By entering into the Agreement, you hereby provide your irrevocable consent to such monitoring.

FEES AND PURCHASE TERMS.

Payment. You agree to pay all fees or charges to your Account in accordance with the fees, charges and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. You must provide vipHomeLink with a valid credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or any other issuer accepted by us) or, if applicable, an account of a third-party payment provider such as PayPal (each credit card or payment provider account, a “Payment Provider”), or purchase order information, as a condition to signing up for the Services. Your Payment Provider agreement governs your use of the designated credit card or account, and you must refer to that agreement, not this Agreement, to determine your rights and liabilities. By providing vipHomeLink with your credit card number or third-party payment provider account and associated payment information, you agree that vipHomeLink is authorized to immediately invoice your Account for all fees and charges due and payable to vipHomeLink hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required. You agree to immediately notify vipHomeLink of any change in your billing address or the credit card or account used for payment hereunder. vipHomeLink reserves the right at any time to change its prices and billing methods, either immediately upon posting on vipHomeLink Properties or by e-mail delivery to you.

Service Subscription Fees. You will be responsible for payment of the applicable fee for any Services (each, a “Service Subscription Fee”) at the time you create your Account and select your monthly or annual package (each, a “Service Commencement Date”). Except as set forth in the Agreement, all fees for the Services are non-refundable. No contract will exist between you and vipHomeLink for the Services until vipHomeLink accepts your order by a confirmatory e-mail, SMS/MMS message, or other appropriate means of communication.

Withholding Taxes. You agree to make all payments of fees to vipHomeLink free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes. Any such taxes imposed on payments of fees to vipHomeLink will be your sole responsibility, and you will provide vipHomeLink with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as we may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid.

Automatic Renewal. Your subscription will continue indefinitely until terminated in accordance with the Agreement. After your initial subscription period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically commence on the first day following the end of such period (each a “Renewal Commencement Date”) and continue for an additional equivalent period, at vipHomeLink’s then-current price for such subscription. You agree that your Account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless you cancel your subscription at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the Renewal Commencement Date, by logging into and going to the “Manage Subscription” page of your “Account Management” page. If you do not wish your Account to renew automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your subscription, please contact vipHomeLink at [email protected] or log in and go to the “Manage Subscription” page on your “Account Management” page. If you cancel your subscription, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period. By subscribing, you authorize vipHomeLink to charge your Payment Provider now, and again at the beginning of any subsequent subscription period. Upon renewal of your subscription, if vipHomeLink does not receive payment from your Payment Provider, (a) you agree to pay all amounts due on your Account upon demand and/or (b) you agree that vipHomeLink may either terminate or suspend your subscription and continue to attempt to charge your Payment Provider until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your Account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received).

Discounts, Promo Codes and Premium Offers. We may, in our sole discretion, create discounts and promotional codes that may be redeemed for a discount on the Services, credit in your Account, or any other features or benefits, subject to any additional terms that we establish on a per promotional code basis (“Promo Codes”). PROMO CODES MAY ONLY BE USED ONCE PER PERSON, AND ONLY ONE PROMO CODE MAY BE USED PER ORDER. Only Promo Codes sent to you through official vipHomeLink communications channels, including through a vipHomeLink partner or reseller, are valid. You agree that Promo Codes: (i) must be used for the intended audience and purpose, and in a lawful manner; (ii) may not be duplicated, sold, or transferred in any manner, or made available to the general public (whether posted to a public forum or otherwise), unless expressly permitted and authorized in writing by us; (iii) may be disabled by us at any time for any reason without liability to us; (iv) may only be used pursuant to the specific terms that we establish for such Promo Code; (v) are not redeemable for cash; and (vi) may expire prior to your use. From time to time, we may offer special promotions associated with some of our Services. All promotional offers may be discontinued at any time, without prior notice, at our discretion and are only available while supplies last or for the duration noted.

Free Trials and Other Promotions. Any free trial or other promotion that provides Registered User level access to the Services must be used within the specified time of the trial. At the end of the trial period, your use of that Service will expire, and any further use of the Service is prohibited unless you pay the applicable subscription fee. If you are inadvertently charged for a subscription, please contact vipHomeLink to have the charges reversed.

INDEMNIFICATION. You agree to indemnify and hold vipHomeLink, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners, suppliers, and licensors (each, a “vipHomeLink Party” and collectively, the “vipHomeLink Parties”) harmless from any losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of any and all of the following: (a) Your Content; (b) your use of, or inability to use, any vipHomeLink Property; (c) your violation of the Agreement; (d) your violation of any rights of another party, including any Registered Users; (e) any injury to you or a family member resulting from your use of any vipHomeLink Property or any act or omission resulting from any recommendation received from the Application, related content, or the Services; or (f) your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. vipHomeLink reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with vipHomeLink in asserting any available defenses. This provision does not require you to indemnify any of the vipHomeLink Parties for any unconscionable commercial practice by such party or for such party’s fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, or suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with the Website or any Services provided hereunder. You agree that the provisions in this section will survive any termination of your Account, the Agreement and/or your access to vipHomeLink Properties.

TERM AND TERMINATION.

Term. The Agreement commences on the date when you accept them (as described in the preamble above) and remain in full force and effect while you use vipHomeLink Properties, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the Agreement.

Termination of Services by vipHomeLink. You will have thirty (30) days from the Service Commencement Date, or any Renewal Commencement Date, for any Services hereunder, to cancel such Service, in which case vipHomeLink will refund your Service Subscription Fee, if already paid pursuant to Section 9.1 (Payment) or 9.2 (Service Subscription Fees), for the applicable Service. Except as set forth above, the Service Subscription Fee for any Service shall be non-refundable. If timely payment cannot be charged to your Payment Provider for any reason, if you have materially breached any provision of the Agreement, or if vipHomeLink is required to do so by law (e.g., where the provision of the Website, the Application, the Software or the Services is, or becomes, unlawful), vipHomeLink has the right to, immediately and without notice, suspend or terminate any Services provided to you. You agree that all terminations for cause shall be made in vipHomeLink’s sole discretion and that vipHomeLink shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your Account.

Termination of Services by You. If you want to terminate the Services provided by vipHomeLink, you may do so by (a) notifying vipHomeLink at any time and (b) closing your Account for all of the Services that you use. Your notice should be sent, in writing, to vipHomeLink’s address set forth below. As noted above in Section 9.4, upon termination, if you cancel your subscription or otherwise terminate your Account or the Services, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term, but you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period. THE SERVICES WILL CONTINUE AT THE END OF EACH SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROCEDURE SET FORTH IN SECTION 9.4 (AUTOMATIC RENEWAL).

Effect of Termination. Termination of any Service includes removal of access to such Service and barring of further use of the Service. Termination of all Services also includes deletion of your password and all related information, files and Content associated with or inside your Account (or any part thereof), including Your Content and your home profile and associated home history information. Upon termination of any Service, your right to use such Service will automatically terminate immediately. You understand that any termination of Services may involve deletion of Your Content associated therewith, including your home profile and associated home history information, from our live databases. vipHomeLink will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any suspension or termination, including for deletion of Your Content. All provisions of the Agreement which by their nature should survive, shall survive termination of Services, including without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitation of liability.

No Subsequent Registration. If your registration(s) with, or ability to access, vipHomeLink Properties or any other vipHomeLink community, is discontinued by vipHomeLink due to your violation of any portion of the Agreement or for conduct otherwise inappropriate, then you agree that you shall not attempt to re-register with or access vipHomeLink Properties or any vipHomeLink community through use of a different member name or otherwise, and you acknowledge that you will not be entitled to receive a refund for fees related to those vipHomeLink Properties to which your access has been terminated. In the event that you violate the immediately preceding sentence, vipHomeLink reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately take any or all of the actions set forth herein without any notice or warning to you.

INTERNATIONAL USERS. vipHomeLink Properties can be accessed from countries around the world and may contain references to Services and Content that are not available in your country. These references do not imply that vipHomeLink intends to announce such Services or Content in your country. vipHomeLink Properties are controlled and offered by vipHomeLink from its facilities in the United States of America. vipHomeLink makes no representations that vipHomeLink Properties are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use vipHomeLink Properties from other countries do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires U.S. users to arbitrate disputes with vipHomeLink and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute, claim, or request for relief relating in any way to your access or use of the Website, to any products sold or distributed through the Website, or to any aspect of your relationship with vipHomeLink, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (a) you may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if your claims qualify,; and (b) you or vipHomeLink may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all disputes or claims and requests for relief that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.

Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your dispute or claim or request for relief to our registered agent (AYBIII, 6 South Street, Ste 302, Morristown, NJ 07960). The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or request for relief under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other disputes shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, vipHomeLink will pay them for you. In addition, vipHomeLink will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for disputes, claims, or requests for relief totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.

You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any assertion that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and vipHomeLink. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.

Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND VIPHOMELINK HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and vipHomeLink are instead electing that all disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 15.1 (Application of Arbitration Agreement) above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, AND REQUESTS FOR RELIEF WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this section’s limitations as to a given dispute, claim, or request for relief, then such aspect must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of New York. All other disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be arbitrated.

30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: [email protected], within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your vipHomeLink username (if any), the email address you used to set up your vipHomeLink account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.

Severability. Except as provided in Section 15.5 (Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief), if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with vipHomeLink.

Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if vipHomeLink makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing vipHomeLink at the following address: [email protected].

You acknowledge and agree that the availability of the Application and the Services is dependent on the third party from whom you received the Application license, e.g., the Apple App Store or Google Play (each, an “App Store”). You acknowledge that the Agreement is between you and vipHomeLink and not with the App Store. vipHomeLink, not the App Store, is solely responsible for vipHomeLink Properties, including the Application, the content thereof, maintenance, support services, and warranty therefor, and addressing any claims relating thereto (e.g., product liability, legal compliance or intellectual property infringement). In order to use the Application, you must have access to a wireless network, and you agree to pay all fees associated with such access. You also agree to pay all fees (if any) charged by the App Store in connection with vipHomeLink Properties, including the Application.

In the event of any failure of the App Store Sourced Application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App Store Sourced Application to you and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App Store Sourced Application. As between vipHomeLink and Apple, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of vipHomeLink.

You and vipHomeLink acknowledge that, as between vipHomeLink and Apple, Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third party relating to the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of the App Store Sourced Application, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App Store Sourced Application fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.

You and vipHomeLink acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of that App Store Sourced Application infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, as between vipHomeLink and Apple, vipHomeLink, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by the Agreement.

You and vipHomeLink acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of the Agreement as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce the Agreement as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

Without limiting any other terms of the Agreement, you must comply with all applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App Store Sourced Application.
