Arbitration Agreement. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE BOTH PARTIES TO AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION.
Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. Both Parties agree that all claims and disputes (whether contract, tort, or otherwise), including all statutory claims and disputes, arising out of or relating to this TOU or the use of the Products or Services will be exclusively resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, or any dispute in which either Party seeks equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents. To be clear: The phrase “all claims and disputes” also includes claims and disputes that arose between us before the Effective Date of this TOU.
Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute-resolution provision. Arbitration will be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, available here as of the date of this TOU, or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the Parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with this TOU. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount sought is less than $10,000 USD may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount sought is $10,000 USD or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the arbitral forum’s rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Additional Rules for Non-appearance Arbitration. If non-appearance arbitration is elected, the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online, written submissions, or any combination of the three; the specific manner will be chosen by the Party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration will not involve any personal appearance by the Parties or witnesses unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise.
Fees. Each Party shall be responsible for an equal fifty percent (50%) share of the costs of any arbitration proceeding under this arbitration agreement.
Authority of the Arbitrator. The arbitrator will decide the jurisdiction of the arbitrator and the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and us. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under Law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this TOU. The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon both Parties.
Waiver of Jury Trial / Class Action. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF, IN RELATION TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRODUCT(S) OR SERVICES, INCLUDING THIS TOU. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE PRODUCT(S) OR SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS NOT SUBJECT TO ANY EXCEPTIONS. ADDITIONALLY, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A MEMBER OF ANY CLASS PERTAINING TO ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. CLASS ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED.
Right to Waive. Any rights and limitations set forth in this arbitration agreement may be waived by the Party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver will not waive or affect any other portion of this arbitration agreement.
Arbitration Agreement Survival. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with us.
Governing Law / Venue. The arbitrator shall apply Georgia law and applicable statute of limitations and shall honor claims of privilege recognized by law. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, all arbitration hearings shall be held in Muscogee County, Georgia.
Indemnity. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from any losses (including attorney fees) that arise in connection with 1) any claims you make that are not permitted under the terms of this TOU due to a "Limitation of Liability" or other provision, and 2) any third party claim or demand against us and all of our damages arising out of, resulting from, or in connection with any hardware or equipment utilized by you in relation to the Product(s) or Services. You also agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from any losses (including attorney fees) that result from any claims that you or someone using your password or accessing your account behaved in a way that allegedly violated any local, state, or federal law, or any of provision of this TOU.
Attorney Fees. If we file an action against you claiming you breached this TOU and we prevail, we're entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and any damages or other relief we may be awarded.
Third Parties. We are not responsible for the behavior or accuracy of any advertisers, linked websites, customers or consumers, or other End Users.
Equitable Relief. If you breach any of your obligations under these Terms, then we may seek injunctive or other equitable relief.
Assignments. You may not assign any of your rights under this agreement to anyone else. We may assign our rights to any other individual or entity at any time, at our discretion.
Choice of Law. The State of Georgia's Laws, except for conflict of laws rules, will apply to any dispute related to this TOU or the Product.
Force Majeure. We will not be liable for any delay, failure in performance, loss or damages or for any failure of the Product because of circumstances beyond our control. Such circumstances may include, but are not limited to: a natural disaster, act of war or terrorism, riot, labor condition, governmental action, power outage, or internet disturbance.
Severability. If it turns out that a section of this Agreement is not enforceable, that section will be removed or edited, and the rest of the TOU will remain valid.
Headings. The headers and sidebar text are provided only to make this agreement easier to read and understand.
No Changes in Terms at Request of End User. Because we have so many end users of the Product, we cannot change these Terms for any one end user or group of end users.
SMS messages. By using the Product, you agree to receive SMS text messages relating to the Product, Services, our website properties, and other services, products, advertisements, offers, and solicitations offered by our affiliates, customers, from us, our customers who license the Product, and other third parties.
Obligations. You will provide all documents and take any actions necessary to meet your obligations under this TOU.
Notification of Security Breach. In the event of a security breach that may affect you, we will notify you of the breach and provide a description of what happened. If we determine, and notify you, that you need to forward all or part of that description to any additional party, you agree to promptly forward such information.
Notices. Any notice to you will be effective when we send it to the last email or physical address you gave us or posted in our Product. Any notice from you to us will be effective when delivered to us along with a copy to our Chief Legal Counsel.
Entire Agreement. The Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, and any additional terms from any additional documentation you've agreed to, embody the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties, and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings. As it relates to the Products and Services, in the event of any conflict, ambiguity or inconsistency between this TOU and any other document, the terms of this TOU shall govern, unless otherwise stated therein.
This policy explains the what, how, and why of the information we collect when you use the Product. It also explains the specific ways we use and disclose that information.

Any changes will be effective as of the date we post on the websites or within the Product, whichever date is sooner.
