PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE BOTH PARTIES TO AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION.

9.1 Governing Law . The laws of the State of New York will govern this Agreement, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws.

Therefore, if you intend to initiate arbitration, you must first send us a written Notice of Dispute (" "Notice " "). A Notice from you to us must be emailed to info@cleanbrace.com (the " "Notice Address " "). Any Notice must include (i) the claimant’s name, address, and email address; (ii) a description of the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; (iii) if you are submitting the Notice, any relevant facts regarding your use of the services, including whether you have created an Account; (iv)a description of the nature and basis of the specific relief sought, including the damages sought, if any; and (v) a personally signed statement from the claimant (and not their counsel) verifying the accuracy of the contents of the Notice. The Notice must be individualized, meaning it can concern only your dispute and no other person’s dispute. After receipt of a completed Notice, the Parties shall engage in a good faith effort to resolve the dispute for a period of 60 days. If the Parties cannot reach an agreement to resolve the issues identified in the Notice within 60 days after the completed Notice is received, a Party may commence an arbitration proceeding. Compliance with this " "Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice" " section is a condition precedent to initiating arbitration.

9.3 Arbitration Process . Unless resolved by mutual efforts of both Parties, any disputes or claims that may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement and for which either Party shall seek equitable relief, all differences, disputes or claims arising in connection with this Agreement or any transaction or occurrence contemplated hereby shall be finally settled under the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (" "AAA " ") in New York county, New York by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with such rules, except that no punitive damages may be awarded. The Parties together understand and agree that the decision in such arbitration shall be final and binding on both Parties, that the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, and that a judgment upon any award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Either Party may obtain injunctive relief (preliminary or permanent) and orders to compel arbitration or enforce arbitral awards in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or later have to (i) the laying of venue of any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in a court or arbitration setting within or outside the United States of America and (ii) any claim that any action or proceeding brought in any such court or arbitration has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

9.4 CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER . YOU AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY IS WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY IN ARBITRATION, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. THIS MEANS THAT YOU MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY ANY THIRD PARTY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, YOU MAY PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS-WIDE SETTLEMENT.

The CLEAN BRACE Fee does not include any taxes, including, but not limited to income taxes on a Creator’s earnings, which is the sole responsibility of each Creator.

If your balance becomes negative, then we reserve the right to recover those funds from future payments.

This includes setting up the official rules, terms, and eligibility requirements, and complying with marketing and carrier regulations. Some laws in certain jurisdictions require that promotions may only be offered by a registered a 501(c)(3) charity.
10. Because legal requirements for Promotions can vary by location, you need to engage your own lawyer or other professional advisor to ensure you will not violate any applicable laws. We are not responsible or liable to you in any way if you use CLEAN BRACE as part of your Promotion.
11. Your Promotion’s official rules should expressly state that each entrant or participant completely releases CLEAN BRACE from liability for all claims or disputes based on, related to, or arising from the Promotion.

BY FOLLOWING A CREATOR, YOU AGREE, ACKNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT THAT YOU MAY RECEIVE MESSAGES OR OTHER COMMUNICATIONS, INCLUDING SMS, MMS AND PUSH NOTIFICATIONS FROM SUCH CREATOR AS FURTHER ELABORATED IN SECTION 14.2.8 (RECEIVING CREATOR MESSAGES) BELOW. You may opt-out by following steps outlined in Section 9 (Your Choices to Control Your Information) of our Privacy Policy .

Each Creator may set his or her own rate for Direct Messages and Locked Content exclusive to its Fans. A Creator may also reserve the right to adjust their pricing at any time subject to certain minimum price set by us (where applicable). Some fees for Direct Messaging are charged on a pre-paid basis with no refunds.

1. 14.2.4 Direct Messaging . After enrolling in Memberships with a Creator, you may purchase the right to connect with Creators through Direct Messages. Direct messages are charged on a pre-paid basis with no refunds and no guarantees of any kind (even if the Creator does not respond to one or multiple Direct Messages from you). Minimum Direct Message may be subject to change at any time. You will see the pricing details you purchase the "Direct Message". Also, within your Account as a Fan, you may view your billing history.
2. 14.2.5 Locked Content . Creators that you follow may generate and send you messages with Locked Content (as defined in Section 14.1 above). To access the Locked Content, you agree to pay a pre-populated price included in the Locked Content messages. You may lose access to Content if your payment method fails, the Creator you follow blocks you, or when the Creator deletes his or her Account. We are not required to allow you to be a Fan of any particular Creator.
3. 14.2.6 Payment Processing and Taxes . A Fan’s payments for Memberships, Direct Messages and/or Locked Content, or other exclusive Content are charged and processed by our third-party payment processor. When you provide your payment credential(s) to pay for access to certain Content, you agree that you are permitted to use that payment credential and authorize us (and our third-party payment processor) to charge the full amount to the payment credential(s) you designate for the transaction. You are responsible for all service fees (including payment processing fees), third-party internet access charges, and taxes in connection with your use of CLEAN BRACE. A Creator may change fees for Direct Messages and Locked Contents at any time. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAWS, ANY AND ALL PAYMENTS MADE ON CLEAN BRACE ARE FINAL, NON-CANCELABLE, AND NON-REFUNDABLE.
4. 14.2.7 Payment Processor . You understand and acknowledge that we are not a payment processor and do not collect any donations or payments for product or services purchases directly. We use the services of a third-party payment processor ("Payment Processor "), to process donations or payments for product or services purchased. You acknowledge and agree that the use of a Payment Processor is integral to the services provided through CLEAN BRACE. The Payment Processor manages the routing and processing of all required information from Fans to process donations and payments for product or services purchases including credit card and other financial information. We are not affiliated with the Payment Processor and neither we nor the Payment Processor is an agent or employee of the other.

In making a payment, you may be redirected to an external website operated by a Payment Processor. We cannot and do not (i) guarantee the adequacy of the privacy and security practices employed by or the content and media provided by any Payment Processor or its website or (ii) control any Payment Processor’s collection or use of your Personal Data. You agree that any Personal Data provided by you or automatically collected from you by a Payment Processor will be governed by that Payment Processor’s privacy policy and terms of use. You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be liable to you for any claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of the Payment Processor including, but not limited to, any lost, stolen, or incorrectly processed donations. We expressly disclaim any responsibility and liability for all services provided by a Payment Processor. If a transaction results in an overdraft fee from your card issuer due to you going over your credit limit or having insufficient funds in your Account, your card issuer may charge you a fee and you alone are responsible for that fee.

If you enter into a transaction with a Creator and have a dispute over the Content or services you purchased or, if applicable, any donation you make, we disclaim, and you release us from any liability arising from the transaction or for how the Creator used your payments and/or donations. Our only responsibility is to handle your payment transaction(s) through our Payment Processor. All payments are final unless otherwise required by law.

If you believe that an unauthorized or otherwise problematic transaction has taken place under your Account, you agree to notify us immediately, so that we may take action to prevent financial loss. Unless you submit the claim to us within 30 days after the charge, you will have waived, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all claims against us arising out of or relating to the transaction.
