For any dispute you have with the Company, you agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. If we have not been able to resolve the dispute with you informally, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms by binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes then in effect for the AAA, except as provided herein. Any such arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the State of California and will be conducted in San Francisco, California. Each party will be responsible for paying any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with AAA rules, except that the Company will pay for your reasonable filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees if your claim for damages does not exceed $25,000 and is non-frivolous (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts for matters related to data security, intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Service. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND THE COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

You agree that:

(i) the Service shall be deemed solely based in California; and

(ii) the Service shall be deemed a passive app that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over the Company, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than California.

We each agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a court of competent jurisdiction located in San Francisco, California for any action not subject to Section 12 (Arbitration).These Terms, including the Privacy Policy and any other legal notices published by the Company on the Service, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company concerning the Service. From time to time, in the Company’s sole discretion, the Company may amend these Terms. Such changes will become effective upon posting of the amended Terms or other notice of such change.  By continuing to access or use the Service, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms.  No other change of any of the provisions of these Terms shall be effective unless and until set forth in writing and duly signed by you and the Company. If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law and the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.© 2021 Demodeck LLC. The Service is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.
