Except as otherwise provided herein, if you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement, you may not access or use the Services.

Your use of the Services may be subject to any additional terms, conditions, and policies (“Supplemental Terms”); we will separately post such Supplemental Terms on the Services or will present them to you for your acceptance when you sign up for a particular Service. The Supplemental Terms applicable to you are incorporated by reference into this Agreement. To the extent there is any conflict between the terms set forth here and the Supplemental Terms, the Supplemental Terms will control with respect to the Services or feature to which the Supplemental Terms relate.

Subject to Section 16.10 of this Agreement, Knit reserves the right to modify this Agreement, including the Supplemental Terms, or its policies relating to the Services at any time, effective upon posting of an updated version of this Agreement or any applicable Supplemental Terms on the applicable Services.

HOW THE PLATFORM AND SERVICES WORK.

The Platform enables us to collect survey responses, videos and other information from nationwide panels of consumers (each, a “Panel”), which information enables companies to conduct both quantitative and qualitative studies that are targeted to specific attributes and demographics.

Companies (each, a “Brand” and, collectively, the “Brands”) enter into a separate master services agreement with Knit to gain access to the Platform. Brands then use the Platform to access the information and survey results provided by Panel(s) as well as analysis performed by us for market research, marketing, advertising, concept testing and validation.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONTENT

Types of Content. You acknowledge that all content, including the Services, is the sole responsibility of the party from whom such content originated.

INTERNATIONAL USERS.

The Services can be accessed from countries around the world and may contain references to Services and content that are not available in your country. These references do not imply that Knit intends to announce such Services or Content in your country. The Services are controlled and offered by Knit from its facilities in the United States of America. Knit makes no representations that the Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Services from other countries do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Knit and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Platform, to any products sold or distributed through the Platform, or to any aspect of your relationship with Knit, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, and (2) you or Knit may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.

Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent Knit, Inc., 310 Comal St., Suite 201, Austin, Texas 78702. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, Knit will pay them for you. In addition, Knit will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.

Venue. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Knit. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.

Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND KNIT HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Knit are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 16.1 above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then the claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the Commonwealth of Virginia. All other claims shall be arbitrated.

30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: info@goknit.com, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address you provided when you registered as a User (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.

Severability. Except as provided in subsection 16.5, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Knit.

Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Knit makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing Knit at the following address: 310 Comal St., Suite 201, Austin Texas 78702.
