License. “Content” means messages, reviews, photos, audio, video, music, images, text, graphics, software and other types of works of authorship of any kind, and information or other materials posted, generated, provided or otherwise made available through the Services. “User Content” means any content that users (including you) provide to be made available through the Services. Content includes, without limitation, User Content.  Certain features of the Services may permit users to upload User Content to the Service or to publish User Content on the Service, and from time to time users send User Content directly to us or post it on our social media. By uploading, posting, publishing or sending us your User Content, you: (i) represent that you own (or have all rights necessary to grant Soccer Stars the rights below to) all User Content that you submit to the Services, and that Soccer Stars will not need to obtain licenses from any third party or pay royalties to any third party in order to use such User Content, and (ii) you grant Soccer Stars a worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), transferable, perpetual, royalty-free, fully-paid right and license to host, store, transfer, display, publicly perform, reproduce, edit, modify, and distribute your User Content, in whole or in part, in any media formats and through any media channels now known or hereafter developed, on the Soccer Stars Website or otherwise in connection with the Service for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to you. You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of uploading, posting, publishing or sending us your User Content.  You represent that all User Content submitted by or on behalf of you is accurate, complete, up-to-date, and in compliance with these Terms and with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.  In addition, you waive any so-called “moral rights” or rights of privacy or publicity in your User Content and grant Soccer Stars the right to make derivative works from your User Content (including, without limitation, translations). You further grant all users of the Services permission to view your User Content for their personal, non-commercial purposes. You can remove your User Content by specifically deleting it.

We are not responsible or liable for the removal or deletion of (or the failure to remove or delete) any of your User Content.

 

Disclaimer. We are under no obligation to edit or control User Content that you or other users post or publish, and will not be in any way responsible or liable for User Content. Soccer Stars 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 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 acknowledge and agree that the visual interfaces, graphics, designs, compilations, information, data, computer code (including source code or object code), products, software, programs, classes, services, and all other elements of the Services (“Materials”) provided by Soccer Stars are protected by intellectual property and other laws.  All Materials contained in the Services are the property of Soccer Stars or our third-party licensors. Except as expressly authorized by Soccer Stars, you may not make use of the Materials.  Soccer Stars or our third-party licensors reserve all rights to the Materials not granted expressly in these Terms.

THE SERVICE, ALL MATERIALS AVAILABLE ON OR VIA THE SERVICE, AND ALL ITEMS OFFERED FOR SALE OR SOLD THROUGH THE SERVICE, ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ON “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY.  TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SOCCER STARS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION: (A) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT; (B) ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE, AND (C) ANY OTHER WARRANTY THAT MIGHT ARISE UNDER ANY LAW.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW, YOUR USE AND YOUR CHILD’S USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND THAT YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT RESULTS FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICE.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, SOCCER STARS MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES: (A) THAT THE SERVICES ARE OR WILL BE PERMITTED IN YOUR JURISDICTION AND WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-⁠FREE; (B) CONCERNING ANY CONTENT, INCLUDING USER CONTENT AND CONCERNING ANY THIRD PARTY’S USE OF USER CONTENT THAT YOU SUBMIT; AND (C) CONCERNING THIRD PARTY WEBSITES, EVEN IF LINKED TO FROM THE SERVICES.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (I) SOCCER STARS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, ECONOMIC OR PURE ECONOMIC LOSSES, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE, SYSTEM FAILURE, INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES OR CONTENT OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE; AND (II) SOCCER STARS’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS, IN THE AGGREGATE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO SOCCER STARS OVER THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE DATE YOUR FIRST CLAIM(S) AROSE. IF YOU LIVE IN A JURISDICTION THAT DOES NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU. TO THE EXTENT THAT ONE OR ANY ASPECT OF SOCCER STARS LIMITATIONS SET OUT ABOVE DOES NOT APPLY, ALL REMAINING ASPECTS SURVIVE.

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 Soccer Stars and you. The limitations in this section will apply even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.

RELEASE

You certify that your child has no known medical or other conditions that could interfere with his/her participation in the Services, Soccer Stars’ activities and/or any programs conducted by Soccer Stars.  You also understand and accept that the practice of soccer, whether on a public site or in one’s home, involves certain risks of physical injury.  Therefore, you, individually and on behalf of my child, hereby release, discharge, and hold harmless Soccer Stars  and each of its respective parent, subsidiaries, and affiliated companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, agents, representatives, employees, successors, assignees, and licensees (hereinafter, the “Released Parties“) from any and all claims, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to any claims of negligence, arising out of, resulting from, by reason of, or in connection with my child’s participation in the Services, Soccer Stars’ activities and/or any programs conducted by Soccer Stars.  You agree that you will not bring or be a party to any legal action or claim against the Released Parties, or any of them, based upon or arising out of your child’s participation in in the Services, Soccer Stars’ activities and/or any programs conducted by Soccer Stars on any legal theory whatsoever (including without limitation personal injury, negligence, rights of privacy and publicity, or defamation).

 

In the event that you have a dispute with Soccer Stars regarding the Services, Soccer Stars’ activities and/or any programs conducted by Soccer Stars regardless of the nature of such dispute, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law you release Soccer Stars and each of its respective parent, subsidiaries, and affiliated companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, agents, representatives, employees, successors, assignees, and licensees, from claims, losses, damages, and liabilities, including legal fees and expenses (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

 

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

 

THE HEALTH AND FITNESS INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE SERVICES IS DESIGNED FOR EDUCATIONAL AND ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY AND THE USE OF SUCH INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICES IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK AND IS NOT MEDICAL OR HEALTHCARE ADVICE.  YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN OR GENERAL PRACTITIONER BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR CHILD ON A NEW FITNESS PROGRAM.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Soccer Stars in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and Soccer Stars agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, 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. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND SOCCER STARS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

 

Exceptions and Opt-Out. Despite the provisions of the paragraph above, 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; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.  You have the right to opt out of arbitration entirely and litigate any disputes between you and Soccer Stars if you provide us with written notice of your desire to do so by regular mail sent to the attention of Legal at the Soccer Stars address set out in the “Notices” section below within 30 days following the date you first agree to these Terms.

 

Process. In the event that you and Soccer Stars are unable to resolve a dispute after meeting and attempting in good faith to reach a negotiated resolution, such dispute shall first be mediated by a retired judge or justice of any New York state or federal court. If the parties are unable to agree upon a mediator, either party may apply to the New York office of JAMS/Endispute, or its successor (“JAMS”) for the appointment of a mediator from a panel of retired judges and justices maintained by that organization.

 

If the Parties are unable to resolve their dispute by mediation, then either party may initiate arbitration of such dispute. The arbitration shall be initiated and conducted according to the JAMS/Endispute Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedure in effect as of the date hereof, including the Optional Appeal Procedure provided for in such rules (the “Arbitration Rules”). The arbitration shall be conducted in New York County, New York before a single neutral arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. Any appeal shall be heard and decided by a panel of three neutral arbitrators. The neutral arbitrator and the members of any Appeal Panel shall be retired judges or justices of any New York state or federal court. If either Party refuses to perform any or all of its obligations under the final arbitration award (following appeal, if applicable) within thirty (30) days of such award being rendered, then the other Party may enforce the final award in any court of competent jurisdiction in New York County.

 

Any dispute or portion thereof, or any claim for a particular form of relief (not otherwise precluded by any other provision of this Agreement), that may not be arbitrated pursuant to applicable state or federal law may be heard in a court of competent jurisdiction in New York County. If a Party believes in good faith that all or part of a dispute, or any claim for relief or remedy sought, is not subject to arbitration under then-prevailing law, then that Party may seek a determination to that effect from an appropriate court. If the court determines that the matter is not arbitrable or that the remedy sought is not available in arbitration, then the specific matter or request for remedy in question may be resolved by the court. All other matters and claims for relief shall be subject to arbitration as set forth above.

 

No Class Actions. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND SOCCER STARS 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 Soccer Stars agree otherwise, neither JAMS nor the arbitrator may consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding for any purpose.

 

Modifications. If Soccer Stars makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to Soccer Stars’ address for Notice), you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Soccer Stars’ address for Notice, in which case your account with Soccer Stars will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject will survive.

 

Enforceability. If the “No Class Actions” section above is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution and Arbitration” section is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this section will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in section will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.

 

GOVERNING LAW

 

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles. If a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under these Terms, you and Soccer Stars agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within New York County, New York for the purpose of litigating any dispute, to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to applicable law.  The Uniform Commercial Code, the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act, and the United Nations Convention of Controls for International Sale of Goods shall not apply.

NO WAIVER

If we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that does not mean that we have waived our rights against you, and it does not mean that you are relieved of your obligations under these Terms. If we do waive a breach by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later breach by you.

NOTICES

Except as explicitly stated otherwise, legal notices will be served on Soccer Stars by registered mail sent to Round Star NY, LLC, 606 Columbus Ave, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10024 Attn: Legal. Legal notices will be served on you by the email address you provide during the registration process if you are a registered user or by posting through the Service if you are not. Notice by email will be deemed given 24 hours after email is sent, unless Soccer Stars is notified that the email address is invalid. Notice given by either party by mail will be deemed given three days after the date of mailing (to US addresses) or seven days after the date of mailing (for non-US addresses).
