We may ask you to supply additional information relevant to your Transaction, including but not limited to your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card and your address(es) for billing and delivery (such information, “Payment Information”). You represent and warrant that the Payment Information is accurate, that you are authorized and have the legal right to use all payment method(s) represented by any such Payment Information and that you will notify us of changes to the Payment Information.

Subscriptions.

If you register for a free trial subscription, we will begin to bill your account when the free trial subscription expires, unless you cancel your subscription before that time.
Cancelling Subscriptions.
You may cancel your Subscription at any time. PLEASE NOTE, HOWEVER, THAT ALL SALES ARE FINAL.

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.
You agree not to file any action or lawsuit inconsistent with the foregoing release.
Governing Law.
You and we agree, except as provided elsewhere regarding small claims court proceedings, any Dispute arising out of or relating to the Services, Content, user interfaces, these Terms, our Privacy Policy and/or our privacy practices generally and this arbitration agreement, shall be determined by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discover than in court and is subject to very limited review by courts. YOU AGREE THAT, BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, THE U.S. FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT GOVERNS THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT YOU AND WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. This arbitration agreement shall survive termination of these Terms.
If any court of competent jurisdiction finds the above arbitration and/or class action waiver provisions invalid or inapplicable, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the U.S., in the state in which you reside, and the related appellate courts, in any related action or proceeding.
All matters relating to the Services and these Terms, and any Dispute shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction).
Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms or the Services shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the U.S. or the courts of the state in which you reside, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms in your country of residence or any other relevant country.
Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver.
YOU AND SAFERKID AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLASS MEMBER OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one party, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable as applied to any Dispute asserted by any individual, then the entirety of the arbitration provision set forth herein shall be null and void.
You and SaferKid agree to arbitrate all disputes between you and SaferKid or its affiliates, except Disputes relating to the enforcement of SaferKid’s or its affiliates’ intellectual property rights. You and SaferKid empower the arbitrator with the exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of these Terms or formation of this contract, including the arbitrability of any Dispute and any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable.
In the event of a Dispute, you or SaferKid must send to the other party a notice of Dispute, which is a written statement that sets forth the name, address and contact information of the party giving the notice, the facts giving rise to the Dispute and the relief requested. You must send any notice of Dispute via email to support@saferkid.com or via mail to 590 Lipoa Parkway, Suite 110, Kihei, HI 96753. You and SaferKid will attempt to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days from the date the notice of Dispute is sent. After sixty (60) days, you or we may commence arbitration. You may also litigate a dispute in small claims court if the Dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court. Without limiting the preceding sentence, you will also have the right to litigate any other Dispute if you provide SaferKid with written notice of your desire to do so by email at support@saferkid.com or regular mail at 590 Lipoa Parkway, Suite 110, Kihei, HI 96753 within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms (such notice, an “Arbitration Opt-out Notice”).
If you don’t provide SaferKid with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice within such 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 above. If you timely provide SaferKid with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, proper venue will be the state and federal courts located in the Los Angeles, California and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Unless you timely provide SaferKid with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND SAFERKID 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.
Arbitration Rules.
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.)
Arbitration Process.
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 arbitration will be resolved by a single attorney or retired California judge or justice, in each case, experienced in commercial and business affairs, and who has served as an arbitrator in at least fifteen (15) commercial arbitration proceedings, and pursuant to the then applicable AAA Rules, with the arbitrator also to decide all issues regarding the existence, scope and enforceability of this mandatory, final and binding arbitration agreement. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within fourteen (14) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
Arbitration Location and Procedure.
Unless you and SaferKid otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the state or province 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 SaferKid 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.
Arbitrator’s Decision.
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 “Limitation 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. SaferKid will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any non-frivolous arbitration between you and SaferKid.
Fees.
Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, SaferKid 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)).
Settlement Offers.
During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or SaferKid shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.
Changes.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the “Changes to Terms or Services” section above, if SaferKid changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to support@saferkid.com within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Modified” date above or in the date of SaferKid’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and SaferKid in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

Waiver and Severability.
No waiver by SaferKid of any term or condition set out in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of SaferKid to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.
Alternative Language.
If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, including the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations stated elsewhere herein, then the invalid or unenforceable provision(s) will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision, and the remainder of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect.
Assignment.
