By accessing and/or using the Platform, or by clicking a button or checking a box marked “I Agree” (or something similar), you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, and you acknowledge that you have read and understood our Privacy Notice, as further described in Section 8.1 (Privacy). We reserve the right to modify these Terms, and we will provide notice of material changes as described below. These Terms apply to all visitors and users of the Platform, and to all others who access the Platform (collectively, “Users,” and, as applicable to you, “you” or “your”).
Please read these terms carefully to ensure that you understand each provision. These terms contain a mandatory individual arbitration provision in Section 17.2 (the “Arbitration Agreement”) and a class action/jury trial waiver provision in Section 17.3 (the “Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver”) that require, unless you opt out pursuant to the instructions in the arbitration agreement, the exclusive use of final and binding arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes between you and us, including any claims that arose or were asserted before you agreed to these terms. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (as defined below), you expressly waive your right to seek relief in a court of law and to have a jury trial on your claims, as well as your right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, private attorney general, or representative action or proceeding.
1. How We Administer the Platform
1.1 Eligibility.
This is a contract between you and LimeBricks. You must read and agree to these Terms before using the Platform. If you do not agree, you may not use the Platform. You may use the Platform only if you can form a legally binding contract with us, and only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules, and regulations (“Applicable Law”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any access to, or use of, the Platform by anyone who is a minor (which is under the age of 18 in most jurisdictions) in any applicable jurisdiction (a “Minor”) is strictly prohibited and in violation of these Terms, unless such access and/or use is supervised by a parent or legal guardian (“Parent”) who: (a) has read and understands these Terms; (b) approves all rights granted, and all obligations undertaken, by the Minor hereunder; and (c) agrees to be bound by these Terms. If you are a Parent of a User who is a Minor, then, by allowing such Minor to access and/or use the Platform, you are subject to these Terms and responsible for such Minor’s activity on the Platform. With respect to the Parent of a User who is a Minor, “you,” as used in these Terms in the context of a license grant, assignment, restriction, obligation, acknowledgment, representation, warranty, or covenant, or in any similar context, means “the Parent, on behalf of the Parent and the Minor,” and “your” has the corresponding meaning. The Platform is not available to any Users we previously removed from the Platform.
1.2 User Accounts
(a) Your User Account. Your account on the Platform (your “User Account”) gives you access to certain services and functionalities that we may, in our sole discretion, establish and maintain as part of the Platform from time to time. You acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you do not own your User Account, nor do you possess any rights to data stored by or on behalf of LimeBricks on the servers running the Platform. We may maintain different types of User Accounts for different types of Users.
(b)Organizational Accounts. An individual may access and/or use the Platform on behalf of a company or other entity, such as that individual’s employer (such entity, an “Organization”). In such cases, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein: (a) these Terms are an agreement between (i) us and such individual and (ii) us and that Organization; (b) “you,” as used in these Terms in the context of a license grant, assignment, restriction, obligation, acknowledgment, representation, warranty, or covenant, or in any similar context, means (i) such individual and (ii) the Organization, on behalf of the Organization and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, and other representatives who access and/or use the Platform (collectively, “Org Users”); and “your” has the corresponding meanings; (c) such individual represents and warrants to having the authority to bind that Organization to these Terms (and, in the absence of such authority, such individual may not access, nor use, the Platform); (d) such individual’s acceptance of these Terms will bind that Organization to these Terms; (e) we may disclose information regarding such individual and such individual’s access to and use of the Platform to that Organization; (f) such individual’s right to access and use the Platform may be suspended or terminated (and the administration of the applicable User Account may be transferred) if such individual ceases to be associated with, or ceases to use an email address associated with or provisioned by, that Organization; (g) that Organization will make all Org Users aware of these Terms’ provisions, as applicable to such Org Users, and will cause each Org User to comply with such provisions; and (h) that Organization will be solely responsible and liable for all acts and omissions of the Org Users, and any act or omission by any Org User that would constitute a breach of these Terms had it been taken by that Organization will be deemed a breach of these Terms by that Organization. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an individual opens a User Account using an email address associated with or provisioned by an Organization, or if an Organization pays fees due in connection with such individual’s access to or use of the Platform (or reimburses such individual for payment of such fees), then we may, in our sole discretion, deem such individual to be accessing and using the Platform on behalf of that Organization.
(c) Connecting Via Third-Party Platforms. By connecting to the Platform via a third-party service, you give us permission to access and use your information from that service, as permitted by that service, and to store your log-in credentials and/or access tokens for that service.
(d) Account Security. You may never use another User’s User Account without such User’s permission. When creating your User Account, you must provide accurate and complete information, and you must keep this information up to date. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your User Account, you will keep your User Account password(s) and/or any other authentication credentials secure, and you will not share your password(s) and/or any other authentication credentials with anyone else. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols) to protect your User Account. Any Org User with administrator-level access to your User Account can modify your User Account settings, access, and billing information. We will not be liable for, and expressly disclaim liability for, any losses caused by any unauthorized use of your User Account and/or any changes to your User Account, including, without limitation, changes made by any Org User with administrator-level access to your User Account. You will notify us immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your User Account.
(e) Account Settings. You may control certain aspects of your User Account and any associated User profile, and of the way you interact with the Platform, by changing the settings in your settings page. By providing us with your email address, you consent to our using that email address to send you Platform-related notices, including any notices required by Applicable Law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. We may also use that email address to send you other messages, including, without limitation, marketing and advertising messages, such as messages notifying you of changes to features of the Platform and special offers (collectively, “Marketing Emails”). If you do not want to receive Marketing Emails, you may opt out of receiving them or change your preferences by contacting the Platform support team at hello@limebricks.com or by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link within a Marketing Email.

3.5 Service Requests.
(a) Users have the ability to create requests for domestic services, such as cleaning, plumbing, and handymen work, among others, according to their specific needs (such requesting Users, “Customers,” such requests, “Service Requests,” and such services, “Domestic Services”). When making a Service Request, Customers must provide accurate and complete details about the type of Domestic Services required, including without limitation the nature of the work, the desired date and time, and any special requirements or preferences. LimeBricks will assign various service providers that match the needs and specifications detailed in the Service Request (such service providers, “Providers”). This selection will be based on proximity to the job location, on-time arrival track record, job acceptance rate, availability, competencies, qualifications, and previous ratings of the Providers. For specific service requests, Users will have the opportunity to review Providers’ profiles, experience, and previous User ratings.
(b) In some cases, Customers will be able to confirm through the Platform that particular Domestic Services have been completed to their satisfaction. Once Customers have marked a service as complete, payment of Fees is due in accordance with Section 7. Customers are responsible for ensuring that Domestic Services have been completed as agreed before marking Service Requests as complete.
(c) In case of non-conformities or problems with Domestic Services, Customers shall communicate through the channels established by the Platform to resolve any dispute or inconvenience. LimeBricks also reserves the right to intervene or take action in cases of non-compliance with the terms and conditions by any and all Users.
3.6 Workspace Safety.
(a) To ensure the protection and well-being of all involved in providing Domestic Services, Customers must offer a safe and suitable working environment for Providers. This includes, without limitation, ensuring that the workspace where Domestic Services are provided (the “Workspace”) is free from potential risks and hazards that could compromise the physical safety of the Provider. In addition, Customers must take preventative measures, such as securing and keeping their pets leashed while the Provider is performing their work, to avoid incidents or disruptions that could jeopardize the safety or well-being of a Provider.
(b) Customers are responsible for the adequacy of their Workspace for the safe provision of Domestic Services, including without limitation implementation of applicable safety standards, removal of dangerous obstacles, securing of areas that may pose a risk, and provision of clear instructions on any particularities of the Workspace that a Provider must consider in order to perform Domestic Services safely.
(c) As between Providers and Customers, Customers shall be responsible and held liable for any consequences and damages arising out of any unsafe situation or conditions in a Customer’s Workspace. Customers acknowledge the importance of maintaining a safe Workspace and must be actively committed to implementing all necessary measures to protect the physical integrity and health of Providers.
(d) LimeBricks encourages both Customers and Providers to communicate openly and proactively about any safety-related concerns before commencing Domestic Services and during performance thereof. Prevention and attention to safe working conditions contribute to an optimal work environment and foster relationships of trust and mutual respect between Customers and Providers.

7. Payments, Billing, and Subscription Plans
7.1 Billing Policies; Taxes.
Certain aspects of the Platform may be provided for free, while certain other aspects of the Platform and/or products available on the Platform may be provided for fees or other charges (“Fees”). Fees (including each Subscription Fee (as defined below)) are the sum of the applicable LimeBricks Fees (as defined below) and any applicable Third-Party Fees (as defined below). By electing to use non-free aspects of the Platform, including enrolling in Subscription(s) (as defined below), you agree to the pricing and payment terms applicable to you and available at www.limebricks.com/plans and www.limebricks.com/services (as we may update them from time to time, the “Pricing and Payment Terms”). The Pricing and Payment Terms are hereby incorporated by reference herein. We may add new products and/or services for additional Fees, add or amend Fees for existing products and/or services, and/or discontinue offering any Subscriptions at any time, in our sole discretion; provided, however, that if we have agreed to a specific Subscription Term and a corresponding Subscription Fee, then that Subscription will remain in force for that Subscription Fee during that Subscription Term. Any change to the Pricing and Payment Terms will become effective in the billing cycle following our provision of notice of such change. Except as may be expressly stated in these Terms or in the Pricing and Payment Terms, all Fees must be paid in advance, payment obligations are non-cancelable once incurred (subject to any cancellation rights set forth in these Terms), and Fees paid are non-refundable. Fees are stated exclusive of any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use, and withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction (collectively, but, for clarity, excluding taxes based on our net income, “Taxes”).

(c) “Subscription” means a particular portion of the Platform that is available on an automatically renewing subscription basis, and your access thereto, as applicable.

Fees and Taxes will be charged to your Payment Method on the specific payment date indicated in your User Account. In some cases, your payment date may change, for example, if your Payment Method has not successfully settled, if you changed your Subscription plan, or if your Subscription began on a date not contained in a subsequent month. The length of your billing cycle will depend on the type of Subscription in which you are enrolled, if applicable. Fees are fully earned upon payment.

Fees for Domestic Services may be collected in various methods, such as directly by the Provider who provided the Domestic Services, over the phone with a follow-up call after Domestic Services have been completed, charged to a credit card on file after completion of Domestic Services. LimeBricks may update, change, or add to the payment methods at its sole discretion. If Domestic Services have been as part of a subscription plan, no separate payment of fees other than Subscription Fees (as set forth in Section 7.4) shall be due.
(c) Third-Party Payment Processor. We or Payment Processor will attempt to verify your Payment Method(s), and may do so by processing an authorization hold, which is standard practice. To the extent Payment Processor processes payments made by you, you will be subject to terms and conditions governing the use of Payment Processor’s service. Please review such terms and conditions as well as Payment Processor’s privacy notice (each of which is available on Payment Processor’s website). You acknowledge and understand that Payment Processor may collect and retain Third-Party Fees whenever you pay Fees (including Subscription Fees). Payment must be received by Payment Processor before our acceptance of an order. We do not view or store your full credit card or other Payment Method information. For all payments, Payment Processor will collect your Payment Method details and charge your chosen Payment Method in connection with an order. If any of your account, order, or Payment Method information changes, you will promptly update such information, so that we or Payment Processor may complete your transaction(s) and/or contact you, as needed.

You represent and warrant that: (i) the account, order, and Payment Method information you supply to us and/or to Payment Processor, as applicable, is true, accurate, correct, and complete; (ii) you are duly authorized to use the Payment Method(s); (iii) you will pay any and all charges incurred by users of your Payment Method in connection with the Platform, including any applicable Fees (at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred) and Taxes; (iv) charges incurred by you will be honored by your Payment Method company; (v) you will not allow or enable anyone else to use your Subscription (including, without limitation, by sharing your password(s) or any other authentication credentials with anyone else, or by attempting to transfer your Subscription to anyone else); and (vi) you will report to us any unauthorized or prohibited access to or use of your Subscription and/or password(s) or other authentication credentials.
(e) Disclaimer. WE DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO, AND YOU UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR: (I) ANY SECURITY OR PRIVACY BREACHES RELATED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD OR OTHER PAYMENT METHOD, (II) ANY FEES THAT MAY BE CHARGED TO YOU BY YOUR BANK IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLECTION OF FEES, AND/OR (III) ANY UNAUTHORIZED USE OF YOUR CREDIT CARD, DEBIT CARD, OR OTHER PAYMENT METHOD BY A THIRD PARTY.

If you are signed up to such a free trial, we or Payment Processor will automatically bill your Payment Method on the day that follows the last day of your free trial (which day will be the first day of your first Subscription Term), and on the first day of each subsequent Subscription Term, subject to these Terms. You may not receive a notice that your free trial has ended and that payment for your Subscription is due and will be collected. If you wish to avoid charges to your Payment Method, you must cancel your free trial by 11:59 PM Pacific Time on the last day of your free trial period.

(“Apple”), and that Apple has no responsibility for the iOS App or content thereof. Your access to and use of the iOS App must comply with the usage rules set forth in Apple’s then-current Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and with the applicable Volume Content Terms. You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the iOS App. In the event of any failure of the iOS App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the iOS App to you; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the iOS App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be governed solely by these Terms and any law applicable to LimeBricks as provider of the iOS App. You and LimeBricks acknowledge that Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims of you or any third party relating to the iOS App or your possession and/or use of the iOS App, including, but not limited to: (a) product liability claims; (b) any claim that the iOS App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (c) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation. You acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the iOS App, or your possession and use of that iOS App, infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, LimeBricks, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim, to the extent required by these Terms. You and LimeBricks acknowledge and agree that Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as relates to your license of the iOS App, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms as relates to your license of the iOS App against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

12. Release
You hereby release us from all claims, damages (whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or otherwise), obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, debts, and expenses, in each case of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of a dispute between you and a third party (including any other User) in connection with the Platform. In addition, you waive any Applicable Law that says, in substance: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE RELEASED PARTY.”
13. Indemnity
You will defend, indemnify, and hold us and our subsidiaries and affiliates, and our and their respective agents, suppliers, licensors, employees, contractors, officers, and directors (collectively, including LimeBricks, the “LimeBricks Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all claims, damages (whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or otherwise), obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, debts, and expenses (including, but not limited to, legal fees) arising from: (a) your access to and/or use of the Platform, including your use of Output; (b) your violation of any term of these Terms, including, without limitation, your breach of any of your representations and warranties set forth in these Terms; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including, without limitation, any privacy right or Intellectual Property Right; (d) your violation of any Applicable Law; (e) User Content or any content that is submitted via your User Account, including, without limitation, any misleading, false, or inaccurate information; (f) your willful misconduct; or (g) any third party’s access to and/or use of the Platform with your username(s), password(s), or other authentication credential(s).

15.2 In each case, except as expressly set forth in Section 15.1:
(a) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PLATFORM, THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE PLATFORM ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND/OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM US OR THROUGH THE PLATFORM WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, NONE OF THE LIMEBRICKS INDEMNITEES WARRANTS THAT ANY CONTENT OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN, OR AVAILABLE VIA, THE PLATFORM IS ACCURATE, COMPREHENSIVE, RELIABLE, USEFUL, OR CORRECT; THAT THE PLATFORM WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS; THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME OR LOCATION, UNINTERRUPTED, OR SECURE; THAT ANY DEFECTS OR ERRORS IN THE PLATFORM WILL BE CORRECTED; OR THAT THE PLATFORM IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. ANY CONTENT DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE PLATFORM IS SO OBTAINED AT YOUR OWN RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM(S) OR MOBILE DEVICE(S) AND/OR FOR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM SAME OR FROM YOUR ACCESS TO AND/OR USE OF THE PLATFORM. YOU MAY HAVE OTHER STATUTORY RIGHTS, BUT THE DURATION OF STATUTORILY REQUIRED WARRANTIES, IF ANY, WILL BE LIMITED TO THE SHORTEST PERIOD PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
(b) FURTHER, LIMEBRICKS DOES NOT WARRANT, ENDORSE, GUARANTEE, RECOMMEND, OR ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE ADVERTISED OR OFFERED BY ANY THIRD PARTY THROUGH THE PLATFORM OR ANY HYPERLINKED WEBSITE OR SERVICE, AND LIMEBRICKS WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO, OR IN ANY WAY MONITOR, ANY TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.
(c) UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW AND SOME STATES, PROVINCES, AND OTHER JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF AND/OR LIMITATIONS ON CERTAIN IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS AND/OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THESE TERMS GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS, WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. THE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, AND LIMITATIONS UNDER THESE TERMS WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
16. Limitation of Liability
LIMEBRICKS ACTS AS AN INTERMEDIARY BETWEEN PROVIDERS AND CUSTOMERS, PROVIDING A PLATFORM TO FACILITATE THE CONTRACTING AND PROVISION OF DOMESTIC SERVICES. ALTHOUGH LIMEBRICKS MAKE REASONABLE EFFORTS TO ENSURE THE QUALITY AND LEGALITY OF THE DOMESTIC SERVICES OFFERED ON THE PLATFORM AND THE ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION USERS PROVIDE, LIMEBRICKS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OR INACTIONS OF USERS.
LIMEBRICKS DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE QUALITY, SAFETY, OR LEGALITY OF DOMESTIC SERVICES PROVIDED, THE TRUTHFULNESS OR ACCURACY OF ADVERTISEMENTS, THE ABILITY OF PROVIDERS TO PERFORM A SERVICE, OR THE ABILITY OF USERS TO PAY FOR DOMESTIC SERVICES. ALL LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE SELECTION OF A PROVIDER BY OR ON BEHALF OF A CUSTOMER AND THE PROVISION OF DOMESTIC SERVICES BY SUCH PROVIDER RESTS WITH THE CUSTOMERS WHO ENGAGE SUCH PROVIDER.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will any LimeBricks indemnitee be liable for any indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, or data, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to the use of, or inability to use, the PLATFORM or any portion thereof. Under no circumstances will we be responsible for any damage, loss, or injury resulting from hacking, tampering, or other unauthorized access to or use of the PLATFORM or your user account or the information contained therein.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we assume no liability or responsibility for any (a) errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies of content; (b) personal injury or property damage, of any nature whatsoever, resulting from your access to or use of the PLATFORM; (c) any unauthorized access to or use of the servers running the PLATFORM and/or any and all personal information stored therein; (d) any interruption or cessation of transmission to or from the PLATFORM; (e) any bugs, viruses, trojan horses, or the like that may be transmitted to or through the PLATFORM by any third party; (f) any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or damage incurred as a result of the use of any content posted, emailed, transmitted, or otherwise made available through the PLATFORM; and/or (g) your data, any user content, or the defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct of any third party.
In no event will any LimeBricks indemnitee be liable to you for any claims, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, or costs in an amount exceeding the amount you paid to us hereunder or one hundred U.S. Dollars ($100.00), whichever is greater. This limitation of liability section applies whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damage.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of and/or limitations on incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusions and/or limitations may not apply to you. These terms give you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations of liability under these terms will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
17. Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver
17.1 Governing Law.
You agree that: (a) the Platform will be deemed solely based in the State of Delaware; and (b) the Platform will be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than Delaware. These Terms will be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law governing these Terms, the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) (as it may be amended, “FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of the Arbitration Agreement below and preempts all state laws (and laws of other jurisdictions) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law. If the FAA is found to not apply to any issue that arises from or relates to the Arbitration Agreement, then that issue will be resolved under and governed by the law of the U.S. state where you live (if applicable) or the jurisdiction mutually agreed upon in writing by you and us. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Delaware for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, Confidential Information, or Intellectual Property Rights, as set forth in the Arbitration Agreement below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that Delaware is the proper and exclusive forum for any appeals of an arbitration award, or for trial court proceedings in the event that the Arbitration Agreement below is found to be unenforceable. These Terms were drafted in the English language and this English language version of the Terms is the original, governing instrument of the understanding between you and us. In the event of any conflict between the English version of these Terms and any translation, the English version will prevail.
17.2 Arbitration Agreement
(a) General. READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US. This Arbitration Agreement applies to and governs any dispute, controversy, or claim between you and us that arises out of or relates to, directly or indirectly: (i) these Terms, including the formation, existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, validity, and enforceability thereof; (ii) access to or use of the Platform, including receipt of any advertising or marketing communications; (iii) any transactions through, by, or using the Platform; or (iv) any other aspect of your relationship or transactions with us, directly or indirectly, as a User or consumer (each, a “Claim,” and, collectively, “Claims”). This Arbitration Agreement will apply, without limitation, to all Claims that arose or were asserted before or after your consent to these Terms.
(b) Opting Out of Arbitration Agreement. If you are a new User, you can reject and opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within thirty (30) days of accepting these Terms by emailing us at hello@limebricks.com with your full, legal name and stating your intent to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement does not affect the binding nature of any other part of these Terms, including the provisions regarding controlling law or the courts in which any disputes must be brought.
(c) Dispute-Resolution Process. For any Claim, you will first contact us at hello@limebricks.com and attempt to resolve the Claim with us informally. In the unlikely event that we have not been able to resolve a Claim after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve such Claim exclusively through binding arbitration by JAMS before a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”), under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS (the “Rules”), except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com, where the Rules are available. In the event of any conflict between the Rules and this Arbitration Agreement, this Arbitration Agreement will control. The arbitration will be conducted in the U.S. county where you live (if applicable) or Sussex County, Delaware, unless you and LimeBricks agree otherwise. If you are using the Platform for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing and administrative fees and Arbitrator fees in accordance with the Rules, and the award rendered by the Arbitrator will include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Platform for non-commercial purposes: (i) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; (ii) the award rendered by the Arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorneys’ fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this would not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and we agree that the Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the scope, interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator will also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether these Terms are, or whether any provision of these Terms is, unconscionable or illusory, and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, unconscionability, and/or estoppel.
(d) Equitable Relief. NOTHING IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WILL BE DEEMED AS: PREVENTING US FROM SEEKING INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF FROM THE COURTS AS NECESSARY TO PREVENT THE ACTUAL OR THREATENED INFRINGEMENT, MISAPPROPRIATION, OR VIOLATION OF OUR DATA SECURITY, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS; OR PREVENTING YOU FROM ASSERTING CLAIMS IN A SMALL CLAIMS COURT, PROVIDED THAT YOUR CLAIMS QUALIFY AND SO LONG AS THE MATTER REMAINS IN SUCH COURT AND ADVANCES ON ONLY AN INDIVIDUAL (NON-CLASS, NON-COLLECTIVE, AND NON-REPRESENTATIVE) BASIS.
(e) Severability. If this Arbitration Agreement is found to be void, unenforceable, or unlawful, in whole or in part, the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, will be severed. Severance of the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, will have no impact on the remaining provisions of this Arbitration Agreement, which will remain in force, or on the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining Claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver below is found to be void, unenforceable, or unlawful, in whole or in part, because it would prevent you from seeking public injunctive relief, then any dispute regarding the entitlement to such relief (and only that relief) must be severed from arbitration and may be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction. All other claims for relief subject to arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement will be arbitrated under its terms, and the parties agree that litigation of any dispute regarding the entitlement to public injunctive relief will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.
17.3 Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver.
BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND LIMEBRICKS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO BRING, JOIN, OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER. THE FOREGOING APPLIES TO ALL USERS (BOTH NATUAL PERSONS AND ENTITIES), REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE PLATFORM FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL, OR OTHER PURPOSES. THIS CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR ENTITY’S CLAIMS. YOU AND LIMEBRICKS AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY TO AN INDIVIDUAL CLAIMANT AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF ON YOUR INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED MAY NOT AFFECT OTHER USERS.
