PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT CONTAINS A CLASS ACTION WAIVER, REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES, AND CLAIMS, AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US. You agree that any dispute, controversy or claim between you and Trakt arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach thereof, our provision of the Services, your access to or use of the Services, or any alleged violation of any federal, state, or local law, statute, or ordinance (each such dispute, controversy or claim, a "Dispute") will be governed by the procedure outlined below. In the event of any Dispute between the Parties concerning the terms and provisions of these Terms, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to collect from the other Party all costs incurred in such dispute, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
You acknowledge that you have read and understand our Privacy Policy. As described in more detail in our Privacy Policy, Trakt may use your contact information to communicate with you about your use of our Services. For example, we may send you service announcements or administrative communications by email or other means. We may also send you marketing communications in accordance with applicable law. While you can adjust your communications preferences by following instructions in our Privacy Policy. Capitalized terms that are not defined in these Terms have the definitions given to them in the Privacy Policy.
Trakt reserves the right (but is not required) to remove or disable your access to our Services, disable any username, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, or remove any Content, User Submissions at any time and without notice, and at our sole discretion, if we determine that your use of our Services is in any way objectionable or in violation of these Terms. Certain violations of these Terms, as determined by Trakt, may result in immediate termination of your access to the Services without prior notice to you. We have the right to investigate violations of these Terms and any conduct that affects our Services, and in response may take any action we may deem appropriate. Our rights and remedies provided in these Terms are cumulative and not exclusive, and the exercise by us of any right or remedy does not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies that may now or subsequently be available at law, in equity, by statute, in any other agreement between you and us or otherwise.
Trakt may terminate your access to all or any part of the Service at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately, which may result in the forfeiture and destruction of all information associated with your membership. If you wish to terminate your Account, you may do so at https://trakt.tv/settings by clicking "Delete Account". All provisions of the Terms of Use which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.
By using the Services, creating an Account, or typing your name into any of our electronic forms and indicating your acceptance or submission of information by clicking a box, you consent to (a) Trakt communicating with you electronically; (b) receiving all applications, notices, disclosures, and authorizations (collectively, "Records") from us electronically; and (c) entering into agreements and transactions using electronic Records and signatures. Please note that federal law treats electronic signatures as having the same legal force and effect as if they were signed on paper by hand, and online contracts have the same legal force as signing an equivalent paper contract in ink. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing. You must have a web-enabled device, an internet connection, an active email account, and the ability to receive and read PDF files to conduct business with us electronically. You agree to be responsible for keeping your own Records. If you require assistance with your Records or if you wish to receive Records in paper format or to withdraw your consent to receiving electronic records from us, please contact us at [email protected]. Agreements and transactions executed prior to this request will remain valid and enforceable.
We may amend these Terms from time to time by updating this page as evidenced by revising the "Last Updated" date noted at the top of this posting. Once you accept these Terms, the then-current version shall apply each time you access or use the Services. Nothing in these Terms will be deemed to confer any third-party rights or benefits.
These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Trakt and supersede all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements between you and Trakt about the Services. The parties' relationship is solely that of independent contractors. The Federal Arbitration Act, California state law, and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to the choice or conflicts of law provisions, will govern these Terms. Foreign laws do not apply. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be freely assigned by Trakt without restriction. If any of these Terms is found to be inconsistent with applicable law, then such term shall be interpreted to reflect the intentions of the parties, and no other terms will be modified. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of the provision shall be amended to achieve as closely as possible the economic effect of the original term and all other provisions shall continue in full force and effect. Trakt's failure to enforce any of these Terms is not a waiver of such term.
