FOREWORD

Please be kind. Please remember that formulas are public, and they can be unlisted but never truly deleted. I am currently the BDFL (benevolent dictator for life) of pooldash, and I reserve the right to modify or suspend your account at anytime. On the flipside, I try to minimize this power by storing as little information about you as possible. I hope that I never have to take any action in this regard, and I promise to create a more thorough terms of service (and alert everyone) if this product ever becomes my full-time job. Here is some copy-paste-adapted legalese:

DISPUTE AND ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER; CHOICE OF LAW

SECTION 1 - DISPUTE AND ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER

Please read this carefully. It affects your rights.

SECTION 2 - SUMMARY

Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to a customer’s satisfaction by writing to our customer service department at support@pooldash.com or pooldash, Attn: Customer Service, 3675a 19th Street, California 94110. In the unlikely event that our customer service department is unable to resolve a complaint you may have to your satisfaction (or if we have not been able to resolve a dispute we have with you after attempting to do so informally), we each agree to resolve those disputes ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT (OTHER THAN THOSE RELATED TO pooldash’S ENFORCEMENT AND PROTECTION OF ITS NAME AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS) through binding arbitration or small claims court instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. This includes any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to you (such as any of our licensors, suppliers, dealers or third party vendors) whenever you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding.
Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. The arbitrator must follow this Agreement and can award the same damages and relief that a court can award.
We each also agree that this Agreement affects interstate commerce so that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply (despite the choice of law provision in the Section below). ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. Neither you nor pooldash has the right to act as a class representative or participate as a member of a class of claimants with respect to any claim.
All disputes relating in any way, directly or indirectly, to pooldash for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, personal injury, intentional torts or other tort will be arbitrated according to the laws of the State of Delaware, including any dispute about the scope of this arbitration agreement, and including all questions about the types of disputes that are subject to this arbitration agreement, all of which you agree will be decided by the arbitrators, whose decision will be final and binding on you. Any issue concerning the extent to which a dispute is subject to arbitration, or concerning the applicability, interpretation or enforceability of this Agreement, including any contention that all or part of this agreement is invalid or unenforceable, shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and resolved by the arbitrators. You acknowledge and agree that, in any arbitration proceeding, no depositions will be taken, and all other forms of discovery of facts will be limited to those things that the arbitrators determine, in their sole discretion, to be necessary. Further, in any arbitration proceeding, (i)there shall be no award of punitive, exemplary, incidental or consequential or other special damages, (ii)all damages claims and awards will be governed by the provisions of the Delaware Civil Code, and (iii)the parties will conduct the arbitration confidentially and expeditiously and will pay their own costs and expenses of arbitration, including their own attorneys’ fees. The proceeding and the decision shall be kept confidential by the parties.

SECTION 3 - CHOICE OF LAW

This Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the state of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules. Foreign laws do not apply. Arbitration or court proceedings must be in Dover County, Delaware. If any provision of the Agreement is invalid under the law of a particular jurisdiction, that provision will not apply in that jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded from this Agreement.

If any part of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to maintain the intent of this Agreement, and the other parts will remain in full force and effect. The parties shall at all times and for all purposes be deemed to be independent contractors and neither party nor its agents may bind the other party. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and all related documents that may be drawn up are only valid in the English language. This Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed to confer any rights or remedies on any third parties, except that each indemnified pooldash Party shall be a third party beneficiary hereunder. pooldash may assign or transfer its rights, or delegate any performance, under this Agreement to a third party in its sole discretion.
