After the Free Trial period has expired, you will be charged without further notice in full for the selected term, and those charges are non-refundable. You are entitled to no more than one Free Trial and agree not to seek additional Free Trials through multiple or successive registrations, use of aliases or changes in account information, or otherwise. Any use, or attempt to use, the Services through multiple or successive registrations for Free Trials will result in your credit card being immediately charged for said Service.

FREE TRIAL SUBSCRIPTIONS WILL BE CHARGED AT THE REGULAR PRICE IN EFFECT ON THE DATE THE FREE TRIAL PERIOD ENDS.

We will charge you for your first Subscription fee on the date that We process your order for your Subscription (or if you sign-up for a Free Trial, We will charge you for your first Subscription fee upon the expiration date of the applicable Fee Trial period).

IF YOU CHOOSE TO CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT AFTER IT HAS AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED FOR AN ADDITIONAL TERM (I.E., YOU DO NOT CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE INITIAL TERM OR THEN-CURRENT TERM), YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A REFUND FOR THE PRE-PAID SUBSCRIPTION FEE PAID FOR THE TERM, PROVIDED THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE SITE AND THE SERVICES, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, FOR THE REMAINDER OF THAT THEN-CURRENT TERM. We may change the fees and charges for Services or add new fees and charges from time to time, but will provide advance notice by e-mail, on the Site or in-app message of these changes prior to charging the new fees.

Cancelation— YOU MAY CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AT ANY TIME. ALL FEES DUE FROM YOU TO US UP TO THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD AT THE TIME OF TERMINATION SHALL REMAIN PAYABLE TO US UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED. YOU MAY CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION BY EMAILING A CANCELATION REQUEST TO [email protected], PROVIDED THAT CANCELATION MAY NOT BE EFFECTIVE UNTIL ONE (1) BUSINESS DAY AFTER WE RECEIVE YOUR REQUEST.

Termination— We reserve the right to terminate your subscription or your access to the Services at any time or to discontinue or modify any Services, portion or attribute thereof, for any or no reason and with or without notice in Our sole discretion. You agree that your sole remedy for such termination of your access to the Services is to receive a pro-rated refund of the pre-paid subscription fee paid to Us for the then-current term. If you breach any of the terms of this Agreement, any and all license granted under this Agreement will terminate automatically and you must immediately destroy any downloaded or printed Materials (and any copies thereof). We may pursue any and all claims and causes of action it may have against you for violation of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any monetary damages, injunctive relief, court costs and attorneys’ fees.

Except as prohibited by applicable law, you hereby assign all right, title, and interest in, and We are free to use, without any attribution or compensation to you, any ideas, know-how, concepts, techniques, or other intellectual property and proprietary rights contained in the Feedback, whether or not patentable, for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to, developing, manufacturing, having manufactured, licensing, marketing, and selling, directly or indirectly, products and services using such Feedback.

This Provision facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any dispute (e.g., claim or controversy, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort – including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence – or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below) that may arise between you and Us. Effectively, then, “dispute” is given the broadest meaning enforceable by law and includes any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to you (such as Our licensors, suppliers, dealers or third-party vendors) whenever you also assert claims against Us in the same proceeding.

This Provision provides that all disputes between you and Us shall be resolved by binding arbitration because acceptance of this Agreement constitutes a waiver of your right to litigation claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. We prefer this because We believe arbitration is less drama-filled than litigation. To be clear, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees). you may, however, opt-out of this Provision which means you would have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). THE PARTIES AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.

For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give Us an opportunity to resolve the Dispute which is first done by emailing to Us at [email protected] the following information: (1)your name, (2) your address, (3) A written description of your Claim, and (4) A description of the specific relief you seek. If We do not resolve the Dispute within 45 days after receiving your notification, then you may pursue your Dispute in arbitration. you may pursue your dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.

Notwithstanding the above, your or We may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if: (a) The dispute qualifies for initiation in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THIS AGREEMENT (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). you may opt-out of this Provision by emailing Us at [email protected] the following information: (1) your name; (2) your address; (3) A clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with Us through arbitration. Either way, We will not take any decision you make personally. In fact, We promise that your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with Us. But, We do have to enforce the Opt-Out Deadline so keep in mind that any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your dispute in arbitration or small claims court.

If this Provision applies and the dispute is not resolved as provided above (Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution) either you or We may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration, and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Provision.

For arbitration before AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.

Because this Site and this Agreement concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.

Arbitration Award – The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.

Location of Arbitration – you or We may initiate arbitration in either Sacramento or the federal judicial district that includes your billing address. In the event that you select the latter, We may transfer the arbitration to Sacramento so long as We agree to pay any additional fees or costs which the arbitrator determines you incur as a result of the transfer.

Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs – So long as you place a request in writing prior to commencement of the arbitration, We will pay all arbitration fees and associated costs and expenses. But, you will still be responsible for all additional fees and costs that you incur in the arbitration which include but are not limited to attorneys’ fees or expert witnesses. In addition to any fees and costs recoverable under applicable law, if you provide notice and negotiate in good faith with Us as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.

Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless both you and We specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration. If you choose to pursue your Dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other user of this Site can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.

you understand and agree that by accepting this Provision in this Agreement, you and We are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Provision, you and We might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that you would have if you went to court (e.g., the rights to both appeal and certain types of discovery) may be more limited or may also be waived.

If any clause within this Provision (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Provision whose remainder will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Provision will be unenforceable and the dispute will be decided by a court.

This Provision shall survive the termination of your account with Us or Our affiliates and your discontinued use of this Site. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, We agree that if We make any change to this Provision (other than a change to the Notice Address), you may reject any such change and require Us to adhere to the language in this Provision if a dispute between Us arises.

We control and operate these Sites from its headquarters in the United States of America and the Materials, Submissions and/or Third Party Content may not be appropriate or available for use in other locations. If you use these Sites outside the United States of America, you are responsible for following applicable local laws.

The proprietary rights, disclaimer of warranties, representations made by you, limitations of liability, assignment, governing law and venue, severability; waiver, and entire agreement provisions shall survive any termination of this Agreement, together with all other terms that by their nature continue and survive.

You may not assign this Agreement or any rights hereunder. We may at its sole discretion assign this Agreement or any rights hereunder to any Affiliate, or any third party, without giving prior notice. Any purported assignment in violation of this restriction is void.

This Agreement shall be subject to and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflict of laws provisions.

If for any reason any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, then the unenforceable or invalid provision of the Terms will be superseded by a valid and enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision. The remainder of the Terms shall remain in full effect. Our failure to enforce any term of this Agreement is not a waiver of that term. A waiver must be in writing to be effective.

Our suppliers and their suppliers are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement with respect to the use of their data and information and are entitled to directly enforce in their own names the rights and obligations of you and seek all legal and equitable remedies as they or we may have.

The terms and conditions of this Agreement constitute the entire agreement between you and Us with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede and replace all prior or contemporaneous understandings and agreements, written or oral, regarding the subject matter, including any prior versions of this Agreement.
