Exclusion of Damages

GREGORYS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES RELATING TO LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA OR LOSS OF GOODWILL) OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER THAT RESULT FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM OR OUR SERVICES. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

U.S. Use Only

Use of our Platform is for inside the U.S. only. The Platform is controlled and operated by Gregorys from its offices within New York State. We do not represent that the Platform is appropriate under or complies with any law or regulation outside the U.S. If you access our Platform from outside the U.S., you do so in violation of these Terms of Use and at your own risk.

Binding Arbitration; No Class Relief.

This Section is deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and Gregorys agree that we intend that this Section satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. This Section can only be amended by mutual agreement.

We believe that arbitration is a faster, more convenient and less expensive way to resolve any disputes or disagreements that you may have with us. Therefore, pursuant to these Terms of Use, if you have any dispute or disagreement with us regarding (i) your use of or interaction with any of the Platform, (ii) any purchases or other transactions in connection with Gregorys or our Platform, or (iii) any data or information you may provide to us or that we may gather, collect, disclosure, or share in connection with such use, interaction or transaction conducted through or in connection with its Platform or services, whether or not in violation of our Privacy Policy (collectively, “Gregorys Transactions”), you will not have the right to pursue a claim in court or have a jury decide the claim and you will not have the right to bring or participate in any class action or similar proceeding in court or in arbitration. By using or interacting with the Platform, including our Website and App, or engaging in any other Gregorys Transactions, you agree to binding arbitration as provided below.

We will make every reasonable effort to informally resolve any complaints, disputes, or disagreements that you may have with us. By using the Platform, you agree that, if those efforts fail, any complaint, dispute, or disagreement you may have against Gregorys, and any claim that Gregorys may have against you, arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy, or any Gregorys Transactions, shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) administered by the American Arbitration Association or its successor (the “AAA”) instead, and conducted in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at that time (which shall be the “Applicable Rules” in such circumstances). If AAA, at the time the arbitration is filed, has Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness or successor or analogous policies in effect which would be applicable to the matter in dispute (“Minimum Standards”), we agree to provide the benefit of such Minimum Standards to you to the extent they are more favorable than the comparable arbitration provisions set forth in this Section, provided, however, that in no event may such Minimum Standards contravene or restrict the application of subpart (e) or (i) below. Furthermore, this Section shall not prevent any party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. You further agree that:

Single Arbitrator Who Will Interpret These Terms of Use. The Arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the Applicable Rules or by mutual agreement between you and Gregorys (the “Arbitrator”). The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the validity, interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Use and/or the arbitration provisions in this Section, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use is void or voidable.

If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Applicable Rules, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein.

Location of Arbitration and Governing Law. The Arbitration shall be held in New York County, New York; or (ii) at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by you and Gregorys; or (iii) at your election, if the only claims in the arbitration are asserted by you and are for less than $10,000 in aggregate, by telephone or by written submission. The Arbitrator shall (i) apply internal laws of the State of New York consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations;

No Class Relief. The Arbitration can resolve only your and/or Gregorys’ individual claims, and the Arbitrator shall have no authority to entertain or arbitrate any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated;

Written Award. The Arbitrator shall issue a written award supported by a statement of decision setting forth the Arbitrator’s complete determination of the dispute and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it (an “Award”). Judgment upon the Award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets;

Arbitration Costs. In the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of Arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Gregorys will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the Arbitration as the Arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive, regardless of the outcome of the Arbitration, unless the Arbitrator determines that your claim(s) were frivolous or asserted in bad faith;

Small Claims Matters are Excluded; No Class Relief or Joinder of Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration provisions, at your option, you may bring any claim you have against Gregorys in your local small claims court within the U.S. if your claim is within such court’s jurisdictional limit; provided, that such court does not have the authority to entertain any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated in such proceeding.

Miscellaneous

Applicable law and forum. These Terms of Use and the relationship between you and us shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law.

No Waiver. No failure or delay by Gregorys in exercising any right, power or privilege under these Terms of Use will operate as a waiver thereof. Nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege under these Terms of Use.

Severability. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Terms of Use will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision, all of which will remain in full force and effect.

Limited Time to File Claims. You agree that regardless of any statute or law which establishes a different statute of limitations, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, any claim or cause of action (including any arbitration) arising out of, related to or connected with the use of any part of our Platform, or these Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, or Gregorys Transactions must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

Paragraph and Section Titles are For Your Convenience. The paragraph or section titles in these Terms of Use are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

This is the Entire Agreement. These Terms of Use represent the entire understanding of the parties regarding its subject matter, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the parties regarding its subject matter, and may not be amended, altered or waived except in writing by the party to be charged.

No Assignment. These Terms of Use are binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors, heirs, executor, administrators, personal representatives and permitted assigns. You shall not assign your rights or obligations hereunder without Gregorys’ prior written consent.

Connectivity. You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all Devices and other equipment and software. All internet service provider, mobile service, and other services needed to access the Platform, and all charges related thereto, are your sole responsibility.
