14. AFFILIATED SITES. We have no control over, and no liability for any third party websites or materials. We work with a number of partners and affiliates whose Internet websites may be linked with our Sites. Because neither we nor our Sites have control over the content and performance of these partner and affiliate websites, we make no guarantees about the accuracy, currency, content, or quality of the information provided by such websites, and we assume no responsibility for unintended, objectionable, inaccurate, misleading, or unlawful content that may reside on those websites.

18. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. MOST CONSUMER CONCERNS CAN BE RESOLVED QUICKLY AND TO THE CONSUMER’S SATISFACTION BY CONTACTING RING PARTNER ULC’S CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT AS PROVIDED BELOW UNDER THE SECTION ENTITLED “CONTACTING US.” IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT RING PARTNER ULC’S CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT IS UNABLE TO RESOLVE YOUR CONCERNS, WE EACH AGREE TO RESOLVE THOSE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT INSTEAD OF IN COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND SUBJECT TO THESE TERMS. ARBITRATION IS MORE INFORMAL THAN A LAWSUIT IN COURT. ARBITRATION USES A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY, ALLOWS FOR MORE LIMITED DISCOVERY THAN IN COURT, AND IS SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY COURTS. ARBITRATORS CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF THAT A COURT CAN AWARD. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. IN ARBITRATION, BOTH YOU AND RING PARTNER ULC WILL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ATTORNEYS´ FEES FROM THE OTHER PARTY TO THE SAME EXTENT AS YOU WOULD BE IN COURT.

19. AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. (a) Ring Partner ULC and you agree to arbitrate any and all disputes and claims between us arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy or use of the sites, via the sites or through mobile application, except any disputes or claims which under governing law are not subject to arbitration, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. These terms to arbitrate are intended to be broadly interpreted and to make all disputes and claims between us subject to arbitration to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, any dispute you or we may have relating to copyrights or other intellectual property shall not be governed by this agreement to arbitrate. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that any claims you or we may have relating to intellectual property rights against the other, including seeking injunctive and other equitable relief, may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. 

This agreement to arbitrate otherwise includes, but is not limited to claims based in contract, tort, warranty, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before this or any prior Terms of Use (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; claims relating to our websites; claims arising out of or relating to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act; claims relating to your data privacy or information security; and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms of Use.

For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to “Ring Partner ULC,” “you,” and “us” shall include our respective parent entities, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns, websites of the foregoing, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services, products or information provided or made available under this or prior agreements between us relating to or arising from any aspect of your use or access of the sites.  

Our arbitration agreement, including those applicable to our parent entities, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns, is registered with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Consumer Clause Registry, a reputable organization dedicated to ensuring transparency and fairness in arbitration processes. This registration signifies our commitment to upholding high standards in dispute resolution across all our operations and allows our users to review the arbitration clauses at any time. For more information or to view the registered arbitration clauses, please visit the AAA Consumer Clause Registry Home Page.

This arbitration agreement does not deprive you of any rights afforded to you under applicable law but instead provides a forum for resolving disputes outside of the traditional court system. Please read the arbitration agreement carefully, as it affects your rights.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. You agree that, by entering into these Terms of Use, including this agreement to arbitrate, you and Ring Partner ULC are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class or representative action to the maximum extent permitted by law. These Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Use or your relationship with Ring Partner ULC for any reason. 

(b) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Dispute Notice”). The Notice to Ring Partner ULC should be addressed to the following address (“Dispute Notice Address”):

Ring Partner ULC
Attention: Legal Department
#302-3795 Carey Rd, Victoria BC V8Z6T8 

The Dispute Notice must describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and set forth the specific relief you seek from Ring Partner ULC (“Demand”). If Ring Partner ULC and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Dispute Notice is received, you or Ring Partner ULC may commence an arbitration proceeding. 

(c) The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) of the AAA, as modified by these Terms Of Use, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Dispute Notice Address. The AAA Rules may change from time to time, and you should review them periodically.

All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision as well as other terms and conditions of these Terms of Use, and the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any such dispute relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision or any other term of these Terms of Use, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this arbitration provision or these Terms of Use are void or voidable. However, if putative class or representative claims are initially brought by either party in a court of law, and a motion to compel arbitration is brought by any party, then the court shall decide whether these Terms of Use permit class or representative proceedings. For the avoidance of doubt, the court and arbitrator shall be bound by these Terms of Use, including with regard to the class and representative waiver provision. In any arbitration, the arbitrator shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator shall not have the power to commit manifest errors of law or legal reasoning, and any award rendered by the arbitrator that employs a manifest error of law or legal reasoning may be vacated or corrected by a court of competent jurisdiction for any such error.  

Unless Ring Partner ULC and you agree otherwise, any arbitration will be governed by the substantive laws of your state, and hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your permanent residence. Case management and other hearings shall be heard via telephone unless agreed to otherwise. The payment of all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

 During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Ring Partner ULC or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Ring Partner ULC is entitled. In arbitration, and to the extent otherwise permitted by law, the parties may exchange “offers of compromise” or stipulate to judgments or awards in the same way the parties could in court, including for example, under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 998 for arbitrations taking place in the State of California. Such offers of compromise shall have the same force and effect as they would in a court proceeding. The arbitration proceedings shall otherwise remain confidential, except for purposes of seeking court intervention (if necessary).  

(d) Discovery and/or the exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the dispute will be governed by the AAA Rules.

(e) YOU AND RING PARTNER ULC 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 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. If this specific subparagraph (e) is found to be unenforceable in its entirety, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. However, if only a portion of this subparagraph (e) is found to be unenforceable, then the unenforceable portion of the provision shall be stricken, and the remainder of subparagraph (e) enforced. Any claims or causes of action seeking relief not subject to individual arbitration under applicable law shall be stayed in a court of competent jurisdiction pending completion of individual arbitration to the maximum extent permitted by law. 

(f) Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Use to the contrary, we agree that if Ring Partner ULC makes any change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Dispute Notice Address) after your enrollment in a service or program or your use of the Ring Partner ULC Sites, you may reject any such change and require Ring Partner ULC to adhere to the language in this arbitration provision as written at the time at the time you initially requested or received any services from us if a dispute between us arises, by providing Notice to Ring Partner ULC at the Dispute Notice Address in subsection (b) above within thirty (30) days of your enrollment.

20. SEVERABILITY; WAIVER. If, for whatever reason, a court of competent jurisdiction finds any term or condition in these Terms to be unenforceable, all other terms and conditions will remain unaffected and in full force and effect. No waiver of any breach of any provision of these Terms shall constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions hereof, and no waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.

21. NO LICENSE. Nothing contained on the Sites should be understood as granting you a license to use any of the trademarks, service marks, or logos owned by us or by any third party. 

22. MODIFICATIONS. We may, in our sole discretion and without prior notice, (a) revise these Terms of Use; (b) modify the Sites, the Software and/or the Service; and (c) discontinue any or all of the Sites, the Software and/or Service at any time. Any revision shall be effective immediately upon posting. You agree to review these Terms of Use and other online policies posted on the Sites periodically to be aware of any revisions. You agree that, by continuing to use or access the Sites following notice of any revision, you shall abide by any such revision.

23. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. BY USING THE SERVICE OR ACCESSING THE SITES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THESE TERMS OF USE AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THEM.
