If You do not agree to this Agreement, please stop using the Services.
Other documents referenced here may also bind Customer’s use of the Services, including the Community Guidelines below.

Automatic Renewal

If you subscribe to a Premium Account (defined in Section 2) or other subscriptions we make available to you, then your subscription will be automatically renewed on a monthly, yearly, or any other basis depending on the subscription you select at Vizcom’s then-current subscription fee for the subscribed services unless you opt out of the auto-renewal in accordance with the subscription terms in Section 5 below.

Important Information about Arbitration, Consents, and Updates to the Agreement

Please be aware that Section 16 of these Terms contains provisions governing how disputes that you and Vizcom have against each other will be resolved, including without limitation, any disputes that arose or were asserted prior to the effective date of the Agreement. Section 16 contains, among other things, an agreement to arbitrate which requires, with limited exceptions, that all disputes between you and Vizcom be resolved by binding and final arbitration. Unless you opt out of the agreement to arbitrate within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the Agreement:

  • (I) You and Vizcom will only be permitted to pursue disputes or claims and seek relief against the other party on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action or proceeding, and each of us waives our right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

5. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS

5.1 Payment

If you have a Premium Account or register for a subscription, you agree to pay all fees associated with the Premium Account or subscription, including but not limited to any applicable subscription fees (“Subscription Fees”), any service fees imposed by Vizcom, and any other fees posted to your Account (each, as defined herein and collectively, the “Fees”). The total Fees owed by you in connection with a subscription will be presented to you at the time of purchase and available for viewing through the App. You are responsible for selecting your desired subscription option, and you are responsible for payment of the applicable Subscription Fees at the time you elect to create a Premium Account or otherwise select your subscription. All Fees are non-refundable. You may be required to provide your credit card or other accepted payment method (each a “Payment Method”) when you subscribe to the Services or register for a Premium Account. Company reserves the right at any time to change its prices and billing methods, either immediately upon posting on Apps or by e-mail delivery to you.

5.2 AUTOMATIC RENEWAL

Your subscription will continue indefinitely until terminated in accordance with the Agreement. After your initial subscription period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically commence following the end of such period (each a “Renewal Commencement Date”) and continue for an additional equivalent period at Vizcom’s then-current price for such subscription. You agree that your account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless you cancel your subscription at least one (1) day prior to the Renewal Commencement Date via your Account page. If you do not wish for your subscription to renew automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your subscription, please log in to your Account and change or terminate your subscription via the Account page. If you cancel your subscription, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the Subscription Fee paid for the then-current subscription period. By subscribing, you authorize Vizcom to charge your Payment Method now, and again at the beginning of any subsequent subscription period. Upon renewal of your subscription, if Vizcom does not receive payment from you, (i) you agree to pay all amounts due on your Account upon demand and/or (ii) you agree that Vizcom may either terminate or suspend your subscription and continue to attempt to charge your Payment Method until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your account will be activated and, for purposes of automatic renewal, your new subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received).

5.3 Cancellation Period

If you are a consumer who is a resident of the EU or the UK, you have a legal right to cancel your subscription until 14 days after the day on which the subscription was entered into. This means that during that period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to continue receiving the Services, you can notify us of your decision to cancel your subscription and receive a refund. Advice about your legal right to cancel your subscription terms is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office. To cancel a subscription, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is to cancel the subscription on your Account page. If you cancel your subscription, we will refund you the price paid for the subscription.

5.4 Taxes

The payments required under Section 5 of this Agreement do not include any Sales Tax that may be due in connection with the Services provided under this Agreement. If Vizcom determines it has a legal obligation to collect a Sales Tax from you in connection with this Agreement, Vizcom shall collect such Sales Tax in addition to the payments required under Section 5 of this Agreement. If any services or payments for any services, under this Agreement are subject to any Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to Vizcom, 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 Vizcom for any liability or expense Vizcom may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon Vizcom’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, use, excise, services, or other tax measured by the value of sales.

5.5 Payment Processor

Vizcom uses a third-party payment processor (“Payment Processor”) as the third-party service provider for payment services. By using the Services, you agree to be bound by our Payment Processor’s Privacy Policy, and hereby consent and authorize Vizcom and our Payment Processor to share any information and payment instructions you provide with third-party service provider(s) to the minimum extent required to complete your transactions. By making a purchase through the Services, you also agree to be bound by our Payment Processor’s services agreement.

YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY PAYMENT METHOD USED TO PAY ANY AMOUNTS OWED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES.

5.6 Free Trials and Other Promotions

Any free trial or other promotion that provides Premium Account features or any other additional features on the Services must be used within the specified time of the trial. At the end of the trial period, these additional features expire and any further use of the features is prohibited unless you pay the applicable subscription fee.

You assume all risks associated with the use of your User Content, including any reliance on its accuracy, completeness, or usefulness by others, or any disclosure of your User Content that personally identifies you or any third party. You hereby represent and warrant that your User Content does not violate Section 7. You further represent that you own and/or have a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive right (including any moral rights) and license to use, license, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, derive revenue or other remuneration from, and communicate to the public, perform, and display your User Content (in whole or in part) worldwide and/or to incorporate it into other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed for the full term of any worldwide intellectual property right that may exist in your User Content. You may not represent or imply to others that your User Content is in any way provided, sponsored, or endorsed by Vizcom. Because you alone are responsible for your User Content, you may expose yourself to liability if, for example, your User Content violates Section 7.

6.2 Designs


You are solely responsible for your use of your Designs created through the Services. For Free Accounts, Vizcom owns all rights to the Designs generated through use of the Services. For Premium Accounts, you own all rights to the Designs generated through use of the Services, subject to the license granted below. You assume all risks associated with your use of your Designs, including any potential copyright infringement claims from third parties or any disclosure of your Designs that personally identifies you or any third party.

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 User Content. In the event that Vizcom pre-screens, refuses, or removes any Content, you acknowledge that Vizcom will do so for Vizcom’s benefit, not yours. Without limiting the foregoing, Vizcom shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the Agreement or is otherwise objectionable.

6.5 Enforcement

We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to review any User Content and Designs and to investigate and/or take appropriate action against you if you, in our sole discretion, violate Section 7 or any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise create liability for us or any other person. Such action may include removing or modifying your User Content and Designs, terminating your Account in accordance with Section 13, and/or reporting you to law enforcement authorities.

6.6 Feedback

If you provide Vizcom with any feedback or suggestions regarding the Services ("Feedback"), you hereby assign to Vizcom all rights in such Feedback and agree that Vizcom shall have the right to use and fully exploit such Feedback and related information in any manner it deems appropriate. Vizcom will treat any Feedback you provide to Vizcom as non-confidential and non-proprietary. You agree that you will not submit to Vizcom any Feedback that you consider to be confidential or proprietary.

6.7 Storage

Unless expressly agreed to by Vizcom in writing elsewhere, Vizcom has no obligation to store any of your User Content or Designs. Vizcom has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or accuracy of any Content, including your User Content and Designs; the failure to store, transmit, or receive the transmission of Content; or the security, privacy, storage, or transmission of other communications originating with or involving the use of Vizcom Apps. Certain Services may enable you to specify the level at which such Services restrict access to your User Content and Designs. You are solely responsible for applying the appropriate level of access to your User Content or Designs. If you do not choose, the system may default to its most permissive setting. You agree that Vizcom retains the right to create reasonable limits on Vizcom’s use and storage of the Content, including your User Content and Designs, such as limits on file size, storage space, processing capacity, and similar limits described on the Site and as otherwise determined by Vizcom in its sole discretion. Vizcom is not obligated to backup any User Content or Designs, and your User Content and Designs may be deleted at any time without prior notice. You are solely responsible for creating and maintaining your own backup copies of your User Content and Designs if you desire.

FOR USERS IN THE EU, COMPANY DOES NOT IN ANY WAY SEEK TO EXCLUDE OR LIMIT LIABILITY FOR (i) DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY COMPANY’S NEGLIGENCE; (ii) FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION; OR (iii) ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED BY ENGLISH OR EU LAW.

15. INTERNATIONAL USERS AND PROVISIONS

The Services can be accessed from countries around the world and may contain references to services and content that are not available in your country. These references do not imply that Vizcom intends to announce such services or content in your country. The Services are controlled and offered by Vizcom from its facilities in the United States of America. Vizcom makes no representations that the Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Services from other countries do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law. The following provisions shall apply only if you are located in the countries listed below:

15.1 United Kingdom

A third party who is not a party to the Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any provision of the Agreement, but this does not affect any right or remedy of such third party which exists or is available apart from that Act.

15.2 Germany

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12 (Limitation of Liability), Vizcom is also not liable for acts of simple negligence (unless they cause injuries to or death of any person), except when they are caused by a breach of any substantial contractual obligations (vertragswesentliche Pflichten).

16. ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

Please read the following arbitration agreement in this section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires that you and Vizcom arbitrate disputes against one another.

Dispute Resolution

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS SECTION 16 CONTAINS PROVISIONS GOVERNING HOW DISPUTES THAT YOU AND VIZCOM HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER WILL BE RESOLVED. AMONG OTHER THINGS, THIS SECTION 16 INCLUDES AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE WHICH REQUIRES, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND VIZCOM BE RESOLVED BY BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION. THIS SECTION 16 ALSO CONTAINS A CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION 16 CAREFULLY.

16.1 Applicability of Arbitration Agreement

Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and Vizcom agree that any dispute, claim, or disagreement 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 Terms, including claims and disputes that arose between us before the effective date of these Terms (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that:

  1. You and Vizcom may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; and

  2. You or Vizcom 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 Terms as well as claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.

16.2 Informal Dispute Resolution

There may be instances when a Dispute arises between you and Vizcom. If that occurs, Vizcom is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. You and Vizcom agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low‐cost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and Vizcom 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 also agree to 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 in writing. Notice to Vizcom that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to contact@vizcom.co or regular mail to our offices located at 1950 Cambridge Dr, Mountain View, CA 94043. The Notice must include:

  1. Your name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address associated with your account (if you have one);

  2. The name, telephone number, mailing address, and e‐mail 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.

16.2 Informal Dispute Resolution

There may be instances when a Dispute arises between you and Vizcom. If that occurs, Vizcom is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. You and Vizcom agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low‐cost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and Vizcom 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 also agree to 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 in writing. Notice to Vizcom that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to contact@vizcom.co or regular mail to our offices located at 1950 Cambridge Dr, Mountain View, CA 94043. The Notice must include:

  1. Your name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address associated with your account (if you have one);

  2. The name, telephone number, mailing address, and e‐mail 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.

16.3 Waiver of Jury Trial

YOU AND VIZCOM 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 Vizcom 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.

16.4 Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief

YOU AND VIZCOM AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN SUBSECTION 16.9 (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 16.9 (Batch Arbitration) 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 Vizcom 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 San Francisco, California. All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This subsection does not prevent you or Vizcom from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.

16.5 Rules and Forum

These Terms evidence 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 Notice, you and Vizcom agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or request for relief under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other disputes shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any JAMS fees and costs will be solely as set forth in the applicable JAMS rules.

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, e‐mail 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, good‐faith 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 otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed in subsection 16.9 (Batch Arbitration) is triggered, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. Subject to the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

You and Vizcom 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.

16.6 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 JAMS 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 JAMS will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the applicable JAMS rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under subsection 16.9 (Batch Arbitration) is triggered, JAMS will appoint the arbitrator for each batch.

16.7 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.

  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.

16.8 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 Vizcom 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.

16.9 Batch Arbitration

To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and Vizcom agree that in the event that there are one hundred (100) or more individual Requests of a substantially similar nature filed against Vizcom 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), JAMS 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 JAMS, and JAMS 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 Vizcom.

You and Vizcom agree to cooperate in good faith with JAMS 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.

16.10 30-Day Right to Opt Out

You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: 1950 Cambridge Dr, Mountain View, CA 94043 within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address you used to set up your Vizcom account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have or may enter in the future with us.

16.11 Invalidity, Expiration

Except as provided in the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief”, 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. You further agree that any Dispute that you have with Vizcom as detailed in this Arbitration Agreement must be initiated via arbitration within the applicable statute of limitations for that claim or controversy, or it will be forever time-barred. Likewise, you agree that all applicable statutes of limitation will apply to such arbitration in the same manner as those statutes of limitation would apply in the applicable court of competent jurisdiction.

16.12 Modification

Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if Vizcom makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will notify you. Unless you reject the change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing to Vizcom at: 1950 Cambridge Dr, Mountain View, CA 94043, your continued access and use of the Services, including the acceptance of products and services offered on or through the Services, following the posting of changes to this Arbitration Agreement constitutes your acceptance of any such changes. Changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement if you have previously agreed to a version of these Terms and did not validly opt out of arbitration. If you reject any change or update to this Arbitration Agreement, and you were bound by an existing agreement to arbitrate Disputes 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, the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms) remain in full force and effect. Vizcom will continue to honor any valid opt-outs of the Arbitration Agreement that you made to a prior version of these Terms.

17.1 Generally

Your relationship to Vizcom is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. This Agreement, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without Vizcom’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. Vizcom may freely assign this Agreement. The terms and conditions set forth in these Agreement shall be binding upon assignees.

17.2 Export

The Services may be subject to U.S. export control laws and may be subject to export or import regulations in other countries.

17.3 Exclusive Venue and Governing Law

To the extent the parties are permitted under this Agreement to initiate litigation in a court, both you and Vizcom agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be litigated exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California. THE TERMS AND ANY ACTION RELATED THERETO WILL BE GOVERNED AND INTERPRETED BY AND UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, CONSISTENT WITH THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

17.5 Entire Agreement

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” means “including without limitation.” If any provision of this Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will be unimpaired, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
