RazorAds shall submit it's service subscription charges according to the details of the products and services you've selected without further authorization from you, until you provide prior notice that you have terminated this authorization or wish to change your payment method. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before RazorAds reasonably could act.
In the event you cancel your service subscription, please note that we may still send you promotional communications about RazorAds, unless you opt out of receiving those communications by following the unsubscribe instructions provided therein.
7. Service Payments
RazorAds requires and collects pre-payment for the majority of its suite of services. By purchasing Services from RazorAds you agree to the timelines needed and required by RazorAds to deliver on such services, as determined by RazorAds.
In certain cases, and with larger contracted projects, RazorAds may choose to collect only a percentage of the total work order invoice payment before commencement of any work and collect the remaining balance of the work order invoice payment after completion of the entire project. Such cases, and the exact method and percentage of billing and payments required before and after completion of a project, is at the full discretion of RazorAds.
All prices are shown in U.S. dollars and applicable taxes and other charges, if any, are additional. We reserve the right to adjust prices as we may determine in our sole discretion, at any time and without notice.
8. Free Trials
From time to time, to the extent legally permitted, we may offer free trials of certain service subscriptions for specified periods of time without full payment. If we offer you a free trial, the specific terms of your free trial will be provided in the marketing materials describing the particular trial or at registration.
ONCE YOUR FREE TRIAL ENDS, WE (OR OUR THIRD PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSOR) WILL BEGIN BILLING YOUR DESIGNATED PAYMENT METHOD ON A RECURRING BASIS FOR YOUR SERVICE SUBSCRIPTION (PLUS ANY APPLICABLE TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES) FOR AS LONG AS YOUR SUBSCRIPTION CONTINUES, UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PRIOR TO THE END OF YOUR FREE TRIAL. INSTRUCTIONS FOR CANCELING YOUR SERVICE SUBSCRIPTION ARE DESCRIBED IN SECTIONS 5.1 ABOVE.

If the payment method cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, your Order and all relevant services may be suspended or cancelled. You must resolve any problem we encounter in order to proceed with your Order. In the event you want to change or update payment information associated with your RazorAds account, you can do so at any time by emailing support@razorads.com. You acknowledge that the amount billed may vary due to promotional offers, changes to your service subscription or changes in applicable taxes or other charges, and you authorize us (or our third party payment processor) to charge your payment method for the corresponding amount.
10. Refunds and Credits
Unless approved in writing by an RazorAds manager, there are no refunds, credits, or adjustments, of any kind, for any service subscription, service, product or other purchase. In the specific case of service subscriptions, regardless of whether the services provided in any service subscription are used or not, no service subscription is refundable, creditable or adjustment under any theory of service roll-over, unused credits, unused services or any other similar theories.
In certain cases, and only at the sole discretion of RazorAds, we will provide account credits and/or refunds to clients for any work RazorAds has agreed to service where such work has failed to meet the requirements and/or standards, as set and determined by RazorAds, and at least one re-attempt at remedy of the work service has also failed.

19. Dispute resolution; Arbitration
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH RAZORADS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.
19.1. Binding Arbitration
Except for any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands or proceedings (collectively, “Disputes”) in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, you and RazorAds agree (a) to waive your and RazorAds' respective rights to have any and all Disputes arising from or related to these Terms, or the Sites, Content, Services or Products, resolved in a court, and (b) to waive your and RazorAds' respective rights to a jury trial. Instead, you and RazorAds agree to arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).
19.2. No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions
You and RazorAds agree that any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Sites, Content or Services is personal to you and RazorAds and that such Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. You and RazorAds agree that there will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, you and RazorAds agree that a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.
19.3. Federal Arbitration Act
You and RazorAds agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 19 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.
19.4. Notice; Informal Dispute Resolution
You and RazorAds agree that each party will notify the other party in writing of any arbitrable or small claims Dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it arises, so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to RazorAds shall be sent by certified mail or courier to RazorAds, Attn: General Counsel, 1212 Broadway Plaza Suite 13, Walnut Creek, CA 94596. Your notice must include (a) your name, postal address, telephone number, the email address you use or used for your RazorAds account and, if different, an email address at which you can be contacted, (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (c) the specific relief that you are seeking. Our notice to you will be sent electronically and will include (x) our name, postal address, telephone number and an email address at which we can be contacted with respect to the Dispute, (y) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (z) the specific relief that we are seeking. If you and RazorAds cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the applicable party, then either you or RazorAds may, as appropriate and in accordance with this Section 19, commence an arbitration proceeding or, to the extent specifically provided for in Section 19.1, file a claim in court.
19.5. Process
Except for Disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, you and RazorAds agree that any Dispute must be commenced or filed by you or RazorAds within one (1) year of the date the Dispute arose, otherwise the underlying claim is permanently barred (which means that you and RazorAds will no longer have the right to assert such claim regarding the Dispute). You and RazorAds agree that (a) any arbitration will occur in the State of California, County of Contra Costa, (b) arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are hereby incorporated by reference, and (c) that the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States, respectively, sitting in the State of California, County of Contra Costa, have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
19.3.6. Authority of Arbitrator
As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
19.3.7. Rules of JAMS
The rules of JAMS and additional information about JAMS are available on the JAMS website. By agreeing to be bound by these Terms, you either (a) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS, or (b) waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
19.3.8. Severability
If any term, clause or provision of this Section 19 is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law, and all other terms, clauses and provisions of this Section 19 will remain valid and enforceable. Further, the waivers set forth in Section 19.2. are severable from the other provisions of these Terms and will remain valid and enforceable, except as prohibited by applicable law.
19.3.9. Opt-Out Right
You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 19 by writing to: RazorAds, Attn: General Counsel, 1212 Broadway Plaza, Suite 13, Walnut Creek, CA 94596. In order to be effective, the opt out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve any Disputes directly with RazorAds outside of any court of jurisdiction.
20. No Waiver of Rights
The failure of RazorAds to partially or fully exercise any rights or the waiver of RazorAds of any breach of these terms of service by you shall not prevent a subsequent exercise of such right by RazorAds or be deemed a waiver by RazorAds of any subsequent breach by you of the same or any other term of these Terms. The rights and remedies of RazorAds under these Terms and any other applicable agreement between you and RazorAds shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any such right or remedy shall not limit RazorAds' right to exercise any other right or remedy.
21. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms, your access to and use of the Sites and your order, receipt and use of the Products and Services shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any Dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court, shall be resolved in the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States, respectively, sitting in the State of California, County of Contra Costa.
22. Termination
Notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms, we reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your right to access or use the Sites and to order, receive and use the Services, at any time and for any or no reason, and you acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability or obligation to you in such event and that you will not be entitled to a refund of any amounts that you have already paid to us, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
23. Severability
If any part of these Terms shall be held or declared to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective but shall not affect any other part of these Terms, and in such event, such provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision within the limits of applicable law or applicable court decisions.
24. Survival
All sections of these Terms that extend beyond any expiration or termination of these Terms, shall survive the expiration or termination of these Terms and the termination of your RazorAds account.
25. Successors and Assigns
The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Parties.
26. Non-Solicitation

27. Assignment
RazorAds may at any time assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole, or in part, to any corporation or other entity with or into which RazorAds may hereafter merge or consolidate or to which the RazorAds may transfer all or some of its assets.

In certain cases, and with larger contracted projects, RazorAds may choose to collect only a percentage of the total work order invoice payment before commencement of any work and collect the remaining balance of the work order invoice payment after completion of the entire project. Such cases, and the exact method and percentage of billing and payments required before and after completion of a project, is at the full discretion of RazorAds.
All prices are shown in U.S. dollars and applicable taxes and other charges, if any, are additional. We reserve the right to adjust prices as we may determine in our sole discretion, at any time and without notice.

19. Dispute resolution; Arbitration
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH RAZORADS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.
19.1. Binding Arbitration
Except for any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands or proceedings (collectively, “Disputes”) in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, you and RazorAds agree (a) to waive your and RazorAds' respective rights to have any and all Disputes arising from or related to these Terms, or the Sites, Content, Services or Products, resolved in a court, and (b) to waive your and RazorAds' respective rights to a jury trial. Instead, you and RazorAds agree to arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).
19.2. No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions
You and RazorAds agree that any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Sites, Content or Services is personal to you and RazorAds and that such Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. You and RazorAds agree that there will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, you and RazorAds agree that a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.
19.3. Federal Arbitration Act
You and RazorAds agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 19 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.
19.4. Notice; Informal Dispute Resolution
You and RazorAds agree that each party will notify the other party in writing of any arbitrable or small claims Dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it arises, so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to RazorAds shall be sent by certified mail or courier to RazorAds, Attn: General Counsel, 1212 Broadway Plaza Suite 13, Walnut Creek, CA 94596. Your notice must include (a) your name, postal address, telephone number, the email address you use or used for your RazorAds account and, if different, an email address at which you can be contacted, (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (c) the specific relief that you are seeking. Our notice to you will be sent electronically and will include (x) our name, postal address, telephone number and an email address at which we can be contacted with respect to the Dispute, (y) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (z) the specific relief that we are seeking. If you and RazorAds cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the applicable party, then either you or RazorAds may, as appropriate and in accordance with this Section 19, commence an arbitration proceeding or, to the extent specifically provided for in Section 19.1, file a claim in court.
19.5. Process
Except for Disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, you and RazorAds agree that any Dispute must be commenced or filed by you or RazorAds within one (1) year of the date the Dispute arose, otherwise the underlying claim is permanently barred (which means that you and RazorAds will no longer have the right to assert such claim regarding the Dispute). You and RazorAds agree that (a) any arbitration will occur in the State of California, County of Contra Costa, (b) arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are hereby incorporated by reference, and (c) that the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States, respectively, sitting in the State of California, County of Contra Costa, have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
19.3.6. Authority of Arbitrator
As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
19.3.7. Rules of JAMS
The rules of JAMS and additional information about JAMS are available on the JAMS website. By agreeing to be bound by these Terms, you either (a) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS, or (b) waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
19.3.8. Severability
If any term, clause or provision of this Section 19 is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law, and all other terms, clauses and provisions of this Section 19 will remain valid and enforceable. Further, the waivers set forth in Section 19.2. are severable from the other provisions of these Terms and will remain valid and enforceable, except as prohibited by applicable law.
19.3.9. Opt-Out Right
You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 19 by writing to: RazorAds, Attn: General Counsel, 1212 Broadway Plaza, Suite 13, Walnut Creek, CA 94596. In order to be effective, the opt out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve any Disputes directly with RazorAds outside of any court of jurisdiction.
20. No Waiver of Rights
The failure of RazorAds to partially or fully exercise any rights or the waiver of RazorAds of any breach of these terms of service by you shall not prevent a subsequent exercise of such right by RazorAds or be deemed a waiver by RazorAds of any subsequent breach by you of the same or any other term of these Terms. The rights and remedies of RazorAds under these Terms and any other applicable agreement between you and RazorAds shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any such right or remedy shall not limit RazorAds' right to exercise any other right or remedy.
21. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms, your access to and use of the Sites and your order, receipt and use of the Products and Services shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any Dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court, shall be resolved in the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States, respectively, sitting in the State of California, County of Contra Costa.
22. Termination
Notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms, we reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your right to access or use the Sites and to order, receive and use the Services, at any time and for any or no reason, and you acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability or obligation to you in such event and that you will not be entitled to a refund of any amounts that you have already paid to us, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
23. Severability
If any part of these Terms shall be held or declared to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective but shall not affect any other part of these Terms, and in such event, such provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision within the limits of applicable law or applicable court decisions.
24. Survival
All sections of these Terms that extend beyond any expiration or termination of these Terms, shall survive the expiration or termination of these Terms and the termination of your RazorAds account.
25. Successors and Assigns
The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Parties.

27. Assignment
RazorAds may at any time assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole, or in part, to any corporation or other entity with or into which RazorAds may hereafter merge or consolidate or to which the RazorAds may transfer all or some of its assets.
