Your use of, and participation in, certain Services may be subject to additional terms (“Supplemental Terms”) and such Supplemental Terms will either be listed in the Terms of Use or will be presented to you for your acceptance when you sign up to use the supplemental Service. If the Terms of Use are inconsistent with the Supplemental Terms, the Supplemental Terms shall control with respect to such Service. For example, if you are a customer who has executed an agreement with Slatewell (such party, a “Customer” and such agreement, a “Customer Agreement”), the terms of that Customer Agreement will control and supersede these Terms of Use with respect to the subject matter of such Customer Agreement. The Terms of Use and any applicable Supplemental Terms are referred to herein as the “Terms.”
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TERMS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY SLATEWELL IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION AT ANY TIME. When changes are made, Slatewell will make a new copy of the Terms of Use available at the Website and any new Supplemental Terms will be made available from within, or through, the affected Service on the Website.

D. Basis of the Bargain. THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN SLATEWELL AND YOU.
B. Breach. In the event that Slatewell determines, in its sole discretion, that you have breached any portion of the Terms, or have otherwise demonstrated conduct inappropriate for Slatewell Properties, Slatewell reserves the right to:
A. Term. The Terms commence on the date when you accept them (as described in the preamble above) and remain in full force and effect while you use Slatewell Properties, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the Terms.
B. Prior Use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you used Slatewell Properties prior to the date you accepted the Terms, you hereby acknowledge and agree that the Terms commenced on the date you first used Slatewell Properties (whichever is earlier) and will remain in full force and effect while you use Slatewell Properties, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Terms.
C. Termination of Services by Slatewell. If you have materially breached any provision of the Terms, or if Slatewell is required to do so by law (e.g., where the provision of the Website or the Services is, or becomes, unlawful), Slatewell has the right to, immediately and without notice, suspend or terminate any Services provided to you (and in the case of Customers, provided to their End Users), and take any action as set forth herein. You agree that all terminations for cause shall be made in Slatewell’s sole discretion and that Slatewell shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your Account.
D. Termination of Services by You. THE SERVICES WILL CONTINUE UNTIL TERMINATED BY US OR BY YOU IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION. If you want to terminate the Services provided by Slatewell, you may do so by closing your Account for all of the Services that you use.
E. Effect of Termination. Termination of any Service includes removal of access to such Service and barring of further use of the Service. Upon termination of any Service, your and your End Users’ right to use such Service will automatically terminate immediately. You understand that any termination of Services may involve deletion of Your Data associated therewith from our live databases. Slatewell will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any suspension or termination, including for deletion of Your Data. All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive, shall survive termination of Services, including without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitation of liability. TERMINATION OF THE SERVICES BY EITHER YOU OR SLATEWELL WILL NOT CANCEL OR REDUCE ANY CHARGES OR FEES THAT CONTINUE TO BE DUE AND PAYABLE TO SLATEWELL.
F. No Subsequent Registration. If your registration(s) with or ability to access Slatewell Properties, or any other Slatewell community is discontinued by Slatewell due to your violation of any portion of the Terms, then you agree that you shall not attempt to re-register with or access Slatewell Properties or any Slatewell community through use of a different member name or otherwise, and you acknowledge that you will not be entitled to receive a refund for fees related to those Slatewell Properties to which your access has been terminated. In the event that you violate the immediately preceding sentence, Slatewell reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately take any or all of the actions set forth herein without any notice or warning to you.
B. 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 in Delaware. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or request for relief under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s 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’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s 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’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, Slatewell will pay them for you. 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 location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
C. 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 Slatewell. 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 these Terms (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.
D. Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND SLATEWELL 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 Slatewell are instead electing that all disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms 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.
E. 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 CANNOT 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 subsection’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 New York. All other disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be arbitrated.
F. Severability. Except as provided herein, 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.
G. Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Slatewell.
H. Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if Slatewell 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 Slatewell at the following address: Slatewell, Inc., 1 Dock 72 Way, Brooklyn NY 11205.
B. Release. You hereby release Slatewell Parties and their successors from claims, demands, any and all losses, damages, rights, and actions of any kind, including personal injuries, death, and property damage that is either directly or indirectly related to or arises from your acts or omissions under your attorney-client relationship between Customer and End User, or any dispute between such parties and/or your use of the Services. If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” The foregoing release does not apply to any claims, demands, or any losses, damages, rights and actions of any kind, including personal injuries, death or property damage for any unconscionable commercial practice by a Slatewell Party or for such party’s fraud, deception, false, promise, misrepresentation or concealment, suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with the Website or any Services provided hereunder.
C. Assignment. The Terms, and your rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated or otherwise transferred by you without Slatewell’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.
D. Force Majeure. Slatewell shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.
E. Questions, Complaints, Claims. If you have any questions, complaints or claims with respect to Slatewell Properties, please contact us at: support@getslatewell.com. We will do our best to address your concerns. If you feel that your concerns have been addressed incompletely, we invite you to let us know for further investigation.
F. Exclusive Venue. To the extent the parties are permitted under these Terms to initiate litigation in a court, both you and Slatewell agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Terms will be litigated exclusively in the state or federal courts located New York, New York.
G. Governing Law. THE TERMS AND ANY ACTION RELATED THERETO WILL BE GOVERNED AND INTERPRETED BY AND UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF New YORK, CONSISTENT WITH THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS DOES NOT APPLY TO THESE TERMS.
H. Notice. Where Slatewell requires that you provide an e-mail address, you are responsible for providing Slatewell with your most current e-mail address. In the event that the last e-mail address you provided to Slatewell is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required/ permitted by the Terms, Slatewell’s dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You may give notice to Slatewell at the following e-mail address: support@getslatewell.com. Such notice shall be deemed given when received by Slatewell by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail at the above address.
I. Waiver. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of the Terms on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
J. Severability. If any portion of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intention of the parties, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
K. Entire Agreement. The Terms are the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between the parties with respect to such subject matter (except with respect to any Customer Agreement).
