FEES
As more fully described on the Service, certain elements of the Service may require fees for access (the “Paid Service”).

We may use a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) to charge you through an online account for use of the Paid Service. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to this Agreement. We are not responsible for error by the Payment Processor. 

You agree to pay us, through the Payment Processor, all charges for the Paid Services that you access, and you authorize us, through the Payment Processor, to charge your chosen payment provider (your “Payment Method”).

If you wish to cancel, upgrade or downgrade your subscription, you may do so at any time through your account. Any charges incurred prior to cancellation or downgrade are non-refundable. If you upgrade your subscription, you will be charged the difference in your current subscription and the upgraded subscription at that time, and you will be charged the price for the upgraded subscription on an ongoing basis until cancellation. If you downgrade your subscription, you will be charged the reduced price at the beginning of the next term.

We will automatically charge your Payment Method at the end of each subscription period, as further identified on the Service and at purchase. If you purchase a subscription, it may result in recurring charges to your Payment Method, and you agree that we may charge such amounts until such a time as your subscription expires or you cancel the subscription, depending on the subscription type. WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU PROVIDE PRIOR NOTICE (RECEIPT OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY US) THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE REASONABLY COULD ACT. 

Your account will be considered delinquent if payment in full is not successful when a charge is initiated. Unless specified in an invoice, amounts due are exclusive of all applicable taxes, levies, or duties, and you will be responsible for payment of all such amounts.

In addition to other applicable remedies, we reserve the right to suspend and/or terminate your access to the Service and/or terminate this Agreement if your Payment Method is declined or fails and your account therefore is delinquent. Charges to delinquent accounts are subject to interest of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.

DISPUTES, GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

You agree that any claim or dispute between us arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Service or any service provided by us, will be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement. The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern this Agreement, and shall be used in any arbitration proceeding.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to the following address:

Emile Technologies
744 South Street #763
Philadelphia, PA 19147

Arbitration under this Agreement will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules then in effect. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. The location of arbitration shall be in New York, New York.

You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, both you agree that parties have each waived any right to a jury trial. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property or other proprietary rights, or for defense and indemnification as provided for herein.

To the extent arbitrations does not apply, you agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Services, or to us, may only be brought by you, and may be brought by us, in a state or federal court located in New York, New York. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THIS VENUE AS INCONVENIENT OR INAPPROPRIATE, AND AGREE TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN NEW YORK.
