13. Arbitration Agreement and Waiver of Certain Rights
13.1 Arbitration:
You and Talkadot agree to resolve any disputes between you and Talkadot through binding and final arbitration instead of through court proceedings. You and Talkadot each hereby waive any right to a jury trial of any controversy, claim, counterclaim, or other dispute arising between you and Talkadot 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.
13.2 Costs and Fees:
If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Talkadot 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.
13.3 No Preclusions:
This arbitration agreement does not preclude you or Talkadot from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and Talkadot each also have the right to bring any qualifying Claim in small claims court. In addition, you and Talkadot 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.
13.4 No Class Representative or Private Attorney General:
You and Talkadot 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 Talk). The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.
13.5 Severability/No Waiver/Survival:
If any provision of this Section 13 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 13 will continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this Section 13 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 13 will survive the termination of your relationship with Talkadot.
13.6 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: Talkadot Corp, 3225 McCleod Drive, Las Vegas, NV, 89121. Your notice must include your name and address, any usernames, each email address you have used to 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.
13.7 LIMITATIONS:
This Section 13 limits certain rights, including the right to maintain certain cou 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 Talkadot would have in court may not be available in arbitration.

15.3 Subscriptions
Some of our Services are billed on a subscription basis (we call these “Subscriptions”). This means that you will be billed in advance on a recurring, periodic basis (each period is called a “billing cycle”). Billing cycles are typically monthly or annual, depending on what subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription.

You are responsible for paying Taxes associated with your purchase and keeping your billing information up to date.
(a) United States Sales Tax. If we have a legal obligation to pay or collect sales tax for which you are responsible, we will calculate the sales tax based upon the billing information we have about you and charge you that amount (which, if your billing information is incomplete or inaccurate, may be the highest prevailing rate then in effect), unless you timely provide us with a valid tax exemption certificate acceptable to the appropriate taxing authority.
To be timely, you must provide us with a tax exemption certificate before your initial purchase or upgrade, or, if you miss that mark, within 90 days after such purchase or upgrade, unless your billing information is in Alabama, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, or South Carolina in which case within 60 days; or if in Hawaii, Mississippi, or New Mexico within 45 days.
If you provide us with a tax exemption certificate, you represent and warrant that it accurately reflects your tax status and that you will keep such document current and accurate.
If we have collected sales tax from you and subsequently determine in our sole discretion that your tax exemption certificate is valid, we will refund the sales tax collected based on applicable state tax laws.
(b) Non-United States Sales Tax. If applicable, we will charge you VAT, GST or any other sales, consumption or use taxes that arise in connection with your purchases of Talkadot Services unless you provide us with a tax identification number that entitles you to an exemption, a valid tax exemption certificate or other documentary proof issued by an appropriate taxing authority that tax should not be charged. If you are located in a jurisdiction with multiple sales, consumption or use taxes, we may charge you the highest prevailing rate if your billing information is incomplete or inaccurate.
If you are required by law to withhold any Taxes from your payments to Talkadot, you must provide Talkadot with an official tax receipt or other appropriate documentation to support such payments.
15.5 Price Changes
Talkadot may change the fees charged to you for the Services at any time, provided that, for Subscriptions, the change will become effective only at the end of the then-current billing cycle of your Subscription. Talkadot will provide you with advance notice of any change in fees.

Talkadot does not represent that it has reviewed such third party websites and is not responsible for them or any content appearing on them. Trademarks displayed in conjunction with the Services are the property of their respective owners.
22.1 Keep Your Password Secure.
If you have been issued an account by Talkadot in connection with your use of the Services, you are responsible for safeguarding your password and any other credentials used to access that account. You, and not Talkadot, are responsible for any activity occurring in your account (other than activity that Talkadot is directly responsible for which is not performed in accordance with your instructions), whether or not you authorized that activity. If you become aware of any unauthorized access to your account, you should notify Talkadot immediately. Accounts may not be shared and may only be used by one individual per account.

23. Suspension and Termination of Services
23.1 Suspension by you.
You can terminate your Subscription and delete your account at any time by contacting us. Such termination and deletion will result in the deactivation or disablement of your account and access to it, and the deletion of content you collected through use of the Services. Terminations are confirmed immediately, and you will not be charged again for that Subscription unless you purchase a new one. If you terminate a Subscription in the middle of a billing cycle, you will not receive a refund unless you are terminating these Terms for any of the following reasons: (a) we have materially breached these Terms and failed to cure that breach within 30 days after you have so notified us in writing; (b) a refund is required by law; or (c) we, in our sole discretion, determine a refund is appropriate. For clarity, we will not grant a refund where you have used our Services, collected responses, and/or downloaded your responses unless the termination is due to our material, uncured breach or a refund is required by law.
23.2 Suspension by Talkadot
(a) For Convenience. Talkadot may terminate your Subscription effective at the end of a billing cycle by providing at least 30 days’ prior written notice to you without refund for any prior period. Additionally, Talkadot may terminate your Subscription at any time during the billing cycle by providing at least 90 days’ written notice to you and will provide a pro rata refund for any period of time you did not use in that billing cycle.
(b) For Cause. Talkadot may suspend performance or terminate your Subscription for any of the following reasons: (a) you have materially breached these Terms and failed to cure that breach within 30 days after Talkadot has so notified you in writing; (b) you cease your business operations or become subject to insolvency proceedings and the proceedings are not dismissed within 90 days; or (c) you fail to pay fees for 30 days past the due date. Additionally, Talkadot may limit, suspend, or terminate the Services to you: (i) if you fail to comply with these Terms, (ii) if you use the Services in a way that causes legal liability to us or disrupts others’ use of the Services; or (iii) if we are investigating suspected misconduct by you.
Also, if we limit, suspend, or terminate the Services you receive, depending upon the reason, we will endeavor to give you advance notice and an opportunity to obtain a copy of your User Content from that Service. However, there may be time sensitive situations where Talkadot may decide that we need to take immediate action without notice. Talkadot will use commercially reasonable efforts to narrow the scope and duration of any limitation or suspension under this Section as is needed to resolve the issue that prompted such action. Talkadot has no obligation to retain your User Content upon termination of the applicable Service.
24. Downgrades
Downgrading your account plan may cause the loss of User Content, features, functionality, or capacity of your account.
25. Talkadot (Free) Plan Response Limits.
Under Talkadot's Basic (free) plan, you only can access a limited amount of Restricted Content as specified in your plan details. When you exceed those limits, you will be blocked from accessing and using Restricted Content, including Restricted Content that you had accessed prior to exceeding the limits, and your content may be subject to deletion beginning 60 days after your exceeding the limits (at Talkadot’s sole discretion) if you do not upgrade to a plan that enable your continued Restricted Content access. In the event of your exceeding your Restricted Content access limits, your retaining access to, and preventing deletion of, Restricted Content, requires your upgrading to a paid Talkadot plan. This condition applies to all Restricted Content, including but not limited to any content provided by third parties through the Services such as lead email addresses.
