By accepting these Terms of Service and using the Site, you affirm that you are of legal age to enter into this Agreement.

References to “you” and “your” in this Agreement will refer to both the individual using the Site.

This Agreement contains a mandatory arbitration provision that, as further set forth in section 18 below, requires the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or any other court proceedings, or class actions of any kind.

1. Changes

We may change this Agreement from time to time by notifying you of such changes by any reasonable means, including by posting a revised Agreement through the Site. Any such changes will not apply to any dispute between you and us arising prior to the date on which we posted the revised Agreement incorporating such changes, or otherwise notified you of such changes.

You agree that your continued use of the Site following any changes to this Agreement will constitute an irrefutable presumption of your acceptance of such changes. The “Last Updated” legend above indicates when this Agreement was last changed. We may, at any time and without liability, modify or discontinue all or part of the Site (including access to the Site via any third-party links); charge, modify or waive any fees (which shall remain free for the foreseeable future) required to use the Site; or offer opportunities to some or all Site users.

You represent and warrant that any information you provide in connection with the Site is and will remain accurate and complete, and that you will maintain and update such information as needed. To the extent that there is any contradiction between the provisions of this Agreement and the Privacy Policy regarding personal data, the provisions of the Privacy Policy shall prevail.
