All orders are subject to our acceptance or rejection based on availability, noncompliance with these Terms or any other reason as determined in our sole discretion. For instance, if we have reason to believe that your order is not for personal use, we reserve the right to reject or cancel any order that you place. We also reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to take steps to verify your identity to process your order. We will either not charge you or refund the charges for orders that we cancel or do not process.

10. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Dance Church and our officers, directors, agents, partners and employees (individually and collectively, the “Dance Church Parties”) from and against any losses, liabilities, claims, demands, damages, expenses or costs (“Claims”) arising out of or related to (a) your access to or use of the Services; (b) your Feedback; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation, misappropriation or infringement of any rights of another (including intellectual property rights or privacy rights); or (e) your conduct in connection with the Services.

You also agree that the Dance Church Parties will have control of the defense or settlement, at Dance Church’s sole option, of any third-party Claims. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written agreement between you and Dance Church or the other Dance Church Parties.

11. Disclaimers
Your use of our Services is at your sole risk. Except as otherwise provided in a writing by us, our Services and any content therein are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. In addition, Dance Church does not represent or warrant that our Services are accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. While Dance Church attempts to make your use of our Services and any content therein safe for you to access, we cannot and do not represent or warrant that our Services or servers are free of viruses or other harmful components. You assume the entire risk as to the quality and performance of the Services.

The Services do not determine whether you are physically or medically able to safely use the Dance Church Content. Consult your doctor to assess your health before engaging in strenuous physical activity. This is particularly important if you are overweight, pregnant, nursing, taking regular medications or have any existing medical or health conditions. If you experience a medical emergency while using the Dance Church Content, immediately stop using the Dance Church Content and consult with a medical professional.

12. Limitation of Liability
(a)   To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Dance Church and the other Dance Church Parties will not be liable to you under any theory of liability—whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, warranty, or otherwise—for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, punitive or special damages or lost profits, even if Dance Church or the other Dance Church Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

 (b)  The total liability of Dance Church and the other Dance Church Parties for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services, regardless of the form of the action, is limited to the greater of $100 or the amount paid by you to use our Services in the 12 months preceding the event that gave rise to the claim.

(c)   The limitations set forth in this Section 12 will not limit or exclude liability for the gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct of Dance Church or the other Dance Church Parties or for any other matters in which liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Additionally, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

13. Transfer and Processing Data
In order for us to provide our Services, you agree that we may process, transfer and store information about you in the United States and other countries, where you may not have the same rights and protections as you do under local law.

14. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Dance Church and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us, unless you opt out of arbitration by following the instructions set forth below. No class or representative actions or arbitrations are allowed under this arbitration provision. In addition, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or having a jury trial.

(a)   No Representative Actions. You and Dance Church agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and Dance Church and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.

(b)  Arbitration of Disputes. Except for small claims disputes in which you or Dance Church seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or Dance Church seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property, you and Dance Church waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any other dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services, including claims related to privacy and data security, (collectively, “Disputes”) resolved in court. Instead, for any Dispute that you have against Dance Church you agree to first contact Dance Church and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) to Dance Church by email at [email protected] or by certified mail addressed to 1122 East Pike Street #1225 Seattle, WA 98122. The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above. If you and Dance Church cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the Dispute to binding arbitration administered by JAMS or, under the limited circumstances set forth above, in court. All Disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration. Arbitration proceedings will be held in King County, Washington unless you are a consumer, in which case you may elect to hold the arbitration in your county of residence. For purposes of this Section 14, a “consumer” means a person using the Services for personal, family or household purposes.  You and Dance Church agree that Disputes will be held in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”). The most recent version of the JAMS Rules are available on the JAMS website and are hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

(c)   You and Dance Church agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 14 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any Dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. The arbitrator may conduct only 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.

(d)  The arbitration will allow for the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute.  The arbitrator, Dance Church, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the Dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision. 

(e)   You and Dance Church agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee (up to a maximum of $250 if you are a consumer), and Dance Church will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Dance Church, Dance Church will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and Dance Church agree that the state or federal courts of the State of Washington and the United States sitting in King Country, Washington have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.

(f)    Any Dispute must be filed within one year after the relevant claim arose; otherwise, the Dispute is permanently barred, which means that you and Dance Church will not have the right to assert the claim.

(g)   You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 14 by sending your notice of opting out by email to [email protected]. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 14.

(h)  If any portion of this Section 14 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 14 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 14; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 14 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 14 will be enforceable.

15. Governing Law and Venue
Any dispute arising from these Terms and your use of the Services will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Washington, except to the extent preempted by U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of Washington 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 will be resolved in the state or federal courts of Washington and the United States, respectively, sitting in King Country, Washington.

16. Modifying and Terminating our Services
We reserve the right to modify our Services or to suspend or stop providing all or portions of our Services at any time. You also have the right to stop using our Services at any time. We are not responsible for any loss or harm related to your inability to access or use our Services.

17. Amendments
We may make changes to these Terms from time to time. If we make changes, we will provide you with notice of such changes, such as by sending an email, providing a notice through our Services or updating the date at the top of these Terms. Unless we say otherwise in our notice, the amended Terms will be effective immediately, and your continued use of our Services after we provide such notice will confirm your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you must stop using our Services.

18. Severability
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

19. Miscellaneous
(a)  The failure of Dance Church to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Terms reflect the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, representations, statements and understandings of the parties. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.  Use of the word “including” will be interpreted to mean “including without limitation.” Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity. You agree that communications and transactions between us may be conducted electronically.

(b)   By providing your mobile device number to Dance Church, you agree to receive non-marketing text messages from us. Additionally, if you have provided prior express written consent, we may also send marketing communications to you by text message. Message frequency will vary. Dance Church reserves the right to alter the frequency of messages sent at any time, so as to increase or decrease the total number of sent messages. Dance Church also reserves the right to change the short code or phone number from which messages are sent.  Consent to receive automated marketing text messages is not a condition of any purchase.

Standard text message rates will apply to all such communications, and you are responsible for all such fees. Dance Church and our service providers and mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. You can stop receiving text messages from Dance Church at any time. Just text the keyword "STOP" to our short code. After texting “STOP” to our short code, we may send you a text message to confirm that your request has been processed. You acknowledge that our text message platform may not recognize and respond to unsubscribe requests that do not include the “STOP” keyword command and agree that Dance Church and our service providers will have no liability for failing to honor such requests. If at any time you forget what keywords are supported, just text “HELP” to our short code. After you text “HELP” to our short code, we will respond with our customer care information.

(c)  Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California consumers are entitled to the following specific consumer rights notice: The Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs may be contacted in writing at 1625 N. Market Blvd., Suite N-112, Sacramento, California 95834, or by telephone at 1 (800) 952-5210.
