16. Arbitration Agreement and Waiver of Certain Rights
a. Arbitration: You and Blisser agree to resolve any disputes between you and Blisser through binding and final arbitration instead of through court proceedings. You and Blisser each hereby waive any right to a jury trial of any controversy, claim, counterclaim, or other dispute arising between you and Blisser relating to these Terms or our Site (each a "Claim," and collectively, "Claims"). Any Claim will be submitted for binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA Rules"). The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision will be in writing, will include the arbitrator's reasons for the decision, will be final and binding upon the parties, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that the arbitration will be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including any pleadings, briefs, or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and awards) will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or by applicable disclosure rules and regulations of securities regulatory authorities or other governmental agencies.
b. Costs and Fees: If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Blisser will pay as much of the administrative costs and arbitrator's fees required for the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the cost of the arbitration from being prohibitive. In the final award, the arbitrator may apportion the costs of arbitration and the compensation of the arbitrator among the parties in such amounts as the arbitrator deems appropriate.
c. No Preclusions: This arbitration agreement does not preclude you or Blisser from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and Blisser each also have the right to bring any qualifying Claim in small claims court. In addition, you and Blisser each retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional relief, including pre-arbitral attachments or preliminary injunctions, and any such request will not be deemed to be either incompatible with these Terms or a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in these Terms.
d. No Class Representative or Private Attorney General: You and Blisser each agree that with respect to any Claim, neither may: (i) act as a class representative or private attorney general, or (ii) participate as a member of a class of claimants. You agree that no Claim may be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator can decide only individual Claims (whether brought by you or Blisser). The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.
e. Severability/No Waiver/Survival: If any provision of this Section 16 is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be deemed appropriately modified to give effect to the intent of the provision or, if modification is not possible, will be severed and the remainder of this Section 17 will continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this Section 17 will be effective or enforceable unless recorded in a writing signed by the party waiving such a right or requirement. Such a waiver will not waive or affect any other provision of these Terms. This Section 17 will survive the termination of your relationship with Blisser.
f. 30-Day Opt-Out Right: You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement, written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: 900 3rd Avenue (29th floor) 10022, New York, NY. Your notice must include your name and address, any usernames, each email address you have used to submit your BLISSER Video requests or set up an account on our Site (if applicable), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. You agree that if you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
g. LIMITATIONS: This Section 16 limits certain rights, including the right to maintain certain court actions, the right to a jury trial, the right to participate in any form of class or representative claim, the right to engage in discovery except as provided in AAA rules, and the right to certain remedies and forms of relief. In addition, other rights that you or Blisser would have in court may not be available in arbitration.
17. Other Provisions
a. Force Majeure: Under no circumstances will any Blisser Party be liable for any delay or failure in performance due in whole or in part to any acts of God (such as earthquakes, storms, floods, etc.), unavoidable accidents, laws, rules, regulations or orders of government authorities, acts of war (declared or not), terrorism, hostilities, blockades, civil disturbances, embargoes, strikes, or any other event or cause beyond the reasonable control of any Blisser Party.
b. Choice of Law and Jurisdiction: These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any conflict of laws rules or provisions. You agree that any action of whatever nature arising from or relating to these Terms or our Site will be filed only in the state or federal courts located in New York, NY. You consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of any such action.
c. Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be deemed appropriately modified to give effect to the intent of the provision or, if modification is not possible, will be severed from these Terms and will not affect the enforceability of any other provision.
d. No Waiver or Amendment: The failure by Blisser to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not prevent Blisser from enforcing such right or provision in the future and will not be deemed to modify these Terms.
e. Assignment: Blisser may, at any time, assign its rights and obligations under these Terms, including to an affiliated entity or in connection with a sale of assets, merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, other transaction, or by operation of law.
f. Miscellaneous: The term "including" in these Terms will be interpreted broadly and will mean "including, without limitation." Titles are for convenience only and will not be considered when interpreting these Terms.
18. Changes to these Terms
We may change these Terms. If we do, we will post the revised Terms on our Site and update the "Last Updated" date at the top of these Terms. The revised Terms will be effective immediately if you accept them (for example, by agreeing when you create an account or login to an existing account, or using or continuing to use our Site after the revised Terms have been posted); otherwise, they will be effective 30 days after posting.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you acknowledge and agree that in no event will any Blisser Party be liable to you or to any third party for any indirect, special, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages (including for loss of profits, revenue, or data) or for the cost of obtaining substitute products, arising out of or in connection with these Terms, however caused, whether such liability arises from any claim based upon contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, and whether or not Blisser has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
f. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total cumulative liability to you or any third party under these Terms, including from all causes of action and all theories of liability, will be limited to and will not exceed the fees actually received by Blisser from you during the 12 months preceding the claim giving rise to such liability.
g. Certain jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If those laws apply to you, some or all of the above exclusions or limitations may not apply to you, and you might have additional rights.
h. You agree that the limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between Blisser and you.
16. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Blisser and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, directors, shareholders, agents, partners, and licensors (each, a "Blisser Party, " and collectively, "Blisser Parties") from and against any and all claims, costs, proceedings, demands, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) of any kind or nature, arising from, out of, in connection with, or relating to: (a) these Terms; (b) use of our Site; (c) your negligence, misconduct, or fraud; (d) any action or inaction by you or anyone acting on your behalf; (e) any Organization or Affiliated Talent; (f) any Charity; (g) your status as a parent or legal guardian of a Talent User; (h) Talent Content; (i) Feedback; (j) your eligibility with the NCAA or any other association, group, authority, or organization referenced in Section 7.b; or (k) your participation in the Referral Program. Blisser may select counsel and control the defense of any claim that you are indemnifying. You will reasonably cooperate with us in connection with any claim.
17. Arbitration Agreement and Waiver of Certain Rights
a. Arbitration: You and Blisser agree to resolve any disputes between you and Blisser through binding and final arbitration instead of through court proceedings. You and Blisser each hereby waive any right to a jury trial of any controversy, claim, counterclaim, or other dispute arising between you and Blisser relating to these Terms or our Site (each a "Claim," and collectively, "Claims"). Any Claim will be submitted for binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA Rules"). The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision will be in writing, will include the arbitrator's reasons for the decision, will be final and binding upon the parties, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that the arbitration will be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and awards) will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or by applicable disclosure rules and regulations of securities regulatory authorities or other governmental agencies.
b. Costs and Fees: If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Blisser will pay as much of the administrative costs and arbitrator's fees required for the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the cost of the arbitration from being prohibitive. In the final award, the arbitrator may apportion the costs of arbitration and the compensation of the arbitrator among the parties in such amounts as the arbitrator deems appropriate.
c. No Preclusions: This arbitration agreement does not preclude you or Blisser from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and Blisser each also have the right to bring any qualifying Claim in small claims court. In addition, you and Blisser each retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional relief, including pre-arbitral attachments or preliminary injunctions, and any such request will not be deemed to be either incompatible with these Terms or a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in these Terms.
d. No Class Representative or Private Attorney General: Each of you and Blisser agree that with respect to any Claim, neither may: (i) act as a class representative or private attorney general; or (ii) participate as a member of a class of claimants. You agree that no Claim may be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator can decide only individual Claims (whether brought by you or Blisser). The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.
e. Severability/No Waiver/Survival: If any provision of this Section 19 is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be deemed appropriately modified to give effect to the intent of the provision or, if modification is not possible, will be severed and the remainder of this Section 19 will continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this Section 19 will be effective or enforceable unless recorded in a writing signed by the party waiving such a right or requirement. Such a waiver will not waive or affect any other provision of these Terms. This Section 19 will survive the termination of your relationship with Blisser.
f. Blisser Inc, 900 3rd Avenue (29th floor) 10022, New York, NY
g. LIMITATIONS: This Section 19 limits certain rights, including the right to maintain certain court actions, the right to a jury trial, the right to participate in any form of class or representative claim, the right to engage in discovery except as provided in AAA rules, and the right to certain remedies and forms of relief. In addition, other rights that you or Blisser would have in court may not be available in arbitration.
18. Other Provisions
a. Force Majeure: Under no circumstances will any Blisser Party be liable for any delay or failure in performance due in whole or in part to any acts of God (such as earthquakes, storms, floods, etc.), unavoidable accidents, laws, rules, regulations or orders of government authorities, acts of war (declared or not), terrorism, hostilities, blockades, civil disturbances, embargoes, strikes, or any other event or cause beyond the reasonable control of any Blisser Party.
b. Choice of Law and Jurisdiction: These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any conflict of laws rules or provisions. You agree that any action of whatever nature arising from or relating to these Terms or our Site will be filed only in the state or federal courts located in New York, NY. You consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of any such action.
c. Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be deemed appropriately modified to give effect to the intent of the provision or, if modification is not possible, will be severed from these Terms and will not affect the enforceability of any other provision.
d. No Waiver or Amendment: The failure by Blisser to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not prevent Blisser from enforcing such right or provision in the future and will not be deemed to modify these Terms.
e. Assignment: Blisser may, at any time, assign its rights and obligations under these Terms, including to an affiliated entity or in connection with a sale of assets, merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, other transaction, or by operation of law.
f. Miscellaneous: The term "including" in these Terms will be interpreted broadly and will mean "including, without limitation." Titles are for convenience only and will not be considered when interpreting these Terms.
