To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release Friendket and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, and successors from any and all claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind arising out of or in any way connected with Disputes between Members or Bookings, including claims for physical or emotional harm.
If your jurisdiction provides a “unknown claims” protection (e.g., California Civil Code §1542), you expressly waive it to the extent permitted.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Friendket and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, and licensors from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to:
Before starting arbitration, you and Friendket agree to try to resolve any Dispute informally. You must send a written Notice of Dispute to: support@friendket.com with (a) your name, username, and email, (b) a description of the Dispute, (c) the relief requested, and (d) any supporting information. Friendket will respond to the email address you provide. If the Dispute is not resolved within 30 days after the Notice is sent, either party may start arbitration.
Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies and remains in that court, on an individual basis only.
Except as stated in Section 19.2, any Dispute will be resolved by binding individual arbitration and not in court. No class actions or representative actions. You and Friendket waive any right to bring or participate in a class, collective, coordinated, or representative proceeding (including as a private attorney general), to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. If AAA is unavailable, the parties will use another nationally recognized arbitration provider and rules that most closely approximate AAA consumer procedures.
Arbitration will take place by video, phone, or written submissions unless the arbitrator determines an in-person hearing is necessary. If an in-person hearing is necessary, it will occur in Travis County, Texas, unless you and Friendket agree otherwise.
Payment of arbitration fees will follow the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and fee schedule. Friendket will pay required AAA administrative and arbitrator fees beyond any consumer filing fee you are required to pay under those rules, except where the arbitrator determines your claim is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.
The arbitrator may award only the relief permitted by law and only on an individual basis. The arbitrator may not award relief for or against anyone who is not a party. Unless prohibited by law, the arbitration proceedings and outcome will be treated as confidential by the parties.
If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed against Friendket by the same or coordinated counsel, the parties agree the arbitrations may be administered using AAA’s mass arbitration procedures/supplementary rules then in effect, including batching and staged bellwether processes, to the extent permitted.
If any part of this Section 19 is found unenforceable, the remainder will remain in effect. If the class/representative waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim must proceed in court (not arbitration) to the extent required by law.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent federal law applies and except as limited by the arbitration section.
Any court proceedings permitted under this Agreement (including those under Section 19.2 or to enforce or vacate an arbitration award) will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and Friendket regarding the Platform.
