Governing Law and Jurisdiction

All matters relating to the Site, Services, and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), 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 of Use or the Site or Services shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of California, in each case located in the County of San Mateo, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms of Use in your country of residence or any other relevant country. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

We hope we never have a dispute, but if we do, you and we agree to try for 60 days to resolve it informally. If we can’t, you and we agree to binding individual arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), and not to sue in court in front of a judge or jury. Instead, a neutral arbitrator will decide and the arbitrator’s decision will be final except for a limited right of review under the FAA. Class action lawsuits, class-wide arbitrations, private attorney-general actions, and any other proceeding where someone acts in a representative capacity are not allowed. Nor is combining individual proceedings without the consent of all parties.

  • Disputes Covered—Everything Except IP. The term “dispute” is as broad as it can be. It includes any claim or controversy between you and us concerning or arising from the Site, the Site or Services, the accounts you register, or these Terms of Use, under any legal theory including contract, warranty, tort, statute, or regulation, except disputes relating to the enforcement or validity of your, your licensors’, our, or our licensors’ intellectual property rights.
  • Mail a Notice of Dispute First. If you have a dispute and our Company representatives can’t resolve it, send a Notice of Dispute by U.S. Mail to Tenbound Inc, 152 Alexander Ave, Daly City, CA 94014. The Notice must: (a) include your name, address, how to contact you, (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. We’ll do the same if we have a dispute with you. After 60 days, you or we may start an arbitration if the dispute is unresolved.
  • Waiver of Rights to Class Actions and Representative Actions. YOU AND TENBOUND AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. Further, unless both you and Tenbound agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific proviso is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.
  • Arbitration Procedure. The AAA will conduct any arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (or if you are an individual and use the Site or Services for personal or household use, or if the value of the dispute is $75,000 or less whether or not you are an individual or how you use the Services, its Consumer Arbitration Rules). For more information, see www.adr.org or call 1-800-778-7879. To start an arbitration, submit a Notice of Dispute to the AAA and mail a copy to us. In a dispute involving $25,000 or less, any hearing will be telephonic unless the arbitrator finds good cause to hold an in-person hearing instead. Unless Tenbound and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in San Mateo County, California. The arbitrator may award the same damages to you individually as a court could. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only to you individually to satisfy your individual claim. Under AAA Rules, the arbitrator rules on his or her own jurisdiction, including the arbitrability of any claim. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision; but a court has exclusive authority to enforce the prohibition on arbitration on a class-wide basis or in a representative capacity. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator may award declaratory 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.
  • Arbitration Fees and Payments.The AAA rules will govern payment of filing fees and the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses, unless otherwise required by law.
  • Conflict with AAA Rules. These Terms govern to the extent they conflict with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules or Consumer Arbitration Rules.
  • Severability. If any part of this section regarding Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable, the remainder will remain in effect (with an arbitration award issued before any court proceeding begins), except that if a finding of partial illegality or unenforceability would allow class-wide or representative arbitration, this section will be unenforceable in its entirety.
  • Changes to Arbitration Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Use to the contrary, we agree that if Tenbound makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Notice Address) during the term of these Terms of Use, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you’re agreeing that you’ll arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with this provision.
  • Opt-Out Procedures: You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending a letter to a Notice of Opt-Out to the Address referenced above, and providing each of the following pieces of information: (a) your full name; (b) your address; (c) your phone number; (d) the URL where you found this agreement; and (e) a clear statement that you wish to opt out of this arbitration provision.This opt-out notice must be emailed no later than 30 days after the date you first accept these Terms of Use.

Waiver and Severability

No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use 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 the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Use 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 the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement

The Terms of Use, Terms Applicable to Tenbound Plus Members,  and our Privacy Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Tenbound regarding the Site and its Services, and they supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Site and/or Services.
