You may register as a Member in accordance with the Company’s then-current registration and/or fee policies, which may change at any time.

To access or use additional features and services, including the ability to send “SHOUTS” to other Members, you must pay the applicable then-current fees for such service.

Your Member profile may remain posted on the GROWLR App or within the Service even if you are not actively using the Service.

If you cancel your membership or any extra, individual service or add-on, the Company shall have a reasonable amount of time to process the action. If you cancel any type of subscription service add on or feature that was purchased for a specific amount of time that the Company may offer from time to time, your subscription benefits, add on or feature will continue until the end of your then-current term or the agreed upon time period, following which it will expire.

If you hide your profile, other Members will not be able to view your profile until you "unhide" your profile.

Upon such termination or suspension, you will not be entitled to any refund of unused fees for any services, add-ons, features, or subscriptions, and, if applicable, all unpaid subscription amounts and other fees you owe will immediately be due, and the Company may charge such fees to any credit or debit card that you have on file. The Company is not required to disclose, and may be prohibited by law from disclosing, the reason for the termination or suspension of your account.

In addition, you should always take precaution to meet for the first time in a public place and provide your own transportation to and from the meeting location. You should never accept a ride with someone that you have just met online. Finally you should always provide a friend or family member information as to who you are meeting (providing as much information as you have), what time you are meeting, where you are meeting, and when you expect to be finished with the meeting. The Company recommends the use of a set of “Safe Calls” whereby you agree to call or text a friend or family member a secret code word at certain times to indicate that you are safe, and if you do not then they are to check in on you or if necessary contact authorities.

XIX. Arbitration and Governing Law.

A. The exclusive means of resolving any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof), the Service, or the GROWLR App shall be BINDING ARBITRATION administered by the American Arbitration Association. You also warrant, represent and agree that you will not and may not under any circumstances commence or maintain against the Company any class action, class arbitration, or other representative action or proceeding and you acknowledge that the Company is relying on this provision, agreement, warranty and representation in connection with its decision to allow you to use the GROWLR App and/or Service, and you therefore agree to fully indemnify Company for all damages, including attorney’s fees and any and all litigation costs and expenses incurred as a result of a breach hereof.

B. By using the GROWLR App or the Service in any manner, you agree to the above arbitration agreement. In doing so, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend any claims between you and the Company. YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER CLASS PROCEEDING. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR, NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. Both the Company and You are entitled to a fair hearing before the arbitrator. The arbitrator can grant any relief that a court can (subject to the provisions and terms hereof), but you should note that arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings and different rules and procedures may apply. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. In the event of Arbitration, you agree that the following procedures (the “Arbitration Procedures”) will apply:

1. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. GROWLR App and/or the Service is interested in resolving any disputes amicably and efficiently. Therefore, before you file an arbitration proceeding, we suggest that you contact us to explain your complaint, so that we may attempt to resolve it without the need for arbitration. You may Contact Us online or at GROWLR App and/or the Service by email at support@growlrapp.com.

2. American Arbitration Association Administrator. The administrator for the arbitration is the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), a non-profit organization that is not affiliated with GROWLR App and/or the Service. The AAA facilitates, but does not itself conduct, the arbitration. The arbitrator who will hear and decide your dispute will be chosen from the AAA’s roster of neutral arbitrators. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA’s rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration .

3. Applicable Rules. The arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and it’s Consumer-Related Disputes Supplementary Procedures (together, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by these Arbitration Procedures. If there is any inconsistency between the AAA Rules and these Arbitration Procedures, the Arbitration Procedures will control. However, if the arbitrator determines by clear and convincing evidence that strict application of the Arbitration Procedures would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration, the arbitrator may make any order necessary to provide a fundamentally fair arbitration that is consistent with the AAA Rules.

4. Commencing an Arbitration. To commence an arbitration against GROWLR App and/or the Service, you must complete a short form, submit it to the AAA, and send a copy by certified mail with return receipt to the Company at Attention Legal, using the official agent on file in connection with the official business records of company at the Delaware Secretary of State. See the AAA’s claim filing page, http://www.adr.org/fileacase. Upon receipt of an arbitration claim, the Company may assert any counterclaims and defenses it may have against the complaining party.

5. Fees. You are responsible for paying your portion of the fees set forth in the AAA’s fee schedule for consumer disputes. The Company will pay all remaining fees.

6. Selection of the Arbitrator. The parties, using the AAA’s standard procedures, will select a single arbitrator from a roster of neutrals prepared by the AAA.

7. Discovery. Each party may (a) request relevant, non-privileged documents from the other party; and (b) request that the other party provide the particulars of its claims or defenses. Any such discovery requests must be served on the other party within 10 days after the arbitrator’s appointment. The responding party shall provide the requesting party with all responsive, non-privileged documents, the requested particulars, and/or any objections to the requests within 15 days after receipt of the requests. Any disputes about discovery or requests for extensions shall be submitted promptly to the arbitrator for prompt resolution. In ruling on any discovery dispute or extension request, the arbitrator shall take into consideration the nature, amount, and scope of the underlying arbitration claim, the cost and other effort what would be involved in providing the requested discovery, the case schedule, and whether the requested discovery is necessary for the adequate preparation of a claim or defense. In addition, the Arbitrator shall take make special considerations with respect to the Company’s confidential information, trade secrets, and other non-public information and use all practical efforts to protect such information, including, if necessary, the use of a protective order and the designation of such material as “attorney’s eyes only.”

8. Communications with the Arbitrator. Whenever communicating with the arbitrator, the parties must include each other – for example, by including the other party on a telephone conference call and copying the other party on any written submissions, such as letters or emails. To the extent practicable, conferences with the arbitrator will take place by telephone conference call or email. Ex parte communications are not permitted with any arbitrator.

9. Confidentiality. Upon either party’s request, the arbitrator will issue an order requiring that confidential information of either party disclosed during the arbitration (whether in documents or orally) may not be used or disclosed except in connection with the arbitration or a proceeding to enforce the arbitration award and that any permitted filing of confidential information must be done under seal.

10. Arbitration Award. The arbitrator will render a written decision within 14 days after the hearing or, if no hearing was held, within 30 days after any rebuttal or supplemental statements are due. The decision must clearly specify the relief, if any, awarded and contain a brief statement of the reasons for the award.

C. Any proceeding to enforce this arbitration agreement, including any proceeding to confirm, modify, or vacate an arbitration award, shall be commenced in any court of competent jurisdiction located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania and in the event that this arbitration agreement is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against the Company must be commenced only in the federal or state courts located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. You hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of courts in Bucks County, Pennsylvania for such purposes and waive any claim of forum non-convenes and all other jurisdictional claims or those related to venue.

D. This Agreement, and any dispute between you and the Company, shall be governed by the laws of the state of Pennsylvania without regard to principles of conflicts of law, provided that this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

XX. Indemnity by You.

You agree to indemnify and hold the Company, its subsidiaries, and affiliates, and its and their officers, agents, partners and employees, harmless from any loss, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorney's fees and all litigation costs and expenses incurred by Company in defense of any claim or demand, made by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of or failure to comply with this Agreement (including any breach of your representations and warranties contained herein), any statement, postings or Content that you make, post, transmit, publish or otherwise send or provide on or through the GROWLR App or Service or as a result of the Service, and the violation of any law or regulation by you.
