Terms of Use

Welcome to KnowHow!

We’re the team behind the website located at https://tryknowhow.com/ (the “website”) and any related or associated subdomains and the KnowHow mobile application available on various platforms (the “app”). Both the website and the app are owned by KnowHow. KnowHow is owned and operated by Manifest Labs Inc. (referred to as “KnowHow”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).

KnowHow is a cloud-based software application designed to empower organizations of all sizes. KnowHow is built to streamline your operations, improve communication, and ultimately enhance workforce success.

These terms of use (referred to as “terms”) are important. They govern your use of our website, app and associated services (collectively may be referred to as “services”). By using them, you’re agreeing to be bound by these terms. So, please take a moment to read them carefully. If you don’t agree with any part, please don’t use the website, app or any associated services.

To use our website and app, you must be at least eighteen (18) years old. By accessing and using them, you are confirming that you meet this requirement and that you accept these terms. These terms are a legally binding agreement between you and Manifest Labs Inc. doing business as KnowHow, governed by Canadian law.

Before you can use the services, we may require your affirmative consent to these terms. This means that you must agree to these terms before we enable you to use our platform, app, or services.

Throughout these terms, “KnowHow,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Manifest Labs Inc., located at Suite 2400, 525 8 Ave SW, Calgary AB, Canada, T2P 1G1. The terms “you” or “your” refer to you, the user. If you don’t agree to these terms, you shouldn’t access or use our website, app, or services.

Please take note of Section 19 in these terms, which outlines how disputes between you and us are resolved. This section includes an arbitration agreement, which generally requires disputes to be settled through binding arbitration, with limited exceptions. If you do not opt out of the arbitration agreement: i) You will only be able to pursue claims against us on an individual basis, not as part of a class or representative action; ii) You are forfeiting your right to seek relief in a court of law and to have a jury trial for your claims.

Any dispute or claim related to your use of the website, the app or associated services will be governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada, without considering any principles that apply the laws of other jurisdictions. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this agreement. By accepting these terms, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the provincial and federal courts in the Province of Alberta for any dispute or claim arising from or related to these terms.

If you're accepting these terms on behalf of a corporation or other entity, you confirm that you have the necessary authority to enter into these terms on behalf of that entity and to bind it to these terms.

Please be aware that these terms may change at any time, solely at KnowHow's discretion. You can access the current version of these terms by visiting the "Terms of Use" link on the website. When significant changes occur, we'll notify you via email and/or in-app notifications. We'll also update the "Last Updated" date at the top of the terms. Non-material changes, like clarifications, and new terms for features or services become effective when posted.

‍

Material changes to the terms will be effective immediately for new users and, for existing users, either thirty (30) days after notice is provided or upon your acceptance of the updated terms, whichever comes first. KnowHow may require your consent to update terms before allowing further use of the website, app or services. If you disagree with any changes or these terms, please discontinue your use of the website, app or associated services. Otherwise, continued use will imply acceptance of these terms. Please remember to check the website regularly for the most up-to-date terms. 

‍

1. THE SERVICES.

a) The Services. Within the services, KnowHow provides users with access to step-by-step guidance, instructions, how-tos, and processes across multiple devices. The underlying hardware, software, network storage, and related technology necessary to run the services are provided by KnowHow and its third-party vendors and hosting partners.

b) Your Privacy. At KnowHow, safeguarding our users' privacy is of utmost importance. For detailed information on how we handle your personally identifiable information, please review our Privacy Policy available at: https://tryknowhow.com/privacy.html. By using the website, the app, or associated services, you are giving your explicit consent to collection and processing of your personal information and other data as described in our Privacy Policy. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the processing of your personal information, please contact us at support@tryknowhow.com.

c) Additional Terms. Your use of the website, app or associated services may be subject to additional terms, policies, rules, product documentation, published materials, or guidelines that may be posted on or linked from the website, the app or associated services, and are collectively referred to as the "Additional Terms." These Additional Terms may be incorporated by reference into these terms and may be amended by KnowHow from time to time. In case of any inconsistency between the Additional Terms and these terms, the Additional Terms shall prevail.

d) Account Registration. To access certain features of the website, app or associated services, you must provide your full legal name, a valid email address, and any other information requested during the signup process. You agree to maintain accurate and up-to-date information about yourself. If you choose to register through social networking services ("SNSs") or other platforms, any personal information provided will be used and stored in accordance with KnowHow’s Privacy Policy.

e) Account Ownership. If you register for the website, app or associated services on behalf of a business organization, that organization will become the legal and beneficial owner of the account. Regardless of whether you register as an individual or on behalf of an organization, the billing contact person will be designated as the default account owner (referred to as the “Account Owner”). The Account Owner will possess specific rights within the account, including the ability to cancel the account during the term of the agreement, manage user access, and appoint administrators. However, it's essential to understand that the term "Account Owner" does not imply ownership rights or any other property interest in the account, even if you are designated as such. All rights to the account are and shall remain owned by KnowHow. While the Account Owner can appoint a new Account Owner if necessary, in the event of a dispute over account access, KnowHow reserves the right to request documentation to confirm ownership. Such documentation may include a scanned copy of your business license, government-issued photo ID, or other relevant information as determined by KnowHow.

KnowHow retains the sole discretion to determine the rightful Account Owner and may transfer account ownership accordingly. If there is uncertainty regarding the rightful Account Owner, KnowHow reserves the right to temporarily disable the account until the dispute is resolved between the parties involved.

f) Third-Party Accounts. If you access the services through social networking services (SNSs), you may link your account with third-party accounts. By allowing KnowHow to access your third-party account, you confirm your entitlement to disclose login information and grant access. KnowHow may access, make available, and store any content provided to and stored in your third-party account ("SNS Content"). This content will be available through your account on the website, the app or the services. Please note that your relationship with third-party service providers associated with your third-party accounts is governed solely by your agreements with them and KnowHow disclaims any liability for personally identifiable information provided to it by such third-party service providers. You are solely responsible for any costs and charges associated with your use of any third-party accounts, not KnowHow. While KnowHow facilitates the integration of these third-party accounts for your convenience, their inclusion does not imply our endorsement or recommendation of them. Any transactions or interactions you engage in with third parties while using the website, the app or the services are solely between you and the respective third party. KnowHow does not actively review any SNS Content for accuracy, legality, or non-infringement. As such, we cannot be held responsible for any SNS Content posted on the website, app or through associated services. 

 

2. FEES, PAYMENTS, REFUNDS, UPGRADING, AND DOWNGRADING.  

a) Fee Information. You can find the current fees for registered Users in your account's billing section under “Settings”. Occasionally, we provide a free trial of the services, allowing access for a duration decided by KnowHow. A valid credit card is necessary for paying accounts. If you don't cancel a recurring (e.g., monthly, quarterly, or annual) paid account before the trial period concludes, billing begins on the day following the trial. Canceling before the trial period ends stops services access without charges. Please be informed that KnowHow may utilize third-party payment service providers, such as Stripe (https://stripe.com/), for the collection of payments. This means that when making payments for subscriptions or services, transactions may be processed through these trusted third-party platforms to ensure efficient and secure payment processing. KnowHow may also utilize alternative payment methods such as ACH transfers or checks as deemed necessary.

b) Automatic Renewal. Your subscription will automatically renew unless terminated per Section 17 below. Following your initial subscription period and subsequent ones, your subscription will auto-renew on the first day after the period ends (each a “Renewal Commencement Date”) for an additional equivalent period, at KnowHow’s then-current subscription price. You acknowledge that your account will be subject to automatic renewal unless: (i) for monthly subscriptions, you cancel before the Renewal Commencement Date, and (ii) for quarterly or annual subscriptions, you cancel at least thirty (30) days prior to the Renewal Commencement Date (or, if notified by KnowHow of automatic renewal, within thirty (30) days of the notice), by contacting a KnowHow representative or adjusting seats in the Billing Section. The automatic renewal terms may vary depending on your location. The following terms apply in general, but we strive to comply with all applicable regional automatic renewal notice requirements. In the event of a conflict between these terms and the laws applicable to you, the laws applicable to your region will prevail.

c) Billing, Changes to Service Tiers & Cancellations.  The services are billed monthly, quarterly, or annually in advance, with fees considered non-refundable. We do not provide refunds or credits for partial months of services, upgrades, downgrades, or unused months with an active account. To ensure fairness, no exceptions will be made. All fees exclude taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, for which you are responsible. Please be advised that in instances where User opts to make payments via checks, any associated fees arising from postage or bank transactions shall be the sole responsibility of the User. Such fees will not be deducted from or transferred to KnowHow under any circumstances. When upgrading your account, a prorated charge will be immediately processed using your provided payment method. Downgrading your account will adjust billing at the end of your agreed-upon term, typically a twelve-month period. Please note that downgrading may result in loss of User Content, features, or account capacity, for which KnowHow assumes no liability.

If you choose to cancel the services before the conclusion of your current billing cycle, your account will remain active until the end of the cycle. At the end of this cycle, the cancellation will take effect, and you will not be charged for the subsequent billing period. Additionally, you will lose access to your account from the end of the current billing cycle onwards.

Services prices, including monthly subscription plan fees, may change with fourteen (14) days’ notice provided by email or in-app notification. Your continued use of the services after the price change constitutes acceptance of the updated amount. If you have any charge disputes, you must notify KnowHow within thirty (30) days of the charge date, or within any longer period as required by law.

d) Collection Costs. Please note that you will be responsible for covering all expenses associated with collecting any outstanding amounts owed under these Terms of Use, in addition to the principal amounts owed. These collection costs may include legal fees, expenses related to arbitration or court proceedings, fees charged by collection agencies, applicable interest, and any other associated costs. We appreciate your cooperation in settling any outstanding balances.

3. CONTENT.

a) User Content and Other Materials. All content, including information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, or other materials, shared on the website, app or services by our users (collectively referred to as "User Content”) is the sole responsibility of the users themselves.

16. SECURITY.

Security Measures and User Responsibilities. KnowHow implements a robust security program, comprising administrative, technical, organizational, and physical measures, to protect your data (including your User Content) from unauthorized access, disclosure, and loss. However, it's important to note that internet communications may lack complete security, and KnowHow cannot guarantee the absolute protection of data transmitted to or from the website, app or associated services against interception by third parties.

‍

You are responsible for creating and maintaining a strong password for accessing the services. We recommend using a unique password specifically for your KnowHow user account. If you create an account on behalf of a corporation or entity, you are accountable for the actions of any authorized administrative users and any resulting payment obligations. User accounts are meant for individual use only and should not be shared among multiple users. KnowHow reserves the right to limit access to a user account if there is evidence of account sharing.

‍

KnowHow disclaims liability for any losses or damages resulting from non-compliance with these security measures. We strongly advise all users to ensure the complexity of their system passwords. Consider implementing additional security measures like two-factor authentication or Social Sign-on services and refrain from sharing passwords with others.

Account Security and Fraud Prevention.  KnowHow utilizes third-party fraud prediction and detection services to help identify potential threats such as unauthorized account access and fraudulent transactions. These services are further described in the Security Service Terms which form an integral part of this Agreement and certain aspects of these services as they relate to personal information may also be found in our Privacy Policy.

‍

17. CONFIDENTIALITY.

a) “Confidential Information” refers to information from one party ("Disclosing Party") that the other party ("Receiving Party") receives in connection with the services. This information, based on the circumstances of its disclosure, would reasonably be believed to be confidential to the Disclosing Party. It includes, but is not limited to, customer information, transactional details, and any non-public content accessed through the services (including Beta Services).

‍

b) The Receiving Party agrees to:

• Limit access and use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to employees, agents, and subcontractors who require access for fulfilling their obligations under this agreement. Each person with access must treat the information with the same level of confidentiality and is bound by confidentiality obligations.
• Not disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to third parties, except for partners or service providers assisting in providing the services, who are also bound by confidentiality duties.
• Protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information with at least a reasonable degree of care, similar to how it protects its own Confidential Information.
• Use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only for performing obligations under this agreement or as permitted herein.

‍

c) The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information if it can be demonstrated that the information:

• Was known to the Receiving Party prior to disclosure by the Disclosing Party, without any confidentiality obligation.
• Becomes publicly known through no fault of the Receiving Party.
• Is received from a third party without a confidentiality obligation.
• Is independently developed by the Receiving Party without using the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.
• Must be disclosed to comply with lawful or judicial orders from governments or their agencies.

‍

18. RESPONSES TO LAW ENFORCEMENT.

KnowHow will respond to all valid legal requests to the extent permitted by these terms, KnowHow privacy policy, and Canadian law. To ensure transparency, we may disclose account information, user activity logs, or other data as required by law.

Please note that responding to legal requests can be time-consuming and involve significant resources. Therefore, we reserve the right to charge users a fee for our efforts in complying with court orders, subpoenas, and other valid requests, on a time and materials basis. We will inform you of any potential fees upfront whenever possible.

‍

19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

We at KnowHow value our users and strive to provide a positive experience.  If you have any concerns, complaints or disagreements, we encourage you to reach out to us by contacting our customer support team at support@tryknowhow.com. We're committed to finding a fair and amicable solution.

If, after contacting customer support, you still feel your issue hasn't been resolved, we encourage you to try mediation. Mediation is a collaborative process where a neutral third party helps both parties reach a mutually agreeable solution. The cost of mediation will typically be shared between KnowHow and you. If mediation is unsuccessful, you may then pursue arbitration as outlined in the Formal Dispute Resolution process below. Please note that any legal arbitration must be handled under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada. 

Formal Dispute Resolution Arbitration Agreement.

Please read the following arbitration agreement carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with KnowHow and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us. However, this process should only be a last resort after attempting to resolve the issue amicably through the methods outlined above.

‍

You agree that any dispute or claim relating to your access or use of the website, app, and/or services, to any products sold or distributed through them, or to any aspect of your relationship with KnowHow, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that:

• You may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. 
• You or KnowHow may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. This Arbitration Agreement applies to all claims that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.
• Any legal arbitration must be handled under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada. 

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”).

Notice to KnowHow should be sent to:
Manifest Labs Inc. dba KnowHow

Suite 2400, 525 8 Ave SW

Calgary AB, Canada, T2P 1G1
with a copy to support@tryknowhow.com.

The Notice must describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and set forth the specific relief sought.

If KnowHow and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or KnowHow may commence an arbitration proceeding.

During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by KnowHow or you will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or KnowHow is entitled.

‍

20. USER DISPUTES AND INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR.

At KnowHow, we value a safe and respectful environment for all users. You are responsible for your interactions with others while using the website, app or associated services.  This includes, but is not limited to, messages, comments, and any other forms of communication.

We expect every user (a) to treat other users with courtesy and respect; (b) to avoid hateful speech, harassment, bullying, or threats; (c) not to share personal information about others without their consent; (d) to abstain from any activity that could be considered illegal or harmful.

We understand that disagreements may arise.  However, if you encounter behavior that violates these terms or any of KnowHow policies or community guidelines, please report it to us immediately by sending a detailed report to our support team at support@tryknowhow.com.

We take all reports seriously and will investigate them thoroughly.  Depending on the severity of the violation, we may take appropriate action, including: 

• Issuing a warning to the offending user. 
• Temporarily suspending the user's account. 
• Permanently banning the user from the services.

KnowHow reserves the right, but has no obligation, to intervene in disputes between users.  However, we are committed to maintaining a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone on our KnowHow platform.

‍

21. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND YOU.

This section clarifies the application of these Terms of Use in the event your company undergoes a business acquisition after entering into this agreement with KnowHow.

‍

In the event your company acquires a new business entity (Successor Entity) that was not a customer of KnowHow at the time of acquisition, the employees and contractors of the Successor Entity may be authorized users under these Terms of Use. However, such authorization is contingent upon their compliance with all applicable provisions outlined herein.

Acquisitions of Existing KnowHow Customers. If your company acquires a business entity (Successor Entity) that was already a customer of KnowHow at the time of acquisition, all existing agreements between KnowHow and the Successor Entity will remain in full force and effect.  It is important to note that the terms of those pre-existing agreements will not automatically extend to your company or any of its other affiliated entities.

‍

In essence, these Terms of Use will apply to your subsidiaries and any newly acquired businesses that were not already KnowHow customers on the date of acquisition. Existing agreements between KnowHow and acquired businesses that were KnowHow customers will remain independent of this agreement.

‍

We kindly request that you provide KnowHow with prompt written notification of any business acquisitions undertaken by your company, regardless of whether the acquired entity was a prior KnowHow customer.  

 

In the event the User joins a franchise network, it is understood and agreed that these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect. As such, the User, whether under the original ownership or as part of a franchise network, shall continue to be bound by the payment terms outlined herein. Any modifications or additions to the ownership structure do not alter the User's obligation to fulfill the payment terms stipulated in these Terms of Use.

 

22. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

These Terms of Use, alongside the KnowHow Privacy Policy and any other referenced KnowHow policies or guidelines, constitute the entire agreement between you and KnowHow regarding the website, app and services, and all associated activities. Any modification to these Terms of Use will be communicated through a new posting by KnowHow. If any part of these Terms of Use is deemed unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part will be severed, but the remaining provisions will remain valid and enforceable.

KnowHow's failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision under these Terms of Use does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver by KnowHow must be in writing and applies only to the specific instance identified. You agree that any claim or cause of action arising from the use of the website, app or services, or these Terms of Use must be filed within one (1) year from the date of discovery of such claim or cause of action.

If you have any questions, complaints, or claims regarding the website, app or services, please contact us at support@tryknowhow.com.
