Arbitration and Governing Law.
Arbitration Agreement. The exclusive means of resolving any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof), the Website and the Assessments shall be binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under the Consumer Arbitration Rules, and said Arbitration shall be set in Sacramento, California. The one exception to the exclusivity of arbitration is that you have the right to bring an individual claim against Elevate in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction in Sacramento County. But whether you choose arbitration or small-claims court, you may not under any circumstances commence or maintain against Elevate any class action, class arbitration, Personal Attorney General Action (PAGA) or other representative action or proceeding.
Notice of Rights. By using the Website or the Assessments in any manner, you agree to the above Arbitration Agreement. In doing so, you give up your right to go to court to assert or defend any claims between you and Elevate (except for matters that may be taken to small-claims court). You also give up your right to participate in a class action, Private Attorney General Action (PAGA) or other class proceeding. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury, and the arbitrator shall determine all issues regarding the arbitrability of the dispute. The arbitrator can grant any relief that a court can, but you should note that arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. For details on the arbitration process, see Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.
Court Proceedings. Any proceeding to enforce this arbitration agreement, including any proceeding to confirm, modify, or vacate an arbitration award, may be commenced in any court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that this arbitration agreement is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against Elevate (except for small-claims court actions) may be commenced only in the federal or state courts located in Sacramento County, California. You hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes.
Governing Law. This Agreement, and any dispute between you and Elevate, shall be governed by the laws of the state of California without regard to principles of conflicts of law, provided that this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
Indemnity by You. You agree to indemnify and hold Elevate, its subsidiaries, affiliates, and its and their officers, agents, partners and employees, harmless from any loss, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of (a) your breach of or failure to comply with this Agreement (including any breach of your representations and warranties contained herein), (b) any postings or content you post on the Website or the Applications, and (c) the violation of any law or regulation by you. Elevate reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with Elevate in connection therewith.
Notice. Elevate may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to this Agreement, using any reasonable means now known or hereafter developed, including by email, regular mail, SMS, MMS text message or postings on the Website. Such notices may not be received if you violate this Agreement by accessing the Website or the Applications in an unauthorized manner. You agree that you are deemed to have received any and all notices that would have been delivered had you accessed the Website and the Applications in an authorized manner.
Expiration; Suspension; Termination:
We may modify or terminate our services from time to time, for any reason, and without notice, without liability to you, any other user or any third party.
We have the right to take appropriate legal action, including without limitation, referral to law enforcement for any illegal or unauthorized us of the Website or Assessments. We also have the right to cooperate fully with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity or other information of anyone who uses this Website or Assessments.
Without limiting any of the foregoing, due to the nature of the Services Elevate provides, your access to the Website and Assessments will automatically expire at midnight on the thirtieth (30th) day from your initial registration of the Website and Assessments. Please print a copy of your Assessment(s) before the expiration of the thirty (30) days.
Entire Agreement; Other. This Agreement, with the Privacy Policy, contains the entire Agreement between you and Elevate regarding the use of the Website and/or the Assessments. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. There shall be no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement. The failure of Elevate to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. You agree that your 30 day access to the Website and your Assessments is non-transferable and any rights to your Assessments terminate after this time. No agency, partnership, joint venture or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and you may not make any representations or bind Elevate in any manner. If any of these Terms and Conditions are found to be invalid then that provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions, which shall remain fully enforceable. No waiver by us of any terms shall be deemed to be continuing or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other term.
Amendment. We may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them to our Website and apply to all access to and use of the Website and Assessments thereafter. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provision set out in this Agreement will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice on or before the date the change is posted on the Website.
You consent to and agree the provisions set out in the Governing Law and Jurisdiction.
