YOUR OBLIGATIONS
Charges and Fees. You are responsible for paying the fees, if applicable, associated with the Platform account as noted in the account set up terms or in accordance with your usage of the Platform – inclusive of Transaction Fees. All fees are exclusive of sales and other taxes and you are responsible for payment of any applicable federal, state, local and city taxes. You shall not be liable for any taxes based on Blue222's net income. You further acknowledge that Blue222 may charge a subscription fee or other fee related to your access to the Platform as specified when you set up your user account. If you owe Blue222 fees for your access to the Platform, Blue222 reserves the right to assess late payment interest of the lessor 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permitted by law. If payment method is declined, or you fail to timely pay fees due, you agree to indemnify and hold Blue222 harmless from any costs and expenses incurred, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in collection efforts. We also reserve the right to suspend or cancel your user account if a fee is not paid timely or cured.
Credit Card Payments. If you elect to pay fees, if applicable, by credit card, you are responsible for providing a valid credit card number at the time you register to pay. You represent and warrant that you are an authorized user of the credit card number provided, and you agree to pay all charges resulting from your account for the Platform at the fees then in effect, including any unauthorized charges incurred prior to your notice to Blue222 of such charges. You agree that Blue222 may pass your credit card information and personal information to Blue222's designated payment processors for their use in processing the credit card payment for the Platform.
Passwords/Security. You shall be solely responsible for the security and integrity of all messages and the content that you receive, transmit or store via the Platform. You are responsible for taking all reasonable steps to ensure that no unauthorized person shall have access to your user account or password. You agree to bear all responsibility for the confidentiality of your password and all use or charges incurred from use of the Platform with your account credentials.
Confidentiality. You shall hold all nonpublic technical or business information regarding Blue222's Platform, as well as your user account access information provided to you by a company under a platform license agreement with Blue222 (collectively "Confidential Information") in trust and confidence and you agree that it shall be used solely for your internal use of the Platform, and it shall not be disclosed to any third party under any circumstances whatsoever. You shall use a reasonable standard of care to prevent unauthorized disclosure, use or publication of such Confidential Information.
ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS PROVISION CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. THESE PROVISIONS AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS; PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
You and we agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions. This Section is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between you and us, including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between you and Blue222 or your use of the Platform or any Content, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before this Agreement or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to advertising); and claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of intellectual property right infringement claims and other injunctive relief claims, as provided below.
By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve any and all such disputes with Blue222 as follows:
• Binding Arbitration: You and we agree to discuss in good faith any concern you may have arising out of or in connection with these Terms, including any question regarding its validity or breach hereof (a “Dispute”). If you and we cannot resolve a Dispute through good faith discussions within sixty (60) days, then, upon the written request of either you or us, such Dispute will be referred to and finally resolved by final, binding and confidential arbitration under Arbitration Rules and Procedures of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service, Inc. (JAMS) then in effect (“Rules”) which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause.
o The number of arbitrators shall be one, appointed in accordance with the Rules. All arbitration proceedings shall take place in a mutually agreed upon location, including without limitation an electronic meeting option. The language of the proceedings shall be English. You and we undertake as a general principle to keep confidential all awards in the arbitration, together with all materials in the proceedings created for the purpose of the arbitration and all other documents produced by either you or us in the proceedings not otherwise in the public domain - save and to the extent that disclosure may be required of you or us by legal duty, to protect or pursue a legal right or to enforce or challenge an award in bona fide legal proceedings before a state court or other judicial authority. The deliberation of the arbitrator is likewise confidential to its members, save and to the extent that disclosure of an arbitrator's refusal to participate in the arbitration is required by the Rules. We will cover the first $250 of the arbitration costs for you. The prevailing party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with any costs and expenses, to resolve the Dispute and to enforce final judgment (subject only to our coverage of the first $250 of your costs). Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
o The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
• Exception: Notwithstanding the foregoing, Blue222 shall have the right at any time, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek injunctive or other equitable relief for your violation of any confidentiality obligation or infringement of our intellectual property rights, as such violation may cause immediate and irreparable harm to us for which money damages may not constitute an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, the parties agree that, in the event you breach or threaten to breach your obligations of confidentiality or our intellectual property rights, Blue222 shall have the right to seek, in any court of competent jurisdiction, an injunction to restrain said breach or threatened breach, without posting any bond or other security.
• Class Action Waiver: The parties further agree that the arbitration will be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND BLUE222 AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above will be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties will be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
• 30-Day Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending (from the email address you use on your user account) written notice of your decision to opt out to Blue222 at the email address noted below with the subject line, "ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT." The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of the later of the Effective Date of these Terms or your first use of the Platform; otherwise, you will be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Blue222 also will not be bound by them.
• Changes to This Section: Company will provide thirty (30) days' notice of any changes affecting the substance of this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section by posting on the Company Terms of Use website, sending you a message, or otherwise notifying you when you are logged into your account. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the Company Terms of Use website or sent to you. Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the 30th day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on "Changes to This Section" is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection will be severed from the section entitled “Arbitration and Class Action Waiver,” and the court or arbitrator will apply the first Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section in existence after you began using the Platform.
• Survival: This Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section will survive any termination of your user account or the Platform.
