including any additional terms and conditions incorporated herein) or suspend the Customer’s Access to DDA Library or even just a part of it, as described in section “e” of ART. 2.3.

In the event the Customer terminates these Terms, they agree that DDA is not responsible to the Customer, unless expressly provided in these Terms, and that DDA will not refund amounts already paid by the Customer. The Customer may continue to use the Platform until the expiration of the purchased Subscription Plan.

The Customer may terminate these Terms at any time, in which case they will no longer be able to access or use DDA Library after the expiration of the Subscription Plan. For information on how to terminate the account, contact Gerard, the aforementioned professional (gerard@datadrivenaba.com).

Articles 2 (The DDA Library Service Provided), 3 (Use of DDA Library), 5 (Issues and Disputes), 6 (Information about these Terms), as well as any other article of these Terms that, explicitly or by their nature, must remain in effect even after the termination of these Terms, will survive termination. This is valid regardless of who terminates these Terms.

2. Warranty Exclusions

DDA is committed to providing scientific content based on authoritative sources in a clear and accessible manner. However, it should be noted that both the Platform and its Content are provided as they are and as available, without any explicit, implied, or statutory warranty.

DDA disclaims all other warranties, whether explicit or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, even in relation to the information, Content, or materials.

DDA does not represent or warrant that the Content or information on the Platform is accurate, complete, reliable, up-to-date, or error-free.

DDA disclaims any responsibility for typographical errors or omissions related to texts, images, videos, or audio.

The Customer is responsible for using recognized antivirus software to protect their platform and downloaded content from viruses or other harmful components.

DDA cannot guarantee that the platform or the servers hosting the content are free of viruses or other harmful components. The information and recommendations provided by DDA through the platform or related channels do not constitute an explicit or implied warranty.

DDA makes no representations, nor does it warrant or assume any responsibility for third-party applications (or their content), Customer Content, devices, or any product or service advertised, promoted, or offered by third parties in or through DDA Library or any hyperlinked website.

DDA assumes no responsibility for any transactions between the Customer and third-party providers related to the above. Any information and/or content obtained from DDA does not create any warranty on behalf of DDA.

While using DDA Library, the Customer may access tools to filter content. However, these filters may not completely block certain content, so it is not advisable to rely entirely on them. The validity of this section is determined to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

DDA assumes no responsibility for the application of behavioral procedures or any content shown or described in the Platform’s Content. The Customer decides under their total responsibility whether or not to apply what is shown and described in the Content.

In case of doubts or psychological and/or behavioral issues, it is suggested to refer to a qualified professional. DDA Library does not in any case replace the intervention of a qualified and responsible professional. DDA Library is solely intended to provide Content without any implied and/or explicit application guidance on its use and should not be understood as a guide to solving behavioral and/or psychological problems concerning oneself or one’s relatives.

3. Limitation of Liability and Damages

According to applicable law, the Customer agrees that the only remedy available for any problems or dissatisfaction with DDA Library is the deletion of the Account and cessation of the use of DDA Library.

Furthermore, the Customer acknowledges that DDA has no responsibility or obligation regarding third-party applications or their content available through or in connection with DDA Library. Although relationships with such third-party applications may be governed by separate agreements, the Customer’s only remedy, in relation to DDA Library, for any problems or dissatisfaction with third-party applications or their content, is to uninstall or stop using such third-party applications/services.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

DDA shall not be liable for direct, indirect, consequential, or other damages, including loss of use, loss of profits, or loss of data, arising out of the use or inability to use DDA Library, the Platform, or the Content. This liability includes damages arising from the Customer’s reliance on information provided by DDA, as well as errors, omissions, interruptions, deletion of files or emails, errors, defects, viruses, delays, or malfunctions, regardless of the causes (force majeure, communication malfunctions, thefts, destruction, or unauthorized access to records, programs, or services provided by DDA).
In no event shall DDA’s total liability, whether in contract, warranty, tort, product liability, strict liability, or otherwise, arising from the use or inability to use DDA Library, exceed the amount paid by the Customer to access the Platform in the month corresponding to the date of the claim. Should applicable law prohibit the limitation of such liability, DDA will limit its liability to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

For greater clarity, these Terms do not limit DDA’s liability in the event of fraud, misrepresentation, death, or personal injury to the extent that applicable law prohibits such limitation, and any other liability that, under applicable law, cannot be limited or excluded.

The liability limitations provided also apply to damages suffered by the Customer due to products or services sold or provided on linked sites or by third parties other than DDA Library, which the Customer uses through DDA Library or that are advertised on the Platform, or which are used through linked sites.

4. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Customer agrees to indemnify and hold DDA harmless from and against any direct losses, damages, expenses, costs, and liabilities, including legal fees and expenses incurred or sustained by DDA arising from or related to:

Access, use, or misuse of the Platform.

Any Customer Content posted by the Customer or to which the Customer has contributed.
Any activity in which the Customer engages in or through the use of DDA Library.
The Customer’s violation of any law or the rights of third parties.
Disputes with other Customers or third parties in connection with the use of the Platform.

The Customer agrees to promptly notify Gerard, the aforementioned professional, of any third-party claims relating to DDA Library, and DDA reserves the right, at the Customer’s expense, to assume the defense and exclusive control of any matter for which the Customer is required to indemnify DDA, who agrees to cooperate with DDA in contesting such claims.

DDA will make reasonable efforts to inform the Customer of such claims, actions, or proceedings as soon as it becomes aware of them.

5. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms (and any non-contractual disputes/claims arising out of or in connection with them) are subject to the laws of Switzerland, regardless of choice or conflict of law principles, and must be brought and resolved in a Swiss court in the Canton of Schaffhausen.

Moreover, the Customer and DDA agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Swiss courts in the Canton of Schaffhausen to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising in connection with the Terms (and any non-contractual disputes/claims arising out of or in connection with them).

The parties expressly agree that the place of execution of the contract is Schaffhausen, the workplace of the Data Driven ABA group.

6. Class Action Waiver

WHERE PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE CUSTOMER AND DDA AGREE TO BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

7. Dispute Resolution

Before taking any legal action, the Customer and DDA will seek to resolve any dispute regarding these Terms through out-of-court negotiations in good faith.

In any case, any cause of action or claim that the Customer may have in connection with these Terms or DDA Library must be initiated within 1 month after the cause of action arose and in any case in accordance with applicable laws; otherwise, such cause of action or claim is permanently barred.

Art. 6 – Information About These Terms

Under applicable law, the Customer may have certain rights that cannot be limited by a contract. These terms are not intended to limit those rights in any way.

1. Modifications

DDA may periodically modify these Terms, including any additional terms and conditions of DDA Library, to adapt them to changes in the product offerings and features, business, or economic context, as well as for security, legal, or regulatory reasons.

DDA will notify the Customer of such changes at least 30 days in advance, using any reasonable means, including posting the applicable modified agreement for DDA Library. In the case of material changes, DDA will supplement such notice with communication via email to the address with which the Customer registered with DDA Library or with a popup message within the service or by other means.

In the event of changes to the Terms or other terms and conditions of DDA Library incorporating such changes, those changes will not apply to disputes already existing between DDA and the Customer. This clause does not apply if the Customer was informed otherwise.

Using DDA Library after changes to these Terms are introduced will be considered acceptance of the same. If the Customer does not wish to continue using DDA Library under the updated Terms, they may close their account. Contact Gerard, the aforementioned professional (gerard@datadrivenaba.com), if you need instructions on how to close your account. The effective date at the end of this document indicates the date of the last modification made to the Terms.

2. Entire Agreement

Except as provided in this section or as explicitly agreed in writing between the Customer and DDA, these Terms constitute all the terms and conditions agreed upon between the Customer and DDA and replace any prior agreements related to the subject matter of these Terms, whether written or oral.

3. Severability and Waiver

Unless otherwise specified in these Terms, if any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason or to any extent, the remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected, and that provision will be enforced to the extent permitted by law.

The failure of DDA or any third-party beneficiary to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not waive DDA’s or the third-party beneficiary’s right to do so.

If DDA does not exercise or enforce any right or provision under these Terms, this does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

Waiver of a provision under these Terms will only be effective if expressed in writing and signed by the party waiving the provision.

4. Assignment

DDA has the right to assign one or all of these Terms and to assign or delegate, in whole or in part, its rights or obligations under these Terms. The Customer does not have the right to assign these Terms, in whole or in part, nor to transfer or sublicense their rights under these Terms to third parties.

If, during the use of the DDA Library service, you share data with other members of the community (who may be located in various parts of the world), such data will be shared under your responsibility.

Each community user is still required to comply with applicable data protection regulations.

Art. 5 – Data Transfer Abroad

Since Mighty Software, Inc. is based in the United States, when you register on the Mighty Software, Inc. website, your data is transferred and processed in the United States. To ensure adequate protection of personal data transferred to the United States, standard contractual clauses (SCC) are adopted as provided by the European Commission and the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (IFPDT), in accordance with the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (LPD) and the GDPR.
