Resha. (“Resha,” “we” or “our”) provides a service for viewing, selling and purchasing original works of art and commercially exploiting digital images of works of art through our website, accessible at www.reshaonline.com

 

Certain areas of the Services and your access to certain Services may have different terms and conditions posted or may require you to agree with and accept additional terms and conditions. If there is a conflict between these Terms and the terms and conditions posted for a specific area of the Services or for access to specific Services, the latter terms and conditions shall take precedence with respect to your use of or access to that area of the Services.

 

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. THESE TERMS INCLUDE AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT ANY DISPUTE RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES TO BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN PROCEED IN COURT. IF YOU WANT TO OPT-OUT OF THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, YOU MAY DO SO PROVIDED YOU FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES SET FORTH BELOW IN THE SECTION ENTITLED “AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE”. THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION ALSO INCLUDES A CLASS ACTION WAIVER, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AGREE TO PROCEED WITH ANY DISPUTE INDIVIDUALLY AND NOT AS PART OF A PROPOSED CLASS. THESE TERMS ALSO INCLUDE A WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATE YOUR CLAIMS.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES OR BY SELLING OR PURCHASING A WORK ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES OR BY POSTING ANY CONTENT ON THE SERVICES, YOU ARE INDICATING THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE REGISTERED WITH THE SERVICES. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND THE PRIVACY POLICY, THEN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES.

If you accept or agree to these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to these Terms and, in such event, “you” and “your” will refer and apply to that company or other legal entity.

Modifications to these Terms

Resha reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify, discontinue or terminate the Services or to modify these Terms, at any time and without prior notice. If we modify these Terms, we will post the modification on the Services or provide you with notice of the modification. We will also update the “Last Updated Date”. By continuing to access or use the Services after we have posted a modification on the Services or have provided you with notice of a modification, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If the modified Terms are not acceptable to you, your only recourse is to cease using the Services. We encourage you to check back regularly to review these Terms.

We may modify or remove any Original Works of Art (as defined below), Digital Works (as defined below), Resha Content (as defined below) or Member Content (as defined below) from the Services at any time without notice to you, including the removal of any works of art or content that we believe to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable.

Occasionally, there may be information on the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions, and to change or update information if any such information on the Services is inaccurate at any time without prior notice. We undertake no obligation to update, amend or clarify information in the Services, except as required by applicable local, state, federal or international laws, regulations, or statutes. No specified update or refresh date applied to the Services should be taken to indicate that all information on the Services has been modified or updated.

Seller Terms and Conditions

Listing Works on the Services

 

As a Member, you may submit listings for original works of art (“Original Works of Art”) that you have created and that you desire to sell through the Services. You may not submit listings for Original Works of Art that were created by another artist. As a Member you may also submit listings for digital images of works of art (“Digital Works”) that you have created and that you desire to commercially exploit through the Services. You may not submit listings for Digital Works that were created by another artist. In order for your listings to be accepted, you must provide Resha with all the information requested by Resha and you must comply with any other Resha requirements as identified to you. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if you submit listings for sale you may be required to verify your identity by separately providing Resha with a copy of a government-issued ID, tax identification, VAT ID, or similar documentation and information. Your listings must be accurate and complete and comply with Resha’s then-current listings content guidelines, which are available at www.reshaonline.com/guidelines. Resha reserves the right to edit any listings to ensure that they comply with these guidelines. You acknowledge that your listings may not be immediately searchable by keyword or category for several hours (or up to 24 hours or more in some circumstances). The placement of your listings in search and browse results may be based on factors that include without limitation title, keywords and price.

 

You acknowledge that Resha reserves the right to promote and market Original Works of Art and/or Digital Works through the use of sales and/or discounts. The sale or discount amount will apply to the listing price of Original Works of Art and/or Printed Works (defined below) relating to the Digital Works. You always retain the right to remove a listing for an Original Work of Art or Digital Work from the Services – please see below for instructions.

 

If you want to remove a listing for an Original Work of Art or Digital Work from the Services you must go to your account, click on the image you want to delete and then click on Delete and follow the steps set forth on that page.

Responsibility for Works

 

You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for all Original Works of Art and Digital Works that you make available through the Services. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that: (i) as to Original Works of Art that you make available through the Services, you are the creator of all such Original Works of Arts and you are the sole and exclusive owner of all such Original Works of Art; (ii) as to Digital Works that you make available through the Services, you are either the sole and exclusive owner of all such Digital Works or you have all rights, licenses, consents and releases that are necessary to grant to Resha the rights in such Digital Works as contemplated under these Terms; and (iii) neither the Original Works of Art nor Digital Works that you make available through the Services nor Resha’s use and exploitation thereof as contemplated under these Terms will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party’s patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, moral rights or other intellectual property rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, intellectual property rights or other third party rights, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.

Online Sales

 

If you submit listings for Original Works of Art, you are selling such Original Works of Art through the Services and on third party websites and sales channels (collectively “Online Sales”) and you hereby grant Resha a worldwide, transferable, nonexclusive, right and license, with a right to sublicense, to: (i) use, reproduce, distribute, publicly perform and publicly display copies of the Original Work of Art sales via the Sales Channels; and (ii) access, view, use, crop, resize, copy, distribute, license, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit and broadcast copies of the Original Work of Art in any form, medium or technology now known or later developed for the purpose of promoting Resha, the Services. You acknowledge and agree that the foregoing license rights are granted on a royalty-free basis and that your sole compensation for the grant of such license rights, if any, will be in the form of the Artist Revenue Share (defined below), which is payable only upon the sale of an Original Work of Art via the Online Sales channel.

  

If an Original Work of Art and/or Printed Works are sold via a third party website, the terms and conditions of the third party website will apply to the purchase in question by the applicable purchaser via the third party website. However, as between you and Resha, these Terms will apply to the sale of such Original Work of Art and/or Printed Work.

 

Resha and/or its third party service providers will be responsible for collecting billing and shipping information from the purchaser and for processing payment for such purchases via the Services. For purchases made via third party websites and for Offline Sales, the applicable third party website or Resha’s Offline Sales partner will be responsible for collecting billing and shipping information, as applicable, from the purchaser and for processing payments, and will remit applicable payments relating to such sales as agreed upon between Resha and the third party website or Resha’s Offline Sales partner, as applicable, to Resha and share related shipping information, including the contact details of the purchaser where necessary, with Resha.

 

For Original Works of Art only, Resha will provide you with the name and address of the purchaser and, unless otherwise instructed in writing by Resha, you will be responsible for shipping the purchased Original Work of Art directly to the purchaser. Resha will provide you with information regarding its preferred shippers with which Resha maintains an account. You agree to ship the purchased Original Work of Art to the purchaser within seven (7) days following the date of purchase (the “Shipping Period”). If you do not ship the purchased Original Work of Art to the purchaser prior to the expiration of the Shipping Period, then the sale may be cancelled. If you ship the purchased Original Work of Art via a Resha preferred shipper account, Resha will be responsible for the cost of shipping. You are responsible for providing accurate shipping weight, shipping dimensions and shipping address to Resha if you are using a Resha preferred shipper. If actual shipping weight, shipping dimensions and shipping origination information at the time of shipment varies from the information provided by you, Resha (after providing documentation) reserves the right to deduct the resulting increased shipping costs from your Artist Revenue Share (defined below). If you do not ship the purchased Original Work of Art via a Resha preferred shipper or if you pay for the cost of shipping yourself, Resha will reimburse you for the amount you paid for shipping, up to the amount that Resha or the third party website charged the purchaser for shipping.

 

For sales of Original Works of Art via the Online Sales channels, Resha will credit your Account in an amount to be determined in accordance with Resha’s then-current standard pricing and revenue share terms; for sales of Original Works of Art via the Services, subject to Resha’s receipt of confirmation of delivery to the purchaser, Resha will credit your Account with the corresponding Artist Revenue Share following the expiration of the return period and for sales of Original Works of Art via third party websites, Resha will credit your Account with the corresponding Artist Revenue Share within a commercially reasonable time after it has received payment from the third party website and the Original Work of Art has been confirmed to have been successfully delivered to the purchaser, as determined by Resha, in its sole discretion.

 

You agree to comply with the terms and conditions of Resha’s then-current Return Policy that are applicable to any Original Works of Art that are sold through the Services.

 

 

You will have the right to request Resha to remit the Artist Revenue Share in your Account in accordance with a Resha-designated payment schedule. Upon the termination of these Terms or cancellation of your Account, Resha will remit to you the remaining balance of Artist Revenue Shares in your Account, if any.

 

If you remove a listing for a Digital Work from the Services, the license rights granted by you to Resha with respect to such Digital Work will terminate as of the date the listing is removed, except that such license rights will survive and remain in effect for as long as necessary for Resha and its third-party subcontractors to fulfill any in-progress orders for such Printed Works and for any orders for such Printed Works accepted by Resha or its third-party subcontractors or its Online Sales partners via third party websites and its Offline Sales partners prior to or as of the effective date of termination. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that the license rights granted by you to Resha with respect to using such Digital Work to promote Resha, the Services will remain in full force and effect for only as long as necessary for Resha to fulfill any current obligations that require using the Digital Work for such promotional purposes.

Purchaser Terms and Conditions

Purchases of Original Works of Art

 

As a Member, you may purchase Original Works of Art that are listed by other Members on the Services. When you purchase such an Original Work of Art through the Services, you are purchasing the work from the Member identified on the listing for such work and not from Resha. Prices for Original Works of Art will be as specified on the applicable listing. You acknowledge that prices do not include shipping and handling charges (unless specifically indicated on the Site) or applicable Taxes (defined below) including VAT, if any, for which you are responsible and which will be separately identified on your receipt. Resha and/or its third party service providers will collect your billing and shipping information and process your payment. Certain Original Works of Art (including, but not limited to, oversized works and sculptures) may require additional shipping and handling charges and special arrangements. The Member identified on the listing of the Original Work of Art will ship the purchased work directly to you. The terms and conditions of Resha’s then-current Return Policy apply to any Original Works of Art that you purchase through the Services. When you purchase Original Works of Art via Online Sales (other than via the Services) such purchases will be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Online Sales channels which will be presented to you at the time of purchase.

 

Order Cancellations

 

Resha reserves the right to cancel any order for an Original Work of Art or Printed Work placed via the Services if Resha determines, in its reasonable discretion, that the item is mispriced, out of stock, discontinued, or otherwise unavailable at the price listed via the Services. If Resha cancels an order placed via the Services, Resha will send you an email confirmation of such cancellation and you will not be charged for your order.

 

Terms for both Sellers and Purchasers

Transaction Restrictions

 

If you are a Member and have submitted a listing for an Original Work of Art or a Digital Work and have been contacted through the Services by another Member with respect to purchasing either of the foregoing, or a similar work or custom piece related to a listed work of art, you may not sell such Original Work of Art or Digital Work to such Member independent of Resha and the Services. Similarly, if you are a Member and desire to purchase an Original Work of Art or Digital Work for which another Member has submitted a listing, or a similar work or custom piece related to a listed work of art, you may not purchase such Original Work of Art or Digital Work from such Member independent of the Resha and the Services. Violation of this provision may result in the termination of your Member account as an artist or buyer, in addition to any other remedies available to Resha including, without limitation, injunctive or other appropriate relief.

 

Taxes

 

All prices, commissions, fees and other amounts referred to in these Terms, including any prices, commissions and fees set forth on the Services, are stated in U.S. dollars and do not include any sales, use, value added (“VAT”), goods and services (“GST”) or similar taxes or withholding taxes or any customs, duties or tariffs that may be assessed by any governmental tax authority or that are otherwise payable under applicable law with respect to the purchase, sale and licensing transactions contemplated hereunder (collectively, “Taxes”).

 

If you are a purchaser of Original Works of Art and/or Printed Works, you acknowledge that Taxes including VAT will be added to the amounts charged, when required or when allowed to do so. Each party will be responsible for complying with any and all obligations imposed on it under applicable law with respect to the collection and payment of any Taxes including VAT. Each party will cooperate with the other party, and furnish the other party with any customary written documentation or forms required under applicable law to enable the other party to comply with such obligations or to exercise any rights available under applicable law to minimize or to qualify for an exemption from any such obligations.

 

Color

 

You understand and agree that Resha uses commercially reasonable efforts to display the colors of Original Works of Art, Digital Works and Printed Works accurately via the Services. However, because individual computer monitors may display colors differently, Resha is not responsible for the color accuracy of any Original Works of Art, Digital Works or Printed Works displayed on the Services, and disclaims all liability in this regard.

 

Member Content

 

In addition to submitting listings for Original Works of Art and Digital Works, Resha may, in its sole discretion, designate areas of the Services in which Members can post, upload, publish or submit text, graphics, audio, video, images of works of art or other content on or to the Services (individually or collectively, “Member Content”). “Member Content” excludes any images of Original Works of Art or Digital Works for which a Member submits a listing, as described under “Seller Terms and Conditions” above. Resha does not claim any ownership rights in any such Member Content and nothing in these Terms will be deemed to restrict any rights that a Member may have to use and exploit any such Member Content. By making available any Member Content on or through the Services, (i) you grant Resha a worldwide, nonexclusive, transferable, royalty-free, commission-free license to crop, resize, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute, broadcast and transmit such Member Content on or through the Services in any form, medium or technology now known or later developed, for the purpose of promoting Resha, the Services, and (ii) you grant directly to other Members the right and license to view your Member Content on or through the Services only in connection with such Member’s authorized use of the Services. You reserve all other rights and licenses in and to any Member Content that you make available on or through the Services.

 

You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for any Member Content that you make available on or through the Services. You represent and warrant that: (i) you are the sole and exclusive owner of all Member Content that you make available on or through the Services or that you have all rights, licenses, consents and releases that are necessary to make available such Member Content and to grant all rights and licenses in such Member Content as granted under these Terms; and (ii) neither the Member Content nor your making available any Member Content on the Services nor any use of any Member Content as permitted under these Terms will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party’s patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, moral rights or other intellectual property rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.

 

Resha Content

 

Resha may also make available through the Services text, graphics, audio, video and images of works of art (collectively, “Resha Content”), some of which is owned by Resha (“Resha-owned Content”), and some of which is made available under license by a third party (“Resha-licensed Content”). Resha authorizes you to download, view and print Resha-owned Content solely for your personal use in visiting the Services and, if you are a Member, in connection with exercising the rights granted to Members under these Terms. For Resha-licensed Content, the scope of your rights thereto will be solely as set forth in the applicable license agreement that governs the use of such content, as identified on the Services where such content appears. Nothing in these Terms is intended to modify, restrict or limit the scope of your rights as to such Resha-licensed Content. No licenses or rights are granted to you by implication or otherwise under any intellectual property rights owned or controlled by Resha or its licensors, except for the licenses and rights expressly granted in these Terms.

NO ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN OR PURCHASE MADE BASED UPON ANY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE SERVICES. YOU SHOULD SEEK INDEPENDENT ADVICE FROM A PROFESSIONAL AND/OR A PERSON WHO IS KNOWLEDGEABLE IN THE APPLICABLE AREA BEFORE ACTING UPON ANY OPINION, ADVICE, OR INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE SERVICES.

 

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF YOUR COMMUNICATIONS AND INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER MEMBERS OR USERS OF THE SERVICES AND WITH OTHER PERSONS WITH WHOM YOU COMMUNICATE OR INTERACT AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS, RESHA DOES NOT SCREEN OR INQUIRE INTO THE BACKGROUND OF MEMBERS OR OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICES, NOR DOES RESHA MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO VERIFY THE STATEMENTS OF ANY MEMBERS OR USERS OF THE SERVICES. RESHA MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE CONDUCT OF USERS OF THE SERVICES. YOU AGREE TO TAKE REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS IN ALL COMMUNICATIONS AND INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER MEMBERS OR USERS OF THE SERVICES AND WITH OTHER PERSONS WITH WHOM YOU COMMUNICATE OR INTERACT AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, PARTICULARLY IF YOU DECIDE TO MEET OFFLINE OR IN PERSON.

 

Indemnity

 

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Resha, its officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the Services, Resha Content or Member Content, or your violation of these Terms.

 

Limitation of Liability

 

You acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the Services, Resha Content and Member Content remains with you. Neither Resha nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Services, Resha Content or Member Content will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute products or services, or for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with these Terms or from the use of or inability to use the Services, Resha Content or Member Content, or from any communications, interactions or meetings with other Members or users of the Services or other persons with whom you communicate or interact as a result of your use of the Services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not Resha has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

 

In no event will Resha’s aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms or from the use of or inability to use the Services, Resha Content or Member Content exceed: (i) if you are a Member who has sold Original Works of Art or has licensed Digital Works and has received any Artist Revenue Share from Resha from the sale of Printed Works, the total payments made or credited to you by Resha for the sale of your Original Works of Art and/or from the sale of Printed Works based on your licensed Digital Works during the three (3) month period preceding the date a claim for liability arises under these Terms; and (ii) if you are a Member who has purchased Original Works of Art or Printed Works, the total payments that you made to Resha for the Original Works of Art and/or Printed Works that are the subject of a claim. The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between Resha and you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

All trademarks, service marks, logos, trade names and any other proprietary designations of Resha used herein are trademarks or registered trademarks of Resha or its licensors. Any other trademarks, service marks, logos, trade names and any other proprietary designations are the trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective parties.

RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

 

These Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You and we expressly agree that any claim or dispute must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court or arbitration located in Los Angeles County, California, except as described in the Agreement to Arbitrate below or as otherwise mutually agreed by the parties.

Informal Resolution

It is our goal that the Services meet your expectations and provide excellent service. However, there may be instances when you feel that we have made a mistake or left you disappointed in some way. In those instances, we are committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution that satisfies you; however, we can only do this if we know about and understand your concern. Therefore, for any problem or dispute that you may have with us, you acknowledge and agree that you will, as an initial matter, email us at legal@reshaonline.com to describe to us the nature of your complaint or dissatisfaction. This should lead to resolution, but if for some reason your problem or dispute is not resolved satisfactorily within thirty (30) days after our receipt of your written description of it, you agree to the further dispute resolution provisions below. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the informal resolution process described in this paragraph is a precondition to pursuing any other process, so please do not forget to contact us first.

Mutual Agreement to Arbitrate

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND YOUR RIGHTS. BY ELECTING ARBITRATION, YOU AND WE AGREE TO ARBITRATE ANY CLAIMS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, UNLESS YOU OPT-OUT. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ALL SUCH CLAIMS WILL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PROPOSED CLASS ACTION. WHETHER OR NOT YOU OPT-OUT, HOWEVER, YOU ARE GIVING UP A RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. YOU AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS ARE MORE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

 

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, local, or other court or agency, WILL have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of THESE TERMS AND this Agreement to arbitrate, including but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of THESE TERMS OR this Agreement to Arbitrate is void or voidable.

 

You and we agree that, except as expressly set forth below, the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for any and all disputes and claims that cannot be resolved informally and that relate in any way to or arise out of your use of the Services and these Terms or to any products or services sold or distributed through the Services, will be final and binding arbitration, except to the extent that either party has, in any manner, infringed upon or violated, or threatened to infringe upon or violate, the rights of either party or any third party’s patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, privacy or publicity rights or is seeking to vindicate public rights, in which case both sides acknowledge that arbitration is not an adequate remedy and that injunctive or other appropriate relief may be sought by either party and/or the applicable third party(ies) on an individual basis in a court located in Los Angeles County, California. You and we acknowledge that this Agreement to Arbitrate affects interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to arbitrations under this Agreement to Arbitrate (despite any other choice of law provision). As a limited exception to this mutual Agreement to Arbitrate, you and we agree that either party may take claims to small claims court, if the claims qualify for hearing by such court.

 

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent.

 

US Claims

 

For users in the United States, the arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at adr.org/consumer or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.

 

Non-US Claims

 

For users outside of the United States, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach thereof, will be determined by arbitration administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution in accordance with its International Expedited Procedures (“ICDR Expedited Procedures”). The arbitration will be decided by a sole arbitrator appointed in accordance with the ICDR Expedited Procedures.

 

Means and Fees

 

In the interest of efficiency and fairness, you and we agree that the arbitration proceeding will be based solely on written submissions, unless the arbitrator deems an oral hearing strictly necessary. Should the arbitrator deem an oral hearing to be necessary, such hearing will be conducted via telephone or other electronic or technical means, or if that’s not possible, in person in the jurisdiction where you reside or at another mutually agreed upon location. The language of the arbitration will be English or, for users who reside outside of the U.S., the official language of your jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding, and judgment may be entered upon it by any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party will have the right to use legal counsel in connection with arbitration at its own expense. If you initiate arbitration, we will reimburse you for filing, administration and arbitrator fees for claims totaling less than USD $10,000, unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. We are not responsible for reimbursing you for costs incurred by you for legal counsel, travel or other out-of-pocket costs or expenses. We will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.

 

Right to Opt-Out

 

YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO OPT-OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE by sending an email to legal@reshaonline.com or by mailing us, postage prepaid, to Resha., Attn: Legal Department 11400 West Olympic Blvd, Suite 200, Los Angeles, CA, 90064. Such opt-out must be given within the earlier of thirty (30) days of approving your first purchase of products on the Services or your first upload of artwork to the Services or if we make any changes to this Agreement to Arbitrate which alter your rights, within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such revision to this Agreement to Arbitrate. Any opt-out received after such deadline will be ineffective and this Agreement to Arbitrate will remain in full force and effect, except as expressly provided above. If you opt-out of this Agreement to Arbitrate, we also will not be bound by the terms of this Agreement to Arbitrate.

 

Class Action Waiver

 

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NO ARBITRATION OR OTHER CLAIM UNDER THESE TERMS WILL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY ARBITRATION OR CLAIM INVOLVING ANY OTHER CURRENT OR FORMER USER OF THE SERVICES, AND NO CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE PERMITTED. In the event that this CLASS ACTION WAIVER is deemed unenforceable with respect to any particular claim otherwise subject to arbitration, then that claim will not proceed in arbitration but rather will be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction. If that occurs, however, this Agreement to Arbitrate and this Class Action Waiver still will be fully enforceable as to all other claims, which must be resolved in arbitration on an individual basis.

 

Waiver of Trial by Judge or Jury

 

YOU AND WE AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT BY USING ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE DISPUTES YOU AND WE ARE GIVING UP ANY RIGHT THAT YOU OR WE MAY HAVE TO A JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL WITH REGARD TO ALL CLAIMS SUBJECT TO THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. YOU AND WE FURTHER AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM HEARD IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION WILL BE HEARD BY A JUDGE INSTEAD OF A JURY, EXCEPT WHERE A JURY TRIAL WAIVER IS NOT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

Limitation of Actions

You and we agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim of cause of action arising from or relating to use of the Services, or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or will be forever barred.

Those who choose to access the Services, do so on their own initiative and at their own risk, and are responsible for complying with all local laws, rules and regulations. You also are subject to United States export controls in connection with your use of the Services and are responsible for any violations of such controls, including, without limitation, any United States embargoes or other federal rules and regulations restricting exports. We may limit the availability of the Services, in whole or in part, to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction that we choose, at any time and in our sole discretion.

Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Resha and you regarding the Services and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Resha and you regarding the Services.

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Resha’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. Resha may assign or transfer these Terms, at its sole discretion, without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

Any notices or other communications permitted to required hereunder, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be in writing and given: (i) by Resha via email (in each case to the address that you provide) or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

General

The failure of Resha to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Resha. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
