13.1 Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SATURDAYNYC AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES.

This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from SaturdayNYC Company's own unlawful conduct.


14. Dispute Resolution: Binding Arbitration and Class-Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A DISPUTE HEARD IN COURT.

14.1 Informal Resolution

Before starting arbitration, you and SaturdayNYC Company agree to try to resolve a dispute informally for 30 days. Send a written notice describing the dispute and requested relief to [email protected]. We will send notices to the email associated with your account. This requirement does not prevent either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief where appropriate.

14.2 Agreement to Arbitrate

Except for the matters described in Section 14.5, you and SaturdayNYC Company agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (a "Dispute") will be resolved by binding individual arbitration rather than in court.

14.3 Arbitration Rules and Location

Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 14. Unless the parties agree otherwise, arbitration will take place remotely, where required by the applicable rules, or in Delaware. The arbitrator may award the same individual remedies a court could award and will issue a reasoned written decision. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

14.4 Class-Action Waiver

YOU AND SATURDAYNYC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both parties agree, the arbitrator may not combine more than one person's claims or preside over a representative proceeding.

14.5 Exceptions

Either party may bring an eligible individual claim in small-claims court. Either party may also seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual-property rights.

14.6 30-Day Right to Opt Out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing [email protected] within 30 days after you first accept these Terms. Include your name, the email associated with your finds account, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms.

If you properly opt out, or if a Dispute is not subject to arbitration, you and SaturdayNYC Company consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware, except where applicable law does not permit that jurisdiction or venue.

14.7 Severability

If the class-action waiver in Section 14.4 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request will be severed and decided by a court after all arbitrable claims are resolved. If another part of this Section 14 is found unenforceable, it will be severed and the remainder will remain in effect.


15. General Terms

15.1 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs Section 14. Mandatory consumer protections in your place of residence continue to apply where they cannot lawfully be waived.

15.2 Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service changes. If a change materially affects your rights, we will provide reasonable advance notice through the Service, by email, or by another appropriate method. Unless we say otherwise, updated Terms take effect on the stated effective date. Your continued use after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

15.3 Entire Agreement

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and SaturdayNYC Company regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements about the Service.

15.4 Severability and Waiver

If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.

15.5 Assignment

You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, corporate reorganization, sale of assets, or by operation of law.

15.6 Force Majeure

We are not liable for a delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, labor disputes, internet or utility failures, government actions, war, terrorism, epidemics, or failures of third-party services.
