Modifications

Occasionally, we may modify these Terms. We will post the most recent version of these Terms to our Services. If the changes are significant, we will send you a message or otherwise notify you.

General

Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Wheelhouse and governs your use of the Services, superseding any prior version of these Terms between you and Wheelhouse with respect to the Services.

Additional Terms. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use or purchase certain other Wheelhouse rendered services.

Choice of Law and Forum. You and Wheelhouse each agree that these Terms and the relationship between you and Wheelhouse shall be exclusively governed by the substantive laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions and that, except as set forth in the Dispute Resolution section below, any and all claims, causes of action or disputes (regardless of theory) arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the relationship between us, shall be brought exclusively in the courts located in San Francisco County California or the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. You and Wheelhouse agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within San Francisco County or the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division, and agree to waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over the parties by such courts, to venue in such courts and waive all claims of inconvenient forum.

Dispute Resolution. Except in the event that we seek a provisional remedy related to claims of misappropriation or ownership of intellectual property, trade secrets, or confidential information, any and all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms must be submitted to JAMS for mediation before arbitration or any other form of legal relief may be instituted.

Mediation may be commenced by a party providing JAMS a written request for mediation setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief requested. The parties will cooperate with JAMS in selecting a single mediator and scheduling a mediation, which should take place within 45 days following a request for mediation. The parties agree that they will participate in the mediation in good faith and share equally in its costs. The mediation will take place in San Francisco, California.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, each of us waives any right to a jury trial and agree to proceed only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. The parties hereby appoint the arbitrator the exclusive power to rule on any challenges to the requirement for the use of alternative dispute resolution in these Terms.

Except as explicitly provided in these Terms, all claims you bring against us must be resolved in accordance with this Dispute Resolution section. Any claim filed or brought contrary to this Dispute Resolution section will be considered improperly filed. Should you file a claim contrary to this section, we may recover from you attorneys' fees and costs up to $1500 per claim, provided that we first have notified you in writing of the improperly filed claim and you have failed to promptly withdraw the claim.

Waiver and Severability of Terms. The failure of Wheelhouse to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Severability. If any provision of the Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect.

No Right of Survivorship and Non-Transferability. You agree that your Wheelhouse Account is non-transferable and any rights to your Wheelhouse Account or contents within your account terminate upon your death. Upon receipt of a copy of a death certificate, your account may be terminated and all contents therein permanently deleted.

Statute of Limitations. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or the Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

Section Titles. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

Assignment. Wheelhouse may freely assign these Terms and all of the policies and other documents incorporated or referenced in it (including all rights, licenses, and obligations under it or them), in whole or in part and without notice.

Billing and Refund Policy. You agree to be bound by the terms of Wheelhouse's Billing and Refund Policy (as may be modified from time to time), the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein.
