4. General Payment Terms
Certain features of the Service may require you to pay fees. Before you pay any fees, you

applicable law, are non-refundable.
- Price. DoubleCheck reserves the right to determine pricing for the Service.
DoubleCheck will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information published on the website

DoubleCheck will provide you advance notice of the changes before they apply. DoubleCheck, at
its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing
to any of DoubleCheck’s customers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, will
not apply to your offer or these Terms.
- Authorization. You authorize DoubleCheck and its third party payment
processors to charge all sums for the orders that you make and any level of Service you select
as described in these Terms or published by DoubleCheck, including all applicable taxes, to
the payment method specified in your account. If you pay any fees with a credit card,
DoubleCheck or its third party payment processors may seek pre-authorization of your credit
card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the
necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase.

payments for periodic charges (“Subscription Service”). If you

fees and taxes for the next subscription period (e.g., monthly billing periods will be billed
on the same day each month). The subscription will continue unless and until you cancel your
subscription or we terminate it. You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order
to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fee to your account. DoubleCheck or its
third party payment processor will bill the periodic Subscription Fee to the payment method
you provide to us during registration (or to a different payment method if you change your
payment information). You may cancel the Subscription Service by following the instructions
provided at the following links for
DoubleChek Pro, or by contacting us at support@doublecheck.studio

16. Disclaimers; No Warranties
THE SERVICE AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE PROVIDED
“AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. DOUBLECHECK DISCLAIMS ALL
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO THE SERVICE AND ALL MATERIALS
AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE, INCLUDING: (A) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR
NON-INFRINGEMENT; AND (B) ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE.
DOUBLECHECK DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE, OR ANY MATERIALS
OR CONTENT OFFERED THROUGH OR PROCESSED BY THE SERVICE, WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE
OF ERRORS, VIRUSES, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, AND DOUBLECHECK DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY OF
THOSE ISSUES WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY
YOU FROM THE SERVICE OR DOUBLECHECK ENTITIES OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE
SERVICE WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING ANY OF THE DOUBLECHECK ENTITIES OR THE SERVICE THAT
IS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT
FROM THE SERVICE AND YOUR DEALING WITH ANY OTHER SERVICE USER. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT
YOU USE ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND THAT WE ARE NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY (INCLUDING YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE
USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE) OR ANY LOSS, USE, OR DISCLOSURE OF DATA, INCLUDING USER
CONTENT. THE LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SECTION APPLY TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. DoubleCheck does not disclaim any warranty or other right that
DoubleCheck is prohibited from disclaiming under applicable law.
17. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE DOUBLECHECK ENTITIES BE LIABLE
TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING
DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS) ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICE OR ANY
MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON OR AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT,
TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY
DOUBLECHECK ENTITY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN
SECTION 18.5 AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE
DOUBLECHECK ENTITIES TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY
INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN
CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO
DOUBLECHECK FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT OR
CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO CLAIM; OR (B) $100. EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES
FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED
TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN
ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS
SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS
SECTION 17 WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
18. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
- Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and DoubleCheck in
the most expedient and cost effective manner, subject to all applicable laws and except as described
in Section 18.2 and 18.3, you and DoubleCheck agree that every dispute arising in connection with
these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit
in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more
limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators
can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes
includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract,
tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a
claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY
ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND DOUBLECHECK ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR
TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. If you reside in a country (for example, a member state of the
European Union) with laws that give consumers the right to bring disputes in their local courts,
this Section 18 does not affect those requirements.
- Exceptions. Despite the provisions of Section 18.1, nothing in these Terms will
be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual
action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal,
state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law
in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property
infringement claim.
- Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may
opt out of the provisions of this Section 18 within 30 days after the date that you agree to these
Terms by sending a letter to DoubleCheck Inc., Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration
Opt-Out, PO Box 3891, Nederland, CO 80466 that specifies: your full legal name, the email address
associated with your account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration
(“Opt-Out Notice”). Once DoubleCheck receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 18
will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section
19.2. The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
- Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and DoubleCheck will be settled under
the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online
at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting DoubleCheck. The arbitrator has
exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or
enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
- Notice of Arbitration; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must
first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by
Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current
physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). DoubleCheck’s address for Notice is: DoubleCheck, PO Box 3891, Nederland, CO
80466. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or
dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”).
The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do
not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received,
you or DoubleCheck may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between
the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the
arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or DoubleCheck must not be
disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if
any. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount
offered by DoubleCheck in settlement of the dispute prior to the award, DoubleCheck will pay
to you the higher of: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator; or (ii) $10,000.
- Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, DoubleCheck
will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000,
in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing
will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Santa Clara County, California, but if the claim
is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on
the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone
hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish)
of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the
relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the
standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will
be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse DoubleCheck for all monies previously
disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the
manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision
sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if
any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement
of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within
14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
- No Class Actions. YOU AND DOUBLECHECK 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 OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and DoubleCheck agree otherwise,
the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside
over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
- Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If DoubleCheck makes any future change
to this arbitration provision, other than a change to DoubleCheck’s address for Notice of
Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change
to DoubleCheck’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with DoubleCheck
will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to
the changes you rejected will survive.
- Enforceability. If Section 18.7 or the entirety of this Section 18 is found to
be unenforceable, or if DoubleCheck receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this
Section 18 will be null and void and, in that case, exclusive jurisdiction and venue described
in Section 19.2 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
19. Miscellaneous
- General Terms. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements
expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms, are the entire and exclusive understanding
and agreement between you and DoubleCheck regarding your use of the Service. You may not assign
or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of
law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without
notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right
to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default
of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default
or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in these Terms is for convenience only
and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. Throughout these Terms the
use of the word “including” means “including but not limited to”. If any
part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given
effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
- Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California
without regard to conflict of law principles. You and DoubleCheck submit to the personal and exclusive
jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within Santa Clara, California for
resolution of any lawsuit or court proceeding permitted under these Terms. In addition, please
