In issuing usernames and passwords you accept full responsibility for safeguarding your account and protecting it from unauthorized access, including without limitation, terminating the access of those parties whom you no longer wish to have access to your account, e.g., terminated employees. You agree to inform each authorized user that, as your agent, each is bound by these Terms, as the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time.
1.4 Beta Versions. From time to time, we may make available for you to try, at your sole discretion, certain functionality related to the Service, which is clearly designated as beta, pilot, limited release, non-production, or by a similar description (each, a “Beta Version”). Beta Versions are intended for evaluation purposes and not for production use, are not supported, and may be subject to additional terms. We may discontinue Beta Versions at any time in our sole discretion and may never make them generally available. We have no liability for any harm or damage arising out of or in connection with a Beta Version.
1.5 Service Availability. We will attempt to provide the Services at all times, except for periods for maintenance and repair or in the case of emergencies or outages. TimeSolv will post notice of periodic interruptions of the Services or “maintenance windows” from time to time to perform such activities and no reduction of payments will be made in the case of such temporary interruption of Services or “maintenance windows” previously posted. In the event of a temporary interruption in Services that is outside of such “maintenance windows” and TimeSolv determines it was caused by a failure in TimeSolv’s Services or Software or servers or network connections, TimeSolv may issue credits, to be used against future service fees, in an amount equal to the pro rata portion of any fees that may have been paid by you for the portion of the Services not furnished to you as a result of such interruption in Services, provided that you acknowledge that actual service coverage, speeds, locations and quality may vary and the Services may be subject to unavailability for a variety of factors beyond our control including, without limitation, emergencies, third-party service failures, equipment upgrades, transmission errors, distributed denial of service and other network or third party attacks, equipment or network problems or limitations, atmospheric or environmental interference, signal strength, public utility failures, and other force majeure events, and therefore the Services may be interrupted, limited or curtailed. Delays or omissions may occur. You are responsible for making Your Data available that is necessary for us to provide the Service, and we are not responsible for data, messages or pages lost, not delivered, delayed or misdirected because of interruptions or performance issues with the Services or communications services or networks.

You acknowledge and agree that TimeSolv shall not be liable for any damages incurred by you or any third party in connection with any unauthorized access to or disclosure of such information or data resulting from your actions or inactions, or the actions or inactions of a third party, or the failure of electronic or other security measures.

By giving us your payment information (e.g. credit card information, bank account information), you are expressly giving us permission to charge you for all fees incurred in connection with your account.

If TimeSolv is ordered to make such disclosure, TimeSolv will use its reasonable efforts both to notify you and to allow you the opportunity to oppose such disclosure. TimeSolv also will not disclose information regarding you or your account with TimeSolv.

6.2 Your Obligations. You must protect from access or use by unauthorized parties your login name, password, billing data, registration information or payment authorization information, and/or other personal or company identification numbers that TimeSolv assigns to you, and you are solely responsible for any failure to do so. In order to protect the confidentiality of such information, you agree to use software produced by third parties, including, but not limited to, “browser” software that supports a data security protocol compatible with the protocol used by TimeSolv. Until notified otherwise by TimeSolv, you agree to use software that supports the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol or other protocols accepted by TimeSolv and follow TimeSolv’s log-on procedures for Services that support such protocols.

Except for IP Protection Actions and any related actions for monetary damages, you agree any cause of action arising out of or related to the use of our Services must be commenced within one (1) years after the cause of action accrues, or such action will be permanently barred.
11. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
11.1 Mandatory Arbitration; Exceptions and Opt-Out. You agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right: (i) to bring an individual action in small claims court and (ii) 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 action described in the foregoing clause (ii), an “IP Protection Action”). The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action will be the state and federal courts located in the County of Dakota, Minnesota, and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. You acknowledge and agree that you are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding.
11.2 No Class Actions. Further, unless we otherwise agree in a writing signed by an authorized representative, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any limitations set forth in this agreement to arbitrate on the right to arbitrate claims on a class or representative basis, or as part of a consolidated proceeding, as to a given claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and brought in the state or federal courts located in County of Dakota, Minnesota. All other claims will be arbitrated.
11.3 Rules. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Arbitration Agreement” section. (The AAA Rules are available at https://www.adr.org/Rules or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.
11.4 Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. AAA provides a general form for a Demand for Arbitration and may provide a separate form for Demand for Arbitration for residents of a particular state, such as California. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law with at least 15 years of experience and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
11.5 Arbitration Location and Procedure. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that are submitted to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
11.6 Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law. We will not seek, and hereby waive all rights we may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys’ fees and expenses if we prevail in arbitration.
11.7 Fees. Your and our responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules.
11.8 Changes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, if we change this “Arbitration Agreement” section after the date you accepted these Terms or access our Services, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to admin@timesolv.com within the trial period of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Effective Date” listed at the beginning of these Terms or in the date of our email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and us in accordance with the provisions of this “Arbitration Agreement” section as of the date you accepted these Terms, or accessed our Services.
