Terms of Website

These terms and conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of this website (the “Website”). By using the Website, you accept the Terms and Privacy Policy described herein. If you do not agree to these Terms or the Privacy Policy, do not use the Website.


These Terms contain an arbitration provision and class action waiver. See below for additional details.


LICENSE

Subject to your compliance with the Terms, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, revocable, non-transferable license to access and use the Website. No part of the Website may be reproduced, duplicated, copied, scraped, modified, sold, resold, distributed, transmitted, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose without our prior express written consent. All rights not expressly granted in the Terms are reserved.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Unless otherwise indicated, we (or our licensors and suppliers) own all content available on the Website. This includes, but is not limited to, all text, photos, trade names, logos, trademarks, graphics, and their selection, arrangement, and organization. Unless explicitly provided written consent by us, neither your use of the Website or these Terms grant you any right, title, or interest in these materials. 

DISCLAIMERS, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

You agree that your use of the Website is at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for any loss or damage that might result from your access to the Website. This includes, but is not limited to, loss or damage to your computer or mobile device. These limitations apply regardless of their foreseeability.


We, along with our licensors and suppliers, expressly disclaim any and all warranties, express or implied, regarding the Website. We also do not guarantee that the Website will meet your specific needs or operate without interruptions or errors. The Website may contain bugs, errors, problems, or other limitations.


The Website is provided for general information purposes only and is subject to updates. In no event will we, or our licensors or suppliers, be liable to you for any claims arising from your use of the Website or your reliance on any information provided through the Website.

DISPUTES

Governing Law/Venue

The Terms and Privacy Policy will be interpreted as though executed in San Francisco, California and will be governed by the laws of California without regard to conflict of law principles. If involved in arbitration, the arbitrator will apply California law to the claims raised in the arbitration and the Federal Arbitration Act with respect to this arbitration provision.

Customer Service

We encourage you to seek resolution of any “Claim” by first contacting us. “Claim(s)” means any dispute of any kind between you and us, or any of our owners, officers, managers, directors, employees, agents, partners, suppliers, consultants, representatives, affiliates, successors, or assigns related to or arising out of the Terms, the Privacy Policy, or the Website. If we cannot reach an informal resolution, the arbitration provisions below will be final and binding.


Arbitration

Under these Terms, ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN YOU AND US RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE, THESE TERMS, OR THE PRIVACY POLICY MUST BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION. This means that we will only resolve our legal disputes through arbitration and not in a court of law.  Without this Arbitration Agreement, the parties would have the right to sue in court with a jury trial.


The arbitration must be filed and conducted through JAMS (www.jamsadr.org) and the JAMS’ Streamlined Rules will apply. The arbitration may be conducted in person or via document submission, telephone, or email, but the arbitration location shall be in San Francisco, California. The parties each waive any objection to personal jurisdiction and venue. All claims, remedies, and defenses that either you or we have under applicable law (whether federal, state, or local) will remain available to us in the arbitration.

No Class Actions

You and we agree that we will only file claims against each other individually and not as a plaintiff or class member in a representative proceeding. This means that CLASS ACTION ARE NOT ALLOWED.

THIRD PARTY CONTENT

The Website may be linked with the apps and websites of third parties ("Third-Party Content"). We do not have control over and have not reviewed the content and performance of Third-Party Content. You agree to assume all responsibility and liability for any damages or other harm, whether to you or to third parties, resulting from your use of Third-Party Content.

CHANGES

The posted version of the Terms and Privacy Policy on the Website are the current versions, and if any modifications are made, we will post the then-current versions on the Website. Any modified Privacy Policy will only apply as of the effective date of the Privacy Policy.
