20. Enforcement.

These Terms of Use shall be governed and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States of America, notwithstanding any principles of conflicts of law.

All disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use shall be finally resolved by arbitration conducted in the English language in Boston, MA, U.S.A. under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. The parties shall appoint as sole arbitrator a retired judge who presided in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The parties shall bear equally the cost of the arbitration (except that the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the arbitration in such an amount as may be determined by the arbitrator). All decisions of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both parties and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GearSay shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, security, or other equitable remedies from federal and state courts located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any other court of competent jurisdiction. Under no circumstances shall the arbitrator be authorized to award punitive damages for any reason, including pursuant to but not limited to federal or state statutes permitting multiple or punitive damage awards. Any purported award of punitive or multiple damages shall be beyond the arbitrator's authority, void, and unenforceable.

This arbitration agreement does not preclude you or GearSay from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and GearSay each also have the right to bring any qualifying claim in small claims court. In addition, you and GearSay 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 of Use or a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in these Terms of Use.

You and GearSay 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 GearSay). The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.

21.Severability.

If any part of these Terms of Use is held to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part will be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

22.Entire Agreement.

These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter herein. We may, at our sole discretion and without notice, revise these terms at any time by updating this posting. If there is a conflict between these terms and the updated terms, the updated terms will control for that conflict.

If you do not comply with these terms and we don't take action right away, that doesn't mean that we are giving up any rights that we may have, including taking action in the future.

23.For Additional Information.

Our AskAnswer (request advice) feature

In addition to the foregoing, the following terms apply to the feature on GearSay that allows Users to request advice from other athletes. In the event of any inconsistency between the foregoing and the following terms, the following terms shall apply

1. AskAnswer - Users (Requesters)

GearSay's AskAnswer feature enables users of GearSay to purchase advice from athletes and other experts (each, an "Expert"). That advice will be delivered to you in the form of video created by the Expert or in any other form that may be made available from time to time ("Expert Response"). If you are requesting advice through our AskAnswer feature, please keep in mind at all times that the advice you are receiving is the opinion of the Expert and no other person, and that it may or may not be suitable for you. Regardless of the information you share with the Expert as part of your request for advice, the Expert does not know your skills, your background, your personal health, any current or prior injuries or illnesses, the environment or conditions in which you may apply the advice or any other circumstances that may or may not make the advice suitable for you. You alone are responsible for considering the suitability of the advice and neither the Expert, nor GearSay, nor any other person shall have any liability to you for any damages, losses, injuries or death you may suffer as a result of applying the advice. If you do not agree to these terms you may not use our AskAnswer feature.

a.You acknowledge and agree that the Expert has sole discretion to determine how to fulfill your request and the content of the Expert Response created may not follow your request exactly. You agree that the delivery of the Expert Response to you shall be deemed to be in full satisfaction of GearSay's and the Expert's obligations to you and that you shall have no right to a refund following your receipt of the Expert Response. b.We reserve the right to reject or cancel any request in our sole discretion, including if your payment method is declined. Once your request is fulfilled, your payment method will be charged the amount specified on the GearSay website at the time you submitted the request (the "AskAnswer Fee"). From the time you request advice until the time that the Expert completes the Video, a hold will be placed on your payment method in the amount of the AskAnswer Fee. c.Expert Responses created in response to your AskAnswer request are licensed, not sold, to you. You are purchasing the right (or license) to use it, not the actual video itself. d.The fee for an Expert Response is specified by the Expert on GearSay when you make your request. You agree to pay all amounts due in accordance with the payment terms in effect when you submit your request or purchase merchandise. e.All transactions are in U.S. dollars ("USD") unless otherwise specified at point of purchase. f.You may request an Expert Response by using a valid payment card through the payment provider we select. You must provide the third party payment provider with valid payment information. GearSay does not operate, own, or control the payment provider. Your use of your payment card is governed by your agreement with and the privacy policy of the payment provider, not these Terms. You agree to immediately notify the payment provider of any change in your billing address (or other information) for your payment card. g.You agree that GearSay may place a pre-authorization hold and, after your request has been fulfilled, authorize the payment provider to immediately charge you for all amounts due and payable with no additional notice to or consent from you. h.GearSay reserves the right at any time to change its fees and payment procedures, including its payment options and terms, either immediately upon posting on the GearSay site or by other notice to you. i.You may not return or exchange an Expert Response and no refunds will be issued. j.Subject to your payment in full, GearSay and its licensors grant to you a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, worldwide, sublicensable, revocable license to use, reproduce, distribute, and publicly display the Expert Response, in any and all media (for example, on social media platforms), whether now known or hereafter invented or devised, solely for your own personal, non-commercial, and non-promotional purposes. You may sublicense your rights in an Expert Response only to the extent necessary to enable you to use the Expert Response for your own personal, non-commercial, and non-promotional purposes. You may not sell, re-sell, or encumber your rights in any Expert Response. k.You may use an Expert Response only in accordance with these Terms. We may terminate all or part of the foregoing licenses at any time for any reason. We reserve the right to remove an Expert Response from our Site at any time for any reason without any notice to you. l.GearSay will not be liable or responsible for the content of any Expert Response requested by you or any submission you make.You have no expectation of privacy with respect to any Expert Response requested by you or any submission you make in connection with your request, and you agree that you will not make any request or submission that infringes on the privacy or other rights of a third party. You agree not to edit, change, modify, cover, or remove the watermark from any Expert Response or assist or encourage any third party to do so; you further agree not to edit, change, modify, or create any derivative work of an Expert Response or assist or encourage any third party to do so. m.If you have a question about a charge to your payment card, please contact us at support@gearsay.com. We have the sole discretion to determine how billing disputes between us will be resolved.

2.AskAnswer - Experts

a.From time to time, GearSay users may ask you for advice through our AskAnswer feature. While we hope you will provide that advice promptly after receiving a request for it, you may have up to seven days (at GearSay's sole discretion) to complete and upload the Expert Response. If you do not either: (i) accept the request and upload the Expert Response within the seven day window; or (ii) decline the request; the request will expire at the end of the seven day window, and can no longer be fulfilled (except that you may fulfill the expired request at no cost to the user and with no payment due from us). b.You may decline a request or otherwise refuse, in your discretion, to create or upload an Expert Response if a user's request is objectionable or otherwise offensive to you, by contacting us at support@gearsay.com. If you accept a request, you agree to record and upload to GearSay one Expert Response. c.GearSay retains the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel any request from a user. No payment will be made to you for any declined, cancelled, or unfulfilled Expert Response request. d.Each Expert Response should reflect your good faith effort to provide the advice or other information requested by the user. You will have sole discretion over the content of any Expert Response, except that you agree that you will use your name (please introduce yourself) and the requesting user's name in each Expert Response, unless otherwise requested by the user. Your response to the user's request is your responsibility and at your discretion, subject to these Terms; however, keep in mind that you are an ambassador for your sport and can build a lifeline fan through the quality of your video so please do your best to be as helpful as possible to the requesting user. If you complete an Expert Response but do not follow the general directions and requests of the user, we reserve the right to discuss with you an appropriate adjustment of the payment made to you. e.You set your own price for each Expert Response you choose to make available through AskAnswer (the "AskAnswer Fee") f.Other than with respect to an expired request that you choose to fulfill (as set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section) and subject to these Terms of Use, we will pay you 85% of the AskAnswer Fee actually received by GearSay for each Expert Response that you created and delivered to fulfill a User's request that you accepted through our Site. We reserve the right to change such allocation from time to time upon notice to you. g.You represent and warrant that: (i) there will be no residual or any other type of payment due from GearSay to you or to any third party in connection with any Expert Response, payment from us to you, or the GearSay site; (ii) GearSay is not responsible for, and will not make any deduction to payments made to you for any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, or payments of any kind to or with respect to any third party, including any manager, agent, attorney, representative, or service provider, in connection with any revenue earned by or payments made to you in connection with our Site; and (iii) GearSay is not responsible for any contributions, payments, taxes, or deductions for Social Security, retirement benefits, unemployment insurance, annuities, or pension or welfare fund payments required by law or any labor union, or any withholding or income taxes. h.If you are or may become subject to NCAA rules and regulations or those of any other association, group, authority or organization, you represent and warrant that you have checked the rules and regulations to verify and confirm that your participation in AskAnswer or in any other way on GearSay does not or will not affect your current or future eligibility with respect to any such association, group, authority or organization. i.You agree to register with the third party payment provider selected by GearSay, which GearSay may change in its sole discretion. You may not use a payment provider other than the one selected by GearSay. You will provide the payment provider any information required in order to receive payments via the payment provider. Any payments due to you from GearSay will be made via the payment provider. If you do not provide the payment provider with all required information, you may not be able to receive the payments due to you. GearSay will not be responsible for any damages, delays, losses, costs, expenses, or liabilities arising out of or in connection with your inability to receive payments as a result of your failure to provide such information. Subject to the payment provider's terms, payment will be made within approximately two weeks of receipt by GearSay of the AskAnswer Fee. You acknowledge and agree that GearSay does not operate, own, or control the payment provider; and your use of any payment provider is subject to the terms and privacy policies of that payment provider. You agree that we are not responsible for any delay, failure, damage, or liability caused by a payment provider, any other third party, a force majeure, or your failure to timely or properly set up an account with the payment provider or otherwise provide requested information for payment.
