Aragon Terms of Service

Last Updated: 3/20/2024

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Aragon AI, Inc. ( “Aragon,” “we,” or “us”) and our website at www.aragon.ai, along with our related websites, hosted applications, mobile or other downloadable applications, and other services provided by us (collectively, the “Service”). These Terms of Service are a legally binding contract between you and Aragon regarding your use of the Service.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS CAREFULLY:

BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT,” OR BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD, AND, AS A CONDITION TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY, THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING ARAGON'S PRIVACY POLICY (TOGETHER, THESE “TERMS”). IF YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE, OR DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS, THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE OUR PERMISSION TO USE THE SERVICE. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, AND ARAGON'S PROVISION OF THE SERVICE TO YOU, CONSTITUTES AN AGREEMENT BY ARAGON AND BY YOU TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.

ARBITRATION NOTICE. Except for certain kinds of disputes described in Section 17 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration), you agree that disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, and BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND ARAGON ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

1. Aragon Service Overview. Aragon is a lab focused on generating photorealistic artificial intelligence ( “AI”) images of real people. As part of the Service, Aragon uses a suite of AI tools (the “AI Headshot Generator”) to generate AI headshot images for users (the “AI Headshots”). Users will upload various self-images to the Service which the AI Headshot Generator will use to produce the AI Headshots, which users can use for their own purposes. Users will receive different backgrounds, poses, and styles to choose from for the perfect photograph.
2. Eligibility. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that: (a) you are at least 18 years old; (b) you have not previously been suspended or removed from the Service; and (c) your registration and your use of the Service is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations. If you are an entity, organization, or company, the individual accepting these Terms on your behalf represents and warrants that they have authority to bind you to these Terms and you agree to be bound by these Terms.
3. Accounts and Registration. To access most features of the Service, you must connect to the Service through a third-party account (e.g., Facebook or Google) (each, a “Third-Party Account”). When you connect a Third-Party Account to the Service, you are submitting to Aragon your login credentials for such Third-Party Account ( “Third-Party Account Credentials”). By providing Aragon with your Third-Party Account Credentials, you are authorizing Aragon to act on your behalf to retrieve information from the applicable Third-Party Account for purposes of providing the Service under these Terms. You are responsible for ensuring that your Third-Party Account Credentials have been shared in accordance with the terms of your agreement with the applicable Third-Party Account provider. Third-Party Accounts are not under Aragon's control and Aragon is not responsible for any actions taken by third parties in connection with your sharing of Third-Party Account Credentials.
4. General Payment Terms. Certain features of the Service may require you to pay fees. Before you pay any fees, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. Unless otherwise specifically provided for in these Terms, all fees are in U.S. Dollars and are non-refundable, except as required by law.
   1. Price. Aragon reserves the right to determine pricing for the Service. Aragon will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information published on the Service up to date. We encourage you to check our pricing page periodically for current pricing information. Aragon may change the fees for any feature of the Service, including additional fees or charges, if Aragon gives you advance notice of changes before they apply. Aragon, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any of Aragon's customers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, will not apply to your offer or these Terms.
   2. Authorization. You authorize Aragon to charge all sums for the orders that you make and any level of Service you select as described in these Terms or published by Aragon, including all applicable taxes, to the payment method specified in your account. If you pay any fees with a credit card, then Aragon may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase.
   3. Subscription Service. The Service may include certain subscription-based plans with automatically recurring payments for periodic charges ( “Subscription Service”). The “Subscription Billing Date” is the date when you purchase your first subscription to the Service. The Subscription Service will begin on the Subscription Billing Date and continue for the subscription period that you select at checkout (such period, the “Initial Subscription Period”), and will automatically renew for successive periods of the same duration as the Initial Subscription Period (the Initial Subscription Period and each such renewal period, each a “Subscription Period”) unless you cancel the Subscription Service or we terminate it. If you activate a Subscription Service, then you authorize Aragon or its third-party payment processors to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of the Subscription Service, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date. For information on the “Subscription Fee”, please see our pricing page (available at www.aragon.ai/pricing). Your account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date and thereafter on the renewal date of your Subscription Service for all applicable fees and taxes for the next Subscription Period. You must cancel your Subscription Service before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fee to your account. Aragon or its third-party payment processor will bill the periodic Subscription Fee to the payment method associated with your account or that you otherwise provide to us. You may cancel the Subscription Service by contacting us at support@aragon.ai. YOUR CANCELLATION MUST BE RECEIVED BEFORE THE RENEWAL DATE IN ORDER TO AVOID CHARGE FOR THE NEXT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD.
   4. Delinquent Accounts. Aragon may suspend or terminate access to the Service, including fee-based portions of the Service, for any account for which any amount is due but unpaid. In addition to the amount due for the Service, a delinquent account will be charged with fees or charges that are incidental to any chargeback or collection of any the unpaid amount, including collection fees. If your payment method is no longer valid at the time any fee is due, then Aragon reserves the right to delete your account and any information or User Content (defined below) associated with your account without any liability to you.
5. Licenses
   1. Limited License. Subject to your complete and ongoing compliance with these Terms, Aragon grants you, solely for your personal, non-commercial use, a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service.
   2. AI Headshots. The AI Headshot Generator will use your User Content (as defined below) to generate the AI Headshots. Subject your compliance with these Terms, Aragon hereby assigns to you all of its rights, title, and interest (if any) in and to the AI Headshots resulting from your use of the Service and Aragon's use of your User Content in connection with the AI Headshot Generator. The AI Headshot Generator may provide the same or similar AI Headshots to other users, and Aragon's assignment to you in the preceding sentence does not apply to the AI Headshots resulting from other users' use of the Service. You agree that we may use AI Headshots to (a) provide, maintain, develop, protect and improve the Service or our other products and services, (b) comply with applicable law, and (c) enforce these Terms and any Additional Terms (defined below). You are solely responsible for your use of any AI Headshots.

   4. Feedback. We respect and appreciate the thoughts and comments from our users. If you choose to provide input and suggestions regarding existing functionalities, problems with or proposed modifications or improvements to the Service (“Feedback”) then you hereby grant Aragon an unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free right and license to exploit the Feedback in any manner and for any purpose, including to improve the Service and create other products and services. We will have no obligation to provide you with attribution for any Feedback you provide to us.
6. Ownership; Proprietary Rights. The Service is owned and operated by Aragon. The AI Headshot Generator, visual interfaces, graphics, design, compilation, information, data, computer code (including source code or object code), products, software, services, and all other elements of the Service provided by Aragon (“Materials”) are protected by intellectual property and other laws. For clarity, Materials excludes AI Headshots resulting from your use of the Service, which, as between you and Aragon, are owned by you. All Materials included in the Service are the property of Aragon or its third-party licensors. Except as expressly authorized by Aragon, you may not make use of the Materials. There are no implied licenses in these Terms and Aragon reserves all rights to the Materials not granted expressly in these Terms.
7. Third-Party Terms
   1. Third-Party Services and Linked Websites. Aragon may provide tools through the Service that enable you to export information, including User Content, to third-party services, including through features that allow you to link your account on the Service with an account on the third-party service, such as Twitter or Facebook, or through our implementation of third-party buttons (such as “like” or “share” buttons). By using one of these tools, you hereby authorize that Aragon to transfer that information to the applicable third-party service. Third-party services are not under Aragon's control, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Aragon is not responsible for any third-party service's use of your exported information. The Service may also contain links to third-party websites. Linked websites are not under Aragon's control, and Aragon is not responsible for their content. Please be sure to review the terms of use and privacy policy of any third-party services before you share any User Content or information with such third-party services. Once sharing occurs, Aragon will have no control over the information that has been shared.
   2. Third-Party Software. The Service may include or incorporate third-party software components that are generally available free of charge under licenses granting recipients broad rights to copy, modify, and distribute those components (“Third-Party Components”). Although the Service is provided to you subject to these Terms, nothing in these Terms prevents, restricts, or is intended to prevent or restrict you from obtaining Third-Party Components under the applicable third-party licenses or to limit your use of Third-Party Components under those third-party licenses.
8. User Content
   1. User Content Generally. Certain features of the Service may permit users to submit, upload, publish, broadcast, or otherwise transmit (“Post”) content to the Service, including but not limited to messages, reviews, photos, images, folders, data, text, and any other works of authorship or other works (“User Content”). You retain any copyright and other proprietary rights that you may hold in the User Content that you Post to the Service, subject to the licenses granted in these Terms.
   2. Limited License Grant to Aragon. By Posting User Content to or via the Service, you grant Aragon a worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid right and license (with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers) to host, store, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform (including by means of a digital audio transmission), communicate to the public, reproduce, modify for the purpose of formatting for display, create derivative works as authorized in these Terms, and distribute your User Content, in whole or in part, in any media formats and through any media channels, in each instance whether now known or hereafter developed. If you Upload User Content to the Service, you hereby grant Aragon the right to use the data, content, and information derived from the User Content, except to the extent such data, content, and information derived from the User Content constitutes photographs uploaded to the Service by users, to provide and improve the Service, including to train our algorithms through machine learning and for what is commonly referred to as “generative artificial intelligence” purposes. Aragon will not use photographs uploaded by you to the Services to train its algorithms for generative artificial intelligence or marketing purposes unless we receive your prior written consent for such uses. You agree that Aragon may aggregate your data with the data of other Aragon users for such purposes. All of the rights you grant in these Terms are provided on a through-to-the-audience basis, meaning the owners or operators of external services will not have any separate liability to you or any other third party for User Content Posted or otherwise used on external services via the Service. You agree to pay all monies owing to any person or entity resulting from Posting your User Content and from Aragon's exercise of the license set forth in this Section.
   3. Specific Rules for Photographs and Images. If you Post a photograph or image to the Service that includes one or more persons, you hereby grant such persons and their administrators, guardians, heirs, and trustees, if any, an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty free, fully paid-up, worldwide license to reproduce, distribute, and publicly display that photograph for personal use and through any online platform or service, including the Service, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, but not to promote any third-party product, good, or service. The license contained in this Section does not permit the subject of any photo or their administrators, guardians, heirs, or trustees to sell that image or photograph, whether on a standalone basis or as embodied in any product.
   4. You Must Have Rights to the Content You Post; User Content Representations and Warranties. You must not Post User Content if you are not the owner of or are not fully authorized to grant rights in all of the elements of that User Content. Aragon disclaims any and all liability in connection with User Content. You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of providing User Content via the Service. By providing User Content via the Service, you affirm, represent, and warrant to us that:
      1. you are the creator and owner of the User Content, or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to authorize Aragon and users of the Service to use and distribute your User Content as necessary to exercise the licenses granted by you in this Section, in the manner contemplated by Aragon, the Service, and these Terms;
      2. your User Content, and the Posting or other use of your User Content as contemplated by these Terms, does not and will not: (i) infringe, violate, misappropriate, or otherwise breach any third-party right, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property, contract, or proprietary right; (ii) slander, defame, libel, or invade the right of privacy, publicity or other property rights of any other person; or (iii) cause Aragon to violate any law or regulation or require us to obtain any further licenses from or pay any royalties, fees, compensation or other amounts or provide any attribution to any third parties; and
      3. your User Content could not be deemed by a reasonable person to be objectionable, profane, indecent, pornographic, harassing, threatening, embarrassing, hateful, or otherwise inappropriate.
   5. User Content Disclaimer. We are under no obligation to edit or control User Content that you or other users Post and will not be in any way responsible or liable for User Content. Aragon may, however, at any time and without prior notice, screen, remove, edit, or block any User Content that in our sole judgment violates these Terms, is alleged to violate the rights of third parties, or is otherwise objectionable. You understand that, when using the Service, you will be exposed to User Content from a variety of sources and acknowledge that User Content may be inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable. You agree to waive, and do waive, any legal or equitable right or remedy you have or may have against Aragon with respect to User Content. If notified by a user or content owner that User Content allegedly does not conform to these Terms, we may investigate the allegation and determine in our sole discretion whether to remove the User Content, which we reserve the right to do at any time and without notice. For clarity, Aragon does not permit infringing activities on the Service.
   6. Monitoring Content. Aragon does not control and does not have any obligation to monitor: (a) User Content; (b) any content made available by third parties; or (c) the use of the Service by its users. You acknowledge and agree that Aragon reserves the right to, and may from time to time, monitor any and all information transmitted or received through the Service for operational and other purposes. If at any time Aragon chooses to monitor the content, then Aragon still assumes no responsibility or liability for content or any loss or damage incurred as a result of the use of content. During monitoring, information may be examined, recorded, copied, and used in accordance with our Privacy Policy (defined below). Aragon may block, filter, mute, remove or disable access to any User Content uploaded to or transmitted through the Service without any liability to the user who Posted such User Content to the Service or to any other users of the Service.

    2. DMCA Notification. We comply with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act applicable to Internet service providers (17 U.S.C. § 512, as amended). If you have an intellectual property rights-related complaint about any material on the Service, you may contact our Designated Agent at the following address:
       Aragon AI, Inc.
       Attn: Legal Department (IP Notification)
       782 Superior Rd., Milpitas, CA 95035
       Email: legal@aragon.ai
    3. Procedure for Reporting Claimed Infringement. If you believe that any content made available on or through the Service has been used or exploited in a manner that infringes an intellectual property right you own or control, then please promptly send a written “Notification of Claimed Infringement” to the Designated Agent identified above containing the following information:
       1. an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other right being infringed;
       2. a description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property right that you claim has been infringed;
       3. a description of the material that you claim is infringing and where it is located on the Service;
       4. your address, telephone number, and email address;
       5. a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the use of the materials on the Service of which you are complaining is not authorized by the copyright or other intellectual property right owner, its agent, or the law; and
       6. a statement by you that the above information in your notice is accurate and that, under penalty of perjury, you are the copyright or other intellectual property right owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner's behalf.
       
       Your Notification of Claimed Infringement may be shared by Aragon with the user alleged to have infringed a right you own or control as well as with the operators of publicly available databases that track notifications of claimed infringement, and you consent to Aragon making such disclosures. You should consult with your own lawyer or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 to confirm your obligations to provide a valid notice of claimed infringement.
    4. Repeat Infringers. Aragon's policy is to: (a) remove or disable access to material that Aragon believes in good faith, upon notice from an intellectual property rights owner or authorized agent, is infringing the intellectual property rights of a third party by being made available through the Service; and (b) in appropriate circumstances, to terminate the accounts of and block access to the Service by any user who repeatedly or egregiously infringes other people's copyright or other intellectual property rights. Aragon will terminate the accounts of users that are determined by Aragon to be repeat infringers. Aragon reserves the right, however, to suspend or terminate accounts of users in our sole discretion.
    5. Counter Notification. If you receive a notification from Aragon that material made available by you on or through the Service has been the subject of a Notification of Claimed Infringement, then you will have the right to provide Aragon with what is called a “Counter Notification.” To be effective, a Counter Notification must be in writing, provided to Aragon's Designated Agent through one of the methods identified in Section 11.2 (DMCA Notification), and include substantially the following information:
       1. your physical or electronic signature;
       2. identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
       3. a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and
       4. your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if you are residing outside of the United States, then for any judicial district in which Aragon may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under Section 11.2 (DMCA Notification) above or an agent of that person.
       
       A party submitting a Counter Notification should consult a lawyer or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 to confirm the party's obligations to provide a valid counter notification under the Copyright Act.
    6. Reposting of Content Subject to a Counter Notification. If you submit a Counter Notification to Aragon in response to a Notification of Claimed Infringement, then Aragon will promptly provide the person who provided the Notification of Claimed Infringement with a copy of your Counter Notification and inform that person that Aragon will replace the removed User Content or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days, and Aragon will replace the removed User Content and cease disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of the Counter Notification, unless Aragon's Designated Agent receives notice from the party that submitted the Notification of Claimed Infringement that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on Aragon's system or network.
    7. False Notifications of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notifications. The Copyright Act provides at 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) that: “[a]ny person who knowingly materially misrepresents under [Section 512 of the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512)] (1) that material or activity is infringing, or (2) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, will be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner's authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of [Aragon] relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.” Aragon reserves the right to seek damages from any party that submits a Notification of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notification in violation of the law.
12. Modification of Terms. We may, from time to time, change these Terms. Please check these Terms periodically for changes. Revisions will be effective immediately except that, for existing users, material revisions will be effective 30 days after posting or notice to you of the revisions unless otherwise stated. We may require that you accept modified Terms in order to continue to use the Service. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, then you should remove your User Content and discontinue your use of the Service. Except as expressly permitted in this Section 12 (Modification of Terms), these Terms may be amended only by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of the parties to these Terms.
13. Term, Termination, and Modification of the Service

In addition, Aragon may, at its sole discretion, terminate these Terms or your account on the Service, or suspend or terminate your access to the Service, at any time for any reason or no reason, with or without notice, and without any liability to you arising from such termination. You may terminate your account and these Terms at any time by contacting customer service at support@aragon.ai.
    3. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of these Terms: (a) your license rights will terminate and you must immediately cease all use of the Service; (b) you will no longer be authorized to access your account or the Service; (c) you must pay Aragon any unpaid amount that was due prior to termination; and (d) all payment obligations accrued prior to termination and Sections 5.4 (Feedback), 6 (Ownership; Proprietary Rights), 13.3 (Effect of Termination), 14 (Indemnity), 15 (Disclaimers; No Warranties by Aragon), 16 (Limitation of Liability), 17 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration), and 18 (Miscellaneous) will survive. You are solely responsible for retaining copies of any User Content you Post to the Service since upon termination of your account, you may lose access rights to any User Content you Posted to the Service. If your account has been terminated for a breach of these Terms, then you are prohibited from creating a new account on the Service using a different name, email address or other forms of account verification.
    4. Modification of the Service. Aragon reserves the right to modify or discontinue all or any portion of the Service at any time (including by limiting or discontinuing certain features of the Service), temporarily or permanently, without notice to you. Aragon will have no liability for any change to the Service, including any paid-for functionalities of the Service, or any suspension or termination of your access to or use of the Service. You should retain copies of any User Content you Post to the Service so that you have permanent copies in the event the Service is modified in such a way that you lose access to User Content you Posted to the Service.
14. Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you are responsible for your use of the Service, and you will defend and indemnify Aragon, its affiliates and their respective shareholders, directors, managers, members, officers, employees, consultants, and agents (together, the “Aragon Entities”) from and against every claim brought by a third party, and any related liability, damage, loss, and expense, including attorneys' fees and costs, arising out of or connected with: (1) your unauthorized use of, or misuse of, the Service; (2) your violation of any portion of these Terms, any representation, warranty, or agreement referenced in these Terms, or any applicable law or regulation; (3) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property right or publicity, confidentiality, other property, or privacy right; or (4) any dispute or issue between you and any third party. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you (without limiting your indemnification obligations with respect to that matter), and in that case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of those claims.
15. Disclaimers; No Warranties by Aragon

    2.

    3. ARAGON USES ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE TECHNOLOGY USED BY ARAGON TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE IS EXPERIMENTAL, RAPIDLY EVOLVING, AND SUBJECT TO UNEXPECTED OUTPUTS AND RESULTS.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ARAGON WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY MISTAKES, INACCURACIES, OMISSIONS, OR OFFENSIVE MATERIAL IN THE AI HEADSHOTS OR ANY OTHER CONTENT GENERATED BY THE SERVICE. YOU RELY UPON THE AI HEADSHOTS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.
    4. THE LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SECTION 15 (DISCLAIMERS; NO WARRANTIES BY ARAGON) APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Aragon does not disclaim any warranty or other right that Aragon is prohibited from disclaiming under applicable law.
16. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE ARAGON ENTITIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICE OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY ARAGON ENTITY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE.
    2. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 17.5 (Commencing Arbitration) AND 17.7 (ARBITRATION RELIEF) AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE ARAGON ENTITIES TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF: (a) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO ARAGON FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM AND (b) US$100.
    3. EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 16 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY) WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
17. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
    1. Generally. Except as described in Section 17.2 (Exceptions) and 17.3 (Opt-Out), you and Aragon agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms, the Service, or communications from us will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator.
       YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND ARAGON ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
    2. Exceptions. Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between us, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
    3. Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 17 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to Aragon AI, Inc., Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 782 Superior Rd., Milpitas, CA 95035 that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once Aragon receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 17 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 18.2 (Governing Law). The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
    4. Arbitrator. This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between us, is subject the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by the JAMS under the rules applicable to consumer disputes (collectively, “JAMS Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The JAMS Rules and filing forms are available online at www.jamsadr.com, by calling the JAMS at +1-800-352-5267 or by contacting Aragon.
    5. Commencing Arbitration. Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Aragon's address for Notice is: Aragon AI, Inc., 782 Superior Rd., Milpitas, CA 95035. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) identify the name or account number of the party making the claim; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Aragon may commence an arbitration proceeding. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Aragon will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000 or if the Company has received 25 or more similar demands for arbitration, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the JAMS Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules and the other party may seek reimbursement for any fees paid to JAMS.
    6. Arbitration Proceedings. Any arbitration hearing will take place in the county and state of your billing address unless we agree otherwise or, if the claim is for US$10,000 or less (and does not seek injunctive relief), you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a telephonic or video hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Aragon must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.
    7. Arbitration Relief. Except as provided in Section 17.8 (No Class Actions), the arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by Aragon before an arbitrator was selected, Aragon will pay to you the higher of: (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator and (b) US$10,000. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or (2) if the arbitrator's award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator's application or conclusions of law. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
    8. No Class Actions. YOU AND ARAGON AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Aragon agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
    9. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Aragon makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Aragon's address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with Aragon will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
    10. Enforceability. If Section 17.8 (No Class Actions) or the entirety of this Section 17 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) is found to be unenforceable, or if Aragon receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 17 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 18.2 (Governing Law) will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
