PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY SINCE IT LIMITS THE LIABILITY OF KALEIDR ENTITIES TO YOU. EACH OF THE SUBSECTIONS BELOW ONLY APPLIES UP TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. NOTHING HEREIN IS INTENDED TO LIMIT ANY RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE WHICH MAY NOT BE LAWFULLY LIMITED. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS, INCLUDING THIS SECTION. YOU ARE GIVING UP SUBSTANTIAL LEGAL RIGHTS BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS.
THE SERVICE AND SERVICE CONTENT ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU ON AN “AS IS”, “WITH ALL FAULTS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITH THE EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING THAT THE KALEIDR ENTITIES MAY NOT MONITOR, CONTROL, OR VET USER CONTENT OR THIRD PARTY CONTENT.

ACCORDINGLY, THE KALEIDR ENTITIES ARE NOT LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, LOSS OR DAMAGE THAT MIGHT ARISE FROM ANY SUCH THIRD PARTY’S ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS, INCLUDING, FOR EXAMPLE, IF ANOTHER USER OR BUSINESS MISUSES YOUR CONTENT, IDENTITY OR PERSONAL INFORMATION, OR IF YOU HAVE A NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE WITH ONE OF THE BUSINESSES OR ADVERTISERS LISTED OR FEATURED ON THE SERVICE. YOUR PURCHASE AND USE OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OFFERED BY THIRD PARTIES THROUGH THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK.
YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RIGHT AND REMEDY IN CASE OF DISSATISFACTION WITH THE SERVICE, RELATED SERVICES, OR ANY OTHER GRIEVANCE SHALL BE YOUR TERMINATION AND DISCONTINUATION OF ACCESS TO, OR USE OF THE SERVICE.
THE KALEIDR’S MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR LOSSES OR DAMAGES THAT YOU SUFFER IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (i) THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU TO KALEIDR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE ACTION GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (ii) $100.

If you are a resident of the United States or Canada:
Choice of Law, Jurisdiction and Venue. These Terms are to be governed by and interpreted under Delaware law, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Both you and Kaleidr agree that all disputes that are not subject to mandatory arbitration as described in these Terms shall be resolved exclusively in state and federal courts located within New Castle County, Delaware and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of, and venue in, these courts for the purpose of litigating any such disputes.
Mutual Arbitration Agreement. You and Kaleidr agree to the arbitration and dispute resolution terms in this Section (Section 12) (the “Arbitration Agreement”). We encourage you to carefully read these important terms, which include a requirement that claims arising out of or relating to the Terms of Service, or your use of the Kaleidr Service, shall be brought individually and not on a class-wide basis, and shall be subject to binding arbitration. You and Kaleidr agree to arbitrate all disputes between us including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, the Terms of Service, or your use of the Service, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, except as otherwise provided in Section 12(a)(iii). This Arbitration Agreement supersedes any prior Arbitration Agreement entered by the parties and is applicable to unfiled claims that arose, were asserted, or involve facts occurring before or after the existence of this Arbitration Agreement as well as to claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.
Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. You and Kaleidr each retain the rights to: (i) have any claims resolved in small claims court on an individual basis within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction; (ii) have any claim, controversy, or cause of action arising from any act in furtherance of a person’s right of petition or free speech under the United States Constitution or the Delaware Constitution resolved in state or federal court; and (iii) bring an action in state or federal court to protect intellectual property rights (like patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets and other confidential or proprietary information, but not privacy or publicity rights).
Arbitration Rules and Forum. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and, notwithstanding the provision above with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S. Code §1 et seq. (“FAA”) will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. If, for whatever reason, the FAA is inapplicable, the state law governing arbitration agreements in the state in which you reside shall apply. The arbitration will be conducted by National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider. The party seeking to arbitrate must forward their arbitration demand to the other party and file their arbitration demand with NAM. Disputes shall be subject to NAM’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms, including the Supplemental Rules for Mass Arbitration Filings (“NAM Rules”). NAM’s rules are also available at www.namadr.com. If NAM is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. The payment of arbitration fees (the fees imposed by the arbitration administrator including filing, arbitrator, and hearing fees) will be governed by the applicable NAM Rules, unless you qualify for a fee waiver under applicable law. If after exhausting any potentially available fee waivers, the arbitrator finds that the arbitration fees will be prohibitive for you as compared to litigation, Kaleidr will pay as much of your filing, arbitrator, and hearing fees in the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive, regardless of the outcome of the arbitration, unless the arbitrator determines that your claim(s) were frivolous or brought for an improper purpose or asserted in bad faith. You and Kaleidr agree that arbitration should be cost-effective for all parties and that any party may engage with NAM to address the reduction or deferral of fees. The parties further agree that NAM has discretion to reduce the amount or modify the timing of any administrative, filing, or arbitration fees due under NAM’s Rules where it deems appropriate (including as specified in Section 12(a)(ix)) provided that such modification does not increase the costs to you, and you further agree that you waive any objection to such fee modification. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise, including as set forth in this Arbitration Agreement. The parties may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person. The arbitrator(s) or the NAM Administrator (if a decision is needed prior to the appointment of the Arbitrator(s)) shall determine the actual location of the hearing. If you are initiating arbitration, a copy of the demand shall also be mailed to Kaleidr Inc., 1209 Orange St, Wilmington, DE 19801, U.S.A. If you are a Kaleidr account holder, any demand filed by you initiating arbitration must include the primary email address associated with your Kaleidr account, as well as any profile associated with that Account that is controlled by you.
Arbitration Demand Must Contain Sufficient Information. Any arbitration demand or counterclaim asserted by either party must contain sufficient information to provide fair notice to the other party of the asserting party’s identity, the claims being asserted, and the factual allegations on which they are based, and must include proof that the claimant is party to this Arbitration Agreement and to these Terms of Service. The arbitrator and/or NAM may require amendment of any demand or counterclaim that does not satisfy these requirements. The arbitrator has the right to impose sanctions for any claims the arbitrator determines to be frivolous or improper, including for any claim filed on behalf of a claimant who is not a party to this Arbitration Agreement or to these Terms of Service.
Class Arbitration and Collective Relief Waiver. YOU AND KALEIDR ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN SECTION 12(a)(ix): ANY ARBITRATION MUST BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS IN OUR RESPECTIVE INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES, AND NOT AS A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO RESOLVE AN INDIVIDUAL PARTY’S CLAIM. NOTWITHSTANDING THIS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND AGREEMENT, ANY ARBITRATION INVOLVING YOU MAY PROCEED ON A CONSOLIDATED BASIS IF AND ONLY IF KALEIDR PROVIDES ITS CONSENT TO CONSOLIDATE IN WRITING.
Jury Trial Waiver. YOU AND KALEIDR EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY.
Arbitrator’s Authority. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (i) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement, and (ii) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable and whether a claim is subject to arbitration. Subject to the applicable NAM rules and procedures, the parties agree that the arbitrator will have the discretion to allow the filing of dispositive motions if they are likely to efficiently resolve or narrow issues in dispute. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the applicable NAM rules and procedures. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. 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 arbitral forum’s rules, and this Arbitration Agreement. Damages and/or other relief must be consistent with the terms of the “Disclaimer and Limitations of Liability” section of these Terms as to the types and the amounts of damages or other relief for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may order the imposition of sanctions against one or more Parties, which may include, but are not limited to, assessment of arbitration fees and costs, attorneys’ fees, and/or any other costs resulting from the sanctionable conduct. Any judgment on the award(s) rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, in the event 25 or more similar arbitration demands (those asserting the same or substantially similar facts or claims, and seeking the same or substantially similar relief) presented by or with the assistance or coordination of the same law firm(s) or organization(s) are submitted to NAM against Kaleidr within a 90 day period (a “Mass Filing”), the parties agree to: (1) administer the Mass Filing in batches of up to 10 claims per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 10 claims left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining claims), regardless of whether any such claims are originally processed as individual arbitrations; (2) the appointment of one arbitrator for each batch, provided that each individual claimant shall retain the opportunity to object to the appointed arbitrator in accordance with NAM Rules and applicable law; (3) accept applicable fees, including any related fee reduction determined by NAM in its discretion; (4) the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award, provided that the parties agree to cooperate in good faith to establish a process to address individual issues; (5) that fees associated with a demand for arbitration included in a Mass Filing, including fees owed by Kaleidr and the claimants, shall only be due after your demand for arbitration is included in a batch proceeding and that batch is properly designated for filing, processing, and adjudication; and (6) make good faith efforts to resolve each batch of demands within 180-days, failing which any of the claimants or Kaleidr may cease arbitration and file in a court of competent jurisdiction (“Batch Arbitration”).
You agree to cooperate in good faith with Kaleidr, the arbitration provider or arbitrator to establish any other processes or procedures that the arbitration provider or arbitrator believe will provide for an efficient resolution of claims. The parties further agree to cooperate with each other and the arbitration provider or arbitrator to establish any other processes or procedures that the arbitration provider or arbitrator believe will provide for an efficient resolution of claims. To the extent the parties disagree on the utilization of Batch Arbitration or as to the process or procedure for batching, the arbitration provider may appoint a sole procedural arbitrator to determine the applicability and implementation of the Batch Arbitration process, in accordance with the arbitration provider’s rules. This provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective, and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly described in this provision. If your demand for arbitration is included in the Mass Filing, your claims will remain tolled until your demand for arbitration is decided, withdrawn, or is settled.
Mediation Following First Batch Arbitration in a Mass Filing. The results of the first batch of demands in the Batch Arbitration will be given to a NAM mediator. The NAM mediator will be selected from a group of 5 mediators initially proposed by NAM, with Kaleidr and the remaining claimants’ counsel each being able to strike one mediator and then rank the remaining mediators. NAM will appoint the highest collectively ranked mediator. The selected mediator will seek to facilitate a resolution of the remaining demands in the Mass Filing. After the results are provided to the mediator, Kaleidr, the remaining claimants and their counsel, and the mediator will have 90 days (the “Mediation Period”) to agree on a resolution or substantive methodology for resolving the outstanding demands. If the parties are unable to resolve the outstanding demands during the Mediation Period, and cannot agree on a methodology for resolving them through further arbitrations, either Kaleidr or any remaining claimant may opt out of the arbitration process and have the demand(s) proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction. Notice of the opt-out will be provided in writing within 60 days after the close of the Mediation Period. If neither Kaleidr nor the remaining claimants opt out and they cannot agree to a methodology for resolving the remaining demands through further arbitration, the arbitrations will continue with the batching process. Absent notice of an opt-out, the arbitrations will proceed in the order determined by the sequential numbers assigned to demands in the Mass Filing.
Changes. Kaleidr will provide thirty (30) days’ notice of any material changes to this “Choice of Law, Binding Arbitration, and Disputes” section. Any such changes will go into effect 30 days after Kaleidr provides notice and will apply to all claims not yet filed regardless of when such claims may have accrued. If Kaleidr changes this “Choice of Law, Binding Arbitration, and Disputes” section after the date you first accepted this Arbitration Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to this Arbitration Agreement), you agree that your continued use of the Service 30 days after such change will be deemed acceptance of those changes.
You may terminate the Terms at any time by closing your Account, discontinuing any access to or use of the Service, and providing Kaleidr with a notice of termination.
Unless otherwise prohibited by law, we may close your Account, suspend your ability to use certain portions of the Service, terminate any license or permission granted to you hereunder, and/or ban you altogether from the Service for any or no reason, and without notice or liability of any kind. Any such action could prevent you from accessing your Account, the Service, Your Content, Service Content, or any other related information.
In the event of any termination of these Terms, whether by you or us, Sections 1, 3, 5, and 7–14 of the Terms of Service will continue in full force and effect.
We reserve the right to modify, update, or discontinue the Service at our sole discretion, at any time, for any or no reason, and without notice or liability.
Except as otherwise stated in Section 9 above, nothing herein is intended, nor will be deemed, to confer rights or remedies upon any third party.
The Terms contain the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Service, and supersede any prior agreement between you and us on such subject matter. The parties acknowledge that no reliance is placed on any representation made but not expressly contained in these Terms.
Any failure on Kaleidr’s part to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. The Terms may not be waived, except pursuant to a writing executed by Kaleidr.
If any provision of the Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, then only that provision shall be modified to reflect the parties’ intention or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
The Terms, and any rights or obligations hereunder, are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with Kaleidr’s prior written consent, but may be assigned or transferred by us without restriction. Any attempted assignment by you shall violate these Terms and be void.
You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, agency, special or fiduciary relationship exists between you and Kaleidr as a result of these Terms or your use of the Service.
The section titles in the Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
