3. Your Account, Account Security 

You may need to register for an account to access some or all of our Services.

You must not authorize others to use your account credentials. You are responsible for the activities of such users that occur in connection with your account. We reserve the right to reclaim usernames, including on behalf of businesses or individuals that hold legal claim, including trademark rights, in those usernames.

4. Paid Services

• Our Services may include both paid-for Services (“Paid Service(s)”) and free Services, for which no fees are charged (“Free Service(s)”). We may also offer certain Paid Services to be paid for on a recurring basis (“Subscription Service(s)”) and others on an as-used basis (“A La Carte Service(s)”). Subscription Services may subject you to recurring fees and/or terms. By signing up for a Subscription Service, including after any free trial period, you agree to pay us the subscription fee and any applicable taxes, charges, fees, levies or other assessments imposed by any domestic or foreign taxing authority (“Taxes”) (collectively, “Subscription Fee”). A La Carte Services may subject you to fees and Taxes charged per usage and/or terms, including transaction volume (“A La Carte Fee(s)” and, together with Subscription Fees, the “Paid Services Fee(s)”). We will invoice you on the first of each month for any A La Carte Fee(s) incurred during the immediately preceding month.  By using an A La Carte Service, you agree to pay the A La Carte Fee(s) within thirty (30) days from the invoice date, unless otherwise stated in an order form. Unless otherwise stated, all Paid Services Fees are exclusive of any Taxes. You are responsible and liable for determining any and all Taxes required to be assessed, incurred, collected, paid or withheld for your use of the Services. 
  
• IF YOU ENTER INTO A SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE, UNLESS YOU CANCEL THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE BEFORE RENEWAL, BY DEFAULT (AND WITH PRIOR NOTICE TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW), YOUR SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW FOR THE AGREED UPON MONTHLY OR ANNUAL TERM, AND THE APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION FEE WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED TO YOU AT THE TIME OF RENEWAL WITH AN ACTIVE PAYMENT METHOD ON FILE IN YOUR ACCOUNT.  
  
• IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE TO AUTOMATICALLY RENEW, YOU CAN CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO RENEWAL USING THIS LINK AND CLICKING THE “CANCEL SUBSCRIPTION” BUTTON, OR ON YOUR “ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT” PAGE BY CLICKING THE “CANCEL SUBSCRIPTION” BUTTON. YOU MAY ALSO CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE BY SENDING THE FOLLOWING CANCELLATION EMAIL TO US.  You may cancel a Subscription Service at any time, but if you cancel your Subscription Service before the end of the current subscription period, we will not refund any Paid Services Fees already paid to us.  
  
• We may change the Paid Services Fees at any time, but any such change will not apply to you until such time as your current Subscription Service expires or is renewed (whichever is earlier).  After such time, your use of the applicable Services will be charged at the then-current Paid Services Fees. If you do not agree to these price changes, you must cancel your Subscription Services before the changes take effect, by providing at least ten (10) days prior notice. If you do not provide such notice, your Subscription Services will automatically renew at the then-current price at the time of renewal and for the same duration as the initial subscription term, and we will charge your on-file payment card or method on the first day of the renewal of the subscription term. Where a Paid Services Fee has increased, we will notify you of the relevant fee increase prior to the renewal of your Subscription Service. If you switch to a Subscription Service with higher Subscription Fees, we will restart your billing period on the date you switch to the new Subscription Service and apply a pro-rated credit of the amount not used for the old Subscription Service to the first month’s payment for the new Subscription Service.  We may establish, limit, revoke, and otherwise change credit and credit usage limits and terms at any time, in our sole discretion, with or without notice to you.
  
• All financial transactions conducted for the Paid Services are made using one or more third-party payment processors we may engage from time to time.  All such transactions are governed by the payment processors’ respective terms of use and privacy policies, which we do not control. We have provided a list of our third-party processors and links to their respective terms of service and privacy policies HERE. We encourage you to review our third-party payment processors’ terms of service and privacy policies before submitting your payment information.  We do not process or retain your credit card, debit card, or other payment information.  This information is used solely for the purpose of allowing you to sign up for and access and use the Paid Services. All billing information you provide to our third-party payment processor must be truthful and accurate and you represent that you are authorized to use the payment method in the manner contemplated here.  You expressly authorize us (via our third-party payment processors) to charge the payment method you provide for any Paid Services you use.  Your selection of the “Subscribe,” “Accept” or similar button on the checkout page is your electronic signature and you agree that (i) this signature is the legal equivalent of your wet or manual signature and (ii) this transaction is equivalent to an in-person transaction where your payment method is physically present.
  
• If your payment details change, your card or other payment method provider may provide us with updated payment details. We may use these new details or details from other payment methods on file in order to help prevent any interruption to your use of the Paid Services. If you do not want to have your card or other payment method automatically updated, you can opt out of these services by contacting your financial institution. If you would like to use a different payment method or if there is a change in payment method, please send the following email to us.
  
• The billing date will depend on the type of Paid Service (e.g., monthly or annual Subscription Service) that you choose and will be charged on the billing date indicated on your “Account Management” page. In certain circumstances, your billing date may change.  For instance, if we are unable to successfully charge your card on a given day (e.g., a Federal holiday or due to technical failures).  If we cannot charge your payment method for any reason (such as expiration or insufficient funds), and you have not canceled the Subscription Service, you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts for the Subscription Service as well as any A La Carte Fees, and we will attempt to charge the payment method as you may update your payment method information. We reserve the right to cancel or suspend your Service if we are unable to successfully charge your payment method for any Paid Services.

Such Free Services are subject to these Terms except as otherwise stated in the free trial offer.

19. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration

Please read the following Section 19 carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Company and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us, unless you opt out of arbitration by following the instructions set forth below. No class or representative actions or arbitrations are allowed under this arbitration provision. In addition, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or having a jury trial.

• No Representative Actions. You and Company agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and Company and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
• Arbitration of Disputes. Except for disputes in which you or Company seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged infringement, violation or misappropriation of intellectual property, you and Company waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services, including claims related to privacy and data security, (collectively, “Disputes”) resolved in court. Instead, for any Dispute that you have against Company you agree to first contact Company and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) to Company by email at legal@inworld.ai or by certified mail addressed to Theai, Inc. (DBA Inworld), 1975 West El Camino Real, Suite 300, Mountain View, CA  94040. The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above. If you and Company cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the Dispute to binding arbitration administered by JAMS or, under the limited circumstances set forth above, in court. All Disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be held in San Francisco, California unless you are a consumer, in which case you may elect to hold the arbitration in your county of residence. For purposes of this Section 19, a “consumer” means a person using the Services for personal, family or household purposes.  You and Company agree that Disputes will be held in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”). The most recent version of the JAMS Rules are available on the JAMS website and are hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason. 
• You and Company agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 19 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any Dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. 
• The arbitration will allow for the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute.  The arbitrator, Company, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the Dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision. 
• You and Company agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee (up to a maximum of $250 if you are a consumer), and Company will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Company, Company will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and Company agree that the state or federal courts for San Francisco, California have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award. 
• Any Dispute must be filed within one year after the relevant claim arose; otherwise, the Dispute is permanently barred, which means that you and Company will not have the right to assert the claim.
