JOYRIDE AND ITS LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SATISFACTORY PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
JOYRIDE AND ITS LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS DO NOT WARRANT OR MAKE ANY GUARANTEE THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED OR THAT THE JOYRIDE SERVICES (OR ANY PART THEREOF), THE CONTENT, OR ANY OTHER MATERIALS OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY JOYRIDE: (A) WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS; (B) WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR HOME NETWORK, COMPUTER OR MOBILE DEVICE, OR ANY THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY THIRD PARTY SERVICE AND/OR THIRD PARTY SITES); (C) WILL BE AVAILABLE ON AN UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE BASIS; OR (D) WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM JOYRIDE, ANY THIRD PARTY, OR THROUGH THE JOYRIDE SERVICES, SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY. - LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

JOYRIDE DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY OF ANY KIND OF JOYRIDE’S AFFILIATES, LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS.
- APPLICATION OF LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS TO CONSUMERS. Certain states and/or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages with respect to consumers (i.e., a person acquiring goods otherwise than in the course of a business), so the disclaimers, exclusions and limitations set forth in Sections 13 and 14 above may not apply to you if you are a consumer. The limitations or exclusions of warranties and liability contained in these Terms do not affect or prejudice the statutory rights of a consumer. The limitations or exclusions of warranties and remedies contained in these Terms shall apply to you as a consumer only to the extent such limitations or exclusions and remedies are permitted under the laws of the jurisdiction where you are located.
- BASIS OF THE BARGAIN. The warranty disclaimer and limitation of liability set forth above in Section 13 and 14 are fundamental elements of the basis of the agreement between Joyride and you. Joyride would not be able to provide the Joyride Services on an economic basis without such limitations. The warranty disclaimer and limitation of liability inure to the benefit of Joyride’s suppliers.
- AVAILABILITY OF THE JOYRIDE SERVICES. Information describing the Joyride Services is accessible worldwide but this does not mean the Joyride Services, or certain portions thereof, are available in your country. Joyride may restrict access to the Joyride Services, or portions thereof, in certain countries in its sole discretion. It is your responsibility to make sure your use of the Joyride Services is legal in your country of residence. The Joyride Services may not be available or accessible in all languages.
- THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.
- 18.1 Third Party Rights.You acknowledge and agree that certain distributors (such as app store providers) are intended beneficiaries of these Terms and have the right to enforce these Terms directly against you. Other than as set out in this Section 18, these Terms are not intended to grant rights to anyone except you and Joyride, and in no event shall these Terms create any third party beneficiary rights. Furthermore, the rights to terminate, rescind, or agree to any variation, waiver, or settlement of these Terms are not subject to the consent of any other person.
- 18.2 iOS App. The following additional terms and conditions apply with respect to any Joyride Apps provided or made available to you by Joyride hereunder designed for use on an Apple iOS-powered mobile device (an "iOS App"): You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Joyride only, and not with Apple, Inc. ("Apple"). Your use of the iOS App must comply with Apple’s then-current App Store Terms of Service. Joyride, and not Apple, is solely responsible for the iOS App and related content available thereon. You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance and support services with respect to the iOS App. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the iOS App. You agree that Joyride, and not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you relating to the iOS App or your possession and/or use of the iOS App, including, but not limited to: (a) product liability claims; (b) any claim that the iOS App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (c) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation, and all such claims are governed solely by these Terms and any law applicable to Joyride as the provider of the iOS App. You agree that Joyride, and not Apple, shall be responsible, to the extent required by these Terms, for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any third-party intellectual property infringement claim related to the iOS App or your possession and use of the iOS App. You represent and warrant that you: (i) 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) are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You agree to comply with all applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the iOS App (e.g., you must not be in violation of its wireless data service terms of agreement when using the iOS App). The parties agree that Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries to these Terms as it relates to the license granted herein to you to use the iOS App. Upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as they relate to the license granted herein to you to use the iOS App as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
- GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
- 19.1 Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed in all respects by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods in its entirety is expressly excluded from these Terms, including, without limitation, application to the Platform and Joyride Apps. Furthermore, these Terms (including without limitation, the Platform and/or Joyride Apps) will not be governed or interpreted in any way by referring to any law based on the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) or any other act derived from or related to UCITA.
- 19.2 Disputes. Except as otherwise set forth in these Terms, you agree that any dispute between you and Joyride arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Joyride Services, Content, and/or any services provided by Joyride hereunder (or any part thereof) (collectively, "Disputes") shall be governed by the provisions set forth in this Section.
- 19.3 Notice of Disputes. A party who intends to seek arbitration or bring other action permitted under this Section 19, must first send a written notice of the Dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail ("Dispute Notice"). Joyride’s address for Dispute Notice is: Joyride Games, Inc., Attention: Notice of Dispute, 3790 El Camino Real No 1111, Palo Alto, CA 94306. The Dispute Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought.
- 19.4 Informal Resolution. You and Joyride agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Dispute Notice is received, you or Joyride may commence an arbitration proceeding or other permitted action, as set forth in this Section 19.
- 19.5 Agreement to Arbitrate. In the interest of resolving Disputes between you and Joyride in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, and except as described in Section 19.8, you and Joyride agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding individual (not class) arbitration (the "Agreement to Arbitrate"). Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This Agreement to Arbitrate includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE MEANS YOU AND JOYRIDE WAIVE YOUR/ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED.
- 19.6 Opting-Out of Arbitration. If you do not wish to resolve Disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate within 30 days after the date that you first agree to these Terms by sending a letter to Joyride Games, Inc., Attention: Arbitration Opt-Out, 3790 El Camino Real No 1111, Palo Alto, CA 94306, that specifies: your full legal name, the email address used to register an Account (if applicable), and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration ("Opt-Out Notice"). Once Joyride receives your Opt-Out Notice, the Agreement to Arbitrate will be void and the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 19.10 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms. The remaining provisions of this Section 19 will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
- 19.7 Arbitration. Any Disputes between you and Joyride that cannot be resolved through informal resolution in accordance with Section 19.4 above shall be resolved exclusively through final, binding and confidential arbitration and administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services ("JAMS") under its Rules of Arbitration then in effect (the "Rules") as modified by this Section 19.7. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, arbitration will be held in San Francisco, California before a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, or if the parties cannot mutually agree, a single arbitrator appointed by JAMS. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, to the extent feasible, the parties agree to have parties and witnesses participate by video conference, telephone conference, or other telecommunication means. The arbitration must commence within forty-five (45) days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by either party. The arbitrator's decision and award will be made and delivered within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of the arbitration and within six (6) months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator will not have the power to award damages in excess of the limitation on actual compensatory, direct damages set forth in these Terms and may not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages that are specifically excluded under these Terms, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages. The arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, assess costs and expenses (including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing part) against any party to a proceeding. Any party refusing to comply with an order of the arbitrators will be liable for costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by the other party in enforcing the award. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. Any judgment on the arbitrator’s rendered award may be entered in any court with competent jurisdiction. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. The Agreement to Arbitrate and this arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
- 19.8 Exception to Arbitration. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms to the contrary to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate any of Joyride’s intellectual property rights, Joyride may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court with competent jurisdiction in any country, including in the State of California, United States of America, without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute process set forth in this Section, and you hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction and exclusive venue in such courts. In addition, despite the Agreement to Arbitrate, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; or (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration.
- 19.9 No Class Actions. YOU MAY ONLY RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH JOYRIDE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND MAY NOT BRING A CLAIM AS A PLAINTIFF OR A CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS AREN'T ALLOWED UNDER THESE TERMS.
- 19.10 Enforceability; Venue. If the Agreement to Arbitrate is found not to apply to your or our claim, you and Joyride agree that any judicial proceeding will be brought in the federal or state courts located in San Francisco County, California. Both you and Joyride consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there.
- 19.11 Time Limitation to Bring Claims. Notwithstanding any statute or law to the contrary, you expressly acknowledge and agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of Joyride Services (or any part thereof) or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, otherwise that claim or cause of action will be barred forever.
- COMMERCIAL ITEMS. The Joyride Apps, Platform, and any related end user documentation are "Commercial Items", as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. §2.101, consisting of "Commercial Computer Software" and "Commercial Computer Software Documentation", as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. §12.212 or 48 C.F.R. §227.7202, as applicable. Consistent with 48 C.F.R. §12.212 or 48 C.F.R. §227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, as applicable, the Commercial Computer Software and Commercial Computer Software Documentation will be licensed to U.S. Government end users (a) only as Commercial Items and (b) with only those rights as are granted to all other end users pursuant to these Terms.
- GENERAL. Neither the rights nor the obligations arising under these Terms are assignable by you, and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void and without effect. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms must be in writing and executed by both parties. The failure of either party to exercise any right provided for by these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of that right. If any term or provision of these Terms is determined to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid in whole or in part for any reason, that provision shall be stricken from these Terms and shall not affect the legality, enforceability or validity of the remainder of the provisions set forth in these Terms. The parties acknowledge and agree that they are dealing with each other as independent contractors and nothing in these Terms and/or its performance shall be construed as creating a joint venture or agency between Joyride and you. Joyride may delegate the performance of any services hereunder to its affiliates and contractors. These Terms, the Privacy Notice any Additional Terms, including, without limitation, the Content Standards and Community Guidelines and Joyride Contest Rules, and any other policies or terms and condition referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter, and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements or communications with regard to the subject matter described. Any notice to you may be provided by email. The headings of Sections of these Terms are for convenience and are not to be used in interpreting these Terms. As used in these Terms, the word “including” means “including but not limited to.” You agree that these Terms will not be construed against Joyride by virtue of having drafted them. The official text of these Terms (and any notice submitted hereunder) will be in English. The parties acknowledge that they require that these Terms be drawn up in the English language only. In the event of any dispute concerning the construction or meaning of these Terms, reference will be made only to these Terms as written in English and not to any translation into another language. Any delay in performance of any duties or obligations of either party will not be considered a breach of these Terms if such delay is caused by a labor dispute, shortage of materials, fire, earthquake, flood, telecommunications or Internet failure, plague, epidemic, pandemic, outbreaks of infectious disease or any other public health crisis, including quarantine or other employee restrictions, or any other event beyond the reasonable control of such party.
