THIRD-PARTY TERMS

Third-Party Services.

The Community may include or incorporate third-party software components that are generally available free of charge under licenses granting recipients broad rights to copy, modify, and distribute those components ("Third-Party Components"). Although the Community is provided to you subject to these Terms, nothing in these Terms prevents, restricts, or is intended to prevent or restrict you from obtaining Third-Party Components under the applicable third-party licenses or to limit your use of Third-Party Components under those third-party licenses.
6.
USER CONDUCT
6.1.
User Content Generally. Certain features of the Community may permit users to submit, upload, publish, broadcast, or otherwise transmit ("Post") content to the Community, including messages, reviews, photos, video or audio (including sound or voice recordings and musical recordings embodied in the video or audio), images, folders, data, text, and any other works of authorship or other works ("User Content"). You retain any copyright and other proprietary rights that you may hold in the User Content that you Post to the Community, subject to the licenses granted in these Terms.
6.2.
Limited License Grant to Community Owner. By Posting User Content to or via the Community, you grant Community Owner and Service Provider a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid right and license (with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers) to host, store, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform (including by means of a digital audio transmission), communicate to the public, reproduce, modify for the purpose of formatting for display, create derivative works as authorized in these Terms, and distribute your User Content, in whole or in part, in any media formats and through any media channels, in each instance whether now known or hereafter developed. All of the rights you grant in these Terms are provided on a through-to-the-audience basis, meaning the owners or operators of external services will not have any separate liability to you or any other third party for User Content Posted or otherwise used on external services via the Community. You agree to pay all monies owing to any person or entity resulting from Posting your User Content and from Community Owner's or Service Provider's exercise of the license set forth in this Section.
6.3.
You Must Have Rights to the Content You Post; User Content Representations and Warranties. You must not Post User Content if you are not the owner of or are not fully authorized to grant rights in all of the elements of that User Content including in all ambient music and underlying musical works embodied in any sound recording. Community Owner disclaims any and all liability in connection with User Content. You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of providing User Content via the Community. By providing User Content via the Community, you affirm, represent, and warrant to us that:
(a)
you are the Community Owner and owner of the User Content, or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to authorize Community Owner and users of the Community to use and distribute your User Content as necessary to exercise the licenses granted by you in this Section, in the manner contemplated by Community Owner, Service Provider, the Community, and these Terms;
(b)
your User Content, and the Posting or other use of your User Content as contemplated by these Terms, does not and will not: (i) infringe, violate, misappropriate, or otherwise breach any third-party right, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property, contract, or proprietary right; (ii) slander, defame, libel, or invade the right of privacy, publicity or other property rights of any other person; or (iii) cause Community Owner or Service Provider to violate any law or regulation or require Community Owner or Service Provider to obtain any further licenses from or pay any royalties, fees, compensation or other amounts or provide any attribution to any third parties; and
(c)
your User Content could not be deemed by a reasonable person to be objectionable, profane, indecent, pornographic, harassing, threatening, embarrassing, hateful, or otherwise inappropriate.
6.4.
User Content Disclaimer. Community Owner and Service Provider are under no obligation to edit or control User Content that you or other users Post and will not be in any way responsible or liable for User Content. Community Owner or Service Provider may, however, at any time and without prior notice, screen, remove, edit, or block any User Content that in our sole judgment violates these Terms, is alleged to violate the rights of third parties, or is otherwise objectionable. You understand that, when using the Community, you will be exposed to User Content from a variety of sources and acknowledge that User Content may be inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable. You agree to waive, and do waive, any legal or equitable right or remedy you have or may have against Community Owner or Service Provider with respect to User Content. If notified by a user or content owner that User Content allegedly does not conform to these Terms, Community Owner may (or may permit Service Provider to) investigate the allegation and determine whether to remove the User Content, which Community Owner and Service Provider reserve the right to do at any time, without notice, and for any reason. For clarity, Community Owner does not permit infringing activities on the Community.
6.5.
Monitoring Content. Community Owner and Service Provider do not control and do not have any obligation to monitor: (a) User Content; (b) any content made available by third parties; or (c) the use of the Community by its users. You acknowledge and agree that Community Owner and Service Provider reserve the right to, and may from time to time, monitor any and all information transmitted or received through the Community for operational and other purposes. If at any time Community Owner or Service Provider choose to monitor the content, then Community Owner and Service Provider still assume no responsibility or liability for content or any loss or damage incurred as a result of the use of content. During monitoring, information may be examined, recorded, copied, and used in accordance with
Community Owner's Privacy Policy. Community Owner and Service Provider may block, filter, mute, remove or disable access to any User Content uploaded to or transmitted through the Community without any liability to the user who Posted such User Content to the Community or to any other users of the Community.
6.6.
Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation. Community Owner and Service Provider prohibit any sexual content or suggestive content, and predatory or inappropriate behavior involving minors (i.e. users under 18 years old) or someone who appears to be a minor. This includes sharing, offering, or asking for child exploitation content, including child sexual abuse material (CSAM). If you are unsure about a piece of content involving a minor, do not share it. To report sexual, suggestive, or inappropriate behavior minors, you can use the in-line report feature on the website or app. When child sexual exploitation content is identified, the violative content is removed as soon as possible and the related account is banned. If Community Owner and Service Provider confirm the presence of CSAM, we take the steps required by law to preserve and refer the relevant content to appropriate authorities. In the United States, federal law requires that U.S.-based electronic service providers report instances of apparent CSAM to the
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). NCMEC coordinates reports with global law enforcement agencies in over 120 countries through its partner organization, the International Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

13.
DISCLAIMERS; NO WARRANTIES BY COMMUNITY OWNER
13.1.
THE COMMUNITY AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE COMMUNITY ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. COMMUNITY OWNER AND SERVICE PROVIDER DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO THE COMMUNITY AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING: (a) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT; AND (b) ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE. COMMUNITY OWNER AND ITS SERVICE PROVIDER DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE COMMUNITY OR ANY PORTION OF THE COMMUNITY, OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT OFFERED THROUGH THE COMMUNITY, WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS, VIRUSES, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, AND COMMUNITY OWNER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY OF THOSE ISSUES WILL BE CORRECTED.
13.2.
NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE COMMUNITY, SPECIFIED ENTITIES, OR SERVICE PROVIDER, OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE COMMUNITY WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING ANY OF THE SPECIFIED ENTITIES OR THE COMMUNITY THAT IS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE COMMUNITY AND YOUR DEALING WITH ANY OTHER COMMUNITY USER. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU USE ANY PORTION OF THE COMMUNITY AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY (INCLUDING YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNITY) OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, INCLUDING USER CONTENT.
13.3.
THE LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SECTION 13 (DISCLAIMERS; NO WARRANTIES BY COMMUNITY OWNER) APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Community Owner does not disclaim any warranty or other right that Community Owner is prohibited from disclaiming under applicable law.
14.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
14.1.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE SPECIFIED ENTITIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE COMMUNITY OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE COMMUNITY, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY SPECIFIED ENTITY OR SERVICE PROVIDER HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE.
14.2.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 15.5 (COMMENCING ARBITRATION) AND 15.7 (ARBITRATION RELIEF) AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE SPECIFIED ENTITIES TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE COMMUNITY OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO COMMUNITY OWNER FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE COMMUNITY IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM AND (B) US$100.
14.3.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, YOU AND COMMUNITY OWNER AGREE THAT SERVICE PROVIDER IS NOT A PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SERVICE PROVIDER WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO YOU ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. YOU AGREE THAT IF YOU BRING A CLAIM AGAINST SERVICE PROVIDER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH CLAIM IS SUBJECT TO THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE SET FORTH IN SECTION 15, AND SERVICE PROVIDER WILL BE DEEMED SUBSTITUTED FOR COMMUNITY OWNER THEREUNDER SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH CLAIM.
14.4.
EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 14 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY) WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
15.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION
15.1.
Generally. Except as described in Section 15.2 (Exceptions) and 15.3 (Opt-Out), you and Community Owner agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms, the Community, or communications from us will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND COMMUNITY OWNER ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
15.2.
Exceptions. Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between us, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
15.3.
Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 15 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to Jess Sherlock's Product Coaching Community, Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 3440 Youngfield St, #298, Wheat Ridge, CO 80401 that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Community, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration ("Opt-Out Notice"). Once Community Owner receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 15 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 16.3 (Governing Law). The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
15.4.
Arbitrator. This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between us, is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by the JAMS under the rules applicable to consumer disputes (collectively, "JAMS Rules") as modified by these Terms. The JAMS Rules and filing forms are available online at www.jamsadr.com, by calling the JAMS at +1-800-352-5267 or by contacting Community Owner.
15.5.
Commencing Arbitration. Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail ("Notice of Arbitration"). Community Owner's address for Notice is: Jess Sherlock's Product Coaching Community, 3440 Youngfield St, #298, Wheat Ridge, CO 80401. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) identify the name or account number of the party making the claim; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Community Owner may commence an arbitration proceeding. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Community Owner will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000 or if Community Owner has received 25 or more similar demands for arbitration, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the JAMS Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the 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 fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules and the other party may seek reimbursement for any fees paid to JAMS.
15.6.
Arbitration Proceedings. Any arbitration hearing will take place in the county and state of your residence unless we agree otherwise or, if the claim is for US$10,000 or less (and does not seek injunctive relief), you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a telephonic or video hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the JAMS Rules in the county (or parish) of your residence. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Community Owner must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.
15.7.
Arbitration Relief. Except as provided in Section 15.8 (No Class Actions), the arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by Community Owner before an arbitrator was selected, Community Owner will pay to you the higher of: (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator and (b) US$10,000. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or (2) if the arbitrator’s award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator’s application or conclusions of law. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
15.8.
No Class Actions. YOU AND COMMUNITY OWNER 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. Further, unless both you and Community Owner agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
15.9.
Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Community Owner makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Community Owner’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with Community Owner will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
15.10.
Enforceability. If Section 15.8 (No Class Actions) or the entirety of this Section 15 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) is found to be unenforceable, or if Community Owner receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 15 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 16.3 (Governing Law) will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
16.
MISCELLANEOUS
16.1.
Third-Party Beneficiary. The Community is powered by a technology platform provided by CircleCo, Inc. ("Service Provider"). You and we acknowledge and agree that (a) Service Provider is an intended third-party beneficiary to these Terms, (b) is entitled to rights and benefits hereunder, and (c) may enforce these Terms against you as if it were an original party hereto.
16.2.
General Terms. These Terms, including the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Community Owner regarding your use of the Community. These Terms or any rights under these Terms, may not be assigned either by us or by you in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our Service Provider's prior written consent.
