For any registered users including Publishers or Club Owners any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (“Dispute”) shall be subject to arbitration as set forth.
Binding Arbitration
You agree that any dispute relating in any way to your use of the Platform shall be submitted to confidential binding arbitration. If there is a dispute about whether this arbitration provision can be enforced or applies to the Dispute, you and BR agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue. However, any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.
Arbitration under this Agreement is under the Federal Arbitration Act which governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS Arbitration in accordance with their arbitration rules (the “Rules”) then in effect, found at https://www.jamsadr.com/. Arbitration shall be conducted by one (1) arbitrator as selected pursuant to the Rules; the arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The location of the arbitration shall be in Marysville, CA. Each party shall be responsible for their own arbitration fees and costs. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through class action proceedings or otherwise. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of, related to or connected with the use of the Platform or this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever banned. In the event that the law does not permit the above mentioned dispute to be resolved through arbitration or the Dispute is regarding confidential information or intellectual property that require injunctive relief, you agree that any actions shall be brought solely in a court of competent jurisdiction located within Yuba County, CA.
You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted this Agreement by notifying us via mail at BookReview.ing LLC PO BOX 1293, Marysville, CA 95901.

If you have decided to opt out of Binding Arbitration, all Disputes shall be heard in a court of competent jurisdiction located within Yuba County, CA.
- Class Action Waiver
You and BR agree that any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute whether through a court of law or arbitration shall be solely conducted on an individual basis. You and BR agree that you will not seek to have any dispute heard as a class action, representative action, collective action, or private attorney general action and explicitly waive your right to a trial by jury.
- Severability
In the event that a provision of this Agreement is found to be unlawful, conflicting with another provision of the Agreement, or otherwise unenforceable, the Agreement will remain in force as though it had been entered into without that unenforceable provision being included in it.
If two or more provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement you may have with BR are deemed to conflict with each other’s operation, BR shall have the sole right to elect which provision remains in force.
- Non-Waiver
We reserve all rights permitted to us under this Agreement as well as under the provisions of any applicable law. Our non-enforcement of any particular provision or provisions of this Agreement or any applicable law should not be construed as our waiver of the right to enforce that same provision under the same or different circumstances at any time in the future.
- Assignment and Survival
You may not assign your rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any other party without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any other party at our discretion.

Some purchases or Products may be offered as recurring subscriptions. Where Publisher has made a subscription purchase Publisher’s payment information shall be saved for future recurring billing. IF PUBLISHER’S ACCOUNT HAS BEEN SET UP FOR AUTOMATIC BILLING, BR MAY CHARGE PUBLISHER AUTOMATICALLY AND ON A RECURRING BASIS, UNLESS NOTIFIED OF CANCELLATION VIA PUBLISHER’S ACCOUNT DASHBOARD. PUBLISHER AUTHORIZES US TO BILL PUBLISHER ON A RECURRING BASIS AND AGREES THAT PUBLISHER’S SELECTED SUBSCRIPTION SHALL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW FOR ADDITIONAL PERIODS (OF THE SAME LENGTH AS THE INITIAL SUBSCRIPTION) UNTIL WE ARE NOTIFIED OTHERWISE. PUBLISHER AGREES THAT NO ADDITIONAL CONSENT IS REQUIRED TO CHARGE PUBLISHER’S PREFERRED PAYMENT METHOD AUTOMATICALLY AND ON AN AUTOMATICALLY RENEWABLE BASIS FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION.
- Termination of Subscription
Publisher may cancel any ongoing subscriptions by accessing the subscription settings within Publisher’s account. It is important to cancel prior to any renewal period to avoid charges for any additional subscription charges.

Where BR does not charge Publisher any taxes for any purchases, Publisher agrees to pay any and all applicable taxes owed in a timely manner. Where requested by us, Publisher agrees to provide us with evidence that it has made timely tax payments as required by any Laws.
- Refunds
As Club Owners offer and sell all Products, any refunds shall be subject to the conditions of purchase for any Products. Where a Club Owner fails to abide by their Product or refund policies, please contact us.
- Credit Card Declines and Chargebacks
Where Publisher’s payment method has been declined, Publisher agrees that we may resubmit the charge until such charge is fully paid, whether the charge is made as one additional charge or as installments.
If we believe that Publisher has participated in a fraudulent chargeback we will pursue our claims to the fullest extent permitted by law. We will forward Publisher’s information to the applicable law enforcement agency which may result in civil or criminal penalties.
- Relationship of Parties
This PA Agreement shall not be construed to create any association, partnership, joint venture, employee, worker or agency relationship between Publisher and BR. Nothing in the TOS or this PA Agreement creates any special relationship of any sort.

- Product Fees
Through the Platform BR may assist Club Owner in receiving payments for any Products offered (“Product Fees”). Where any Product Fees are collected by BR, BR shall hold Product Fees until the conclusion of any Product campaign or for a reasonable period of time in accordance with BR’s policies. After such time period, Club Owner shall be issued payment, by our third party payment processor, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth by our third party payment processor. Club Owner must agree to that third party processor’s payment policies before any payments may be rendered. Club Owner is solely responsible for ensuring that any payment methods used to receive any Product Fees are properly configured. BR shall not be responsible for verifying Club Owner’s payment method or failure by any third party payment processor to deliver any Product Fees to Club Owner. BR shall deduct a service fee, processing fees, taxes and other deductions (“BR Fee”) as necessary from all payments made to Club Owner from any Product Fees remitted to Club Owner. More information regarding the BR Fee can be found in the Club Owner’s account dashboard or contact help@bookreview.ing. BR reserves the right to change and alter any BR Fees at any time, if BR alters such BR Fee it may contact Club Owner and provide notice before any such increase in BR Fees are initiated. In the event of a dispute between Club Owner and BR or Club Owner and a third party, Club Owner agrees that BR may withhold all Product Fees until such dispute is resolved. Club Owner agrees that the Product Fees minus any BR Fees shall be the sole remuneration provided for any Products sold by a Club Owner on the Platform.
- Cancellations and Refunds
Club Owner must list clear cancellation and refund policies for any Products offered and is solely responsible for administering and handling any refund or cancellation requests from users. Where a Product is refunded, Club Owner is solely responsible for initiating a refund to any applicable user. BR shall retain any BR Fees collected during the initial payment process and such BR Fees shall not be remitted to Club Owner. Where requested by a user, BR reserves the right to refund such user as requested and may offset such deductions from any current Product Fees paid to Club Owner or any other future Product Fees owed to Club Owner. Additionally, where any balance of BR Fees or Product Fees is owed due to a refund, Club Owner agrees that BR will be entitled to offset or recover the amount of any such refund from Club Owner, in any manner, as deemed necessary by BR including by subtracting such refund amount from any future Product Fees paid to Club Owner.

In order for BR to comply with US tax laws, Club Owners may be required to submit W-9 forms, 1099 forms, or other tax documents. Club Owner agrees to comply with any requests to submit any tax documentation, as requested by BR and shall reasonably assist BR with any requests related to its tax compliance. Club Owner agrees that BR cannot and will not provide Club Owner with any tax advice; any such questions should be directed to Club Owner’s tax attorney or other tax professional.
- Club Owner Account Holds
From time to time, BR may place a hold (“Hold”) on a Club Owner’s account or any payments to Club Owner’s account. Some of the reasons that we may place a Hold on Club Owner’s account include but are not limited to the following: (1) if we have reason to believe that the Products offered or your actions have violated this CO Agreement, may harm our business, are deceptive, misleading, unlawful, or have harmed a third party or interfere with a third party contractual right; (2) at the request of our payment processors; or (3) if required in order to comply with a court order, subpoena, writ, injunction, or as otherwise required under applicable Laws. If you have questions about a Hold we may have placed on your account, or need information about how to resolve the Hold, please contact us. Additionally, we may suspend Club Owner’s access to the Platform while such Hold is in place.
- Offset
BR from time to time may offset, change, remove, or withhold any Product Fees received (collectively “Account Adjustment”), at its discretion and without notice. Club Owner authorizes BR’s ability to make any Account Adjustments to its account as necessary to provide the payment services to Club Owner. Such Account Adjustments may be made due to a chargeback, reversal, or a request for a refund from a user. Where such Account Adjustment requires Product Fees to be credited back to Club Owner’s account, BR shall only credit to Club Owner such Product Fees where an Account Adjustment was made solely due to an act, error, or omission of BR. BR shall not be liable for any other return of Product Fees associated to an Account Adjustment and such Product Fees shall only be credited at BR’s discretion.
- Additional Invoicing
Where Club Owner owes any BR Fees, BR may issue an invoice to Club Owner for any BR Fees owed and outstanding. Upon receipt of an invoice Club Owner agrees to pay BR within five (5) business days of receipt. Failure to timely pay for any issued invoice may result in the immediate suspension or termination of Club Owner’s account.
- Relationship of Parties
This CO Agreement shall not be construed to create any association, partnership, joint venture, employee, worker or agency relationship between Club Owner and BR. Club Owner has no authority (and shall not hold himself or herself out as having authority) to bind BR and Club Owner shall not make any agreements or representations on BR's behalf without BR's prior written consent.
