Please review Our Privacy Policy for information about how We handle personal information in relation to the Site, including important information about Our cross-border transfers of personal information.
b. SMS Terms
By providing Your mobile number to Us and providing any other authorization that may be required under applicable law, You agree to receive SMS from and on behalf of Us through your wireless provider to such mobile number, even if (to the extent permitted under applicable law) Your mobile number is registered on a state or federal "do not call" list. SMS may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system or other technology, for example technology that involves artificial or pre-recorded messages. Depending on Your authorizations and applicable law, SMS may include updates, alerts, and information (e.g., account alerts) and/or promotions, specials, and other marketing offers (e.g., information about sponsored Videos) (collectively, the "SMS Service").
You may opt out of SMS at any time by replying "STOP" to any text, at which point You will receive one more text message confirming Your opt-out. For help, You can reply with the keyword "HELP" for more assistance. For more information, including to contact Us directly via Our mailing addresses or Our contact webform, visit our Contact page, or email contact@vumedi.com directly. Participation in promotions/marketing SMS is not a condition of accessing or using the Site. Your participation in promotions/marketing SMS is completely voluntary. Do not provide Your phone number to Us for promotions/marketing SMS if You are younger than eighteen (18) years old.
We do not charge for participation in the SMS Service, but You are solely responsible for all charges and fees related to SMS, including charges from Your wireless provider. Not all mobile devices may be supported and SMS may not be deliverable in all areas. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Check Your mobile plan and contact Your wireless provider for details. We may change the short code or telephone number from which SMS are sent and We will notify You of these changes. You acknowledge that any messages, including any STOP or HELP requests, You send to a short code or telephone number We have changed may not be received and We are not responsible for honoring requests made in such messages.
We and the wireless carriers supported by the SMS Service are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. If You provided an invalid phone number, you may not receive SMS from Us until You provide a valid phone number. If You get a new mobile number, You will need to re-enroll in the SMS Service with Your new number. To the extent permitted by applicable law, You agree We are not liable for failed, delayed, or misdirected delivery of any information sent through the SMS Service, any errors in such information, and/or any action You may or may not take in reliance on the information or SMS Service.

16. GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
a. Governing Law
These Terms of Use and any action related thereto will be governed by the law of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly agreed by the parties or as described in the "Agreement to Arbitrate" subsection below, You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use will be filed only in the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, or the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of these Terms of Use.
This Section 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, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before this agreement or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to advertising); and claims that may arise after the termination of this agreement (collectively, "Disputes").
By agreeing to these Terms of Use, You agree to resolve any and all Disputes with Vumedi as set forth in these Terms of Use.
b. Agreement to Arbitrate
If You have an issue with the Site, we encourage you to first email contact@vumedi.com. If Your issue is not resolved by Vumedi, You agree that You and Vumedi will first discuss the issue informally for at least 60 days before commencing an arbitration action, as described below. To initiate a discussion, please send Your full name and contact information to us at Vumedi, Inc., 555 12th Street, Oakland, CA 94607, ATTN: Legal Department. If Vumedi needs to contact You, Vumedi will use the email address associated with Your Vumedi account. If we are unable to resolve the issue within 60 days, You and Vumedi agree that any Disputes will be settled by binding arbitration.
The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their 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 ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND VUMEDI ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both You and Vumedi otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Agreement to Arbitrate" subsection will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this "Governing Law; Dispute Resolution" section will survive termination of these Terms of Use.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") in accordance with the AAA Rules then in effect, except as modified by this "Governing Law; Dispute Resolution" section. The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this "Governing Law; Dispute Resolution" section.
A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration, as specified in the AAA Rules (the AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer_Demand_for_Arbitration_Form_1.pdf). The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator's decision will include the essential finding and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator's award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the "Limitation of Liability" section of these Terms of Use as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, You and Vumedi agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either party's rights, at any time, to (i) bring an individual action in a U.S. "small claims" court, but only if Your claim qualifies, Your claim remains in such court, and Your claim remains on an individual, non-representative, and non-class basis, or (ii) bring an individual action seeking only temporary or preliminary individualized injunctive relief in a court of law, pending a final ruling from the arbitrator.
You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending (from the email address you use on the Site) written notice of your decision to opt out to legal@vumedi.com with the subject line, "ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT." The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Site; otherwise, You shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If You opt out of these arbitration provisions, Vumedi also will not be bound by them.
Notwithstanding the provision of the "Changes to Terms or Use" section above, if Vumedi changes this "Governing Law; Dispute Resolution" section after the date You first accepted these Terms of Use (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Use), You may reject any such change by sending Vumedi a written notice (including by email at legal@vumedi.com) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the "Last Updated" date at the beginning of these Terms of Use or in the date of any Vumedi email that may be submitted to You to provide notice of such change. By rejecting any change, You are agreeing that You will arbitrate any Dispute between You and Vumedi in accordance with the provisions of this "Governing Law; Dispute Resolution" section as of the date You first accepted these Terms of Use (or as of the date You accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Use, where applicable).
