17. Arbitration Agreement and Waiver of Certain Rights

  1. Arbitration: You and 'Members' agree to resolve any disputes between you and 'Members' through binding and final arbitration instead of through court proceedings. You and 'Members' each hereby waive any right to a jury trial of any controversy, claim, counterclaim, or other dispute arising between you and 'Members' relating to these Terms or our Mobile application (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.

  2. Costs and Fees: If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, 'Members' 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.

  3. No Preclusions: This arbitration agreement does not preclude you or 'Members' from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and 'Members' each also have the right to bring any qualifying Claim in small claims court. In addition, you and 'Members' 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.

  4. No Class Representative or Private Attorney General: You and 'Members' 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 'Members'). The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.

  5. Severability/No Waiver/Survival: If any provision of this Section 17 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 17 will continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this Section 17 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 17 will survive the termination of your relationship with 'Members'.

  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: Members group, Inc. dba 'Members', 864 prospect street, La Jolla, CA 92037. Your notice must include your name and address, any usernames, each email address you have used to submit your 'Members' Video requests or set up an account on our Mobile application (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.

  7. LIMITATIONS: This Section 17 limits certain rights, including the right to maintain certain court 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 'Members' would have in court may not be available in arbitration.

18. Other Provisions

  1. Force Majeure: Under no circumstances will any 'Members' Party be liable for any delay or failure in performance due in whole or in part to any acts of God (such as earthquakes, storms, floods, etc.), epidemics, natural disasters, unavoidable accidents, internet and communication service interruptions, laws, rules, regulations or orders of government authorities, acts of war (declared or not), terrorism, hostilities, blockades, civil disturbances, embargoes, strikes, or any other event or cause beyond the reasonable control of any 'Members' Party.

  2. Choice of Law and Jurisdiction: These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any conflict of laws rules or provisions. You agree that any action of whatever nature arising from or relating to these Terms or our Mobile application will be filed only in the state or federal courts located in California. You consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of any such action.

  3. Severability: If any provision of these Terms 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 from these Terms and will not affect the enforceability of any other provision.

  4. No Waiver or Amendment: The failure by 'Members' to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not prevent 'Members' from enforcing such right or provision in the future and will not be deemed to modify these Terms.

  5. Assignment: 'Members' may, at any time, assign its rights and obligations under these Terms, including to an affiliated entity or in connection with a sale of assets, merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, other transaction, or by operation of law.

  6. Miscellaneous: The term “including” in these Terms will be interpreted broadly and will mean “including, without limitation.” Titles are for convenience only and will not be considered when interpreting these Terms.

'Members' CUSTOMER REFERRAL PROGRAM

Last Updated: April 13, 2020

‍

These Additional Terms (which are Additional Terms as described in Section 5 of the Mobile application Terms of Service (“Site Terms”) govern your use of the Customer Referral Program (defined below). “You” and “User” refers to you as a user of the Mobile application and of the Customer Referral Program.

  1. We provide each User who has created a Mobile application account with a unique referral URL (“URL”) that may be shared with the User’s friends, family members, or other personal contacts and used by them when they create a User Mobile application account for the first time, pursuant to the terms set out below (“Customer Referral Program”).

  2. Participation in the Customer Referral Program is limited to: (a) each User; and (b) User’s friends, family members, or personal contacts who have never either: (i) purchased a 'Members' Video, DM, or Sticker (even without creating a Mobile application account); or(ii) created a Mobile application account. Employees, officers, directors, contractors, agents, and representatives of 'Members' may not participate.

  3. For each eligible friend, family member, or personal contact who creates a User Mobile application account for the first time using your URL (each, a “Referred User”), 'Members' will issue a one-time credit to the Referred User and, after the Referred User’s first purchase of a 'Members' Video priced at the minimum amount specified or more, to you (each, a “Customer Referral Credit”) as described below:

  1. After the Referred User creates a Mobile application account, 'Members' will issue a Customer Referral Credit to the Referred User’s Mobile application account (in approximately one or two business days); and

  2. After the Referred User makes their first request on the Mobile application for a 'Members' Video priced at the minimum amount specified or more (a 'Members' Video only; not a 'Members' Direct, Sticker, or merchandise) and that request is paid for and fulfilled (excluding any 'Members' Video for which a promo code was used and, at 'Members'’s discretion, that was subject to a promotion), 'Members' will issue a Customer Referral Credit for that Referred User to the referring User’s (your) account (in approximately one or two business days from the date on which the request for the 'Members' video was fulfilled).

  1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Additional Terms, you acknowledge and agree that:

  1. a new User will not be one of your Referred Users under the Customer Referral Program and no Customer Referral Credit will be due to that new User or you if:

  1. your URL is not used when a new User creates a new Mobile application account;

  2. your friend, family member, or personal contact has previously either purchased a 'Members' Video, DM, or Sticker (with or without creating a Mobile application account) or created a Mobile application account, (with or without another URL), whether or not, in either case, under the same or different name or email address, or otherwise; or

  3. anyone else has received or is receiving a Customer Referral Credit in connection with that friend, family member, or personal contact.

  1. each new User may have only one referring User, and we are not obligated to pay more than one Customer Referral Credit to each Referred User for creation of a Mobile application account or to pay a Customer Referral Credit to more than one referring User with respect to any Referred User.

  1. Any Customer Referral Credit received from 'Members' will be maintained in your Mobile application account and may be redeemed only for your purchase of a 'Members' Video, DM, or Sticker (not 'Members' merchandise) from our Mobile application. If your Mobile application account has a credit balance when you make a purchase while logged into your Mobile application account, the balance will be redeemed for that purchase (until fully redeemed) and your payment card will be charged for any remaining portion of the purchase price; any remaining balance will remain in your Mobile application account to be redeemed for your next purchase. If you have a credit balance in your Mobile application account, you may not use a promo code and, at 'Members'’s discretion, might not be able to participate in an offering that is subject to a promotion. A credit balance is not refundable, may not be redeemed for cash, cannot be transferred, cannot be used outside of the Mobile application, and expires or extinguishes immediately when redeemed.

  2. The Customer Referral Program may be used only for personal purposes and you may share your URL only with your personal connections. You may not advertise your URL or share it with anyone other than your friends, family, or other personal contacts. The Customer Referral Program cannot be used for any commercial purpose, including affiliate lead generation. The Customer Referral Program is void where prohibited by law.

  3. You represent and warrant that when you share your URL with your personal connections, you will: (a) distribute it in a personal manner; (b) not distribute it in a bulk manner; and (c) not create or send any unsolicited commercial email or a “spam” message under any applicable law or regulation. Any sharing that does not meet these requirements is expressly prohibited and constitutes grounds for immediate termination of your Mobile application account, including deletion of any Customer Referral Credits, and your participation in the Customer Referral Program. Any Mobile application account created using a URL that was distributed through an unauthorized channel will not be valid and any Customer Referral Fees issued in connection with that Mobile application account may be revoked.

  4. We reserve the right to deactivate your Mobile application account and any Referred User’s Mobile application account, cancel all related Customer Referral Credits, and seek repayment, if we determine, in our sole discretion, that either you or the Referred User has: (a) tampered with the Customer Referral Program; (b) used (or attempted to use) the Customer Referral Program in a fraudulent, abusive, unethical, unsportsmanlike, or otherwise questionable or suspicious manner; (c) breached any of these Additional Terms; or (d) violated any law or regulation or infringed or violated the rights of any third party.

  5. Credits do not expire, but the terms of the Customer Referral Program are subject to change at any time, for any reason, in our sole discretion. 'Members' reserves, at any time, for any reason, in its sole discretion to:

  1. suspend or terminate the Customer Referral Program;

  2. disqualify anyone from participating in the Customer Referral Program; and

  3. revoke, refuse to issue, or refuse to redeem any Customer Referral Credits that we suspect were generated through improper channels or in violation of these Additional Terms.

Without limiting the foregoing, we reserve the right to review and investigate activities undertaken in connection with the Customer Referral Program and suspend your Mobile application account, revoke all Customer Referral Fees, or take other action in our sole discretion.

  1. By participating in the Customer Referral Program, you agree to release and hold harmless 'Members' Parties from and against any and all economic liabilities, claims, damages, loss, harm, costs, or expenses, including property damage, that arise from or relate in any way to the Customer Referral Program. THIS SECTION 10 APPLIES ONLY TO ECONOMIC DAMAGES AND DOES NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS OF FRAUD OR PERSONAL INJURY.

TEXT MESSAGING AND DISCLOSURES

Effective date: November 24, 2020

Your participation in a 'Members' text messaging program is subject to our Mobile application Terms of Service (including, without limitation, the arbitration agreement and class action waiver) and Privacy Policy.

You may sign up for a text messaging program through our website or by otherwise providing your consent.

The text messaging program may relate specifically to a purchase you have made or to a specific 'Members' promotion. By signing up, you agree to receive text messages from 'Members' related to that program, such as updates on a purchase, offers, deals, alerts, reminders, or other pertinent information.

Message and data rates may apply. Messages may be in SMS or MMS format and may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system. Consent to receive text messages is not required as a condition of purchase. To stop transactional text messages from 'Members', reply STOP to message received; to stop promotional text messages, text STOP. If you reply or text STOP, you may receive a text message confirmation.

For help or additional information, email us at: [email protected]

If you change or deactivate your mobile number, you must promptly notify 'Members' by email at [email protected] to have your number removed.

Supported mobile operators: Certain mobile operators do not support text messaging services. If your mobile operator does not, you will not be able to receive text messages from 'Members'.

5. Talent Referral Program

We offer Talent Users and others who register on our Mobile application as a talent referral source (“'Members' Partner”) the opportunity to provide their friends, families, or other personal contacts the unique referral code we provide you (“Code”) that a prospective talent user may use to apply to register as a talent user on our Mobile application (“Referral Program”). To participate in the Referral Program, you must agree to the following Talent Referral Program Terms (“Referral Terms”), as well as the rest of these Terms:

  1. 'Members' reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Referral Program or your participation in the Referral Program at any time for any reason. Without limiting the foregoing, we reserve the right to disqualify anyone from participating in the Referral Program at any time at our sole discretion. A violation of the Referral Terms may also result in the forfeiture of all Referral Fees (defined below) you earned through the Referral Program. We reserve the right to review and investigate activities undertaken in connection with the Referral Program and suspend your Mobile application account, modify the Referral Fee, or take other action in our sole discretion.

  2. Eligibility to participate in this Referral Program is limited to individuals who have registered an account on our Mobile application as a Talent User or 'Members' Partner. The Referral Program cannot be used for affiliate lead generation or other commercial purposes. Employees, officers, directors, contractors, agents, and representatives of 'Members' may not participate in the Referral Program.

  3. For every new user whose application to register as a Talent User on our Mobile application using your Code is accepted in writing by 'Members' (“Referred Talent”), 'Members' will pay you, for one year, beginning as of the date that the Referred Talent first created an account as a Talent User on our Mobile application using your Code, 5% of the Booking Fee actually received by 'Members', except that in the case of a Booking Fee paid through the App, it is 5% of the Net App Booking Fee, for each 'Members' Video the Referred Talent creates and delivers to fulfill a User’s request accepted through our Mobile application during that one-year period (excluding any 'Members' Video for which no revenue was earned, and, at 'Members'’s discretion, any 'Members' Video to which a promotion applies or for which a promo code was used) (“Referral Fee”). The Referral Fee is based on the Booking Fee or Net App Booking Fee but is paid from 'Members'’s share of the revenue (as described in Section 4.b) and will be paid as described in Section 4.d. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Terms, you acknowledge and agree that if a new user does not use your Code when applying to register, has previously registered on our Mobile application (with another code, under another name, or otherwise), has previously begun the on-boarding process for our Mobile application, or if anyone else has received or is receiving a Referral Fee from us in connection with that user, no Referral Fee will be due to you. You further acknowledge and agree that each Referred Talent may have only one referring person or entity, and that we are not obligated to pay a Referral Fee to more than one referring person or entity with respect to any Referred Talent.

  4. This Referral Program may be used only for personal purposes and you may share your Code only with your personal connections. You may not advertise your Code or share it with anyone other than your friends, family, or other personal contacts (for example, you may not share it on a social media channel). We reserve the right to revoke or refuse to issue any Referral Fees for Referred Talent that we suspect were generated through improper channels or otherwise in violation of these Referral Terms.

  5. You represent and warrant that any messages you use to share your Code with your personal connections will: (i) be created and distributed in a personal manner; (ii) not be distributed in a bulk manner; and (iii) not be an unsolicited commercial email or a “spam” message under any applicable law or regulation. Any messages that do not meet these requirements are expressly prohibited and constitute grounds for immediate termination of your Mobile application account and participation in this Referral Program. Registrations on our Mobile application by a Talent User using a Code that was distributed through an unauthorized channel will not be valid and any Referral Fees issued in connection with such transactions may be revoked.

  6. We reserve the right to deactivate your Mobile application account and any Referred Talent’s Mobile application account, cancel all related Referral Fees, and seek repayment, if we determine, in our sole discretion, that either you or the Referred Talent: (i) has tampered with this Referral Program; (ii) has used (or attempted to use) this Referral Program in a fraudulent, abusive, unethical, unsportsmanlike, or otherwise questionable or suspicious manner; (iii) has breached any of these Referral Terms; or (iv) has violated any law or regulation or infringed or violated the rights of any third party. We also reserve the right to cancel this Referral Program or change these Referral Terms at any time and for any reason in our sole discretion.

  7. As of the effective date of these Terms and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Talent User may become an Affiliated Talent to an Organization, subject to 'Members'’s prior approval, by: (i) confirming in writing, in the form provided by 'Members', that the Organization is its representative; and (ii) the Organization registering the Talent User as its Affiliated Talent. The Organization will be deemed a 'Members' Partner and the Affiliated Talent will be deemed a Referred Talent under these Referral Terms. The Organization (as a 'Members' Partner) will be entitled to the Referral Fee set forth in Section 5.c as of the date the Talent User becomes an Affiliated Talent.

  8. By participating in the Referral Program, you agree to release and hold harmless 'Members' Parties from and against any and all economic liabilities, claims, damages, loss, harm, costs, or expenses, including property damage, that arise from or relate in any way to the Referral Program. THIS SECTION 5.h APPLIES ONLY TO ECONOMIC DAMAGES AND DOES NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS OF FRAUD OR PERSONAL INJURY.

19. Arbitration Agreement and Waiver of Certain Rights

  1. Arbitration: You and 'Members' agree to resolve any disputes between you and 'Members' through binding and final arbitration instead of through court proceedings. You and 'Members' each hereby waive any right to a jury trial of any controversy, claim, counterclaim, or other dispute arising between you and 'Members' relating to these Terms or our Mobile application (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.

  2. Costs and Fees: If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, 'Members' 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.

  3. No Preclusions: This arbitration agreement does not preclude you or 'Members' from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and 'Members' each also have the right to bring any qualifying Claim in small claims court. In addition, you and 'Members' 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.

  4. No Class Representative or Private Attorney General: Each of you and 'Members' 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 'Members'). The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.

  5. Severability/No Waiver/Survival: If any provision of this Section 19 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 19 will continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this Section 19 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 19 will survive the termination of your relationship with 'Members'.

  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: Members group, Inc. dba 'Members', 864 prospect street, La Jolla, CA 92037. Your notice must include your name and address, any usernames, each email address you have used to set up an account on our Mobile application, 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.

  7.
