Term 

These Terms are effective beginning when you accept the Terms or first download, install, access, or use the Services, and ending when terminated as described below. 

Termination

a. Termination by Standard Practice. Without limiting other remedies, Standard Practice may immediately terminate or suspend your access to and/or use of the Services and remove, subject to any regulatory retention requirements, any material from the Services or our servers, in the event that you breach these Terms or for any other reason or no reason at all. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we also reserve the right to terminate, limit or suspend your access to or use of the Services at any time and for any reason or no reason, including: (i) where we determine in our sole discretion that such action is reasonable in order to comply with legal requirements or to protect the rights or interests of Standard Practice or any third party; or (ii) in connection with any general discontinuation of the Services. We also reserve the right to modify the Services at any time without notice to you. We will have no liability whatsoever on account of any change to the Services or any suspension or revocation of your access to or use of the Services. 

b. Termination by You. You may terminate acceptance of these Terms at any time by permanently deleting the App in its entirety from the Authorized Device, whereupon (and without notice from Standard Practice) any rights granted to you herein will automatically terminate. If you fail to comply with any provision of these Terms, any rights granted to you herein will automatically terminate. In the event of such termination, you must immediately delete the App from the Authorized Device. 

Effect of Termination 

Upon termination of these Terms: you understand and acknowledge that we will have no further obligation to provide or allow access to your Standard Practice Account or the Services. Upon termination, all licenses and other rights granted to you by these Terms will immediately cease. Standard Practice is not liable to you or any third party for termination of the Services or termination of your use of the Services. UPON ANY TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION, ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE SUBMITTED, UPLOADED OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE ON, TO OR THROUGH THE SERVICES OR THAT WHICH IS RELATED TO YOUR STANDARD PRACTICE ACCOUNT MAY NO LONGER BE ACCESSED BY YOU. Termination of these Terms shall not relieve either party of liability for any act, omission, occurrence or liability occurring prior to the termination of these Terms. Furthermore, any termination of these Terms will not relieve you of your obligations to pay any monies due or owing to Standard Practice at the time of termination and will not relieve any obligations established prior to termination. 

Except as may be required by applicable law or as provided in our Privacy Policy, Standard Practice will have no obligation to store or maintain (or delete or destroy) any information stored in our database or to forward any information to you or any third party.

Intellectual Property Rights 

You hereby acknowledge that Standard Practice owns all rights, title and interest in and to the Services and to any and all proprietary and confidential information contained therein (“Standard Practice Information”). The Services and Standard Practice Information, including visual interfaces, graphics, design, compilation, information, computer code (including source code or object code), products, software, services, look-and-feel, and all other elements of the Services, are protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws, including patent law, copyright law, trade secret law, trademark law, unfair competition law, and any and all other proprietary rights, and any and all applications, renewals, extensions and restorations thereof, now or hereafter in force and effect worldwide. 

Indemnification 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold Standard Practice and all of its successors, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, stockholders, investors, employees, agents, representatives and attorneys and their respective heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Indemnified Parties arising out of or relating to (a) your access to, use of or alleged use of, or inability to use the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms, the Services, or any representation, warranty, or agreement referenced herein, or any applicable law or regulation; (c) your violation of any third party right, including without limitation any intellectual property right, publicity, confidentiality, property or privacy right; (d) your failure to provide and maintain true, accurate, current and complete Standard Practice Account information; or (e) any disputes or issues between you and any third party. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and in such case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claim. You shall cooperate as fully as reasonably required in the defense of any such claim. You agree not to settle any matter without the prior written consent of Standard Practice. 

Disclaimers; No Warranties 

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW, STANDARD PRACTICE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE SERVICES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, ACCURACY, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL CODE, FITNESS FOR ANY

PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OR TRADE. SPECIFICALLY, BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION, STANDARD PRACTICE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT: (A) THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN, OR THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF, THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR BE CORRECT, ACCURATE, UP-TO-DATE, OR RELIABLE; (B) THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE (INCLUDING ANY NETWORKS AND SERVERS USED TO PROVIDE ANY OF THE SERVICES); (C) THE QUALITY OF ANY PRODUCTS, SERVICES, INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIAL PURCHASED BY OR OBTAINED BY YOU THROUGH THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS; OR (D) ANY ERRORS IN THE TECHNOLOGY WILL BE CORRECTED. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK FOR ALL DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM, AUTHORIZED DEVICE OR LOSS OF DATA THAT MAY RESULT FROM YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICES. YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY STANDARD PRACTICE SHALL CONSTITUTE ANY WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO USER USE OF THE SERVICES. STANDARD PRACTICE DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY SERVICE ADVERTISED OR OFFERED BY ANY THIRD PARTY RELATING TO STANDARD PRACTICE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO USER. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO USER. IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU HEREBY WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 WHICH PROVIDES: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” 

Limitation of Liability 

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES OR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OPERATING OR DELIVERING THE SERVICES BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OR SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, OR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE WHERE SUCH DAMAGES RESULT FROM: (A) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICES (INCLUDING ANY NETWORKS AND SERVERS USED TO PROVIDE ANY OF THE SERVICES), (B) YOUR VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS OR ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR AGREEMENTS REFERENCED HEREIN, OR ANY APPLICABLE LAW OR REGULATION; (C) YOUR VIOLATION OF ANY THIRD

PARTY RIGHT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, PUBLICITY, CONFIDENTIALITY, PROPERTY OR PRIVACY RIGHT; OR (D) ANY DISPUTES OR ISSUES BETWEEN YOU AND ANY THIRD PARTY. YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES ARE NOT LIABLE FOR THE DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF OTHER USERS OR THIRD PARTIES AND THAT THE RISK OF INJURY FROM THE FOREGOING RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU. FURTHER, THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY THIRD-PARTY CONTENT UPLOADED ONTO OR DOWNLOADED FROM THE SITE OR THROUGH THE SERVICE. 

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. 

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES’ LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES, YOUR USE OF THE APP, OR THESE TERMS (FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR FAILURE TO PROVIDE STANDARD PRACTICE WITH ACCURATE INFORMATION OR TO CORRECT INACCURATE INFORMATION AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION), WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO A MAXIMUM OF ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (U.S. $100). THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM WILL NOT ENLARGE THIS LIMIT. 

EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. 

DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION 

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. 

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND THAT IT LIMITS YOUR RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND US. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REJECT THIS PROVISION AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 24(b) BELOW.

a. Election to Arbitrate. You and Standard Practice agree that the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for resolution of a Claim be final and binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 24 (the “Arbitration Provision”), unless you opt out as provided in Section 24(b) below or your Claim is subject to an explicit exception to in this Arbitration 

Provision. As used in this Arbitration Provision, “Claim” shall include any past, present, or future claim, dispute, or controversy involving you (or persons claiming through or connected with you), on the one hand, and us on the other hand, relating to or arising out of these Terms, and/or the activities or relationships that involve, lead to, or result from these Terms, including the validity or enforceability of this Arbitration Provision, any part thereof, or the Terms. Claims are subject to arbitration regardless of whether they arise from contract; tort (intentional or otherwise); a constitution, statute, common law, or principles of equity; or otherwise, except that both you and Standard Practice retain the right: (a) to bring an individual action in small claims court (a “Small Claims Action”); or (b) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, the misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights (an “IP Protection Action”). Claims include matters arising as initial claims, counter‐claims, cross-claims, third-party claims, or otherwise. The scope of this Arbitration Provision is to be given the broadest possible interpretation that is enforceable. This Arbitration Provision shall be construed under and be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding any other choice of law set out in these Terms. 

b. Opt-Out of Arbitration Provision. You may opt out of this Arbitration Provision for all purposes by sending an arbitration opt out notice to help@standardpractice.ai, within thirty (30) days of the date of your electronic acceptance of the terms of these Terms (such notice, an “Arbitration Opt-Out Notice”). The opt out notice must clearly state that you are rejecting arbitration; identify the Terms to which it applies by date; provide your name, address, and social security number; and be signed by you. If you don’t provide Standard Practice with an Arbitration Opt-Out Notice within the thirty (30) day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any Claim except with regard to a Small Claims Action or an IP Protection Action, as expressly set forth above. 

c. Judicial Forum for Disputes. In the event that (i) you or we bring an IP Protection Action; (ii) you timely provide Standard Practice with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice; or (iii) this “Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration” section is found not to apply, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any Claim will be the state and federal courts located in New York, New York and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. You and we both further agree to waive our right to a jury trial. 

d. Informal Dispute Resolution. If a Claim arises, our goal is to learn about and address your concerns and, if we are unable to do so to your satisfaction, to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. You agree that before filing any claim in arbitration, you will try to resolve the Claim informally by

contacting help@standardpractice.ai. Similarly, Standard Practice will undertake reasonable efforts to contact you (if we have contact information for you) to resolve any claim we may possess informally before taking any formal action. If a Claim is not resolved within 30 days after the email noting the Claim is sent, you or Standard Practice may initiate an arbitration proceeding as described below. 

e. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO LITIGATE. Unless you timely provide Standard Practice with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS THROUGH A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY, BUT WILL NOT HAVE THAT RIGHT IF ANY PARTY ELECTS ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIMS IN A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY UPON ELECTION OF ARBITRATION BY ANY PARTY. 

f. NO CLASS ACTIONS. You and Standard Practice agree that the arbitration of any Claim shall proceed on an individual basis, and neither you nor Standard Practice may bring a claim as a part of a class, group, collective, coordinated, consolidated or mass arbitration (each, a “Collective Arbitration”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a claim to resolve any Claim against Standard Practice will be deemed a Collective Arbitration if (i) two (2) or more similar claims for arbitration are filed concurrently by or on behalf of one or more claimants; and (ii) counsel for the claimants are the same, share fees or coordinate across the arbitrations. “Concurrently” for purposes of this provision means that both arbitrations are pending (filed but not yet resolved) at the same time. 

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER YOU NOR STANDARD PRACTICE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO CONSOLIDATE, JOIN OR COORDINATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES, OR ARBITRATE OR LITIGATE ANY CLAIM IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, INCLUDING AS A REPRESENTATIVE MEMBER OF A CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIM (AS DEFINED ABOVE), ANY AND ALL SUCH RIGHTS ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVED. Any challenge to the validity of this Section 24(f) shall be determined exclusively by the arbitrator. 

g. Arbitration Procedures. The party initiating arbitration shall do so with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The AAA will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes then in effect (the “AAA Rules”). If you have any questions concerning AAA or would like to obtain a copy of the AAA Rules, you may call (800) 778-7879 or visit their web site at: www.adr.org. In the case of a conflict between the AAA Rules and this Arbitration Provision, this Arbitration Provision shall control, subject to countervailing law, unless all parties to the arbitration consent to have the AAA Rules apply. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. Arbitration will proceed on an individual basis and will be handled by a sole arbitrator. The single arbitrator will be

either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from AAA’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within fourteen (14) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitrator(s) shall be authorized to award any remedies, including injunctive relief, that would be available to you in an individual lawsuit and that are not waivable under applicable law. 

Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this Section 24(g), if a party seeks injunctive relief that would significantly impact other Standard Practice users as reasonably determined by either party, the parties agree that such arbitration will proceed on an individual basis but will be handled by a panel of three (3) arbitrators. Each party shall select one arbitrator, and the two party-selected arbitrators shall select the third, who shall serve as chair of the arbitral panel. That chairperson shall be a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and with experience arbitrating or mediating disputes. In the event of disagreement as to whether the threshold for a three-arbitrator panel has been met, the sole arbitrator appointed in accordance with this Section shall make that determination. If the arbitrator determines a three-person panel is appropriate, the arbitrator may – if selected by either party or as the chair by the two party-selected arbitrators – participate in the arbitral panel. Except as and to the extent otherwise may be required by law, the arbitration proceeding and any award shall be confidential. 

h. Arbitration Location. Unless you and Standard Practice otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside, or if you so elect, all proceedings can be conducted via videoconference, telephonically or via other remote electronic means. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and Standard Practice submit to the arbitrator, unless the arbitrator determines that a videoconference, telephonic or in-person hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to such rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. 

i. Arbitration Fees. If we elect arbitration, we shall pay all the administrator's filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees). If you elect arbitration, filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees) shall be paid in accordance with the rules of the administrator selected, or in accordance with countervailing law if contrary to the administrator's rules. However, if the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, at your request, we will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). In such circumstances, fees will be determined in accordance with the administrator rules. Each party shall bear the expense of its own attorneys' fees, except as otherwise provided by law.

j. Arbitrator's Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the administrator rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 

k. Survival and Severability of Arbitration Provision. This Arbitration Provision shall survive the termination of these Terms. With the exception of Section 24(f) “No Class Actions,” if a court decides that any part of this Arbitration Provision is invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision shall nevertheless remain valid and in force. In the event that a court finds that all or any portion of Section 24(f) “No Class Actions,” to be invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Provision shall be deemed void and any remaining Claim must be litigated in court pursuant to Section 24(c). 

l. Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of the “Modification of Terms” section above, if Standard Practice changes this “Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration” section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to help@standardpractice.ai) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last revised” date above or in the date of Standard Practice’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Claim between you and Standard Practice in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration” section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms). 

Governing Law 

You agree that, except to the extent inconsistent with or preempted by federal law and except as otherwise stated in these Terms, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms and any Claim that has arisen or may arise between you and Standard Practice. 

General 

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Standard Practice regarding your use of and access to the Services, and except as expressly permitted above may only be amended by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of the parties. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights hereunder, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms or any of our rights or obligations under these Terms at any time without notice. The failure to require performance of any provision shall not affect our right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of these Terms constitute a

waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of paragraph headers in these Terms is for convenience only and shall not have any impact on the interpretation of particular provisions.
