Subscriber agrees to accept that risk and will not hold Class Action IO liable for any loss, damage, or injury resulting from the interception of information.
18.4 The failure of either party to enforce any provision hereof shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of such provision or of the right to enforce it at a later time.
18.5 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Subscribers and Class Action IO and governs Subscribers use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between Subscribers and Class Action IO (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of this agreement).
18.6 Class Action IO reserves the right to amend this Agreement. In the event of material changes to the Agreement, Class Action IO will notify Subscribers, by email, or by other reasonable means of these changes prior to their enactment. Continued use of the Service by the Subscriber after reasonable notice will be considered acceptance of any new terms.
18.7 Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may assign this Agreement in its entirety without consent of the other party in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets provided the assignee has agreed to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement. Any attempt by a party to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement in breach of this Section shall be void and of no effect.
18.8 Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement and your relationship with Class Action IO shall be governed exclusively by, and will be enforced, construed, and interpreted exclusively in accordance with, the laws applicable in the province of British Columbia, Canada and shall be considered to have been made and accepted in British Columbia, Canada, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. All disputes under this Agreement will be resolved by the courts of British Columbia in Vancouver, and Subscribers consent to the jurisdiction of and venue in such courts and waive any objection as to inconvenient forum. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover costs and legal fees.
19. Arbitration
19.1. Class Action IO and you agree to exclusively arbitrate all disputes and claims arising in connection with this Agreement and/or the Services. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to: (i) claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; (ii) claims that arose before this Agreement or any prior agreement was adopted; (iii) claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and (iv) claims that may arise after any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
19.2. You agree, by entering into these Terms of Service, that you and Class Action IO each are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. These Terms of Service evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Service.
20. Notice of disputes
20.1. For all disputes and claims, you must first give Class Action IO an opportunity to resolve your dispute or claim by sending a written Notice of Dispute (the “Notice”) to Class Action IO at the following address: Office for Dispute Resolution, Class Action IO, 9440 Santa Monica Blvd., Ste. #301, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the dispute or claim and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (a “Demand”). If Class Action IO and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the dispute or claim within 30 days after Notice is received, you or Class Action IO may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Class Action IO or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Class Action IO is entitled.
20.2. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms of Service and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms of Service. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Service, including but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Service are void or voidable. The payment of all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated hereunder will be governed by the AAA Rules.
21. Class Action Waiver
21.1. You and Class Action IO agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. This, however, does not prevent the arbitrator from consolidating more than one person’s claims in a non-class action arbitration proceeding.
21.2. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
22. Jury Trial Waiver
22.1. If a claim proceeds in court for any reason (e.g., if an arbitrator has deemed this arbitration agreement to be invalid or for any other reason not contemplated), rather than through arbitration, both you and Class Action IO each waive any right to a jury trial.
23. Governing Law; Jurisdiction
23.1. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
24. Force Majeure
24.1. Class Action IO shall not be responsible for delays or failure in performance resulting from acts beyond its reasonable control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, war, riot, actual or threatened acts of terrorism, pandemics or other widespread health crisis, labor stoppages, governmental actions, fires, floods, utility failures and earthquakes.
25. Third Party Rights
25.1. The provisions in this Agreement are for the sole benefit of you, the Class Action IO Parties and the assigns of Class Action IO and shall not inure to the benefit of any other person either as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise.
26. Assignment
26.1. You may not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Class Action IO. Class Action IO may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder to any party whatsoever.
27. Severability
27.1. If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law, the unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.
28. Waiver
28.1. The failure of either party to insist upon or enforce strict performance by the other party of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of the right of such party to assert or rely upon such provision or right in any other instance.
29. Miscellaneous; Entire Agreement
29.1. This Agreement (including any amendments hereto, your registration form, and the Class Action IO Privacy Policy) constitutes the entire agreement between you and Class Action IO. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the intentions of the parties as reflected in that provision and the allocation of risks set forth in this Agreement, and agree that the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The headings in this Agreement are included for convenience only.
30. Acknowledgement
30.1. You certify that you have read and understand this Agreement and state that you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. You agree to comply with all city, county, state and federal laws and ordinances relating to the Class Action IO Services.
