By electing to license and use the Pralana Retirement Calculator via the Platform under one of our Subscription Plans, you agree to pay the Subscription Fees (as defined below) pursuant to the Subscription Plan that you select and be subject to any limitations of such selected Subscription Plan set forth herein or via the Services .

 

           7.2      Pricing and Subscription Fees. As specific to our Platform Services, you agree to pay us all fees (the “ Subscription Fees”) for your access to, and use of, the Pralana Retirement Calculator that you order and purchase from us, in accordance with the payment terms set forth in this Section 7. Our current Subscription Fees for each Subscription Plan offered are available on our Website, or through a personalized payment page of our Services. We also charge a “sign-up” fee upon your purchase of a Subscription Plan, which, for purposes of these Terms, shall be considered to be within the definition of “Subscription Fees”. To the extent we provide the other feature or services for which we charge an additional fee that is not listed in the Subscription Plans’ pricing terms, we will provide you with notice of such additional fees prior to providing the feature or service (for example, by displaying the fee to you on a personalized payment acceptance web page; by displaying the fee to you, for your review and acceptance, within your designated Account or portal; or otherwise, by displaying the fee at the time you are using the feature to which the fee applies, and your use of the feature to which the fee applies constitutes your consent to such fee).

 

           7.3      Subscription Period. As specific to our Platform Services, each Subscription Plan that we offer shall be subject to a specific term for which such Subscription Plan will be in effect as set forth on our Website or through a personalized payment page of our Services (the “ Subscription Period”). The Subscription Period for your Subscription Plan begins on the earlier of (i) the date on which we provide you with access to the Downloadable Product and/or the Platform, as applicable; or (ii) the Subscription Period commencement date set forth on the personalized payment acceptance web page for your Subscription Plan that you accept (the “ Subscription Start Date”).

           7.4     Payment of Subscription Fees. As specific to our Platform Services, unless otherwise expressly stipulated by us in a separate and duly-executed agreement with you, the Subscription Fees will be based upon the Subscription Period and Subscription Plan that you select, and shall be due and payable by you to us as follows:

 

           (a)       Unless we make available to you a different payment plan and you elect it, the default Subscription Period shall be annual, for which the Subscription Fees are paid on an annual basis (the “ Annual Payment Model”). Accordingly, pursuant to the Annual Payment Model, your payment of the annual Subscription Fees shall be due and payable in one payment, in advance, on the Subscription Start Date.

 

           (b)       If you elect an annual Subscription Period that is paid monthly (if we make this option available to you ), then your payment of the annual Subscription Fees shall be due and payable in equal monthly installments (the “Annual Installment Payment Model”). Each installment shall be due in advance, initially on the Subscription Start Date, and subsequently on the same date each subsequent, consecutive month while your Subscription Plan is in effect, until the full amount of the Subscription Fees for the Subscription Period in effect are paid. For clarity, if your Subscription Plan is subject to the Annual Installment Payment Model, you acknowledge and agree that you owe the annual Subscription Fees to us in their entirety, upon the Subscription Start Date, but we provide a monthly installment method of payment to you as a courtesy. We reserve the right to allow, amend or cancel the Annual Installment Payment Model option for annual Subscription Plans at any time, in our sole discretion, provided that the foregoing changes will not take effect during your current Subscription Period.

 

           (c)       If you elect a month-to-month Subscription Period (if we make this option available to you ), then your full payment of the Subscription Fees shall be due and payable on a monthly basis (“Month-to-Month Payment Model”). Each monthly payment shall be due in advance, initially on the Subscription Start Date, and subsequently on the same date each subsequent month while your Subscription Plan is in effect. We reserve the right to allow, amend or cancel the Month-to-Month Payment Model option for our Subscription Plans at any time, in our sole discretion, provided that the foregoing changes will not take effect during your current Subscription Period.

 

           7.5      Changes to Fees.

You represent and warrant that we are authorized to use any payment method designated by you via the Services (“ Payment Method”) and authorize our designated payment processor, to charge or debit such Payment Method for any applicable Subscription Fees. If the Payment Method cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable to us, or our designated payment processor, your ability to access any Subscription Plan may be suspended immediately. In order to continue to access any Subscription Plan you must resolve any problem with us or our designated payment processor.

Either party may elect not to renew your Subscription Plan to the Services by providing notice to the other party, in accordance with the section titled “Notices” hereof, at least thirty (30) days prior to the conclusion of the Subscription Period then in effect [JS7]  [CS8]  [JS9] (a “Non-Renewal Termination”).

           11.3     Effect of Termination. Termination of these Terms for any reason also terminates all of your rights to use any and all Services. If you cancel your Subscription Plan for convenience before the end of the current Subscription Period, the fees for that Subscription Period are non-refundable and remain due.

 

           11.4     SURVIVAL. ANY PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY STATED TO SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS FOR ANY REASON (OR THAT, BY THEIR NATURE ARE INTENDED TO SURVIVE TERMINATION) WILL SURVIVE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT, AS WILL ANY PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS THAT SERVE TO LIMIT OUR LIABILITY OR PROTECT OUR RIGHTS IN OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OR OTHER PROPERTY.

14.      Disclaimer of Damages. IN NO EVENT WILL PRALANA, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, SUPPLIERS OR CONTRACTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SIMILAR DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF DATA, INFORMATION, OR FINANCIAL BENEFIT) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES, ANY PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES, OR ANY OTHER PRODUCT, SERVICE OR OTHER ITEM PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF US, WHETHER UNDER CONTRACT, STATUTE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY (INCLUDING, FOR AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, ANY NEGLIGENCE OF OURS), EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

THIS SECTION 15 WILL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS FOR ANY REASON.

 

16.      Arbitration, Class-Action Waiver, and Jury Waiver.

 

           16.1     Applicability of Arbitration Agreement . Both parties agree that all claims and disputes (whether contract, tort, or otherwise), including all statutory claims and disputes, arising out of or relating to these Terms or the use of the Services that cannot be resolved in small claims court will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis. For clarity, the phrase “all claims and disputes” also includes claims and disputes that arose between us before the effective date of these Terms.

 

           16.2     Initiating Arbitration. Before you commence arbitration of a claim, you must provide us with a written notice (a “ Notice of Dispute”) that includes your name, residence address, username, email address or phone number you use for your Account, a detailed description of the dispute, and the relief you seek. Any Notice of Dispute should be sent to us by mail to Pralana Consulting LLC, ATTN: Arbitration Filing 8205 Enchanted Rock Trail, Denton, TX 76207. Before we commence arbitration, we will send you a Notice of Dispute to the email address you use with your Account, or by other appropriate means. If we are unable to resolve a dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Dispute is received, you or us may commence arbitration.

  

           16.3     Arbitration Rules . The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute-resolution provision. Arbitration will be initiated through American Arbitration Association (“AAA ”) and will be governed by their commercial arbitration rules, which are then in effect. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the Parties will select an alternative customary arbitral mechanism. The rules of the arbitral mechanism will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. The seat of arbitration shall be Denton, TX. Any claims or disputes where the total amount sought is less than $10,000 USD may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the Party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount sought is $10,000 USD or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the arbitral forum’s rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

           16.4     Additional Rules for Non-appearance Arbitration . If non-appearance arbitration is elected, the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online, written submissions, or any combination of the three; the specific manner will be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration will not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless the parties mutually agree otherwise.

 

           16.5     Fees. We will pay all arbitration filing fees, administration and hearing costs, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration we bring. For all other claims, the costs and fees of arbitration shall be allocated in accordance with the arbitration provider’s rules, including rules regarding frivolous or improper claims.

 

           16.6     Authority of the Arbitrator . The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Pralana. The dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages, as well as attorney fees, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator will 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 Pralana.

 

           16.7     Waiver of Jury Trial . YOU AND PRALANA WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Pralana are instead electing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In any litigation between you and Pralana over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND PRALANA WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.

 

           16.8     Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions . ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in  Section 18.1.

 

           16.9     Right to Waive . Any rights and limitations set forth in this arbitration agreement may be waived by the Party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver will not waive or affect any other portion of this arbitration agreement.

 

           16.10   Opt-out. You can opt out of this provision within thirty (30) days of the date that you agreed to these Terms. To opt out, you must send your name, residence address, username, email address or phone number you use for your Account, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement, and you must send them here:  to Pralana Consulting LLC, ATTN: Arbitration Filing, 8205 Enchanted Rock Trail, Denton, TX 76207.

 

           16.11   Arbitration Agreement Survival . This arbitration agreement will survive the termination OR EXPIRATION OF THESE TERMS.

 

           16.12   Enforcement of the Pralana’s Intellectual Property . You acknowledge and agree that, in addition to or in lieu of arbitration pursuant to this Section 16, we may initiate a proceeding related to the enforcement or validity of our Intellectual Property Rights in any court of law or other forum having jurisdiction.

 

17.      Notices. We may deliver any notice required or permitted hereunder (i) via a notice appearing in your account or on the Services or (ii) via electronic mail to your contact information on record with us in your Account information, which notice will be deemed received by you when posted or transmitted by us. Where we permit notices to be given to us via a feature or functionality of the Services (for example, changes to your Account or billing information), you may give such notice through such feature or functionality and it will be deemed effective upon actual receipt by us, but only to the extent the notice is of a type for which the feature or functionality is intended to convey (for example, using your Account page to update your contact information or, as available, to turn on or off your Subscription Plan’s auto-renewal). Otherwise, all notices to us under these Terms (including notices of claims or disputes or to initiate arbitration) must be delivered [JS12]  [CS13]  [JS14]  in writing in hard-copy (paper) to us by (i) personal delivery by hand, (ii) registered mail, (iii) certified mail, return receipt requested, (iv) reputable national or international mail courier with proof of delivery, or (v) our Pralana email address with confirmation of receipt by Pralana. Our current mailing address and email address is:

We may change this notice address by updating these Terms or by listing a new address on the applicable Services. You are responsible for making sure that you are sending notices to our most current address.

18.      Miscellaneous

This Section 18 and its subsections will survive termination of these Terms for any reason.

 

           18.1     Governing Law. The interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and any dispute related to these Terms or the Services, will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of State of Texas, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of Texas or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. You agree that we may initiate a proceeding related to the enforcement or validity of our Intellectual Property Rights in any court having jurisdiction. For all other proceedings, the federal and state courts located in Denton, TX will have exclusive jurisdiction. You waive any objection to venue in any such courts.

 

           18.2     Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and the remaining provisions of these Terms will be unimpaired and these Terms will continue in full force and effect, unless the provisions held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable will substantially impair the benefits of the remaining provisions hereof.

 

           18.3     Waiver; Amendment; Assignment. No waiver of any right or remedy by us will be valid unless in writing, and waiver of a right or remedy on one occasion by us will not be deemed a waiver of such right or remedy on any other occasion. Except as otherwise provided in these Terms, these Terms may not be amended or modified except by a writing signed by you and us. You may not assign these Terms or any of your rights or obligations and any attempt to do so will be void. We may freely assign these Terms or any of our rights or obligations (in whole or in part, including without limitation in connection with the sale, assignment, or other divestiture of some or all of our assets or business that relate to all or any portion of the Services), and you waive notice of such assignment.

 

           18.4     Force Majeure. We will not be responsible or liable to you or deemed in default or breach hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of our obligations hereunder (including the temporary unavailability or inaccessibility of the Services) where such failure is the result of Force Majeure. As defined herein, “ Force Majeure” means any (a) acts of God, flood, fire, wind, storm, drought, earthquake, or other natural disaster; (b) epidemic or pandemic; (c) terrorist attack, civil war, civil commotion or riot, war, threat of or preparation for war, armed conflict, imposition of sanctions, embargo, or breaking off of diplomatic relations; (d) nuclear, chemical or biological contamination, or sonic boom; (e) any law or any action taken by a government or public authority; (f) collapse of building, breakdown of plant or machinery, fire, explosion, or accident; (g) any labor or trade dispute, materials or transport, strike, industrial action or lockout; (h) interruption or failure of utility service; or (i) or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to those enumerated, that is beyond our reasonable control and without our fault or negligence.

The official language of these Terms is English. In the event these Terms are translated, the English version will control, and translations into languages other than English will not be construed as official or original versions of these Terms. All contract interpretations, notices, and dispute resolutions will be in English.

 

           18.6     Entire Agreement. These Terms sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between you and us pertaining to its subject matter, superseding all prior or contemporaneous discussions, agreements, promises or understandings between you and us pertaining to such subject matter. Any additional or varying terms contained in your preprinted forms, correspondence or other documents transmitted to us, will be of no effect, unless otherwise expressly provided in these Terms, and are hereby rejected in advance.
