Membership Plan and Term

Your Program membership, in accordance with the membership offer You accepted, is a monthly subscription membership plan, which commences at the earliest of when You receive by mail these Program membership materials or when an email from Us confirming Your enrollment in the Program has been transmitted to You containing Program membership website access information. Please refer to Your membership materials or any welcome email You receive from Us which confirms the Program membership offer. Your membership is effective immediately, unless you cancel, your membership will renew automatically and continues thereafter on a month-to-month basis, during which You will be charged the Program monthly membership fee until membership is cancelled.

Unless You notify Us beforehand that You wish to cancel Your membership by following the cancellation instructions described below, Your membership in the Program is renewed automatically on the same date of each calendar month thereafter, and You will be charged the current monthly membership fee that applies. We reserve the right to decline to renew any membership.
The payment of Your Program membership fees are made automatically by a charge to the payment source, a credit card or debit card or other payment source, authorized by You at the time You enrolled, in accordance with the payment terms to which You agreed. We and You agree that Your non-cancellation or continued use of the Program constitutes a re-affirmation of Our authorization from You to charge Your payment source on the monthly recurring basis agreed to, and that We may submit such charges without further authorization from You until You cancel Your membership or change Your payment source. You are solely responsible for any and all fees charged to Your payment source by Your card issuer or financial institution, including but not limited to any overdraft fees or fees for insufficient funds.

Should We be unable at any time to bill a membership fee to Your payment source because it has declined billing meaning that We are unable to receive from You in full through Your designated payment source the membership fee otherwise due, We may, at Our option, (i) make re-attempts to bill the transaction, or accumulate charges incurred and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each billing cycle or divide the fee otherwise due into incremental charges provided the total amount of such charges do not exceed in total the amount of the membership fee the Program was unable to bill, which the Program may do for one or more membership fee charges it has otherwise been unable to bill (ii) suspend Your right to access all of the Program membership benefits until such time as We are able to bill the outstanding charges to Your designated payment source; or (iii) terminate Your membership without notification. Though We may engage in one or more of the efforts described above, You acknowledge that should Your designated payment source decline billing of any membership fee, at any time, We may without notice to You terminate Your Program membership immediately.

Dispute Resolution And Agreement To Binding Arbitration

Please read carefully. This is an important and material term and condition of this Membership Agreement. Please refer to Your Membership Agreement at the Website for the full and complete terms of this important provision.

WE AND YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, DEMAND, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER ARISING BEFORE OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF YOUR ENROLLMENT IN THE PROGRAM AND THIS AGREEMENT) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR MEMBERSHIP IN THE PROGRAM, MANNER OF ENROLLMENT OR YOUR USE OF THE PROGRAM SERVICES OR WEBSITE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE MARKETING/ADVERTISING OF THE PROGRAM, YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF MEMBERSHIP AND MEMBERSHIP ADMINISTRATION INCLUDING MEMBERSHIP FEE BILLING AND THE PROVISION OF MEMBERSHIP SERVICES, IF NOT RESOLVED INFORMALLY BETWEEN YOU AND US, WILL BE RESOLVED ONLY BY BINDING AND CONFIDENTIAL ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. There are only two limited exceptions to arbitration that We and You hereby agree upon (e.g., an individual claim in small claims court or an injunctive claim to preserve an intellectual property right). Otherwise binding arbitration is a requirement acknowledged by You and Us to be mandatory and absolute. Arbitration replaces the right to go to court. We and You agree that this Agreement affects interstate commerce so that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply. There is no judge or jury in arbitration. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE BOUND TO ARBITRATION AS THE FORUM AND METHOD TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES (save for the limited circumstance referenced) AND THAT YOU ARE KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY RELINQUISHING ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN A COURT OF LAW.

For all disputes, You must first give Us an opportunity to resolve Your claim by sending a written description of Your claim to Us at Membership Services, , P.O. Box 530069, Henderson, NV 89053. You and We each agree to negotiate with each other in good faith about Your claim. If We do not resolve the claim within 60 days after We receive Your claim description, You may pursue Your claim in arbitration. There are only two limited exceptions to this mandatory and binding arbitration requirement. First is that You and We retain the right to pursue, on an individual basis only, in a small claims court any claim that is within that court's jurisdiction. If a claim proceeds in court there will be no jury trial. You and We unconditionally waive any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim. Second is that if and to the extent a dispute arises from any claim from a violation of Our or Your intellectual property rights, the aggrieved party may file an action for injunctive (or other equitable) relief in a judicial forum subject to the terms of this Membership Agreement.

In any proceeding brought by You against Us in arbitration or small claims court, We agree not to seek reimbursement of Our attorney's fees from You.

Either You or We may commence an arbitration proceeding. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will arbitrate all disputes, and its Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes shall apply. Unless You and We agree otherwise, the arbitration will take place in the county of Your billing address. The arbitration proceeding will be conducted before a single commercial arbitrator. Upon filing of the arbitration demand, We agree to pay all filing and arbitrator fees for claims that total less than $750. For claims that total $750 or more, the payment of filing and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Apart from the above, We agree to advance or reimburse filing fees and other fees if the arbitrator determines there is good reason for requiring Us to do so or We determine there is good cause for doing so, whether or not You ask Us to do so. Our intention is to prevent Your arbitration costs from being cost-prohibitive as compared to litigation costs. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Us or You shall not be disclosed by the recipient of the offer to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which You or We are entitled. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief and attorneys' fees, except that incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages may not be awarded. The arbitrator shall not be authorized to treat any claim on a class action or representative basis. For claims in regard to which You provided prior written notice and negotiated in good faith as required before initiating arbitration, if the arbitrator finds that You are the prevailing party in the arbitration and awards You monetary relief in an amount greater than what We had offered You to settle the dispute but less than $1500, We agree to pay You $1500 instead of the amount awarded to You. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and legally binding and judgment may be entered thereon in a court of competent jurisdiction.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER: YOU MAY NOT BRING A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION IN COURT NOR MAY YOU BRING ANY CLAIM IN ARBITRATION AS A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BE A PART OF ANY CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION BROUGHT BY ANYONE ELSE, OR BE REPRESENTED IN A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. YOU EXPRESSLY, BY THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, WAIVE THESE RIGHTS. NO ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING MAY BE JOINED, CONSOLIDATED OR COMBINED WITH ANOTHER ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR WILL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO PROCEED ON A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS AND MAY ONLY HEAR YOUR INDIVIDUAL DISPUTE. THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT ALLOW CLASS ARBITRATIONS EVEN IF THE AAA PROCEDURES OR RULES WOULD. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD MONEY OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM.
This Arbitration provision shall survive any termination of Your Program membership or this Agreement.. If unsuccessful in settling a dispute through direct discussions, either party may, notwithstanding any of the above, elect to endeavor first to settle the dispute by mediation by phone administered by the AAA before resorting to arbitration.

IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY CLAIM, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY YOU BE INSTITUTED AGAINST US MORE THAN TWO (2) YEARS AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE. These Terms of Membership and all disputes between the Parties shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within California between California residents, without regard to any conflict-of-law provisions. Further, in any arbitration, both parties agree the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized under California law.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE, OUR SPONSORS, BUSINESS PARTNERS, SUPPLIERS, VENDORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS AND LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY PARTY CLAIMING THROUGH YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXTRAORDINARY, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (HOWEVER ARISING), ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE OR ACCESS THE PROGRAM, ITS WEBSITE OR ITS BENEFITS OR SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARISE IN CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, UNDER STATUTE, IN EQUITY, AT LAW, OR OTHERWISE, UNLESS LIMITED BY APPLICABLE LAW).

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE WE HAVE NO LIABILITY TO YOU (I) AS A SELLER OF ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED OR MANUFACTURED BY OTHERS, INCLUDING NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES OF ANY MERCHANT, TRAVEL PROVIDER OR TRANSPORTATION CARRIER, OR OTHER SUPPLIER OF SERVICES AND PRODUCTS; (II) FOR DEFECTIVE OR NONCONFORMING PRODUCTS OR SERVICES; OR (III) FOR DELAYS IN DELIVERY, OR FOR ANY FAILURE BY ANY VENDOR, PRODUCT OR SERVICE PROVIDER OR SUPPLIER TO HONOR THE APPLICABLE DISCOUNT OR OTHER TERMS OF ANY OFFER.

If You do encounter a problem with any discount, product, or service and contact Us, We will always try to assist You in resolving the matter. However, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Our aggregate liability to You for any cause whatsoever, and regardless of the form of action, if any disclaimer of warranty or limitation of liability as described above is otherwise found to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part for any reason, and should We be adjudged in a competent proceeding to be liable, will at all times be limited to the cancellation of Your membership and the lesser of (a) one thousand U.S dollars ($1,000) or (b) the total amount in fees paid by You to Us for Your Program membership preceding the date of the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations on liability, only limitations that are lawful in the applicable jurisdiction will apply to You and Our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
