CHANGES

We may alter the Materials we offer and/or may choose to modify, suspend or discontinue any part of or all of the Platform at any time. We may also change, update, add or remove provisions of these Terms from time to time. We will inform you of any modifications to these Terms by posting them on the Website and, if you have registered with us, by describing the modifications to these Terms in an email that we will send to the email address associated with your account.

If we make any material modifications to the Materials or our Service or our price for any of our Materials or Service, we will notify you by email at least 30 days before such change takes effect.[RB1]  If you object to any such modifications, your sole recourse shall be to cease using the Platform and, if you have a subscription with Magnifi U, cancelling that subscription by logging into your account and following the instructions for cancellation on the user dashboard within 30 days of your receipt of our notice of changes. Continued use of the Platform following notice of any such modifications indicates you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the modifications. Also, please know that these Terms may be superseded by expressly-designated legal notices or terms applicable to certain Services on the Platform or on the sites of our partners. Such expressly-designated legal notices or terms are incorporated into these Terms and supersede the provision(s) of these Terms that are designated as being superseded.

ACCESS AND USE OF THE PLATFORM

No one under 13 is allowed to create an account or use the Platform.  By using the Platform, you agree that you are at least 18 years of age or, if you are under 18 years of age (a “Minor”), that you are using the Platform with the consent of your parent or legal guardian and you have received your parent’s or legal guardian’s permission to use the Platform and agree to these Terms. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a Minor, you agree to bind the Minor to these Terms and to fully indemnify and hold us harmless if the Minor breaches any of these Terms.

If you are using the Platform on behalf of a business or some other entity, you represent that you are authorized to bind that business or entity to these Terms and you agree to these Terms on behalf of that business or entity (and all references to “you” and “your” in these Terms will mean both you as the end user and that business or entity.).

Subject to compliance with these Terms, we are granting you a limited, personal, non-exclusive and non- transferable license to access the Website, use the Services, and display the Materials; your right to use the Materials is conditioned on your compliance with these Terms. You have no other rights in the Website, Services or any Materials and you may not modify, edit, copy, reproduce, create derivative works of, reverse engineer, alter, enhance or in any way exploit the Website, the Services or any of the Materials in any manner. If you make copies of any of the Materials then you must keep on the copies all of our copyright and other proprietary notices as they appear on the Website. You may not distribute, license, lease, resell, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, stream, broadcast, or otherwise exploit the Materials or the Services except as expressly permitted by Magnifi U.

Unfortunately, if you breach any of these Terms, the above license will terminate automatically and you must immediately destroy any downloaded or printed Materials (and any copies thereof).

We reserve the right to revoke any license to access and use any Materials available on the Platform at any time if we in our sole discretion decide, or are obligated to, disable access to the Materials for any reason, such as, if a course or other content in which you are enrolled in is the subject of a copyright complaint. 

Using Magnifi U Professional at Your Own Risk

Although we reserve the right to review or remove any content that appears on the Platform, our platform model means we do not review or edit the content for legal issues, and we are not in a position to determine the legality of content. We do not exercise any editorial control over the content that is available on the platform and, as such, do not guarantee in any manner the reliability, validity, accuracy, or truthfulness of the content. If you access content, you rely on any information provided by an instructor at your own risk.

By using the Services, you may be exposed to content that you consider offensive, indecent, or objectionable. Magnifi U Professional has no responsibility to keep such content from you and no liability for your access or enrollment in any course or other content, to the extent permissible under applicable law. This also applies to any content relating to health, wellness, and physical exercise. You acknowledge the inherent risks and dangers in the strenuous nature of these types of content, and by accessing such content you choose to assume those risks voluntarily, including risk of illness, bodily injury, disability, or death. You assume full responsibility for the choices you make before, during, and after your access to the content.

When you use our Services, you will find links to other websites that we don’t own or control. We are not responsible for the content or any other aspect of these third-party sites, including their collection of information about you. You should also read their terms and conditions and privacy policies.

FEES AND PAYMENT

You agree to pay all fees applicable to your use of the Platform using one of the payment methods we support. Except as otherwise specified in these Terms (a) fees are quoted and payable in United States dollars, (b) fees are based on services purchased, regardless of actual usage, and (c) payment obligations are non- cancelable and non-pro-ratable, and fees paid are non-refundable, except as expressly described below.

We occasionally run promotions and sales for our content, during which certain content is available at discounted prices for a set period of time. The price applicable to the content will be the price at the time you complete your purchase of the content (at checkout). Any price offered for particular content may also be different when you are logged into your account from the price available to users who aren’t registered or logged in, because some of our promotions are available only to new users.

If you elect to purchase a paid course from the Platform, we or our third- party payment processor will charge your payment method (credit or debit card) on the date that you purchase. By providing a payment method, you expressly authorize Magnifi U and/or our third-party payment processor to charge the applicable fees to said payment method. You agree that we may invoice you for any unpaid fees, including without limitation any amounts owed by you that cannot be processed. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to us and notifying us of any changes to such information.

REFUNDS

If the content you purchased is not what you were expecting, you can request, within 3 days of your purchase of the content, that Magnifi U apply a refund to your account. We reserve the right to apply your refund as a refund credit or a refund to your original payment method, at our discretion, depending on capabilities of our payment service providers, the platform from which you purchased your content (website or mobile app), and other factors. No refund is due to you if you request it after the 3-day guarantee time limit has passed. However, if the content you previously purchased is disabled for legal or policy reasons, you may be entitled to a refund beyond this 3-day limit. Magnifi U also reserves the right to refund students beyond the 3-day limit in cases of suspected or confirmed account fraud. To request a refund, please contact us.

At our discretion, if we believe you are abusing our refund policy, such as if you’ve consumed a significant portion of the content that you want to refund or if you’ve previously refunded the content, we reserve the right to deny your refund, restrict you from other future refunds, ban your account, and/or restrict all future use of the Services. 

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

By using the Platform (or any part thereof), you consent to being called by us and to receiving electronic communications  from us (including, if you have opted in, telemarketing or advertising communications, via phone or text message) and from other users of the Services. These electronic communications may include notices about applicable fees and charges, transactional information and other information concerning or related to the Platform. These electronic communications are part of your relationship with us. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures or other communications that we send you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing.  Standard carrier data charges may apply to your use of text messaging and you are solely responsible for such charges. If you have opted in to receiving telemarketing or advertising communications via phone or text message, you understand that calls and/or text messages made or sent for advertising purposes may be generated using prerecorded messages or artificial voice, and calls and messages may be delivered using an auto telephone dialing system or an automatic texting system.

UNAUTHORIZED ACTIVITIES

We authorize your use of the Platform only for individual, consumer purposes (“Permitted Purposes”).

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

The trademarks, service marks, and logos of Magnifi U (“Our Trademarks”) used and displayed on various parts of the Platform are registered and unregistered trademarks or service marks of Magnifi U. Other company, product, and service names located on the Platform may be trademarks or service marks owned by others (the “Third-Party Trademarks”, and, collectively with Our Trademarks, the “Trademarks”). Nothing in these Terms should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use the Trademarks, without our prior written permission specific for each such use.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT

We respect the intellectual property rights of others and encourage you to do the same. Accordingly, we have a policy of removing User Submissions that violate intellectual property rights of others, suspending access to the Platform (or any portion thereof) to any user who uses the Platform in violation of another’s intellectual property rights, and/or terminating in appropriate circumstances, as determined in our sole discretion, the account of any user who uses the Platform in violation of another’s intellectual property rights.

We honor copyright laws, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and take reasonable steps to expeditiously remove from the Platform any infringing material that we be become aware of. If we become aware that a user has repeatedly infringed copyrights, we will take reasonable steps within our power to terminate the user’s account.  We have implemented procedures for receiving written notification of claimed copyright infringement and for processing such claims under applicable law. If you believe that anything on the Platform infringes a copyright or other intellectual property that you own or control, please provide written notice to our designated agent for notice of claims of infringement:

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER 

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE THAT YOU AND MAGNIFI U AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION.

These Terms contain an Arbitration Agreement (“the Arbitration Agreement”) and provide that all Disputes (as defined below) between you and Magnifi U shall be resolved on an individual basis by binding arbitration. Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution and replaces the right to go to court. In the absence of this arbitration agreement, you may

otherwise have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). Except as otherwise provided, your use of the Platform, the Services, or the Mobile Applications and your agreement to these Terms constitutes a waiver of your right to litigate claims in court and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow these Terms and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees).

For purposes of this Provision, “Magnifi U” means Magnifi U, Inc. and its parents, subsidiaries, and affiliate companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents.

The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Magnifi U regarding, arising out of or relating to any aspect of your relationship with Magnifi U, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable cause of action or claim for relief, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below).  ”Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced, and shall include any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to you (such as Magnifi U’s licensors, suppliers, dealers or third-party vendors) whenever you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding.

YOU AND MAGNIFI U EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.

Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution

 For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give Magnifi U an opportunity to resolve the Dispute. You must commence this process by mailing written notification to Magnifi U, Inc., 6 North Main Street; Fairport, NY 14450.  That written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your Claim, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If Magnifi U does not resolve the Dispute to your satisfaction within 45 days after it receives your written notification, you may pursue your Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue your Dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.

Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out

Notwithstanding the above, this Arbitration Agreement shall not require arbitration of individual claims brought in small claims court so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual basis.

YOU MAY OPT OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THESE TERMS (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You may opt out of this Provision by mailing written notification to Magnifi U, Inc., 6 North Main Street; Fairport, NY 14450.  Your written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with Magnifi U through arbitration. Your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with Magnifi U. Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your Dispute in arbitration or small claims court.

Arbitration Procedures

If this Arbitration Agreement applies and the Dispute is not resolved as provided above (Pre- Arbitration Claim Resolution) either you or Magnifi U may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all Disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration only and shall in no event be commenced or maintained or heard as a class arbitration or a consolidated or representative action or arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Provision.

For arbitration before AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply.  The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778- 7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267.  This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action or representative action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.

Because the Platform and these Terms concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all Disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.

Arbitration Award – The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party or if required by applicable law. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA or other applicable law and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.

Location of Arbitration – You or Magnifi U may initiate arbitration in either New York County, New York or the judicial district that includes your billing address. However, if Magnifi U initiates the arbitration in New York County, you shall have the right to have the arbitration transferred to the AAA or JAMS within the judicial district that includes your billing address.

Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs – Magnifi U will pay all arbitration filing fees and AAA or JAMS hearing fees and any arbitrator’s hearing fees, costs and expenses upon your written request to the arbitrator given at or before the first evidentiary hearing in the arbitration. You are responsible for all additional fees and costs that you incur in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys or expert witnesses. Fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law. In addition to any rights to recover fees and costs under applicable law, if you provide notice and negotiate in good faith with Magnifi U as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.

Class Action Waiver

ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.  CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.  Except as otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action, representative action, or private attorney general action) unless both you and Magnifi U specifically agree to do so in writing following initiation of the arbitration. If you choose to pursue your Dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other user of the Platform can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.

Waiver of Jury Trial

 Arbitration does not involve a judge or jury. YOU AND MAGNIFI U WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY.  You understand and agree that by entering into these Terms you and Magnifi U are each giving up the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Arbitration Agreement, you and Magnifi U might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring Disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that you would have if you went to court, such as the right to appeal and to certain types of discovery, may be more limited or may also be waived.

Severability

If any clause within this Arbitration Agreement (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Arbitration Agreement, and the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Provision will be unenforceable, and the Dispute will be decided by a court.

Arbitration Agreement Survival

This Arbitration Agreement shall survive the termination of your relationship with Magnifi U or its affiliates. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if Magnifi U makes any change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address), you may reject any such change and require Magnifi U to adhere to the present language in this Arbitration Agreement as of the day you entered into these Terms if a dispute between us arises.

Choice of Law and Exclusive Venue

To the extent that these Terms allow you or Magnifi U to initiate litigation in a court, both you and Magnifi U agree that all Disputes (whether contract, tort, or otherwise) including statutory claims and disputes, arising out of or relating to the Terms or the use of the Platform or the Mobile Applications, will be litigated exclusively in the courts located in New York County in the State of New York.  You and Magnifi U consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. 

Except to the extent that they are preempted by U.S. federal law, the laws of the State of New York, other than its conflict-of-laws principles, govern these Terms and any claims and disputes (whether contract, tort, or otherwise) arising out of or relating to these Terms or their subject matter.  Foreign laws do not apply. The United Nations on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and any laws based on the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) shall not apply to these Terms. If any of these Terms is found to be inconsistent with applicable law, then such term shall be interpreted to reflect the intentions of the parties, and no other terms will be modified. Our failure to enforce any of these Terms is not a waiver of such term.

Entire Agreement

These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Magnifi U and supersede all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements between you and Magnifi U about the Platform. The proprietary rights, disclaimer of warranties, representations made by you, indemnities, limitations of liability and general provisions shall survive any termination of these Terms.

Updating These Terms

From time to time, we may update these Terms to clarify our practices or to reflect new or different practices (such as when we add new features), and Magnifi U Professional reserves the right in its sole discretion to modify and/or make changes to these Terms at any time. If we make any material change, we will notify you using prominent means, such as by email notice sent to the email address specified in your account or by posting a notice through our Services. Modifications will become effective on the day they are posted unless stated otherwise.

Your continued use of our Services after changes become effective shall mean that you accept those changes. Any revised Terms shall supersede all previous Terms.
