13. Modifications of Terms

MathPapa may revise the Terms for the Service, including the Privacy Policy, at any time. If we make material changes to the Terms we will notify you via the Service (e.g., by posting a notice on our website or via a Mobile App) indicating that the Terms have been changed. BY CONTINUING TO USE THE SERVICE YOU ARE CONSENTING TO THE REVISED TERMS. If you do not agree with any modifications to the Terms you must cease using the Service.

You also agree that MathPapa may communicate any notices to you under these Terms through electronic mail, regular mail or posting the notices on the Service. All notices to MathPapa must be provided by either sending: (i) an email to legal@mathpapa.com; or (ii) a letter, first class certified mail, to MathPapa Inc., 2627 Hanover Street, Palo Alto, CA 94304, Attention: Legal. Such notices will be deemed delivered upon receipt.

15. Governing Law and Arbitration; No Class Actions

These Terms, and any claim, cause of action or dispute ("claim") arising out of or related to these Terms shall be governed by the laws of the state of California regardless of your country of origin or where you access the Service. ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT, except for MathPapa’s right to seek injunctive relief as set forth below.

If you do not want to arbitrate disputes with MathPapa and you are an individual, you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending an email to legal@mathpapa.com within 30 days of the day you first access or use the Service.

If you intend to seek arbitration you must first send written notice to MathPapa of your intent to arbitrate ("Notice"). The Notice to MathPapa should be sent by any of the following means: (i) electronic mail to legal@mathpapa.com; or (ii) sending the Notice by U.S. Postal Service certified mail to MathPapa Inc., 2627 Hanover Street, Palo Alto, CA 94304, Attention: Legal. The Notice must (x) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (y) set forth the specific relief sought; and (z) set forth your name, address and contact information. If we intend to seek arbitration against you, we will send any notice of dispute to you at the contact information we have for you.

The arbitration will be conducted before a neutral single arbitrator, whose decision will be final and binding, and the arbitral proceedings will be governed by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, Consumer Due Process Protocol, and Supplementary Procedures for Resolution of Consumer Related Disputes, as modified by these Terms. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this arbitration clause, but the arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms. If you initiate arbitration, your arbitration fees will be limited to the filing fee set forth in the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules. We will reimburse all other AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees paid by you, unless the arbitrator determines that the arbitration was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, in which case the payment of all such fees shall be governed by the AAA rules. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. For any claim where the potential award is reasonably likely to be $10,000 or less, either you or MathPapa may elect to have the dispute resolved through non-appearance-based arbitration.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, YOU AND MATHPAPA EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, YOU AND MATHPAPA EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds the foregoing arbitration provisions invalid or inapplicable, you and MathPapa agree that all claims arising out of or related to these Terms must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in San Francisco, California and you and MathPapa each agree to submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating all such claims. Notwithstanding the above, you agree that MathPapa shall still be allowed to apply for and obtain injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.

16. Miscellaneous

If you breach any term of these Terms or other agreement with MathPapa, MathPapa may pursue any legal or equitable remedy available, including but not limited to, direct, consequential, and punitive damages and injunctive relief. MathPapa’s remedies are cumulative and not exclusive. Failure of MathPapa to exercise any remedy or enforce any portion of the Terms at any time shall not operate as a waiver of any remedy or of the right to enforce any portion of the Agreement at any time thereafter. If any provision of the Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. The Terms are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with MathPapa’s prior written consent. We may transfer, assign or delegate the Terms and its rights and obligations without consent. Users of this Service are responsible for compliance with all applicable regulations and laws. No joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship exists between you and MathPapa as a result of these Terms or use of the Service.
