You agree that all terminations for cause shall be made in GTR’s sole discretion and that GTR shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your Account.

8.0       UPDATES TO THESE TOS

PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE TOS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY GTR IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION AT ANY TIME.  When changes are made, GTR will make a new copy of the Terms of Service Agreement available on the Platform and within the GTR Application and any Referral App, as applicable.  We will also update the “Last Updated” date at the top of the Terms of Service Agreement.  If we make any material changes, and you have registered with us to create an Account (as defined in Section 2.1 (Registering Your Account) below) we will also send an e-mail to you at the last e-mail address you provided to us pursuant to the Agreement.  Any changes to the Agreement will be effective immediately for new users of the Services and will be effective thirty (30) days after posting notice of such changes on the Services for existing Account holders.  GTR may require you to provide consent to the updated Agreement in a specified manner before further use of the Services is permitted.  If you do not agree to any change(s) after receiving a notice of such change(s), you shall stop using the Services.  Otherwise, your continued use of the Services constitutes your acceptance of such change(s).  PLEASE REGULARLY CHECK THE PLATFORM TO VIEW THE THEN-CURRENT TERMS.

8.2   CONFIDENTIALITY. 

 Each party agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical and financial information it obtains (“Receiving Party”) from the disclosing party (“Disclosing Party”) constitutes the confidential property of the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be Confidential Information due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure.  In addition, to the extent you have negotiated pricing with GTR, such pricing is GTR’s Confidential Information. Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will hold in confidence (using reasonable methods or protection) and not use or disclose any Confidential Information. The Receiving Party’s nondisclosure obligation shall not apply to information which the Receiving Party can reasonably evidence: (a) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (b) is or has become generally available to the public through no fault of the Receiving Party; (c) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; (d) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information; or (e) is required to be disclosed pursuant to a regulation, law or court order (but only to the minimum extent required to comply with such regulation or order and with advance notice to the Disclosing Party). The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy.  Therefore, upon any such disclosure, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief (without the posting of a bond or similar instrument) in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.

 

8.3    INDEMNIFICATION.

You agree to indemnify and hold GTR, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners, suppliers, and licensors (each, a “GTR Party” and collectively, the “GTR Parties”) harmless from any losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of any and all of the following: (a) Your Content; (b) your use of, or inability to use, any GTR Property; (c) your violation of the Agreement; (d) your violation of any rights of another party, including any Advocate; or (e) your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations.  GTR reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with GTR in asserting any available defenses.  This provision does not require you to indemnify any of the GTR Parties for any unconscionable commercial practice by such party or for such party’s fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, or suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with the Platform or any Services provided hereunder.  You agree that the provisions in this Section will survive any termination of your Account, the Agreement, and/or your access to GTR Properties.

 11.0  DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully.  It requires users to arbitrate disputes with GTR and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

11.1    Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute, claim, or request for relief relating in any way to your access or use of the GTR Properties, to any products sold or distributed through the GTR Properties, or to any aspect of your relationship with GTR, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (a) you may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if your claims qualify,; and (b) you or GTR may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuses of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents).  This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all disputes or claims and requests for relief that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.  

11.2    Arbitration Rules and Forum.  The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.  To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your dispute or claim or request for relief to our registered agent United States Corporation Agents, Inc. 300 Delaware Avenue, Suite 210-A, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle County, 19801.  The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider.  Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or requests for relief under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’ most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other disputes shall be subject to JAMS’ most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/.  JAMS’ rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267.  If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum.  If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’ filing, administrative, hearing, and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, GTR will pay them for you.  In addition, GTR will reimburse all such JAMS’ filing, administrative, hearing, and/or other fees for disputes, claims, or requests for relief totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. 

You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed on location.  Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

11.3    Authority of Arbitrator.  The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any assertion that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable.  The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and GTR.  The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties.  The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded.  The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have.  The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. 

11.4    Waiver of Jury Trial.  YOU AND GTR HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY.  You and GTR are instead electing that all disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 13.1 (Application of Arbitration Agreement) above.  An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would.  However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.  

11.5    Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief.  ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, AND REQUESTS FOR RELIEF WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CAN NOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.  If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this Section’s limitations as to a given dispute, claim, or request for relief, then such aspect must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of California.  All other disputes claims, or requests for relief shall be arbitrated. 

11.6    30-Day Right to Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to: support@GetTheReferral.com, within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement.  Your notice must include your name and address, your GTR username (if any), the email address you used to set up your GTR account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt-out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt-out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement 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.

11.7    Severability. Except as provided in Section 13.5 (Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief), if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

11.8    Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with GTR.

11.9    Modification.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if GTR makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing GTR at the following address: support@GetTheReferral.com.
