subscription price or plan change. If you do not agree with a subscription

price or plan change, do not continue to use the Subscription Service.

Subscription Services to third parties.  You are responsible for maintaining

the confidentiality of your access credentials and for all usage or activity

on your Subscription Services accounts, including the use of Subscription

Services by any third party authorized by you to use your access

credentials.  Such responsibility expressly includes any purchases made or

other charges incurred on your credit card in connection with your use (or

an authorized third party’s use) of the Subscription Services.  In the event

of any fraudulent, abusive or otherwise illegal activity on your Subscription

Services accounts, we may, in our sole discretion, terminate those

accounts and refer you to appropriate law enforcement agencies.  You

otherwise illegal activity.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS,

arbitration, you and Twisted Clay agree to arbitrate all Disputes (defined

regulation, ordinance, tort (including fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent

inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory, except

that each party retains the right: (a) to bring an individual action in small

claims court and (b) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court

of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened

infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights,

trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.

In the event of any dispute, controversy, or difference, arising among or

out of, or in relation to, or in connection with the interpretation or

performance of this Agreement or any of the terms hereof, or a breach

hereof (“Dispute”), the parties hereto shall promptly conduct informal

discussions and negotiations in good faith with a view to resolve such

Dispute effecting as nearly as possible the intent and purposes of this

Agreement. Any resolution of such Dispute shall be set forth in a writing

signed by the parties.

If such Dispute cannot be satisfactorily resolved by the Parties themselves

through friendly consultation within a period of thirty (30) calendar days

after notice by you to Twisted Clay of a Dispute, you or Twisted Clay may

commence an arbitration in accordance with this Agreement.

The parties will jointly appoint a single arbitrator who has at least ten (10)

years of experience in the active practice of commercial and intellectual

property contracts. If the parties cannot agree on the appointment of a

single arbitrator, it is agreed that the matter may be submitted to the

American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) by either party for the

appointment of an arbitrator meeting the requirements set forth above.

The procedures for appointment (if matter is submitted to the AAA as

indicated above) and the conduct of the arbitration shall be in accordance

with the AAA procedures and rules.

The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings will be English. You

and Twisted Clay agree that whether a dispute is subject to arbitration

under this Agreement will be determined by the arbitrator rather than a

court. Any decision or award will include a written statement stating the

decision of each claim and the basis for the award, including the

arbitrator’s essential factual and legal findings and conclusions. Judgment

upon the decision or award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in

any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Twisted Clay will pay its arbitration costs as required by the Arbitration

Rules and, in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of

arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, we will

pay as much of your arbitration filing and hearing fees as the arbitrator

deems is necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive

as compared to the cost of litigation. Each side shall pay his, her, or its

own attorneys’ fees and costs unless the claim(s) at issue permit the

prevailing party to be paid its fees and/or litigation costs, in which case the

arbitrator shall award fees or costs as required by the applicable law.

This Binding Individual Arbitration section survives any termination of this

Agreement. Further, although we may revise this Agreement, Privacy

Policy, or other related agreements at our discretion, we not have the

right to alter this agreement to arbitrate or the rules specified herein with

respect to any Dispute once that Dispute has accrued. If any part of this

Binding Individual Arbitration section is deemed invalid, unenforceable, or

illegal, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect

and be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid,

unenforceable, or illegal provision had not been included.

18. Class Action Waiver.

THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS DESCRIBED ABOVE IN SECTION 17 OF

THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY.

Neither You nor Twisted Clay shall be entitled to join or consolidate

disputes by or against other individuals or entities, or to arbitrate any

dispute in a representative capacity, including, without limitation, as a

representative member of a class or in a private attorney general capacity,

in connection with any Dispute. Further, unless both you and we agree,

the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claim. The

arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are

permitted by applicable law, but to the maximum extent permitted by

applicable law, may not award relief against Twisted Clay respecting any

person other than you.

19. Your 30-Day Right to Opt Out

You have the right to opt out of and not to be bound by the Binding

Individual Arbitration of section 17 and Class Action Waiver of section 18

of this Agreement. To exercise this right, you must send written notice of

your decision to the following address: Twisted Clay, LLC, 
Attn: Legal,

441 E. Northwest Hwy, Grapevine, TX 76051.


Your notice must include your name, mailing address, date you first

purchased the Subscription Service and/or Content, and state that you do

not wish to resolve disputes with us through arbitration. To be effective,

this notice must be postmarked or deposited within 30 days of the date

on which you first purchased the Subscription Service and/or Content

unless a longer period is required by applicable law; otherwise you will be

bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with this Agreement. 

You are responsible for ensuring that we receive your opt-out notice, so

you may wish to send it by a means that provides for a delivery receipt. If

you opt out of these arbitration provisions, we will similarly not be bound

by them with respect to Disputes with you.

20. Miscellaneous

Waiver: Failure of Twisted Clay to enforce at any time or for any period of

time any of the provisions hereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of

such provision or our right to enforce each such provision and no waiver,

if granted, shall be continuing. No waiver of any term or condition of this

Agreement shall be valid or binding on us unless the same shall have been

set forth in a written document, specifically referring to this Agreement

and duly signed by Twisted Clay.

Entire Agreement: This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement

between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof, and

supersedes and replaces any and every other prior or contemporaneous

agreement, understanding or negotiation that may have existed between

you and us to the extent that any such Agreement relates to the subject

matter hereof.

Severability: If, but only to the extent that, any provision of this Agreement

is declared or found to be illegal, unenforceable, or void, then the parties

shall be relieved of all obligations arising under that provision, it being the

intent that this Agreement will be deemed amended by modifying the

provision to the extent necessary to make it legal and enforceable while

preserving its intent. If that is not possible, it shall be substituted with

another provision that is legal and enforceable and achieves the same

objective. If the remainder of this Agreement is not affected and is capable

of substantial performance, then the remainder shall be enforced to the

extent permitted by law.

Assignment: Twisted Clay shall have the right to assign this Agreement

and all or any part of our rights hereunder to any person, firm or

corporation, and this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the

benefit of our successors, licensees and assigns. This Agreement the

rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned by you.
