Term and Termination

Subject to the terms of this section, these Terms and Conditions will remain in effect for as long as you use the Site. We may terminate these Terms and Conditions and your access to the Site at any time and for any reason, with or without notice to you.

Assignment

We may assign these Terms and Conditions or delegate any of our rights or obligations hereunder, or any part thereof, to any third party, including our successor-in-interest, without requiring your written consent. You may not assign these Terms and Conditions in whole or in part, for any reason.

Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions, including all claims relating to or arising hereof or breach thereof, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise, will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of California, excluding its choice-of-law principles.

Disputes

You agree that, except as provided below, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Site will be determined by binding arbitration only. In no event will the terms of this section limit our ability to investigate complaints or reported violations of these Terms and Conditions, or to take any action we deem necessary and appropriate to mitigate actions against us, including reporting any suspected unlawful activity to law enforcement officials, regulators, or other third parties.

The terms of this section apply to all disputes and actions, even if the circumstances or relationship giving rise to such disputes or actions occurred prior to this version of the Terms and Conditions (or such modification).

Class Action and Jury Waiver

THE PARTIES WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, MASS ACTION, GROUP ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND/OR COLLECTIVE ACTION IN ANY DISPUTE. EACH PARTY MAY PROCEED AS TO ANY DISPUTE ONLY IN THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, MASS ACTION, GROUP ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND/OR COLLECTIVE ACTION.

Informal Resolution

If you have any dispute with us or any related third party, arising out of, relating to, or connected with these Terms and Conditions or the Site, you agree to contact us directly and provide a brief, written description of the dispute and your contact information (including your username, if your dispute relates to an account); and give us thirty (30) days from the date of filing your written description with us within which to resolve the dispute to your reasonable satisfaction.

In the event we are unable to resolve any dispute through an informal dialogue, you agree that any disputes will be resolved on an individual basis through arbitration, rather than as a class or collective action. Failure to complete the Informal Resolution process is grounds for dismissal of any Arbitration.

Arbitration

Any claims by us, or claims by you that are not resolved by the Informal Resolution procedure described above, arising out of, relating to, or connected with these Terms and Conditions, other than a claim by us for injunctive or other equitable relief, shall be settled confidentially by a single arbitrator with arbitration conducted through an arbitrator selected by us, and at a location of our choosing (or via remote conferencing where appropriate and permitted to mitigate costs of travel).

The parties agree that neither JAMS nor the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) shall administer the Arbitration or appoint the Arbitrator. However, the Arbitration shall be administered pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures or other comparable rules to which the parties agree. For the avoidance of doubt, the selection of JAMS rules does not mean that JAMS will administer the Arbitration or appoint the Arbitrator.

These Terms and Conditions and each of its parts evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) will apply in all cases and govern the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration rules and arbitration proceedings. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

In addition to and notwithstanding the terms stated above, the following will apply to your disputes: (1) the arbitration proceeding and results thereof will be kept confidential by each party; (2) the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms and Conditions including any claim that all or any part of these Terms and Conditions is void or voidable; (3) because the parties agree that because disputes or actions can be brought only in an individual capacity, and expressly waive the right to participate in a class action, mass action, group action, representative action, and/or collective action in any dispute, the arbitrator will not have the power to conduct any form of class or collective arbitration, nor join or consolidate claims by or for individuals; and (4) the parties hereby irrevocably waive any right to a court trial (other than small claims court as provided above) or to serve as a representative, as a private attorney general, or in any other representative capacity, or to participate as a member of a class of claimants, in any lawsuit, arbitration, or other proceeding against us or related third parties arising out of, relating to, or connected with these Terms and Conditions or the Site.

Limitation of Actions

Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, you agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of, relating to, or connected with your use of the Site or any term or condition of these Terms and Conditions, must be filed within twelve (12) months of the date the facts giving rise to the action or dispute were known or should have been known by you, or forever be barred. This statute of limitations and any filing deadlines shall be tolled while the Parties engage in the Informal Resolution process.

Waiver

Any failure on our part to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms and Conditions shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be contrary to any law or regulation of an administrative or governmental agency or body, such provision will be modified and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. In the event such a provision cannot be modified and becomes invalidated or unenforceable, its invalidation or unenforceability will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of these Terms and Conditions.

Entire Agreement

These Terms and Conditions, together with our Privacy Policy, as each may be amended from time to time, constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, representations, understandings, or terms not specifically incorporated herein.

Changes in Terms and Conditions

From time to time, we may add to, modify, or revise these Terms and Conditions. If a change is determined in our sole discretion to be material, we will notify you by e-mail or by posting a notice on this page. You agree that such modified Terms and Conditions will be effective upon our posting of such updates, unless otherwise set forth by us. Your continued use of the Site after such change becomes effective will constitute your affirmative acceptance to the modified Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to, or cannot comply with, the Terms and Conditions as amended, you must stop using the Site.
