OR THE APP ON YOUR DEVICE

These Terms of Use (these “Terms”) constitute a legal agreement between you and NTRSCTN, Inc. (“RENDEZ,” “us,” “our,” or “we”) in respect of your use of the RENDEZ website (https://www.joinrendez.com/) (the “Site”) or mobile application and the services provided through the application (individually and collectively, the “App” and together with the Site, the “Services”).

By accessing the Services, downloading and installing the App onto your device, or clicking on the “Accept” button below, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, we do not grant you permission to use the Services, and you must not use the Services and you must uninstall the App from your device. We may immediately terminate these Terms, the Services, or generally cease offering or deny access to the App or any portion thereof, at any time for any reason.

By agreeing to these Terms, you expressly agree to the arbitration of all Disputes (as defined below) as further described in this paragraph and in Section 17.2 below. Any controversy, allegation, or claim that arises out of or relates to the Services, these Terms, or any additional terms, whether heretofore or hereafter arising (collectively, a “Dispute”), except for any controversy, allegation, or claim that arises out of or relates to our intellectual property rights (an “Excluded Dispute”), shall be finally resolved by arbitration. The parties agree to arbitrate solely on an individual basis, and that these Terms do not permit class arbitration or any claims brought as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator or arbitral panel may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. In the event the prohibition on class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining portions of the foregoing arbitration provisions will remain in force.

We only supply the Services for domestic, personal and private use. You agree not to use the Services for any commercial, business or resale purposes, and we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

17. 1. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. These Terms are governed by California law, without regard to conflict of laws principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You and RENDEZ agree that, except as otherwise provided below, the state and federal courts located in the County of Los Angeles, California will have exclusive jurisdiction of all Disputes arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Services and agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of these courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, RENDEZ shall be allowed to apply for equitable remedies (including injunctions) in any jurisdiction.

17.2. Binding Arbitration.

17.2. (a) Arbitration Procedures. You and RENDEZ agree that, except as provided in Section 17.2(d) below, all Disputes, (each a “Claim”), shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration, which may be initiated by either party by sending a written notice requesting arbitration to the other party. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. The arbitration will be conducted under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “JAMS Rules”) and under the terms set forth in these Terms. In the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in this Section 17 (Dispute Resolution) and the JAMS Rules, the terms in this Section will control and prevail.

Except as otherwise set forth in Section (d) below, you may seek any remedies available to you under federal, state or local laws in an arbitration action. As part of the arbitration, both you and RENDEZ will have the opportunity for discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator will provide a written statement of the arbitrator’s decision regarding the Claim, the award given and the arbitrator’s findings and conclusions on which the arbitrator’s decision is based. The determination of whether a Claim is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Except as otherwise provided in these Terms, (a) you and RENDEZ may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator, and (b) the arbitrator’s decision shall be final, binding on all parties and enforceable in any court that has jurisdiction, provided that any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to follow applicable law.

17.2. (b) Location. The arbitration will take place in Los Angeles, California unless the parties agree to video, phone or internet connection appearances.

17.2. (c) Limitations. You and RENDEZ agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Claim between RENDEZ and you individually. YOU AND RENDEZ AGREE THAT (A) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES, (B) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, AND (C) NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION.

17.2. (d) Exceptions to Arbitration. You and RENDEZ agree that the following Claims are not subject to the above provisions concerning negotiations and binding arbitration: (i) any Excluded Dispute, (ii) any Claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, or unauthorized use, and (iii) any claim for equitable relief. In addition to the foregoing, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for Claims that are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration.

17.2. (e) Arbitration Fees. If you initiate arbitration for a Claim, you will need to pay the JAMS arbitration initiation fee. If we are initiating arbitration for a Claim, we will pay all costs charged by JAMS for initiating the arbitration. All other fees and costs of the arbitration will be charged pursuant to the JAMS Rules.

17.2. (f) Severability. You and RENDEZ agree that if any portion of this Section is found illegal or unenforceable (except any portion of Section 17.2.(d)), that portion shall be severed and the remainder of the Section shall be given full force and effect. If Section 17.2.(d) is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor RENDEZ will elect to arbitrate any Claim falling within that portion of Section 17.2.(d) found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Claim shall be exclusively decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the County of Los Angeles, California, and you and RENDEZ agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

18. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS

These Terms are binding upon you, your heirs, executors, beneficiaries, successors and assigns and you may not assign your rights or delegate your obligations hereunder to any other party without our prior written consent. Such consent may be withheld in our sole discretion, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void. To the extent permitted under applicable law, we may assign our rights and delegate our obligations under these Terms to any third party without notice to you, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms.

If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce any of our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived any of our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.

Each of the conditions of these Terms operates separately. If any court or competent authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, such provisions shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining conditions will remain in full force and effect. Other than as expressly set out in these Terms, no one other than you and us is intended to have any right or ability to enforce any of the provisions of these Terms.

To the extent permitted under applicable law, we may assign our rights and delegate our obligations hereunder to any party without notice thereof to you.

These Terms were last updated on October 7, 2021.
