Jurisdiction and Governing Law

By visiting the Site, you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the state of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern the Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and us related in any way to your use of the Site. Except as provided in the Arbitration Agreement section below, by using the Website you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California for the resolution of all disputes between us, and waive any objection based on such forums being inconvenient.


Arbitration Agreement

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to products sold or Services provided through the Website, or any Provider arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with these Terms, or relating in any way to your use of the Website (including without limitation claims relating to the breach of the Terms of Conditions, Privacy Policy or the unauthorized disclosure of personally identifiable information) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. Unless you proceed with a small claims action, the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law will apply. This Arbitration Agreement is intended to be broadly interpreted, and includes, without limitation:

  • claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, including, without limitation, claims relating to your use of Pogoseat's website www.Pogoseat.com, any statements or advertising on the Website, your purchase of a seat upgrade through the Websites, and/or any fees or other amounts you paid to Pogoseat in connection with the purchase of a seat upgrade through the Website;
  • claims that arose before this or any prior Agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); and
  • claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.

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 these Terms of Conditions as a court would.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration WE EACH HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. We also both agree that either of us may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Further, unless we both agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative, consolidated or class proceeding. If the requirements of this paragraph are found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void except for the waiver of any right to a jury trial described in the previous paragraph.

If a dispute arises between us, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution by contacting our Customer Support [support@pogoseat.com] before resorting to arbitration or asserting a claim in small claims court. We value our relationship with our customers and will try to resolve your claims informally and expeditiously. To that end, before either of us may begin an arbitration proceeding, written notice must be sent to the other describing the claim. If to us, the notice should be sent to our registered agent [Pogoseat, Inc., c/o PremierCounsel LLP, 201 Spear Street, Suite 1100, San Francisco, CA 94105], and if to you, at the current address you provided in your customer account. If the claim has not been resolved within 30 days of sending the notice, either party may then commence an arbitration proceeding. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA's rules and forms are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totalling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, we will not to seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines your claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county or parish where you live or at another mutually agreed location.

The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of our last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if we did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then we will pay you the amount of the award or US$1,000, whichever is greater.


Severability

If any these provisions shall be deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that condition shall be deemed several and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provision.

Changes in Terms and Conditions

Pogoseat has the right to change or discontinue any aspect or feature of the Site, including, but not limited to, content, hours of availability, and equipment needed for access or use, at any time. We have the right to change or modify the Terms and Conditions applicable to User’s use of the Site or to impose new conditions, including, but not limited to, adding fees and charges for use, at any time.
