7.1.    Generally.  Certain Services may be made available pursuant on a paid basis.  In the event you are not accessing any such Services, or a third party has procured access to such Services on your behalf (e.g. paid for by a family member of assisted living community), the remainder of this Section 7 will not apply to you with respect to such Services.

7.2.    Payment.  If you purchase a Subscription or make any other purchases within the Site (individually, a “Purchase” and collectively, “Purchases”), you acknowledge and agree: (a) to pay all fees or charges associated with such Purchases in accordance with any and all applicable terms whether imposed by Company or the App Store at the time a fee or charge is due and payable; (b) to provide accurate, current and complete payment information in connection with such Purchases; (c) that Company may retain any such payment information, including, but not limited to all Apple Pay, Google Pay or debit and credit card information provided in connection with any In-App Purchase (“Payment Provider”); and (d) that you will be charged for all fees and charges due and payable for any Purchases hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required to use the Payment Provider you provide. You agree to keep your payment information up to date. You agree to pay any taxes and delivery or similar charges in connection with any Purchases that are not charged by Company or the App Store. Company reserves the right at any time to change the prices of any Purchases, either immediately upon posting on the App or by e-mail delivery to you. Company accepts certain credit cards as well as other forms of cash payment (e.g., Apple Pay or Google Pay) that are accepted by the App Stores as payment methods for Purchases.

7.3.    Taxes.  If you are a consumer and have your habitual residence in the European Union or the United Kingdom, prices displayed on any Scorz Property are inclusive of any applicable sales tax, value added tax (VAT) or similar at the rate that is in force from time to time. In all other cases, the payments required under Section 7.3 of this Agreement may not include any Sales Tax that may be due in connection with the Services provided under this Agreement.  If Scorz determines it has a legal obligation to collect a Sales Tax from you in connection with this Agreement, Scorz shall collect such Sales Tax in addition to the payments required under Section 7.4 of this Agreement.  If any Services, or payments for any Services, under the Agreement are subject to any Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to Scorz, you will be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and you will indemnify Scorz for any liability or expense Scorz may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes.  Upon Scorz’s request, you will provide it with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes.  For purposes of this section, “Sales Tax” shall mean any sales or use tax and any other tax measured by sales proceeds that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.

7.4.    Subscription Automatic Renewal.  You will be responsible for payment of the applicable fee for any Services (each, a “Service Subscription Fee”). All prices for subscriptions shown on the Application are denominated in the currency that Scorz determines to be your local currency. Your subscription will continue indefinitely until terminated in accordance with the Agreement.  After your initial subscription period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically commence on the first day following the end of such period (each a “Renewal Commencement Date”) and continue for an additional equivalent period, at Scorz’s then-current price for such subscription.  Should the pricing for your subscription increase, we will inform you of such changes a reasonable period in advance of any automatic renewal and will give you an opportunity to cancel your subscription before it auto-renews. You agree that your Account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless you cancel your subscription before the end of the then-current subscription period, by logging in and going to the “Subscriptions” page in the App Store, select your Scorz subscription and choose “Cancel Subscription”.  If you cancel your subscription, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires.  However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period.  By subscribing, you authorize the App Store to charge your Payment Provider now, and again at the beginning of any subsequent subscription period.  Upon renewal of your subscription, if the App Store does not receive payment from your Payment Provider, (a) you agree to pay all amounts due on your Account upon demand and/or (b) you agree that Scorz may either terminate or suspend your subscription and continue to have the App Store attempt to charge your Payment Provider until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your Account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received).

7.5.    Free Trials and Other Promotions.  Any free trial or other promotion that provides Registered User level access to the Services must be used within the specified time of the trial.  At the end of the trial period, your use of that Service will expire and any further use of the Service is prohibited unless you pay the applicable subscription fee.  If you are inadvertently charged for a subscription, please contact Scorz to have the charges reversed.

7.6.    Refunds. If you are a consumer and have your habitual residence in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you have the right to cancel your purchase of any subscription without reason within fourteen (14) days of the initial purchase and request a refund of the relevant Service Subscription Fee. If you use the relevant subscription at all during that fourteen (14)-day period, we reserve the right to pro-rate any refund to reflect such use. In order to request a refund, please visit the Apple App Store Terms of Service or the Google Play Terms of Service, as applicable. Any refund will be issued to the same payment method used for the relevant purchase. For the avoidance of doubt, if you sign up for a free trial, you agree that your right to claim a refund expires fourteen (14) days after the day on which your trial begins.

8. INDEMNIFICATION.

To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Scorz, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners, suppliers, and licensors (each, a “Scorz Party” and collectively, the “Scorz Parties”) 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 Scorz Property; (c) your violation of the Agreement; (d) your violation of any rights of another party, including any Registered Users; or (e) your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. Scorz 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 Scorz in asserting any available defenses. This provision does not require you to indemnify any of the Scorz Parties for any unconscionable commercial practice by such party or for such party’s fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with the Application 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 Scorz Properties.

13. INTERNATIONAL USERS.

Scorz Properties can be accessed from countries around the world and may contain references to Services and content that are not available in your country.  These references do not imply that Scorz intends to announce such Services or content in your country. Scorz makes no representations that the Services and/or Scorz Properties are appropriate or available for use in other locations.  Those who access or use the Services and/or Scorz Properties from other countries do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.

14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (Arbitration Agreement) carefully.  It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Scorz and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.  This Section 14 only applies to residents of the United States.

14.1.    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 Scorz Properties, to any content or products sold or distributed through the Scorz Properties, or to any aspect of your relationship with Scorz, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if your claims qualify,; and (2) you or Scorz may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse 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.  

14.2.    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:  Cogency Global Inc., 850 New Burton Road, Suite 201, Dover, Delaware 19904.  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, Scorz will pay them for you.  In addition, Scorz will reimburse all such JAMS’s 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 location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. 

14.3.    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 Scorz.  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.  

14.4.    Waiver of Jury Trial.  YOU AND SCORZ 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 Scorz 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 14.1 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.  

14.5.    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 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 Delaware.  All other disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be arbitrated.  

14.6.    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: legal@scorz.com.au, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your Scorz username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Scorz 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.

14.7.    Severability. Except as provided in Section 14.5, 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.

14.8.    Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Scorz.

14.9.    Modification.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if Scorz 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 Scorz at the following address: legal@scorz.com.au.
