You agree to fully indemnify, defend, and hold the Renotive Entities and their directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents, and other representatives, harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees), and other expenses that arise directly or indirectly out of or from:

10. Dispute Resolution & Governing Law

This section describes Renotive's dispute resolution procedures. You agree to notify us of any dispute with Renotive and first attempt to resolve it informally under the process outlined below. If that does not work, the dispute will be decided through arbitration, not in court.

  1. Binding Arbitration. You and Renotive agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, our Privacy Policy, or to your use of the Renotive Platform (collectively "Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions detailed in this Section 10. This means that you and Renotive both agree to waive the right to a trial by jury.

  2. Exceptions to Arbitration. Each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring a claim against Renotive in "small claims" court, instead of by arbitration, but only if the claim is eligible under the rules of the small claims court and is brought in an individual, non-class, and non-representative basis, and only for so long as it remains in the small claims court and in an individual, non-class, and non-representative basis.

  3. Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution. If you have a Dispute with Renotive, prior to filing any claim in any forum, you agree to first send a detailed notice ("Notice") to Renotive by:

    1. Email at legal@renotive.com and

    2. First class, certified mail addressed to Renotive Inc., Legal Department, 612 Lexington Ave, Suite 1, Brooklyn, NY 11221.

Your Notice must contain all of the following information:

  1. Your full name;

  2. Your address, telephone number, and email address associated with your Renotive account;

  3. Information sufficient for Renotive to identify any transaction, product, or service at issue (e.g., order confirmation, Renotive Pro subscription, etc); 

  4. A detailed description of your Dispute, the nature and basis of your claim(s), and the nature and basis of the relief you are seeking with a calculation for it; and

  5. Your personal signature.

If Renotive has a Dispute with you, Renotive agrees to first send a detailed Notice to your email address listed in your profile or via any other contact information you have made available to us. Renotive's Notice will likewise set forth:

  1. Information sufficient for you to identify any transaction at issue; and

  2. A detailed description of our dispute, the nature, and basis of our claims and any relief we are seeking.

Your Notice must be individualized, meaning it can concern only your dispute and no other person's dispute.

You and Renotive agree to negotiate in good faith about the Dispute in an effort to swiftly resolve it without the need for a formal proceeding. If requested by Renotive, you and Renotive agree to personally meet and confer, via videoconference, in a good-faith effort to resolve any claim covered by this Agreement. For sake of clarification only, this conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party intends to commence individual arbitration; multiple individuals initiating claims cannot participate in the same informal dispute resolution conference, unless mutually agreed by the parties. If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you shall also fully participate in the conference. This process should result in resolution of the Dispute, but, if for some reason it is not resolved within 60 days after receipt of a fully completed Notice and the parties have not agreed to extend this time period, you or Renotive may initiate an arbitration. You and Renotive agree that compliance with and completion of this mandatory informal dispute resolution is a condition precedent to filing any demand for arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in this process. Unless prohibited by applicable law, the arbitration administrator shall not move forward with the administration of any Demand upon written notice from Renotive that the other demanding party has not complied with the informal process. A court shall have the authority to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations without first providing a fully completed Notice and participating in good faith in this informal dispute resolution process.

If we are not able to resolve the Dispute informally, then the below provisions will govern any Dispute.

  1. Class Action Waiver. You and Renotive agree that any proceedings to resolve Disputes will be conducted on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. This means that, in connection with any Dispute, you and Renotive both agree to waive the right to participate as a plaintiff as a class member in any class action proceeding. Further, unless you and Renotive agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator in any Dispute may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class action proceeding.

  2. Arbitration Administration and Rules.  Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your content will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would. 

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA). We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, Renotive will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration 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 county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. 

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Renotive Inc., Legal Department, 612 Lexington Ave, Suite 1, Brooklyn, NY 11221. 

The arbitration will be conducted by the AAA under its rules, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. 

  1. Opt-Out. You have the right to opt out of the arbitration provisions of this agreement. If you do not wish to be subject to arbitration, you must notify us of your decision to opt out within 30 days of the date you first became subject to this agreement. 

To opt out, you must send a written notice to Renotive at the following address: First class, certified mail addressed to Renotive Inc., Legal Department, 612 Lexington Ave, Suite 1, Brooklyn, NY 11221. 

Your opt-out notice must include your full name, address, phone number, and a clear statement that you are opting out of the arbitration provisions in this agreement.

Opting out of arbitration will not affect the other terms of this agreement or your relationship with Renotive. If you do not opt out, the arbitration provisions of this agreement will be binding on you and Renotive as described in the sections above.

Disputes with Other Users. If you have a dispute with another user on the Renotive Platform or with any third party, you agree that Renotive is under no obligation to become involved. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users, you release Renotive, our directors, officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or the Renotive Platform. As part of this release, you expressly waive any protections (whether statutory or otherwise) that would otherwise limit this release to only include those claims that you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.

Governing Law.  These Terms have been made and will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York as an agreement wholly performed in the State of New York without regard to their conflict of law provisions and the United Nations Conventions on Contracts (if applicable).
