Full Details of the Series Terms of Service

1. Service Features and Access, Identity Authentication and Background Checks

A. Service Features.

(i) Overview.  By creating a Series account, you may receive access to the various features on the Service, including, but not limited to, a demand deposit account (your “Series Deposit Account”), virtual and physical cards that you can use to make purchases using funds in your Series Deposit Account (your “Series Cards”), debt financing, and other services as made available from time to time by Series and/or Banking Services Providers.  We may establish and maintain any other functionality from time to time and in our sole discretion.

(ii) Series Deposit Account.  By creating a Series account, you may have access to a Series Deposit Account—a demand deposit account held with us or our Banking Services Provider, subject to these Terms and any Additional Terms.  The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation fully insures your funds up to $250,000; for more information, see https://www.fdic.gov/resources/deposit-insurance/. Your Series Deposit Account may be used in connection with the provision of the other features.  You may also use your Series Deposit Account to the extent provided in any Additional Terms. 

(iii) Series Virtual and Physical Cards.  By creating a Series account, you may have access to Series Cards.

• Requesting and Receiving Series Cards. When you sign up for a Series Deposit Account for your business, upon request you may be issued one physical Series Card.  You may request additional virtual and physical Series Cards for your employees, contractors, or other people affiliated with your business.

• Spending Limits, Payments, and Refunds. The available funds in your Deposit Account limit spending on your Series Cards.  Your Series Card transactions will be settled as they occur by debiting your Series Deposit Account in an amount equal to each Series Card transaction.  Refunds to your Series Card will be applied to your Series Deposit Account.  Use your Series Card for preauthorized, recurring, or membership payments.  You should regularly monitor the available funds in your Series Deposit Account to ensure that funds are available to make those payments.  If funds are not available at the time a preauthorized, recurring or membership payment is attempted on your Series Card, the transaction will ordinarily be declined.  We will generally decline transactions attempted on your Series Card that would overdraw your Series Deposit Account.  If, however, we do not decline a transaction and that transaction does overdraw your account, we may limit your ability to use other features or spend additional funds from your Series Deposit Account until your Series Deposit Account has a positive balance and the transaction that has overdrawn your account has been paid.  For more information related to the manner in which your Series Card transactions are debited and settled, refer to the Series Card Agreement provided to you at the time of opening your Series Account and requesting a Series Card.

• Disputes. If you have a dispute about a purchase on your Series Card that you cannot resolve with the merchant directly (a “Disputed Charge”), please contact us at legal@seriesfi.com as soon as possible, and in all cases within sixty (60) days of the charge, in accordance with applicable laws.  We cannot help you with the Disputed Charges you reported to us more than sixty (60) days after the charge appears on your account.  Disputed Charges will remain debited from your Series Deposit Account while we determine the outcome of the dispute, in accordance with applicable laws.  We will resolve all disputes in a commercially reasonable timeframe, in accordance with applicable laws.  If we determine you should be reimbursed, we will credit the amount of the Disputed Charge back to your Series Deposit Account and you will not be charged any fees.  If we determine that the Disputed Charge was valid, your Series Deposit Account will not be reimbursed, and you will be charged a fee as may be set forth in the Fee Schedule in Section 4 or provided to you at the time you open a Series Account, periodically when fees or charges change, or upon request.  You assign and transfer to us any rights and claims, excluding tort claims, that you have against a merchant for any Disputed Charge that is fully or partially credited to your Series Deposit Account.  We may assign and transfer the rights you assign and transfer to us under this provision to the Series Card Issuer (defined below).

• Records, Fees, and Communication. All transaction records and periodic statements may be found in your dashboard for your account.  All fees associated with the Series Cards may be found in the Series Card Agreement provided to you at the time of opening your Series Account and requesting a Series Card.

 (iv) Mobile Remote Deposit Capture.  By creating a Series account, you may have access to Mobile Deposit, which allows you to remotely deposit paper checks into your Series Deposit Account through the Series App.  Mobile Deposit allows for the deposit, processing, and collection of a check.  When using Mobile Deposit, you may also be subject to Additional Terms, including any funds availability disclosure section of those terms.  We reserve the right to reject any deposit for any reason.

• Depositing Your Check. You are responsible for creating an accurate deposit.  To deposit your check, you must endorse the check, enter the correct amount of the check (you are liable for any errors you make during the deposit process), and create a check image using the camera on your mobile device to take a picture of the front and back of your check. You may only deposit eligible items through the mobile remote deposit capture service.  To mitigate the risk of fraud or the presentment of duplicate items, you agree to mark on the original paper check that the item has been deposited electronically.  You also agree to retain all checks deposited via mobile remote deposit capture for at least two business days after the deposit is made and to destroy all deposited checks as soon as reasonably possible, and in no event later than thirty (30) days after the deposit.

• Returned Items. You acknowledge and agree that we may charge you any fees associated with a returned item if a check is returned to us for any reason.

• Representations and Warranties. In addition to any other representations and warranties applicable to your Series Deposit Account, concerning each deposit, you make any representation or warranty that would have applied had you deposited the original paper check.  This includes representations and warranties on your behalf when we transfer, present, or originate the deposit created from your check image.  These representations and warranties include but are not limited to, that: (a) the transmissions contain accurate images of the front and back of the original checks; (b) the transmissions contain all necessary endorsements; and (c) no depository bank, drawee, drawer, or endorser will be asked to make a payment based on an item that it has already paid.

(v) Digital Checks.  You may send digital checks to payees from your Series Deposit Account.  Payees can print the digital check or present the digital check via email or other electronic means to the payee’s bank for deposit.  By creating and authorizing the issuance of a digital check or remotely created check (“RCC”), you authorize Series to honor the RCC in the amount and to the payee stated on the RCC even though the RCCs do not contain your signature.  You authorize Series to debit your account for any claim or return based upon an unauthorized RCC and you agree to indemnify and hold Series harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) resulting directly or indirectly from any breach of the foregoing warranty.

(vi) NO LEGAL, TAX, OR FINANCIAL ADVICE.  SERIES DOES NOT INTEND TO PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY LEGAL, TAX, OR FINANCIAL ADVICE THROUGH THE SERVICE.  SERIES IS NOT A LAWYER, TAX ADVISOR, BROKER, OR FINANCIAL PLANNER.  SERIES ENCOURAGES YOU TO CONSIDER CONSULTING AN ACCOUNTANT OR OTHER FINANCIAL ADVISOR AWARE OF YOUR INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES BEFORE IMPLEMENTING ANY FINANCIAL STRATEGY OR MAKING OTHER FINANCIAL DECISION.

B. Account Access.  No one under eighteen (18) years of age is allowed to create an account or use the Service.  In order to access or use some (or potentially all) of the features on the Service, you may be required to first apply for a user account through our application process that we make available through the Service and, if your application is accepted in Series’ sole discretion and you register for a user account, pay a membership fee as described in Section 4.  The Service’s practices governing any resulting collection and use of your personal information are disclosed in our Privacy Policy.  If you register for any feature that requires a password and/or username, then you will select your own password at the time of registration (or we may send you an e-mail notification with a randomly generated initial password) and you agree that: (i) You will not use a username (or e-mail address) that is already being used by someone else, may impersonate another person, belongs to another person, violates the intellectual property or other right of any person or entity, or is offensive.  We may reject the use of any password, username, or e-mail address for any other reason in our sole discretion; (ii) You will provide true, accurate, current, and complete registration information about yourself in connection with the registration process and, as permitted, to maintain and update it continuously and promptly to keep it accurate, current, and complete; (iii) You are solely responsible for all activities that occur under your account, password, and username—whether or not you authorized the activity; (iv) You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for restricting access to your Device so that others may not access any password protected portion of the Service using your name, username, or password; (v) You will immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account, password, or username, or any other breach of security; and (vi) You will not sell, transfer, or assign your account or any account rights.  We will not be liable for any loss or damage (of any kind and under any legal theory) to you or any third party arising from your inability or failure for any reason to comply with any of the foregoing obligations.  If any information that you provide, or if we have reasonable grounds to suspect that any information that you provide, is false, inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, or violates these Terms, any Additional Terms, or any applicable law, then we may suspend or terminate your account.  We may provide your information to our Banking Services Provider and other third-party service providers to determine your eligibility for the Service along with meeting requirements set by state and federal laws.  We also reserve the more general and broad right to terminate your account or suspend or otherwise deny you access to it or its benefits—all in our sole discretion, for any reason, and without advance notice or liability.  You are responsible for all activity on your account.  If you violate our policies we may terminate your account.  Don’t do anything illegal, abusive towards others, or that abuses our Service in a technical way. 

C. Identity Authentication.  You authorize us, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries we consider necessary to validate your identity and certain information.  This may include asking you for further information, requiring you to provide your company information, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to reasonably identify you, requiring you to take steps to confirm ownership of your email address or financial instruments, ordering a credit report, or verifying your information against third party databases or through other sources, thus obtaining and verifying all documentation and identification for the beneficiary owners. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents at any time.  If you use certain services on the Service, federal law may require additional information from you to verify your identity and/or the identity of your business, to obtain other information about you and/or your business, to open and maintain accounts and aspects of the Service, to assess your financial condition, and to evaluate the risks associated with your business.  You expressly consent and authorize us to retrieve information about you and/or your business and its owners or directors from our vendors and other third parties to assess the history and risks of the business and to prevent fraud, including by obtaining information from credit reporting agencies and information bureaus, which you authorize and direct to compile and provide such information to us.  Series reserves the right to close, suspend, or limit access to your account and/or the Service in the event we are unable to obtain or verify this information.  

D. Background Checks.  Series reserves the right, at our discretion, to perform any and all reasonable investigations for the purpose of verifying information about you, such as source of funds, credit profile, background history, and criminal history along with all documentation and identification for determining the beneficiary owners.  When you register for an account on the Service, you authorize and consent for Series to conduct a background check on you, including, without limitation, for the purpose of fulfilling federal and state compliance obligations.  You expressly waive the right to receive any disclosures that would normally be required to be made to you by applicable laws as part of an employment screening as you acknowledge that the purpose of the background check is not for employment purposes but rather to ensure lawful and proper use the Service.  Series may use a third party service provider to issue the background check and you authorize Series to provide your information to such third party for purposes of obtaining such background check.  To the extent you fail the background check, in Series’ sole and absolute discretion, you may be denied the ability to access and use the Service.  SERIES RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT ANY BACKGROUND CHECK OR OTHER SCREENINGS AT ANY TIME AND USING AVAILABLE PUBLIC RECORDS OR OTHER THIRD PARTY SOURCES.  YOU EXPRESSLY CONSENT TO SERIES CONDUCTING SUCH A BACKGROUND CHECK AT THE TIME YOU REGISTER FOR AN ACCOUNT ON THE SERVICE.

D. Free Trials/Promotional Offerings.  We may offer promotional trial memberships to access the Service for free for a limited time or at special discounted prices.  If you sign up for a trial use, your rights to use the Service are limited by the terms of such trial and will terminate or renew on the terms of your trial arrangement and/or any applicable Additional Terms.  Please be aware that when you sign up for a free trial, you may be required to provide your credit card number and Series will confirm your credit card is valid.  When we process your credit card, some credit card companies may place a temporary hold on your account for your first payment.  Please contact your credit card company if you have questions.  Please note that we do not provide price protection or refunds in the event of a price drop or promotional offering.  ONCE YOUR FREE TRIAL ENDS, WE OR A THIRD PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSOR WILL BEGIN BILLING YOUR DESIGNATED PAYMENT METHOD ON A RECURRING BASIS FOR YOUR MEMBERSHIP (PLUS ANY APPLICABLE TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES) FOR AS LONG AS YOUR MEMBERSHIP CONTINUES, UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP PRIOR TO THE END OF YOUR FREE TRIAL.  INSTRUCTIONS FOR CANCELING YOUR MEMBERSHIP ARE DESCRIBED BELOW.  WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY OR TERMINATE FREE TRIALS AT ANY TIME, WITHOUT NOTICE AND IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.

E. Auto-Renewal of Membership.  Your membership to the Service will automatically renew at the end of your Membership Term continuously and indefinitely without action by you, and the membership fee is charged to you at the time of renewal. Series send notices to enrollees reminding them that their membership (or free trial) is soon ending and they will be automatically billed for the next membership period. An enrollee whose membership fee has been paid is entitled to all privileges included in the membership until the membership is cancelled by the enrollee as set forth in the paragraph below.  By providing your payment method information for your membership, you are agreeing to pay a membership fee, that will automatically renew, at the then current rate, unless you cancel prior to the expiration of the current Membership Term, and any applicable taxes and service fees (collectively, “Fees”).  The Fees will be charged to your original payment method automatically at the beginning of your Membership Term, and at the beginning of each renewal Membership Term thereafter on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your current Membership Term, unless you cancel your membership or your account is suspended or terminated pursuant to these Terms.  The renewal Membership Term will be the same length as your initial Membership Term unless otherwise disclosed to you at the time of purchase.  The rate for the renewal Membership Term will be the then current membership rate.  The Fees charged to your payment method may vary from Membership Term to Membership Term due to changes in your membership plan or applicable taxes, and you authorize Series to charge your payment method for these amounts.  You agree that we may change the pricing we charge you for your membership and any products/services offered through your membership by providing you with notice through an electronic communication from us and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.  You consent to our ability to change our fees and the details of our membership features through an electronic communication to you that will be sent 10 days in advance.  If you do not wish to accept a fee or membership feature change made by us, you may cancel your membership as described below, otherwise you will be deemed to have consented to the fee/membership change and authorize Series to charge the new Fees to your payment method.  If there are any discrepancies in billing, you hereby waive your right to dispute such discrepancies if you do not notify Series within sixty (60) days after they first appear on an account statement.  

F. Cancellation of Membership.  You have the right to cancel your account at any time through your account settings on the Service’s platform and by following the appropriate steps described to successfully cancel your account.  If you have issues cancelling your account or membership, please email us at team@seriesfi.com. Cancellation of initial membership any time after purchase will result in forfeiture of the Fee.  To avoid a late cancellation fee or forfeiture of the membership renewal Fee, your membership should be cancelled prior to the end of the then current Membership Term.  Upon cancellation, you may lose access to your Series account and the features that come with it.  This could include any account information, features, data, stats, and analyses that have been displayed during your membership.  To the extent that you continued to get charged after cancellation of your membership due to Series error or otherwise, you agree that your sole remedy will be to receive a refund from Series for the overcharged amounts.

10. Dispute Resolution 

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION CAREFULLY, AS YOU ARE WAIVING CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF ANY DISPUTE WITH US AND ARE AGREEING TO BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AMONG OTHER THINGS.

A. First – Try to Resolve Disputes and Excluded Disputes.  If any controversy, allegation, or claim arises out of or relates to the Service, the Content, your User-Generated Content, these Terms, or any Additional Terms, whether heretofore or hereafter arising (collectively, “Dispute”), or to any of Series’ actual or alleged intellectual property rights (an “Excluded Dispute”), which includes those actions set forth in Section 10(D), then you and we 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.  Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us.  But if no such contact information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this Section 10(A).  Your notice to us must be sent via certified U.S. mail to: All Blue Labs Inc., d/b/a/ Series Financial, 548 Market Street, San Francisco, CA 94104 (Attn: Legal Department).  The written description included in your notice must be on an individual basis and provide at least the following information: your name; the nature or basis of the claim or dispute; the date of any purchase or transaction at issue (if any and if available), and the relief sought.  For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, Series and you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, through an informal telephonic dispute resolution conference between you and Series in order to attempt to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, though nothing will require either you or Series to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute on terms with respect to which you and Series, in each of our sole discretion, are not comfortable.  The informal telephonic dispute resolution conferences shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party intends to commence individual arbitration; multiple individuals initiating claims cannot participate in the same informal telephonic dispute resolution conference.  If either party is represented by counsel, that party’s counsel may participate in the informal telephonic dispute resolution conference, but the party also must appear at and participate in the conference. This informal dispute resolution process is a prerequisite and condition precedent to commencing any formal dispute resolution proceeding.  The parties agree that any relevant limitations period and filing fee or other deadlines will be tolled while the parties engage in this informal dispute resolution process.  Certain portions of this Section 10(A) are deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act.  You and Series agree that we intend that this Section 10(A) satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”).

B. Binding Arbitration.  If we cannot resolve a Dispute as set forth in Section 10(A) within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice, then ANY DISPUTE ARISING BETWEEN YOU AND SERIES OR ANY OF ITS AGENTS, VENDORS, CONTRACTORS, OR OTHER THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OF THESE TERMS (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 INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION.  The FAA, not state law, shall govern the arbitrability of all disputes between Series and you regarding these Terms (and any Additional Terms) and the Service 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.  Series and you agree, however, that the applicable state, federal or provincial law, as contemplated in Section 10(J) below, shall apply to and govern, as appropriate, any and all claims or causes of action, remedies, and damages arising between you and Series regarding these Terms and the Service, whether arising or stated in contract, statute, common law, or any other legal theory, without regard to any jurisdiction’s choice of law principles.  An Excluded Dispute will only be subject to binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 10 if the parties mutually agree.  Any Dispute will be resolved solely by binding arbitration in accordance with the then-current: (i) Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect since the matter involves a “consumer” agreement as defined by Consumer Arbitration Rule R-1; and if such Consumer Arbitration Rules do not apply then: (ii) the Commercial Arbitration Rules (collectively, “Rules”) of the 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 an officer or legal representative of Series consent to in writing.  

C. Arbitration Process. If after sixty (60) days the informal dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 10(A) above is unsuccessful in resolving the parties’ dispute, a party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the Rules.  (The AAA provides applicable forms for Demands for Arbitration available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Demand_for_Arbitration_0.pdf  (Commercial Arbitration Rules) and https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer_Demand_for_Arbitration_Form_1.pdf (Consumer Arbitration Rules), and a separate affidavit for waiver of fees for California residents only is available at https://adr.org/sites/default/files/Waiver_of_Fees_CA_Only.pdf.)  The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state or county in which you reside.  The parties will first attempt to agree on an arbitrator. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within twenty-one (21) days of receiving the AAA’s list of eligible neutrals, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the Rules.  The arbitration may be conducted by telephone or based on written submissions, and if an in-person hearing is required, then it will be conducted in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed upon location.  You and we will pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees and other costs (and please note that you will be responsible for a portion or percentage of such fees) in accordance with the requirements of the Rules; but if the Rules (or other applicable arbitration rules or laws) require Series to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this Section 10 to be enforceable, then Series will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration.  Except as set forth in Section 10(D), the arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator who will apply and be bound by these Terms and any Additional Terms, 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.  The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the Rules.  The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award.  Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages on an individual basis and to grant, on an individual basis, any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual to the extent available under applicable law, the Rules, and these Terms.  The arbitrator’s award of damages and/or other relief must be consistent with the terms of the Limitations of our Liability Section above as to the types and the amounts of damages or other relief for which a party may be held liable.  If a claim is brought seeking public injunctive relief and a court determines that the restrictions prohibiting the arbitrator from awarding relief on behalf of third parties are unenforceable with respect to such claim (and that determination becomes final after all appeals have been exhausted), the claim for public injunctive relief will be determined in court and any individual claims will be arbitrated.  In such a case, the court shall stay the claim for public injunctive relief until the arbitration pertaining to individual relief has been entered in court.  In no event will a claim for public injunctive relief be arbitrated.  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. Attorneys’ fees will be available to the prevailing party in the arbitration only if authorized under applicable substantive law governing the claims in the arbitration.  If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), Series will have the right to recover its attorneys’ fees and expenses. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms or the Service.  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.

D. Special Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration. If twenty five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against Series by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated, you understand and agree that the resolution of your Dispute might be delayed.  You also agree to the following coordinated bellwether process and application of the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule.  Counsel for the claimants and counsel for Series shall each select five (5) cases (per side) to proceed first in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process; the parties may but are not required to agree in writing to modify the number of cases to be included in the bellwether process.  The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings pursuant to this provision.  In the bellwether process, a single arbitrator shall preside over each case.  Only one case may be assigned to each arbitrator during the bellwether process unless the parties agree otherwise.  After decisions have been rendered in the first ten (10) cases, Series and all claimants shall engage in a global mediation in an attempt to resolve the remaining cases with the benefit of the decisions in the bellwether cases.  If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the mediation, each side shall select another ten (10) cases (per side) to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a second bellwether process.  After decisions have been rendered in the second group of twenty (20) cases, Series and all claimants shall engage in a second global mediation in an attempt to resolve the remaining cases with the benefit of the decisions in the decided bellwether cases; if a global settlement cannot be reached in the second mediation, the parties also may discuss with the mediator the process for resolving the remaining cases with the benefit of the decisions in the first two (2) rounds of bellwether cases; the parties are not required to agree to any modifications to the process set forth herein.  Absent a settlement or agreement to modify the procedure for arbitrating the remaining cases, in order to increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, the arbitration provider shall: (i) administer the arbitration demands in batches of fifty (50) demands per batch (to the extent there are fewer than fifty (50) arbitration demands left over after the batching described above, a final batch will consist of the remaining demands); (ii) designate one (1) arbitrator for each batch; and (iii) provide for a single filing fee due per side per batch.  You agree to cooperate in good faith with Series and the arbitration provider to implement such a “batch approach” or other similar approach to provide for an efficient resolution of claims, including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of claims.  This “batch arbitration” provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing class arbitration of any kind.  Series does not agree or consent to class arbitration, private attorney general arbitration, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as set forth in this Section 10(D).  The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for claims subject to this Section 10(D) from the time of the first cases are selected for a bellwether process until the time your case is selected to proceed, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved.  A court shall have authority to enforce this Section 10(D) and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing or prosecution of arbitration demands against Series.

E. Limited Time to File Claims.  TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR WE WANT TO ASSERT A DISPUTE (BUT NOT A EXCLUDED DISPUTE) AGAINST THE OTHER, THEN YOU OR WE MUST COMMENCE IT (BY DELIVERY OF WRITTEN NOTICE AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 9(A)) 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 in Section 10(A); (b) filing for arbitration with JAMS as set forth in Section 10(B); or (c) filing an action in state or federal court.  The parties expressly waive any contrary statute of limitations or time bars, both legal and equitable, to the Disputes.

F. Injunctive Relief.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 10 will not apply to any legal action taken by Series 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 the Service, the Content, your User-Generated Content, these Terms and/or Series’ intellectual property rights (including such Series may claim that may be in dispute), Series’ operations, and/or Series’ products or services.  

G. No Class Action Matters.  YOU AND WE 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 OR AS AN ASSOCIATION.  Except as expressly contemplated for mass arbitrations set forth in Section 10(D), 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 in Section 10(B) to arbitrate will not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in court pursuant to Section 10(H).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10, 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.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the foregoing class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then this entire arbitration agreement shall be void.  If any portion of this arbitration agreement other than the class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this arbitration agreement.  

H. Federal and State Courts in San Francisco, California.  Except where arbitration is required above, small claims actions, 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 state or federal court in San Francisco, California.  Accordingly, you and Series consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters.

I. Small Claims Matters Are Excluded from Arbitration Requirement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of us may bring qualifying claim of Disputes (but not Excluded Disputes) in small claims court on an individual basis for disputes and actions within the scope of such court’s competent jurisdiction. 

J. Governing Law.  These Terms and any Additional Terms 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 California, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.

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.

12. LIMITATIONS OF OUR LIABILITY

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER ANY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY SERIES 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:

(i) the Service (including the Content and the User-Generated Content); 

(ii) your use of or inability to use the Service, or the performance of the Service; 

(iii) any action taken in connection with an investigation by Series Parties or law enforcement authorities regarding your access to or use of the Service;

The foregoing limitations of liability will apply even if any of the foregoing events or circumstances were foreseeable and even if Series 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 the Service).  

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.  

EXCEPT AS MAY BE PROVIDED IN ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL SERIES PARTIES’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU, FOR ALL POSSIBLE DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE AND YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THESE TERMS, EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID SERIES TO ACCESS THE SERVICE OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION(S) THAT UNDERLIE THE CLAIM(S); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THIS PROVISION WILL NOT APPLY IF A TRIBUNAL WITH APPLICABLE JURISDICTION FINDS SUCH TO BE UNCONSCIONABLE.  FOR PURPOSES OF CLARITY, THE PRIOR SENTENCE DOES NOT EXPAND OR LIMIT ANY EXPRESS, WRITTEN PRODUCT WARRANTY THAT IS PROVIDED BY US.

13. Updates to Terms

These Terms (or if applicable Additional Terms), in the form posted at the time of your use of the applicable services to which it applies, shall govern such use (including transactions entered during such use).  AS OUR SERVICE CHANGES, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH WE OFFER THE SERVICE MAY PROSPECTIVELY BE MODIFIED AND WE MAY CEASE OFFERING THE SERVICE UNDER THE TERMS OR ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR WHICH THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY OFFERED.  ACCORDINGLY, EACH TIME YOU SIGN IN TO OR OTHERWISE USE THE SERVICE YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A NEW AGREEMENT WITH US ON THE THEN APPLICABLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY NOTIFY YOU OF OTHER TERMS BY POSTING THEM ON THE SERVICE (OR IN ANY OTHER REASONABLE MANNER OF NOTICE WHICH WE ELECT), AND THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE 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 and any applicable Additional Terms each time you use the Service (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 we post 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 Service 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 are all reasonable manners of providing you with notice.  You can reject any new, revised or Additional Terms by discontinuing use of the Service and related services.

14. General Provisions

A. Series’ Consent or Approval.  As to any provision in these Terms or any Additional Terms that grant Series a right of consent or approval, or permits Series to exercise a right in its “sole discretion,” Series may exercise that right in its sole and absolute discretion.  No opt-in consent or approval may be deemed to have been granted by Series without being in writing and signed by an officer of Series.   

B. Indemnity.  You agree to, and you hereby, defend, indemnify, and hold Series Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, investigations, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, settlements, interest, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) that directly or indirectly arise from or are related to any claim, suit, action, demand, or proceeding made or brought against any Series Party, or on account of the investigation, defense, or settlement thereof, arising out of or in connection with, whether occurring heretofore or hereafter: (i) your User-Generated Content; (ii) your use of the Service and your activities in connection with the Service; (iii) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms or any Additional Terms; (iv) your violation or alleged violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes, statutes, ordinances, or orders of any governmental or quasi-governmental authorities in connection with your use of the Service or your activities in connection with the Service; (v) information or material transmitted through your Device, even if not submitted by you, that infringes, violates, or misappropriates any copyright, trademark, trade secret, trade dress, patent, publicity, privacy, or other right of any person or entity; (vi) any misrepresentation made by you; (vii) any other party’s access and/or use of the Service with your account; and (viii) Series Parties’ use of the information or content that you submit to us (including your User-Generated Content) (all of the foregoing, “Claims and Losses”).  You will cooperate as fully required by Series Parties in the defense of any Claims and Losses.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Series Parties retain the exclusive right to settle, compromise, and pay any and all Claims and Losses.  Series Parties reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any Claims and Losses.  You will not settle any Claims and Losses without, in each instance, the prior written consent of an officer of a Series Party.

C. Operation of Service; Availability of Products and Services; International Issues.  Series controls and operates the Service from its U.S.-based offices, and the Service is primarily intended for users located in the U.S.  Series makes no representation that the Service is appropriate or available for use beyond the U.S.  These Terms comply with U.S. law only.  If you use the Service 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.  The Service may describe products and services that are available only in the U.S. (or only parts of it) and are not available worldwide.  We reserve the right to limit the availability of the Service and/or the provision of any content, program, product, service, or other feature described or available on the Service 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 we disclaim any application to these Terms of the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

D. Export Controls.  Software related to or made available by the Service may be subject to export controls of the U.S.  No software from the Service may be downloaded, exported, or re-exported: (i) into (or to a national or resident of) any country or other jurisdiction to which the U.S. has embargoed goods, software, technology or services (which, as of the effective date of these Terms, includes Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Sudan, and Syria); (ii) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Deny Orders; or (iii) to anyone on the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security Entities List as published in the Export Administration Regulations (including entities engaged in weapons of mass destruction proliferation in various countries and persons and entities that are suspected of diverting U.S. origin items to embargoed countries or terrorist end-uses).  You are responsible for complying with all trade regulations and laws both foreign and domestic.  Except as authorized by law, you agree and warrant not to export or re-export the software to any county, or to any person, entity, or end-user subject to U.S. export controls, including as set forth in subsections (i) – (iii) above.

E. Severability; Interpretation.  If any provision of these Terms, or any Additional Terms, 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 or the Additional Terms, and the invalidity of the provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of these Terms or the Additional Terms (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 or any Additional Terms, 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.

F. Communications.  As permitted by applicable law, when you communicate with us electronically, such as via email and/or text message, you consent to receive communications from us electronically.  Please note that we are not obligated to respond to inquiries that we receive.  You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.  

G. Investigations; Cooperation with Law Enforcement; Termination; Survival.  Series reserves the right, without any limitation, to: (i) investigate any suspected breaches of its Service security or its information technology or other systems or networks; (ii) investigate any suspected breaches of these Terms and any Additional Terms; (iii) investigate any information obtained by Series in connection with reviewing law enforcement databases or complying with criminal laws; (iv) involve and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in investigating any of the foregoing matters; (v) prosecute violators of these Terms and any Additional Terms; and (vi) discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, or, except as may be expressly set forth in any Additional Terms, suspend or terminate your access to it, in whole or in part, including any user accounts or registrations, at any time, without notice, for any reason and without any obligation to you or any third party.   Any suspension or termination will not affect your obligations to Series under these Terms or any Additional Terms.  Upon suspension or termination of your access to the Service, or upon notice from Series, all rights granted to you under these Terms or any Additional Terms will cease immediately, and you agree that you will immediately discontinue use of the Service.  The provisions of these Terms and any Additional Terms (including the terms applicable to User-Generated Content), which by their nature should survive your suspension or termination will survive, including the rights and licenses you grant to Series in these Terms, as well as the indemnities, releases, disclaimers, and limitations on liability and the provisions regarding jurisdiction, choice of law, no class action, and mandatory arbitration.

H. Assignment.  Series may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms and any Additional Terms, in whole or in part, to any party at any time without any notice.  These Terms and any Additional Terms may not be assigned by you, and you may not delegate your duties under them, without the prior written consent of an officer of Series.  

I. No Waiver.  Except as expressly set forth in these Terms or any Additional Terms: (i) no failure or delay by you or Series 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 or any Additional Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.  For avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall be construed to restrict Series’ right to amend these Terms or any Additional Terms as otherwise permitted in those agreements.

J. Connectivity.  You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all Devices and other equipment and software, and all Internet service provider, mobile service, and other services needed for your access to and use of the Service and you will be responsible for all charges related to them.  If you’re unsure what those charges may be, you should ask your service provider before using the Service.
