Governing Law & Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Except as otherwise provided in the Arbitration Agreement & Class Action Waiver below, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona, for any dispute not subject to arbitration.
Arbitration Agreement & Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. It requires binding arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes and limits the manner in which you can seek relief.
Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Compire LLC (“Skill Ferry”) agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of the Site or these Terms (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except as set out below. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules if you are a consumer, or its Commercial Arbitration Rules if you are a business, before a single arbitrator. Unless we agree otherwise, the arbitration may be conducted by video/teleconference, or in person in Phoenix, Arizona.
Class and Representative Action Waiver. YOU AND SKILL FERRY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
Small Claims Exception. Either party may bring an individual claim in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction instead of arbitration.
Injunctive Relief. Either party may seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its rights pending arbitration (for example, to stop misuse of intellectual property or confidential information).
Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing hello@skillferry.com within 30 days of your first use of the Site with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out,” and your name and contact information. If you opt out, neither you nor Skill Ferry can require the other to participate in arbitration.
Severability. If the class action waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, then that claim must proceed in court; the remaining provisions of this section will still apply.
International Users
Access to the Site may not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries. You access the Site on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws where applicable.
Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Site will cease immediately.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date above. Your continued use of the Site after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice.
Entire Agreement
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of the Site and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements on the subject matter.
