Welcome to Sawyer, a marketplace for all children’s activities and adventures. Please read these Terms of Use (the “Agreement” or “Terms”) carefully, as they contain the legal terms and conditions that govern your use and access of the website, http://hisawyer.com/ (the “Site”) and the mobile application (“App,” collectively with the Site, “Sawyer” or the “Platform”). This Agreement governs your use of Sawyer and constitutes a legally-binding agreement between each user (“you” or “your”) and See Jane Run, Inc. d/b/a Sawyer (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”; collectively with “you” or “your,” the “parties”). By simply accessing or using Sawyer, including just browsing our Site, you are agreeing to our Terms, so please read carefully! If you do not agree to these Terms or any other policies, including our Privacy Policy, do not access or use Sawyer. If you have any questions about this Agreement please contact us at info@hisawyer.com.
PLEASE NOTE THESE TERMS CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER THAT REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE ALL DISPUTES YOU HAVE WITH US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
By using (or even just browsing) our Site, downloading our App, or uploading data or information to Sawyer (“Content”), you’re agreeing to the Terms and our associated Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree with the Terms, please refrain from using our Platform.
We only permit individuals who are at least 18 years old and can form legally binding contracts with us to use Sawyer. If you are under 18 years old and would like to use Sawyer, you can, but only if a parent or legal guardian who is at least 18 years old supervises you. In all cases, the adult would be the user and is responsible for any and all activity.
By using Sawyer, you represent and warrant that you meet all eligibility requirements outlined in these Terms. We reserve the right to refuse to let certain people access or use Sawyer and the right to change our eligibility criteria.
You can only use Sawyer to the extent the laws of your jurisdiction or the United States do not bar you from doing so. Please make sure these Terms are in compliance with all laws, rules, and regulations that apply to you.
If you plan to use Sawyer or any of Sawyer’s software tools, including but not limited to the Sawyer calendar software (“Software Tools”) for any commercial purposes, i.e. if you are an independent provider of children’s classes and activities, a venue, or other third party (individually a “Provider,” collectively the “Providers”) your use of the Platform is subject to our Business Terms of Service[JE1] .
We know your personal information is important to you, so it’s important to us. Our Privacy Policy details how your information is used when you use our Platform, and it’s also a part of our Terms, so please carefully read it at here[JE2] .
On Sawyer, we allow various Providers to post individual classes, semester-long classes, camps, and other children’s activities (each an “Activity” and collectively “Activities”) for you and your child to enjoy. You don’t need to create an account on Sawyer in order to browse through our Activities. However, if you want to view a specific Activity, or sign-up for an Activity through Sawyer, you may need to create an account.
Sawyer powers Providers registration, check-out and payments systems. To book a class, you will be adding your account information to the Provider’s contacts as well as to Sawyer. To place an order on a provider’s site who we partner with, you will be adding your name, email, child’s name, birthdate, address, primary phone, credit card as well as other information requested by the Provider. This information is stored in the Sawyer database. If you use the same account to buy class at another provider within the Sawyer eco-system, all information may be accessible with the other provider (except your credit card).
In order to create an account for Sawyer you’ll need to provide us with your email address, phone number, and username. You may also be required to provide your child’s name and birthday, as well as your address and billing information for any payments. By creating an account, you’re agreeing to a few common sense rules and acknowledgements:
· Be honest with us. By creating an account, you’re agreeing to provide accurate and complete information about yourself. It’s not OK to use false information or impersonate another person or company through your account.
· Be respectful. We’re trying to build a supportive community. Therefore, we ask that you respect others in the community. This will allow our community to continue to flourish. If we find out that you are negatively impacting the experience of fellow Sawyer users, we reserve the right to terminate your account.
· You’re responsible for your account. You’re solely responsible for any activity on your account. Your accounts are not transferable. If you’re sharing an account with other people (e.g., if you’re booking classes on behalf of children other than your own), the person whose email information is on the account will ultimately be responsible for all activity.
By creating an account with Sawyer, you automatically opt in to receive email communications regarding Sawyer. Some of those emails may relate to Activities that you register for on Sawyer. Other emails may be promotional in nature. While you cannot opt-out of transactional emails—such as order confirmations, invoices, and specific communication about your classes—if you book an Activity, you can opt-out of receiving our promotional emails by clicking an unsubscribe link found at the bottom of our promotional emails.
You’re responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access Sawyer and for any activities or actions under your password. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols) with your account. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above.
Please contact info@hisawyer.com to answer any questions you have about signing up for and registering an account with Sawyer.
By creating an account with Sawyer, or using our Platform, you are not creating an agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchisee relationship with our Company. You further acknowledge that by registering for an Activity through Sawyer, no confidential, fiduciary, contractually implied, or other relationship is created with us other than pursuant to these Terms.
By booking a class or activity on hisawyer.com you are responsible for paying any and all applicable fees for the Activities, as indicated on Sawyer at the time of registration.
Generally, our fees are nonrefundable. We may, at our discretion, provide a refund to customers under certain circumstances. Please email info@hisawyer.com for consideration. If refunded, we reserve the right to charge you a fee to cover the cost of any Activity you may have attended prior to cancellation. Any additional discounts or refunds that we may choose to provide are in our sole discretion and do not entitle you to any future discounts or refunds for similar instances in the future.
We reserve the right to adjust our prices at any time. If we ever need to change our prices, we will let you know either through Sawyer or email.
You may change your payment information at any time by logging onto Sawyer and going to the "My Account" page. If for some reason a bill is not successfully settled and you do not edit your payment method or cancel your account (see, “Cancellation of Membership” below), you nonetheless remain responsible for any uncollected amounts, authorizing us to continue billing your payment method, as it may be updated, including if you attempt to create a new account. This may result in a change to your payment billing dates. If we cannot charge your account, we reserve the right, but are not obligated, to terminate your access to Sawyer or any portion thereof.
Although we recommend never registering for an Activity unless you are sure you can attend, we know that sometimes things come up. Each Activity is subject to the cancellation policy of the respective Provider, and specific cancellation policies can be found under each respective Activity's details which can be found under your Sawyer ‘My Account’ page after your registration for the respective Activity.[JE4] We recommend reviewing the cancellation policy of each Activity and Provider before registering for an Activity. Any and all cancellations must be made in the manner laid out in the Activity description. If you do not cancel an Activity as required by its respective cancellation policy, and you or your child does not attend the class, we reserve the right to charge you the full amount that the Provider charges for such class and/or the applicable cancellation fees. We also reserve the right to terminate your account.
Some of our Providers may charge equipment or other amenity fees for Activities. You are responsible for paying those fees directly to the respective Provider when you attend the Activity, unless otherwise notified beforehand. Any equipment or other amenity fees are independent of our charges for a subscription plan, Pack, or to register for an Activity listed on Sawyer.
You are also responsible for all third party charges and fees associated with connecting and using Sawyer, including fees such as Internet service provider fees, payment processing fees, telephone and computer equipment charges, sales tax, and any other fees necessary to access Sawyer.
We often utilize links and other tools to connect users to third party services and websites, such as Providers, advertisers, special offers, classes, camps, or other events or Activities that are not owned or controlled by Sawyer (individually a “Third Party Service,” collectively the “Third Party Services”). We have no control over the content and policies of these Third Party Services, and in no event shall we be held responsible or liable for the accuracy, reliability, or currentness of any third party’s content or policies. Users who access or use Third Party Services through Sawyer are solely responsible for complying with the terms and policies of these third parties.
In no event shall a description or reference to a third party’s product or service (including, but not limited to, providing a description or reference via hyperlink) be construed as an endorsement of such third party products or services by us. We retain the exclusive right to add to, modify, or cancel the availability of any Third Party Service.

By signing up for a Sawyer account and enrolling in a subscription plan, purchasing Packs, or registering for an Activity you acknowledge and agree, on behalf of yourself, your heirs, personal representatives and/or assigns that you are aware of these risks which include, but are not limited to, property damage, illness, and bodily injury or death. You acknowledge that some of these risks cannot be eliminated and you specifically assume the risk of injury or harm to you or your child. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to consult with your child’s primary care physician prior to participating in an Activity and to determine whether an Activity is appropriate for your child.

WHETHER THE DISPUTE IS HEARD IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, THE PARTIES WILL NOT COMMENCE AGAINST THE OTHER A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.
