In no event shall Gridly or its subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees or any party involved in creating or producing the Services and/or Content be liable to you for any amount exceeding $100, or for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, or any other damages whatsoever, resulting from the use of the Services (or with the delay or inability to use the Services), any Content, Service Pros, Pro Services, third party products, third party sellers, or otherwise arising out of using the Services, Content, Pro Services, third party products, or your dealings with Service Pros or third party sellers, whether under a theory of breach of contract, tort, strict liability, negligence, or otherwise, even if such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. If you live in a jurisdiction that does not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or similar damages, the above limitation does not apply to you. To the extent that one or any aspect of Gridly’s limitations set out above does not apply, all remaining aspects survive. The exclusions and limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between Gridly and you.
The Services, its software, features and functionality, and all of Gridly’s Content, including but not limited to all information, text, displays, images, video and audio, and the design, selection and arrangement thereof, are owned by Gridly or its licensors, as the case may be, and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws.

These Terms, and any dispute between you and Gridly, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Massachusetts without regard to principles of conflicts of law that would result in the application of the law of any other jurisdiction, except that the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration provisions set forth below. Unless you and we agree otherwise, in the event that the “AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE; WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION” section below is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, either as a result of your decision to opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate (as defined below) or as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, you agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and us must be resolved exclusively by a state court located in Boston, MA or a federal court located in Boston, MA, except that you or we are permitted (i) to bring small claims actions in state court in the county in which you reside if such court has a small claims procedure; (ii) to bring claims for injunctive relief in any court having jurisdiction over the parties; or (iii) to seek enforcement of a judgment in any court having jurisdiction over the parties. To the extent permitted by law, you and we agree to waive trial by jury in any court proceeding.
Except for disputes relating to your or our intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights and patents) or for items (i)-(iii) set forth in the “GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION” Section above, you agree that all disputes between you and Gridly (whether or not such dispute involves a third party) arising out of or relating to these Terms, our Services, our Privacy Policy, Service Pros, Pro Services, third party sellers, and/or third party products, shall be finally resolved by arbitration conducted in the English language in Boston, MA, U.S.A. under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and you and we hereby expressly waive trial by jury. You and we shall appoint one arbitrator mutually agreed upon by you and us or, if you and we cannot agree within thirty (30) days of either party’s request for arbitration, such arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA upon the request of either party. The parties shall bear equally the cost of the arbitration (except that the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the arbitration in such an amount as may be determined by the arbitrator). All decisions of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both parties and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding this, application may be made to any court for a judicial acceptance of the award or order of enforcement. Under no circumstances shall the arbitrator be authorized to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with these Terms.
Any claims brought by you or us must be brought in that party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Neither you nor Gridly will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by these Terms. You hereby waive any and all rights to bring any claims related to these Terms and/or our Privacy Policy as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. You may bring claims only on your own behalf.
You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. If you do so, neither you nor we can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify us in writing within thirty (30) days after the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision. The opt out notice must state that you do not agree to the Agreement To Arbitrate and must include your name, address, phone number, your Gridly account to which the opt out applies and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. You must sign the opt-out notice for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of the Agreement To Arbitrate. You must use this address to opt out: 65 Great Road Acton, MA 01720
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, you and Gridly agree that if we make any change to the Arbitration Procedures (other than a change to any notice address or Gridly Site link provided herein) in the future, that change shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against us prior to the effective date of the change. Moreover, if we seek to terminate the Arbitration Procedures from these Terms, such termination shall not be effective until thirty (30) days after the version of these Terms not containing the Arbitration Procedures is posted to our Site, and shall not be effective as to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against us prior to the effective date of removal.
In accordance with this Section, this agreement to arbitrate will survive the termination of your relationship with us.
Headings are for convenience only and shall not be used to construe these Terms. If any portion of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, that portion will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and otherwise severed from these Terms. No failure or delay by Gridly in exercising any right hereunder will waive any further exercise of that right. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Gridly. Gridly’s rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive.
These Terms are binding upon and will inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors, heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, and permitted assigns. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without Gridly’s prior written consent. Gridly may assign its rights, obligations and/or these Terms at any time in its sole discretion without notice to you. The Services are offered only for your personal, non-commercial use, and not for the use or benefit of any third party.

For all other notices to Gridly, write to the following address: 33 Commercial Street, Gloucester, MA 01930.
Nothing in these Terms or otherwise limits Gridly’s right to object to subpoenas, claims, or other demands.
These Terms represent the entire understanding between Gridly and you regarding the Services and/or Content and supersede all prior agreements and understandings regarding the same. These Terms cannot be amended except by a writing signed by both parties or by our posting of an amended version of these Terms.
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. These Terms shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties to these Terms and their respective successors and permitted assigns. We and you are not partners, joint venturers, agents, employees or representatives of the other party.
Neither you nor Gridly shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance under these Terms for causes beyond the party’s reasonable control and not caused by that party’s fault, or negligence, including, but not limited to, “acts of God,” acts of government, flood, fire, civil unrest, acts of terror, pandemics and epidemics, strikes or other labor problems, computer attacks or malicious acts, such as attacks on or through the internet, any internet service provider, telecommunications or hosting facility.
The Services are operated from the United States and international users of the Services agree to be subject to applicable laws in the United States as set forth in the GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION section above. Please note that other countries may have laws and regulatory requirements that differ from those in the United States, and if you access the Services from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with all local laws.
