O. Arbitration Agreement:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH CATERCURATOR AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF. THIS SECTION O OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE REFERRED TO AS THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”.
(i) Scope: You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Platform as a User, to any advertising or marketing communications regarding CaterCurator or the Platform, to any products or services sold or distributed through the Platform that you received as a User of the Platform, or to any aspect of your relationship or transactions with CaterCurator as a User of our Platform will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (a) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; and (b) you or CaterCurator 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). Any and all disputes may include, but are not limited to (1) claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between you and Catercurator, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; (2) claims that arose before these Terms or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to advertising); and (3) claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.
CASES FILED AND MAY BE FILED IN THE FUTURE AGAINST CATERCURATOR—THAT ATTEMPT TO ASSERT CLASS ACTION CLAIMS, AND BY ACCEPTING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT YOU ELECT NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN SUCH CASES.
IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH CATERCURATOR, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY SUCH CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUIT. INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST THE COMPANY IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR.
(ii) Rules and Forum: This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act in all respects. If you have any dispute with us, you agree that you will try to resolve your dispute directly with us before taking any formal action, by contacting us at the address or email address set forth in the “Contact Us” section below. When you contact us, you must provide a brief, written description of the dispute and your contact information. If you have an account with us, you must include the email address associated with your account. Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, you and CaterCurator agree to use good faith efforts to resolve any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with each other. You and CaterCurator agree to engage in good faith discussions before initiating a lawsuit or arbitration and understand that good faith discussions are a precondition of initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of sixty days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims (except for intellectual property and small claims court claims), as long as the party agrees with the terms set forth. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under its rules and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com (under the Rules/Clauses tab) or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitration fees will be governed by JAMS rules. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, CaterCurator will pay the additional cost. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, CaterCurator will pay the fees invoiced by JAMS, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses. You are responsible for your own attorneys' fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration will take place in the orange county, Florida, unless you and we both agree to another location or telephonic arbitration. For individuals residing outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in Orange County, Florida, United States, and you and Catercurator agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Orange County, Florida in order to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
(iii) Powers: The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating 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 arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and CaterCurator. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other proceedings or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. 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 this Agreement (including this Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator will issue a written statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on you and CaterCurator.
(iv) Waiver of Jury Trial: YOU AND CATERCURATOR WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND RECEIVE A JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL. You and the CaterCurator are instead electing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration (except for intellectual property and small claims court claims). There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.
(v) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions: YOU AND CATERCURATOR AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RESOLVE CLAIMS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or dispute, neither you nor CaterCurator is entitled to arbitration of such claim or dispute. Instead, all such claims and disputes will then be resolved in a court as set forth under the “Exclusive Venue” section (P).
(vi) 30-Day Right to Opt Out: You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you do so, neither you nor CaterCurator can force the other to arbitrate as a result of this Agreement. To opt out, you must notify CaterCurator in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your CaterCurator username (if any), the email address you used to set up your CaterCurator account (if you have one), and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. You must send your opt-out notice to: info@catercurator.com. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may have entered into with us or may enter into in the future with us. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SUPERSEDE, AMEND, OR MODIFY THE TERMS OF ANY SEPARATE AGREEMENT(S) BETWEEN YOU AND CATERCURATOR RELATING TO YOUR WORK AS AN EMPLOYEE, THIRD-PARTY OR INDEPENDENT SERVICE PROVIDER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY INDEPENDENT AGREEMENT GOVERNING YOUR SERVICES.
(vii) Modifications: Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if CaterCurator makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice of to CaterCurator.
(vii) Survival: This Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall survive any termination of your use of the Platform.
P. Exclusive Venue:
To the extent the parties are permitted under this Agreement to initiate litigation in a court, both you and CaterCurator agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Agreement will be litigated exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County if you are a California citizen or resident, and in the United States District Court for the District in which you reside if you are not a California citizen or resident.

CATERCURATOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DELAY OR FAILURE IN PERFORMANCE RESULTING FROM CAUSES BEYOND CATERCURATOR’S REASONABLE CONTROL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DELAYS AND OTHER PROBLEMS INHERENT IN THE USE OF THE INTERNET AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS. CATERCURATOR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DELAYS, DELIVERY FAILURES, OR OTHER DAMAGE RESULTING FROM SUCH PROBLEMS.
CATERCURATOR RELIES UPON FOOD PROVIDERS TO PROVIDE ACCURATE ALLERGEN AND DIETARY INFORMATION AND GENERAL PRODUCT SAFETY. CATERCURATOR DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE INFORMATION ACCESSIBLE THROUGH THE PLATFORM IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, CURRENT, OR ERROR-FREE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, MENUS, NUTRITIONAL AND ALLERGEN INFORMATION, PHOTOS, FOOD QUALITY OR DESCRIPTIONS, PRICING, HOURS OF OPERATION, OR REVIEWS.

(ii) Limitation of Liability: TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL CATERCURATOR OR ITS AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE STOCKHOLDERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING PERSONAL INJURY, LOSS OF DATA, REVENUE, PROFITS, REPUTATION, USE, OR OTHER ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE), EVEN IF CATERCURATOR HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF A WARRANTY, CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, OR OTHER ACTION THAT IN ANY MANNER ARISES OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF, INABILITY TO USE, PERFORMANCE OF, OR SERVICES PROVIDED ON OR THROUGH THE PLATFORM OR BY CATERCURATOR. CATERCURATOR ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES TO, OR VIRUSES THAT MAY INFECT, YOUR COMPUTER EQUIPMENT OR OTHER PROPERTY ON ACCOUNT OF YOUR ACCESS TO, USE OF, BROWSING OF, OR DOWNLOADING OF ANY MATERIAL FROM THE PLATFORM. CATERCURATOR ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY IN ANY MANNER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY INFORMATION, CONTENT, PRODUCTS, SERVICES, OR MATERIAL AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE PLATFORM, AS WELL AS ANY THIRD PARTY WEBSITE PAGES OR ADDITIONAL WEBSITES LINKED TO THIS PLATFORM, FOR ANY ERROR, DEFAMATION, LIBEL, SLANDER, OMISSION, FALSEHOOD, OBSCENITY, PORNOGRAPHY, PROFANITY, DANGER, INACCURACY CONTAINED THEREIN, OR HARM TO PERSON OR PROPERTY CAUSED THEREBY. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. IN NO EVENT SHALL CATERCURATOR’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES AND CAUSES OF ACTION, WHETHER IN WARRANTY, CONTRACT, OR TORT EXCEED (A) AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE FOOD SERVICES YOU HAVE PURCHASED THROUGH THE PLATFORM TO WHICH THE CLAIM RELATES, IF ANY, OR (B) IF THE CLAIM DOES NOT RELATE TO A FOOD SERVICE, $100. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW.
YOU AND CATERCURATOR AGREE THAT THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE MATERIAL, BARGAINED-FOR BASES OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT THEY HAVE BEEN TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN DETERMINING THE CONSIDERATION TO BE GIVEN BY EACH PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE DECISION BY EACH PARTY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. YOU AND CATERCURATOR AGREE THAT THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE FAIR AND REASONABLE. EXCEPT AS MAY BE OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USING THE PLATFORM.
