1. Changes to the Terms of Service

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change or modify portions of these Terms of Service at any time without further notice. You should periodically visit the Terms of Service so you are aware of any revision to which you are bound. If we do this, we will post the changes to these Terms of Service and will indicate the date they were last revised by the posted Effective Date.

If you choose to subscribe to Burner Premium (“Premium Service”), you are signing up to an auto-renewing subscription requiring recurring payments and agree to pay the then current applicable Premium Service fee listed in the agreement. You will be billed for the subscription either through your credit card or through your intermediary provider such as iTunes, Google Play, or a similar app store (the “AppStore”).

All fees and charges are nonrefundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods.

Credit Card Billing. Credit card payments are processed by Stripe, our third-party payment processor.

If your subscription is based on credit card billing, we will automatically charge your credit card monthly for the cost of the Premium Service and any applicable taxes.

You will be responsible for paying all past due amounts.

Cancellation. Your subscription will continue unless and until you cancel your subscription or we terminate it. You may cancel your subscription any time before each monthly renewal in order to avoid billing of the next period’s Premium Service fee to your chosen payment method. You may cancel your subscription by logging into app.burnerapp.com if you have a web-based subscription or by following your AppStore procedures to cancel. If you choose to cancel your Premium Service, you may use the Premium Service until the end of the current period but will not be issued a refund for the most recently (or any previously) charged monthly fees.

Burner reserves the right to discontinue or modify any subscription fee payment option. We may change the pricing for the Service by updating the website without any additional notice to you, provided that any changes will not take effect until your subscription renews.

9. Binding Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT

A. Federal Arbitration Act. The parties agree that this Terms of Service affects interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions.

B. Initial Dispute Resolution: Our Customer Service Department is available at support@burnerapp.com to address any concerns you may have regarding the Service. Our Customer Service Department is able to resolve most concerns quickly to our customer’s satisfaction. The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with the Customer Service Department and good faith negotiations which shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

C. Binding Arbitration: If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including its formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Application shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS and the JAMS rules and procedures governing arbitrations. The parties, however, agree that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Service, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Service is void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall no authority to find that any claim is subject to arbitration on a class basis or as part of another representative action.

To start an arbitration, you must do the following things: (a) write a Demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the claim and the amount of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com; (b) Send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to: JAMS, 500 North State College Blvd., Suite 600, Orange, CA 92868, 1-800-352-5267; and (c) send one copy of the demand for arbitration to us at 2658 Griffith Park Blvd, #134, Los Angeles, CA 90039.

To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, Ad Hoc Labs will pay the additional cost. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, Ad Hoc Labs will pay all of the actual filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration, provided your claim does not exceed $75,000. The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain cases. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

If both parties agree, the arbitration will be conducted solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing under the JAMS Rules.

D. Location. If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration will take place at any reasonable location within the United States convenient for you.

10. Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

Ad Hoc Labs and you agree that Ad Hoc Labs and you will resolve any disputes, claims or controversies on an individual basis, and that any claims arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service (such as with respect to their validity or enforceability), the Service, any person’s access to and/or use of the Service, and/or the provision of content, products, services, and/or technology on or through the Service will be brought in an individual capacity, and not on behalf of, or as part of, any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding.

If any court or arbitrator determines that the class/consolidated/representative action waiver set forth in this section is void or unenforceable for any reason or that arbitration can proceed on a class, consolidated, or representative basis, then the disputes, claims or controversies will not be subject to arbitration and must be litigated in federal court located in San Francisco, California.

This Class Action Waiver section will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent, subsidiary or affiliated company of Ad Hoc Labs, and to any claims asserted by any of them against you, to the extent that any such claims arise out of or relate to these Terms of Service (such as with respect to their validity or enforceability), and/or the Service, and/or any person’s access to and/or use of the Service, and/or the provision of content, services, and/or technology on or through the Service.
