I. Speakeasy Co. Terms and Conditions

Welcome and thank you for visiting www.speakeasyco.com (the “Site”). Speakeasy Co. (“Speakeasy” or “we” or “us” or “our”) is an online platform that specializes in empowering alcohol brands. These Terms and Conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) constitute a legally binding agreement and governs access to and use, by users (“you” or “your”), of the Site and of other retailer websites, social media pages, accounts, and mobile applications owned by or licensed to us (collectively, the “Sites”), any order you place through the Sites and, as applicable, your use of the Products you purchase.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING OUR SITES OR PURCHASING ANY SERVICES (AS DEFINED BELOW).

THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME AND PUBLISHED AT HTTPS://WWW.SPEAKEASYCO.COM/TERMS-AND-CONDITIONS, AND AS INCORPORATING THE SPEAKEASY PRIVACY POLICY AVAILABLE AT HTTPS://WWW.SPEAKEASYCO.COM/PRIVACY-POLICY (“PRIVACY POLICY”), ARE A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN SPEAKEASY AND YOU.

By using the Sites, including, without limitation, by participating in the Services (as defined in Section 2), you hereby agree to these Terms and Conditions, including those additional terms and conditions and policies referenced herein and/or available by hyperlink. These Terms and Conditions apply to all users of the site, including without limitation, customers.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU MAY NOT USE THE SITES, YOU SHALL NOT PLACE AN ORDER, AND YOU SHALL NOT USE ANY PRODUCTS SOLD VIA THE SITES.

We reserve the right to update, change or replace any part of these Terms and Conditions. Your continued use of or access to the Sites following the posting of any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.

IF YOU SIGN UP FOR A SUBSCRIPTION PROGRAM (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 7), YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED FOR ADDITIONAL PERIODS OF THE SAME DURATION AS THE INITIAL TERM AT SPEAKEASY’S THEN-CURRENT NON-PROMOTIONAL RATE FOR SUCH SERVICES INDEFINITELY UNTIL AND UNLESS YOU OR SPEAKEASY CANCELS YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 7.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CAREFULLY READ AND UNDERSTAND THE “ARBITRATION AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS” PROVISION SET FORTH IN SECTION 21 OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, AS IT WILL REQUIRE YOU TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. BY ACCESSING OR USING OUR WEBSITE, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE TAKEN TIME TO CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE ARBITRATION AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS PROVISION SET FORTH BELOW.

SECTION 1. MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENT

The Sites are intended for use by adults aged 21 or older and if you use the Sites, you represent and warrant that:

(a) you are at least twenty-one (21) years of age;

(b) the recipient of any alcoholic beverage purchase you may make is at least 21 years of age;

(c) all registration information you submit to Speakeasy is truthful and accurate;

(d) you will maintain the accuracy of such information; and

(e) your use of the Sites and purchase of Services does not violate any applicable law or regulation.

In no event shall you use the Sites nor the Services, nor make a purchase or purchase a gift for someone else if you are under the age of 21, nor may you do any of the foregoing activities for the benefit, or on behalf, of any person under the age of 21. We may refuse to register any person, or service any order at any time, in our sole discretion.

In accordance with these minimum age requirements, you hereby represent that you are legally entitled to take possession of the alcoholic beverages in the quantities ordered, and you are of legal purchase age under applicable laws. See Section 4 regarding age verification requirements at the time of delivery.

SECTION 2. SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES

Our role in the transactions contemplated by these Terms and Conditions is that of a marketing and service provider that enables you, the customer, to purchase alcohol and related products from Licensed Retailers via the Sites (“Services), and to participate in the Services and/or any other product offers offered on the Sites. The sale and delivery of orders are executed and fulfilled by licensed third-party retailers that hold valid licenses issued by state (or other applicable jurisdiction) alcohol beverage agencies allowing for the legal sale of alcohol ("Licensed Retailers”). You acknowledge that you are purchasing alcoholic beverages from a Retailer licensed in the jurisdiction in which it is licensed, and not from Speakeasy. Thus, all orders of alcohol and related products you place through the use of the Sites are processed and fulfilled by such Licensed Retailers, as the actual sellers of the Products. Any purchase you make through the use of the Sites from the Licensed Retailers must be for personal consumption only and not for resale. In the unlikely event that a particular product is unavailable at time of shipping, the Licensed Retailer may substitute a product of similar style and of equal or greater value in your shipment.

SECTION 3. ACCOUNT REGISTRATION

To use the Sites and/or the Services, you will be asked to provide personally identifiable information, or PII, such as your name, address, phone number, shipping address, email address, date of birth, and payment information (collectively, the "PII") as well as a password in order to make a purchase and create a personal account with us (an "Account").

YOU ARE ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF YOUR PASSWORD AND FOR ANY AND ALL ACTIVITIES THAT OCCUR IN ASSOCIATION WITH YOUR ACCOUNT, WHETHER OR NOT AUTHORIZED BY YOU. Please review our Privacy Policy regarding the PII we collect, use and share, and the terms of such collection, use and sharing. You are responsible for, and agree to pay promptly, all charges to your Account including applicable taxes and purchases by you or anyone you allow to use your Account. You represent and warrant that all PII you provide in connection with registering your Account is complete, accurate and non-fraudulent, and that you are authorized to use the method of payment you provide in connection with your use of the Services. We reserve the right to contact the service provider of your method of payment to conduct fraud or security checks.

You agree to notify Speakeasy immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account or any other breach of security and to provide properly documented evidence as requested by Speakeasy. You acknowledge and agree that you may never use another customer's Account without their prior approval, and you may not allow anyone else to use your Account at any time. You agree that Speakeasy will not be liable for any loss you may incur as a result of someone else using your password or Account, either with or without your knowledge, and you further agree that you will be liable for losses incurred by Speakeasy or another party due to someone else using your Account or password. If you create an Account, you agree to provide Speakeasy current, complete, true and accurate information, and you also agree to review and update your Account as and when necessary to maintain the most current PII.

SPEAKEASY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE, SUSPEND, MODIFY OR DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT AND/OR ACCESS TO THE SITE AND/OR THE SERVICES AT ANY TIME, FOR ANY REASON OR NO REASON, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO A VIOLATION OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. SPEAKEASY ALSO RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CHANGE OR DISCONTINUE ANY SERVICE OR FEATURE PROVIDED BY SPEAKEASY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE SITE AND THE SERVICES, AT ANY TIME AND WITHOUT NOTICE. YOU AGREE THAT SPEAKEASY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, BY ANY SUCH TERMINATION, SUSPENSION, CHANGE OR DISCONTINUANCE.

SECTION 4. ORDERS, SHIPPING, AND DELIVERY

If you are an adult over the age of 21, you may make an offer to purchase alcoholic beverages or associated non-alcoholic merchandise (the “Products”) using the Sites from the Licensed Retailers. Prices displayed on the Sites are not controlled by Speakeasy and are subject to change without notice at any time. Licensed Retailers may choose to accept or reject any offer to purchase the Products due to lack of availability, inability to verify your age, or any other reason. If your offer to purchase the Products is declined in full or in part for any reason, you will receive a refund for any portions of your order that are declined by the Licensed Retailer.

You are solely responsible for picking up or arranging for shipping or delivery of your alcohol beverages. You may direct Speakeasy and/or the Licensed Retailer to act as your agent to arrange shipping or delivery of the purchased Product. You are fully responsible for ensuring that the purchase, transportation, shipping and delivery complies with local, state and federal laws. You are solely responsible for obtaining any required permits, authorizations, or approvals to purchase, ship and/or deliver the Product and are responsible for paying any required fees or costs. The Licensed Retailer will only ship your Products at your request and direction. Shipping and handling fees are NOT included with your order. Shipping dates and/or arrival times given are only estimates. Refunds are at the sole discretion of the retailer.

All deliveries must be signed for by an individual who is capable of proving that he or she is 21 years of age or older by providing a valid form of identification at the time of delivery. If there is no individual 21 years of age or older to accept the delivery, the delivery will not be able to be completed at that time. After three failed delivery attempts, the package will be returned to the Licensed Retailer and your credit card will be charged an additional fee in order to receive the package.

We reserve the right to refuse delivery for any reason, including without limitation, the failure to verify age at the time of delivery. Packages cannot and will not be left unattended for any reason.

SECTION 5. TITLE AND OWNERSHIP

Title to, and ownership of, all alcohol passes from a Licensed Retailer to you in the state or other jurisdiction where the Retailer is licensed. You are assuming all responsibility for the shipping of the product. Title and risk of loss or damage for such products will pass to you upon your purchase of the product. Further, you acknowledge and agree that your purchase of alcohol (including, Products) through the Sites is for personal consumption and not for resale.

SECTION 6. PAYMENT

Your credit or debit card will be charged by the Licensed Retailer for alcohol beverages or by Speakeasy for non-alcohol beverages immediately upon checkout. If you pay fees to Speakeasy for the purchase of any goods or services (Speakeasy does not sell alcohol), you agree to provide Speakeasy (or Speakeasy’s payment agent) with current, complete, true and accurate billing information, such as your credit card or other payment system number and expiration date. You may choose to store your payment information within your Account, if elected. All such payment information will be stored in accordance with Speakeasy’s Privacy Policy. We will not process orders that attempt to use an incorrect, expired, or over-the-limit credit card. However, in the event such an order is processed, we reserve the right to collect funds for any uncollected transactions owed. If you fail to pay any fees or charges when due or if a re-delivery fee or restocking fee is imposed, we may charge such amount directly to the credit card identified in your Account and may suspend or terminate your access to the Services, including your subscription. You are fully liable for and agree to pay all charges to (or incurred by) your account, including applicable taxes, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. You represent to Speakeasy that you are an authorized user or an authorized user of the chosen payment method used to pay all fees that you incur plus all applicable taxes. You shall be responsible and liable for any fees, including attorneys' fees and collection costs, that we may incur in our efforts to collect any unpaid balances from you. Your right to use the Services is subject to limits established by us and/or by your credit card issuer.

Speakeasy may provide links to other websites. Some of these websites may charge separate fees, which are not included in any subscription or other fees that you may pay to Speakeasy. Speakeasy may also provide access to third-party vendors who provide information, goods, and/or services on the Sites or the Internet. Any separate charges or obligations that you incur in your dealings with these third parties are your responsibility. Speakeasy makes no representation or warranty regarding any information, goods or services provided by any third-party.

We use a third party payment service in lieu of directly processing your credit card information. By submitting your credit card information, you grant Speakeasy Co. and the Licensed Retailer the right to store and process your information with the third party payment service, which may change from time to time; you agree that neither Speakeasy Co. nor the Licensed Retailer will be responsible for any failures of the third party payment service to adequately protect such information. All financial matters regarding your information are subject to the conditions of the third party payment service provider's terms of service. You acknowledge that we may change the third party payment service and move your information to other service providers that encrypt your information using secure socket layer technology (SSL) or other comparable security technology.

SECTION 7. SUBSCRIPTION PROGRAM

If you sign up for a periodic subscription, each period, among other things and depending on the specifics of the then-current subscription offering, a Licensed Retailer may ship you a package with the then-current subscription items (e.g., samples of Products, other samples, merchandise, recipes, instructions, and/or other ingredients) (a "Subscription Program"). Each period of your subscription, the selection of Products may change. Accordingly, Speakeasy Co. cannot guarantee that a selection of any such products available in a particular timeframe will be available in any subsequent timeframe.

To sign up for a Subscription Program, you must register as a member on the Sites. To register, you can simply provide the information required in our registration forms, which can be accessed through the Sites. All information that you provide to us is subject to the Privacy Policy. You are responsible for keeping your registration information accurate and up-to-date.

If you sign up for a Subscription Program, you acknowledge and consent to being charged a recurring payment and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges (including the subscription fee for the subsequent renewal term and any sale or similar taxes that may be imposed on your subscription payment) prior to the cancellation of your membership.

You may cancel your subscription at any time by submitting your request to cancel through the Site. Additionally, we may terminate your membership, without notice, for any reason.

Your subscription will be automatically renewed for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the subscription period originally selected, at the then-current non-promotional rate, for an indefinite time until cancelled by you or us.

The Subscription Program terms herein incorporate the terms of the particular Subscription Program as described in the subscription and checkout pages of the Sites. See the subscription page for a description of the current subscriptions and prices on the Sites. Note that any payment terms presented to you in the process of using or signing up for a paid subscription are deemed part of this Agreement.

SECTION 8. SUBSCRIPTION PROGRAM REFUNDS

Each subscription automatically renews following the end of the previous period’s subscription. To avoid being charged for next period and cancel the next period’s shipment, you must submit your request to cancel through the Site prior to the end of the current subscription period.

All cancellation requests received after the end of the subscription period will apply to the following subscription period. No prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period will be given.

IF YOU DO NOT CANCEL YOUR PERIODIC SUBSCRIPTION PRIOR TO THE END OF THE SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD, YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR RENEWING THE SUBSCRIPTION. UPON RENEWAL OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, IF SPEAKEASY DOES NOT RECEIVE PAYMENT FROM YOUR PAYMENT PROVIDER, (A) YOU AGREE TO PAY ALL AMOUNTS DUE ON YOUR ACCOUNT UPON DEMAND AND (B) YOU AGREE THAT SPEAKEASY MAY EITHER CANCEL OR SUSPEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AND CONTINUE TO 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).

If we terminate your membership or periodic subscription, we will refund prorated fees you paid for the periodic subscription that you have not yet received. You can re-subscribe at any time but we reserve the right to not permit re-subscription where we have previously elected to terminate a subscription by you.

SECTION 9. PROMOTIONAL EMAILS

When you first subscribe or make a purchase through the Sites, you agree to receive transactional and promotional emails from us. These emails may include, but are not limited to, tasting notes or recipes, promotional offers, subscription information or other offers. We will never rent, sell or share your email address except to the limited extent set forth in the Privacy Policy or otherwise in these Terms and Conditions. You may unsubscribe at any time by terminating your Account as described in Section 8 (Automatic Subscription Renewal).

SECTION 10. PRIVACY AND SECURITY

You understand that any information provided by you or collected by Speakeasy in connection with your use of the Sites and Services will be used in the manner described in these Terms and Conditions and in Speakeasy’s Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the Privacy Policy, you may not use the Services. Without limiting the terms of the Privacy Policy, you understand that Speakeasy does not guarantee that your use of the Services and/or the information provided by you will be private or secure, and Speakeasy is not responsible or liable to you for any lack of privacy or security you may experience. You are fully responsible for taking precautions and providing security measures best suited for your situation and intended use of the Services.

SECTION 11. NOTICE

Notices to you may be made via posting to the Sites, by email, or by regular mail, in Speakeasy’s discretion. Speakeasy also may provide notices of changes to these Terms and Conditions or other matters by displaying such notices or by providing links to such notices on the Sites. Without limitation, you agree that a printed version of these Terms and Conditions and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms and Conditions to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

The latest version of these Terms and Conditions will be posted to the Site, and you should review these Terms and Conditions prior to using the Sites. Any such changes to these Terms and Conditions will become effective immediately upon posting, and your continued use of the Sites and your Account following such notification will be deemed confirmation of your acceptance of such changes. You will not be eligible for any compensation because you cannot use any part of the Sites or because of a failure, suspension or withdrawal of all or part of the Sites.

SECTION 22. GOVERNING LAW

These Terms and Conditions, the Privacy Policy, and all issues collateral thereto shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California pertaining to contracts made and to be performed entirely therein and without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The Parties agree that neither the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods nor the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) will apply in any respect to the Agreement.

SECTION 23. EXPORT CONTROL

The Sites and Services are controlled and operated by Speakeasy from its offices within the United States. Speakeasy makes no representation that Content and other materials available through the Sites and Services are appropriate or available for use in any other locations. Those who choose to access the Sites and Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

You agree to abide by applicable export control laws and not to transfer, by electronic transmission or otherwise, any Content or other materials subject to restrictions under such laws to a national destination prohibited by such laws, without first obtaining, and then complying with, any requisite government authorization. You further agree not to upload to the Sites any data or software that cannot be exported without prior written government authorization, including, but not limited to, certain types of encryption software.

SECTION 24. ARBITRATION AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS

WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU ARE AGREEING TO A DISPUTE RESOLUTION POLICY THAT INCLUDES (1) A REQUIREMENT TO ARBITRATE ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY, INCLUDING ALL STATUTORY CLAIMS AND ANY STATE OR FEDERAL CLAIMS, THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, OUR PRIVACY POLICY OR YOUR USE OF THE SITES OR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE PROVIDED THROUGH THE SITES, OR ANY CLAIMS ARISING UNDER, CONCERNING, OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, THEIR INTERPRETATION, VALIDITY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIM THAT ALL OR ANY PART OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE VOID OR VOIDABLE), TERMINATION, OR SUBJECT MATTER, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, STATUTORY LAW, ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION OR OTHERWISE; AND (2) A WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT TO BRING A CLASS ACTION OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CLAIM. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO MAINTAIN OTHER AVAILABLE RESOLUTION PROCESSES, SUCH AS A COURT ACTION, TRIAL BY JURY, OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING, IN ORDER TO SETTLE YOUR DISPUTE.

You and Speakeasy agree that in the event of any dispute between us, each party will, in the first instance, notify the other party of the intent to initiate a formal proceeding in writing (the “Notice”). The parties shall attempt to resolve any controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to, any provision of the agreement or the breach thereof by good faith negotiations between the parties, and shall not initiate a formal proceeding for at least thirty (30) days from the date of the other party’s receipt of the Notice; provided that either party may seek formal relief in the event that it makes a good faith determination that a breach of these Terms and Conditions (or actual or threatened violation of its rights) by the other party is such that a temporary restraining order or other preliminary, injunctive or equitable relief is necessary. However, any such request by a party for interim equitable relief shall not be deemed a waiver of the obligation to arbitrate hereunder.

FINAL, BINDING, AND CONFIDENTIAL ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED BEFORE ONE ARBITRATOR IN THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA. THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE ADMINISTERED BY JAMS PURSUANT TO ITS COMPREHENSIVE ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXPEDITED PROCEDURES IN THOSE RULES.

In any arbitration arising out of or related to this agreement, there shall be no interrogatories or requests to admit. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by JAMS or by the arbitrator.

The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of these Terms and Conditions. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be enforced by any state or federal court that has jurisdiction; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall not have authority to make errors of law and any arbitration award may be challenged if the arbitrator does so. The arbitrator shall give a written statement of the disposition of each claim and the award, including any award of costs, expenses or interest, shall provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions upon which it is based.

The prevailing party, as determined by the arbitrator, shall be entitled to collect its reasonable costs, expenses, and interest (including reasonable attorneys' fees, arbitration fees, and other such costs). Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not prevent parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

IN ANY ARBITRATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE ARBITRATOR(S) ARE NOT EMPOWERED TO AWARD PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, EXCEPT WHERE PERMITTED BY STATUTE, AND THE PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RECOVER ANY SUCH DAMAGES. THE ARBITRATOR(S) MAY NOT AWARD ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS.

The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and any award, including the arbitration hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as maybe necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

YOU AND SPEAKEASY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. FURTHER, UNLESS BOTH YOU AND SPEAKEASY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS WITH YOUR CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

If a court refuses to enforce the waiver of class-wide arbitration, this entire arbitration provision shall be unenforceable and any claims brought on behalf of a putative class will proceed in court.

IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if we are suffering irreparable harm arising out of or related to your use of the Sites, we are not precluded from bringing an action or claim with respect thereto before the appropriate federal or state court located in the county of San Diego, California, and you consent to personal and subject matter jurisdiction of such court related to any such action or claim.
