SERVICE
Samsung Daily shows content from certain apps and web services as cards on the leftmost page (-1 page) of your Home screen. Certain services may include content from Samsung or its partners. Users can scroll through the screen and easily find various content. For example, if you have a favorite card that you want to keep on the screen, you can set the order of cards in the Card menu. You can use Samsung Daily just by unlocking your device, without signing in to your Samsung account or any other accounts. If you want to customize how you use Samsung Daily, you need to sign in to your Samsung account. You may also need to sign in to accounts for partner services for some cards.

11. Limitation of Liability
11.1 Samsung and You do not limit or exclude liability for any types of loss or damage for which liability cannot, under applicable law, be excluded or limited, to the extent that the applicable law prevents such exclusion or limitation, or to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction judges that such an exclusion or limitation would be ineffective under applicable law.
11.2 Subject only to 11.1, Samsung and its affiliates and providers shall not be liable for loss, damage or liability under contract (including negligence), laws on third party obligations (including ‘tort’ and negligence claims) or statutory obligations or any other legal basis whatsoever, even if Samsung was specifically put on notice of the risk of such loss (i) where the loss is indirect, incidental, indirect, special, consequential, special or comprises exemplary or punitive damages, or (ii) for any loss of profit, loss of business, loss of opportunity, loss of data or (iii) where the loss relates to errors, omissions or interruptions, computer viruses, connection or connectivity problems or network charges.

(i.e., the statutorily imposed duty to refrain from manufacturing and selling dangerous products, with the possibility of punitive damages for violations thereof); (iii) the New Jersey Punitive Damages Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.9, et seq. (i.e., the statutory right to pursue punitive damages in the event of harm caused by actual malice, wanton and willful disregard, reckless indifference); (iv) the New Jersey Uniform Commercial Code (i.e., a comprehensive statutory regime governing the rights and duties of buyers and sellers with respect to contracts for the sale of goods, with the possibility of damages for economic and property harm); and (v) SAMSUNG’s failure to reasonably protect against harm arising from certain criminal acts of third parties (e.g., computer hacking and identity theft, as regulated by the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission, and as governed by the New Jersey Identity Theft Protection Act, N.J.S.A.56:8-161, et seq., and the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, N.J.S.A. 56:8-3, et seq.).

12. Indemnification
Unless prohibited by applicable law, You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Samsung, its affiliates, its contractors, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities (including legal fees and expenses) arising out of your use of the SERVICE, your violation of the rights of any third party, or any breach of these TOS.
13. Dispute Resolution
13.1 Choice of Law. These TOS, including all revisions and amendments thereto, are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York, without regard to its conflict or choice of law principles.
13.2 Arbitration. By installing or otherwise using the SERVICE, you unconditionally consent and agree that: (i) any dispute (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) you may have against any Samsung entity, the officers, directors, agents and employees of any Samsung entity (the “Samsung Entity(ies)”) arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with the SERVICE or the determination of the scope or applicability of this clause, will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, and not by a court or jury. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS and conducted before a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of JAMS (which are available online at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 1-800-352-5267); (ii) this clause is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16; (iii) the arbitration shall be held in New York City, New York; (iv) the arbitrator’s decision shall be controlled by the terms and conditions of the TOS and any other agreements referenced herein that you have agreed to in connection with the SERVICE; (v) the arbitrator shall decide all issues of interpretation and application of this arbitration provision, shall apply New York law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; (vi) ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL NOT BE COMBINED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH A DISPUTE INVOLVING ANY OTHER PERSON’S OR ENTITY’S PRODUCT OR CLAIM, AND SPECIFICALLY, WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, SHALL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES PROCEED AS PART OF A CLASS ACTION; (vii) the arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive damages against you or any Samsung Entity; (viii) in the event that the administrative fees and deposits that must be paid to initiate arbitration against any Samsung Entity exceed Fifty US Dollars (US$50), and you are unable (or not required under the rules of JAMS) to pay any fees and deposits that exceed this amount, Samsung shall pay the remainder of such fees. In addition, if you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Samsung will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost prohibitive; and (ix) with the exception of subsection (vi) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the rules of JAMS, the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subsection (vi) above is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor Samsung shall be entitled to arbitrate the dispute. YOU MAY OPT OUT OF THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION BY PROVIDING NOTICE TO SAMSUNG NO LATER THAN 30 CALENDAR DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU INSTALL THE SERVICE. To opt out, you must send notice by e-mail to optout@sea.samsung.com, with the subject line: “ARBITRATION OPT OUT.” You must include in the opt out e-mail (a) your name and address; (b) the date on which the Service was installed; and (c) the IMEI or MEID or Serial Number, as applicable, for the device on which the Service was installed. Alternatively, you may opt out by calling 1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864) no later than 30 calendar days from the date you first install the Service and providing the same information. These are the only two forms of notice that will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution provision. For more information on JAMS and/or the rules of JAMS, visit their website at www.jamsadr.com.
14. Survival

15. Headings
The headings contained in these TOS are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of these TOS.
16. No Waiver
The failure of SAMSUNG to enforce at any time any of the provisions of these TOS, or the failure by SAMSUNG to require at any time performance by you of any of the provisions of these TOS, shall in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provisions, nor in any way affect the right of SAMSUNG to enforce such provision thereafter. The express waiver by SAMSUNG of any provision, condition or requirement of these TOS shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.
17. Entire Agreement
These TOS are the entire agreement between you and Samsung relating to the SERVICE and supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals and representations with respect to the SERVICE or any other subject matter covered by these TOS. If any provision of these TOS is held to be void, invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
18. Electronic Communications
