All fees are payable in accordance with payment terms in effect at the time when the fee becomes payable. Please note that we do not provide price protection or refunds in the event of a price drop or promotional offering.

By enrolling in Member Services, you must accept the terms of use or other user agreements for each affiliate whose services or products are included in those Member Services. This may include Little Passport’s User Agreement, HOMER’s Terms of Use, and codeSpark’s Terms of Service.

1.8.1 Authorization to Charge for Use of Services

You must provide accurate and complete information for a valid payment method that you are authorized to use (such as a credit card or other payment method accepted by us to activate and maintain an account). You authorize BEGiN to charge you through the payment method that you use when you register for access to Member Services. You are also responsible for charges for any Products or Services ordered through your account that are offered for sale through our Services. If we do not receive payment via your payment method, you agree to pay all amounts due hereunder upon our demand and will be solely responsible for any dispute with your payment provider. If the payment method you provide is initially declined for any reason, we reserve the right to charge the payment method (credit card or other accepted mechanism) in installments, at the non-promotional/non-discounted rate that is in place at the time, for the full duration of the subscription that you have selected. You bear sole responsibility for all overdraft fees or other penalties that may be assessed by your payment provider. You are responsible for any use of your credit card or other payment instrument (e.g., PayPal).

1.8.2 Subscription Renewal 

If you purchase a recurring subscription, you are subscribing to an automatically renewing subscription requiring recurring payments at the stated frequency (e.g., monthly, semiannually, or annually) until cancelled. You will be charged your first Subscription Fee and any applicable taxes on the date you purchase your subscription or after your free trial ends. Your subscription will automatically continue at the selected interval, and you will continue to be charged at the then-current price (including any applicable taxes), unless at least 24 hours prior to the end of the current subscription period: (a) you terminate your account; (b) you cancel your subscription (as described below); (c) we decline to renew your subscription; or (d) these Terms are otherwise properly terminated as expressly permitted herein. The Subscription Fee is non-refundable except as expressly set forth in these Terms of Use or in accordance with applicable law. If any Subscription Fee is not paid in a timely manner, or your transaction cannot be processed, we reserve the right to suspend, disable, cancel or terminate your access to the Member Services or cancel your Subscription. You will be responsible for paying all past due amounts.

After the first month Subscription Fee is charged, your subscription period will renew on the date will be displayed in your [Account] page next to your active Subscription (the “Renewal Date,” which may be more than 30-days after the date of initial subscription). We reserve the right to change your Renewal Date after providing you with prior advance notice and any such changes will be displayed in your [Account] page next to your active Subscription.

1.8.3 Subscription Cancellations

When you cancel a subscription, you cancel only future charges associated with your subscription. You may initiate your cancellation at any time, but the cancellation will become effective at the end of your current subscription period. In order to avoid future charges, you must cancel your subscription at least 24 hours prior to the end of your current subscription period. You may cancel your subscription by emailing customer service at support@beginlearning.com.

1.8.4 No Refunds

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE STATED HEREIN OR REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION FEE IS NONREFUNDABLE and if you cancel your subscription, you will not receive any refund and you will continue to have access to the Services through the end of the subscription period. We reserve the right to issue refunds, credits, or discounts at our sole discretion. If we issue a refund, credit, or discount, we are under no obligation to issue the same or similar refund in the future and we may terminate your subscription and access to the Services.

We may, at our discretion, offer new customers a limited 30-day money back guarantee.  If you purchased subject to this offer, the guarantee is applicable to all eligible Services purchased directly from us within the specified time frame.  The guarantee is valid for 30 calendar days from the date of purchase.  If, within the eligible period, you decide that the Services do not meet your expectations or requirements, you can request a refund. Please note that certain terms and conditions may apply. Refunds will be issued using the same payment method used for the original purchase. It may take some time for the refund to be processed and for the funds to be reflected in your account, depending on your financial institution. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the refund process or if you wish to initiate a refund, please contact our customer support team at support@beginlearning.com. They will guide you through the necessary steps and assist you with any queries.

1.8.5 Free Trials and Promotional Rates

We may offer promotional trial subscriptions to obtain a Membership on a trial basis or access Services for free or at promotional rate, as well as referral discounts or similar free access to Member benefits when you refer a new user(s). 

If your subscription includes a free trial, you will not be charged the applicable fee during your free trial. To obtain the free trial, you may be required to provide a credit card or other payment method in order to ensure uninterrupted access and continued use after the expiration of the free trial. Upon completion of your free trial, your subscription will automatically convert into a paid subscription and your payment method will be charged the applicable fee unless you have cancelled your subscription. You may cancel your subscription during your free trial to avoid being charged as described above.

If your subscription includes a promotional rate, you will be charged the promotional rate for the relevant number of billing periods and upon completion of that period, your subscription will continue to automatically renew at the then-applicable full rate.

You may only be permitted to use one free trial or discounted price offer. If your subscription is ever cancelled or terminated for any reason, and you purchase an additional subscription, you may not be eligible for a free trial or to take advantage of another discounted price offer.

1.8.6 Termination

We may terminate your subscription at our sole discretion and without any notice. If we cancel your subscription, we may give you a prorated refund based on the amount of time remaining that you cannot use; provided, however, that we will not be obligated to grant you a refund if we terminate your account or your subscription because we determine, in our sole discretion, that your actions or your use of the Services violate these Terms of Use, any applicable law, or has harmed another user. 

1.8.7 Changes to the Subscription

We may change the subscription terms or Subscription Fees at any time on a going forward basis in our discretion. If the pricing for your subscription increases, we will notify you, and provide you an opportunity to change your subscription before applying those changes to your account or charging you in connection with an automatic renewal. We may choose in our sole discretion to add, modify, or remove benefits and features from a subscription. Your continued use of the Service after the changes become effective will constitute your acceptance of the changes. If you do not wish to continue subscribing with the new fees or features, you may cancel your subscription. If you accept the new subscription, its terms and conditions will apply for that renewal and all renewals going forward.

3. UPDATES TO THE SERVICE

BEGiN may require that you accept updates to the Services. You acknowledge and agree that BEGiN may update the Services with or without notifying you.

4. DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

4.1. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

THE SERVICES AND ALL MATERIALS CONTAINED ON IT ARE DISTRIBUTED AND TRANSMITTED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. BEGiN is not responsible or liable for functions or features that are interrupted, unsecure, or contain errors. We do not warrant that defects will be corrected. We are not responsible or liable for any infections or contamination of your system, or delays, inaccuracies, errors, or omissions arising out of your use of these Services or with respect to the information and material contained on these Services. The entire risk as to the quality, accuracy, adequacy, completeness, correctness and validity of any material rests with you. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW, BEGiN, ITS AFFILIATES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, REPRESENTATIVES, AND THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS TO THE SITE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, COMPENSATORY, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR SIMILAR DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF USE, OR COSTS OF OBTAINING SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES), THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE USE OF OR IN CONNECT WITH, OR THE INABILITY TO USE, THE MATERIALS, INFORMATION, OR ANY LINK PROVIDED ON THE SERVICES. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall BEGiN’s liability to you for any and all claims, damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) exceed the amount paid by you, if any, for accessing the Services.

If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party. " This release includes the criminal acts of others. If you are not a California resident, you waive your rights under any statute or common law principle similar to Section 1542 that governs your rights in the jurisdiction of your residence.

4.2. EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages such as above in Section 5.1. Accordingly, some of the above limitations may not apply to you. If you are a New Jersey resident, or a resident of another state that permits the exclusion of these warranties and liabilities, then the limitations in Section 5.1 specifically do apply to you.

4.3. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, BEGiN, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, representatives, and third party providers to the Services from and against all losses, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from any violation of these Terms of Use by you. BEGiN reserves the right to assume, at its sole expense, the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with BEGiN in asserting any available defenses. 

You agree that the provisions in this paragraph will survive any termination of your account(s) or of the Services.

5. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

5.1. General

You and BEGiN agree that we will resolve any claim or controversy at law or equity that arises out of this Agreement or the Service (“Claim”) in accordance with Subsection 6.2 or as BEGiN and you otherwise agree in writing. Before resorting to these alternatives, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly.

5.2. CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

5.2.1 Application. You and BEGiN agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions. This Section 6.2 is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before these Terms or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to product availability, purchases, and advertising); and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small court claims, as provided below.

5.2.2. Initial Dispute Resolution. Most disputes can be resolved without resort to arbitration. In the event of a possible claim, a party must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice") describing (a) the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The Notice to BEGiN should be addressed to: Dispute Resolution Agent, BEGiN Inc, 121 Varick St., Floor 3, New York, NY 10013 USA ("Notice Address"). Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with BEGiN, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. Failure to engage in this process could result in the award of fees against you in arbitration. 

5.2.3 Binding Arbitration. If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, (except as provided in section __ below) subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including the Terms’ formation, performance, and breach), the parties' relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Services or any services provided by BEGiN  shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class or representative actions. If your Claim is for $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by telephone, or by an in-person hearing as established by the rules of the arbitration administrator.  The amount of any settlement offer made by BEGiN or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or BEGiN is entitled. Any failure or other delay by either party in enforcing this Section at any time, or in connection with any particular claims, will not constitute a waiver of any rights to require arbitration at a later time or in connection with any other claims. Decisions rendered in arbitration proceedings will be final and binding on the parties. There shall be no appeal from arbitration decisions other than for arbitrator bias, fraud or misconduct and any award granted in arbitration will be enforceable by any court having jurisdiction as provided by the FAA and/or other applicable law.

5.2.4 Arbitrator’s Powers. Except as explicitly set forth in this Section 6.2, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, and any dispute regarding the payment of JAMS administrative or arbitrator fees (including the timing of such payments and remedies for nonpayment). The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The parties agree that the arbitrator may allow the filing of dispositive motions if they are likely to efficiently resolve or narrow issues in dispute. The arbitrator's award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration.

The rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.jamsadr.org or by calling JAMS at (800) 352-5267. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, you will be required to pay $250 to initiate the arbitration. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, the arbitrator may require BEGiN to pay the additional cost. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, BEGiN will pay all of the actual filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration, provided your claim does not exceed $75,000. For claims above $75,000, fees and costs will be determined in accordance with applicable JAMS rules. The arbitration rules permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain cases.  If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the rules of the arbitration administrator. In such case, you agree to reimburse us for all monies previously disbursed by us that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the rules of the arbitration administrator. 

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. The arbitrator and/or JAMS may require amendment of any demand or counterclaim that does not satisfy these requirements. The arbitrator has the right to impose sanctions in accordance with JAMS Rule 24 for any claims the arbitrator determines to be frivolous or improper (under the standard set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11).

The parties agree that JAMS has discretion to modify the amount or timing of any administrative or arbitration fees due under JAMS’s Rules where it deems appropriate, provided that such modification does not increase the costs to you, and you waive any objection to such fee modification. The parties also agree that a good-faith challenge by either party to the fees imposed by JAMS does not constitute a default, waiver, or breach of this Section 14 while such challenge remains pending before JAMS, the arbitrator, and/or a court of competent jurisdiction.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory 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.

5.2.5 Location. If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration will take place at any reasonable location within the United States convenient for you, unless you and we both agree to another location or telephonic arbitration. You and BEGiN agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in New York, New York in order to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

5.2.6  Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in the party’s respective 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 BEGIN 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. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular remedy, then that remedy (and only that remedy) must be severed from the arbitration and may be sought in court. The parties agree, however, that any adjudication of remedies not subject to arbitration shall be stayed pending the outcome of any arbitrable claims and remedies.

5.2.7  Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court with jurisdiction or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights ("intellectual property rights" means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction. Either party may also seek a declaratory judgment or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction regarding whether a party’s claims are time-barred or may be brought in small claims court in your state and county of residence. Seeking such relief shall not waive a party’s right to arbitration under this agreement.

5.2.8  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 written notice of your decision to opt out to [INSERT] with the subject line, "ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT." The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of (a) [Date you post these updated terms]; or (b) your first date that you used the Services that contained any versions of the Terms that included this version of the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver, whichever is later. Otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, BEGiN also will not be bound by them.

5.2.9  Changes to This Section. BEGiN will provide thirty (30) days' notice of any changes affecting the substance to this section by posting on the Services. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the Services or sent to you by email. If you continue to use the site after the 30th day, you agree that any unfiled claims of which BEGiN does not have actual notice are subject to the revised clause.   You may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Section.

5.2.10 Survival. This Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall survive (i) any termination of your use of the Services or changes in, these Terms of Use other than changes to this section and any relationship between you and us; (ii) the bankruptcy of any party or any other similar proceeding; and (iii) payment in full of any debt by you or by a third party. Should any portion of this Section be deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall nevertheless remain in force. 

Any failure or other delay by either party in enforcing this Section at any time, or in connection with any particular Claims, will not constitute a waiver of any rights to require arbitration at a later time or in connection with any other Claims. Decisions rendered in arbitration proceedings will be final and binding on the parties. There shall be no appeal from arbitration decisions other than for arbitrator bias, fraud or misconduct and any award granted in arbitration will be enforceable by any court having jurisdiction as provided by the FAA and/or other applicable law.

6. SEVERABILITY

You and BEGiN agree that if any portion of these Terms of Use is found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective solely to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of the Agreement, which shall continue to be in full force and effect.

7. GENERAL PROVISIONS

7.1 Force Majeure.

Under no circumstances shall BEGiN or its subprocessors be held liable for any delay or failure in performance resulting directly or indirectly from an event beyond its reasonable control.

7.2. Assignment

You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under the Terms of Use or Privacy Policy without BEGiN’s prior written consent, and any unauthorized assignment and delegation by you is void and ineffective.

7.3. Entire Agreement

These Terms of Use contain the entire understanding of you and BEGiN and supersede all prior understandings of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, whether electronic, oral or written, or whether established by custom, practice, policy or precedent, between you and us with respect to the Service. These Terms of Use may be supplemented by additional terms of use or other user agreements for other services (including Member Services).

7.4. Notices

We may notify you via postings or via e-mail. All notices given by you or required from you under these Terms of Use shall be in writing and addressed to BEGiN using the information in the “Contact Us” section below.

Any notices that you provide without compliance with this Section on Notices shall have no legal effect.

You consent to receive notifications from BEGiN electronically and agree that all notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing or be delivered in a particular manner. You agree that you have the ability to store such electronic communications such that they remain accessible to it in an unchanged form. You agree to keep your contact information current.

7.5 Statute of Limitations

Except for residents of New Jersey, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the use of the Services and/or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

7.6 No Waiver. 

No waiver of any provision of these Terms will be binding unless in writing, no waiver of any provisions of these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and the failure of BEGiN to exercise or enforce any right or remedy in these Terms does not waive that right or remedy. If an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms to be invalid, the parties agree that the court should endeavor to give effect, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

We reserve the right to issue refunds, credits, or discounts at our sole discretion. If we issue a refund, credit, or discount, we are under no obligation to issue the same or similar refund in the future

1.9.6 Free Trials and Promotional Rates

We may offer promotional trial subscriptions to obtain a Membership on a trial basis or access Services for free or at promotional rate, as well as referral discounts or similar free access to Member benefits when you refer a new user(s).

If your subscription includes a free trial, you will not be charged the applicable fee during your free trial. To obtain the free trial, you will be required to provide a credit card or other payment method in order to ensure uninterrupted access and continued use after the expiration of the free trial. Upon completion of your free trial, your subscription will automatically convert into a paid subscription and your payment method will be charged the applicable fee unless you have cancelled your subscription. You may cancel your subscription during your free trial to avoid being charged as described above.

If your subscription includes a promotional rate, you will be charged the promotional rate for the relevant number of billing periods and upon completion of that period, your subscription will continue to automatically renew at the full rate.

You may only be permitted to use one free trial or discounted price offer. If your subscription is ever cancelled or terminated for any reason, and you purchase an additional subscription, you may not be eligible for a free trial or to take advantage of another discounted price offer.

1.9.7 Termination

We may terminate your subscription at our sole discretion and without any notice. If we cancel your subscription, we may give you a prorated refund based on the amount of time remaining that you cannot use; provided, however, that we will not be obligated to grant you a refund if we terminate your account or your subscription because we determine, in our sole discretion, that your actions or your use of the Services violate these Terms of Use, any applicable law, or has harmed another user.

1.9.8 Changes to the Subscription

We may change the subscription terms or Subscription Fees at any time on a going forward basis in our discretion. If the pricing for your subscription increases, we will notify you, and provide you an opportunity to change your subscription before applying those changes to your account or charging you in connection with an automatic renewal. We may choose in our sole discretion to add, modify, or remove benefits and features from a subscription. Your continued use of the Service after the changes become effective will constitute your acceptance of the changes. If you do not wish to continue subscribing with the new fees or features, you may cancel your subscription. If you accept the new subscription, its terms and conditions will apply for that renewal and all renewals going forward

1.9.9 Lifetime Membership

A Lifetime Membership allows you to access HOMER Learn & Grow for up to 4 child profiles until cancelled and for as long as the service is available and supported by us. The lifetime membership applies only to HOMER Learn & Grow and does not extend to any future services that may be developed or other components of the Services. We reserve the right to revise the terms or make changes to HOMER Learn & Grow and the lifetime membership. If your membership or account is cancelled or terminated for any reason, you will lose your lifetime membership, although you may be able to re-subscribe at the then-current rate for a specified period of time.

Conscious Content Media is not responsible or liable for functions or features that are interrupted, unsecure, or contain errors. We do not warrant that defects will be corrected. We are not responsible or liable for any infections or contamination of your system, or delays, inaccuracies, errors, or omissions arising out of your use of these Sites or with respect to the information and material contained on these Sites. The entire risk as to the quality, accuracy, adequacy, completeness, correctness and validity of any material rests with you.

You agree that the provisions in this paragraph will survive any termination of your account(s) or of the Service.

6. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

6.1. General

You and Conscious Content Media agree that we will resolve any claim or controversy at law or equity that arises out of this Agreement or the Service ("Claim") in accordance with Subsection 6.2 or as Conscious Content Media and you otherwise agree in writing. Before resorting to these alternatives, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly.

6.2. CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

6.2.1 Application. You and Conscious Content Media agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions. This Section 6.2 is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before these Terms or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to product availability, purchases, and advertising); and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small court claims, as provided below.

6.2.2. Initial Dispute Resolution. Most disputes can be resolved without resort to arbitration. In the event of a possible claim, a party must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice") describing (a) the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) the specific relief sought ("Demand"). The Notice to Conscious Content Media should be addressed to: Dispute Resolution Agent, Conscious Content Media Inc, 121 Varick St., Floor 3, New York, NY 10013 USA ("Notice Address"). Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with Conscious Content Media , and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. Failure to engage in this process could result in the award of fees against you in arbitration.

6.2.3 Binding Arbitration. If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, (except as provided in section __ below) subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including the Terms' formation, performance, and breach), the parties' relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Services or any services provided by Conscious Content Media  shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class or representative actions. If your Claim is for $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by telephone, or by an in-person hearing as established by the rules of the arbitration administrator.  The amount of any settlement offer made by Conscious Content Media or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Conscious Content Media is entitled. Any failure or other delay by either party in enforcing this Section at any time, or in connection with any particular claims, will not constitute a waiver of any rights to require arbitration at a later time or in connection with any other claims. Decisions rendered in arbitration proceedings will be final and binding on the parties. There shall be no appeal from arbitration decisions other than for arbitrator bias, fraud or misconduct and any award granted in arbitration will be enforceable by any court having jurisdiction as provided by the FAA and/or other applicable law.

 

6.2.4 Arbitrator's Powers. Except as explicitly set forth in this Section 6.2, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, and any dispute regarding the payment of JAMS administrative or arbitrator fees (including the timing of such payments and remedies for nonpayment). The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The parties agree that the arbitrator may allow the filing of dispositive motions if they are likely to efficiently resolve or narrow issues in dispute. The arbitrator's award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration.

The rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.jamsadr.org or by calling JAMS at (800) 352-5267. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, you will be required to pay $250 to initiate the arbitration. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, the arbitrator may require Conscious Content Media to pay the additional cost. You are responsible for your own attorneys' fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, Conscious Content Media will pay all of the actual filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration, provided your claim does not exceed $75,000. For claims above $75,000, fees and costs will be determined in accordance with applicable JAMS rules. The arbitration rules permit you to recover attorney's fees in certain cases.  If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the rules of the arbitration administrator. In such case, you agree to reimburse us for all monies previously disbursed by us that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the rules of the arbitration administrator.

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. The arbitrator and/or JAMS may require amendment of any demand or counterclaim that does not satisfy these requirements. The arbitrator has the right to impose sanctions in accordance with JAMS Rule 24 for any claims the arbitrator determines to be frivolous or improper (under the standard set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11).

The parties agree that JAMS has discretion to modify the amount or timing of any administrative or arbitration fees due under JAMS's Rules where it deems appropriate, provided that such modification does not increase the costs to you, and you waive any objection to such fee modification. The parties also agree that a good-faith challenge by either party to the fees imposed by JAMS does not constitute a default, waiver, or breach of this Section 14 while such challenge remains pending before JAMS, the arbitrator, and/or a court of competent jurisdiction.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory 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.

6.2.5    Location. If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration will take place at any reasonable location within the United States convenient for you, unless you and we both agree to another location or telephonic arbitration. You and Conscious Content Media agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in New York, New York in order to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

6.2.6  Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in the party's respective 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 CONSCIOUS CONTENT MEDIA  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. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of this paragraph's limitations as to a particular remedy, then that remedy (and only that remedy) must be severed from the arbitration and may be sought in court. The parties agree, however, that any adjudication of remedies not subject to arbitration shall be stayed pending the outcome of any arbitrable claims and remedies.

6.2.7  Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court with jurisdiction or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights ("intellectual property rights" means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction. Either party may also seek a declaratory judgment or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction regarding whether a party's claims are time-barred or may be brought in small claims court in your state and county of residence. Seeking such relief shall not waive a party's right to arbitration under this agreement.

6.2.8  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 written notice of your decision to opt out to [INSERT] with the subject line, "ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT." The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of (a) [Date you post these updated terms]; or (b) your first date that you used the Services that contained any versions of the Terms that included this version of the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver, whichever is later. Otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Conscious Content Media also will not be bound by them.

6.2.9  Changes to This Section. Conscious Content Media will provide thirty (30) days' notice of any changes affecting the substance to this section by posting on the Services. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the Services or sent to you by email. If you continue to use the site after the 30th day, you agree that any unfiled claims of which Conscious Content Media does not have actual notice are subject to the revised clause.   You may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Section.

6.2.10 Survival. This Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall survive (i) any termination of your use of the Services or changes in, these Terms of Use other than changes to this section and any relationship between you and us; (ii) the bankruptcy of any party or any other similar proceeding; and (iii) payment in full of any debt by you or by a third party. Should any portion of this Section be deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall nevertheless remain in force.

Any failure or other delay by either party in enforcing this Section at any time, or in connection with any particular Claims, will not constitute a waiver of any rights to require arbitration at a later time or in connection with any other Claims. Decisions rendered in arbitration proceedings will be final and binding on the parties. There shall be no appeal from arbitration decisions other than for arbitrator bias, fraud or misconduct and any award granted in arbitration will be enforceable by any court having jurisdiction as provided by the FAA and/or other applicable law.

 

7. SEVERABILITY

You and Conscious Content Media agree that if any portion of these Terms of Use is found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective solely to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of the Agreement, which shall continue to be in full force and effect.

8. GENERAL PROVISIONS

8.1 Force Majeure.

Under no circumstances shall Conscious Content Media or its subprocessors be held liable for any delay or failure in performance resulting directly or indirectly from an event beyond its reasonable control.

8.2. Assignment

You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under the Terms of Use or Privacy Policy without Conscious Content Media's prior written consent, and any unauthorized assignment and delegation by you is void and ineffective.

8.3. Entire Agreement

These Terms of Use contain the entire understanding of you and Conscious Content Media and supersede all prior understandings of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, whether electronic, oral or written, or whether established by custom, practice, policy or precedent, between you and us with respect to the Service.

8.4. Notices

We may notify you via postings or via e-mail. All notices given by you or required from you under these Terms of Use shall be in writing and addressed to: support@learnwithhomer.com.

Any notices that you provide without compliance with this Section on Notices shall have no legal effect.

You consent to receive notifications from Conscious Content Media electronically and agree that all notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing or be delivered in a particular manner. You agree that you have the ability to store such electronic communications such that they remain accessible to it in an unchanged form. You agree to keep your contact information current.

8.5 Statute of Limitations.

Except for residents of New Jersey, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the use of the Services and/or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

8.6 No Waiver.

No waiver of any provision of these Terms will be binding unless in writing, no waiver of any provisions of these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and the failure of Conscious Content Media to exercise or enforce any right or remedy in these Terms does not waive that right or remedy. If an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms to be invalid, the parties agree that the court should endeavor to give effect, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

8.7 iOS Terms

You acknowledge and agree that (i) these Terms are binding between you and Conscious Company Media only, and Apple is not a party hereto, and (ii) as between Conscious Content Media and Apple, it is Conscious Content Media that is responsible for the app and the content thereof. You must use the iOS app only on an Apple-branded product that runs iOS. Your use of the app must comply with the terms of use applicable to the Apple source from which you obtain it (including the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple App Store Terms of Service). You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation to furnish you with any maintenance and support services with respect to the app.

You acknowledge that Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third party relating to the app or your possession and use of the app, including, but not limited to (i) product warranty or liability claims; (ii) any claim that the app fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation; or (iv) claims that the app infringes a third party's intellectual property rights.

In the event of any failure of the iOS version of the app to conform to any applicable warranty that has not been effectively disclaimed by these Terms, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the app (if any) to you; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the app, and, as between Apple and Conscious Content Media, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be Conscious Content Media's responsibility, but only to the extent provided by these Terms of Use. Please read the entire Terms of Use, as other sections of these Terms limit Conscious Content Media's liability in this regard.

PRODUCTS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS

Little Passports offers a variety of child-directed products for sale through its Website, including, but not limited to, products that include hands-on activities, collectibles, stickers, letters, activity books, experiment kits, comic books, and other materials (“Product” or “Products”). Customers may purchase Products either a la carte basis or on a subscription basis (“Subscription(s)”). Non-subscription, one-off Product purchases are one-time, non-recurring sales.

Little Passports delivers Subscriptions on a recurring basis through physical packages sent via the postal mail. Each Subscription includes a variety of Products and Product lines suitable for a range of ages and covering certain subject matters. For instance, the “Early Explorers” Subscription includes Products concerning world themes and is suitable for children from three to five years old; meanwhile, the “Science Junior” Subscription includes Products focusing on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and is suitable for children from five to eight years old. For more information regarding billing for Subscriptions, please see the “PAYMENTS” section, below.

PAYMENTS

When you purchase a Little Passports Subscription or Product(s) through the Website, we will bill the credit card or other payment method that you have provided (your “Payment Method”). Your Payment Method will be billed before the shipping date for your Subscription package or Product(s) in order for Little Passports to process the shipment.

Any Subscription that you purchase will automatically renew on a recurring basis, the cadence of which will be communicated to you when you purchase the Subscription. Subscriptions renew at the same cadence you specify when you initially purchase the Subscription, unless you request a change after such purchase. For example, a 12-month Subscription will automatically renew for an additional 12-month term, which will begin once the initial Subscription term ends. Subscriptions will renew at the Subscription rate that is applicable to the Subscription line that is being renewed on the date upon which the renewal is processed (plus any applicable sales tax and/or shipping fees). By way of illustration, if you purchase a 12-month Subscription, your Subscription will renew to an additional 12-month Subscription term at the rate for that additional Subscription at the time of the renewal is processed; this price may be different than the rate that applied during the initial Subscription term. You may elect to cancel a Subscription or not renew a Subscription at your discretion.

Payments for Subscriptions will continue until you elect to cancel the Subscription. If for any reason your Subscription has fewer packages remaining than the renewal term, you will be charged a prorated amount for the remaining packages.

You may elect to cancel your Subscription at any time by logging into My Account and cancelling the Subscription or by emailing Little Passports Customer Care Team at support@littlepassports.com. Cancellation must occur at least 2 days prior to your next billing date, which can be found in your My Account under Manage Subscriptions or by emailing Little Passports’ Customer Care Team at support@littlepassports.com. Any packages paid for prior to cancelling, be it from your initial or a renewal term, will continue to be delivered.

In order to continue your Subscription or complete a Product sale, you authorize Little Passports to charge your Payment Method for the payment due. Little Passports reserves the right to change the timing of its billing in its discretion including but not limited to, the following if your Payment Method has not successfully settled; if there are unforeseen delays that hinder Little Passport’s ability to ship to you; or if there are changes to your account or Subscriptions. Please note that you may request to switch from one Subscription line (Early Explorers, World Edition, USA Edition, Science Junior and Science Expeditions) to another if this is offered as per of the functionality associated with your Subscription. In addition, your Subscription to a particular Subscription line may automatically progress to next Subscription line as a convenience to you in the event you have received all available Products under a Subscription. If your Subscription is automatically switched from your current Subscription line (an “Updated Subscription”) to another Subscription you will be notified via email.

Capitalized terms not defined here will have the same meaning as in the Little Passport’s Terms of Use:

  • Qualified Referral. A “Qualified Referral” is defined as the completed purchase of a Little Passports 6- or 12-month Subscription oncom by a person (a “Referred Customer”) who arrives to our website by clicking your Refer-a-Friend program linkreceived via email. You are limited to one Qualified Referral for each Referred Customer; in other words, additional/repeat purchases made by a Referred Customer are not counted as additional Qualified Referrals.
  • Referred Customer. The Referred Customer and the Referrer cannot be the same person (for example, by using a different email address). You cannot refer yourself to earn referral rewards and purchases made by Referred Customers who share your email address, billing address or shipping information will not qualify for a referral reward.
  • Referral Rewards. Subject to these Terms & Conditions, once a Qualified Referral occurs, you will receive via email a single-use, promotional $25 coupon code that may be used towards the purchase of Little Passports Subscriptions or Product(s) on littlepassports.com. This coupon code can be applied during the checkout process on littlepassports.com.
    Coupon Code Limitations. Promotional coupon codes cannot be combined with any other offer and may not be redeemed for cash or any cash equivalent, including but not limited to gift cards, certificates, or refunds. If the coupon code is used on an order of lesser dollar value than the coupon, you will forfeit any remaining balance.
    As a Referrer, you are responsible for any and all tax liability resulting from referral rewards received.
    The coupon code for the Referrer will expire 3 months after it is sent via email. The coupon code for the Referred Customer will expire 1 month after it is sent via email.
  • Eligibility is limited to individuals only. Little Passports’s Program cannot be used by businesses for affiliate lead generation as determined in Little Passports’s sole discretion.
  • No Spam or Posting on Coupon Sites. You may not post or promote your referral link on coupon sites or other websites created to take advantage of referral traffic generated from individuals searching for coupons or other discount codes, as determined by Little Passports in its sole discretion. You must comply with all up-to-date “SPAM” laws. For example, emails must be created and distributed in a personal manner and bulk email distribution is strongly discouraged. Any distribution of your referral link that could constitute unsolicited commercial email or “spam” under any applicable law or regulation is expressly prohibited and will be grounds for immediate termination of your account and exclusion from Little Passports’s Refer-a-Friend program.
  • Right to Close Accounts. Little Passports reserves the right to close the account(s) of any Referrer and/or Referred Customer and to request proper payment if the Referrer and/or Referred Customer attempts to use the Little Passports’s Program in a questionable manner or breaches any of these Terms & Conditions or is in violation of any law, statute or governmental regulation.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

You and Little Passports agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this User Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including disputes related to the interpretation, enforceability or formation of this “Dispute Resolution” section, or the use of the Website or Little Passports Materials, products or services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right: (i) to bring an individual action in small claims court and (ii) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights (the action described in the foregoing clause (ii), an “IP Protection Action”). Without limiting the preceding sentence, you will also have the right to litigate any other Dispute if you provide Little Passports with written notice of your desire to do so by email at customerservice@littlepassports.com or regular mail at 121 Varick St., Floor 3, New York, NY 10013 within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to this User Agreement (such notice, an “Arbitration Opt-out Notice”). If you don’t provide Little Passports with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice within the thirty (30) day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any Dispute except as expressly set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action or, if you timely provide Little Passports with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, will be the state and federal courts located in the Northern District of California and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Unless you timely provide Little Passports with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, you acknowledge and agree that you and Little Passports are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Little Passports otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of this User Agreement.

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

Unless you and Little Passports otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and Little Passports submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA 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’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitations of Liability” section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. Little Passports will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.

Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules, but if you are unable to pay any of them, Little Passports will pay them for you. In addition, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, Little Passports will pay all such fees unless 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)).

Notwithstanding the provisions of the “Amendments” section above, if Little Passports changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you first accepted this User Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to this User Agreement), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to www.Little Passports.com) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of Little Passports’ email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Little Passports in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section as of the date you first accepted this User Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to this User Agreement).

GENERAL PROVISIONS

This User Agreement, our Privacy Policy, our FAQs and our other published policies contain the entire understanding between you and Little Passports in connection with the Website and the Little Passports Materials and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations or discussions, whether oral or written, between you and Little Passports with respect thereto. If any provision of this User Agreement is found to be illegal, void or unenforceable (either by an arbitrator appointed pursuant to the terms of the “Arbitration” section above or by court of competent jurisdiction, but only if you timely opt out of arbitration by sending us an Arbitration Opt-out Notice in accordance with the terms set forth above), that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of this User Agreement will remain in full force and effect. You may not assign or transfer this User Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without Little Passport’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer this User Agreement, without such consent, will be null. Little Passport may freely assign or transfer this User Agreement without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, this User Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

Little Passport’s failure to enforce any right or provision of this User Agreement will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Little Passports. Except as expressly set forth in this User Agreement, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under this User Agreement will be without prejudice to its other remedies under this User Agreement or otherwise.

We do not want to receive information that is confidential or proprietary.

This Agreement will not be construed against either party as the drafter.

You are responsible for being informed about and complying with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to your use of the Services.

Your registration and use of the Services constitutes consent to receiving electronic communications from Us. You agree that any such communications from Us satisfies any legal requirements, such as that notice be provided to you in writing. You also consent to receiving promotional messages, offers, surveys, and requests electronically. If you no longer want to receive non-transactional communications, you may unsubscribe at any time.

As stated above, the Agreement includes these terms and any additional terms you enter into with Company.

You cannot assign the Agreement without the written agreement. We can assign the agreement to any entity that agrees to be bound by the terms of the Agreement.

The Agreement is governed by California law, excluding its choice of laws principles. The exclusive venue for any litigation arising from or related to the Services shall be the courts of Los Angeles County, California, except for any optional arbitration as described next. Excluding claims for equitable relief, if the total amount in dispute is less than $5,000, either party may elect to resolve the claim through binding arbitration by initiating arbitration through an established provider that is agreed by the parties. The arbitration must be conducted under the following rules: (a) at the choice of the party seeking relief, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online, or solely on written submissions; (b) no party or witness will make any personal appearance unless the parties agree otherwise; and (c) the winning party may have the arbitrator's award entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any claims (in court or in arbitration) must be brought in the initiating party's individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class action or other similar proceeding. This Agreement does not allow class of collective arbitrations even if the arbitration procedures or rules would. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

If any part of the Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that condition will not affect any other provision of the Agreement. A delay or failure to require performance of any provision will not constitute a waiver of any rights and will not impede the ability to enforce that provision later.

KidPass Terms Of Service

Please read these Terms of Service (collectively with KidPass, Inc.'s Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines and Copyright Dispute Policy, the "Terms of Service") fully and carefully before using KidPass.com (the "Site") and the services (including the ECE Services (as defined below)), features, content or applications (together with the Site and the ECE Services, the "Services") offered by KidPass, Inc. ("KidPass", "we", "us" or "our"). These Terms of Service set forth the legally binding terms and conditions for your use of the Site and the Services.

  1. Acceptance of Terms of Service.
    1. By registering for and/or using the Services in any manner, including but not limited to visiting or browsing the Site, you agree to these Terms of Service and all other operating rules, policies and procedures that may be published from time to time on the Site by us, each of which is incorporated by reference and each of which may be updated from time to time without notice to you.
    2. Certain of the Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions specified by us from time to time; your use of such Services is subject to those additional terms and conditions, which are incorporated into these Terms of Service by this reference.
    3. These Terms of Service apply to all users of the Services, including, without limitation, users who are contributors of content, information, and other materials or services, registered or otherwise.
    4. ARBITRATION NOTICE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER: EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DISPUTES DESCRIBED IN THE ARBITRATION SECTION BELOW, YOU AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.
  2. Eligibility. You represent and warrant that you are at least 13 years of age. If you are under age 13, you may not, under any circumstances or for any reason, use the Services. We may, in our sole discretion, refuse to offer the Services to any person or entity and change its eligibility criteria at any time. You are solely responsible for ensuring that these Terms of Service are in compliance with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to you and the right to access the Services is revoked where these Terms of Service or use of the Services is prohibited or to the extent offering, sale or provision of the Services conflicts with any applicable law, rule or regulation. Further, the Services are offered only for your use, and not for the use or benefit of any third party.
  3. The Services.
    1. Overview. The Services allow you to reserve, schedule, purchase, access and attend a wide range of recreational activities, events, event planning services and childcare services. KidPass does not own, operate or control any of the activities or services that are offered at or through such facilities, or guarantee the availability of particular activities or services. The type, quantity and availability of activities and services offered are determined by KidPass in its sole discretion.
    2. Options. KidPass has various subscription and promotional plans, as well as non-subscription purchases and both free and paid services and products. These options (such as the ECE Services, described below) may be subject to additional terms and conditions. We reserve the right to modify, terminate or otherwise amend our offered options and plans at any time in our discretion. KidPass makes no representations or warranties on the quantity, availability, type or frequency at which any activities or other offerings will be available to you.
    3. Plans. You will need to register for an Account (as further described below) before you sign up for a subscription or use any of our Services. A subscription starts on the date that you sign up for a subscription and submit payment via a valid Payment Method (defined below). Unless we otherwise communicate a different time period to you at the time of sign up or otherwise, each billing cycle is one month in length (a "Subscription Cycle"). When you sign up and purchase your KidPass subscription, your first Subscription Cycle will be billed immediately. Your KidPass subscription automatically renews each month, and we will automatically bill the monthly subscription fee to your Payment Method on the same date each month, until your subscription is cancelled or terminated. We reserve the right to change the timing of our billing (and if we do, we'll make adjustments to the amounts we charge, as appropriate). In the event your paid subscription began on a day not contained in a given month, we may bill your Payment Method on a day in the applicable month or such other day as we deem appropriate. If you add a subscription or if you pause, hold, resume, restart, postpone, cancel, upgrade or downgrade to a different subscription, all such subscriptions will be governed by these Terms of Service. Subscriptions will continue indefinitely until canceled or terminated.
    4. Credits. If you have a membership, you will be allotted credits to be used to book activities during a Subscription Cycle. If you don't use all of your credits before your Subscription Cycle ends, we will automatically rollover such unused credits for a period of 90 days. You may also happen to receive credits through purchasing credits individually, through other plans, refunds, credit-backs, or through other means and they will also expire with these same terms applied. If your subscription is canceled or terminated your unused credits will expire immediately. We will not refund your payment for any unused amount, and credits have no cash value outside of our Services. When your cycle automatically renews for the next month, you'll automatically receive your new allotment of credits.
    5. Activity Availability. The prices and number of credits needed to book a specific activity is based on a number of factors, including facilities, location, pricing, popularity, and other characteristics. KidPass does not guarantee the availability of particular activities, and availability may change at any time. KidPass determines the type, quantity, prices, discounts, credits, allocation and availability of activities in its sole discretion.
    6. Reservations and Cancellations. As a KidPass user, you must reserve and cancel your activities through the Site. It is a breach of these Terms of Service if you reserve or cancel directly with an activity provider, independent of KidPass. We reserve the right to charge you the full amount that the activity provider charges for such activity and/or any applicable cancellation fees, and/or to suspend or terminate your subscription if you reserve or cancel directly with such activity provider.
  4. ECE Services.
    1. General.
      1. The "ECE Service" is a network that connects you with early childhood education professionals and teachers ("Providers") for ECE classes. These Terms of Service place certain restrictions on your use of the ECE Services, but you understand that KidPass is not a party to the relationship formed between you and a Provider. You may use KidPass to facilitate your receipt of the ECE Services, but KidPass can't and won't be responsible for making sure the ECE Services are actually provided or are up to a certain standard of quality, or for mediating disputes between you and Providers. KidPass similarly can't and won't be responsible for ensuring that information (including credentials) a Provider provides about himself or herself is accurate or up-to-date. We don't control the actions of any Provider, and Providers aren't our employees.
      2. You and a Provider may choose to enter into a separate agreement outside of KidPass regarding the ECE Services (a "Supplemental Agreement"). We will not be a party to, and will not be responsible for enforcing, such Supplemental Agreement. We encourage you to use Supplemental Agreements, but we will not review their terms. If you choose to enter into a Supplemental Agreement, it must not, in any manner, conflict with these Terms of Service.
    2. Enrollment in an ECE Class.
      1. Providers shall routinely offer tours and open houses so that you can visit the location and premises of a Provider's ECE class. You must attend such a tour or open house before enrolling your child(ren) in an ECE class.
      2. While attending a tour or open house, you may inform the Provider that you would like to enroll your child(ren) in such Provider's ECE class, and such Provider may send you an invitation to enroll your child(ren) in the ECE class ("Enrollment Invitation") after the tour or open house. The Enrollment Invitation may include the duration of the ECE class and the specific price. When you receive an Enrollment Invitation, you must either confirm or reject the Enrollment Invitation within the time period as stated therein ("Enrollment Invitation Period"). When a Provider sends you an Enrollment Invitation, we will automatically share with you (i) the first and last name of Provider providing the Enrollment Invitation and (ii) a link to the Provider's KidPass Account profile page. If you are unable to confirm or decide to reject an enrollment request within the Enrollment Invitation Period, any amounts collected by KidPass (via the Payment Processor, as defined below) for the Enrollment Invitation as described in "Fees for the ECE Services" below will be refunded to you.
      3. If, after the tour or open house, you request to enroll your child(ren) in the ECE class via the Site, the applicable Provider will be required to either confirm or reject the enrollment request within the Enrollment Request Period specified when you send the request, or the enrollment request will automatically expire. When you submit an enrollment request via the Site, we will share with the applicable Provider (i) your first and last name, (ii) a link to your KidPass Account profile page and (iii) an indication of whether or not your have provided other information to KidPass, such as a verified email address, or a government ID. If the Provider is unable to confirm or decides to reject an enrollment request within the Enrollment Request Period, any amounts collected by KidPass (via the Payment Processor) for the requested ECE class enrollment as described in "Fees for the ECE Services" below will be refunded to you.
      4. The applicable Provider, not KidPass, is solely responsible for honoring any confirmed ECE class enrollment(s) and making available any ECE class(es) reserved through the Site. You agree to personally inspect the premises of the ECE class via a tour or open house prior to your child(ren)'s attendance at any ECE class and acknowledge that KidPass is not responsible for the nature and/or condition of such ECE class.
    3. Cancelling Enrollments.
      1. A Provider may cancel an ECE class at any time before an ECE class begins. If a Provider has confirmed enrollment for an ECE class, and the Provider subsequently cancels such ECE class, (i) KidPass will refund to you the fees and deposit for such enrollment pursuant to these Terms of Service and (ii) you will receive a message from KidPass containing alternative ECE class options and other related information. If you request an enrollment from one of the alternative ECE class and the Provider associated with such alternative ECE class confirms your requested enrollment, then you agree to pay KidPass the fees relating to the confirmed enrollment for the alternative ECE Class, in accordance with these Terms of Service. If a Provider cancelled a confirmed enrollment and you have not received a message from KidPass, please contact support@kidpass.com. KidPass will have no liability to you for any such cancellations by a Provider.
      2. If you cancel a requested ECE class enrollment before the requested enrollment is confirmed by the Provider, KidPass will cancel any pre-authorization to your Payment Method and/or refund any nominal amounts charged to your Payment Method in connection with the requested ECE class enrollment within a reasonable period of time.
      3. If you wish to cancel a confirmed enrollment, either prior to or after your child(ren) have begun the ECE class, the cancellation policy of the Provider as described for the applicable ECE class will apply to such cancellation. The cancellation policy will specify when the deposit is forfeit due to a cancellation of a confirmed enrollment. Our ability to refund the ECE class fees and other amounts charged to you will depend upon the terms of the applicable cancellation policy. KidPass will initiate any refunds due pursuant to these Terms of Service.
    4. Fees for the ECE Services.
      1. You are responsible for paying the amounts due and payable by you in exchange sending your child(ren) to an ECE class (the "ECE Class Fees"). The ECE Class Fees shall be separate from any subscription fees you pay to KidPass. The ECE Class Fees payable will be displayed to you before you accept an Enrollment Invitation from a Provider and/or before you send an enrollment request to a Provider. KidPass will collect the ECE Class Fees from you either at the time of your acceptance of the Provider's Enrollment Invitation or at the time of your enrollment request or upon the Provider's confirmation of the enrollment request (depending upon your Payment Method).
      2. You agree that KidPass may charge your Payment Method the ECE Class Fees for any Enrollment Invitation confirmed or enrollment requested in connection with such your Account. In order to establish an enrollment pending the applicable Provider's confirmation of your requested enrollment, you understand and agree that KidPass, on behalf of the Provider, reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) obtain a pre-authorization via your Payment Method for the ECE Class Fees or (ii) charge your Payment Method a nominal amount, not to exceed one dollar ($1), to verify your Payment Method. As a general rule, KidPass will collect the ECE Class Fees due once KidPass receives confirmation of your enrollment from the applicable Provider. If needed, you understand and agree that KidPass may keep attempting to continue charging or attempting to charge your account to collect the fees, which may potentially cause additional fees that you are responsible for. In instances in which KidPass is unable to collect ECE Class Fees in the ordinary course, KidPass may elect to collect ECE Class Fees at a later point in time.
  5. Kidpass
    1. Services Description
      1. KidPass is an online marketplace and platform (including content, commerce, directories, services, communication tools, news, guides, offline and online activities, business software, and other tools and services) designed for Parents to find and book Classes, Activities, Services, and Products ("Classes") for the benefit of their child or children and for businesses, class providers, and instructors ("Providers") to market, sell and conduct their Classes. These Classes include both offline and online Classes that can be delivered through the KidPass Digital Platform, other platforms, and other means.
      2. As the provider of an online marketplace, tools, and platforms, KidPass does not own, create, sell, resell, control, or manage any Classes. KidPass's responsibilities are limited to: (i) providing the Site as an online marketplace and platform (including, but not limited to the Partner Dashboard, Partner Site, and KidPass Digital Platform) to facilitate the sale, purchase, and conduct of Classes, and (ii) serving as the limited agent of each Provider for the purpose of accepting payments from a Parent on behalf of the Provider.
      3. There are risks that you assume when dealing with other Users (including those who may be acting under false pretenses). While KidPass strives to provide a safe and welcoming environment for its Users, you agree that all of these risks are ultimately borne by you, and not KidPass. KidPass does not control the behavior of Users or the quality of the Classes. As a result, KidPass cannot guarantee the authenticity, quality, safety, legality, or appropriateness of the Classes.
    2. Class Recordings
      1. Classes that take place through KidPass's video chat platform are automatically recorded by KidPass ("Class Recordings"). We value student and Provider privacy, and our use of Class Recordings is extremely limited. Specifically, Class Recordings are in certain conditions, as determined by KidPass, made available to the Provider providing the Class in certain conditions, in order to allow them to review the Class Recording in order to improve their Classes or instruction, potentially provide a viewable copy to students who missed the Class or who wish to review the Class for their personal educational purposes, or who wish to use their Class Recordings for other business purposes including for business, educational, and training purposes - Provider is fully responsible in all conditions for complying with local, national, and international laws and privacy requirements including all content and obtaining consent of any parties in the Class Recordings.
      2. In addition, KidPass may use Class Recordings to provide and improve our Services, for customer support, and for compliance purposes. KidPass retains Class Recordings for up to two years after the date of the applicable Class, subject to our Privacy Policy, after which they are deleted. In certain conditions, KidPass may ask to use Class Recordings for other business purposes or marketing initiatives with Providers, however we will always only use Class Recordings with your express consent.
      3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, KidPass will also delete Class Recordings earlier than two years under the following circumstances: (a) upon the request of a Parent for the deletion of their child's personally identifiable information, or (b) upon the reasonable determination of KidPass that a Class Recording should be removed to protect the privacy of certain Users or because of violations of these Terms of Service. We will not use Class Recordings containing images of you (or your children) for any other purposes without your express written consent.
      4. By using the services, you consent to you and/or your child appearing in Class Recordings for the limited purposes set forth above.
    3. Certain Provider Obligations
      1. As a Provider, you must provide KidPass with any information requested in order for KidPass to list your Classes through its Services including but not limited to a description of the Classes and the price for the Classes.
      2. KidPass has sole discretion as to which Classes we list on the marketplace and we reserve the right to reject any Classes or remove Classes from the marketplace for any reason. Additionally, KidPass has discretion to edit Class descriptions as needed to conform them to our marketplace standards.
      3. KidPass has sole discretion as to which Providers are accepted into the marketplace and we reserve the right to reject any potential Provider and remove or suspend any Provider from the marketplace for any reason. KidPass may, but is not required to, conduct background checks on and interviews of Providers in its discretion and solely for its own benefit. As a Provider, you agree to provide written and/or electronic consent to such background checks and to participate truthfully in such interviews.
      4. Each Provider is solely responsible for obtaining all licenses and other permissions required to offer or provide any Classes and KidPass assumes no responsibility for a Provider's failure to obtain such licenses or permissions or otherwise comply with any applicable laws, rules or regulations.
      5. You understand and agree that KidPass is not an insurer, agent or employer for you as a Provider. If a Parent purchases any of your Classes, any agreement you enter into with such Parent is between you and the Parent, and KidPass is not a party thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, KidPass is authorized to serve as your limited agent purely for the purpose of accepting payments from Parents on your behalf and transmitting such payments to you (minus our Fees). You acknowledge and agree that, as a Provider, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions while using the Services. With the sole exception of students enrolled in the applicable Class, and/or their Parents, you further agree that you will not share any Class Recordings made available to you by KidPass to any third parties.

  10. Payments and Billing.
    1. Paid Services. Certain of our Services may be subject to payments now or in the future (the "Paid Services"). Please note that any payment terms presented to you in the process of using or signing up for a Paid Service are deemed part of this Agreement.
    2. Billing. We use a third-party payment processor (the "Payment Processor") to bill you through a payment account linked to your Account on the Services (your "Billing Account") for use of the Paid Services. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to this Agreement. We are not responsible for error by the Payment Processor. By choosing to use Paid Services, you agree to pay us, through the Payment Processor, all charges at the prices then in effect for any use of such Paid Services in accordance with the applicable payment terms and you authorize us, through the Payment Processor, to charge your chosen payment provider (your "Payment Method"). You agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment.
    3. Payment Method. The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen Payment Method. If we, through the Payment Processor, do not receive payment from you, you agree to pay all amounts due on your Billing Account upon demand.
    4. Recurring Billing. Some of the Paid Services may consist of an initial period, for which there is a one-time charge, followed by recurring period charges as agreed to by you. By choosing a recurring payment plan, you acknowledge that such Services have an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES (E.G., MONTHLY) WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU PROVIDE PRIOR NOTICE (RECEIPT OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY US) THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE REASONABLY COULD ACT. TO TERMINATE YOUR AUTHORIZATION OR CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD, LOGIN TO YOUR ACCOUNT AND EDIT YOUR BILLING INFORMATION.
    5. Current Information Required. YOU MUST PROVIDE CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE INFORMATION FOR YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT. YOU MUST PROMPTLY UPDATE ALL INFORMATION TO KEEP YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE (SUCH AS A CHANGE IN BILLING ADDRESS, CREDIT CARD NUMBER, CHECKING ACCOUNT DETAILS, OR CREDIT CARD EXPIRATION DATE), AND YOU MUST PROMPTLY NOTIFY US OR OUR PAYMENT PROCESSOR IF YOUR PAYMENT METHOD IS CANCELLED (E.G., FOR LOSS OR THEFT) OR IF YOU BECOME AWARE OF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF SECURITY, SUCH AS THE UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OR USE OF YOUR USER NAME OR PASSWORD. CHANGES TO SUCH INFORMATION CAN BE MADE AT YOUR ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT PAGE. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE ANY OF THE FOREGOING INFORMATION, YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY CONTINUE CHARGING YOU FOR ANY USE OF PAID SERVICES UNDER YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT UNLESS YOU HAVE TERMINATED YOUR PAID SERVICES AS SET FORTH ABOVE.
    6. Change in Amount Authorized. If the amount to be charged to your Billing Account varies from the amount you preauthorized (other than due to the imposition or change in the amount of state sales taxes), you have the right to receive, and we shall provide, notice of the amount to be charged and the date of the charge before the scheduled date of the transaction. Any agreement you have with your payment provider will govern your use of your Payment Method. You agree that we may accumulate charges incurred and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each billing cycle.
    7. Auto-Renewal for Subscription Services. Unless you opt out of auto-renewal, which can be done through your Account Settings, any Subscription Services you have signed up for will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the subscription term originally selected, at the then-current non-promotional rate. To change or resign your Subscription Services at any time, go to Account Settings. If you terminate a Subscription Service, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you won't be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE TO BE CHARGED ON A RECURRING MONTHLY BASIS, YOU MUST CANCEL THE APPLICABLE PAID SERVICE THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS OR TERMINATE YOUR KIDPASS ACCOUNT BEFORE THE END OF THE RECURRING TERM. PAID SERVICES CANNOT BE TERMINATED BEFORE THE END OF THE PERIOD FOR WHICH YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID, AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, KIDPASS WILL NOT REFUND ANY FEES THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID.
    8. Reaffirmation of Authorization. Your non-termination or continued use of a Paid Service reaffirms that we are authorized to charge your Payment Method for that Paid Service. We may submit those charges for payment and you will be responsible for such charges. This does not waive our right to seek payment directly from you. Your charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when you initially selected to use the Paid Service.
    9. Free Trials and Other Promotions. Any free trial or other promotion that provides access to a Paid Service must be used within the specified time of the trial. You must stop using a Paid Service before the end of the trial period in order to avoid being charged for that Paid Service. If you cancel prior to the end of the trial period and are inadvertently charged for a Paid Service, please contact us at support@kidpass.com.
    10. Third Party Fees. In addition to fees we charge, activities or services available through the Site may also charge equipment or other amenity fees that you will be responsible for directly. For example, some activities or services might charge extra to rent equipment at a camp. Further, KidPass only gives you access to the activity or service for which you signed up on the Site (and at the specified time and location). The company or individual providing the activity or service may have additional fees for use of additional features or amenities.
  11. Termination. We may terminate your access to all or any part of the Services at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately, which may result in the forfeiture and destruction of all information associated with your membership. If you wish to terminate your Account, you may do so by following the instructions on the Site or through the Services. Any fees paid hereunder are non-refundable. Unless we communicate otherwise, following any cancellation you will continue to have access to your subscription through the end of your current prepaid Subscription Cycle, unless you cancel and receive a refund in which case your access will be terminated immediately. Note that if you do terminate your subscription, we reserve the right to charge a reactivation fee if you want to return to KidPass in future months or to restrict your access in future months. If you cancel your subscription or it is terminated for any reason, you will lose access to all activities, content, credits or features available through the subscription. Termination of the ECE Services are described in Section 5 above. All provisions of these Terms of Service which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, licenses of User Content, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.

    2. Gifts and Promotions. From time to time, we may make available gift cards for KidPass membership, or other types of promotions or promotional plans.

Promotions and promotional plans are only available to new customers that have never had a KidPass account before, are not transferable, can only be used once, cannot be combined with other offers, cannot be redeemed for cash, are void where prohibited, and may be subject to additional terms, conditions, and limitations.
    3. Offers. Offers are redeemable for certain goods, services, or experiences offered by, or facilitated through, the Provider identified with the Offer. The Provider is solely responsible for redeeming the Offer and for the care and quality of all goods, services, and experiences it provides to you and for any and all injuries, illnesses, damages, claims, liabilities, and costs it may cause you to suffer, directly or indirectly, in full or in part, whether related to the use or redemption of an Offer or not. You waive and release KidPass and its subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees, and agents from any liabilities arising from or related to any act or omission of a Provider in connection with your use of an Offer, Activity, or the goods, services, or experiences a Provider provides.
  13. Special Programs
    1. Refer-A-Friend. KidPass' Refer-a-Friend program ("RAF program") is a promotional activity by which you may earn KidPass Credit if a non-KidPass customer you refer joins KidPass as a monthly paying subscriber and makes a qualifying purchase on the Site. You may earn up to a maximum of $100 in KidPass Credits over the lifetime of your participation across all referrals ("Lifetime Program Limit"). In order to be eligible to earn KidPass Credits through the RAF Program, you must be eligible to accumulate and redeem KidPass Credits, maintain a KidPass account in good standing and with an active paid subscription and be under the Lifetime Program Limit. To participate, refer friends who are not current KidPass subscribers and who have never purchased a subscription from the Site ("New User") by sending them your personal referral link ("Unique Link"), available on the Site or provided to you as a recipient of a special offer. For a New User who accesses your Unique Link and, within the following seventy-two (72) hours (i) registers on the Site, and (ii) makes an initial purchase of a KidPass subscription priced at fourty-nine dollars ($49) or more ("Eligible Offer"), KidPass will, within a reasonable amount of time, post to your account any KidPass Credits you are eligible to receive, up to the Lifetime Program Limit. KidPass may provide various tools to help you disseminate your Unique Link. You may also share your Unique Link via email and social media. PLEASE NOTE THAT WHENEVER YOU DECIDE TO SHARE YOUR UNIQUE LINK, YOU MUST TELL YOUR FRIENDS THAT YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE KIDPASS CREDITS (CREDIT THAT GOES TOWARDS A SUBSCRIPTION PLAN) IF THEY SIGN UP AND MAKE A QUALIFYING PURCHASE. Failure to disclose this information is a violation of these Terms of Service and KidPass may terminate you immediately from the RAF Program, disqualify you from participating in the RAF Program in the future and cause the forfeiture of any KidPass Credits in your account. KidPass reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue the RAF Program, either temporarily or permanently (or any part thereof), with or without notice.

  18. ARBITRATION CLAUSE & CLASS ACTION WAIVER - IMPORTANT - PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
    Please read the following ARBITRATION AGREEMENT carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with KidPass and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from KidPass. Both you and KidPass acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms of Service, KidPass's officers, directors, employees and independent contractors ("Personnel") are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms of Service, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms of Service, Personnel will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms of Service against you as the third-party beneficiary hereof.
    1. Arbitration Rules; Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms of Service directly through good-faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to either party initiating arbitration. If such negotiations do not resolve the dispute, it shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in New York, NY. The arbitration will proceed in the English language, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the "Rules") then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes. The arbitrator shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
    2. Costs of Arbitration. The Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. KidPass will pay all arbitration fees for claims less than seventy-five thousand ($75,000) dollars. KidPass will not seek its attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous.
    3. Small Claims Court; Infringement. Either you or KidPass may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in New York, NY or any United States county where you live or work. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction, to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
    4. Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND KIDPASS WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR JURY. You and KidPass are instead choosing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In any litigation between you and KidPass over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND KIDPASS WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.
    5. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions . ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor KidPass is entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in (7) below.
    6. Opt-out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Section by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: 335 Madison Avenue, Suite 7D, New York, NY 10017, postmarked within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms of Service. You must include (i) your name and residence address, (ii) the email address and/or telephone number associated with your account, and (iii) a clear statement that you want to opt out of these Terms of Service's arbitration agreement.
    7. Exclusive Venue. If you send the opt-out notice in (6), and/or in any circumstances where the foregoing arbitration agreement permits either you or KidPass to litigate any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms of Service in court, then the foregoing arbitration agreement will not apply to either party, and both you and KidPass agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the state or federal courts located in, respectively, New York, NY, or the federal district in which that county falls.
    8. Severability. If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration Agreement section will be null and void. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with KidPass.
  19. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof, and the United States of America. You agree that any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of these Terms of Service shall be governed by the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and Federal courts of New York County, New York.
  20. Modification. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify or replace any of these Terms of Service, or change, suspend, or discontinue the Services (including without limitation, the availability of any feature, database, or content) at any time by posting a notice on the Site or by sending you notice through the Services, via e-mail or by another appropriate means of electronic communication. We may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict your access to parts or all of the Services without notice or liability. While we will timely provide notice of modifications, it is also your responsibility to check these Terms of Service periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Services following notification of any changes to these Terms of Service constitutes acceptance of those changes, which will apply to your continued use of the Services going forward. Your use of the Services is subject to the Terms of Service in effect at the time of such use.
  21. Miscellaneous.
    1. Entire Agreement and Severability. These Terms of Service are the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Services, including use of the Site, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between you and us with respect to the Services. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms of Service will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. 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. Except as expressly set forth in the section above regarding the Apple Application and the arbitration agreement, you and KidPass agree there are no third-party beneficiaries intended under these Terms of Service.
    2. Force Majeure. We shall not be liable for any failure to perform our obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation.
    3. Assignment. These Terms of Service are personal to you, and are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with our prior written consent. We may assign, transfer or delegate any of our rights and obligations hereunder without consent.
    4. Agency. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of these Terms of Service and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect.
    5. Notices. Unless otherwise specified in these Terms of Service, all notices under these Terms of Service will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail; or the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service. Electronic notices should be sent to admin@kidpass.com.
    6. No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any part of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of our right to later enforce that or any other part of these Terms of Service. Waiver of compliance in any particular instance does not mean that we will waive compliance in the future. In order for any waiver of compliance with these Terms of Service to be binding, we must provide you with written notice of such waiver through one of our authorized representatives.
    7. Headings. The section and paragraph headings in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and shall not affect their interpretation.
