Wireless Features. The Programs may offer certain features and services that are available to you via your wireless Device. These features and services may include the ability to access a Program's features and upload content to the Program, receive messages from the Program, and download applications to your wireless Device (collectively, "Wireless Features"). Standard messaging, data, and other fees may be charged by your carrier to participate in Wireless Features.

8. Dispute Resolution 

 

If you reside in the U.S. (and as applicable to U.S. residents), certain portions of this Section 8 are deemed to be a "written agreement to arbitrate" pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and Becky Rashidifard agree that we intend that this Section 8 satisfies the "writing" requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act.

 

First — Try to Resolve Disputes and Excluded Disputes. If any controversy, allegation, or claim arises out of or relates to the Program, the Content, your User-Generated Content, or these Terms and Conditions, whether heretofore or hereafter arising (collectively, "Dispute"), or to any of Becky Rashidifard's actual or alleged intellectual property rights (an "Excluded Dispute"), then you and Becky Rashidifard agree to send a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. Becky Rashidifard’s notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide her. But if no such information exists or if such information is not current, then Becky Rashidifard has no obligation under this Section 8. Your notice to Becky Rashidifard must be sent via email to: [email protected] For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, Becky Rashidifard and you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, though nothing will require either you or Becky Rashidifard to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute on terms with respect to which you and Becky Rashidifard, in each of our sole discretion, are not comfortable.

 

Binding Arbitration. If we cannot resolve a Dispute as set forth above (or agree to arbitration in writing with respect to an Excluded Dispute) within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice, then ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING BETWEEN YOU AND BECKY RASHIDIFARD (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, REGULATION, ORDINANCE, TORT— INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FRAUD, ANY OTHER INTENTIONAL TORT OR NEGLIGENCE,—COMMON LAW, CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION, RESPONDEAT  SUPERIOR, AGENCY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY), WHETHER ARISING BEFORE OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THESE TERMS, MUST BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. THIS INCLUDES ANY AND ALL DISPUTES BASED ON ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE PURCHASED THROUGH THE WEBSITE, ANY PROGRAM OR ADVERTISING AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE WEBSITE OR ANY PROGRAM. For U.S. residents, the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), not state law, shall govern the arbitrability of all disputes between Becky Rashidifard and you regarding these Terms (and Conditions) and any Program, including the "No Class Action Matters" Section below. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, EACH PARTY IS GIVING UP ITS RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD BY A JUDGE OR JURY. Becky Rashidifard and you agree, however, that the applicable state, federal or provincial law, as contemplated below, shall apply to and govern, as appropriate, any and all claims or causes of action, remedies, and damages arising between you and Becky Rashidifard regarding these Terms and Conditions and any Program, whether arising or stated in contract, statute, common law, or any other legal theory, without regard to any jurisdiction's choice of law principles.

 

Any Dispute will be resolved solely by binding arbitration in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules ("Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), except as modified herein, and the arbitration will be administered by the AAA. If a party properly submits the Dispute to the AAA for formal arbitration and the AAA is unwilling to set a hearing then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. ("JAMS") using JAMS' streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or by any other arbitration administration service that you and a legal representative of Becky Rashidifard consent to in writing. If an in-person arbitration hearing is required and you are a U.S. resident, then it will be conducted in Fairfield County, Connecticut. You and we will pay the administrative and arbitrator's fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules; but if applicable arbitration rules or laws require Becky Rashidifard to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this Section 8 to be enforceable, then Becky Rashidifard will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator who will apply and be bound by these Terms and Conditions, and will determine any Dispute according to applicable law and facts based upon the record and no other basis, and will issue a reasoned award only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions are for the court to decide. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms or the Program. You can obtain AAA and JAMS procedures, rules, and fee information as follows: AAA: 800.778.7879 and http://www.adr.org and JAMS: 800.352.5267 and http://www.jamsadr.com.

 

Limited Time to File Claims. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR BECKY RASHIDIFARD WANT TO ASSERT A DISPUTE (BUT NOT A EXCLUDED DISPUTE) AGAINST THE OTHER, THEN YOU OR BECKY RASHIDIFARD MUST COMMENCE IT (BY DELIVERY OF WRITTEN NOTICE AS SET FORTH ABOVE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES -- OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED. Commencing means, as applicable: (a) by delivery of written notice as set forth above; (b) filing for arbitration as set forth above; or (c) filing an action in state, Federal or provincial court.

 

Injunctive Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Section 8 will not apply to any legal action taken by Becky Rashidifard to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with, any loss, cost, or damage (or any potential loss, cost, or damage) relating to any Program, any Content, your User-Generated Content and/or Becky Rashidifard's intellectual property rights (including such Becky Rashidifard may claim that may be in dispute), Becky Rashidifard's operations and/or Becky Rashidifard's products or services.

 

No Class Action Matters. YOU AND BECKY RASHIDIFARD AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR AS AN ASSOCIATION. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be joined or consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party. There shall be no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on any basis involving Disputes brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, or other persons or entities similarly situated. But if, for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate will not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in court as provided below. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8, any and all issues relating to the scope, interpretation and enforceability of the class action waiver provisions contained herein (described in this "No Class Action Matters" section), are to be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by the arbitrator. The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these class action waiver provisions.

 

Jurisdictional Issues. Except where arbitration is required above or with respect to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute or Excluded Dispute arising hereunder may only be instituted in the courts of the State of Connecticut sitting in the Judicial District of Stamford, or the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. Accordingly, you and Becky Rashidifard consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters and irrevocably waive any claim of “forum non conveniens”.

 

Small Claims Matters Are Excluded from Arbitration Requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Becky Rashidifard may bring qualifying claim of Disputes (but not Excluded Disputes) in small claims court of competent jurisdiction.

 

Governing Law. These Terms and Conditions will be governed by and construed in accordance with, and any Dispute and Excluded Dispute will be resolved in accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut, U.S.A., without regard to its conflicts of law provisions

 

9. DISCLAIMER OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF ANY PROGRAM IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. ALL PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS", "AS AVAILABLE", AND "WITH ALL FAULTS" BASIS. Therefore, to the fullest extent permissible by law, Becky Rashidifard and each of our employees, agents, Program guests, vendors, licensors, licensees, contractors, customers, successors, and assigns (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"), hereby disclaim and make no representations, warranties, endorsements, or promises, express or implied, as to:

 

 

EXCEPT FOR ANY SPECIFIC WARRANTIES PROVIDED HEREIN, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES HEREBY FURTHER DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES, TITLE, CUSTOM, TRADE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, SYSTEM INTEGRATION, AND FREEDOM FROM COMPUTER VIRUS.

 

Some jurisdictions limit or do not allow the disclaimer of implied or other warranties so the above disclaimers may not apply to the extent such jurisdictions' laws are applicable.

 

10. LIMITATIONS OF BECKY RASHIDIFARD’S LIABILITY

 

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER ANY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTIES BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH OR FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, ECONOMIC, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES OR DAMAGES THAT ARE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY RELATED TO:

 

 

The foregoing limitations of liability will apply even if any of the foregoing events or circumstances were foreseeable and even if the Indemnified Parties were advised of or should have known of the possibility of such losses or damages, regardless of whether you bring an action based in contract, negligence, strict liability, or tort (including whether caused, in whole or in part, by negligence, acts of god, telecommunications failure, or destruction of any Program).

 

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages of the sort that are described above, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

 

 

11. Updates to Terms and Conditions

 

These Terms and Conditions, in the form posted at the time of your use of the applicable Program to which it applies, shall govern such use (including transactions entered during such use). AS OUR PROGRAMS EVOLVE, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH BECKY RASHIDIFARD OFFERS THE PROGRAMS MAY PROSPECTIVELY BE MODIFIED AND WE MAY CEASE OFFERING THE PROGRAMS UNDER THE TERMS FOR WHICH THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY OFFERED. ACCORDINGLY, EACH TIME YOU SIGN IN TO OR OTHERWISE USE ANY PROGRAM YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A NEW AGREEMENT WITH BECKY RASHIDIFARD ON THE THEN APPLICABLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY NOTIFY YOU OF OTHER TERMS (THE “ADDITIONAL TERMS”) BY POSTING THEM ON THE WEBSITE DOWNLOAD HOMEPAGE (OR IN ANY OTHER REASONABLE MANNER OF NOTICE WHICH WE ELECT), AND THAT YOUR ACCESS TO ANY PROGRAM AFTER SUCH NOTICE CONSTITUTES YOUR GOING FORWARD AGREEMENT TO THE OTHER TERMS FOR YOUR NEW USE AND TRANSACTIONS. Therefore, you should review the posted terms of use each time you use any Program (at least prior to each transaction or submission). The Additional Terms will be effective as to new use and transactions as of the time that Becky Rashidifard posts them, or such later date as may be specified in them or in other notice to you. However, the Terms (and any applicable Additional Terms) that applied when you previously used the Program will continue to apply to such prior use (i.e., changes and additions are prospective only) unless mutually agreed. In the event any notice to you of new, revised or additional terms is determined by a tribunal to be insufficient, the prior agreement shall continue until sufficient notice to establish a new agreement occurs. You should frequently check the home page and the email you associated with your account for notices, and you agree that the means set forth in these Terms and Conditions are all reasonable manners of providing you with notice. You can reject any new, revised or Additional Terms by discontinuing listening to the Programs and related websites.

Operation of the Programs; Availability of Products and Services; International Issues. The Programs are operated in the United States, and are primarily intended for users located in the U.S. Becky Rashidifard makes no representation that any Program is appropriate or available for use beyond the U.S. If you listen to the Programs from other locations, you are doing so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws regarding your online conduct and acceptable content, if and to the extent local laws apply. Becky Rashidifard reserves the right to limit the availability of the Programs and/or the provision of any content, program, product, service, or other feature described or available on the Programs to any person, entity, geographic area, or jurisdiction, at any time and in our sole discretion, and to limit the quantities of any content, program, product, service, or other feature that we provide. You and Becky Rashidifard disclaim any application to these Terms and Conditions of the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

 

Severability; Interpretation. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is for any reason deemed invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and Conditions, and the invalidity of the provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of these Terms and Conditions (which will remain in full force and effect). To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to waive, and you hereby waive, any applicable statutory and common law that may permit a contract to be construed against its drafter. Wherever the word "including" is used in these Terms and Conditions, the word will be deemed to mean "including, without limitation,". The summaries of provisions and section headings are provided for convenience only and shall not limit the full Terms and Conditions.

No Waiver. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms and Conditions: (i) no failure or delay by you or Becky Rashidifard in exercising any of rights, powers, or remedies hereunder will operate as a waiver of that or any other right, power, or remedy, and (ii) no waiver or modification of any term of these Terms and Conditions will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.
