  9. 3. SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS; MODIFICATION TO THESE TERMS
  10. Supplemental terms may apply to certain Services, such as policies for a particular event, program, trial, activity or promotion, and such supplemental terms will be disclosed to you in separate disclosures (e.g., a particular webpage on CAPSULE or a CAPSULE application) or in connection with the applicable Service(s). Supplemental terms are in addition to, and shall be deemed a part of, the Terms for the purposes of the applicable Service(s). Supplemental terms shall prevail over these Terms in the event of a conflict with respect to the applicable Services.
  11. CAPSULE may amend these Terms from time to time. Amendments to these Terms will be effective upon CAPSULE's posting of such updated Terms on the applicable Service or this location, in the amended policies, or supplemental terms on the applicable Service(s)(e.g., at the time of a content submission). Your continued access or use of the Services after such posting confirms your consent to be bound by the Terms, as amended. If CAPSULE changes these Terms after the date you first agreed to the Terms (or to any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by providing CAPSULE written notice of such rejection within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the "Effective Date" date above.

  13. 4. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
  14. By agreeing to the Terms, you agree that you are required to resolve any claim that you may have against CAPSULE on an individual basis in arbitration, as set forth in this Arbitration Agreement. This will preclude you from bringing any class, collective, or representative action against CAPSULE, and also preclude you from participating in or recovering relief under any current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative action brought against CAPSULE by someone else.
  1. 4.1. Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and CAPSULE.
  1. You and CAPSULE agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to (a) these Terms or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or (b) your access to or use of the Services at any time, whether before or after the date you agreed to the Terms, will be settled by binding arbitration between you and CAPSULE, and not in a court of law.
  2. You acknowledge and agree that you and CAPSULE are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Unless both you and CAPSULE otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. However, you and CAPSULE each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right 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.
  1. 4.2. Rules and Governing Law.
  1. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.
  2. The parties agree that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.
  3. Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in the Terms, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. ("FAA"), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the state of New York.
  1. 4.3. Process.
  1. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration - Consumer Arbitration Rules at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). The Arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specifically licensed to practice law in the state of New York and will be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the Arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
  1. 4.4. Location and Procedure.
  1. Unless you and CAPSULE otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and CAPSULE submit to the Arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the Arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the Arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
  1. 4.5. Arbitrator's Decision.
  1. The Arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. The Arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim. An Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. CAPSULE will not seek, and hereby waives all rights CAPSULE may have under applicable law to recover attorneys' fees and expenses if CAPSULE prevails in arbitration.
  1. 4.6. Arbitrator Fees.
  1. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed (one thousand dollars) $1000, CAPSULE will pay all such fees, unless the Arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
  1. 4.7. Changes.
  1. Notwithstanding the provisions in Section 1 (Welcome) and Section 2 (Accepting These Terms of Use) above, regarding consent to be bound by amendments to these Terms, if CAPSULE changes this Arbitration Agreement after the date you first agreed to the Terms (or to any subsequent changes to the Terms), you may reject any such change by providing CAPSULE written notice of such rejection within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the "Effective" date above. This written notice must be provided either (a) by mail or hand delivery to our registered agent for service of process, c/o Capsule.Video, Inc., or (b) by email from the email address associated with your Account to: legal@Capsule.Video. In order to be effective, the notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this Arbitration Agreement. By rejecting changes, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and CAPSULE in accordance with the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first agreed to the Terms (or to any subsequent changes to the Terms).
  1. 4.8. Severability and Survival.
  1. If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (3) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

Further, deleted Content may persist in archival copies on CAPSULE servers for a reasonable period of time. You understand and agree that once Content is distributed to a Linked Service, or incorporated into other aspects of the CAPSULE Services (e.g., as part of a derivative work), CAPSULE is under no obligation to delete or ask other users or a Linked Service to delete that Content; therefore, it may continue to appear and be used indefinitely.

However, from time to time we may offer you choices regarding how information about you is shared and we will make good faith efforts to honor your elections. Except as prohibited by law, you hereby waive, and you agree to waive, any moral rights (including attribution and integrity) that you may have in any Content. To the extent not waivable, you irrevocably agree not to exercise such rights (if any) in a manner that interferes with any exercise of the rights granted hereunder. You understand that you will not receive any fees, sums, consideration, or remuneration for any of the rights granted in this Section 13 (Proprietary Rights in Content on CAPSULE). If you are a minor, you represent and warrant that your parent or legal guardian has consented to you granting the rights as set forth in this Section 13, or that are provided in any additional terms.

If you do not provide CAPSULE with the information necessary for CAPSULE to issue you a reward, you agree that you forfeit the reward and CAPSULE does not owe you any reward.

  1. These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without giving effect to any conflict of law principles, except as may be otherwise provided in the Arbitration Agreement above or in supplemental terms applicable to your region. However, the choice of law provision regarding the interpretation of these Terms is not intended to create any other substantive right to non-New York residents to assert claims under New York law whether that be by statute, common law, or otherwise. These provisions, and except as otherwise provided, are only intended to specify the use of New York law to interpret these Terms and the forum for disputes asserting a breach of these Terms, and these provisions shall not be interpreted as generally extending New York law to you if you do not otherwise reside in New York. The foregoing choice of law and forum selection provisions do not apply to the arbitration clause in Section 4 (Arbitration Agreement) or to any arbitrable disputes as defined therein. Instead, as described in Section 4 (Arbitration Agreement), the Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to any such disputes.
