1.1 These terms constitute an agreement between you and Max Compute Co., if you are based in the United States, its territories and possessions, Canada, or Mexico (“North America”) or if you are based outside North America (each, for the purpose of these Terms, “M,” “us,” “we” or “our”).

Customers and Viewers may be referred to in these Terms as “you,” “your,” or “user,” as applicable. By accessing or using the Service, you accept these Terms, acknowledge that you have read and understand these Terms, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a business, company, or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such business or entity to these Terms, in which case the terms “you,” “your,” or “user” refer to such business or entity. If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree with these Terms, you must not accept these Terms and may not use the Service.

1.2 Max Compute Co. may change these Terms from time to time. You can review the most current version of these Terms at any time at https://M.vc//terms-of-service/.

If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of 30 days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under Section 18.2, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims (except as provided below) subject to these Terms. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms, the parties’ relationship with each other, and/or your use of Max Compute Co. Services will be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 U.S. Dollars and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 U.S. Dollars, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions.

17.4 Arbitrator’s Powers. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award will be written and will be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

17.5 Filing a Demand. To start an arbitration, you must do the following: (a) write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com); (b) send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS, Two Embarcadero Center, Suite 1500, San Francisco, California 94111; and (c) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to us at: hi@openscout.vc.

17.6 Fees and Costs. If your claim(s) total is less than US $5,000 U.S. Dollars, then: (a) you may choose whether your participation in the arbitration will be conducted on the basis of documents provided to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing or by an in-person hearing; (b) Max Compute Co. will reimburse your filing fees up to a maximum of US $1,500 U.S. Dollars unless the arbitrator determines that your claims are frivolous; and (c) Max Compute Co. will not seek attorney’s fees and costs, unless the arbitrator determines that your claims are frivolous. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

17.7 No Jury Trial. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration section, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

17.8 Venue. Arbitration will be initiated and take place in New York City, New York, United States, and you and Max Compute Co. agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in New York City, New York in order to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

17.9 Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that the arbitration will be conducted in the party’s respective 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 AND Max Compute Co. AGREE THAT EACH 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. 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 an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above will be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties will be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

17.10 Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property. Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations, or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy, or unauthorized use of intellectual property in any state or federal court with jurisdiction or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights).

18.1 If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable; and an enforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible.

18.2 No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of these Terms and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Max Compute Co. in any respect whatsoever; instead, our relationship is that of independent contractors.

18.3 In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under these Terms, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees.

18.4 These Terms create no third party beneficiary rights to the Max Compute Co. product or to any third party product made available through the Service.

18.5 Section headings are for ease of reference only.

These Terms will be governed by the law of the State of New York, exclusive of its choice of law and conflicts of law provisions. Unless otherwise elected by Max Compute Co. in a particular instance, you expressly agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in New York City, New York, for the purpose of resolving any dispute relating to your access to or use of the Service. The Convention for the International Sale of Goods will not apply.

22.1 Both parties agree that these Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersede and cancel all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms, and that all waivers and modifications must be in a writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided.

22.2 The following will survive any termination of this Agreement: Sections 1, 3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.7, 5, 7, 8, 9.2.3, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 23; all indemnity provisions and all disclaimers and limitations of warranties and damages set forth in these Terms or otherwise existing at law all definitions used in the foregoing sections, regardless of where located; and all perpetual licenses granted under this Agreement that are not expressly terminated.
