Last updated: 05/29/2024
AGREEMENT TO TERMS
These terms of use (the “Terms of Use”) constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“you”) and Ugami Inc. (“Ugami”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), concerning your access to and use of the https://Ugami.com website as well as any other media form, media channel, mobile website or mobile application related, linked, or otherwise connected thereto, including any services relating thereto (the “Services” and collectively, the “Site”). You agree that by accessing the Site, you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by all of these Terms of Use. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE TERMS OF USE, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SITE AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.
The Site is intended for users who are over the age of 13. You may not use the Services or register for the Site if you are under the age of 13. If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent or guardian’s permission to use the Site and that your parent or guardian is agreeing to these Terms of Use. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a User under the age of 18, by allowing your child to use the Site, you are subject to the terms of these Terms of Use, and responsible for your child’s activity on the Site. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, please do not access the Site or use our Services.
Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Site from time to time, including, but not limited to: the Ugami Rewards Terms & Conditions, our Privacy Policy and our Social Media Policy (together the “Supplemental Terms”) are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. Any such Supplemental Terms will be presented to you for your review and consent when you sign up to use the specific Ugami Services to which the Supplemental Terms apply. The Supplemental Terms shall control over these Terms of Use in the event of a conflict between the two. You agree that your use of a Service governed by Supplemental Terms constitutes your agreement to be bound by those additional terms, and that this Agreement and all applicable Supplemental Terms constitute the Agreement applicable to you.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Terms of Use at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about any changes by updating the “Last updated” date of these Terms of Use, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Terms of Use to stay informed of updates. Your continued use of the Site after the effective date of any revised Terms of Use (or such other act as specified in the revised Terms of Use) will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, constitute your consent to those changes. However, we will provide notice and obtain your consent (opt-in or opt-out) if required by law. Note that you may need to consent to our new revised Terms of Use in order to continue to use the Site and the Services.
The information provided on the Site is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Site from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.
Subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law (including under Void Where Prohibited and New Jersey Consumers), we may, with or without prior notice, terminate any of the rights granted by this Agreement.
PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.

GOVERNING LAW, ARBITRATION, AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida for any actions in the United States and the courts located in Toronto, Ontario for any actions in Canada for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other Intellectual Property Rights or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that the federal or state courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida and/or Toronto, Ontario as applicable are the proper fora for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the Arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable in relation to a dispute arising in the United States and/or Canada as applicable
Arbitration. READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM UGAMI. For any dispute with Ugami, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that Ugami has not been able to resolve the dispute after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims arising from protection of Intellectual Property Rights which will be resolved through litigation or for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms of Use, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by JAMS. Claims with amounts claimed greater than $250,000 will apply the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures; and Disputes with amounts claimed less than or equal to $250,000 will apply the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in Miami-Dade County, Florida or Toronto, Ontario, as applicable unless you and Ugami agree otherwise. If JAMS cannot administer the Claim, either party may petition the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida or the courts of Toronto Ontario, as applicable to appoint an arbitrator. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Either party may commence arbitration by providing a written demand for arbitration to JAMS and the other party detailing the subject of the Claim and the relief requested. Each party will continue to perform its obligations under these Terms of Use unless that obligation or the amount (to the extent in dispute) is itself the subject of the Claim. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of its data security, Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights. Proceedings and information related to them will be maintained as confidential, including the nature and details of the Claim, evidence produced, testimony given, and the outcome of the Claim, unless such information was already in the public domain or was independently obtained. You and Ugami, and all witnesses, advisors, and arbitrators will only share such information as necessary to prepare for or conduct arbitration or other legal proceeding, or enforcement of the outcome, unless additional disclosure is required by law.
Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. With respect to all persons and entities, regardless of whether they have obtained an Account or used the Site or the Services for personal, commercial or other purposes, all Claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, private attorney general action or other representative proceeding. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, you and Ugami are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding of any kind.
