TERMS & CONDITIONS
TERMS OF SERVICE Greetings, and welcome to Daybreaker!
We’re excited you decided to join the party 🙂 Daybreaker lives and thrives on your happiness. Indeed, it is our mission to curate and deliver outstanding early-morning experiences to good folks across the globe. As we blaze forth on our mission, we need to make sure that the greater community interacts with our Services in a fair and respectful way, and that Daybreaker can continue to throw awesome events while keeping the lawyers off our backs (*sorry, lawyers). This verbose set of rules and requirements helps us accomplish those goals.
We encourage you to carefully review our Terms of Service.
If you have any questions, thoughts, or comments about any of these terms, feel free to give us a holler: [email protected]
For our policies on personal information (email addresses, city of event attendance, etc.) please see our Statement on Privacy here. Please feel free to ask any questions at: [email protected]
By accessing any of our Services, you fully acknowledge and unconditionally agree to all of the following terms and conditions.
1. There are a few words and phrases that you’ll see repeatedly throughout our Terms of Service, including in the preceding introduction. Here’s an explanation of those terms:
a. Daybreaker LLC (also “Daybreaker”, “we”, “us”, “Company” and “our”) is a New York limited liability company dedicated to providing morning-based events, activities and entertainment.
b. Daybreaker’s “Affiliates” include our executives, employees, officers, contactors, consultants, attorneys, advisers, board members, directors, joint ventures, parents, subsidiaries, successors, assigns, and any controlling and/or acquiring individual and/or entity and his/her/its affiliates.
c. “You” (also “your” and “user”) refers to you, the individual, as well as any entity or other individual on whose behalf you’re acting.
d. “Services” refer to any and all of Daybreaker’s websites, social media accounts, in-person events, emails, text and SMS messages, feeds (e.g. Real Simple Syndication feeds, Atom feed), ticket sales, merchandising efforts, promotions, advertisements, software, programs, features, systems, platforms, and applications.
e. “User Content” refers to any text, photos, images, video, audio, and multimedia you create, post, provide, upload, send, and/or share in connection with our Services. This includes photos you take at our events and share on social media. User Content specifically does not include any user passwords, personally identifying information, or financially sensitive information – those items are subject to their own rules, as explained in our Statement on Privacy – unless such information appears (against our recommendation) in a public-facing, photo, image, item of text, audio file, video, or multimedia item.

3. Basic Standards of User Conduct
a. Common Sense Wins. If you’re down with Daybreaker, you’re probably pretty cool. Just use your common sense and act like a decent human being – our Standards of Conduct should be easy to follow. Here are 5 Simple Guidelines that will help you on your way:
i. Treat your fellow Daybreakers kindly + respectfully. Golden Rule, yada yada yada.

iii. Don’t circulate User Content that might be improper and/or objectionable. If you think a post might be in poor taste, trust that instinct.
iv. Don’t try to breach our security, disrupt our technology, or hijack our I.P. We have no tolerance for \imitators.
v. We run an environment dedicated to a healthy lifestyle. No drugs or alcohol.

i. a violation of a law;

ii. No Interference. Balance and concentration are vital when spinning plates.

Neither Daybreaker nor any of its Affiliates makes any representations or warranties regarding any third party content, web site, application, or other service with which you come into contact via our Services. Furthermore, we do not support, affiliate with, or endorse any third party or its content, web site(s), application(s), or other service(s) unless we explicitly state otherwise in writing. ii. You agree that neither Daybreaker nor any of its Affiliates is not responsible for any claims, obligations, liabilities, costs, debt, expenses, losses, damages, charges, fees, penalties, or fines, arising out of or relating a third party and/or its content, web site(s), application(s) and/or other service(s). These third parties are wholly and completely responsible for their own content, web site(s), application(s), and/or other service(s). iii. We do not examine or audit any third party services or offerings. You are solely responsible for evaluating any third party services and offerings – you access and/or use these services and offerings at your own risk. Therefore, we encourage you to carefully review all third party terms and conditions, privacy policies, operational histories, and security protocols.
g. Injunctive Relief. You agree that under no circumstances will you seek to enjoin or restrain Daybreaker or any of its Affiliates from providing Services, including without limitation operating the website dybrkr.com, selling tickets to events, selling merchandise in-person or online, running events of any type or manner, running targeted ads and promotions, and/or staying in touch with our community and its individual members. You acknowledge and agree that you are not entitled to injunctive relief, rescissions, or any other equitable remedy under this Agreement.
h. Affiliate Ads & Marketing. Daybreaker needs to make money, just like everyone else. We reserve the right to run advertisements and promotions through our Services, and to receive a contingency payment, structured payment, bonus and/or commission in connection with our ads and promotions. i. Non-Endorsement & Non-Responsibility. Your words and actions are yours and yours alone. Daybreaker does not support or endorse any User Content or any other third party statements or interactions arising out of or relating to our Services; any User Content and any third party statements and interactions solely reflect the statements, positions, and opinions of the person or persons creating the User Content, making the statement, and/or engaging in the interaction.
j. Construed in Favor of Daybreaker. Everybody makes mistakes, and we are certainly no different. Insofar as these Terms of Service include any errors or ambiguities related to spelling, grammar, or syntax – or any other clear errors or ambiguities – these errors and ambiguities shall be construed in a light most favorable to Daybreaker. Specifically, without limitation: i. Any ambiguities, inconsistencies, misuses, or uncertainties around the usage of the words “and” vs. “or” vs. “and/or” shall be construed in favor of protecting the rights, interests, liability exposure of Daybreaker. ii. Our use of the word “including” shall not be an exclusive term – but shall mean “including without limitation” – unless otherwise noted.
9. Miscellaneous but Important
a. Liquidated Damages. When we say that we want to preserve a constructive community for our users, we mean business. Daybreaker reserves the right to recover – as liquidated damages (i.e. not a penalty) – a $2,000 “Prohibited Commercial Activity Charge” for each instance of unauthorized commercial activity in connection with our Services. (For example, someone who posts 10 comments which advertise discount Air Jordans would draw $20,000 in Prohibited Commercial Activity Charges.) You acknowledge that the Prohibited Commercial Activity Charge is a fair and good-faith estimate of our damages and losses, and that you agreed on this amount with Daybreaker in advance of any dispute given the difficult of calculating actual harm and losses (e.g. lost opportunity, harm to reputation). You agree that you will pay any Prohibited Commercial Activity Charge within 14 days of receipt of an invoice from Daybreaker.
b. Force Majeure. Daybreaker shall hold no liability or responsibility for any harms, damages, penalties, losses, costs, expenses, fees, or issues that result from factors beyond the scope of our reasonable control. This includes without limitation, acts of God, weather, the shutdown of civic transportation and/or utilities, strikes and protests, acts of warfare and/or terrorism, and actions taken by government agencies. (For more information about the cancellation and/or rescheduling of events, please view our Event Terms)
c. Severability. In case you were ever wondering, a severability clause acts kind of like a line-item veto provision. If any of the Terms of Service – or any portion thereof – are held unenforceable, the impact of that unenforceability (i.e. limitation or exclusion of terms) will be construed as narrowly as possible; moreover, the remainder of the Terms of Service herein – and all other portions thereof – shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Your jurisdiction may not allow the disclaimer of certain warranties or limitations of certain types of damages. Thus, it is possible that portions of these Terms of Service may not apply to you. However, the limitation or exclusion of a particular disclaimer, restriction, limitation, term, or condition shall in no manner impact any other provision herein, nor shall it affect the validity or force of that disclaimer, restriction, limitation, term, or condition in other jurisdictions.
d. Translation. Any translation of these Terms of Service is merely provided as a convenience. Any discrepancy or dispute involving a translated version of these Terms of Service and the English version of these Terms of Service shall be resolved in favor of the English version.
e. Non-Waiver. We don’t think you’ll mind us giving you a “get of jail free card.” You acknowledge and agree that any failure by Daybreaker to require your strict adherence to any term or condition herein shall in no manner be construed as a waiver of any right by Daybreaker, nor shall such a failure be construed to remove or dilute the effect of any term, condition, or requirement herein stated. In other words, we may enforce and/or exercise our rights under these Terms of Service as we deem fit, without having to waive them at any point.
f. Entire Agreement. These Terms of Service – along with the incorporated Statement on Privacy and Event Terms – represent the entire agreement between you and Daybreaker with respect to your access to and use of our Services. These terms and conditions supersede any conflicting agreements or terms or conditions– however and whenever established – between you and Daybreaker, unless Daybreaker explicitly states otherwise. We reject any term or condition, however and whenever set forth, that conflicts with any term or condition herein listed. You hereby agree that any term or condition you set forth, however and whenever set forth, that conflicts with any term or condition herein listed shall be void and of no force or effect, regardless of any statement or indication to the contrary.
g. Choice of Law & Venue. All disputes will be handled in New York, NY. Any claim, dispute, suit, matter, or controversy arising out of or relating to Daybreaker, our Services and/or these Terms of Service will be construed and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. You agree that claims, disputes, cause of actions, and proceedings against Daybreaker must commence within one year of when the cause of action arises and shall be submitted exclusively to the jurisdiction of a state or federal court located New York, NY. You hereby waive any defense or claim of lack of personal jurisdiction, the inappropriateness of venue, or forum non conveniens. You acknowledge and agree that this provision is not intended to, in any manner, limit or negate the force or effect of the immediately subsequent provision entitled “Arbitration of Claims.”
h. Arbitration of Claims. Arbitration is a great way to avoid a protracted legal dispute. Any claim, dispute, suit, matter, or controversy arising out of or relating to Daybreaker, our Services and/or these Terms of Service may, at Daybreaker’s sole election, be settled exclusively and finally by arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules created by the American Arbitration Association and before a sole arbitrator. Under no circumstance shall punitive damages be awarded in the arbitration. Any award rendered in such arbitration proceedings shall be final and binding on each of the parties, and judgment may be entered thereon in any court of competent jurisdiction. Furthermore, you agree that, prior to taking any legal action against Daybreaker, you will seek negotiate in good faith with Daybreaker and undertake reasonable efforts to reach a mutually satisfactory conclusion to your dispute.
i. Class Action Waiver. We can’t let a few angry users gang-up to send us out of business. You may only pursue a claim, dispute, suit, matter, or controversy arising out of or relating to Daybreaker, our Services and/or these Terms of Service in an individual capacity. You agree that you shall not be involved with any class or representative proceeding – or otherwise participate as a lead plaintiff or class member, in a putative or certified class – involving any claim, proceeding, action, controversy, or dispute arising out of or relating to Daybreaker, our Services, our Affiliates, and/or any agreement you may have formed with us.
j. Export Control Laws. To be clear, United States export control laws regulate the export and re-export of technology originating in the United States. This includes the electronic transmission of information and software to foreign countries and to certain foreign nationals. As with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and standards, you are agree to abide by all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and standards concerning export control.

Counter-Claims of Infringement. If you believe you are the subject of an improper infringement claim, please notify Daybreaker by providing us with the following information in writing to the address listed below: (1) the physical or electronic signature of either the copyright owner or of a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf; (2) a detailed description of the copyrighted work you claim has been subject to an improper infringement claim; (3) identification of the URL or other specific location from where the allegedly infringing material has been removed, modified, and/or deleted; (4) your name, address, telephone number and, if you have one, your e-mail address; (5) the following statement: “I hold a legitimate, good faith belief that the allegedly offending material, as herein described, has been subject to complaint, removed, or rendered inaccessible as the result of misidentification, misfeasance, malfeasance, and/or mistake. All of the factual information I have provided in connection with this document is true and correct. I consent to the jurisdiction of the District Court in the United States judicial district in which I live – or, to the extent I reside outside the United States, in the Southern District of New York– and will accept service of process from the person or the agent of the person who sent the initial notice of infringement to Daybreaker. All attestations herein are given under penalty of perjury.”
