We will add shipping and handling fees and applicable sales/use tax in accordance with our then-current policies. All orders are for personal use only and orders for resale are prohibited.
No Binding Offer. Nothing on the Site constitutes a binding offer to sell, distribute, or give away any products or services. In the event the products and services are listed at an incorrect price, we have the right to refuse or cancel orders placed at the incorrect price, regardless of whether the order has been confirmed or you have been charged. We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline such order, or any portion thereof, or to not ship to particular addresses, even after your receipt of an order confirmation or after you have been charged.

Membership And Recurring Billing. If you become a member, you will be charged for your membership using the billing information you provide at the time of enrollment (your “Billing Account”). By purchasing a membership, you authorize your Billing Account to be charged the fees then in effect for the membership on a recurring basis without any further authorization from you. Your non-termination constitutes your authorization for your Billing Account to be charged in accordance with and at the frequency (e.g., monthly or annually) identified at the time of enrollment. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes contained in your Billing Account information and to update your Billing Account information from available third-party sources. The terms of your payment may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, debit/credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen payment method (your “Payment Method Provider”). If InPickleball, Inc. does not receive payment from your Payment Method Provider, or we are advised of insufficient funds in your account or credit to cover your payment we may re-present such un-cleared or rejected payment, or the amount due in partial increments, to your Payment Method Provider. In the event we have to collect unpaid amounts you owe us, you will be liable for all collection costs, including attorneys’ and collection agency fees. In the event we cannot charge the payment method you provide, we reserve the right to suspend or cancel your membership and invoice you for any unpaid amounts.

We reserve the right to limit any introductory or trial offer to one per person/household.
How to Cancel Auto-Renewal. Our membership plans are subject to automatic renewal and therefore you will be charged for the term you select on a recurring basis. You can cancel your membership at any time to avoid future charges, or to receive a pro rata refund for an annual membership.

In addition, these Rules of Conduct are here to help you understand the conduct that is expected of members of the Site’s online community particularly with regard to posting on the Public Forums:
- Your User Content. All of your User Content either must be original with you or you must have all necessary rights in it from third parties in order to permit you to comply with these Terms. Your User Content should not contain any visible logos, phrases, or trademarks that belong to third parties. Do not use any User Content that belongs to other people and pass it off as your own; this includes any content that you might have found elsewhere on the Internet. If anyone contributes to your User Content or has any rights to your User Content, or if anyone appears or is referred to in the User Content, then you must also have their permission to submit or post such User Content. (For example, if someone has taken a picture of you and your friend, and you submit or post that photo to Company as your User Content, then you must obtain your friend’s and the photographer’s permission to do so.)

- Act Appropriately. All of your Site activities must be venue appropriate, as determined by us. Be respectful of others’ opinions and comments so we can continue to build community for everyone to enjoy. If you think your User Content might offend someone or be embarrassing to someone, then chances are it probably will, and it doesn’t belong on the Site. Cursing, harassing, stalking, insulting comments, personal attacks, gossip, and similar actions are prohibited. Your User Content must not threaten, abuse, or harm others, and it must not include any negative comments that are connected to race, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or physical handicap. Your User Content must not be defamatory, slanderous, indecent, obscene, pornographic, or sexually explicit.
- Do Not Use For Commercial Or Political Purposes. Your User Content must not advertise or promote a product or commercial activity, or a politician, public servant, or law.
- Do Not Use For Inappropriate Purposes. Your User Content must not promote any infringing, illegal, or other similarly inappropriate activity.
- Be Honest And Do Not Misrepresent Yourself Or Your User Content. Do not impersonate any other person, user, or company, and do not submit User Content that you believe may be false, fraudulent, deceptive, inaccurate, or misleading, or that misrepresents your identity or affiliation with a person or company.
- Others Can See. We hope that you will use the Public Forums to exchange information and content and have venue appropriate discussions with other members. However, please remember that the Public Forums are public or semi-public and User Content that you submit on the Site within a Community may be accessible and viewable by other users. Do not submit personally identifying information (e.g., first and last name together, password, phone number, address, credit card number, medical information, e-mail address, or other personally identifiable information or contact information) and take care when disclosing this type of information to others.

14. ARBITRATION / DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without application of conflict of laws rules, except that these Arbitration provisions shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
Resolution of Any Dispute. In the event a dispute arises between you and InPickleball, Inc. (“Dispute”), we want to provide you with an efficient, neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute. Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by contacting us by writing to InPickleball, Inc. c/o MediaWorks 360, P.O. Box 783 Greens Farms, CT 06838. If, however, the Dispute cannot be resolved by the personnel directly involved, the parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute promptly by negotiation between duly appointed executive officers or other representatives of such parties, with full authority to negotiate and settle the Dispute. If a Dispute has not been resolved by negotiations within 90 days as provided hereinabove, such Dispute shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor (collectively, “JAMS”), for mediation as provided hereinbelow. Any party involved in the Dispute may commence mediation by providing to JAMS and each other party involved in the Dispute a written request for mediation, setting forth the subject of the Dispute and the relief requested. The parties will cooperate with JAMS and with one another in selecting a mediator from JAMS’ panel of neutrals and in scheduling the mediation proceedings. The parties covenant that they will participate in the mediation in good faith, and that they will share equally in its costs. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the mediator and any JAMS employees, are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any litigation or other proceeding involving the parties; provided, however, that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation. None of the parties may commence arbitration or a civil action with respect to the matters submitted to mediation until after the completion of the initial mediation session, or 30 business days after the date of filing the written request for mediation, whichever occurs first. Mediation may continue after the commencement of arbitration or a civil action, if the parties so desire.
Limitation of Legal Remedies. If there is a Dispute that remains unresolved after mediation, INSTEAD OF SUING IN COURT, YOU AND INPICKLEBALL, INC. EACH AGREE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THE JAMS ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES, ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, WITHOUT CLASS RELIEF, EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES PERTAINING TO INPICKLEBALL, INC.’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND STATUTORY CLAIMS THAT PURSUANT TO LAW ARE NOT ARBITRABLE. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes claims based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory (“Claim(s)”). The arbitrator’s decision and award are final and binding, with some exceptions under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. 1, et seq., and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.
Jury Trial Waiver. YOU AND INPICKLEBALL, INC. EACH VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN US ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR THE SITE OR SERVICES.
Class Action Waiver. YOU AND INPICKLEBALL, INC. EACH AGREE THAT CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. All arbitrations under these Terms must be conducted on an individual (and not a class-wide) basis, and an arbitrator will have no authority to award class-wide relief. You acknowledge and agree that these Terms specifically prohibit you from commencing any legal proceedings as a representative of others, participating in a class, representative, or collective action as a class representative, class member or an opt-in party, acting as a private attorney general, or joining or consolidating Claims with claims or proceedings brought by any other person (“Class Action Waiver”).
Arbitration Procedures. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written Notice of Dispute describing the nature and basis of the Claim and setting forth the specific relief sought (“Notice”). All Notices to InPickleball, Inc. must be sent to the following address: InPickleball, Inc. c/o MediaWorks 360, 783 Greens Farms, CT 06838. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us but if no such information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this Section. Upon receipt of such Notice, the receiving party will have a 60-day period in which it may satisfy the Claim against it by fully curing the Claim, providing all the relief requested in the Notice, or entering into a settlement to resolve the Claim to the mutual satisfaction of the parties. After the expiration of such 60-day cure period, you or InPickleball, Inc. may commence an arbitration proceeding. Unless otherwise agreed to by you and InPickleball, Inc. in writing, the arbitration will be governed and conducted by JAMS before a single arbitrator with substantial experience in the internet industry and shall follow substantive law in adjudicating the Dispute. This Section shall be construed as a written agreement to arbitrate pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). You and InPickleball, Inc. agree that this Section satisfies the writing requirement of the FAA. The arbitration of any claim will be conducted in the State of California, and for any non-frivolous claim that does not exceed $5,000.00, you shall have the choice as to whether the hearing is conducted in person or by telephone. Each party will pay the fees and costs of its own counsel, experts and witnesses. The JAMS rules are available on its website at www.jamsadr.com. To the extent that this dispute resolution Section conflicts with JAMS minimum standards for procedural fairness, the JAMS rules and/or minimum standards for arbitration procedures in that regard shall control. Neither party shall sue the other party other than as provided herein or for enforcement of this clause or for the arbitrator’s award; and any such suit may be brought only in Federal District Court or, if any such court lacks jurisdiction, in any state court that has jurisdiction. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, or enforceability of these Terms including any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable. However, the preceding sentence shall not apply to the clause entitled “Class Action Waiver”.
Exception to Arbitration. Only disputes or actions pertaining to InTOPickleballs intellectual property rights, or statutory claims that pursuant to law are not arbitrable, are exempt from arbitration.
Survival. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.
Severability. If any provision of this Section is declared or found by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be unlawful, unenforceable or void, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent that it is found unlawful, unenforceable or void, and the remainder of the provision and all other provisions will remain fully enforceable, except that if the Class Action Waiver for any Claim cannot be enforced, then the provision to arbitrate will not apply.
15. NO RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES.
You agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms, there are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms.
16. MISCELLANEOUS
