14.1 Limitation of liability. By accessing, using or downloading
the Service, you acknowledge and agree that such use is at your own risk and that neither the Company nor any
of the parties involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Services or the Company or any of their
affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, employees, officers, directors, consultants, suppliers, advertisers, payment
services promoters, partners, or contractors (collectively "Released Parties") are liable for any direct,
incidental, consequential, indirect, special, or punitive damages, or any other losses, costs, or expenses of
any kind (including, without limitation, lost profits, loss of data, legal fees, expert fees, cost of
procuring substitute services, lost opportunity, or other disbursements) which may arise, directly or
indirectly, through the access to, use of, reliance on any material or content on the Services, or browsing of
the Services or through your downloading of any materials, data, text, images, video or audio from the
Services, specifically including any past, present or future use of "cookies," "get requests," pixels and
other tracking technology, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. To the maximum
extent permitted by law, in no event will the total liability of the Released Parties to you in contract,
tort, negligence or otherwise, whether direct or indirect, or for any amounts exceed the total amount you have
paid the Company in the year immediately preceding your claim. Released Parties cannot and do not warrant or
guarantee continuous, uninterrupted, or secure access to the Services. Without limiting the foregoing,
Released Parties assume no responsibility, and will not be liable, for any damages relating to or caused by
any viruses, bugs, human action or inaction of any computer system, phone line, hardware, software or program
malfunctions, or any other errors, failures or delays in computer transmissions or network connections on
account of your access to or use of the Services.
14.2 Indemnification. By using the Services, you agree to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs of suit) the Released
Parties from any and all third party claims against the Company related in any way to your User Account, your
use of the Services or your access to the Site.
14.3 One year limitations period. You and
Sweet Sweeps agree that any claims, regardless of form, arising
out of or related to the Site (including Services) or these Terms of Use or Privacy Policy must BE FILED
within ONE (1) YEAR of the action, omission, event or occurrence giving rise to the claim or suit, after which
such claims will be time-barred and prohibited, without regard to any longer period of time which may be
provided by any period of limitation or repose by law or statute.
14.4 Sole and exclusive remedy / limitation on recovery. Unless
otherwise prohibited by law, in any dispute with the Released Parties, your sole and exclusive remedy under
any legal theory for any loss or damage whatsoever arising from any cause shall be limited to recovery of the
amount of your own purchases during the one (1) year period prior to the filing of your claim. In no event may
you recover under any theory any amount more than the amount of your own purchases during the one (1) year
period prior to the filing of your claim. In addition, except to the extent prohibited by law or otherwise
allowed by these Terms, you may not seek injunctive relief on your own behalf, on behalf of any class of
persons or for the benefit of the general public.
14.5 You recognize and agree that the warranty disclaimers in
section 13.1, and the indemnities, limitations of liability and limitations of remedies in this section 14,
are material and bargained-for bases of these Terms and that they have been taken into account and reflected
in the decision by you and Sweet Sweeps to enter into these Terms of Use.
14.6 Nothing in these Terms of Use will operate so as to exclude
any liability of Sweet Sweeps for death or personal physical injury that is directly and proximately caused by
Sweet Sweeps' negligence or willful misconduct.
14.7 To the extent any of the limitations of remedy, including
waiver of the right to private or public injunctive relief, are not permitted by law of any applicable
jurisdiction, such limitations shall not apply and shall be deemed as severable and stricken from these Terms.
The parties agree further that such provision(s) shall not affect the enforceability of the Terms or the
arbitration agreement (section 16), which the parties agree shall remain in place and in force less any such
stricken provisions.

Initial Dispute Resolution Procedure and Conference
15.3 The parties shall use best efforts to resolve informally any
customer service issue promptly and in good faith. If for some reason you are not satisfied or your claim is
not resolved (a "Dispute"), you may then pursue arbitration as set out below in Section 16. However, you must
first submit a Notice of Dispute as set forth in this Section 15 and engage in a conference either by
telephonic or videoconference means with Sweet Sweeps prior to
and as a condition precedent to initiating arbitration or any formal proceeding over a Dispute as required by
Section 16.
15.4 The party initiating a claim over a Dispute must give notice
to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an informal dispute resolution conference. The initial
conference shall occur within thirty (30) days after the other party receives such notice or within a time
period required by law, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties.
15.5 All initial dispute resolution conferences shall be
conducted individually, between Sweet Sweeps and you. Multiple
individuals with Disputes cannot participate in the same informal telephonic dispute resolution conference. If
a party is represented by counsel (which such representation will be at such parties' sole cost and expense),
counsel may participate in the conference, but each party shall also attend and participate in the conference.
15.6 To notify
Sweet Sweeps that you intend to initiate an informal dispute
resolution conference, please inform us by sending a Notice of Dispute to
[email protected]
and include the following information:
-
Your username and email address associated with your User Account

-
Your residence address
-
Your telephone number (home and/or mobile)
-
A detailed explanation of the complaint/claim and basis for the claim
-
Any specific dates and times associated with the complaint/claim (if applicable)
-
The remedy, action or any amount you are seeking from
Sweet Sweeps
15.7 Upon receipt of your Notice of Dispute, we will respond in
writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by
the parties. Failure to submit a written communication with the information outlined above may result in a
delay in our ability to identify and respond to your complaint/claim in a timely manner, and may, in Sweet
Sweeps' discretion, extend the time period for resolution before a formal proceeding may be commenced, as
permitted by these Terms.
15.8 The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any
Dispute, claim, question, or disagreement and engage in good faith negotiations which shall be a pre-condition
to either party initiating a formal arbitration as provided in Section 16. If the parties do not reach an
agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time of the initial Notice, then either
party may initiate binding arbitration, to the extent permitted by law, as the sole means to resolve claims,
subject to these Terms and the Arbitration Agreement.
15.9 The aforementioned Notice of Dispute and informal dispute
resolution process is a condition precedent to commencing any formal arbitration proceeding under the
Arbitration Agreement (Section 16 below), including litigation if you have successfully opted-out of the
arbitration agreement. The parties agree that any relevant limitations period or other deadlines will be
tolled solely by the amount of time the parties initiate and engage in this informal dispute resolution
process.
15.10 Regardless of whether you decide to opt out of arbitration,
the terms set forth in this Section 15 Initial Dispute Resolution shall remain in full force and effect as
part of these Terms.
16. Binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver
Please read this arbitration & class action waiver agreement (the "agreement") carefully
because it requires you and Sweet Sweeps to arbitrate certain disputes and claims and limit the manner in
which you and Sweet Sweeps can seek relief from each other. This agreement applies to any claims you or
company currently possess and any claims the parties may raise in the future. While you must agree to these
terms of use in order to use the services, if you have not previously agreed to an arbitration provision in
connection with your use of our service, there is an option, described below in section 16.12, to opt out of
the arbitration provisions. The option to opt-out is time-limited to thirty (30) days of entering this
agreement and requires your immediate attention.
If you reside in or access the service at any time while located in the United States, this section 16
(Binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver agreement) shall be construed under and be subject to
the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding any other choice of law set out in these terms of service.
This agreement includes an arbitration provision which sets forth
how past, pending or future disputes between you and Sweet Sweeps shall be resolved by final and binding
arbitration.
Arbitration means you will not be able to seek damages in court or present your case to a jury.
This arbitration and class action waiver agreement also requires
that any past, pending or future disputes with the company shall proceed for your own losses only. You may not
proceed as a class representative, member or part of any proposed class, collective action, private attorney
general suit, qui tam action, or any representative proceeding, or otherwise seek to recover on behalf of
others or for the benefit of others in any type of claim or action. You and Sweet Sweeps further agree that
any arbitration pursuant to this agreement shall not proceed as a class, group or representative action.
16.1 Acceptance of terms. By using, or otherwise accessing the
Service, or clicking to accept or agree to the Terms where that option is made available, you confirm that you
have read and accept and agree to this Agreement. Except to the extent that you may opt-out as provided below,
all of your activity on the Website or Platform and all or your transactions with Sweet Sweeps, including all
events which occurred before your acceptance of this Agreement, shall be subject to this Agreement.
16.2 Scope of agreement to arbitrate You and Sweet Sweeps agree
that any past, pending, or future dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to any purchase or
transaction by you, your access to or use of any Platform or the Service, or to this Agreement, the Terms of
Use, or Privacy Policy (including without limitation any dispute concerning the breach, enforcement,
construction, validity, interpretation, enforceability, or arbitrability of this Agreement or the Terms of
Use) (a "Dispute"), shall be determined by arbitration, including claims that arose before acceptance of any
version of this Agreement. In addition, in the event of any Dispute concerning or relating to this Agreement —
including the scope, validity, enforceability, or severability of this Agreement or its provisions, as well as
the arbitrability of any claims—you and Sweet Sweeps agree and delegate to the Arbitrator the exclusive
jurisdiction to rule on their own jurisdiction over the Dispute, including any objections with respect to the
scope, validity, enforceability, or severability of this Agreement or its provisions, as well as the
arbitrability of any claims or counterclaims presented as part of the Dispute.
16.3 Small claims exception. Notwithstanding the above provision
and Agreement to Arbitrate, all parties retain the right to seek relief in a small claims court for disputes
or claims solely within the scope of a small claim's court jurisdiction.
16.4 Lack of estoppel or preclusive effect. The parties agree
that any issues determined in arbitration or any other proceeding between the parties shall be conducted and
decided for the benefit of the parties or express third party beneficiaries only and shall have no preclusive
or estoppel effect against a party in any subsequent or other arbitration or litigation matter, such that all
issues shall be decided anew in any subsequent or other proceedings involving either party. The parties reach
this agreement in order to narrowly and efficiently tailor their legal positions without concern that any
third party may attempt to offensively use any finding or determination of fact or law against You or Sweet
Sweeps.
16.5 Third-party beneficiaries. You further agree and intend that
this Agreement and the Terms are entered into for the express benefit of your spouse, heirs, children and
next-of-kin and shall bind same to the extent of any claims arising from your use of the Service which is
brought by them or by any person for the use or benefit of your spouse, heirs, children and next-of-kin. Sweet
Sweeps agrees also that this Agreement is intended to benefit and shall bind any successor-in-interest or
assignee of Sweet Sweeps.
16.6 Intellectual property. Notwithstanding the requirement to
arbitrate in this Section 16, you and Sweet Sweeps are NOT required to arbitrate any claims for the alleged
unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, trade dress, logos, trade secrets, or patents, and the
parties agree that in the event of infringement of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, trade dress, logos,
trade secrets, or patents of a party, they shall also be entitled to seek injunctive relief from a court of
competent jurisdiction, and the parties shall not be able to hold out a user's access to the Service as a
basis to enforce this arbitration agreement as to such claims.
16.7 Separate agreement. The parties acknowledge that this
Agreement is a separate agreement between the parties governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, and that any
alleged or determined invalidity or illegality of all or any part of the Terms of Use, the Service, the
Platform, or the Privacy Policy shall have no effect upon the validity and enforceability of this Agreement.
16.8 Applicable law. While the Federal Arbitration Act shall
control, to the extent the law of any state is applied or considered with respect to issues bearing upon the
enforceability or scope of this Agreement, the parties agree that the law of the State of Delaware shall
exclusively apply, notwithstanding any consideration or application of choice of law or conflicts of law
principles.
Initiating arbitration under JAMS rules.
16.9 Following the conclusion of the initial dispute resolution
process required by Section 15, you or Sweet Sweeps may seek arbitration of a Dispute in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement. You and Sweet Sweeps agree that JAMS ("JAMS") will administer the arbitration
under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures ("JAMS Rules") in effect at the time arbitration is
sought. The parties further agree that, to the extent applicable, the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and
Guidelines shall apply. The JAMS Rules referenced above are available at
https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures/
You and Sweet Sweeps further agree:
16.9.1 The arbitration will be handled on the merits by a sole
arbitrator. The parties agree that any JAMS arbitrator appointed, including merits and process arbitrators,
must have the following minimum qualification: practicing attorneys or retired federal court judges who have
at least ten years of substantive expertise in litigating and resolving of complex business disputes,
including motions to compel arbitration and litigation or adjudication regarding whether disputes are
arbitrable;
16.9.2 For purpose of Sections 16.1 and 16.2 of the JAMS Rules,
the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures and JAMS Expedited Procedures shall not apply unless
otherwise explicitly agreed to by all parties to the Dispute;
16.9.3 In lieu of JAMS Rule 15, the parties shall be presented
with a list of eight (8) potential arbitrators, be allowed three (3) strikes and the parties shall rank those
potential arbitrators in order of preference. JAMS shall select the arbitrator with the highest combined
preference (e.g., if both parties select a potential arbitrator as their top preference, that arbitrator will
be selected). To the extent a process arbitrator is appointed pursuant to the JAMS Rules, the selection
process shall also be as prescribed in this paragraph;
16.9.4 In lieu of JAMS Rule 18, the parties shall have the right
to submit a dispositive motion at the outset of the arbitration to the Arbitrator in order to resolve issues
other than the ultimate issue of fact. The submission and scheduling of such motions shall be addressed at a
conference held before the JAMS arbitrator, and the Parties agree that any dispositive motions shall be
resolved and the remainder of the arbitral proceeding stayed pending resolution, absent good cause and
immediate necessity to proceed.
16.9.5 Unless and only to the extent prohibited under JAMS Rules,
the arbitration will be held in [Wilmington, Delaware] or, at either your or our election, will be conducted
telephonically or via other remote electronic means;
16.9.6 The JAMS Rules will govern payment of all arbitration
fees, currently available at
https://www.jamsadr.com/arbitration-fees
, You will only be required to pay arbitration fees of $250 in connection with any arbitration initiated under
this Section 16, but You will still be responsible for paying your own attorneys' fees;
16.9.7 Except as otherwise waived or limited under the Terms or
this Agreement, the JAMS arbitrator shall be authorized to award any remedies, including equitable or
injunctive relief, that would be available in an individual lawsuit except:
(a) In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrator(s) are not empowered to
award punitive or exemplary damages, and the parties waive any right to recover any such damages; and
(b) In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrator(s) may not award any
incidental, indirect or consequential damages, including damages for lost profits;
16.9.8 The arbitration decision and award shall consist of a
written statement signed by the Arbitrator regarding the disposition of each claim and the relief, if any, as
to each claim. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the award shall be a reasoned award and contain a concise
written statement of the reasons for the award;
16.9.9 Except as and to the extent otherwise may be required by
law, the arbitration proceeding, pleadings, and any award shall be treated as confidential and shall not be
used by the parties except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary
remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its confirmation and enforcement.
16.9.10 In the event JAMS is unavailable or unwilling to hear the
dispute in accordance with this Agreement, the parties shall agree to, or a court shall select, another
arbitration provider subject to the procedural agreements of this Section 16; and
16.9.11 You and Sweet Sweeps agree that any award issued by the
Arbitrator in excess of $50,000 in favor of either party, or any award which grants any form of declaratory or
equitable relief that would significantly impact other Sweet Sweeps users or the operation of the Platform,
may be appealed in accordance with the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedures at either party's election.
The JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedures are available at
(link) .
16.10 Batch arbitration/mediation. To increase efficiency of
resolution, in the event 20 or more similar arbitration demands against Sweet Sweeps, presented by or with the
assistance of the same law firm or organization or group of law firms or organizations working in
coordination, are submitted to JAMS in accordance with the rules described above within a 60-day period, JAMS
shall consolidate those arbitrations as contemplated in the JAMS Mass Arbitration Rules. Following the
submission, initial presentation and resolution of briefing and motion practice contemplated in Section 16.9.4
on dispositive issues other than the ultimate issue of fact, to the extent claims and issues remain pending,
JAMS shall group the arbitration demands into a first batch of no more than 25 demands to be set for
resolution as a single arbitration. Once resolution of the first batch has concluded (or sooner if the parties
agree),counsel for the parties must engage in a single mediation before a JAMS mediator of all remaining
demands from claimants. Counsel for the parties must agree on a mediator within thirty (30) days after
conclusion of the first batch. If the parties cannot agree on a JAMS mediator within 30 days, JAMS will
appoint a JAMS mediator as an administrative matter. All parties will cooperate for the purpose of ensuring
that the mediation is scheduled as quickly as practicable after the mediator is appointed. If the parties are
unable to resolve their demands by mediation, JAMS shall continue to batch the remaining arbitration demands
into batches of no more than 100 demands per batch (plus, to the extent there are fewer than 100 arbitration
demands left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining demands) for
administration. A single arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees and one arbitrator will be
assigned per batch. For avoidance of doubt, consolidation does not require that all arbitrations in a single
batch be decided the same, nor does it impair your right to present any evidence or argument that you think
particular to your case, so long as it is consistent with JAMS Rules. You agree to cooperate in good faith
with the Company and JAMS to implement such a batch approach to resolution and fees and to efficiently
consolidate discovery, submission of evidence, and motion practice.
16.11 By signing a demand for arbitration, a party certifies, to
the best of their knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the
circumstances, that: (i) the demand for arbitration is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as
to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (ii) the claims and
other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a non-frivolous argument for extending, modifying,
or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (iii) the factual contentions have evidentiary
support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity
for further investigation or discovery. The Arbitrator shall be authorized to afford any relief or impose any
sanctions available under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 or any applicable state law (including attorney's
fees) for either party's violation of this requirement.
Option and procedure to opt out of arbitration
16.12 If you have not previously agreed to an arbitration
provision in connection with your use of our service, you may opt out of the agreement to arbitrate by
following the instructions below. If you do not opt-out, the arbitration provisions will apply retroactively
to all claims you may possess, whether asserted to date or not.
16.13 Opt-Out If you do not wish to agree to the provisions of
this section 16 agreement requiring arbitration and class action waiver and you have not previously agreed to
an arbitration provision in connection with your use of our service, you must, within thirty (30) days of
entering this agreement, [send an email to
[email protected]
with the subject "opt-out"]. Requests to opt out after the 30 day period shall not be effective.
16.14 Whether to agree to arbitration is an important decision.
It is your decision to make and you are not required to rely solely on the information provided in these terms
of use. You should take reasonable steps to conduct further research and to consult with counsel (at your
expense) regarding the consequences of your decision.
Waiver of class relief and collective action
16.15 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither
you nor Sweet Sweeps shall be entitled to arbitrate or litigate any dispute in a representative capacity. You
may only arbitrate or litigate on an individual claims basis only and for your own losses only. Under this
agreement, you may not proceed in arbitration or court as a class representative, member or part of any
proposed class, collective action, private attorney general suit, qui tam action or any representative
proceeding, or otherwise seek to recover on behalf of others or for the benefit or use of others in any type
of claim or action. You and Sweet Sweeps are each waiving respective rights to participate in a class action.
By accepting this agreement, you give up your right to participate in any past, pending or future class action
or any other consolidated or representative proceeding, including any proceeding existing as of the date you
agreed to this agreement.
16.16 Severability This Agreement applies solely to the extent
permitted by law. If for any reason any provision of this Agreement or portion thereof, is found to be
unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part of this Agreement will be deemed severable and shall not affect
the validity and enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement which shall continue in full force and
effect. To the fullest extent allowable by law and equity, the parties agree that any such provision may be
blue-penciled or otherwise construed by the forum presiding over any dispute to give effect to the intent of
the parties and consistent with the overall purpose and intent of the agreement, and may be deemed replaced by
an enforceable provision that comes closest to the intention underlying the unenforceable provision.
End of section 16 arbitration agreement.
17. Waiver of jury trial
17.1 Each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly
arising out of or relating to the Platform or Services or any transactions between the parties, whether based
on contract, tort or any other theory.
18. Miscellaneous

provision may be blue-penciled or otherwise construed by the forum presiding over any dispute to give effect
to the intent of the parties and consistent with the overall purpose and intent of the agreement, and may be
deemed replaced by an enforceable provision that comes closest to the intention underlying the unenforceable
provision.
18.5 Assignment. These Terms are personal to you, and are not
assignable, transferable or sub-licensable by you except with our prior written consent. We reserve the right
to assign, transfer or delegate any of our rights and obligations hereunder to any third party without notice
