Terms of Service

Last updated: November 3, 2015

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Ziploop, Inc. (“Ziploop”, “we,” or “us”) and our online service for the storage and management of your receipts, gift cards, coupons, and other items, located at our web site www.ziploop.com (“Site”); our mobile application (including any tablet application) (“App”); and any related web sites, embeddable widgets, downloadable software, and other services provided by us (collectively, including the Site and App, our “Service”). These Terms of Service are a legally binding contract between you and Ziploop regarding your use of the Service.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY. BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT,” REGISTERING FOR AN ACCOUNT, DOWNLOADING OR USING OUR APP, OR BY OTHERWISE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING THE ZIPLOOP PRIVACY POLICY (COLLECTIVELY, THE “TERMS”). If you are not eligible, or do not agree to these Terms, then please do not use the Service.

You acknowledge and agree that, as provided in greater detail in these Terms:

  • the App is licensed, not sold to you, and you may use the Service only as set forth in these Terms;
  • your use of the Service may be subject to separate third party terms of service and fees, including without limitation the terms of service and data, SMS, MMS, and other fees of your mobile network operator (the “Carrier”), which are your sole responsibility;
  • the Service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind and Ziploop’s liability to you is limited;
  • disputes arising hereunder will be resolved by binding arbitration, AND BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND ZIPLOOP ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court). Our rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator and NOT a judge or jury, and your claims can’t be brought as a class action. Please review Section 18 below for the details regarding your agreement to arbitrate any disputes with Ziploop;
  • access to certain features of the service may require access to information about the location of your device, such as GPS coordinates; and,
  • if you are using the App on an iOS-based device, you agree to and acknowledge the “Notice Regarding Apple”, below.
  1. 1. Eligibility. You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to use the Service. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us: (i) that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age; (ii) that you have not previously been suspended or removed from the Service; and (iii) that your registration and your use of the Service is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations. If you are using the Service on behalf of an entity, organization, or company, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind such organization to these Terms and you hereby agree to be bound by these Terms on behalf of yourself and such organization, and references to “you” in these terms will be deemed to refer to you in your individual capacity, your subscribing organization, and other users using the Service on behalf of such organization.
  2. 2. Privacy Policy; Additional Terms
    • 2.1 Privacy Policy. Please read the Ziploop Privacy Policy carefully for information relating to our collection, use, storage and disclosure of your personal information. The Ziploop Privacy Policy is hereby incorporated by reference into, and made a part of, these Terms.
    • 2.2 Additional Terms. Your use of the Service is subject to any and all additional terms, policies, rules, or guidelines applicable to the Service or certain features of the Service that we may post on or link to on the Service (the "Additional Terms"), such as end-user license agreements for any downloadable applications that we may offer, or rules applicable to particular features or content on the Service, subject to Section 11 below. All Additional Terms are hereby incorporated by reference into, and made a part of, these Terms.
  3. 3. Accounts and Registration. To access some features of the Service, you must register for an account.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password. You agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. If you have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure, then you must immediately notify us at support@ziploop.com.
  4. 4. Location-Based Services. Access to certain features of the Service requires access to your location in order to tailor your experience with the Service based on your location (“Location-based Services”).

PLEASE NOTE THAT LOCATION DATA MAY NOT ALWAYS BE ACCURATE, AND ZIPLOOP DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES RELATED TO LOCATION-BASED SERVICES.
  5. 5. App Terms. The terms of this Section 5 govern your acquisition and use of our App.
    • 5.1 Third Party Accounts. In order to download the App, you may be required by the third party who is distributing or providing you access to the App, such as Apple, Inc. or Google, Inc. (each, a “Distributor”) to create an account. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of any logins, passwords, or other credentials that you select or that are provided to you to access your account with any Distributor. Your use of any account with a Distributor is subject to any terms, conditions, and policies, including privacy policies, of that Distributor. Ziploop is not responsible for any act or omission of any Distributor.
    • 5.2 License to the App. Subject to your complete and ongoing compliance with all the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms (including, without limitation, payment of any applicable fees and compliance with all license restrictions), Ziploop grants you: (1) a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to one copy of the App downloaded directly from Ziploop or from a legitimate marketplace (such as Apple’s iTunes store or Google’s Google Play), solely in object code format and solely for your personal use for lawful purposes, on a single compatible device that you own or control; and (2) permission to access and use the Service, only for your personal use, and solely through the use of a licensed copy of the App. You may not reproduce, distribute, publicly display, or publicly perform the App or any part of the Service. Except if, and solely to the extent that, such a restriction is impermissible under applicable law, you may not (a) decompile, reverse engineer, or otherwise access or attempt to access the source code for the App, or make or attempt to make any modification to or derivative work of the App; or (b) interfere with or circumvent any feature of the App, including without limitation any security or access control mechanism. You may not use the App or the Service for any purpose other than a purpose for which the App and the Service are expressly designed. The term App, as used herein, includes any update or modification to the App made available to you by Ziploop (unless provided with separate terms). If you are prohibited under applicable law from using the App or the Service, you may not use them.
    • 5.3 Access to the App; Third Party Fees. Ziploop does not provide you with the equipment to use the App. You are responsible for all fees charged by third parties to access and use the App (e.g., charges by Carriers). Without limiting the foregoing, you are solely responsible for the payment of all applicable fees associated with any Carrier service plan you use in connection with your use of the Service (such as data, SMS, MMS, roaming, and other applicable fees charged by the Carrier). Accordingly, you should use care in selecting a service plan offered by your Carrier.
    • 5.4 Special Terms Regarding Apple. If you download software from Apple, Inc.’s App Store, your use of the software must at all times be in accordance with the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple, Inc. App Store Terms of Service, and you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Ziploop only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Service and the content thereof. This Agreement is not intended to provide for usage rules for software that are less restrictive than the Usage Rules set forth for “Licensed Applications” in, or that otherwise conflict with, the App Store Terms of Service. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the Service. In the event of any failure of the Service to conform to any applicable warranty, then you may notify Apple and Apple will refund any applicable purchase price for the App to you; and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Service. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the Service or your possession and/or use of the Service, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) maintenance and support; (iii) any claim that the Service fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iv) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation. Apple is not responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any third party claim that the Service and/or your possession and use of the App infringe that third party’s intellectual property rights. You agree to comply with any applicable third party terms, when using the Service. Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third party beneficiary of these Terms. You hereby represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  6. 6. User Content
    • 6.1 User Content Generally. Certain features of the Service may permit users to submit a variety of content, including receipts, gift cards, reward coupons, messages, photos, images, video, data, text, documents, and other types of works, including the submission of corrections, modifications, additions, or enhancements to other content already available through the Service (collectively, “User Content”) and to publish User Content on the Service. As between Ziploop and you, you retain ownership of all copyright and any other proprietary rights that you may hold in the User Content that you post to the Service, and you do not transfer ownership of any of your intellectual property rights in your User Content to Ziploop.
    • 6.2 Limited License Grant to Ziploop. By submitting User Content to the Service, you grant Ziploop a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid up, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable right and license (with the right to sublicense) to host, store, transfer, display, perform, reproduce, modify, and distribute your User Content, in whole or in part, in any media formats and through any media channels (now known or hereafter developed) in connection with the operation, support and promotion of the Service (as it may be modified from time to time) to you and other users. Any such use of your User Content by Ziploop may be without any compensation paid to you. Ziploop may now or in the future provide features on the Service that allow you to configure certain controls or limitations with respect to if and how other users may access particular User Content. Notwithstanding, such features are not foolproof or immune from being compromised, hacked, misused, or otherwise bypassed, and Ziploop does not and cannot a guarantee that your User Content will not be accessed in ways other than you intended.
    • 6.3 Limited License Grant to Other Users. By publishing or sharing User Content with other users through the Service, you hereby grant the recipient of such User Content a non-exclusive license to access and use such User Content as permitted by these Terms and the functionality of the Service (including functionality that allows further sharing of such User Content).
    • 6.4 User Content Representations and Warranties. You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting or publishing User Content. By submitting, posting, publishing, or sharing User Content, you affirm, represent, warrant, and covenant that:
      • you are the creator and owner of, or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to submit, post, publish, and share such User Content with Ziploop and others, and to authorize Ziploop and users and licensees of the Service to use and distribute your User Content as necessary to exercise the licenses granted by you in this Section 6 and in the manner contemplated by these Terms;
      • your User Content, and the use thereof as contemplated herein, does not and will not: (i) infringe, violate, or misappropriate any third-party right, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right; or (ii) slander, defame, or libel any third-party; and
      • your User Content is accurate and up to date, is not fraudulent, misleading, unlawful, inappropriate, or obscene, and does not violate any law or regulation, or constitute false advertising or any other unfair business practice.
    • 6.5 User Content Disclaimer. Ziploop is under no obligation to edit or control User Content that you or other users post or publish, and will not be in any way responsible or liable for User Content. Ziploop may, however, at any time and without prior notice, screen, remove, edit, or block any User Content that in our sole judgment violates these Terms or is otherwise objectionable. You understand that when using the Service you may be exposed to User Content and a variety of other data and information from a variety of third party sources and acknowledge that such User Content, data, and information may be inaccurate, offensive, indecent, inappropriate, or objectionable. You agree to waive, and hereby do waive, any legal or equitable rights or remedies you have or may have against Ziploop with respect to such User Content, data, or information, and we expressly disclaim any and all liability in connection with such User Content, data, or information. If notified by a user or content owner that User Content does not conform to these Terms, we may investigate the allegation and determine in our sole discretion what course of action to take, which we reserve the right to do at any time and without notice. For clarity, Ziploop does not permit copyright-infringing or other unlawful activities on the Service.
    • 6.6 Limited Power of Attorney. In connection with certain features of the Service, it may be beneficial or desired for Ziploop to access information from certain third parties (e.g., merchants that send you email receipts and related information) on your behalf as your agent. You hereby authorize Ziploop to access such information maintained by identified third parties solely in connection with providing you the Service, and you hereby grant Ziploop a limited power of attorney, and appoint Ziploop as your attorney-in-fact and agent, to access the third-party websites and services to retrieve and use your information with the full power and authority to do, and perform each thing necessary in connection with such activities, as you could do in person. You acknowledge and agree that when Ziploop is accessing and retrieving information from third-party websites and service on your behalf, Ziploop is acting as your agent, and not as the agent of or on behalf of the third party.
    • 6.7 Backups. You are solely responsible for maintaining backups of your User Content outside the Service, and Ziploop will have no liability whatsoever to you arising out of or in connection with any loss, compromise, or corruption of any data you may submit, receive, transmit, or store through the Service. Once you terminate your account, you will no longer have access to retrieve or obtain any of your User Content.
  7. 7. Digital Millennium Copyright Act
    • 7.1 DMCA Notification. We comply with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act applicable to internet service providers (17 U.S.C. §512, as amended).

    • 7.2 Repeat Infringers. Ziploop will promptly terminate without notice the accounts of users that are determined by Ziploop to be “repeat infringers." A repeat infringer is a user who has been notified of infringing activity more than twice and/or has had User Content removed from the Service more than twice.
  8. 8. Prohibited Conduct. BY USING THE SERVICE YOU AGREE NOT TO:
    • 8.1 use the Service (including the submission, transmission, modification, addition, or deletion of any User Content or other content available through the Service) for any illegal or improper purpose, or in violation of any local, state, national, or international law, or for any purpose other than your personal, non-commercial purposes;

We will have no liability whatsoever on account of any change to the Service or any suspension or termination of your access to or use of the Service. You may terminate your account at any time by contacting customer service at support@ziploop.com.
  11. 11. Changes to the Terms. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change these Terms on a going-forward basis at any time. Please check these Terms periodically for changes. In the event that a change to these Terms materially modifies your rights or obligations, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of such change. We may provide notice through a pop-up or banner within the Service, by sending an email to any address you may have used to register for an account, or through other mechanisms. Generally, modifications to the Terms are effective upon publication, provided that if the changed Terms materially modify your rights or obligations, the changes are effective upon the earlier of (a) your using the Service with actual knowledge of the change, or (b) thirty days following publication of the modified Terms, and further provided that disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved in accordance with the Terms in effect that the time the dispute arose. If you do not accept the changed Terms, you may not continue to access to and use of the Service.

All Materials contained in the Service, as well as raw data and information and statistical and analytical data related to, associated with, or based on individual and aggregate usage and usage trends with respect to the Service, and all intellectual property rights therein and thereto, are the property of Ziploop or our third-party licensors.

  14. 14. Disclaimers; No Warranties
    • 14.1 THE SERVICE AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND ON AN "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. THE ZIPLOOP ENTITIES SPECIFICALLY (BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION) DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO THE SERVICE AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO (i) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT; AND (ii) ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE. THE ZIPLOOP ENTITIES DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR ANY PART THEREOF, OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT OFFERED THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE, UP TO DATE, UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS, VIRUSES, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, AND DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY OF THE FOREGOING WILL BE CORRECTED. ZIPLOOP MAKES NO GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES RELATED TO OFFERS PLACED THROUGH THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ANY GUARANTEES THAT OFFERS WILL BE COMMUNICATED OR COMMUNICATED IN A TIMELY MANNER.
    • 14.2 NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE SERVICE OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING ANY OF THE ZIPLOOP ENTITIES OR THE SERVICE THAT IS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK FOR ALL DAMAGES THAT MAY RESULT FROM YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICE, YOUR DEALINGS WITH OTHER SERVICE USERS OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES, AND ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU USE THE SERVICE AND USE, ACCESS, DOWNLOAD, OR OTHERWISE OBTAIN MATERIALS OR CONTENT THROUGH THE SERVICE AND ANY ASSOCIATED SITES OR SERVICES AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY (INCLUDING YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE) OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICE OR THE DOWNLOAD OR USE OF SUCH MATERIALS OR CONTENT.
    • 14.3 SOME JURISDICTIONS MAY PROHIBIT A DISCLAIMER OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES AND YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.
  15. 15. Limitation of Liability
    • 15.1 IN NO EVENT WILL THE ZIPLOOP ENTITIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES) 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 THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT ANY ZIPLOOP ENTITIES HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
    • 15.2 YOU AGREE THAT THE AGGREGATE TOTAL OF ALL LIABILITY OF THE ZIPLOOP ENTITIES TO YOU FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE (INCLUDING ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE) OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (i) THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO ZIPLOOP FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE CLAIM OR (ii) $100.
    • 15.3 SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
    • 15.4 EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THESE TERMS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. 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 15 WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
  16. 16. Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles. To the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted hereunder, you and Ziploop agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within the County of Contra Costa, California for the purpose of litigating all such disputes.
  17. 17. General. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Ziploop regarding your use of and access to the Service, and except as expressly permitted above may be amended only by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of all parties to these Terms. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights hereunder, 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. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of these Terms or any provision of these Terms constitute 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 shall not have any impact on the interpretation of particular provisions. In the event that any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part shall be given effect to the greatest extent possible and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect. Upon termination of these Terms, any provision that by its nature or express terms should survive will survive such termination or expiration, including, but not limited to, Sections 5 through 8, 10, and 12 through 20.
  18. 18. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
    • 18.1 Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Ziploop in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Ziploop agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with these Terms shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal 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. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to 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 the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND ZIPLOOP ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
    • 18.2 Exceptions. Notwithstanding subsection 16.1, we both agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our right to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.
    • 18.3 Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Ziploop will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. 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 Ziploop.
    • 18.4 Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail ("Notice"). Ziploop's address for Notice is as set forth below. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Ziploop may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Ziploop shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. In the event our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Ziploop shall pay you (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any, (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by Ziploop in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) $1,000.00, whichever is greater.
    • 18.5 Fees. In the event that you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Ziploop will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees shall be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in San Francisco, California, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (iii) 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 such case, you agree to reimburse Ziploop 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 shall 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.
    • 18.6 No Class Actions. YOU AND ZIPLOOP 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 Ziploop 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.
    • 18.7 Modifications. In the event that Ziploop makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to Ziploop's address for Notice), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Ziploop's address for Notice, in which case your account with Ziploop shall be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject shall survive.
    • 18.8 Enforceability. If Subsection 16.6 is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 16 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 16 shall be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 14 shall govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
