NEITHER UPLEVYL NOR ITS OFFICERS, MANAGERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY THE “UPLEVYL PARTIES”) GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY, CORRECTNESS, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, RELIABILITY, SUITABILITY OR USEFULNESS OF THE SERVICES OR ANY CONTENT.
NONE OF THE UPLEVYL PARTIES WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ACCURATE OR ERROR FREE, THAT ANY SPECIFIC INFORMATION THAT IS REQUESTED WILL BE PROVIDED OR THAT THE SERVICES ARE OR WILL BE FREE OF COMPUTER VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL ELEMENTS. UPLEVYL DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY ISSUES OR ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED. NONE OF THE UPLEVYL PARTIES MAKES ANY, AND HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL, REPRESENTATIONS, ENDORSEMENTS, GUARANTEES, AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE SERVICES AND CONTENT INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS. YOUR USE OF SERVICES AND CONTENT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING MEMBERS. UPLEVYL IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT OF ANY USER OR MEMBER. UPLEVYL DOES NOT CONDUCT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS ON ITS MEMBERS OR USERS. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE SERVICES OR UPLEVYL PARTIES OR ANY CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION, COVENANT OR GUARANTEE REGARDING ANY OF THE UPLEVYL PARTIES OR THE SERVICES OR CONTENT. THE LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SECTION 11 APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. THE UPLEVYL PARTIES DO NOT DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY OR OTHER RIGHT THAT UPLEVYL PARTIES ARE PROHIBITED FROM DISCLAIMING UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY OF THE UPLEVYL PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY YOUR RELIANCE ON CONTENT OBTAINED THROUGH THIS SERVICES. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO EVALUATE THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR USEFULNESS OF ANY CONTENT. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY OF THE UPLEVYL PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF DATA, INCOME, PROFIT OR GOODWILL, LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY AND CLAIMS OF THIRD PARTIES ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS, THE SERVICES OR CONTENT, OR YOUR USE THEREOF, HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PROPRIETARY RIGHTS INFRINGEMENT, PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY UPLEVYL PARTIES HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE.

THE SERVICES WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED WITHOUT THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 12 AND YOU AGREE THAT THE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMERS AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES SPECIFIED HEREIN WILL SURVIVE EVEN IF FOUND TO HAVE FAILED IN THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section 13 ("Arbitration Agreement") carefully. This Arbitration Agreement requires you to arbitrate disputes with Uplevyl, Inc. and limits the manner in which you seek relief from us.
A. GOOD FAITH NEGOTIATIONS. Uplevyl's goal is to provide you with a neutral means of resolving a dispute quickly. For any claim relating to these Terms, you must initiate dispute proceedings by first contacting Uplevyl. If the dispute has not been resolved within one hundred and twenty (120) days from Uplevyl's receipt of your dispute, you may request an arbitration proceeding.
B. APPLICABILITY. This Arbitration Agreement applies to any dispute or claim relating to your use of our Services or any other aspect of your relationship with Uplevyl that has not been resolved within one hundred and twenty (120) days from Uplevyl's receipt of your dispute. It requires that, and by entering into these Terms you agree, that such claims will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms.
C. RULES OF ARBITRATION. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitration will be governed by an established alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") provider selected by Uplevyl, in its sole discretion. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000.00, not inclusive of attorneys' fees and interest, shall be subject to the American Arbitration Association's ("AAA") most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. All other claims will be subject to AAA's most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. If the first choice ADR provider is not available to arbitrate, the Uplevyl will select an alternate ADR provider. Should either party file a claim contrary to this Section, the other party may recover attorneys' fees and costs up to ten thousand U.S. Dollars ($10,000.00 USD), provided that such party seeking such fees has notified the other in writing of the improperly filed claim, and the other has failed to promptly withdraw the claim. AAA's most current versions of its rules, policies, and procedures can be found here: https://www.adr.org/Rules.
D. LOCATION. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS or at another mutually agreed location.
E. ARBITRATOR'S AUTHORITY. The arbitrator has the exclusive authority to (i) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement, and (ii) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum's rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
F. NO JURY TRIALS By agreeing to arbitration, YOU AND UPLEVYL ARE EACH AGREEING TO WAIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL. Instead, you and Uplevyl are electing that all claims and disputes will be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
G. EXCEPTIONS. Exceptions: nothing in this Arbitration Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
H. ONE AT A TIME. All claims and disputes within the scope of this Arbitration Agreement MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR ANY OTHER CLASS PROCEEDING. Only individual relief is available and claims of more than one customer or user cannot be arbitrated or consolidated with those of any other customer or user. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection's limitations as to a given claim for relief, then the claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in Travis County, Texas. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
I. SEVERABILITY. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
J. CHANGES. If Uplevyl makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to Uplevyl’s address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Uplevyl’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with Uplevyl will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
K. SURVIVAL OF ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. The terms of this Arbitration Agreement will continue, even after your relationship with Uplevyl has ended.
14. GOVERNING LAW
The laws of the State of Texas, U.S.A., without regard to its conflict of laws rules, shall apply to any disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Service, or your relationship with Uplevyl. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Arbitration Agreement in Section 13 above shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
15. VENUE
Except for claims that may be properly brought in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction, all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement, to the Services, or to your relationship with Uplevyl that for whatever reason are not submitted to arbitration as described in Section 13 will be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts of Travis County, Texas, U.S.A. You and Uplevyl consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of courts in the State of Texas and waive any claim that such courts constitute an inconvenient forum.
16. THIRD PARTIES
The Services may contain advertisements and promotions offered by third parties; and may also provide links to third party web sites or applications, or access to third party service providers (collectively “Third Party Sites”). For purposes of these Terms, the term “Third Party Site” also includes any application, content, images, products, videos, resources, services, and other information material that may be available on such Third Party Site. Our decision to link to Third Party Sites is not an endorsement of the Third Party Site. These Terms govern only the Services as described in these Terms and not any Third Party Sites. We do not control the Third Party Sites and expressly disclaim any responsibility or liability for the Third Party Sites and for the acts and omissions of any third parties. Uplevyl is not responsible for the availability (or lack of availability) of Third Party Sites. If you choose to interact with Third Party Sites, you do so at your own risk, and such third party's terms (and not these Terms) will govern their relationship with you. We may exchange information with third party service providers in order to facilitate the provision of Services (and related third party services). Where such information consists of Personal Information (as defined in the Privacy Policy), it will only be shared with third parties in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
17. INDEMNITY
You agree, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Uplevyl, our affiliates, and our and their respective officers, directors, agents, and employees from and against any and all complaints, demands, claims, damages, losses, costs, liabilities and expenses, including attorney's fees, due to, arising out of, or relating in any way to your use of the Services.

Please review your settings within the App to control and limit the messages you receive from Us.
21. WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY.
Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of these Terms on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. If any portion of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intention of the parties, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
22. ACTIONS PERMITTED.
