PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING AND/OR USING THE APP.
Notably, these terms constitute a binding agreement and include a mandatory arbitration and class action/jury trial waiver provision that requires the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions, and limits the remedies available to you in the event of certain disputes.

Mandatory Arbitration.
In the event of any claim, controversy, or dispute under, or otherwise in connection with, this Agreement (a “Dispute”), such Dispute shall be resolved exclusively by arbitration in accordance with Schedule A attached hereto. However, if the Dispute is not subject to arbitration (either because you opted-out of arbitration in the manner described in Schedule A, or because a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the agreement to arbitrate does not apply to you or the Dispute), then the Dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the competent courts located in New York County, New York, and the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waive any jurisdictional, improper venue, inconvenient forum, or other objections to such jurisdiction and venue.
Regardless of any law to the contrary, you agree that any claim or cause of action arising under, or otherwise in connection with, this Agreement must be filed within ONE (1) YEAR after such claim or cause of action arises, or else you agree that such claim or cause of action will be forever barred. Moreover, if you are a consumer (as defined under the laws of your jurisdiction), this Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, exclude or limit any mandatory rights you may have under the consumer protection laws of your jurisdiction.
Governing Law and Disputes. To the maximum extent permitted by law, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws rules.
General. This Agreement, and any other legal notices published by us in connection with the App, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Snowpilot concerning the App. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any such legal notices, the terms of the applicable notice shall prevail with respect to the subject matter of such notice. No amendment to this Agreement will be binding unless in writing and signed by Snowpilot. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be severed from this Agreement, and the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and a party’s failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION THAT YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE APP MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

SCHEDULE A
Mandatory Arbitration
Snowpilot wants to address your concerns without the need for a formal legal dispute. Before filing a claim against Snowpilot, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting us at support@snowpilot.app. If a Dispute is not resolved within 30 days after the email noting the Dispute is sent, you may initiate proceedings, as set forth in this Schedule A.
You and Snowpilot agree that this agreement affects interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Schedule A shall be both substantively and procedurally governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
Unless you and Snowpilot expressly agree otherwise in writing, the arbitration shall take place in-person in New York, New York, except that if telephonic or other remote electronic means are available and permissible, then you may elect to conduct the arbitration via such means. You agree that: (a) any arbitration will occur in New York City, New York; (b) arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator 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; and (c) that the state or federal courts of the State of New York, have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award. The arbitrator must honor the terms and conditions of this agreement (including, but not limited to, all liability exclusions and limitations) and shall not make any award or decision that is contrary to, or in excess of, what this agreement provides.
The AAA Rules are available at https://www.adr.org/Rules or by contacting the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) at 1-800-778-7879. By agreeing to be bound by this agreement, you either: (a) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of AAA; or (b) waive your opportunity to read the rules of AAA and any claim that the rules of AAA are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
The arbitrator’s decision must be in writing and will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the award is based. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Snowpilot in any court in a proceeding to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND SNOWPILOT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the proceeding be resolved by a judge. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the plaintiff/claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the plaintiff’s/claimant’s individual claim.
Regardless of who initiates arbitration for a Dispute, you will always remain responsible for your costs relating to counsel, experts, witnesses, and travel to the arbitration. We will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration (unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous).
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the decision and award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain its confidentiality, unless (and in such cases, only to the extent) otherwise required by applicable law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court any information necessary to enforce an arbitration award or to seek equitable relief.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, EVEN IF ANYTHING IN THE AAA RULES PERMITS OTHERWISE AND EVEN IF YOU OPT-OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE:
- YOU AND SNOWPILOT ARE HEREBY EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE (FOR EXAMPLE, AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER) IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR OTHER CLASS-WIDE OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND THAT YOU MAY ONLY BRING A CLAIM IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY; AND
- NO ARBITRATION WILL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE ANY INDIVIDUAL PARTY’S DISPUTE WITH ANY OTHER PARTY’S DISPUTE.
OPT-OUT: You can choose to reject this agreement to arbitrate (“Opt-out”) by emailing support@snowpilot.app within thirty (30) days after the date you agree to this agreement for the first time. The Opt-out email you send to us must state that you do not agree to this agreement to arbitrate and must include your name, address, phone number, and email address. Providing an Opt-out notice is the only way you can opt-out of this agreement to arbitrate. If you Opt-out of this agreement to arbitrate, all other provisions of the Agreement will continue to apply, and you will not be permitted to invoke this agreement to arbitrate to resolve any Dispute with Snowpilot.
To the extent any provision of this Schedule A is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, you and Snowpilot agree that the provisions of Section 25 regarding severability shall apply.
