This Subscriber Agreement controls Customer’s access to Provider’s services (the “Service”) and its associated applications and website. By clicking “I Agree,” or using the Service as a subscriber, Customer agrees to the terms of this Subscriber Agreement. If an individual is accepting this Subscriber Agreement on behalf of an entity such entity shall be deemed the Customer hereunder and such individual hereby represents and warrants that he/she has the power and authority required to bind such entity to this Subscriber Agreement.
IF CUSTOMERS REGISTER FOR A FREE TRIAL OR ARE OTHERWISE GIVEN EVALUATION ACCESS OF PROVIDER’S SERVICES, THIS AGREEMENT WILL ALSO APPLY.
Customer and users of the Service under Customer’s account (“End Users”) may access and use the Services in accordance with this Subscriber Agreement and Provider’s User Terms of Use, Provider’s Website Terms of Use and Provider’s Privacy & Data Protection Policy, current copies of which can be found at https://store.kitchenbrains.com/website-terms-and-conditions/. Provider may update or modify the Services from time to time. If, in Provider’s reasonable judgment, any such modification to the Service materially reduces the Service’s functionality, Provider will inform Customer via the email address associated with Customer’s account no less than twenty (20) days prior to such change. Provider will use technical and enterprise security measures to protect the integrity of Customer Data and to guard against the unauthorized or unlawful access to, use of or processing of such Customer Data.
For purposes of this Subscriber Agreement, “Customer Data” shall mean the structured and unstructured data and any files or attachments originating from devices, equipment, and appliances, being monitored or otherwise controlled, or submitted to the Service by Customer, as well as the account and contact information submitted to the Service by Customer and its End Users. Provider will take steps to protect the Service from any viruses, backdoors, Trojans, or other computer code that is designed to disrupt, disable or harm the operation of the Service. If Customer has engaged a third-party purchasing agent to purchase Services on its behalf, such purchasing agent is not the Customer, and Customer agrees that Customer is still solely responsible for compliance with this Subscriber Agreement
Provider does not warrant or support any third-party service (e.g., a service that utilizes the Provider API in connection with Customer’s use of the Service) and will not be responsible for any act or omission on the part of such third party or its service.
By subscribing to the Service and providing payment account information, Customer agrees to these payment terms and conditions.

Fees are non-refundable except as required by law or as explicitly set forth herein. Customer will pay all applicable fees when due and, if such fees are being paid via credit card or other electronic means, Customer authorizes Provider to charge such fees using Customer’s selected payment method. With Customer approval, Customer accounts may be set to auto-renew and as such may be subject recurring invoicing and payments. Fees will be incurred and charged on an annual, quarterly, or monthly basis based on Customer’s subscription. Provider may automatically invoice Customer for such renewal on or before the renewal date associated with Customer’s account unless Customer has terminated the Service or Provider terminates the Service. Customer must cancel the Service prior to its renewal date in order to avoid invoicing of the next period’s fee. If Customer chooses to cancel the Service, Customer may use the Service until the end of the current period but will not be issued a refund for the most recently (or any previously) charged fees. Customer can cancel Service anytime by notifying Provider or online by going into the Customer’s account settings prior to its renewal date.

Claims relating to this Agreement, or the Service will be resolved through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth below. The parties agree that the Subscriber Agreement affects interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions. Initial Dispute Resolution: The parties agree that most disputes can be resolved without resort to litigation. The parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with each other, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. Accordingly, before initiating a lawsuit or arbitration, Customer Agrees to contact Provider to attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith. Binding Arbitration & Class Action Waiver: If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time the informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to the Agreement (including its formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. Thus, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN 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 arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the disputes, claims or controversies will not be subject to arbitration and must be litigated in state or federal court located in Broward County, Florida. 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 the Subscriber Agreement, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of the Subscriber Agreement is 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 binding on the Parties and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Arbitration will be held in Broward County, Florida. If any court or arbitrator determines that this arbitration provision is void or unenforceable for any reason or that the parties are not bound to arbitrate their claims, then the disputes, claims or controversies deemed not to be subject to arbitration must be litigated in state or federal court located in Broward County, Florida. Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property Claims: Notwithstanding the foregoing, disputes, claims, or controversies concerning (1) either party’s patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets or (2) claims of piracy or unauthorized use of the Services (collectively, “IP Claims”) shall not be subject to arbitration.
