Service providers may also message you requesting to reschedule the service for another time, and you have the option to accept their requests.

19. Communication Platform SproutStep is a web-based communications platform enabling the connection between users. “Clients” are individuals and/or businesses seeking to obtain services from other “Service providers” and are therefore clients of those “Service providers”, and “Service providers” are individuals and/or businesses seeking to perform services for Clients. Clients and Service providers together are hereinafter referred to as “Users.” If you agree on the terms of a service with another User, you and such other User form a Service Agreement directly between the two of you as set forth in more detail in Section 20 below. SERVICE PROVIDERS ARE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS AND NOT EMPLOYEES OF SPROUTSTEP. COMPANY DOES NOT PERFORM SERVICES AND DOES NOT EMPLOY INDIVIDUALS TO PERFORM SERVICES. USERS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SPROUTSTEP DOES NOT SUPERVISE, DIRECT, CONTROL OR MONITOR A SERVICE PROVIDER’S SERVICE AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED OR THE SERVICE IN ANY MANNER. SproutStep only enables connections between Users for provision of services. Company is not responsible for the performance of Users, nor does it have control over the quality, timing, legality, failure to provide, or any other aspect whatsoever of Service providers, services, Clients, nor of the integrity, responsibility, qualifications or any of the actions or omissions whatsoever of any Users.

Users hereby give consent to Company to conduct background checks as often as required in compliance with federal and state laws, including, without limitation, the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Although Company may perform background checks of Users, as outlined above, Company is not required to do so and cannot confirm that each User is who they claim to be and therefore, Company cannot and does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of identity or background check information or any information provided through SproutStep. When interacting with other Users, you should exercise caution and common sense to protect your personal safety and property, just as you would when interacting with other persons whom you don’t know. NEITHER COMPANY NOR ITS AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF ANY USER OF SPROUTSTEP AND YOU HEREBY RELEASE COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS FROM ANY LIABILITY RELATED THERETO. COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, INJURY OR DAMAGE ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF SPROUTSTEP. You acknowledge and agree that a contract (the “Service Agreement”) is formed when you agree on the terms of a service with another User. The terms of the Service Agreement include the terms set forth in this Section, the engagement terms proposed and accepted on SproutStep, and any other contractual terms accepted by both the users to the extent such terms do not conflict with the terms in this Agreement including this Section and do not expand Company’s obligations or restrict Company’s rights under this Agreement. You agree that Company is not a party to any Service Agreement and the formation of a Service Agreement will not, under any circumstance, create an employment or other service relationship between Company and the Service provider. Where approved in advance by the Client, the Service provider is not obligated to personally perform the Services. Before any services are performed by any assistants, helpers, subcontractors or other personnel (collectively “Assistants”) engaged by the Service provider, the Service provider shall require any such individuals to become registered Service providers on SproutStep pursuant to Company policies as described on SproutStep. A Service provider’s failure to utilize an Assistant who is not a registered Service provider could lead to removal from SproutStep. The Service provider assumes full and sole responsibility for the payment of all compensation, benefits and expenses of Assistants, if any, and for all required and applicable state and federal income tax withholdings as to the Service provider and all persons engaged by the Service provider in the performance of the services. The Client shall pay their Service provider directly for completed services through the PSP (as defined below) as indicated on SproutStep at the rates agreed to by the parties in the Service Agreement. Each party agrees to comply with this Agreement during the engagement, performance and completion of a service. Both parties agree to notify Company of any disputes prior to negotiation of or filing of any claims and to negotiate any dispute informally via Company representatives for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any proceeding between the parties.

22. Enforcement.  We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to review any User Content, and to investigate and/or take appropriate action against you in our sole discretion if you violate the Acceptable Use Policy or any other provision of these Terms or otherwise create liability for us or any other person. Such action may include removing or modifying your User Content, terminating your Account in accordance with Section 10, and/or reporting you to law enforcement authorities.

23. Feedback.  If you provide us with any feedback or suggestions regarding the Site (“Feedback”), you hereby assign to us all rights in such Feedback and agree that we shall have the right to use and fully exploit such Feedback and related information in any manner it deems appropriate.  We will treat any Feedback you provide to us as non-confidential and non-proprietary.  You agree that you will not submit to us any information or ideas that you consider to be confidential or proprietary.  

24. Billing and Payment for Users. Users of SproutStep contract for services directly with other Users. Company will not be a party to any contracts for services.

Users of SproutStep may be required to provide their credit card and/or bank account details to the Payment Service Provider retained by Company (the “PSP”) on the Site. Clients (Enterprises and Individuals) will be responsible for paying the invoice for each service (the “Invoice”), which will include (i) the pricing terms of the service agreed with and provided by a Service provider (“Service Payment”), (ii) any out of pocket expenses agreed with and submitted by a Service provider in connection with the service, (iii) any tip or gratuity, if applicable, (iv) the service charge Company assesses for SproutStep, variable based on the Service Payment amount, and (v) the platform fee, which is used to offset Company's cost of operating SproutStep, providing Users with customer support, and other various business objectives, and (vi) cancellation fees, if applicable. Service providers will be responsible for paying (i) registration fees, if applicable (ii) cancellation fees, if applicable and (iii) repayment of erroneous payments. Clients are also charged credit card processing fees determined by the PSP.

Service providers may be required to register with the PSP, agree to Terms of Service of the PSP and go through a vetting process at the request of the PSP to set up their account with the PSP. Terms of Service between Service providers and the PSP retained by Company are called the “PSP Agreement”. By accepting these Terms of Use when registering with the PSP, each Service provider agrees that they have downloaded or printed, and reviewed and agreed to the PSP Agreement. Please note that Company is not a party to the PSP Agreement and that you, the PSP and any other parties listed in the PSP Agreement are the parties to the PSP Agreement and that Company has no obligations or liability to any Service provider under the PSP Agreement.

To help prevent fraud and safeguard User information from the risk of unauthorized access, Company and/or the PSP may validate an account before activation. As part of the account validation, a very temporary charge is placed on account associated with the User and then refunded within 1-3 business days. Due to the difference in PSP and credit card issuer requirements, this temporary charge may vary between $0.01 US to $5000.00 US depending on the estimated value of the service and reimbursements.

Service Payment and fees must be paid through the PSP. 

Users of SproutStep will be liable for any taxes (including VAT, if applicable) required to be paid on the services provided under the Agreement (other than taxes on Company’s income).

a) For Individual Clients: In addition to the aforementioned terms (in section 24, “Billing and Payment for Users”), payment for services through SproutStep is made directly from the Client to the Service provider via the Payment Service Provider and not by Company. The Payment Service Provider (PSP) transfers the money straight from the Client to the Service provider. During the transaction process, the Payment Service Provider transfers the SproutStep commission fee (10% of Service Payment amount) to the Company bank deposit account and also extracts its own (Payment Service Provider) payment processing fee. The SproutStep commission fee and the PSP’s payment processing fee are subject to change at any time.  

When Client attempts to purchase a product or service on SproutStep through the Checkout flow on the Site, Client automatically authorizes Company to provide Client's payment details to the PSP for processing of Service Payment, out of pocket expenses owed to Service provider if applicable, and the service charge and processing fees owed to Company for the use of SproutStep. You may be charged a cancellation fee through the PSP if you book a service, but cancel it before it is completed, as set forth in the service pricing terms or if you agree to perform a service but fail to complete it, as may be set forth in the service pricing terms.

Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion (but not the obligation), upon request from Client or Service provider or upon notice of any potential fraud, unauthorized charges or other misuse of SproutStep, to (i) place on hold any Service Payment and out of pocket expenses, or (ii) refund, provide credits or arrange for the PSP to do so.

If a Client fails to pay a Service provider for goods and services booked or purchased through SproutStep, Company is not obligated to pay the Service provider for such goods and services.

b) For Enterprise customers: In addition to the aforementioned terms (in section 24, “Billing and Payment for Users”), Enterprises purchase access to the SproutStep network of certified wellness providers for their employees through an annual subscription plan. At the time that the Enterprise registers to use SproutStep, an agreed-upon annual platform fee (“Annual Platform Subscription Fee”), which is dependent on the number of Enterprise Employees in the Enterprise who have been authorized to access and utilize SproutStep and the services of its Service providers through the Enterprise, must be paid by the Enterprise to the Company. The platform fee (“Annual Platform Subscription Fee”) rate for the Enterprise is set in a contract between the Company and the Enterprise prior to the authorization of the Enterprise and its Enterprise Employees to access and utilize SproutStep Accounts and the services of SproutStep Service providers. The Company reserves the right to place a hold on the access and usage of SproutStep and the Site by the Enterprise and its Enterprise Employees until the aforementioned costs are covered according to the billing term basis. The Annual Platform Subscription Fee may be billed monthly or annually.

Annual Platform Subscriptions for Enterprises will be automatically renewed every year unless canceled by the Enterprise. A renewal notice will be provided to the Enterprise contact before the Annual Platform Subscription is due for renewal. The Company reserves the right to cancel subscriptions if the Enterprise fails to pay the Company for the same. 

Enterprises can create customized benefits plans for their Enterprise Employees and executives, which will be used to create prepaid e-Wallets for each employee to use directly on SproutStep. The number of "dollar" points in the e-Wallet (equivalent to that Enterprise Employee’s benefits balance) indicates the amount of money that the employee can spend on SproutStep over the period of the benefits plan.

Enterprise Employees who use up their benefits balance (“prepaid Enterprise e-Wallet”) on the Site but who continue to incur charges on SproutStep beyond the agreed-upon benefits balance must either have their benefits balance replenished by SproutStep (at the discretion of the Enterprise) or must individually cover all additional costs and Service payments through payment by their personal credit cards on the Site.

Enterprises will be billed monthly for the services that their employees purchase through SproutStep. The Company reserves the right to cancel the Enterprise subscription plan if the Enterprise fails to pay the Company the monthly service bill.  Using the amount paid by the Enterprise to the Company for the monthly service bill, the Company directly pays the Service providers via the Payment Service Provider (PSP) for all goods and services purchased or booked by Enterprises and Enterprise Employees. The Payment Service Provider (PSP) transfers the money straight from SproutStep to the Service providers. During the transaction process, the Payment Service Provider transfers the SproutStep commission fee (10% of Service Payment amount) to the Company bank deposit account. The SproutStep commission fee is subject to change at any time.  

If an Enterprise Client fails to pay Company for goods and services that the Enterprise and its Enterprise Employees purchased or booked through SproutStep (so that Company can pay the Service providers for these goods and services), Company may take legal action against the Enterprise.  

25. Worker Classification and Withholdings. COMPANY DOES NOT PERFORM SERVICES AND DOES NOT EMPLOY SERVICE PROVIDERS TO PERFORM SERVICES. Each User assumes all liability for proper classification of such User’s workers based on applicable legal guidelines.

Users do not have authority to enter into written or oral — whether implied or express — contracts on behalf of Company. Each User acknowledges that Company does not, in any way, supervise, direct, control or monitor a Service provider’s work or services performed in any manner. Company does not set a Service provider’s work hours or location of work. Company will not provide any equipment, space, labor, or materials needed for a particular service. Company does not provide any supervision to Users.

SproutStep is not an employment service and Company is not an employer of any User. As such, Company is not responsible for and will not be liable for any tax payments or withholding, including but not limited to unemployment insurance, social security, disability insurance or any other applicable federal or state withholdings in connection with your use of Users’ services.

Service providers determine what categories they are qualified to service in and scope the service directly with their Client. SproutStep does not oversee, monitor or direct how a Service provider performs a service and does not monitor services or chat threads between Users. Clients are advised to confirm with their Service provider that their Service provider is qualified to perform the service prior to the service taking place. 

Customers, Employers, and Authorized Users

26. Subscription. Subject to all limitations and restrictions contained herein and the Quote if provided, the Company grants the Enterprise Customer and its authorized Enterprise Employees a term subscription to the services published on the SproutStep marketplace platform, and a nonexclusive, and nontransferable right to access the SproutStep site and services (and use its Documentation). This includes providing limited access to SproutStep and its services to designated Enterprise Customer’s employees or the Enterprise Customer’s Users, as per agreement between the Company and the Enterprise Customer. The Enterprise Customer is not granted access to a physical copy of any software. 

27. Onboarding Users. The Customer will provide SproutStep with the Customer’s Users’ identifying information, including but not limited to, name, email, and phone number. SproutStep will grant access to the Customer’s Users and provide instructions for using the SproutStep platform. SproutStep cannot guarantee the Customer’s Users use of the SproutStep site and it is the sole responsibility of the Customer to ensure the Customer’s designated employees utilize the SproutStep site. The designated Customer’s employees are the only authorized users. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that access to Customer User accounts are not shared. For each Customer’s Users’ account accessed by a non-authorized User, at the discretion of the Company, the Customer may incur a fee and will be required to pay said fee(s) prior to continue to have access to the SproutStep site and its services. 

28. Price. The Customer agrees to pay the outlined annual subscription price. Billing terms may include monthly or annual basis. The price for accessing the SproutStep site is per User per term.

If payment is delayed, SproutStep reserves the right to remove access to the Site for all of the Customer’s User accounts. SproutStep reserves the right to increase the price of subscription beginning the following month. If SproutStep increases the subscription price, the Customer will be notified and may elect a refund for the remaining months in the term or cancel their subscription with no penalties or additional fees. 

29. Taxes. The license, service fees, and other amounts required to be paid hereunder do not include any amount for taxes or levy (including interest and penalties). Customer shall reimburse SproutStep and hold SproutStep harmless for all sales, use, VAT, excise, property or other taxes or levies which SproutStep is required to collect or remit to applicable tax authorities. This provision does not apply to SproutStep’s income or franchise taxes, or any taxes for which the Customer is exempt, provided the Customer has furnished SproutStep with a valid tax exemption certificate.

30. Change of Subscription. Customers may upgrade, downgrade, or change their subscription without authorization from the Company and with no penalty or fee. If a Customer upgrades or downgrades their subscription, the Company will assist the Customer with transitioning their subscription and provide updated invoice and instructions for the Customer’s Users. This agreement is automatically renewed for another term unless the customer terminates the agreement prior to the term anniversary of the initial subscription date.

31. Service Availability. SproutStep will use reasonable efforts to maintain constant availability of the SproutStep site.

  32. Support Services. Upon payment of subscription fees, the Customer and its Users may receive support services that may include webchat, email, or phone call as is deemed appropriate by the Company. SproutStep will use reasonable efforts to assist the Customer and Users in a reasonable timeframe.

35. Termination by the Customer. The Customer may cancel their annual subscription to SproutStep at any time. If a Customer cancels their subscription, the Customer agrees the cancellation will occur after the current month (as calculated by the monthly anniversary date of billing terms). The Company will refund the Customer any prorated subscription funds that were prepaid for after the current month.  

36. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of the subscription, the Customer and its Enterprise Employees shall no longer access the Site and its Accounts or services and the Customer shall not circumvent any security mechanisms contained therein.

37. Other Remedies. Termination of subscription will not limit either party from pursuing other remedies available to it, including injunctive relief, nor will such termination relieve the Customer’s obligation to pay all fees that have accrued or are otherwise owed by the Customer under these Terms.

38. The Customer agrees that no employees of SproutStep will be required to individually sign any agreement in order to perform any services hereunder including, but not limited to, access agreements, security agreements, facilities agreements or individual confidentiality agreements.

Information on SproutStep’s servers may be unavailable to the Customer during a suspension of access to the Site. SproutStep will use commercially reasonable efforts to give the Customer at least twelve (12) hours’ notice of a suspension unless SproutStep determines in its commercially reasonable judgment that a suspension on shorter or contemporaneous notice is necessary to protect SproutStep or its customers.

44. Assignment. The Customer may not assign these Terms or otherwise transfer any license created hereunder whether by operation of law, change of control, or in any other manner, without the prior written consent of SproutStep. Any purported assignment of these Terms, or any license or rights in violation of this Section will be deemed void.

50. Restricted Rights. Use of the Site by or for the United States Government is conditioned upon the Government agreeing that the Site is subject to Restricted Rights as provided under the provisions set forth in FAR 52.227-19.

51. Entire Agreement.

Customer further agrees not to hire, solicit, nor attempt to solicit, the services of any former employee or Subcontractor of SproutStep for a period of one (1) year from such former employee’s or Subcontractor’s last date of service with SproutStep. Violation of this provision will entitle SproutStep to liquidated damages against the Customer equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the solicited person’s gross annual compensation.

53. Headings. Headings are for reference purposes only, have no substantive effect, and will not enter into the interpretation hereof.

54. No Waiver. No failure or delay in enforcing any right or exercising any remedy will be deemed a waiver of any right or remedy.

55. Severability and Reformation. Each provision of these Terms is a separately enforceable provision. If any provision of these Terms is determined to be or becomes unenforceable or illegal, such provision will be reformed to the minimum extent necessary in order for these Terms to remain in effect in accordance with its terms as modified by such reformation.

Please note that, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any misrepresentation of material fact (falsities) in a written notification automatically subjects the complaining party to liability for any damages, costs and attorney’s fees incurred by us in connection with the written notification and allegation of copyright infringement.      66. General

67. Changes.  These Terms are subject to occasional revision, and if we make any substantial changes, we may notify you by sending you an e-mail to the last e-mail address you provided to us (if any), and/or by prominently posting notice of the changes on our Site.  You are responsible for providing us with your most current e-mail address.  In the event that the last e-mail address that you have provided us is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you the notice described above, our dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice of the changes described in the notice.  Any changes to these Terms will be effective upon the earlier of thirty (30) calendar days following our dispatch of an e-mail notice to you (if applicable) or thirty (30) calendar days following our posting of notice of the changes on our Site.  These changes will be effective immediately for new users of our Site.  Continued use of our Site following notice of such changes shall indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of such changes.  

68. Dispute Resolution. Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully.  It is part of your contract with us and affects your rights.  It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

69. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.  All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms or the use of any product or service provided by us that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement.  Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English.  This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and us, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms.

70. Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution.  Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief.  A Notice to us should be sent to admin@sproutstep.com.  After the Notice is received, we may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally.  If we do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding.  The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.

71. Arbitration Rules.  Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section.  If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider.  The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms.  The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Arbitration Rules”) governing the arbitration are available online at or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.  The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator.  Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) 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 of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules.  Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise.  If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  If the arbitrator grants you an award that is greater than the last settlement offer that we made to you prior to the initiation of arbitration, we will pay you the greater of the award or $2,500.00.  Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.

72. Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration.  If non-appearance based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration.  The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

73. Time Limits.  If you or us pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.

74. Authority of Arbitrator.  If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and us, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties.  The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim.  The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and the Terms.  The arbitrator shall 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 you and us.  

75. Waiver of Jury Trial.  THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement.  Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court.  In the event any litigation should arise between you and us in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

76. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions.  ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.    

77. Confidentiality.  All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential.  The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law.  This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.  

78. Severability.  If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.  

79. Right to Waive.  Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted.  Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.

80. Survival of Agreement.  This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with us.    

81. Small Claims Court.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or us may bring an individual action in small claims court.

82. Emergency Equitable Relief.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration.  A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.  

83. Claims Not Subject to Arbitration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

84. Courts.  In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Wilmington, Delaware, for such purpose. 

85. Export. The Site may be subject to U.S. export control laws and may be subject to export or import regulations in other countries. You agree not to export, reexport, or transfer, directly or indirectly, any U.S. technical data acquired from us, or any products utilizing such data, in violation of the United States export laws or regulations.   

86. Disclosures.  If you are a California resident, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Product of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 400 R Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

87. Electronic Communications.  The communications between you and us is through the use of electronic means, whether you use the Site or send us emails, or whether we post notices on the Site or communicates with you via email. For contractual purposes, you (a) consent to receive communications from us in an electronic form; and (b) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were be in a hardcopy writing. The foregoing does not affect your non-waivable rights.

88. Entire Terms. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Site. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” means “including without limitation”.  If any provision of these Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.  Your relationship to us is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other.  These Terms, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without our prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.  We may freely assign these Terms.  The terms and conditions set forth in these Terms shall be binding upon assignees.
