13.5. Injunctive and Declaratory Relief.
- Except as provided in Section 13.2. above, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either Party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual Party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that Party’s individual claim. To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The Parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
13.6. Class Action Waivers
- YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH PARTY 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. Further, if the Parties’ Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.

16. Usage Rules; Product Claims.
Since you are downloading the App from an third party app store or distribution platform (like the Apple App Store, Google Play or the Amazon App store) where the App is made available (each, an “App Provider”) your use of the App may also be governed by usage rules which the App Provider may have established, and which relate to your use of the App (“Usage Rules”). In addition to the Usage Rules specified in this Section below, it is your responsibility to determine what other Usages Rules are applicable to your use of the App. You undertake to comply with all Usage Rules applicable to your use of the App and these are incorporated herein by reference.
Where any terms set out under in this Agreement are less restrictive than, or otherwise are in conflict with, applicable terms of the App Providers (including Apple’s usage rules set forth in Apple’s App Store Agreement), the terms of the applicable App Provider will prevail. We acknowledge and you acknowledge and agree that the App Provider(s) (and the App Providers’ subsidiaries) are third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and that, upon your acceptance of this Agreement, they will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary thereto.
If you accessed or downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, then you agree to use the App only: (1) on an Apple-branded product or device that runs iOS (Apple’s proprietary operating system software); and (2) as permitted by the “Usage Rules” set forth in Apple’s App Store Agreement.

- This Agreement is between you and Company, and not with any App Provider, and that, as between Company and the App Provider, Company, is solely responsible for the App.
- App Provider has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.
- In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify App Provider and App Provider will refund the purchase price for the App to you (if applicable) and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, App Provider will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure of an App to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of Company to the extent set forth in this Agreement.
- App Provider is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third party relating to the App or your possession and use of the App, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
- In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights, to the extent required by this Agreement, Company will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.
- You must also comply with all applicable third-party agreements when using the App.

By using the App you represent and warrant that: (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties, including without limitation, the U.S. Treasury Department's Specially Designated Nationals List or the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Persons List or Entity List.
