We reserve the right to (1) block access to or remove material that we believe in good faith to be copyrighted material that has been illegally copied and distributed by any of our advertisers, affiliates, content providers, members or users and (2) remove and discontinue service to repeat offenders.

12.2 Procedure for Reporting Copyright Infringements. If you believe that material or content residing on or accessible through the Services infringes your copyright (or the copyright of someone whose behalf you are authorized to act), please send a notice of copyright infringement to Gro's Designated Agent to Receive Notification of Claimed Infringement (our “Designated Agent,” whose contact details are listed below). That notice should contain the following information:

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that  allegedly has been infringed;
• Identification of works or materials being infringed;
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing including information regarding the location of the infringing materials that the copyright owner  or its agent seeks to have removed, with sufficient detail so that we are capable of finding and verifying existence of such material;
• Contact information for the notifier, including address, telephone number and, if available, email address;
• A statement that the notifier has a good faith belief that the use of the material identified is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information provided is accurate and the notifying party is authorized to make the complaint on behalf of the copyright owner.

12.3 Receipt of Infringement Notification by the Designated Agent. Upon receipt of a proper notice of copyright infringement, that complies with the specifications above, we reserve the right without the obligation to:

• Remove or disable access to the infringing material;
• Notify the content provider who is accused of infringement that we have removed or disabled access to the applicable material; and/or
• Terminate such content provider's access to the Services if he or she is a repeat offender.

12.4 Procedure to Supply a Counter-Notice to the Designated Agent. If the content provider believes that the material that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or the content provider believes that it has the right to post and use such material pursuant to authorization from the copyright owner, from the copyright owner's agent, or, under applicable law, the content provider may send to the Designated Agent a counter-notice containing the following information:

• A physical or electronic signature of the content provider;
• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled;
• A statement that the content provider has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material; and
• Content provider's name, address, telephone number, and, if available, email address, and a statement that such person or entity consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which the content provider’s address is located, or, if the content provider's address is located outside the United States, for any judicial district in which we are located, and that such person or entity will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
• Procedure Following Our Receipt of a Counter-Notice. If a counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, we may, in our discretion, send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that we may reinstate the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider accused of committing infringement, the removed material may be reinstated or access to it may be restored within 10 business days after receipt of the counter-notice, at our discretion.

14. Payment

14.1 Paid Products and Services. For each subscription product or Service, Customer will pay Gro Intelligence the applicable fees in the amounts, and in accordance with the payment terms, set forth on the applicable Subscription Schedule. Such fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar government assessment, including for example value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, accessible by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying any Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder. If Gro has a legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, we will invoice Customer and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides us a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, Gro is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its income, property and employees. All fees paid are non-refundable, including for subscriptions terminated by you or by us before the end of the applicable subscription term. Customer agrees that its purchases are not contingent on Gro’s delivery of any future functionality or features not available at the time, and as part, of the purchase. 

14.2 Late Payment. Late payments will bear interest at the rate of 1% of the outstanding balance per month or the maximum amount permitted by law, if lower. Customer's failure to pay amounts when due constitutes a material breach. If any amount owing by Customer is overdue by more than 30 calendar days (including holidays), Gro Intelligence may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend Customer’s access to Gro product(s) or Service(s) until such amounts are paid in full or terminate Customer’s subscription.

14.3 Payment Method. We accept ACH/wire transfers and credit card payments. Payments can be made to Gro Intelligence directly from your Payment Processor (your financial institution or third party provider). If we, through the Payment Processor, do not receive payment from you, you agree to pay all amounts due on your Billing Account upon demand.

14.4 Free Trials and Other Promotions. Any free trial or other promotion that provides access to a subscription product or Service must be used within the specified time of the trial. You must stop using any such subscription product or Service before the end of the trial period in order to avoid being charged for that product or Service . If you cancel prior to the end of the trial period and are inadvertently charged for a subscription product or Service , please contact us immediately at support@gro-intelligence.com.

15.  Termination. 

15.1 Either Party may terminate a Subscription Schedule upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other Party if the other Party commits a material breach of such Subscription Schedule (or this Agreement) provided, however, that: (i) such Subscription Schedule will not terminate if the other Party cures such breach before the end of the thirty (30) day period; and (ii) Gro may immediately terminate any Subscription Schedule upon notice to Customer if Gro reasonably believes that Customer is engaging in any business or conduct that may be illegal, fraudulent, tortious.

15.2 Effects of Termination. Upon expiration or termination of the Agreement for any reason, any amounts owed to Gro Intelligence under this Agreement including any Subscription Schedule(s) before such termination will be immediately due and payable, and Gro reserves the rights in its sole direction to disable all access to the Products, using available lawful means.

21. Dispute Resolution

21.1 Agreement to Arbitration.

Both you and Gro acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms of Service, Gro’s officers, directors, employees and independent contractors (“Gro Personnel”) are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms of Service, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms of Service, Gro Personnel will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms of Service against you as the third-party beneficiary hereof.

21.2 Arbitration Rules; Applicability of Arbitration. The you and we shall use our best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms of Service directly through good-faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to anyone initiating arbitration. If such negotiations do not resolve the dispute, it shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in New York, New York. The arbitration will proceed in the English language, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes. The arbitrator shall be selected from a list of qualified JAMS arbitrators in accordance with the Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

21.3 Costs of Arbitration. The Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Unless it determines otherwise, on a case-by-case basis, Gro will pay all arbitration fees for claims less than seventy-five thousand ($75,000) dollars, and will not seek to recover its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is wholly without merit or frivolous.

21.4 Small Claims Court; Infringement. All claims shall be resolved by arbitration except that either your or Gro may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in New York, New York or any United States county where you live or work. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, you and Gro shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction, to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
