Infringing activity will not be tolerated on or through the Services.

SURF will terminate the Accounts of users that are determined by SURF to be repeat infringers. SURF reserves the right, however, to suspend or terminate Accounts of users in its sole discretion. If you believe that any Content accessible via the Services infringes your intellectual property rights, please contact SURF at hello@surfside.io with a description of the alleged infringement.

17. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

17.1 Generally. Except as described below, you and SURF agree that every dispute arising in connection with the Agreement, the Services, or communications from SURF will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. The agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of the Agreement. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THE AGREEMENT, YOU AND SURF ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

17.2 Exceptions. Although the parties are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes, nothing in the Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

17.3 Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this section within thirty (30) days after the date that you agree to the Agreement by sending a written notice to SURF at hello@surfside.io that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your Account on the Services, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once SURF receives your Opt-Out Notice, this section will be void and any action arising out of the Agreement will be resolved in accordance with the General Provisions section below. The remaining provisions of the Agreement will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.

17.4 Arbitrator. This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between the parties, is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by the Agreement. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at +1-800-778-7879, or by contacting SURF.

17.5 Commencing Arbitration. Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). SURF’s address for Notice is: Surfside Solutions Inc., 64 Wooster St, Floor 2, New York, NY 10012. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) identify the name or Account number of the party making the claim; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or SURF may commence an arbitration proceeding.

17.6 Arbitration Proceedings. Any arbitration hearing will take place in New York, New York, unless the parties agree otherwise. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.

17.7 Arbitration Relief. The arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (a) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or (b) if the arbitrator’s award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator’s application or conclusions of law. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

17.8 No Class Actions. YOU AND SURF 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. Further, unless both you and SURF 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.

17.9 Modifications to Arbitration Provision. If SURF makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may reject the change by sending written notice within thirty (30) days of the change to SURF’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your Account with SURF will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected, will survive.

17.10 Enforceability. If the No Class Actions provision above or the entirety of this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration section is found to be unenforceable, or if SURF receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration section will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in the General Provisions section below will govern any action arising out of or related to the Agreement.

18. General Provisions

18.1 Governing Law. These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles. You and SURF submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within New York, New York for resolution of any lawsuit or court proceeding permitted under these Terms of Use.

18.2 Assignment. The Agreement, and your rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated or otherwise transferred by you without SURF’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.

18.3 Force Majeure.

Communication with you (including your Authorized Users) will often take place via an email to the contact email address registered to your account. You must ensure that your email address is current and that you do not filter out any such messages. In the event that the last e-mail address you provided to SURF is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required / permitted by the Agreement, SURF’s dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You may give notice to SURF at the following e-mail address: hello@surfside.io.

18.5 Waiver. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of the Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.

18.6 Severability. If any portion of the Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intention of the parties, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.

18.7 Export Control. You may not use, export, import, or transfer any Services except as authorized by U.S. law, the laws of the jurisdiction in which you obtained the Services, and any other applicable laws.
