(or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof)
(“Dispute”), you as a user of the Parold Entertainment Services agree to first

arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one
person to the other.

negotiation did not work, you and Parold Entertainment agree that any dispute,
claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach,

binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right: (i) to bring an
individual action in small claims court and (ii) to seek injunctive or other

accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. 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, but not
limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable.
Either party may elect to appear at the arbitration by phone or, if mutually
agreed, to conduct it online, in lieu of appearing live. The arbitrator will be
empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or
in equity.
(iii) Arbitration Rules
The arbitration will be administered
by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the
Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for
Consumer-Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified
by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at
1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and
enforcement of this section.
(iv) Arbitrator’s Decision
The arbitrator will render an award
within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision
will include the essential findings 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 will be in writing and
provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions, will be binding
on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent
jurisdiction. The interpretation and enforcement of these Terms will be subject
to the Federal Arbitration Act.
(v) Class action and class arbitration
waiver
You and Parold Entertainment agree to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, 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.
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.
(vi) Changes
Notwithstanding the provisions as
regards how we can make changes to these Terms, if Parold Entertainment changes
this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you first accepted these Terms
(or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such
change by sending us written notice (including by email to contact@parold.com)
within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “last
updated” date above or in the date of our email to you notifying you of such
change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any
Dispute between you and Parold Entertainment in accordance with the provisions
of this “Dispute Resolution” section as of the date you first accepted these
Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

General provisions
(i)
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is determined by a court to be invalid, void or
unenforceable, the Parties agree that the remaining provisions of this
Agreement will not be affected thereby and that this Agreement will in any
event otherwise remain valid and enforceable.
(ii)
Survival
After this Agreement terminates, the
terms of this Agreement and the other Terms that expressly or by their nature
contemplate performance, after this Agreement terminates or expires, will
survive and continue in full force and effect. For example, the provisions
requiring arbitration, permitting audits, protecting intellectual property,
indemnification, payment of fees, reimbursement, and setting forth limitations
of liability each, by their nature, contemplate performance or observance after
this Agreement terminates. Without limiting any other provisions of the Terms,
the termination of this Agreement for any reason will not release you or Parold
Entertainment from any obligations incurred prior to termination of this
Agreement or that thereafter may accrue in respect of any act or omission prior
to such termination.
(iii) Waiver
No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will constitute a
continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly so provided in writing. The
failure of either Party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this
Agreement, will in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such
provisions. We do not guarantee that well will pursue legal actions against all
breaches of this Agreement.
(iv) Assignment
You may not assign these Terms, or any of its rights or obligations hereunder,
without Parold Entertainment’s prior written consent in the form of a written
instrument signed by a duly authorized representative of Parold Entertainment.
We may assign these Terms without your consent. Subject to the foregoing
restrictions, the Terms herein are binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the successors, heirs, and permitted assigns of the parties.
(v)
Force Majeure
Notwithstanding the other provisions
of this Agreement, if either party is in good faith prevented from performing
its obligations under this Agreement because of an event beyond the control of
the Party concerned, including without limitation, war (declared or
undeclared), acts of God, terrorism, earthquake, accident, explosion, fire or
flood, such Party will promptly notify the other Party, and while so affected,
the affected Party will be relieved from performing its obligations provided
that, the Party affected will take all reasonable steps to promptly remedy the
cause of such delay or failure if it is in its power to do so.
Parold Entertainment also reserves the
right to modify, suspend, or cease to operate entirely if operations become
inoperable. We shall not be liable to you for any liability or impact that any
of such modifications may have on you.
(vi) Entire
Agreement
These Terms with other policies
presented to you, constitute the entire agreement between you and us with
respect to the platform and its use and supersedes all prior agreements,
proposals, communications between the parties, and understandings, whether oral
or written.
(vii) Heading
The section headings herein this
Agreement are included for ease of reference and convenience only and shall not
be given any legal import nor shall it have any binding effect.
