Unless otherwise stated in an invoice, charges are due immediately on the invoice date.

This Agreement shall commence as of the date of the User’s access, use or subscription to the Services and shall continue in effect on a month-by-month basis unless terminated by a party as provided herein (“Term”). Either party may terminate this Agreement without cause on not less than 30 days’ prior notice, or by otherwise following any termination mechanism provided for within the Services.

A party may terminate this Agreement for cause: (i) upon thirty (30) days written notice of a material breach to the other party if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such period; or (ii) if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors.

8. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION.

8.1 Agreement to Arbitrate. This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in this Agreement as the “Arbitration Agreement.” User agrees that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between User and Maker, whether arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between the parties, will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that User may assert individual claims in small claims court, if User’s claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude User from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against Maker on User’s behalf. User agrees that, by entering into this Agreement, User and Maker are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. User’s rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

8.2 Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. USERAND MAKER AGREE THAT EACH OF THE PARTIES 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 BOTH USER AND MAKER 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. ALSO, 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), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.

8.3 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. Maker is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most User concerns can be resolved quickly and to the User’s satisfaction by emailing user support at  support@maker.ai . If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Maker should be sent to  privacy@maker.ai  (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Maker and User do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, User or Maker may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Maker or User will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which User or Maker is entitled.

8.4 Arbitration Procedures. Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website,  http://www.adr.org . Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page,  https://www.adr.org/consumer . If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of this Agreement as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under this Agreement and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.

Unless Maker and User agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made by AAA. If User’s claim is for $10,000 or less, Maker agrees that User may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If User’s claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

8.5 Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. To the extent any Arbitration Fees are not specifically allocated to either Maker or User under the AAA Rules, Maker and User shall split them equally; provided that if User is able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that User is economically unable to pay User’s portion of such Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that User should not be required to pay User’s portion of any Arbitration Fees, Maker will pay User’s portion of such fees. In addition, if User demonstrates to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Maker will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

8.6 Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

8.7 Severability. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than Section 8.2 titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of Section 8.2 above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of this Agreement will continue to apply.

8.8 Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Maker agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while User is a user of the Services, User may reject any such change by sending Maker written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, User is agreeing that User will arbitrate any dispute between the parties in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date User first accepted this Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to this Agreement).

Notices to Maker shall be addressed to the attention of the Legal Department. Notices to User shall be addressed to User’s signatory of this Agreement unless otherwise designated below.

Other than as expressly stated herein, the remedies provided herein are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other remedies of a party at law or in equity.

9.5 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision shall be modified by the court and interpreted so as best to accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in whole or in part under applicable law, such provision or such portion thereof will be ineffective as to the jurisdiction in which it is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable to the extent of its illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability and will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law so as to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties. The illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of such provision in one jurisdiction will not in any way affect the legality, validity, or enforceability of that or any other provision in any other jurisdiction.

9.6 Assignment. Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party (not to be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may assign this Agreement in its entirety, without consent of the other party, to an Affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its business, stock or assets.

Each party hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.
