‍Trala Properties may contain links to third-party websites (“Third-Party Websites”) and applications (“Third-Party Applications”) and advertisements for third parties (“Third-Party Ads”). When you click on a link to a Third-Party Website, Third-Party Application or Third-Party Ad, we will not warn you that you have left Trala Properties and are subject to the terms and conditions (including privacy policies) of another website or destination.

‍8.2 App Stores.
‍You acknowledge and agree that the availability of the Application and the Services is dependent on the third party from whom you received the Application license, e.g., the Apple App Store (“App Store”). Note that we do not guarantee the Application will be available in any specific App Store. You acknowledge that the Terms are between you and Trala and not with the App Store. Trala, not the App Store, is solely responsible for Trala Properties, including the Application, the content thereof, maintenance, support services, and warranty therefor, and addressing any claims relating thereto (e.g., product liability, legal compliance or intellectual property infringement). In order to use the Application, you must have access to a wireless network, and you agree to pay all fees associated with such access. You also agree to pay all fees (if any) charged by the App Store in connection with Trala Properties, including the Application. You agree to comply with, and your license to use the Application is conditioned upon your compliance with, all applicable third-party terms of agreement (e.g., the App Store’s terms and policies) when using Trala Properties, including the Application. You acknowledge that the App Store (and its subsidiaries) are third-party beneficiaries of the Terms and will have the right to enforce them.

‍9. Fees and Purchase Terms.
9.1 Payment.
‍You can become a subscriber to the Services by purchasing a subscription through the App Store you used to download the Application. Please note that if you purchase a subscription through the App Store, the sale is final, and we will not provide a refund. Your purchase will be subject to the App Store’s applicable payment policy, which also may not provide for refunds.
‍
‍9.2 Service Subscription Fees.
‍You are responsible for payment of the applicable fee for any Services (each, a “Service Subscription Fee”) at the time you select your subscription package (each, a “Service Commencement Date”). Except as set forth in the Terms, all fees for the Services are non-refundable. No contract will exist between you and Trala for the Services until Trala accepts your order by a confirmatory email, or other appropriate means of communication.

‍9.3 Taxes.
‍Trala’s fees are net of any applicable Sales Tax. If any Services, or payments for any Services, under the Terms are subject to Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to Trala, you will be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and you will indemnify Trala for any liability or expense we may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon our request, you will provide us with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes. For purposes of this section, “Sales Tax” shall mean any sales or use tax, and any other tax measured by sales proceeds, that Trala is permitted to pass to its customers, that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.

‍9.4 Automatic Renewal.
‍Your subscription will continue indefinitely until terminated in accordance with the Terms. After your initial subscription period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically commence on the first day following the end of such period (each a “Renewal Commencement Date”) and continue for an additional equivalent period, at Trala’s then-current price for such subscription. You agree that you will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless you cancel your subscription in accordance with the instructions provided by the App Store from which you downloaded the Application (for example, you can manage your Apple App Store subscription at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039). Except as otherwise provided by the applicable App Store terms of use, if you cancel your subscription, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period. Upon renewal of your subscription, if Trala does not receive payment from your payment provider through the App Store as described herein, you agree that Trala may either terminate or suspend your subscription, and continue to attempt to charge your payment provider until payment is received (upon receipt of payment through the App Store, your subscription will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received).

‍9.5. Free Trials and Other Promotions.
‍Any free trial or other promotion that provides access to the Services at no charge must be used within the specified time of the trial. At the end of the trial period, your use of that Service will expire and any further use of the Service is prohibited unless you pay the applicable subscription fee.

‍10. Indemnification.
‍You agree to indemnify and hold Trala, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners and licensors (collectively, the “Trala Parties”) harmless from any losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of: (a) Your Content; (b) your use of, or inability to use, Trala Properties; (c) your violation of the Terms; (d) your violation of any rights of another party, including any users; or (e) your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. Trala reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with Trala in asserting any available defenses. This provision does not require you to indemnify any of the Trala Parties for any unconscionable commercial practice by such party or for such party’s fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with the Website or any Services provided hereunder. You agree that the provisions in this section will survive any termination of your subcription, the Terms or your access to Trala Properties.

‍15.2 Termination of Services by Trala.
‍You may cancel the Service in accordance with Section 9.4. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable App Store terms of use, the Service Subscription Fee for any Service shall be non-refundable. If timely payment cannot be charged to your Payment Provider for any reason, if you have materially breached any provision of the Terms, or if Trala is required to do so by law (e.g., where the provision of the Website, the Application, or the Services is, or becomes, unlawful), Trala has the right to, immediately and without notice, suspend or terminate any Services provided to you.

‍15.3 Termination of Services by You.
‍If you want to terminate the Services provided by Trala, you may do so by terminating your subscription for all of the Services that you use.

‍Termination of any Service includes removal of access to such Service and barring of further use of the Service. Upon termination of any Service, your right to use such Service will automatically terminate immediately. You understand that any termination of Services may involve, but does not require, deletion of Your Content associated therewith from our live databases. Note, however, that any Pieces you uploaded to public forums may continue to be made available to other Trala users. Trala will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any suspension or termination, including for deletion of Your Content. All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive, shall survive termination of Services, including without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitation of liability.

‍15.5 No Subsequent Registration.
‍If your registration(s) with or ability to access Trala Properties, or any other Trala community is discontinued by Trala due to your violation of any portion of the Terms or for conduct otherwise inappropriate for the community, then you agree that you shall not attempt to re-register with or access Trala Properties or any Trala community through use of a different member name or otherwise, and you acknowledge that you will not be entitled to receive a refund for fees related to those Trala Properties to which your access has been terminated.

‍17. Dispute Resolution. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Trala and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

17.1 Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.
‍You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Website, to any products sold or distributed through the Website, or to any aspect of your relationship with Trala, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; and (2) you or Trala may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.

IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH TRALA, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST TRALA ALLEGING CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS ON YOUR BEHALF. INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST THE TRALA IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT YOU MAY CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN DECIDING WHETHER TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

17.2 Arbitration Rules and Forum.
‍The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to legal@trala.com or 222 W Merchandise Mart Plaza, Ste. 1212 Trala, Chicago IL, 60654. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, Trala will pay them for you. In addition, Trala will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, Trala 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 country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

‍17.3 Authority of Arbitrator.
‍The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Trala. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.

‍17.4 Waiver of Jury Trial.
‍YOU AND TRALA HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Trala are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 17.1 above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

‍17.5 Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions.
‍ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) representative action for public injunctive relief may be arbitrated on a class basis and (b) in the event that the foregoing sentence is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular class or dispute for recovery of damages, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration and instead claims and disputes shall be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 18.7.

‍17.6 30-Day Right to Opt Out.
‍You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following email address: legal@trala.com, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your Trala username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Trala subscription (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.

‍17.7 Severability.
‍If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

The foregoing release does not apply to any claims, demands, or any losses, damages, rights and actions of any kind, including personal injuries, death or property damage for any unconscionable commercial practice by a Trala Party or for such party’s fraud, deception, false, promise, misrepresentation or concealment, suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with the Website or any Services provided hereunder.

‍18.7 Governing Law.
‍The Terms and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of CALIFORNIA consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

‍18.8 Notice.
‍Where Trala requires that you provide an email address, you are responsible for providing Trala with your most current email address. In the event that the last email address you provided to Trala is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required/ permitted by the Terms, Trala’s dispatch of the email containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You may give notice to Trala at the following email address: legal@trala.com. Such notice shall be deemed given when received by Trala by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail at the above address.

‍18.9 Waiver.
‍Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of the Terms on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
