Fees, Payment, and Renewal
Some of our Services are offered for a fee. By using a Paid Service or selecting an upgrade, you agree to pay the specified subscription fees. Payments will be charged on a pre-pay basis and cover the use of the service for the applicable subscription period. Depending on the Paid Service, there may be different kinds of fees, such as one-time, recurring, or revenue-based fees.
Your subscription begins on your purchase date, and we’ll bill or charge you in the automatically-renewing interval you select, on a pre-pay basis until you cancel. Unless you notify Fat Tailed Solutions before the end of the applicable subscription period that you wish to cancel, your subscription will automatically renew. You authorize us to collect the then-applicable subscription fee and taxes using any payment method we have on record for you.
You must provide accurate and up-to-date payment information. If your payment fails or Paid Services are not paid for on time, we may cancel or revoke your access to Paid Services without notice. Fat Tailed Solutions does not provide refunds for paid services except as required by law or explicitly stated in the subscription terms.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Fat Tailed Solutions, its contractors, licensors, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all losses, liabilities, demands, damages, costs, claims, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to your use of our Services, including but not limited to your violation of the Agreement, any agreement with a provider of third-party services used in connection with the Services, or applicable law, and any content that you post.
Arbitration Agreement
We both agree to resolve any disputes arising out of these Terms or your use of Fat Tailed Solutions through final and binding arbitration. Arbitration is a less formal procedure than a lawsuit in court, with the goal of resolving disputes more quickly. We both agree to waive our rights to have our claims decided by a judge or jury. Instead, the arbitration shall be finally settled in accordance with the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service, Inc. ("JAMS") by three arbitrators appointed in accordance with the Rules. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you live or work, or any other location we agree to, and shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitrators' decision may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. Fat Tailed Solutions will pay all arbitration fees. The prevailing party shall be entitled to costs and attorneys' fees, but Fat Tailed Solutions will not seek its attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrators determine that your claim is frivolous.
Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate
Claims for injunctive or equitable relief or claims regarding intellectual property rights may be brought in any competent court without the posting of a bond.
No Class Actions
You may resolve disputes with us only on an individual basis; you may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not permitted.
Miscellaneous
The Agreement (together with any other terms we provide that apply to any specific Service) constitutes the entire agreement between Fat Tailed Solutions and you concerning our Services. If any part of the Agreement is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part is severable from the Agreement, and does not affect the validity or enforceability of the rest of the Agreement. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of the Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof.
Fat Tailed Solutions may assign its rights under the Agreement without condition. You may only assign your rights under the Agreement with our prior written consent.
Governing Law
You agree that these Terms, and your use of Fat Tailed Solutions, are governed by California law, in the United States of America, without regard to its principles of conflicts of law.
