Term, Termination, and Suspension

This TOS takes effect (or re-takes effect) at the moment You first access or use the Content. Blubird reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time and on any grounds–including, without limitation, any reasonable belief of fraudulent or unlawful activity, or if Blubird reasonably suspects or determines that you are in violation of this TOS–to deny, terminate, or suspend Your access to the Content or to any portion thereof.

This TOS terminates automatically if You fail to comply with any provision hereof, subject to the survival rights of certain provisions identified below. You may also terminate this TOS at any time by ceasing to use the Content, but each re-access or renewed use of the Content will reapply the TOS to You. Upon termination or expiration of the TOS for any reason, all licenses granted by Blubird hereunder shall immediately terminate, and You must immediately cease all use of the Content. The provisions of this TOS concerning Blubird’s proprietary rights, licenses to Submissions, disclaimers of warranty and liability, limitations of liability, waiver and severability, entire agreement, indemnification rights, injunctive relief, and governing law will survive the termination of this TOS for any reason.

Arbitration

In the event the parties hereto are not able to resolve any dispute between them arising out of or concerning this TOS or any provisions hereof, whether arising in contract, tort, or any other legal theory, then such dispute shall be resolved exclusively through final, binding, and confidential arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, conducted by a single neutral arbitrator and administered under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The exclusive site of such arbitration shall be in San Francisco County, California. The arbitrator’s award shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in any court having jurisdiction. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. The entire dispute, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision, shall be determined by the arbitrator. This arbitration provision shall survive the termination of this TOS for any reason.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Blubird may: (i) bring a claim for injunctive relief or other equitable relief against Your violation of this TOS in any court of competent jurisdiction; or (ii) bring a suit or other legal proceeding to enforce this TOS in a small claims court of the State of California having jurisdiction over the applicable claim(s); in either case without being required to observe the arbitration procedures of this Section.

Class Action Waiver

BY USING THIS SITE AND AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU HEREBY WILLINGLY, EXPRESSLY, AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTION BROUGHT UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS TOS OR YOUR USE OF THE CONTENT. YOU MAY NOT BRING ANY CLAIM, SUIT, OR OTHER PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE THIS TOS AS THE MEMBER OF ANY CLASS OR AS PART OF ANY SIMILAR COLLECTIVE OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION.

Governing Law and Venue

This TOS is governed by the laws of the State of California, United States of America, without reference to its principles of conflict of laws. The Content may not be used or accessed from or in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of this TOS, including without limitation this paragraph. Subject to the arbitration requirements set forth above, any claim, suit, or other proceeding arising under or in connection with this TOS shall be brought exclusively before the state and federal courts sitting in San Francisco, California and You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the final resolution thereof.

Independent Contractors

The relationship between You and Blubird under this TOS is that of independent contractors, and nothing herein or in Your use of the Content shall be construed as creating any joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship.

Security and Compliance

Blubird reserves the right to view, monitor, and record Your activity on the Content without notice or permission from You. Blubird’s provision of the Content is subject to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained herein shall restrict or reduce Blubird’s ability to comply with governmental, court, and law enforcement requests or requirements involving Your use of the Content or information provided to or gathered by Blubird with respect to such use.

Export Controls

You represent and warrant that You are not: (a) located in a country that is subject to a U.S. government embargo; or, (b) listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You hereby agree that (i) You will comply with all applicable sanctions and export control laws, and (ii) You are solely responsible for ensuring that the Content is used, disclosed, and/or accessed only in accordance with all applicable sanctions and export control laws.

Severability and Waiver

If any part of this TOS is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to court order or other operation of applicable law, such provision shall be deemed severed from this TOS, and the remainder of this TOS shall continue in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law.

Failure to insist on strict performance of any of this TOS will not operate as a waiver of any subsequent default or failure of performance. No waiver by Blubird of any right under this TOS will be deemed to be either a waiver of any other right or provision or a waiver of that same right or provision at any other time.

Injunctive Relief

You acknowledge that any breach, threatened or actual, of this TOS would cause irreparable injury to Blubird not readily quantifiable as money damages, such that Blubird would not have an adequate remedy at law. You therefore agree that Blubird shall be entitled, in addition to other available remedies, to seek and be awarded an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining any such breach of Your obligations, without the necessity of posting bond or other security.

Changes to Terms

Blubird reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of this TOS by posting a revised set of terms, or mailing and/or emailing notice thereof to You (or such other method as may be required by applicable law). In addition, Blubird may add, modify, or delete any aspect, component, or feature of the Content, but Blubird is not under any obligation to provide any upgrade, enhancement, or modification. Your continued use of the Content following any announced change will be deemed as conclusive acceptance of any change to the TOS.  Accordingly, please review the TOS on a periodic basis.
