ability to use certain portions of the Exprely Platform, freeze or confiscate
your Exprely Credits (as defined in the Payment Policy) and/or ban you
altogether from the Exprely Platform for any reason or for no reason, and

cancelation or termination may include, but are not limited to, if we believe
in good faith that (a) you, a related person, or your Employee (to the extent

losses.
We reserve the right to stop making available any one or more of the
Exprely Platform, at any time, whether on a temporary or permanent basis and
without any liability, compensation, refunds or other compensatory benefits to
you. Your license to the Exprely Platform automatically ends when we terminate
access to such Exprely Platform. Any such action could prevent you from
accessing your Exprely Account, the Exprely Platform, any Exprely Content, or
any other related information.

18. Entire Agreement
Except as they may be supplemented by additional Exprely policies,
guidelines, standards, or terms for a specific product, feature, service or
offering, these Exprely Terms together with the Exprely Policies constitute the
entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Exprely and you
pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all prior oral
or written understandings or agreements between Exprely and you in relation to
your access to and use of the Exprely Platform.
19. Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Exprely Terms, or any rights or
obligations hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise, without Exprely's
prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Exprely
Terms without such consent will be null and of no effect. Exprely may assign or
transfer these Exprely Terms, and any rights or obligations hereunder, at its
sole discretion, without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Exprely
Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and
permitted assigns.

agree that these electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that
such communications be in writing. You will be considered to have received a communication
when Exprely sends the communication to the email address you have provided to
Exprely on the Exprely Platform, or when Exprely posts such communication on
the Exprely Platform. You must keep your email address updated on the Exprely
Platform, and you must regularly check the Exprely Platform for postings. If
you fail to respond to an email message from Exprely regarding violation,
dispute or complaint within two business days, Exprely will have the right to

22. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
and Class Action Waiver
READ THIS SECTION 22 CAREFULLY. THIS SECTION 22 MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
22.1 Informal Dispute Resolution
Our customer service department is available as noted in Section 25
(Contacting Customer Service) to address any concerns, disputes, claims or
controversies you may have regarding the Exprely Platform, these Exprely Terms
or the relationship between you and Exprely (collectively, "Disputes").
Most Disputes are quickly resolved in this manner to our users’ satisfaction.
The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any Dispute directly through
consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to
either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
22.2 Dispute Resolution for Residents in the
United States
The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of
documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator shall make a decision in writing,
and shall provide a statement of reasons if requested by either party. The
arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the
arbitrator fails to do so.
The AAA Rules and the AAA Consumer Rules are both available at the AAA
website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share
of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules and, where appropriate,
limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The parties understand that, absent this
mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury
trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of
arbitration could exceed the cost of litigation and the right to discovery may
be more limited in arbitration than in court.
23. Feedback
By sending us any ideas, suggestions, documents or proposals ("Feedback"),
you agree that (i) your Feedback does not contain confidential or proprietary
information of third parties, (ii) we are under no obligation of
confidentiality, express or implied, with respect to the Feedback, (iii) we may
have something similar to the Feedback already under consideration or in
development, and (iv) you grant us an irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free,
perpetual, worldwide license to use, modify, prepare derivative works of,
publish, distribute and sublicense the Feedback and you irrevocably waive, and
cause to be waived, against Exprely and other Members any claims and assertions
of any moral rights that you may have with respect to such Feedback.
24. General
The failure of Exprely to enforce any right or provision of these
Exprely Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right
or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only
if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Exprely. Except
as expressly set forth in these Exprely Terms, the exercise by either party of
any of its remedies under these Exprely Terms will be without prejudice to its
other remedies under these Exprely Terms or otherwise. If for any reason an
arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these
Exprely Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the
maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Exprely Terms will
remain in full force and effect.
