Sprig requires payment of Fees for use of the Services (or certain portions thereof) and Company agrees to pay such Fees:

2.a General.

Whether Company makes a one-time payment or purchases a Subscription (each, a “Transaction”), Company expressly authorizes Sprig (or Sprig’s third-party payment processor) to charge Company for such Transaction. Sprig may ask Company to supply additional information relevant to its Transaction, including Company’s credit card number, the expiration date of Company’s credit card and Company’s email and postal addresses for billing and notification (such information, “Payment Information”). Company represents and warrants that it has the legal right to use all payment method(s) represented by any such Payment Information. When Company initiates a Transaction, Company authorizes Sprig to provide its Payment Information to third parties so Sprig can complete Company’s Transaction and to charge Company’s payment method for the type of Transaction Company has selected (plus any applicable taxes and other charges). Company may need to provide additional information to verify its identity before completing Company’s Transaction (such information is included within the definition of Payment Information). By initiating a Transaction, Company agrees to the pricing, payment and billing policies applicable to such fees and charges, as posted or otherwise communicated to Company. All payments for Transactions are non-refundable and non-transferable except as expressly provided in these Terms. All payments shall be paid in U.S. dollars.

2.b Subscription Fee.

If Company purchases a subscription for the Services (“Subscription”), Company will be charged and agrees to pay the annual or monthly Subscription fee (as applicable), plus any applicable taxes, and other charges (“Subscription Fee”), at the beginning of Company’s Subscription and each year or month thereafter (as applicable), at the then-current Subscription Fee. Company’s Subscription continues until canceled by Company or Sprig terminates Company’s access to or use of the Services or the Subscription in accordance with these Terms. In the event Company’s Subscription begins on a day not contained in a later month, Company’s payment method will be charged on such other day as Sprig deems appropriate. For example, if Company started a monthly Subscription on January 31st, Company’s next payment date is likely to be February 28th, and Company’s payment method would be billed on that date.

2.c Canceling a Subscription.

Company may cancel its Subscription at any time but please note that such cancellation will only be effective at the end of the then-current subscription period. Unless required by law, COMPANY WILL NOT RECEIVE A REFUND OF ANY PORTION OF THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE PAID FOR THE THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD AT THE TIME OF CANCELLATION. To cancel, Company can either (i) email Sprig at billing@sprig.com and follow any instructions, if any, Sprig provides to Company in response to Company’s cancellation request, or (ii) for some kinds of Subscriptions, initiate a cancellation through Company’s account settings within the Services. Company will be responsible for all Subscription Fees incurred for the then-current Subscription period. Canceling Company’s Subscription will not terminate Company’s account.

Sprig has no obligation to process additional responses beyond this amount.

15. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration Agreement; No Class Action.

15.a Dispute Resolution

The parties must submit all claims and issues arising from, relating to, or connected with the Terms to binding arbitration (e.g., a contract breach claim, indemnification duty issue, and questions regarding an arbitrator’s authority) in accordance with this Section. A single arbitrator will conduct the arbitration in San Francisco County, CA, and in accordance with the current Rules of Practice and Procedure of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (JAMS). The arbitrator is bound by strict rules of law and the terms set forth herein (i.e., the arbitrator may not waive, change or equitably excuse any terms set forth herein, including ancillary documents (e.g., an amendment)). The arbitrator does not have the power to commit errors of law or legal reasoning, and a court may vacate or correct an arbitration award because of such errors. The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) governs all issues arising from the arbitrability or the enforcement of the agreement to arbitrate, except for the requirements to apply California state law (but disregarding any principle of law that would cause the application of the law of any other jurisdiction or permit a court, as opposed to the arbitrator, to determine the applicability or validity of this agreement to arbitrate). The parties will equally share the arbitrators’ fees and other arbitration costs, regardless of outcome. The parties must submit or file any claim that would constitute a compulsory counterclaim (as defined by Rule 13 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure) within the same arbitration proceedings as the claim to which it relates; any such claim which is not submitted or filed will be barred. The arbitrator may only award damages and may only grant relief that is permitted by these Terms. The arbitrator’s decision, award and relief will be conclusive and binding on the parties. Either party may enter the arbitrator’s decision, award and relief in any court having appropriate jurisdiction.

15.b No Class Action

Arbitration may only be conducted on an individual, not a class wide, basis. No arbitration proceeding between the parties may be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding involving Sprig and any other person or entity. Each party shall file and prosecute arbitration proceedings separately and individually in the name of Company and Sprig and not in any representative capacity. Each party hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert any claim inconsistent with this Section.

15.c Governing Law

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the state of California, excluding its conflicts of law rules, regardless of Company’s country of origin or where Company accesses the Services. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms. All claims and issues arising from, relating to, or connected with these Terms that an arbitrator determines are excluded from the Term’s arbitration requirements may only be filed and resolved by state or Federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and each party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. Further, Sprig may obtain injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any infringement or threatened infringement of its intellectual property rights. Neither party will claim that an aforementioned court lacks personal jurisdiction, is an inconvenient forum or is an improper venue.

16. Assignment.

The Terms may not be assigned by Company, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Sprig, and any attempted assignment without such consent will be void and without effect. Sprig may freely assign these Terms. Subject to the foregoing, the Terms will be binding upon, will inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective representatives, heirs, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.

17. Miscellaneous.

The Terms, including all of its addenda incorporated herein and/or exhibits, sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, discussions and understandings, written or oral, with respect to such subject matter. Neither party will be deemed to be an agent or representative of the other party, and the relationship between the parties will only be that of independent contractors. No failure or delay (in whole or in part) on the part of a party to exercise any right or remedy hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof or effect any other right or remedy. If any provision of these Terms is judged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the other provisions of the Terms shall otherwise remain in effect. Any notices or other communications provided by Sprig under these Terms will be given: (a) via email; or (b) by posting to the Services. For notices made by email, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted. The headings to Sections of the Terms are for convenience or reference only and do not form a part of this Terms and will not in any way affect its interpretation. Neither party will be afforded or denied preference in the construction of this Terms, whether by virtue of being the drafter or otherwise.
