PERKVILLE TERMS OF SERVICE

Updated and Effective as of:  April 9, 2024

Welcome to Perkville! These Terms of Service (“Terms”), along with our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and the other policies applicable to you that are posted on our website (collectively the “User Agreement”), are a contract that will govern your use and access to Perkville’s Service. Just like any other contract, it is a legal agreement between you and Perkville. Please take the time to read our User Agreement carefully before you start to use Perkville’s Service. By using any part of our Service, you agree to these Terms, as well as our Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy. If you are using the Service on behalf of a Business, you represent to us that you have authority to bind that Business and that the Business accepts these Terms, as well as our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Service.

We hope that there aren’t any disputes between you and Perkville, but in case there are disputes, these Terms have some rules for how to resolve them. Those rules are set out, below, in the sections called Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, and Dispute Resolution. Please read these sections carefully as they include important agreements that affect your legal rights. In particular:

You agree to email us at [email protected] before you bring a formal claim in court or arbitration so that we can try to reach an agreement. And, we agree to do the same.

If you are a Client (defined below), you agree that any disputes between you and Perkville will be subject to a  MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. This means that any disputes between you and Perkville will not be decided by a judge or a jury but, instead, will be decided in a private arbitration.

If you are a Client (defined below), you also agree that you will not sue Perkville in a class action lawsuit, either as named plaintiff or a class member. This is called a “class action waiver.

We think that these Terms are fair and straightforward, but feel free to contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions or suggestions.

CHANGES TO OUR USER AGREEMENT

We may revise and update our User Agreement (which includes these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Cookie Policy) from time to time. If we decide to change any portion of the User Agreement, we will let you know in a way that we think is reasonable under the circumstances, such as by providing a notice via the Service or on our website. The changes will not be retroactive, but they are effective thirty (30) days after we give notice.

By continuing to use the Service after we give notice, you accept and agree to be bound by the revised User Agreement.  

Clients (i.e., individual users) may opt out of the updated User Agreement, by no longer accessing or using the Service and notifying us to terminate their account. The most current version of the User Agreement, which will always be accessible at perkville.com, will govern our relationship with you.

Judicial Forum for Disputes: You and Perkville agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in San Francisco, California, USA, subject to the mandatory, individual arbitration provisions, below.

Controlling Law:
Any claim, dispute or matter arising under or in connection with the User Agreement (which includes these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Cookie Policy) shall be governed and construed in all respects by the laws of the State of California, USA, without giving effect to California’s conflict of law’s provisions, except to the extent local law is mandatory for consumers.

CLIENTS (NOT BUSINESSES) AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROVISIONS:

This provision applies to Clients (not Businesses). 

We Both Agree to Arbitrate Our Claims: You and Perkville agree to resolve any claims relating to or arising from the User Agreement or the Services through final, binding, and individual arbitration by a single arbitrator, unless you fall under one of the Exceptions to the Agreement to Arbitrate, which are described below.

Procedures for Arbitration: The Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. It will be held in your home county, or San Francisco, CA, or another location that we agree to.

Arbitration Costs and Incentives: AAA rules will control all arbitration fees and incentives.  We will pay arbitration fees for individual arbitration claims that are under $20,000 and will not seek our attorney’s fees or costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator decides that your claim is frivolous. 

Exceptions to the Agreement to Arbitrate: These Mandatory Individual Arbitration Provisions do not apply to: (1) qualifying claims brought in small-claims court; and (2) a lawsuit for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use of the Services or infringement on Intellectual Property Rights. If the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts in San Francisco, California.

You May Opt-Out of the Agreement to Arbitrate: If you do not want to agree to these Mandatory Individual Arbitration Provisions, you can opt-out by sending an email to [email protected], telling us your name, the email address associated with your account, and that you want to opt-out of the mandatory individual arbitration agreement. In order for your opt-out to be effective, you must email us within thirty (30) days of signing up for an account with us or acknowledging that you have been notified of these Terms, whichever comes later.

NO CLASS ACTIONS: You agree that you will only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis. You understand that accepting and agreeing to these Terms you, you and Perkville are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action or class arbitration of claims relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Services. You are not allowed to bring, or participate, in class actions, consolidated actions, representative actions, class arbitrations, private attorney general actions against Perkville. The arbitrator does not have the power to modify this provision.

If any part of this “Dispute Resolution” section is found to be unenforceable, it will be severed and the rest of this section will remain in full force except as follows:  If the prohibition against class or representative actions is found to be unenforceable, all of the Mandatory Individual Arbitration Provisions are null and void.
