CORTEX EVOLUTION, LLC

Version Date: September 17, 2022

GENERAL

Cortex Evolution, LLC (the “Company” or “We” or “Us” or “Our”) respects the privacy of all customers and clients (“Participant” or “You” or “Your”), including participants in the Strive Hive self-improvement group and all its associated communications and interactions (collectively, the “Group”). The following Company privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) is designed to inform You, as a customer of the Company and/or participant of the Group, about the types of information that the Company may gather about or collect from You in connection with Your participation. It also is intended to explain the conditions under which the Company uses and discloses that information, and Your rights in relation to that information. Some parts of this Privacy Policy will apply to You only if You are a member of the Group or only if You are a coaching client of the Company, as specified. This Privacy Policy, including Our children’s privacy statement, does not apply to any information You provide to Us or that We may collect offline and/or through other means (for example, at a live event, via telephone, or through the mail). By participating in the Group or any of Our other services, You agree that Your interactions with the Company and the Group, and any dispute over privacy, are governed by this Privacy Policy. We don’t share Your personally identifiable information (“PII”) with anyone except as specified in this Privacy Policy. PII generally includes, but is not limited to, a person’s name, address, email address, phone number, and any other information that is able to identify an individual. We will never sell, barter, or rent Your PII to any third party.

If You have questions about deleting or correcting Your personal data please contact Us at [email protected]. If You make a request, please provide Us with Your full name, username (if applicable), and email address for Your Account.

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AS WELL AS A CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER THAT IMPACTS YOUR RIGHTS FOR DISPUTE RESOLUTION. PLEASE READ THESE SECTIONS CAREFULLY IF YOU LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES.

IF ANY OF THE TERMS OR CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR TERMS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE, OR THE TERMS OF OUR TERMS OF USE (AS FOUND AT https://cortexevolution.com/terms-of-use/) ARE UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, DO NOT VISIT, ACCESS, USE OR PARTICIPATE IN THE GROUP, WEBSITE (cortexevolution.com), PLATFORM OR ANY OF OUR SERVICES.

The Company is hosted in the United States of America and is subject to United States state and federal law. If You are accessing Company services from other jurisdictions, please be advised that You are transferring Your personal information to Us in the United States, and by using Our services, You consent to that transfer and use of Your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You also agree to abide by the applicable laws of applicable states and United States federal law concerning Your use of Our services and Your agreements with Us. Any persons accessing Our services from any jurisdiction with laws or regulations governing the use of the Internet, including personal data collection, use and disclosure, different from those of the jurisdictions mentioned above may only use Our services in a manner lawful in their jurisdiction. If Your use of Our services would be unlawful in Your jurisdiction, please do not use Our services.

Changes to this Privacy Policy, as may occasionally be necessitated, are discussed at the end of this document. Each time You interact with the Company or participate in the Group in any way, the current version of this Privacy Policy will apply. Accordingly, each time You use any of Our services, You should check the date of this Privacy Policy (which appears at the beginning of this document) and review any changes since the last time You used Our services.

CHILDREN PRIVACY

By using Our services, You represent and warrant that You have attained the age of majority where You reside (18 years of age in most jurisdictions) and are otherwise capable of entering into binding contracts including this Agreement. If You enter a birth date or other indication that You are not old enough to own a Cortex Evolution account or a Strive Hive account, Your account may be disabled. Persons who are at least 13 years of age (or 16 years of age in the European Union “EU”) but under the age of majority may only use Our coaching services after receiving legal parental or guardian consent from someone legally qualified to do so.

In the Group, We do not allow the participation of minors. By participating in the Group, You certify that You are at least 18 years old.

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) protects the online privacy of children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly solicit, collect, maintain, or distribute PII from anyone under the age of 13, unless or except as permitted by law. We will not knowingly link to any third-party website or platform that solicits or collects PII from minors. Any person providing PII through the Group is screened to ensure they are of the appropriate age, and thus represents to Us that he or she is 18 years of age or older. If We learn that PII has been collected from a Participant under 18 years of age on or through the Group, then We will take the appropriate steps to cause this information to be promptly deleted. If You are the parent or legal guardian of a child under 18 who has become a member of the Group or has otherwise transferred PII to the Group, please contact the Company using Our contact information below to have that child’s Account terminated and information deleted.

BY PARTICIPATING IN THE GROUP OR USING ANY OF OUR SERVICES, YOU ARE ACCEPTING ALL OF THE PRACTICES DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.

GATHERING, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF NON-PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION

“Non-Personally-Identifying Information” is information that, without the aid of additional information, cannot be directly associated with a specific person. “Personally-Identifying Information,” by contrast, is information such as a name or email address that, without more, can be directly associated with a specific person.

Web Beacons and Cookies

A “Web Beacon” is an object that is embedded in a web page or email that is usually invisible to the Participant and allows Company operators to check whether a Participant has viewed a particular web page or an email. Web Beacons are not used to access Participants’ PII. Web Beacons collect only a limited set of information, including time and date of a page or email view and a description of the page or email on which the Web Beacon resides. The Company may use Web Beacons in emails to know if/when Participants have viewed emails or to allow Us to count users who have visited certain web pages and to generate statistics about how Our site is used. You may not decline Web Beacons. However, they can be rendered ineffective by declining all web cookies or modifying Your browser setting to notify You each time a web cookie is tendered, permitting You to accept or decline web cookies on an individual basis.

The Company does not currently employ its own web cookies on its website, cortexevolution.com (“Website”), but may at a future date. However, We may use third-party services such as Google Analytics to help understand use of the services. These services typically collect the information sent by Your browser as part of a web page request, including Cookies and Your IP address. They receive this information and their use of it is governed by their respective privacy policies. You may opt-out of Google Analytics for Display Advertisers including AdWords and opt-out of customized Google Display Network ads by visiting the Google Ads Preferences Manager here https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated?hl=en. To provide website visitors more choice on how their data is collected by Google Analytics, Google has developed an Opt-out Browser add-on, which is available by visiting Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. For additional information on how Google uses data when You use Google partners’ sites or apps, go to: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Ultimately, however, We cannot control the use of Cookies by third parties (or the resulting information), and use of third party Cookies is not covered by this policy.

Some web browsers may give You the ability to enable a “do not track” feature that sends signals to the websites You visit, indicating that You do not want Your online activities tracked. This is different than blocking or deleting Cookies, as browsers with a “do not track” feature enabled may still accept Cookies. There currently is no accepted standard for how to respond to this signal, and We do not take any action in response to this signal.

Aggregated and Non-Personally-Identifying Information

You agree that We may extract and use information You disclose for the purposes of aggregating data in a non-identifiable method. This aggregated data may be used to improve Our services or, without limitation, to develop, analyze, combine, or publish the aggregated data for commercial purposes.

COLLECTION, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION

As defined above, PII is information that can be directly associated with a specific person. In order to serve You, the Company may collect a range of PII from and about Company customers, including You. We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties Your PII, except for the absolutely necessary Company Disclosures described below.

Much of the PII collected by the Company about Participants is information provided by Participants themselves when (1) registering for Our services, (2) logging in with social network credentials, (3) participating in polls, contests, surveys or other features of Our services, or responding to offers or advertisements, (4) communicating with us, (5) creating a profile, (6) applying to teach a class, or (7) signing up to receive newsletters or other content. That information may include each Participant’s name, address, email address and telephone number, and, if You transact business with us, financial information such as Your payment method (valid credit card number, type, expiration date, billing address, or other financial information). We also may request information about Your interests, goals, and activities, Your gender, age, date of birth, and other demographic or relevant information as determined by the Company from time to time. Participants are under no obligation to provide the Company with PII of any kind, with the caveat that a Participant’s refusal to do so may prevent the Participant from using certain Group features or Company services.

Other types of PII that We may collect include:

– Device Information: When You use Our services through Your computer, mobile phone or other device, We may collect information regarding and related to Your device, such as hardware models and IDs, device type, operating system version, the request type, the content of Your request and basic usage information about Your use of Our services, such as date and time. In addition, We may collect information regarding application-level events and associate that with Your Account to provide customer service. We may also collect and store information locally on Your device using mechanisms such as browser web storage and application data caches.

– Location Information: When You use the services, We may collect Your precise location data. We may also derive Your approximate location from Your IP address.

– Call and SMS Data: In connection with providing service, We may receive call data, including the date and time of the call or SMS message, the parties phone numbers, and the content of the SMS message. You consent to the receipt, collection and storage of this information.

In order to participate in the Group or certain other Company services, You will need to set up an account with Us (an “Account”) and provide certain identifying information that will be linked to Your Account, including Your name, time zone, email address, and phone number. We encourage You to exercise caution and prudence before voluntarily disclosing any other types of PII about Yourself. We prohibit You from disclosing any PII about another person, whether or not they are an Account holder.

In order to protect Your privacy and create a community environment that encourages sharing, vulnerability, and openness, We prohibit Participants from recording, in any manner and under any circumstances, interactions with other Participants or with the Group.

BY REGISTERING WITH OR PARTICIPATING IN THE GROUP OR ANY OTHER COMPANY SERVICE, YOU EXPRESSLY CONSENT TO THE USE AND DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PII AS DESCRIBED IN THIS “COLLECTION, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION” SECTION.

General Use

The Company uses the PII in the file We maintain about You, and other information We obtain from Your current and past activities with the Company (1) to deliver the products and services that You have requested, including algorithmically pairing You with other Participants based on the information You provided; (2) to manage Your Account and provide You with customer support; (3) to develop content tailored to Your interests; (4) to resolve disputes and troubleshoot problems; (5) to measure consumer interest in Our services; (6) to inform You of updates; (7) to customize Your experience; (8) to promote products or services relevant to the Group and other Company services; (9) to detect and protect Us against error, fraud and other criminal activity; (10) to enforce the Group’s Community Guidelines; and (11) to do as otherwise described to You at the time of collection. At times, We may look across multiple Participants to identify problems. In particular, We may examine Your PII to identify Participants using multiple Participant IDs or aliases. We may compare and review Your PII for accuracy and to detect errors and omissions. We may use financial information or payment method to process payment for any purchases made to the Company, enroll You in the discount, rebate, and other programs in which You elect to participate, to protect against or identify possible fraudulent transactions and otherwise as needed to manage Our business.

Company Communications

Depending on what you have opted to receive, We may occasionally use Your name and email address to send You notifications regarding new content or offers from the Company that We think You may find valuable, including Group updates, “Ask a Neuroscientist” answers and guidance, or custom brain coaching offers and discounts. If you sign up for a free consultation, You will be automatically subscribed to these mailing lists using the email address You provided when you signed up. We may also send You service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. If You join the Group, We will contact You via email to provide You with Your partner(s) information and important information to help You succeed in the Group. Generally, You may opt out of promotional and/or informational emails by choosing Your preference at the time You register for Our services, by contacting Us at any time at [email protected] to unsubscribe or change your preferences, or by clicking the “Unsubscribe” option present in the footer of Our emails at any time. However, We reserve the right to send You (1) notices about Your Account, such as service announcements and administrative messages, (2) requests for brief input about Your satisfaction with the Group, Your partner(s), and other Company services, (3) important announcements, and (4) direct requests for information and communication as needed to resolve any issues or complaints related to Your degree or manner of participation in the Group or Our other Services. We will not contact You by any means other than email unless You consistently fail to respond in a timely manner to emails requiring a response, in which case We may attempt to contact You by other means. If You no longer desire to receive ANY communications from Us, please email Us at [email protected] to request complete termination of Your Account.

Feedback & Support

If You send Us a question, suggestion, or support request (via email, contact forms on Our Website, or other feedback channels), We will generally reply to You by email within two (2) business days. After We reply, We will keep the PII and any other personal data that You submitted along with Your request for one (1) month since the date of last activity in case follow-ups are needed. This data includes the IP-address from which the request was made, to avoid misuse of Our forms and communication channels. After one (1) month of inactivity, all data uniquely gathered from Your request will be deleted.

If You send Us a question, suggestion, or support request, We reserve the right to publish it (stripped of all PII) in order to help Us clarify or respond to Your request or to help Us support other users (e.g., create FAQs).

We may provide technical support to service Your Account. To do so, We may use certain PII to access Your Account for the purpose of troubleshooting, revising, running tests, and/or otherwise providing support. In the process, We may potentially see other PII viewable on Your Account pages. Any information We encounter in the process of providing support will be safeguarded with the same security and protection standards as all other personal information.

Company Disclosures

We take reasonable measures to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potential PII. The Company discloses potential PII only on as needed (or required) as follows:

● By participating in the Group, if You so choose, You elect to be matched with other members of the Group, who will become Your “Improvement Partner(s)”. We will share Your contact information (name, email, and time zone) and other important information You provide when You register for an Account with Your Improvement Partner(s) to whatever extent You do not expressly object during Your registration. At any time, You may email Us at [email protected] to update Your information sharing preferences. We will also share Your Improvement Partner(s) contact and other information with You.

● To Our employees or external contractors that: (a) need to know the information in order to process it on Our behalf or to service the Company or its assets; and (b) that have expressly agreed not to disclose it to others. Note: Some of those employees, and contractors may be located outside of Your home country; by using Our services, You consent to the transfer of such information to them.

● By Law or to Protect Rights. When We believe disclosure is appropriate, We may disclose PII in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing; to protect and defend the rights, property or safety of the Company, Our Participants (including You), Our employees or others; to comply with applicable law or cooperate with law enforcement; to enforce Our Terms of Use or other agreements or policies, in response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government agency; to establish or exercise Our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases, We may raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us.

● Third-Party Service Providers. We may share Your PII, which may include Your name and contact information (including email address) with Our authorized service providers that perform certain services on Our behalf. These services may include, but are not limited to, fulfilling orders, providing customer service and marketing assistance, performing business and sales analysis, supporting the Company’s functionality and supporting contests, sweepstakes, surveys and other features offered through the Company. We may also share Your name, contact information and credit card information with Our authorized service providers who process credit card payments. These service providers may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions but are not permitted to share or use such information for any other purpose. See Our “Third Party Service Provider Terms” below for more detailed information.

● Business Transfers; Bankruptcy. The Company reserves the right to transfer all PII and non-personally identifying information and data in its possession to a successor organization in the event of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy or other sale of all or a portion of the Company’s assets. Other than to the extent ordered by a bankruptcy or other court, the use and disclosure of all transferred PII and non-personally identifying information and data will be subject to this Privacy Policy, or to a new privacy policy if a new privacy policy is posted. PII submitted or collected after a transfer, however, will be subject to a new privacy policy adopted by the successor organization.

Changing Personally-Identifying Information; Account Termination

You may at any time review, change, or delete Your PII by going to Your Account settings (if applicable) or contacting Us using the contact information below. If You request it, We will deactivate or delete Your Account and contact information from Our active databases. Such information will be deactivated or deleted as soon as practicable based on Your Account activity and in accordance with Our deactivation policy and applicable law. We will retain in Our files any PII necessary to prevent fraud, to troubleshoot problems, to assist with any investigations, to enforce Our Terms of Use and to comply with legal requirements as is permitted by law. Therefore, You should not expect that all of Your PII will be completely removed from Our databases in response to Your requests.

Additional Information for International Users

If You participate in the Group or other Company services from outside the United States, please be aware that You are sending information (including PII) to the United States where the servers We rely on are located. Depending on the type of information and its storage method, this information may be transferred within the United States or out of the United States to other countries outside of Your country of residence. These countries (including the United States) may not have data protection laws as comprehensive or protective as those in Your country of residence. However, Our collection, storage, and use of Your PII will at all times be governed by this Privacy Policy.

European Union Users

If You are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), You have certain data protection rights, which include the following in certain circumstances:

● Right to Rectification – You have the right to request that the Company correct any information You believe is inaccurate. You also have the right to request the Company to complete information You believe is incomplete.

If You are a Group Participant, in order to service You as a member of this Group, the Company retains some of Your personal information on Google Drive, in Mailchimp, and on employee personal computers for the duration of Your time in the Group, and some of Your information is stored indefinitely following the termination of Your participation in the Group, unless You elect otherwise. If You are a coaching client, the Company retains some of Your personal information on the Acuity Scheduling platform, in Mailchimp, and on employee personal computers for the duration of your participation, and some of Your information is stored indefinitely following the termination of your participation, unless You elect otherwise.

If You would like to exercise any of the above-listed rights, review Your personal data or would like Us to delete Your personal data, please email Us at: [email protected].

To prevent Us from storing Your data, to review or change Your stored data, or to delete Your stored data, please include Your full name, username (if applicable) and email address for Your Account, and a statement that You do not want Us to store Your information or that You want to review or change Your information that We have stored.

Please allow up to four (4) weeks to process Your request from the date of receipt. If We cannot honor Your request within the four (4)-week period, We will tell You when We will be able to provide access. In the unlikely event that We cannot provide You access to Your information, We will provide an explanation as to why We cannot do so.

Please note that any changes You make will be reflected in Our active user database within a reasonable time; however, We may retain information You submit for backups, archiving, prevention of fraud, to satisfy legal obligations, or other needs that would reasonably be considered legitimate reasons to do so.

Further, You acknowledge that any information that We collect and store, for the limited purposes outlined above in this Privacy Policy, will be collected and stored outside of the EEA. For avoidance of confusion, references to “PII” in this policy are equivalent to what is commonly referred to as “personal data” in the EEA.

By checking the box to agree to Our terms and conditions, including this Privacy Policy, You consent to the collection, use, disclosure, and processing of Your PII in the manner described in this Privacy Policy, including Our procedures related to cookies and IP addresses. We store data about or from You in the US. You understand that the US does not have the same level of protection for PII that exists in other countries. Your consent is voluntary, and You may revoke Your consent by opting out at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” button in the footer of Our emails and/or by emailing Us a more detailed request as described above. If You choose to opt out, We can no longer provide You with access to certain parts or all of Our services, depending on the extent of Your opt-out.

CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits Our Participants who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about the PII (if any) We disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. If applicable, this information would include a list of the categories of the PII that was shared and the names and addresses of all third parties with which We shared PII in the immediately preceding calendar year.

The Company does not sell, rent, or barter Your personal information and will not do so in the future without providing You with notice and an opportunity to opt-out of such sale as required by law. We also do not offer financial incentives associated with Our collection, use, or disclosure of Your personal information.

In order to service You as a Participant, the Company retains some of Your personal information. Your personal financial information is stored with third parties. If You would like to review Your personal data or would like Us to delete Your personal data, please contact Us at: [email protected]

To prevent Us from storing Your data, or to review Your stored data, or to delete Your stored data, please include Your full name, username (if applicable) and email address for Your Account, and a statement that You do not want Us to store Your information or that You want to review Your information that We have stored. You may also specify what information You do not want Us to store or what information You want to review or what information You want Us to delete. Please allow up to four (4) weeks to process Your request from the date of receipt. If We cannot honor Your request within the four-week period, We will tell You when We will be able to provide access. In the unlikely event that We cannot provide You access to Your information, We will provide explanation as to why We cannot do so.

Please note that any changes You make will be reflected in Our active user database within a reasonable time, however We may retain information You submit for backups, archiving, prevention of fraud, to satisfy legal obligations, or other needs that would reasonably be considered legitimate reasons to do so.

NEVADA PRIVACY RIGHTS

Nevada Privacy of Information Collected on the Internet from Consumers Act (NPICICA) allows Nevada residents the option to opt-out of the sale of certain “covered information” that is collected by websites and online services. The Company does not sell covered information, as defined by the NPICICA.

However, if You would like to be notified if We decide in the future to sell personal information covered by NPICICA, please contact Us at [email protected] and provide Your full name, the Company username (if applicable), and email address for Your Account. You are responsible for updating Your email address for this purpose and We are not obligated to cross-reference other email addresses You have provided for other purposes. We will contact You only at the email address provided under this section if Our plans change.

SECURITY

We take the security of Your PII seriously and use reasonable electronic, personnel and physical measures to protect it from loss, theft, alteration or misuse. However, please be advised that even the best security measures cannot fully eliminate all risks. We cannot guarantee that only authorized persons will view Your information. We are not responsible for third-party circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures.

We are dedicated to protect all information associated with Your use of Our services. You can help maintain the confidentiality of Your PII by always using a secure internet connection.

SOCIAL MEDIA AND OTHER PUBLIC SHARING

Our services may now or in the future integrate with social sharing features and other related tools which let You share actions You take on Our services with other Apps, sites, or media, and vice versa. Your use of such features enables the sharing of information with Your friends or the public, depending on the settings You establish with the social sharing service. Please refer to the privacy policies of those social sharing services for more information about how they handle the data You provide to or share through them.

Any information or content that You voluntarily disclose for posting publicly to a social sharing service becomes available to the public, as controlled by any applicable privacy settings that You set with the social sharing service. Once You have shared User Content or made it public, that User Content may be re-shared by others. If You remove information that You posted to the social sharing service, copies may still remain viewable in cached and archived pages, or if other users or third parties, using the social sharing service, have re-shared, copied or saved that User Content.

If You share User Content or post a comment or message that contains personally identifiable information to a page on Our services that is accessible to the public, third parties may use that information, or share it with other parties. As a result, You may receive unsolicited messages from other parties. Such User Content, comments or messages is not subject to this Privacy Policy and You share this information at Your own risk.

You will need to contact Cortex Evolution in the event that You wish to have this personally identifiable information removed from Our service. Please note that responding to Your request may not ensure complete or comprehensive removal from the internet if the content or information has been reposted by another party. To request removal of content or information, please contact Us at [email protected].

COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION BY THIRD PARTIES GENERALLY

The Company contractually prohibits its contractors, affiliates, vendors and suppliers from disclosing PII received from the Company, other than in accordance with this Privacy Policy. However, third parties are under no obligation to comply with this Privacy Policy with respect to PII that Participants provide directly to those third parties, or that those third parties collect for themselves. These third parties include advertisers, providers of games, utilities, widgets, analytics, and a variety of other third-party applications accessible through the Group, Our Website, and Our other services. The Company neither owns nor controls these third-party groups and applications. Thus, this Privacy Policy does not apply to information provided to or gathered by the third parties that operate them. Before visiting a third party, or using a third-party application, whether by means of a link on Our Company or Group websites, directly through the Group or coaching activities, or otherwise, and before providing any PII to any such third party, Participants should inform themselves of the privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party responsible for that group or application, and should take those steps necessary to, in those Participants’ discretion, protect their privacy.

Governing Law

This Privacy Policy is governed by Utah law.

BINDING ARBITRATION OF CLAIMS

In the event there is an issue, We want to make the resolution process as quick and efficient as possible. You agree to first discuss the issue informally with Us for at least thirty (30) days. To do so, please send Your full name, username (if applicable) and email address associated with Your Account, Your concern, and Your proposed solution by email to [email protected]. If We would like to discuss an issue with You, We will contact You using the email address You provided in association with Your Account.

If We do not reach an agreed-upon solution after discussions for at least 30 days, You agree that any and all claims that either of Us may have arising out of or relating to: (1) this Privacy Policy, Our Terms of Use, Our Coaching Agreement, or Our Group’s Community Guidelines, (including formation, performance, or breach of the terms, and including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision), (2) any aspect of Our relationship with each other; and (3) use of the Group or any other services provided by the Company must be resolved through binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or an otherwise mutually agreed upon arbitration provider.

The Company shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special, or consequential damages or any damages whatsoever including, without limitation, damages for loss of use, data, or profits, arising out of or in any way connected with the content and use or performance of the Group or other Company services, or for any content, software, products and services made available or obtained through the Group or the Company, or their associated services or products, whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability or otherwise.

Any services or content made available or obtained through the use of the Company services and all other use of the Company services is done at Your own discretion and risk and You will be solely responsible for any damages, including, but not limited to, Your computer system or loss of data that results therefrom.

Each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees and costs arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the arbitrator and AAA (or the mutually agreed upon arbitration provider); however, the arbitrator may award the prevailing party reimbursement of its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and/or other fees and costs of the arbitrator.

The arbitrator shall issue a written award within fifteen (15) days after the conclusion of arbitration which describes the material factual findings and conclusions that the award is based upon, including the calculation of damages awarded. Each party shall fully perform and satisfy the arbitration award within fifteen (15) days of the award being issued. Judgment of the award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction.
