PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TERMS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY ELEVATE IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION AT ANY TIME. When changes are made, Elevate will make a new copy of the Agreement available at the Website and within the Application, and any new Supplemental Terms will be made available from within, or through, the affected Service on the Website and within the Application. We will also update the “Last Updated” date at the top of the Agreement. Any changes to the Agreement will be effective immediately for new Users of the Website, the Application, and/or Services and will be effective thirty (30) days after posting of notice of such changes on the Website and within the Application for existing Users, provided that any material changes shall be effective for Users who have an Account with us upon the earlier of thirty (30) days after posting of notice of such changes on the Website or thirty (30) days after dispatch of an e-mail notice of such changes to Registered Users (defined in Section 3.1 below). Elevate may require you to provide consent to the updated Agreement in a specified manner before further use of the Website, the Application, and/or the Services is permitted. If you do not agree to any change(s) after receiving a notice of such change(s), you shall stop using the Website, the Application, and/or the Services. Otherwise, your continued use of the Website, the Application, and/or Services constitutes your acceptance of such change(s). PLEASE REGULARLY CHECK THE WEBSITE TO VIEW THE THEN-CURRENT AGREEMENT.

  1. Creator Warranties. When using the Services as a Creator, you represent and warrant that:
  1. You own all rights in and to Your Content (as applicable) and that you have the right to grant the rights described in this Agreement;
  2. You have paid and will pay in full any fees, royalties or other payments that are due or may become due in connection with the use of Your Content by the End User or any third party;
  3. Your agreement to this Agreement and the provision of any services hereunder does not violate any agreement that you may have with any third party;
  4. Your Content does not infringe, misappropriate or otherwise use without authorization the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, moral rights or other legal rights of any third party, or violate any law, regulation or court order;
  5. Your Content does not contain any third-party intellectual property or other materials unless you have the permission from the rights holder;
  6. You do not offer the following content or services: (i) for any other third party that is the subject of any criminal action, or that is involved in, connected with or promotes illegal or unlawful activity, violence or hate speech; or (ii) that disparage or defame any person, entity, brand or business;
  7. You covenant that any and all of Your Content, including but not limited to Content developed in connection with Requests and/or other digital and/or social media postings, communications or statements effected by or on behalf of Creator hereunder, will be effected in a manner that complies with applicable laws, rules, regulations and guidelines (including the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising – https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/attachments/press-releases/ftc-publishes-final-guides-governing-endorsements-testimonials/091005revisedendorsementguides.pdf), as well as the rules, regulations and policies of each applicable digital and/or social media platform, including with respect to disclosures necessary to clearly and conspicuously indicate to consumers that you have received consideration in exchange therefor, and any Governing Body (as defined below);
  8. You will comply with all rules, regulations and requirements of any union or guild having jurisdiction over Creator, including by making any payments (including health and pension payments) required by any union or guild in respect of such individuals;
  9. You are solely responsible for complying with, and ensuring that the terms of this Agreement and your acts and omissions hereunder comply with, any name, image and likeness (“NIL”) laws, rules, regulations, policies, guidelines or other requirements (“NIL Requirements”) or any other laws, rules, regulations, policies, guidelines or requirements applicable to you, or to which you are otherwise bound (e.g., promulgated by your academic institution, such institution’s athletic conference, and/or such institution’s national athletic association (collectively, “Governing Body”)); and
  10. You agree that this Agreement creates an independent contractor relationship and it is your and Elevate’s express intent that the relationship be interpreted and held to be that of an independent contractor for all purposes. You agree that you are not a joint venturer, franchisee, partner, agent or employee of Elevate, and you will not represent yourself as such.
  1. Payments to Creator.
  1. As a Creator, you have the ability to make offerings available on the Services, including, but not limited to, subscriptions automatically renewing on a monthly basis. Elevate handles payments issues, such as fraud, chargebacks, and resolution of payment disputes with End Users. We try to provide timely access to the revenue that you have earned through Elevate, but you may occasionally experience delays in accessing any such revenue. We may also block or withhold access to your revenue for violations of this Agreement or other policies, or for compliance reasons, including collecting tax reporting information. When this happens, Elevate will do its best to communicate the reason to you promptly. If you have questions about access to revenue being blocked or withheld, please reach out to us at help@myelevatedaccess.com. In order to protect Creators, we may block End Users’ payments if we believe them to be fraudulent. If your Account balance becomes negative, we reserve the right to recover those amounts from future payments of revenue.  
  2. For each credit used by an End User to access Your Content, $1 will be allocated as revenue attributable to Your Content (“Your Allocated Revenues”).  For example, if you price access to a particular piece of Your Content at 7 credits, Your Allocated Revenues for an End User’s election to access such content will be $7.00.  Elevate shall then provide to each Creator sixty percent (60%) of all of Your Allocated Revenues and Elevate shall retain forty percent (40%).  
  3. Each Creator must register with the third-party payment provider selected by Elevate, which Elevate may change in its sole discretion. Creators may not use a payment provider other than the one selected by Elevate. Each Creator must provide the payment provider any information required in order to receive payments via the payment provider, e.g., information about the bank account that the Creator owns at a regulated financial institution. Any payments due to Creator from Elevate will be made via the payment provider. If available, Creator may transfer funds from its Account to Creator’s bank account by submitting a payment request. Creator’s request will be processed by the payment provider. If not available, Elevate will submit the payment request, for processing by the payment provider. In addition, Elevate may, in its sole discretion, transfer funds from an Account to a Creator’s bank account especially in the case of account inactivity. If a Creator does not provide the payment provider with all required information, a Creator may not be able to receive the payments due to such Creator. Elevate will not be responsible for any damages, delays, losses, costs, expenses, or liabilities arising out of or in connection with Creator’s inability to receive payments as a result of Creator’s failure to provide such information. Creator acknowledges and agrees that Elevate does not operate, own, or control the payment provider; and Creator’s use of any payment provider is subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policies of that payment provider. Creator agrees that Elevate is not responsible for any delay, failure, damage, or liability caused by a payment provider, any other third party, a force majeure, or Creator’s failure to timely or properly set up an account with the payment provider or otherwise provide requested information for payment. Elevate will be responsible for fees, costs, and expenses incurred in connection with the payment provider selected by Elevate. Unless otherwise agreed by Elevate in writing, Creator acknowledges and agrees that Creator is solely responsible for any other fees, costs, and expenses, including with respect to Creator’s bank account and foreign exchange fees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Elevate, in its sole discretion, believes that any fraud, money laundering, or other violation of law or regulation is taking place on or in connection with our Services, Creator acknowledges and agrees that Elevate may withhold, delay, or seek repayment of any payments we believe, in our sole discretion, are related to the violation.
  4. In order to satisfy our tax obligations, Elevate may collect tax identification information from Creators, and, in certain circumstances, report this information and earnings to tax authorities, as legally required. For example, if you are located in the United States or are a United States citizen who has earned $600 or more, Elevate is required to issue you a Form 1099-K at year end. For purposes of Forms 1099-Ks, Elevate treats all Creator earnings as earned for the sales of goods or services. As a Creator, you are responsible for reporting any income, withholding, or other earnings-based taxes which may be due as a result of money you have earned on the Elevate Properties.  We are additionally responsible for a number of transactional taxes across the world. These include, but are not limited to, Valued Added Tax (“VAT”), Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) and other local service or sales taxes in non-US locations (collectively referred to as “VAT”), as well as Sales Tax (as defined below). In locales where we are required to collect transaction tax from patrons, invoices presented to and payments processed from patrons will include the tier or custom payment amount plus the applicable tax. Applicable tax will be charged in addition to the price of a relevant transaction based upon the benefits that you indicate that you will be offering to End Users. We will use the benefit categories that you assign to your subscription or offering to calculate, collect, and remit the applicable taxes. Creators are responsible for ensuring that all of their benefits are properly categorized using good faith efforts and to the best of their abilities. Once settled, the tax amount will be automatically deducted from Creators’ earnings, and we will remit directly to the applicable taxing authority. A record of the transaction tax portion of the payment will be available on your earnings details page. Creators agree that they will provide us with any information and documents for accurate tax determination and compliance, where and as we request, or as otherwise required. 
  1. End User Payments, Fees and Subscription Terms.
  1. Subscriptions. To enjoy full access to the Elevate Properties, you need to sign up for a subscription. A subscription starts on the date that you sign up for a subscription and submit payment via a valid Payment Method (defined below) or reactivate a pre-existing subscription. Unless we otherwise communicate a different time period to you at the time of sign up or otherwise (such as a multi-month commitment plan), each billing cycle is one month in length (a “Subscription Cycle”). Your Elevate subscription automatically renews each month, and we will automatically bill the monthly subscription fee to your Payment Method each month, until your subscription is cancelled or terminated. For example, if you purchase your Elevate subscription on January 5, your subscription will automatically renew on February 5 (as further explained in the “Subscription Cycles” subsection below). You must provide us with a current, valid, accepted method of payment (“Payment Method”). We may update the accepted Payment Methods from time to time.
  2. Subscriptions Obtained Through Third Parties. If you obtain one or more subscriptions via a third party (e.g., an App Store), each subscription is also subject to the third party’s terms, and the provisions in this Agreement concerning subscription purchase, billing, cancellation/refunds, and payment do not apply to that subscription to the extent this Agreement conflicts with the applicable third party’s terms regarding subscription purchase, billing, cancellation/refunds and payments. For subscriptions obtained via a third party, your billing relationship will be directly with the applicable third party. Any fees charged for your subscriptions to the Services will be billed by the applicable third party using the payment information you have provided to such third party. To cancel a subscription obtained via a third party, please follow the cancellation instructions set out by the applicable third party. You can visit our FAQs available at www.myelevatedaccess.com for instructions on how to cancel a subscription obtained via a third party.
  3. Use of Credits. Depending on the subscription plan you choose and purchase, you will be allotted a certain number of credits to be used solely to access Content from Creators each Subscription Cycle. You can choose how you use your credits across the various Creators available to you. The Creators reserve the right to adjust the number of credits required to access their Content.  

Credits expire at the end of each Subscription Cycle, meaning that any credits an End User does not use during the applicable Subscription Cycle will not roll over into future months, unless we expressly communicate otherwise. If your subscription is canceled or terminated, your unused credits will expire immediately. There will be no refund or payment for any unused amount. When your Subscription Cycle automatically renews for the next month, you will automatically receive your new allotment of credits. If you have any questions about how to use your credits, please contact us at help@myelevatedaccess.com.

Credits have no cash value or any other value outside of the Elevate Properties and are not redeemable for cash. For the avoidance of doubt, the credits do not operate or serve as stored value facilities in any way. You may not transfer, trade, gift or otherwise exchange Elevate credits.

  1. RECURRING BILLING. BY INITIATING A SUBSCRIPTION WITH ELEVATE, YOU AUTHORIZE US TO CHARGE YOU FOR YOUR INITIAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD AND A RECURRING MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION FEE AT THE THEN CURRENT RATE, WHICH MAY CHANGE FROM TIME TO TIME. YOU AUTHORIZE US TO CHARGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD FOR SUCH VARYING AMOUNTS, WHICH MAY BE BILLED MONTHLY IN ONE OR MORE CHARGES. YOU ALSO AUTHORIZE US TO CHARGE YOU ANY OTHER FEES YOU MAY INCUR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE ELEVATE PROPERTIES, SUCH AS ANY APPLICABLE SIGN-UP FEE, TAXES AND CANCELLATION OR LATE FEES, AS FURTHER EXPLAINED BELOW. NOTE THAT EVEN IF YOU DO NOT USE THE SUBSCRIPTION OR ACCESS THE ELEVATE PROPERTIES AND/OR ANY CREDITS WITH ELEVATE, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUBSCRIPTION FEES UNTIL YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, OR IT IS OTHERWISE TERMINATED.
  2. SUBSCRIPTION CYCLE. WHEN YOU SIGN UP AND PURCHASE YOUR ELEVATE SUBSCRIPTION, YOUR FIRST SUBSCRIPTION CYCLE WILL BE BILLED IMMEDIATELY. UNLESS WE EXPRESSLY COMMUNICATE OTHERWISE, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW EACH MONTH AND YOU WILL BE BILLED ON THE SAME DATE EACH MONTH. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE TIMING OF OUR BILLING (AND IF WE DO, WE WILL MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE AMOUNTS WE CHARGE, AS APPROPRIATE). IN THE EVENT YOUR PAID SUBSCRIPTION BEGAN ON A DAY NOT CONTAINED IN A GIVEN MONTH, WE MAY BILL YOUR PAYMENT METHOD ON A DAY IN THE APPLICABLE MONTH OR SUCH OTHER DAY AS WE DEEM APPROPRIATE. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU STARTED YOUR ELEVATE SUBSCRIPTION ON MARCH 31, YOUR NEXT PAYMENT DATE IS LIKELY TO BE APRIL 30, AND YOUR PAYMENT METHOD WOULD BE BILLED ON THAT DATE.
  3. Taxes. The payments required under Section 5.1 of this Agreement do not include any Sales Tax that may be due in connection with the Services provided under this Agreement. If Elevate determines it has a legal obligation to collect a Sales Tax from you in connection with this Agreement, Elevate shall collect such Sales Tax in addition to the payments required under Section 5.1 of this Agreement. If any Services, or payments for any Services, under the Agreement are subject to any Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to Elevate, you will be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and you will indemnify Elevate for any liability or expense Elevate may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon Elevate’s request, you will provide it with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes. For purposes of this section, “Sales Tax” shall mean any sales or use tax and any other tax measured by sales proceeds that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.
  4. Refunds; Disputes. Generally, our fees are nonrefundable unless we specifically communicate otherwise at the time of purchase. WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS FOR ANY PRIOR MONTH’S UNUSED CREDITS. You must notify us in writing within seven (7) days after receiving your credit card statement, if you dispute any of our charges on that statement or such dispute will be deemed waived. Billing disputes should be notified to the following email address: help@myelevatedaccess.com.
  5. PRICE CHANGESWE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ADJUST PRICING AT ANY TIME. UNLESS WE EXPRESSLY COMMUNICATE OTHERWISE, ANY PRICE CHANGES TO YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL TAKE EFFECT ON YOUR NEXT BILLING CYCLE UPON NOTICE COMMUNICATED THROUGH A POSTING ON THE ELEVATE WEBSITE OR MOBILE APPLICABLE OR SUCH OTHER MEANS AS WE MAY DEEM APPROPRIATE FROM TIME TO TIME, SUCH AS EMAIL. IF YOU DO NOT CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, YOU WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED THESE NEW FEES.
  6. PAYMENT METHODSYOU MAY EDIT YOUR PAYMENT METHOD INFORMATION BY LOGGING ONTO THE SERVICES AND EDITING IT IN YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS. IF A PAYMENT IS NOT SUCCESSFULLY SETTLED DUE TO EXPIRATION, INSUFFICIENT FUNDS OR OTHERWISE, YOU NONETHELESS WILL REMAIN RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY UNCOLLECTED AMOUNTS AND AUTHORIZE US TO CONTINUE BILLING THE PAYMENT METHOD OR ANY OTHER PAYMENT METHOD YOU HAVE PROVIDED, AS IT MAY BE UPDATED, INCLUDING IN THE EVENT YOU ATTEMPT TO CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT, REACTIVATE THE UNSETTLED ACCOUNT OR SIGN UP FOR A NEW ACCOUNT. THIS MAY RESULT IN A CHANGE TO YOUR PAYMENT BILLING DATES. IF WE CANNOT CHARGE YOUR ACCOUNT, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT, BUT ARE NOT OBLIGATED, TO TERMINATE YOUR ACCESS TO OUR SITE OR ANY PORTION THEREOF.
  7. CANCELLATION OF SUBSCRIPTIONUNLESS WE COMMUNICATE OTHERWISE, YOU MAY TERMINATE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AT ANY TIME BEFORE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION RENEWS BY GOING INTO YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS ON THE SERVICES AND LETTING US KNOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO CANCEL. UNLESS WE COMMUNICATE OTHERWISE, FOLLOWING ANY CANCELLATION YOU WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR SUBSCRIPTION THROUGH THE END OF YOUR CURRENT PREPAID SUBSCRIPTION CYCLE, UNLESS YOU CANCEL AND RECEIVE A REFUND IN WHICH CASE YOUR ACCESS WILL BE TERMINATED IMMEDIATELY. IF YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION OR IT IS TERMINATED FOR ANY REASON, YOU WILL LOSE ACCESS TO ALL CONTENT, CREDITS OR FEATURES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SUBSCRIPTION.
  1. Relationship of the Parties. Any agreements created between an End User and a Creator are not binding on us. We are not liable for, or obligated to enforce, any agreements between an End User and a Creator, including with respect to any Content to be provided by a Creator. You will not consider Elevate, nor will Elevate be construed as, a party to such transactions, whether or not Elevate receives some form of remuneration in connection with the transaction, and Elevate will not be liable for any costs or damages arising out of or related to such transaction. No contractual obligations are created with us with respect to such transactions or agreements, and in the event that you have a dispute with one or more Users, you release Elevate (and our officers, directors, agents, investors, subsidiaries, and employees) from any and all claims, demands, or damages (actual or consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.
  2. Responsibility for Content.
  1. Types of Content. You acknowledge that all information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, tags and other materials accessible through the Services (“Content”), including the Elevate Properties, is the sole responsibility of the party from whom such Content originated. This means that you, and not Elevate, are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload, post, e-mail, transmit or otherwise share or make available (“Make Available”) through the Elevate Properties (“Your Content”), and that you and other Users of the Elevate Properties, and not Elevate, are similarly responsible for all Content they Make Available through the Elevate Properties (“User Content”).  
  2. No Obligation to Pre-Screen Content. You acknowledge that Elevate has no obligation to pre-screen Content (including, but not limited to, User Content), although Elevate reserves the right in its sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse or remove any Content. By entering into the Agreement, you hereby provide your irrevocable consent to such monitoring. You acknowledge and agree that you have no expectation of privacy concerning the transmission of Your Content, including without limitation messages that you send using the Services. In the event that Elevate pre-screens, refuses or removes any Content, you acknowledge that Elevate will do so for Elevate’s benefit, not yours. Without limiting the foregoing, Elevate shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the Agreement or is otherwise objectionable.
  3. Storage. Unless expressly agreed to by Elevate in writing elsewhere, Elevate has no obligation to store any of Your Content that you Make Available on the Elevate Properties. Elevate has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or accuracy of any Content, including Your Content; the failure to store, transmit or receive transmission of Content; or the security, privacy, storage, or transmission of other communications originating with or involving use of the Elevate Properties. Certain Services may enable you to specify the level at which such Services restrict access to Your Content. You are solely responsible for applying the appropriate level of access to Your Content. If you do not choose, the system may default to its most permissive setting. You agree that Elevate retains the right to create reasonable limits on Elevate’s use and storage of the Content, including Your Content, such as limits on file size, storage space, processing capacity, and similar limits described in the web pages accompanying the Services and as otherwise determined by Elevate in its sole discretion.

Please remember that other Users may search for, see, use, modify and reproduce any of Your Content that you submit to any “public” area of the Elevate Properties. You warrant that the holder of any worldwide intellectual property right, including moral rights, in Your Content, has completely and effectively waived all such rights and validly and irrevocably granted to you the right to grant the license stated above.

Those who access or use the Elevate Properties from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.
  2. Arbitration Agreement. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires that you and Elevate arbitrate disputes against one another. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS SECTION 18 CONTAINS PROVISIONS GOVERNING HOW DISPUTES THAT YOU AND ELEVATE HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER WILL BE RESOLVED. AMONG OTHER THINGS, THIS SECTION 18 INCLUDES AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE WHICH REQUIRES, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND ELEVATE BE RESOLVED BY BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION. THIS SECTION 18 ALSO CONTAINS A CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION 18 CAREFULLY.
  1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and Elevate agree that any dispute, claim, disagreements arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Services or the Agreement and prior versions of the Agreement, including claims and disputes that arose between us before the effective date of this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that: (1) you and Elevate may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; and (2) you or Elevate may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, “Dispute” will also include disputes that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of the Agreement as well as claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.  
  2. Informal Dispute ResolutionThere might be instances when a Dispute arises between you and Elevate. If that occurs, Elevate is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. You and Elevate agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, lowcost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and Elevate therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in small claims court if a party so elects), we will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference, in a good faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you will also participate in the conference.

The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice”), which shall occur within 45 days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. Notice to Elevate that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to help@myelevatedaccess.com or regular mail to our offices located at Elevated Access, Inc., 13522 Navajo, Suite 100, Tustin, CA 92782. The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, email address associated with your account (if you have one); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and email address of your counsel, if any; and (3) a description of your Dispute.

The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree. In the time between a party receiving the Notice and the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall prohibit the parties from engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating party’s Dispute. Engaging in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference is a condition precedent and requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference process required by this section.

  1. Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND ELEVATE HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Elevate are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in the subsection entitled “Applicability of Arbitration Agreement” above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
  2. Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized ReliefYOU AND ELEVATE AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THE SUBSECTION ENTITLED “BATCH ARBITRATION”, EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the party’s individual claim. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to, nor shall it, affect the terms and conditions under the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a court decides by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that the limitations of this subsection, “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and Elevate agree that that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in the State of California. All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This subsection does not prevent you or Elevate from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
  3. Rules and Forum. The Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce; and notwithstanding any other provision herein with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any arbitration proceedings. If the Informal Dispute Resolution Process described above does not resolve satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after receipt of your Notice, you and Elevate agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this section of this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are currently available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf.

A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Request”). The Request must include: (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, email address of the party seeking arbitration and the account username (if applicable) as well as the email address associated with any applicable account; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, goodfaith calculation of the amount in controversy in United States Dollars; (4) a statement certifying completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution process as described above; and (5) evidence that the requesting party has paid any necessary filing fees in connection with such arbitration.

If the party requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Request shall also include counsel’s name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address. Such counsel must also sign the Request. By signing the Request, counsel certifies to the best of counsel’s knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that: (1) the Request is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (2) the claims, defenses and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (3) the factual and damages contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery.  

Unless you and Elevate otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed in the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration” is triggered, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any AAA fees and costs will be solely as set forth in the applicable AAA Rules.  

You and Elevate agree that all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings shall be kept confidential and shall not be shared with anyone except the parties’ attorneys, accountants, or business advisors, and then subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential.

  1. Arbitrator. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days of delivery of the Request, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration” is triggered, the AAA will appoint the arbitrator for each batch.
  2. Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including, without limitation, disputes arising out of or related to the interpretation or application of the Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement, except for the following: (1) all Disputes arising out of or relating to the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” including any claim that all or part of the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief” is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or that such subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief” has been breached, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (2) except as expressly contemplated in the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration,” all Disputes about the payment of arbitration fees shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (3) all Disputes about whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; and (4) all Disputes about which version of the Arbitration Agreement applies shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties, except as expressly provided in the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration.” The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute. The arbitrator shall 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 award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
  3. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Dispute or the relief sought in the Request was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). If you or Elevate need to invoke the authority of a court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration, then the party that obtains an order compelling arbitration in such action shall have the right to collect from the other party its reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in securing an order compelling arbitration. The prevailing party in any court action relating to whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration, including the Informal Dispute Resolution Process, is entitled to recover their reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
  4. Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and Elevate agree that in the event that there are one hundred (100) or more individual Requests of a substantially similar nature filed against Elevate by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a thirty (30) day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), the AAA shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Requests per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 100 Requests left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Requests); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”).

All parties agree that Requests are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise the AAA, and the AAA shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by Elevate.

You and Elevate agree to cooperate in good faith with the AAA to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Requests, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings.

This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision.
