Subscriptions, Cancellations, and Payments

The Service may require the payment of fees by Customers for ongoing, self-renewing monthly access to the Service (“Subscription”). The Payment Method that you provided at the time of Account creation may be charged in the amounts and at the times identified at the time your register (“Subscription Fees”).  When you sign-up for a Subscription, you will be granted access to the Service for the length of time identified when you signed up. We reserve the right to change the Subscription Fees or charges and to institute new Subscription Fees and charges at the end of the current Subscription term, which may be sent by email or by posting the revised or new Subscription Fees to the Service.

If you purchase a Subscription, it may result in recurring charges to the Payment Method that we have on file for you, and you agree that we may charge such amounts until such a time as the Subscription expires, is terminated, or you cancel the Subscription, depending on the Subscription type. WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION, UNTIL YOU PROVIDE PRIOR NOTICE (RECEIPT OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY US) THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE REASONABLY COULD ACT.

Subscription Fees and other charges do not include federal, local, foreign, or similar transaction taxes (“Taxes”) now or hereafter levied, all of which shall be your responsibility. If we are required to pay Taxes on your behalf, you shall be invoiced for such Taxes and shall reimburse us for such amounts as described herein.

If you do not pay at the time you create your Subscription-based Account, we will invoice you for the Subscription Fees at our election (i) on a monthly basis in advance, with all invoices due no less than five (5) days before the start of the month to which the invoice applies, or (ii) when such Subscription Fees are due, with such invoice being due within five (5) days of issuance by us. Knowt shall have the right to assess a late payment charge on any overdue amounts equal to the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the highest rate allowed by law.

UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION BEFORE RENEWAL AND EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW, YOUR ACCESS TO THE SERVICE SHALL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW FOR SUCCESSIVE PERIODS OF TIME OF EQUAL DURATION (OR IF NONE INDICATED, ON A MONTHLY BASIS) UPON EXPIRATION. SUBSCRIPTION FEES OR CHARGES DURING ANY SUCH RENEWAL TERM SHALL BE THE SAME AS THAT DURING THE PRIOR SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD UNLESS WE HAVE GIVEN YOU NOTICE OF AN INCREASE AS DESCRIBED HEREIN, IN WHICH CASE THE INCREASE SHALL BE EFFECTIVE UPON RENEWAL AND THEREAFTER.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction; Arbitration

You agree that any claim or dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Service will be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement. The laws of the State of New York shall govern this Agreement, and shall be used in any arbitration proceeding.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would.  Any arbitration between you and Knowt shall have one (1) arbitrator.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to the following address: Knowt Inc., 16192 Coastal Highway, Lewes, DE 19958.

Arbitration under this Agreement will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules then in effect, shall be conducted in English, and shall be located in New York, New York. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrators, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

You and Knowt agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, both you and Knowt agree that each have waived any right to a jury trial.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property or other proprietary rights, or to collect unpaid amounts.

To the extent arbitrations does not apply, you agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Service, or to us, may only be brought by you in a state or federal court located in New York, New York. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THIS VENUE AS INCONVENIENT OR INAPPROPRIATE, AND AGREE TO EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN NEW YORK.
