This site and the mobile applications and services available in connection with this site and mobile application (the "App," and our "Services") are made available to you by Kidsanity LLC, a limited liability company registered in California, United States of America. The "Powderline" brand (and to whom these Terms apply) is made up of different legal entities including Powderline, Powderline Pod, Powderline Shred, Powderline Perks and Kidsanity LLC. These Terms are issued on behalf of the Powderline group of companies so when we mention "Powderline", "we", "us" or "our" in these Terms, we are referring to the relevant company in the Powderline group of companies responsible for providing the Services to you, and these Terms form a binding contract between you and the relevant company. Your use of the Services in any way means that you agree to all of these Terms, and these Terms will remain in effect while you use the Services.
The Services are intended solely for persons who are 16 years old, or such a higher age required in your country to use the Services. You represent and warrant that you are an individual of legal age to form a binding contract (or if not, you represent and warrant that you are at least 16 years of age and have received your parent's or guardian's permission to use the Services and have gotten your parent or guardian to review and agree to these Terms on your behalf).
These Terms include the provisions in this document as well as those in the Privacy Policy. Your use of or participation in certain Services may also be subject to additional policies, rules and/or conditions ("Additional Terms"), which are incorporated herein by reference, and you understand and agree that by using or participating in any such Services, you agree to also comply with these Additional Terms.
These terms include important information about rules and restrictions that govern your use of the Services, how Powderline may bill you, auto-renewals and other provisions that affect your rights and disputes between you and Powderline, including limitations on Powderline's liability, class action waivers, and resolution of disputes by arbitration in court.

Please note, if you are a resident of the European Economic Area ("EEA") or the United Kingdom ("UK") you may be subject to different terms, and we endeavor to explicitly call out such differences throughout the Terms.
Services Provided by Us
Services and Memberships
Powderline provides certain Services that are available free-of-charge, while access to other Services is only available through a paid membership (collectively, "Paid Memberships"). Certain Services (including functions, features, membership plans, and promotional offerings) vary by region and platform, meaning certain Services may be different or not be available to you depending on how you access the Services and where you are accessing the Services from.
Paid Membership: Auto-Renewal and Cancellation
Any Paid Membership(s) you have signed up for will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the membership term originally selected, at the then-current non-promotional rate, unless you cancel your Paid Membership and opt-out of auto-renewal before the end of the membership term.
You may elect to buy a Powderline Annual Pass ("Annual Pass") and pay membership fees on an annual basis. All membership fees are payable in advance. Membership fees will be billed automatically to the Payment Method at the start of the annual period, as applicable, and will auto-renew until your membership is terminated. The renewal membership fees will be the same as the initial charges unless you are otherwise notified in advance. You authorize us to charge your Payment Method for the appropriate membership charges and fees and for any other purchases you elect to make via the App. We reserve the right to increase membership fees or to institute new fees at any time upon reasonable notice posted in advance on this App. If you upgrade your membership or add new categories of service to your account, such changes may result in a new billing date effective upon the date you elect such upgrade or addition.
If you signed up on Powderline.com, you may cancel your Paid Membership by visiting "Subscriptions" in your "Account" page. If you signed up through the Google Play or the Apple App store, you may cancel your Paid Membership by downgrading through the corresponding store. If you cancel a Paid Membership, you may use your membership through the end of your current billing cycle, at which time your membership will not renew, and you will be downgraded to a free account.
Except as otherwise explicitly set forth in these Terms, there are no refunds or credits for partially used Paid Membership periods. However, Powderline may grant refunds or credits on a case-by-case basis at our sole discretion. Powderline's grant of a refund or credit in one instance does not obligate Powderline to provide a refund or credit in the future, under any circumstances.
Free Trials and Promotions
Your membership may start with a free trial. The free trial period for any membership will last for the period of time specified when you signed up. Free trials may not be combined with certain other offers and promotions, as specified. If you begin your Paid Membership with a free trial, we will begin billing your Payment Method for fees at the end of the free trial period unless you cancel your Paid Membership prior to the end of the free trial period. If you cancel prior to the end of the trial period and are inadvertently charged for a Paid Membership, please contact us at support@powderline.com.
If you were provided a discount when you initially signed up for a Paid Membership, that promotional price only applies to your initial membership term and your Paid Membership will automatically renew at the full membership price unless you cancel as set forth above.
Cooling-off Period (UK and EEA Customers Only)
If you are a customer based in the UK or EEA, you must reach out to us at support@powderline.com within 14 days of beginning your Paid Membership to exercise any rights of cancellation that you may be afforded under applicable law. For any refunds issued, we will not include the sum payable for the time you were receiving the Services before you reached out to communicate cancellation. Please note, if you signed up for a Paid Membership through the Apple App Store, Google Play or similar third party store, you will need to seek a refund from the third party store directly.
Powderline Stoke Eligibility
Primary account holders shall be responsible for making payments towards the Powderline Stoke subscription and will be able to invite up to five (5) additional members to join their Stoke on platforms Powderline is supported. Powderline reserves the right to determine eligibility for the members in its sole discretion.
Powderline Shred Eligibility
Primary account holders shall be responsible for making payments towards the Powderline Shred subscription and will be able to invite up to twenty (20) additional members to join their Shred on platforms Powderline is supported. Powderline reserves the right to determine eligibility for the members in its sole discretion.
Changes to the Services
Powderline and its third party service providers may make improvements and/or changes in the Services from time to time. For example: (a) the Services may experience temporary interruptions due to technical difficulties, maintenance or testing, or updates, including those required to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, (b) we may modify, suspend, or discontinue (permanently or temporarily) providing any part of the Services (including particular functions, features, Paid Membership plans, and promotional offerings), (c) we may introduce new features or impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Services for Paid Memberships and free users, and (d) we may replace the Services with a substantially similar service offering.
We'll try to give you notice when we make a material change to the Services that would adversely affect you, but this isn't always practical. Powderline reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services or any portion thereof, in our sole discretion, and without notice. You agree that Powderline shall not be liable to you or to any third party, nor have any obligation to provide a refund or credit to you, for any outage, modification, suspension or discontinuance of any part of the Services.
Third Party Services
The Services may contain links or connections to third party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Powderline ("Third Party Services"). When you access Third Party Services, you accept that there are risks in doing so, and that Powderline is not responsible for such risks. Powderline has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, privacy policies, practices of or opinions expressed in any Third Party Services or by any third party that you interact with through the Services. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Services and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third party website or service that you visit or utilize. We are not responsible for any liability arising from your use of any Third Party Service.
Use of Applications
You acknowledge and agree that the availability of our mobile applications and your ability to access the Services through such mobile applications is dependent on the third party stores from which you download the mobile application, e.g., the App Store from Apple or the Google Play store for Android (each an "App Store"). Each App Store may have its own terms and conditions to which you must agree before downloading mobile applications from the applicable App Store. You agree to comply with, and your license to use our application is conditioned upon your compliance with, such App Store terms and conditions. To the extent such other terms and conditions from such App Store are less restrictive than, or otherwise conflict with, the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use, the more restrictive or conflicting terms and conditions in these Terms of Use apply.
Through our mobile applications, you may purchase ("In-App Purchase") certain goods or features designed to enhance the performance of the Services. When you make an In-App Purchase, you are doing so through either the Apple App Store service or the Google Play service and you are agreeing to their respective Terms and Conditions. Powderline is not a party to any In-App Purchase.
Your Use of the Services
Account Creation and Access
To use some services available on the App, you must complete the membership registration form. You agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the App's registration form ("User Data") and (b) maintain and promptly update the User Data to keep it accurate and current. If you provide any information that is inaccurate or not current, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is inaccurate or not current, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the App.
To access the Services, you may be required to sign up for an account ("Powderline Account"), and provide us with certain information or data, such as your contact information. When creating a Powderline Account, you may not use a name or email that you do not have the right to use, or another person's name with the intent to impersonate that person. You may not transfer your Powderline Account to anyone else without our prior written permission.
Additionally, you may be able to access certain parts or features of the Services by using your account credentials from other services (each, a "Third Party Account"), such as those offered by Facebook. By using the Services through a Third Party Account, you permit us to access certain information from such accounts for use by the Services. You are ultimately in control of how much information is accessible to us and may exercise such control by adjusting your privacy settings on your Third Party Account.
You agree to create a Powderline Account for your own personal, non-commercial use and will not share your Powderline Account, credentials, or Paid Membership with others, unless otherwise allowed by your membership plan. You must protect the security of your Powderline Account, password and any other access tools or credentials. You're responsible for any activity associated with your Powderline Account.
Permitted Use and Restrictions
You will only access and use the Services for your own internal, personal use, and not on behalf of or for the benefit of any third party, including without limitation for research, as part of any business, reselling of the Services, or other commercial use.
You represent, warrant, and agree that you will not:
- Infringe or violate the intellectual property rights or any other rights of anyone else (including Powderline)
- Violate any law or regulation, including any applicable export control laws, privacy laws or any other purpose not reasonably intended by Powderline
- Engage in dangerous, harmful, fraudulent, deceptive, threatening, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable conduct

- Use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means to access the Services or portion thereof
- Use any manual, automated or programmatic method to crawl or extract data, Outputs, or portion of the Services or Content or to circumvent limits on Services, including scraping, web harvesting, or web data extraction
- Use any data mining, data gathering or extraction method
- Allow unauthorized API access

- Decompile, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to obtain the source code or underlying ideas or information of or relating to the Services
We may terminate or restrict your use of the Services if you violate these Terms or are engaged in illegal or fraudulent use of the Services and, if you have a Paid Membership, you will not be entitled to any refund or credit.
Billing and Payment
We use a third party payment processor (the "Payment Processor") to bill you through a payment account linked to your Powderline Account (your "Billing Account"). Currently, we use Stripe as our Payment Processor for the Powderline website. You can access Stripe's Consumer Terms of Service at stripe.com/legal/consumer and their Privacy Policy at stripe.com/privacy. If you sign up through the Google Play or the Apple App Store, the corresponding App Store will serve as the Payment Processor. We are not responsible for any error by, or other acts or omissions of, the Payment Processor. You agree to pay us, through the Payment Processor, all charges at the prices then in effect for any fee-based Services in accordance with the applicable payment terms.
Recurring Billing.
BY SIGNING UP FOR A PAID MEMBERSHIP, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SUCH SERVICES HAVE AN INITIAL AND RECURRING PAYMENT FEATURE, AND YOU ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL RECURRING CHARGES PRIOR TO CANCELLATION. WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES (E.G., MONTHLY, ANNUALLY) WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU PROVIDE PRIOR NOTICE (RECEIPT OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY US) THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION BY FOLLOWING THE CANCELLATION INSTRUCTIONS IN THESE TERMS OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE REASONABLY COULD ACT. TO TERMINATE YOUR AUTHORIZATION OR CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD, GO TO ACCOUNT SETTINGS.
IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE TO BE CHARGED ON A RECURRING BASIS, YOU MUST CANCEL THE APPLICABLE PAID MEMBERSHIP IN YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS, OR AS OTHERWISE DESCRIBED IN THESE TERMS, BEFORE THE END OF THE RECURRING TERM. PAID MEMBERSHIPS CANNOT BE TERMINATED BEFORE THE END OF THE PERIOD FOR WHICH YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID, AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS, POWDERLINE WILL NOT ISSUE A REFUND OR CREDIT ANY FEES THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID.
Change in Amount Authorized.
Powderline may from time to time make changes to Paid Memberships, including recurring subscription fees. If the amount to be charged to your Billing Account varies from the amount you preauthorized (other than due to the imposition or change in the amount of state sales taxes), you have the right to receive, and we shall provide, notice of the amount to be charged and the date of the charge before the scheduled date of the transaction. If you do not agree to a price change, you can cancel your Paid Membership before the change takes effect.
Updated Information.
YOU MUST PROVIDE AND PROMPTLY UPDATE ALL INFORMATION TO KEEP YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE (SUCH AS A CHANGE IN BILLING ADDRESS, CREDIT CARD NUMBER, OR CREDIT CARD EXPIRATION DATE). YOU MUST PROMPTLY NOTIFY US OR OUR PAYMENT PROCESSOR IF YOUR PAYMENT METHOD IS CANCELED (E.G., FOR LOSS OR THEFT) OR IF YOU BECOME AWARE OF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF SECURITY, SUCH AS UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO YOUR POWDERLINE ACCOUNT. CHANGES TO SUCH INFORMATION CAN BE MADE IN YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE ANY OF THE FOREGOING INFORMATION, YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY CONTINUE CHARGING YOU FOR ANY USE OF PAID MEMBERSHIPS UNDER YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT UNLESS YOU HAVE CANCELLED YOUR PAID MEMBERSHIP AS SET FORTH ABOVE.

Procedure for Reporting Copyright Infringements.

IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER RESIDING IN THE UK OR EEA, YOU HAVE LEGAL REMEDIES IF WE CAUSE YOU LOSS BY OUR BREACH OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF OUR LEGAL OBLIGATIONS, OR BY OUR NEGLIGENCE, AND WE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSSES YOU SUFFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE STATUTORY REMEDIES, UNLESS THE LOSS IS:
- Unexpected. It was not obvious that it would happen and nothing you said to us before we accepted your order meant we should have expected it (so, in the law, the loss was unforeseeable).
- Caused by a delaying event outside our control. If a loss is caused by a delaying event outside our control and not otherwise contemplated under these Terms, we will try to contact you as soon as possible to let you know and do what we can to reduce the delay. As long as we do this, we won't compensate you for any loss associated with such delay.
- Avoidable. Something you could have avoided by taking reasonable action. For example, damage to your own digital content or device, which was caused by digital content we supplied and which you could have avoided by following our advice to apply a free update or by correctly following the installation instructions or having the minimum system requirements advised by us.
- A business loss. Our Services are not permitted to be used for any commercial purposes, including the purposes of your trade, craft or profession.
Resolving Disputes With Us
For users in the EEA and UK, disputes may be resolved as follows:
- Resolving disputes without going to court. Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without parties having to go to court. If you are a user based in the EEA and you are not happy with how Powderline handles any complaint, you are entitled to submit the dispute for online resolution to the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution platform.
- You can go to court. These Terms are governed by and will be construed under the laws of the country where you reside. In the event you bring legal proceedings in respect of these Terms in the courts of the country in which you reside, you will benefit from any mandatory provisions of the law of the jurisdiction in which you are a resident. For example, if you live in England, you can bring claims against us in the English courts.
FOR USERS IN ALL OTHER JURISDICTIONS, PLEASE REFER BELOW TO ANNEX A BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVERS, WHICH SHALL BE BINDING WITH RESPECT TO THE RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES UNDER THESE TERMS.
About These Terms
Transfer
Powderline may transfer our contract with you, so that another entity is responsible for supplying the Services or similar services. We'll try to ensure that the transfer won't materially affect your rights under the contract and will tell you in writing if such a transfer is expected to materially affect your rights. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms to anyone else. These Terms are personal to you and no third party is entitled to benefit under these Terms except as set out here.
Changes
Powderline may, from time to time, change these Terms. We reserve the right to change the Terms at any time by posting modified Terms on our website(s) and our mobile application(s) and changing the "Last Updated" date above, so you know when the new terms took effect. Such revisions shall be effective immediately; provided however, for users with existing Powderline Accounts, material revisions shall, unless otherwise stated, be effective one month following notice to you through electronic means, for example via email to the email address associated with your Powderline Account or by displaying a notice on our website(s) and mobile application(s).
If you don't agree with the new Terms, you are free to reject them; unfortunately, that means you will no longer be able to use the Services. If you use the Services in any way after a change to the Terms is effective, that means you agree to all of the changes.
Entire Agreement
The Terms of Use (including the Powderline Privacy Policy and other Supplemental Terms incorporated by reference into this document) constitute the entire agreement between you and Powderline relating to your rights and obligations in the use of the Services. If there is any conflict between the Terms of Use and any other rules or instructions posted on a web Service, Powderline shall resolve the conflict in its sole discretion.
Notice to California Residents
Pursuant to Cal. Civil Code § 1789.3, please note that (a) Powderline is located at 23465 Civic Center Way, Building 9, Malibu, CA 90265, (b) the fees and charges for our Services vary depending on the services selected by you, and (c) if you have a complaint regarding the Services or desire further information on use of the Services, please contact our Customer Support.

Other Important Terms
The failure of either you or us to exercise, in any way, any right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. Even if we delay in enforcing any rights under these Terms, we can still enforce it later. We might not immediately chase you for not doing something (like paying) or for doing something you're not allowed to, but that doesn't mean we can't do it later. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated, to the minimum extent necessary, so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. You and Powderline agree that these Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding between you and Powderline, and that these Terms supersede and cancel all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venture of Powderline, and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Powderline in any respect whatsoever.
Except as expressly set forth in the section above regarding the Apple Application and in Annex A, you and Powderline agree there are no third party beneficiaries intended under these Terms.
Annex A
Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE OR PARTICIPATE IN A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
Both you and Powderline acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms, Powderline's officers, directors, employees and independent contractors ("Personnel") are third party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms, Personnel will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as the third party beneficiary hereof.
1. Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure
If a Dispute (as defined below) arises between you and Powderline, Powderline is committed to working with you to try to reach a reasonable resolution. For any such Dispute, both parties acknowledge and agree that they will first use good faith efforts to settle the Dispute informally and directly through consultation and negotiations before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding in arbitration or otherwise. Such informal resolution requires first sending a written description of the dispute to the other party. For any Dispute you initiate, you agree to send the written description of the Dispute along with the email address utilized as your username and profile associated with your Powderline, if applicable, to Powderline, 23465 Civic Center Way, Building 9, Malibu, CA 90265 and legal@powderline.com. The written description must be on an individual basis and provide, at minimum, the following information: your name and contact information; a description of the nature or basis of the claim or dispute; the specific relief sought; and proof of your relationship with Powderline. Unless the parties agree to extend the period for informal resolution, if the Dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days after receipt of the written description of the Dispute, you and Powderline agree to the further Dispute resolution provisions below.
The informal dispute resolution procedure in this Annex A, Section 1 is a prerequisite and condition precedent to commencing any formal dispute resolution proceeding. The parties agree that any relevant limitations period and filing fees or other deadlines will be tolled while the parties engage in this informal dispute resolution procedure.
2. Mutual Arbitration Agreement
If the informal dispute resolution procedure does not lead to resolution, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve Disputes, (except as provided herein) subject to the terms set forth below and the National Arbitration and Mediation ("NAM") rules. If you are initiating arbitration, a copy of the demand shall also be emailed to legal@powderline.com. If you have a Powderline Account, any demand filed by you initiating arbitration must include the email address you used to log onto Powderline, as well as any profile associated with that account that is controlled by you.
You and Powderline agree that the terms of this Annex A (collectively the "Arbitration Agreement") govern any and all disputes between us including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, the Terms of Use, or your use of the Services, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory (each a "Dispute" and collectively "Disputes").
The parties further agree that the determination of the scope, enforceability, or applicability of this Arbitration Agreement, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part thereof of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, and any dispute regarding the payment of administrative or arbitrator fees (including the timing of such payments and remedies for nonpayment) will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration in accordance with this Annex A.
This Arbitration Agreement supersedes any prior Arbitration Agreement entered by the parties and is applicable to unfiled claims that arose, were asserted, or involve facts occurring before the existence of this Arbitration Agreement or any prior agreement as well as claims that may arise after the termination of this Arbitration Agreement, in accordance with the notice and opt-out provisions set forth herein. The parties agree that this Arbitration Agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16.
Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all Disputes through arbitration, each party retains the right to (i) elect to have any claims resolved in small claims court on an individual basis for disputes and actions within the scope of such court's jurisdiction, regardless of what forum the filing party initially chose; (ii) bring an action in state or federal court to protect its intellectual property rights ("intellectual property rights" in this context means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets and other confidential or proprietary information, but not privacy or publicity rights) or for defamation; and (iii) seek a declaratory judgment, injunction, or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction regarding whether a party's claims are time-barred or may be brought in small claims court. Seeking such relief shall not waive a party's right to arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, and any filed arbitrations related to any action filed pursuant to this paragraph shall automatically be stayed pending the outcome of such action.
3. Class Arbitration and Collective Relief Waiver
YOU AND POWDERLINE ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, EXCEPT AS SET OUT OTHERWISE IN SECTION 6 BELOW, ANY ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY ONLY AND NOT AS A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE ACTION AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO RESOLVE AN INDIVIDUAL PARTY'S CLAIM. NOTWITHSTANDING THIS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND AGREEMENT, ANY ARBITRATION INVOLVING YOU MAY PROCEED ON A CONSOLIDATED BASIS IF AND ONLY IF POWDERLINE PROVIDES ITS CONSENT TO CONSOLIDATE IN WRITING.
With the exception of this Section 3 and Sections 5 and 6 below, if any part of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the rules of NAM, then the balance of this Arbitration Agreement shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, this Section 3 and Section 5 and 6 below are found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, and neither you nor Powderline shall be entitled to arbitrate their Dispute.
4. Arbitration Rules
The arbitration will be administered by NAM and conducted before a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of NAM, including, as applicable, NAM Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures, Fees For Disputes When One of the Parties is a Consumer and the Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures in effect at the time any demand for arbitration is filed with NAM, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class or representative actions. The applicable NAM rules and procedures are available at namadr.com or by emailing National Arbitration and Mediation's Commercial Dept at commercial@namadr.com.
5. Arbitration Location and Procedure
For all U.S. residents and non-U.S. residents alike, the arbitration shall be held in Los Angeles, California (unless otherwise agreed by the parties). The arbitrator shall apply California law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. The arbitrator or arbitration body shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator has the right to impose sanctions in accordance with the NAM rules and procedures for any frivolous claims or submissions the arbitrator determines have not been filed in good faith, as well as for a party's failure to comply with the Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure contemplated by this Arbitration Agreement.
If the amount in controversy does not exceed $10,000 and you do not seek injunctive or declaratory relief, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Powderline submit to the arbitrator, unless the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary, or the parties agree otherwise. If the amount in controversy exceeds $10,000 or seeks declaratory or injunctive relief, either party may request (or the arbitrator may determine) to hold a hearing, which shall be via videoconference or telephone conference unless the parties agree otherwise.
Subject to the applicable NAM rules and procedures, the parties agree that the arbitrator will have the discretion to allow the filing of dispositive motions if they are likely to efficiently resolve or narrow issues in dispute. Unless otherwise prohibited by law, all arbitration proceedings will be confidential and closed to the public and any parties other than you and Powderline (and each of the parties' authorized representatives and agents), and all records relating thereto will be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the arbitration award (provided that the party seeking confirmation shall seek to file such records under seal to the extent permitted by law).
6. Mass Arbitration
To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, in the event 100 or more similar arbitration demands (those asserting the same or substantially similar facts or claims, and seeking the same or substantially similar relief) presented by or with the assistance or coordination of the same law firm(s) or organization(s) are submitted to NAM against Powderline (a "Mass Filing"), the parties agree (i) to administer the Mass Filing in batches of 10 demands per batch (to the extent there are fewer than 10 arbitration demands left over after the batching described above, a final batch will consist of the remaining demands) with only one batch filed, processed, and adjudicated at a time; (ii) to designate one arbitrator for each demand within the batch (the same arbitrator may preside over multiple demands in a batch if the relevant claimants and Powderline so agree); (iii) to accept applicable fees, including any related fee reduction determined by NAM in its discretion; (iv) that no other demands for arbitration that are part of the Mass Filing may be filed, processed, or adjudicated until the prior batch of 10 is filed, processed, and adjudicated; (v) that fees associated with a demand for arbitration included in a Mass Filing, including fees owed by Powderline and the claimants, shall only be due after your demand for arbitration is included in a set of batch proceedings and that batch is properly designated for filing, processing, and adjudication; (vi) that the staged process of batched proceedings, with each set including 10 demands, shall continue until each demand (including your demand) is adjudicated or otherwise resolved; and (vii) to make good faith efforts to resolve each batch of demands within 180-days, failing which any of the claimants or Powderline may cease arbitration and file in a court of competent jurisdiction.
Arbitrator selection for the demands in each batch shall be conducted to the greatest extent possible in accordance with the applicable NAM rules and procedures for such selection, and the arbitrator will determine the location where the proceedings for each demand within a batch will be conducted.
You agree to cooperate in good faith with Powderline and the arbitration provider to implement such a "batch approach" or other similar approach to provide for an efficient resolution of claims, including the payment of combined reduced fees, set by NAM in its discretion, for each batch of demands. The parties further agree to cooperate with each other and the arbitration provider or arbitrator to establish any other processes or procedures that the arbitration provider or arbitrator believe will provide for an efficient resolution of claims. Any disagreement between the parties as to whether this provision applies or as to the process or procedure for batching shall be resolved by a procedural arbitrator appointed by NAM. This "Batch Arbitration" provision shall in no way be interpreted as increasing the number of demands necessary to trigger the applicability of NAM's Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures or authorizing class arbitration of any kind. Unless Powderline otherwise consents in writing, Powderline does not agree or consent to class arbitration, private attorney general arbitration, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as set forth in this Section 6. If your demand for arbitration is included in the Mass Filing, your claims will remain tolled until your demand for arbitration is decided, withdrawn, or is settled.
The parties agree that this batching provision is integral to the Arbitration Agreement insofar as it applies to a Mass Filing. If the batching provision in this Section 6 or the engagement of a mediator in Section 7 is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, and neither you nor Powderline shall be entitled to arbitrate any claim that is a part of the Mass Filing.
7. Mediation Following First Batch in a Mass Filing
The results of the first batch of demands will be given to a NAM mediator selected from a group of 5 mediators initially proposed by NAM, with Powderline and the remaining claimants' counsel being able to strike one mediator each and then rank the remaining mediators and the highest collectively ranked mediator being selected. The selected mediator will try to facilitate a resolution of the remaining demands in the Mass Filing. After the results are provided to the mediator, Powderline, the remaining claimants and their counsel, and the mediator will have 90 days (the "Mediation Period") to agree on a resolution or substantive methodology for resolving the outstanding demands. If the parties are unable to resolve the outstanding demands during the Mediation Period, and cannot agree on a methodology for resolving them through further arbitrations, either Powderline or any remaining claimant may opt out of the arbitration process and have the demand(s) proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction. Notice of the opt-out will be provided in writing within 60 days of the close of the Mediation Period. If neither Powderline nor the remaining claimants opt out and they cannot agree to a methodology for resolving the remaining demands through further arbitration, the arbitrations will continue with the batching process. Absent notice of an opt-out, the arbitrations will proceed in the order determined by the sequential numbers assigned to demands in the Mass Filing.
8. Arbitrator's Decision
The arbitrator's decision shall be controlled by the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service and any of the other agreements referenced herein that the applicable user may have entered into in connection with the website. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the applicable NAM rules and procedures. The arbitrator's decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages on an individual basis and to grant, on an individual basis, any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual to the extent available under applicable law, the arbitral forum's rules, and this Arbitration Agreement. The parties agree that the damages and/or other relief must be consistent with the terms of the "Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability" section of these Terms of Use as to the types and the amounts of damages or other relief for which a party may be held liable. No individual arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration. Attorneys' fees will be available to the prevailing party in the arbitration if authorized under applicable substantive law governing the claims in the arbitration.
9. Fees
You are responsible for your own attorneys' fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise, including as set forth in this Arbitration Agreement.
The parties agree that NAM has discretion to reduce the amount or modify the timing of any administrative or arbitration fees due under NAM's Rules where it deems appropriate provided that such modification does not increase the costs to you, and you further agree that you waive any objection to such fee modification. The parties also agree that a good-faith challenge by either party to the fees imposed by NAM does not constitute a default, waiver, or breach of this Arbitration Agreement while such challenge remains pending before NAM, the arbitrator, and/or a court of competent jurisdiction, and that any and all due dates for those fees shall be tolled during the pendency of such challenge.
10. 30-Day Right to Opt Out
You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to legal@powderline.com with the subject line, "ARBITRATION OPT-OUT." The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of (a) these Terms taking effect; or (b) your first use of the Services, whichever is later. Otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of the Arbitration Agreement, you may exercise your right to a trial by jury or judge, as permitted by applicable law, but any prior existing agreement to arbitrate disputes under a prior version of the Arbitration Agreement will not apply to claims not yet filed. If you opt out of the Arbitration Agreement, Powderline also will not be bound by it.
11. Changes
Powderline will provide thirty (30) days' notice of any material changes to this Arbitration Agreement. Any such changes will go into effect 30 days after Powderline provides notice and will apply to all claims not yet filed regardless of when such claims may have accrued. If Powderline makes changes to this Arbitration Agreement after the date you first accepted this Arbitration Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to this Arbitration Agreement), you agree that your continued use of the Services 30 days after such change will be deemed acceptance of those changes.
