You represent and warrant to TBP that such information is true, correct and complete and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument provided. You will promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You agree to pay TBP the amount that is specified in the payment plan (as well as any applicable taxes) in accordance with the terms of such plan and this Terms. You hereby authorize TBP to bill your payment instrument in accordance with the terms of the applicable payment plan (as well as any applicable taxes) until you terminate your account, and you further agree to pay any charges so incurred.

For annual billing, you will receive an invoice on or around your Subscription start date. For the avoidance of doubt, each Subscription will last for a full twelve (12) months, but TBP will invoice you on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis as selected in your applicable subscription order).

Important Note for Company Authorized Users: If you are an “Authorized User” of a corporate user of the Services that has already executed a Membership Subscription Agreement with TBP for a Guided Pass Subscription (the “Corporate User”), TBP will charge the Corporate User and collect payment from the Corporate User directly.
TBP may change the price for Subscriptions from time to time and will communicate any price changes to you in advance and, if applicable, how to accept those changes. Price changes for Subscriptions will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. As permitted by law, you accept the new price by continuing to use your Subscription after the price change takes effect. If you do not agree with the price changes, you have the right to reject the change by cancelling your Subscription before the price change goes into effect.
Payments are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods. You may cancel a Subscription at any time, but if you cancel your Subscription before the end of the current subscription period, we will not refund any subscription fees already paid to us. Following any cancellation, however, you will continue to have access to the Services through the end of your current Subscription period. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all of our Users. The amount and form of such refunds, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion.

10. Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver.
You and TBP agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions. This Section 10 is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us or the Terms, any Subscription or the Services/Site, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small court claims, as provided below.
If you have any dispute with us, you agree that before taking any formal action, you will contact us at TBP, 13000 Beverly Park Rd. Suite A, Mukilteo, Washington 98275 and info@truthbitpull.com and provide a brief, written description of the dispute and your contact information (including your username, if your dispute relates to an account). Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
All disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to the Terms or the Services/Site that are not resolved by the procedures identified above shall be resolved by individual (not group) binding arbitration to be conducted before JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing, unless you and we both agree to another location or telephonic arbitration. For residents outside the United States, arbitration will be held in Seattle, Washington, and you and TBP agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Seattle, Washington in order to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Each party shall equally bear the cost of any arbitration filing fees and arbitration fees for claims of up to $75,000, unless the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be frivolous. You are responsible for all other additional costs that you may incur in the arbitration including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and expert witness costs unless TBP is otherwise specifically required to pay such fees under applicable law. If your claim is solely for monetary relief of $10,000 or less, and does not include a request for any type of equitable remedy, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing.
You and we agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in the party’s respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND TBP 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. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, you or we may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court with jurisdiction or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect Intellectual Property Rights (“Intellectual Property Rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). You or we may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction to the extent such claims do not seek equitable relief.
You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to TBP at the address identified in Section 14 below. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of (a) the “Date of Last Revision” date of these Terms as set forth above; or (b) your first date that you used the Services that contained any versions of the Terms that included this version of the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver, whichever is later. Otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, TBP also will not be bound by them. If TBP changes this ‘Arbitration’ section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Date of Last Revision” date above or in the date of TBP’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and TBP in accordance with the provisions of this section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE ABOVE DISPUTE PROCEDURES SHALL BE YOUR SOLE REMEDY IN THE EVENT OF DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND TBP REGARDING ANY ASPECT OF THE SERVICES OR SITE AND THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO LEAD OR PARTICIPATE IN A LAWSUIT INVOLVING OTHER PERSONS, SUCH AS A CLASS ACTION.
11. Termination.
You agree that TBP, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Services or any portion of the Site and remove and discard any content within the Services, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if TBP believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with these Terms. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of Services or Site, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. TBP may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Services, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Services under any provision of these Terms may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that TBP may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Services or Site. Further, you agree that TBP will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Services or Site.
Note for Authorized Users of a Corporate User: If you are an “Authorized User” of a Corporate User, your account may still be terminated at any time and from time to time in TBP’s sole and exclusive discretion. In addition, if a Corporate User’s account is terminated for any reason, such as non-renewal of a Guided Pass Subscription, your Authorized User account will be terminated on the date that such Corporate User account is terminated.
12. General.
These Terms constitute the full, final and comprehensive agreement between you and TBP and govern your use of the Services and Site whether through a Subscription or otherwise, superseding and replacing any prior or contemporaneous agreements between you and TBP with respect to the Services or Site. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third party services, third party content or third party software. These Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of Washington without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth in Section 10 above, you and TBP agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Seattle, Washington.
