​

IX. Dispute Resolution

​

If a dispute ever arises between us, please contact us via email or mail at the address set forth in Article XIII. If we cannot resolve the matter informally, you and we each agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and us shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify (“Agreement to Arbitrate”). The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate, which shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules and procedures, as modified by these Terms. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA’s website. The arbitration shall be held in Orange County, California. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or we may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and us subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone by you and/or us, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.

​

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of California, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
You and we agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s). Any relief awarded shall not affect our other users.

​

You can choose to reject the Agreement to Arbitrate by mailing us a signed opt-out notice (“Opt-Out Notice”) within 30 days after the date you first access the Services or accept any subsequently published version of these Terms. The Opt-Out Notice must include a statement that you do not agree to this Agreement to Arbitrate, your name, address, phone number, and any email address(es) used to log in to any applicable account(s) to which the opt-out applies. You must mail the Opt-Out Notice to LockDownU, Inc., Attn: Litigation and Regulatory Law Department, 1968 S. Coast Hwy, #3343, Laguna Beach, CA 92651. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate. If you opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, all other parts of these Terms, including all other provisions of this Section, will continue to apply. Opting out of this Agreement to Arbitrate has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with us.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, any claims arising in connection with the use of these Services or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year of the date of the event giving rise to such action.

​

X. Digital Millennium Copyright Act

​

If you believe any Parentipity Content infringes on your copyright, go to DMCA for instructions on how to notify us.

​

XI. Core Engine and Hosting

We may have relationships with subcontractors and service providers who assist us in providing the Services, which may include the core engine, hosting servers, system maintenance, and enhancement. These contractors may act on our behalf. We may not own the core platform that powers our websites. The core platform may be owned and operated by an authorized subcontractor. If a problem may arises with the core platform or our subcontractor ceases business operations, we shall have no liability in connection with service interruptions or discontinuance of service.

​

XII. Additional Terms

​

These Terms, including all other terms and policies referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Service, and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws rules. In the event of any inconsistencies between these Terms and the policies referenced therein, these Terms shall control. Our failure to exercise or enforce any terms herein shall not constitute a waiver, and if we fail to act with respect to your breach or anyone else’s breach on any occasion, we are not waiving our right to act with respect to future or similar breaches. If you breach any provision of these Terms, you may no longer use the Services. If these Terms or your permission to use the Services is terminated by us for any reason, the agreement formed by your acceptance of these Terms will nevertheless continue to apply and be binding upon you in respect of your prior use of the Services and anything relating to or arising from such use. If you are dissatisfied with the Services or with these Terms, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using the Services. These Terms, including any or all rights and obligations hereunder, may be freely assigned or transferred by us, but not by you. Section headings are included for convenience only, and shall not affect the interpretation of any Terms. You agree that any electronic notices we send you shall satisfy any requirement that such notices be made in writing. If any part of this these Terms is ruled to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then such part shall be deemed severable from these Terms, and shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent necessary. The remainder of these Terms, including any revised portion, shall remain and be in full force and effect.

​
