9. Arbitration

Please read this section (“Arbitration Clause”) carefully. It is part of your agreement with FoodIQ and affects your rights.

THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Clause. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and FoodIQ in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND FoodIQ WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.

 

The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision; the arbitrator shall apply Delaware law to all other matters. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues related to scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any party to the arbitration may at any time seek injunctions or other forms of equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to the Company should be sent to: FoodIQ, info@foodiq.app. After the Notice is received, you and FoodIQ may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and FoodIQ do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding.

 

Arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) before a single AAA arbitrator under the AAA’s rules, which are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees and costs will be governed by the AAA's rules. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and not appealable, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This Arbitration Clause shall survive expiration, termination, or rescission of this Agreement.

 

 

10. Indemnification

You will indemnify and hold harmless FoodIQ and its officers, directors, agents, partners, employees, licensors, distributors, representatives, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, losses, damages, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or relating to your access and/or use of or interaction with the Third-Party Content, or any act, error, or omission of your use of your account or any user of your account, in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, matters relating to incorrect, incomplete, or misleading information; libel; invasion of privacy; infringement of a copyright, trade name, trademark, service mark, or other intellectual property; any defective product or any injury or damage to person or property caused by any products sold or otherwise distributed through or in connection with the Service; or violation of any applicable law.

 

 

11. Service Fees

Certain features of the Service may be provided without charge (for free). These features may not always be offered for free. Premium features may additionally be offered on a fee-for-service basis, or with a paid subscription, subject to additional Terms and Conditions which will be posted in connection with such features. Fees and rates are subject to change without notice. As the Beta Program evolves, FoodIQ reserves the right to add Terms and Conditions related to payment for services, cancellation of payment, trial periods, referral programs, and other bonuses.

 

 

12. Termination

You agree that, without notice, FoodIQ may terminate these Terms and Conditions, or suspend your access to the Service or the Third-Party Content, with or without cause at any time and effective immediately. These Terms and Conditions will terminate immediately without notice from FoodIQ if you, in FoodIQ’s sole determination, fail to comply with any provision of these Terms and Conditions. FoodIQ shall not be liable to you or any third party for the termination or suspension of the Service or the Content, or any claims related to such termination or suspension. FoodIQ may discontinue or modify the Third-Party Content, or any portion thereof, at any time. You release and agree to indemnify and hold harmless FoodIQ for any loss or damages arising from or relating to such discontinuation or modification.

 

 

13. Applicable Law and Venue

You agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. To the extent allowable, beyond the arbitration clause below, any legal action or proceeding arising under this Agreement will be brought exclusively in courts located in Wilmington, Delaware, and you irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue therein. 

 

 

14. Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from every other provision of the Agreement, and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

 

 

15. Revisions to these Terms and Conditions

FoodIQ may at any time revise these Terms and Conditions by updating this Agreement. You agree to be bound by subsequent revisions and agree to review these Terms and Conditions periodically for changes. The most updated version of this document will be available for your review under the “Terms of Service” link that appears on FoodIQ’s website.
