FEES AND PURCHASE TERMS.
9.1 General Purpose of Agreement: Sale of Service, not Software.
The purpose of the Agreement is for you to secure access to the Services. All fees set forth within and paid by you under the Agreement shall be considered solely in furtherance of this purpose. In no way are these fees paid considered payment for the sale, license, or use of Visor’s Software, and, furthermore, any use of Visor’s Software by you in furtherance of the Agreement will be considered merely in support of the purpose of the Agreement.
9.2 Payment.
You agree to pay all fees or charges to your Account in accordance with the fees, charges and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. You must provide Visor with a valid credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or any other issuer accepted by us) or PayPal or other applicable payment processor account that Visor utilizes (each, a “Payment Provider”), or purchase order information as a condition to signing up for the Services. Your Payment Provider agreement governs your use of the designated Payment Provider account, and you must refer to that agreement and not the Agreement to determine your rights and liabilities. By providing Visor with your credit card number or other Payment Provider account and associated payment information, you agree that Visor is authorized to immediately invoice your Account for all fees and charges due and payable to Visor hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required. You agree to immediately notify Visor of any change in your billing address or the credit card or other Payment Provider account used for payment hereunder. Visor reserves the right at any time to change its prices and billing methods, either immediately upon posting on Visor Properties or by e-mail delivery to you. You acknowledge that certain credit cards or other Payment Providers may charge you foreign transaction fees or other charges. If your payment is not successfully settled for any reason, you remain responsible for any amounts not remitted to Visor. Each net new use beyond the scope of the initial Online Subscription or Order Form Subscription, as applicable, will incur an additional charge, and will be included in a true-up invoice or charged automatically via Credit Card, as applicable. Visor may terminate your subscription if you fail to promptly pay any outstanding fees.
9.3 Service Subscription Fees.
You will be responsible for payment of the applicable fee for any Services (each, a “Service Subscription Fee”) at the time you create your Account and select your annual or monthly package (each, a “Service Commencement Date”). Except as set forth in the Agreement, all fees for the Services are non-refundable. No contract will exist between you and Visor for the Services until Visor accepts your order by a confirmatory e-mail, SMS/MMS message, or other appropriate means of communication.
9.4 Taxes.
The payments required under Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 of this Agreement do not include any Sales Tax that may be due in connection with the Services provided under this Agreement. If Visor determines it has a legal obligation to collect a Sales Tax from you in connection with this Agreement, Visor shall collect such Sales Tax in addition to the payments required under Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 of this Agreement. If any Services, or payments for any Services, under the Agreement are subject to any Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to Visor, you will be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and you will indemnify Visor for any liability or expense Visor may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon Visor’s request, you will provide it with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes. For purposes of this section, “Sales Tax” shall mean any sales or use tax and any other tax measured by sales proceeds that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax. You are also responsible for any payment-related fees such as wire transfer or credit card processing fees.
9.5 Withholding Taxes.
You agree to make all payments of fees to Visor free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes. Any such taxes imposed on payments of fees to Visor will be your sole responsibility, and you will provide Visor with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as we may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid.
9.6 Expenses.
You are responsible for all fees or expenses related to accessing or using the Services that are extrinsic to the Services. This includes, without limitation, your own internet service provider fees.
9.7 Automatic Renewal.
Your subscription will continue indefinitely until terminated in accordance with the Agreement. After your initial subscription period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically commence on the first day following the end of such period (each a “Renewal Commencement Date”) and continue for an additional equivalent period, at Visor’s then-current price for such subscription. You agree that your Account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless you cancel your subscription at least thirty (30) days prior to the Renewal Commencement Date (or in the event that you receive a notice from Visor that your subscription will be automatically renewed, you will have thirty days from the date of the Visor notice), by logging into and going to the “Change/Cancel Membership” page of your “Account Settings” page. If you do not wish your Account to renew automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your subscription, please contact Visor at team@visor.us or log in and manage your subscription. If you cancel your subscription, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period. By subscribing, you authorize Visor to charge your Payment Provider now, and again at the beginning of any subsequent subscription period. Upon renewal of your subscription, if Visor does not receive payment from your Payment Provider, (a) you agree to pay all amounts due on your Account upon demand and/or (b) you agree that Visor may either terminate or suspend your subscription and continue to attempt to charge your Payment Provider until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your Account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received).
9.8 Disputes.
Unless otherwise provided by the applicable Payment Provider agreement used in connection with your payment for Services, you must notify us in writing within seven (7) days after receiving your Payment Provider statement if you dispute any of our charges on that statement or such dispute will be deemed waived. Billing disputes should be notified to the following address: billing@visor.us.
INDEMNIFICATION.
You agree to indemnify and hold Visor, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners, suppliers, and licensors (each, a “Visor Party” and collectively, the “Visor Parties”) harmless from any losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of any and all of the following: (a) Your Content; (b) your use of, or inability to use, any Visor Property; (c) your violation of the Agreement; (d) your violation of any rights of another party, including any Users; or (e) your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. Visor reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with Visor in asserting any available defenses. This provision does not require you to indemnify any of the Visor Parties for any unconscionable commercial practice by such party or for such party’s fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with Visor or any Services provided hereunder. You agree that the provisions in this section will survive any termination of your Account, the Agreement and/or your access to Visor Properties.

These references do not imply that Visor intends to announce such Services or Content in your country. Visor Properties are controlled and offered by Visor from its facilities in the United States of America. Visor makes no representations that Visor Properties are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use Visor Properties from other countries do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Visor and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
17.1 Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.
You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of Visor, to any products sold or distributed through Visor, or to any aspect of your relationship with Visor, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify,; and (2) you or Visor may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.
17.2 Arbitration Rules and Forum.
The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Michael Yaroshefsky, RocketVisor Corporation, C/O The Corporation Trust Company, 1209 Orange Street, Corporation Trust Center, Wilmington, Delaware 19801. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, Visor will pay them for you. In addition, Visor will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.
You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
17.3 Authority of Arbitrator.
The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Visor. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
17.4 Waiver of Jury Trial.
YOU AND VISOR HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Visor are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 17.1 above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
17.5 Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief.
ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then the claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of New York. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
17.6 30-Day Right to Opt Out.
You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: team@visor.us, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your Visor username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Visor account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
17.7 Severability.
Except as provided in subsection 17.5, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
17.8 Survival of Agreement.
This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Visor.
17.9 Modification.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Visor makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing Visor at the following address: team@visor.us

In the event that the last e-mail address you provided to Visor is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required/ permitted by the Agreement, Visor’s dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice.
