You hereby consent to, and agree to bring any and all claims in a dispute exclusively under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) (www.adr.org).

You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use or license certain other SmartZip Services.

Severability.

To the maximum extent possible, each provision in these Terms will be interpreted in such manner as to be valid and enforceable under applicable law. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, such provision will be modified so as to be rendered valid and enforceable while implementing, to the maximum extent possible, the original intent of such provision. If such modification is not possible or allowed, then such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such unenforceability or invalidity without affecting the remainder of such provision or any other provisions in these Terms.

Statute of Limitations.

Assignment. SmartZip may freely assign these Terms or any of its rights or obligations hereunder to any third party. Neither these Terms nor any obligations or rights hereunder may be assigned, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without SmartZip's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in SmartZip's sole discretion. Any attempted assignment in violation of this provision will be void. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will inure to the benefit of the parties' permitted successors and assigns.

The failure of SmartZip to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Premium Member Provisions

In addition to the above provisions of these Terms, the following provisions of these Terms will apply to you if you are a Premium Member.

Subscription Services

You may not use the subscription-based Services ("Premium Service") without a valid subscription from SmartZip. To obtain a subscription, you must register for the Premium Service by completing the online registration form available on the Site. Your subscription will not be valid unless and until SmartZip accepts your registration. By registering for the Premium Service, you represent and warrant that all registration information that you provide is true, complete, and accurate, and you agree to notify SmartZip promptly of any changes to this registration information by editing your user profile in the My Account area of the Site. You may be offered a free trial subscription to the Premium Service, beginning on the date on which SmartZip accepts your registration. If you don't terminate during this trial period, the initial term of your regular paid Premium Service subscription will start immediately after the free trial period ends, and will continue for the length of time that you selected when you registered. If you have taken a Premium Service trial in the past 24 months, you will not receive a free trial and your credit card will be charged immediately for the subscription fee associated with the term you select.

You understand that, unless you notify us that you wish to terminate your subscription before the end of your then-current subscription term, your subscription will continue to automatically renew for successive terms of the same duration and your credit card will be charged for each such renewal at the subscription fee in effect at the time of that renewal. In those instances where you took advantage of a special or introductory offer to become a Premium Member, your subscription will automatically renew to the term specified in the offer and your credit card will be charged the subscription fee in effect at the time of that renewal. The term "subscription term" will refer to the term of your subscription then in effect, regardless of whether it is the initial term or any renewal of that term.

SMARTZIP RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE PREMIUM SERVICE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ADDING OR REMOVING FEATURES). IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY SUCH CHANGES, OR IF YOU ARE OTHERWISE DISSATISFIED WITH THE PREMIUM SERVICE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ITS PERFORMANCE OR AVAILABILITY), YOUR ONLY REMEDY WILL BE TO CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, AS SET FORTH BELOW.

Your subscription is personal to you, and you may not transfer or share your subscription with any other person (including but not limited to your co-workers) other than immediate family members living in the same household, provided that: (i) such family members have read and agree to be bound by these Terms; (ii) your subscription is not simultaneously used by more than one person at any given time; and (iii) you agree to be responsible for any use of your subscription by those other family members.

Charges and Billing Practices

If offered a free trial period, you will not be charged a subscription fee during that free trial period. Subscription Fees on credit-card transactions will be authorized immediately, but not actually processed. If you remain a Premium Member when the free trial period ends, you will be charged for the initial term of your subscription and then, at the beginning of each renewal term, if any, for the subscription fee for that renewal term. Subscription fees will be based upon the subscription rates in effect at the start of each subscription term and apply whether or not you actually use the Premium Service during that term. Subscription fees are nonrefundable, except as expressly stated below.

SmartZip reserves the right to change the fees it charges for products, services or features (collectively, "Products") offered in connection with the Premium Service and/or the Services at any time. These sorts of changes include, but are not limited to, adding fees for new/optional Products and/or modifying fees for existing Products. By using any of the Products, with which there are associated fees, you agree to pay those fees. If you do not want to pay these associated fees, you must cancel your subscription, as set forth below.

Subscription fees and all others fees and charges associated with your subscription (including, but not limited to, any applicable federal, state, and local taxes) will be billed automatically to the credit card you provide when registering for the Premium Service ("your credit card"). If your credit card is a VISA or MasterCard and the number or expiration date for your credit card changes for any reason (for instance, you get a new number because your old card expired, was stolen, etc.), that updated information may be automatically passed on from your credit card issuer to SmartZip, and if we do receive such information, it will be treated by SmartZip as if it were originally furnished by you. To learn more about this service being provided by your credit card issuer, please contact them directly.

You must promptly notify SmartZip (as set forth below) if any information related to your credit card changes or is no longer valid or of any other change to the information you provided SmartZip regarding your credit card (including, but not limited to, changes to your billing address or other pertinent contact information). Absent such notification, SmartZip will assume that all of the information related to your credit card remains valid and will submit to the card processor all information that it requires for approval, both when you initially subscribe and, if applicable, upon the commencement of any renewal of that subscription. If any subscription fees or other charges billed to your credit card are declined for any reason, SmartZip will have the right to suspend your subscription until such subscription fees or other charges are paid in full. You agree to pay all costs (including attorneys' fees) incurred by SmartZip in collecting any unpaid subscription fees or other charges from you.

Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription using the cancellation feature for the Premium Service. SmartZip will not process cancellations submitted via email. Subscription fees are nonrefundable, except as expressly stated in the last paragraph of this section.

If you cancel your subscription during your free trial period, you will not be responsible for the payment of a subscription fee. However, except as otherwise provided herein, if you cancel your subscription at any time after your trial period expires, your membership will continue in effect until the monthly or annual anniversary, whichever term applies, of the effective date of your paid subscription and then terminate on that date. (For example, if your paid monthly subscription start date is on January 1 and you cancel on June 15, your membership continues until July 1, at which time it ends.)

SmartZip may immediately cancel your subscription, without notice or liability, if it determines in its sole discretion that: (i) you have breached any portion of these Terms; or (ii) your use of or access to the Premium Service or the Site violates any applicable law or regulation or otherwise inhibits any other subscriber from using or accessing the Premium Service or any other service offered by SmartZip on the Site. None of the foregoing limits any other legal, equitable, or contractual rights available to SmartZip.

SmartZip may, in its sole discretion, choose not to renew your subscription by sending a notice of non-renewal at any time during your subscription term to the e-mail address you provided when completing your registration. You will be deemed to have received this notice, whether or not you saw it or the e-mail address provided by you continues to be valid. In the event of such a notice, your subscription will cease and will not automatically renew at the end of your then-current subscription term.

SmartZip may, in its sole discretion, terminate your subscription for convenience, without notice or liability, except that SmartZip will provide a pro-rata refund to you of any prepaid but unused subscription fees.
