To avoid such charges, Users with free trial Subscriptions must cancel their Subscription before the end of the free trial period.

You may receive certain offers from GetSidekicks (“Promotions”), including but not limited to discounted or free use of the Platform for a limited period, discounts on or credits towards payments made for Services, and discounts or credits in relation to referrals. Any Promotions are offered at GetSidekicks’s discretion, and may be revoked at any time and for any reason. Note that any attempt (as determined by GetSidekicks in its sole discretion) to game, fraud, or in any way circumvent terms of a promotion is grounds for revocation, including but not limited to providing false information or utilizing multiple User accounts.

​

You are only eligible for any benefits described in the Promotion if (a) you received a communication directly from GetSidekicks offering you that Promotion, (b) you satisfy all the requirements identified in that communication; and (c) you maintain an account in good standing with GetSidekicks. We may condition receipt of a benefit described in a Promotion in any manner we see appropriate, including limiting eligibility to a subset of Users, to specific categories, or to certain dates. To be eligible for a benefit described in a Promotion, you may need to take a specific action (including but not limited to signing up for a service) or make a payment for specific services. Except where otherwise noted, Promotions are for one-time use only and cannot be stacked (i.e. a User may only use one Promotion at a time).

​

Any benefits from participating in the Promotion, requirements of accepting the offer, and any other conditions to receive any benefit described in the Promotion will be disclosed to you. After a Promotion ends, regardless of whether you have already satisfied the requirements, you will be ineligible to receive those benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, GetSidekicks may revoke a benefit if we believe that you have not satisfied the Promotion requirements, including maintaining an Account in good standing.

GetSidekicks does not perform Services and disclaims all liability. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of the Terms or any User's or User's use of any part of the Platform, including but not limited to any scheduling or other services.

Any reference on the Platform or in any marketing to a User being licensed or credentialed in some manner, or "badged," “vetted”, “top rated”, "best of," "top," "military-affiliated" (or similar language) designations indicates only that the User has completed a relevant account process or met certain review standards, and does not represent anything else.

By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve any and all disputes with GetSidekicks as follows:

​

Initial Dispute Resolution: Most disputes can be resolved without resort to litigation. You can reach GetSidekicks's support department at support@GetSidekicks.com. Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with the GetSidekicks support department, and good faith negotiations will be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

​

Binding Arbitration: If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of ninety (90) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or previous versions of these Terms (including the Terms' or Privacy Policy's formation, performance, and breach), the parties' relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Platform will be finally settled by binding arbitration, as described below.

​

Where the relief sought by you is $10,000.99 or less and you do not wish to bring the claim in small claims court, the arbitration will be conducted online by an online arbitration provider of our choosing in accordance with their applicable arbitration rules & procedures effective at the time a claim is made. Currently, you may initiate arbitration proceedings on the FairClaims website. You are responsible for your own attorneys' fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

​

Where the relief sought is $10,001.00 or more, resolution will be in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000.00 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000.00 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. To initiate an arbitration with JAMS, you must do the following: (a) write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com); (b) send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS, Two Embarcadero Center, Suite 1500, San Francisco, California 94111; and (c) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to GetSidekicks legal representation at 201 Mission Street, Suite 800 San Francisco, California 94105, ATTN: Legal. You will be required to pay $250 to initiate an arbitration against us. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, GetSidekicks will pay GetSidekicks fees and you will pay fees associated to you, this may include filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses. You are responsible for your own attorneys' fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

​

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms or the Privacy Policy, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms or Privacy Policy is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award will be written and will be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

​

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

​

If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing. For individuals residing outside the United States, arbitration will be initiated in the state of Georgia, United States. You and GetSidekicks further agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Fulton County, Georgia in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

​

Class Action Waiver The parties further agree that the arbitration will be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND GETSIDEKICKS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above will be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties will be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

​

Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims: Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect your or our intellectual property rights ("intellectual property rights" means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, trade dress, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.

​

30-Day Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending (from the email address you use on GetSidekicks) written notice of your decision to opt out to support@GetSidekicks.com with the subject line, "ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT." The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of the later of the Effective Date of these Terms or your first use of the Platform; otherwise, you will be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, GetSidekicks also will not be bound by them.

​

Changes to This Section: GetSidekicks will provide thirty (30) days' notice of any changes affecting the substance of this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section by posting on the GetSidekicks Terms of Use website, sending you a message, or otherwise notifying you when you are logged into your account. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the GetSidekicks Terms of Use website or sent to you.

​

Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the 30th day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on "Changes to This Section" is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection will be severed from the section entitled “Arbitration and Class Action Waiver,” and the court or arbitrator will apply the first Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section in existence after you began using the Platform.

​

Survival: This Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section will survive any termination of your Account or the Platform.

​

Third-Party Beneficiary: You and GetSidekicks acknowledge that any third-party consumer reporting agency that GetSidekicks uses to perform background checks on Sidekicks is an express and intended third-party beneficiary of this arbitration provision and as such, the terms of this Arbitration provision will inure to the benefit of the consumer reporting agencies and may be enforced by them. Accordingly, you agree that any dispute that arises between you and a consumer reporting agency that relates to or arises out of this Agreement or any aspect of your relationship with GetSidekicks will be resolved by binding arbitration. If any court or arbitrator determines that this third-party beneficiary subsection is void or unenforceable for any reason, then this subsection will be severed from the section entitled “Arbitration and Class Action Waiver,” and the remainder of the section will remain enforceable, meaning that the class action waiver and the mutual obligation to resolve disputes between you and GetSidekicks through binding arbitration remains enforceable.
 

P. GOVERNING LAW

The Terms and the relationship between you and GetSidekicks will be governed in all respects by the laws of the state of Georgia, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against GetSidekicks that is not subject to arbitration must be resolved by a court located in Fulton County, Georgia, except as otherwise agreed by the parties. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Fulton County, Georgia or the United States District Court, located in Atlanta, Georgia, for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes that are not subject to arbitration. You hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available.
