DISPUTES, ARBITRATION, AND CHOICE OF LAW
If you live in Canada or the United States:
You and Bali Life agree that each may bring or participate in claims against the other only in our respective individual capacities and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. ALL CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTION, REQUESTS FOR RELIEF, OR DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND BALI LIFE (“CLAIMS”) MUST BE RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING MAY NOT BE STARTED OR CONSIDERED BY THE ARBITRATOR, UNLESS BOTH YOU AND BALI LIFE AGREE OTHERWISE, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE CLAIMS OF OTHER PEOPLE OR PARTIES WHO MAY BE SIMILARLY SITUATED. You and Bali Life AGREE TO EXPRESSLY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
Excluded Claims are any of the following: (a) Claims brought by you or Bali Life that, under the rules of small claims court, could be brought there; (b) Claims involving intellectual property (such as copyrights and trademarks); violations of the API Terms of Use of Bali Life (which, to be clear, are governed by those terms); or (c) a violation of Section 7 above (Representations and Warranties). Court action may be taken for Excluded Claims. The arbitrator will decide on any questions regarding the scope and enforceability of the arbitration clause. Only that particular Claim may be filed in court; all other Claims will continue to be subject to arbitration if any Claim cannot be arbitrated in line with this clause. Despite the above, Section 3 of the Additional Terms for Business Accounts governs Business Claims, as defined therein.
Claims that are excluded and those that cannot be arbitrated must be filed in court. Without respect to the conflict of law provisions, California law shall apply to these Terms (to the extent not preempted or inconsistent with federal law), as well as to any such Excluded Claim or Claim that cannot be arbitrated. Any small claims court with jurisdiction over your case may provide relief to either Bali Life or you. The state and federal courts in San Francisco County, California, have exclusive jurisdiction over and venue over all other excluded claims and claims that cannot be resolved through arbitration. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of these courts for the purposes of any such claim’s litigation.
The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) shall handle the arbitration in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules in force at the time. To learn more, go to www.adr.org. The arbitration might take place in person, online, over the phone, or with the submission of papers. The arbitrator may grant you specific damages, such as declaratory or injunctive relief, just as a court may, but only to the degree necessary to resolve your particular claim.
Bali Life must pay all filing, AAA, and arbitrator’s costs and expenses, unless the arbitrator decides that the arbitration was frivolous or initiated for an inappropriate reason. In any non-frivolous arbitration between you and us, we renounce any right to ask for an award of lawyers’ fees and costs.
These Terms and any dispute that could develop between you and Bali Life shall be governed by Irish law if you are a resident of an EEA or Swiss country.
In addition, you consent to each of these courts’ jurisdiction over any related proceedings and acknowledge that any subpoena, third-party discovery request, or other third-party process directed at Bali Life must originate from or be domesticated by the state or federal courts situated in San Francisco County, California.
TERMINATION
By deleting your Account, stopping all access to or use of the Service, and sending Bali Life a notice of termination here, you may terminate the Terms at any time.
For any or no reason, and without prior warning or any other form of liability, we reserve the right to deactivate your Account, restrict your access to certain features of the Service, revoke any license or authorization provided to you herein, and/or permanently bar you from using the Service. You may not be able to access your Account, the Service, Your Content, Service Content, or any other relevant data if you take such a step.
Sections 1, 3, 5, 7–15 of the Terms of Service shall remain in full force and effect even if these Terms are terminated, whether by you or by us.
AVERAGE TERMS
The Service may be changed, updated, or discontinued at any time, for any reason, and without prior warning or consequence, at our absolute discretion.
Nothing in this document is intended to provide any third party rights or remedies, except expressly provided for in Section 10 above.
The Terms replace all earlier agreements between you and us on this topic and represent the complete understanding between you and us about your use of the Service. Any omission on Bali Life’s behalf to exert or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The parties understand that no reliance is placed on any representation made but not explicitly expressed in these Terms. Any additional rights under this agreement are not waived by any party’s failure to exercise any of the rights provided for herein in any manner. Except in accordance with a written agreement signed by Bali Life, the Terms may not be waived.
Only that provision of the Terms will be changed to reflect the parties’ intentions or eliminated to the least extent necessary so that the Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable, regardless of whether it is determined by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable.
Except with Bali Life’s prior written agreement, you may not assign, transfer, or sublicense the Terms or any rights or obligations herein. However, we may do so without limitation. Any effort by you to assign is against these Terms and is invalid.
You acknowledge that nothing in these Terms or your use of the Service creates an employment, joint venture, partnership, agency, special relationship, or fiduciary relationship between you and Bali Life.
The section headings in the Terms are just for convenience and have no binding or legal significance.
REFUND
We don’t give any refunds for any of our digital items since they are completely digital and you immediately accept these terms when you make your first purchase on Balilife.com.
AFFILIATE PROGRAM
The 10% payout will be done 30-60 days after paid for
RELATIONS FOR BUSINESS ACCOUNTS IN ADDITION
In addition to the Terms of Service stated above, the following terms (“Business Terms”) also apply to your access to and use of your Business Account. The Business Terms take precedence over the Terms of Service in the case of any inconsistency. If there is a dispute between the terms of any purchase you made from Bali Life for your company (such as advertising or business tools), the terms of that transaction take precedence. The definitions provided in the Terms of Service apply to capitalized terms used but not specified in these Business Terms. You are accepting these Business Terms and entering into a contract with Bali Life when you create, access, or use your Business Account. If you disagree with these Business Terms, you are not permitted to establish, access, or use a Business Account.
PLEASE READ THESE BUSINESS TERMS CAREFULLY AS THEY LIMIT THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE AND REQUIRE THE USE OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, NOT TRIAL, TO RESOLVE DISPUTES.
These Business Terms, in their whole, shall remain in full force and effect even if they are terminated, whether by you or by us.
PRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, AND REQUIREMENTS
You must agree to the following terms in order to access or use the Services: you will only access or use the Business Site in your capacity as an authorized representative of your Business; you will not use the Convenience Services; and you have the authority to bind any business connected to or claimed through your Business Account (including any related business entity) to the Business Terms. You acknowledge that if we have a good faith opinion that your company is using such terms, we may publicly alert consumers, including by posting a Consumer Alert on the business page for your business.
You hereby represent and warrant that you will not, and will not authorize or induce any other party to: offer incentives of any kind, such as discounts, freebies, refunds, gift cards, contest entries, offers, or deals in exchange for the posting of reviews of your Business, or to prevent or remove reviews; and you hereby understand and acknowledge that Bali Life may publicly alert consumers about such incentives and other attempts to obtain, prevent, or remove reviews through its Consumer Alerts.
Without Bali Life’s prior written approval, you may not: use any Bali Life trademark or service mark in any form; or falsely represent your name or association with Bali Life to anybody.
You are aware and agree that Bali Life enables users to publish information about your company, including images, user ratings, and reviews. You are aware and agree that Bali Life makes use of automated software (referred to as “Recommendation Software”) in an attempt to highlight the most trustworthy and beneficial reviews while giving less prominence to other evaluations. You understand and agree that although Bali Life employs its recommendation software to identify reviews that may be less useful, the recommendation software sometimes fails to recognize or suppresses genuine feedback. You recognize and agree that nothing you buy from Bali Life, including any advertisements or other paid features, will have any effect on the Recommendation Software, provide you the ability to change reviews directly or indirectly, or affect where, when, or how reviews appear on Bali Life.
If you live in the US or Canada solely, the following Sections 2 and 3 apply to you:
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND DISCLAIMERS
THIS SECTION LIMITS THE LIABILITY OF THE BALI LIFE ENTITIES TO YOU, SO PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY. The following applies in addition to the disclaimers and liability limitations described in Section 12 of the Terms for the sake of clarity.
Interactive computer services like BALI LIFE are subject to certain liability restrictions under the federal Communications Decency Act (47 U.S. Code 230) due to its posting of third-party content, such as user evaluations. Additionally, if you try to hold Bali Life accountable via legal action, anti-SLAPP rules, such as California’s Cal. Civ. Proc. Code 425.16, may oblige you to pay Bali Life’s legal expenses.
FOR CLARITY, THIS SECTION GOVERNS ANY BUSINESS CLAIM BRINGED BY YOU OR BALI LIFE. ARBITRATION, DISPUTES, AND CHOICE OF LAW. SECTION 13 OF THE TERMS, NOT THIS SECTION, GOVERNS ANY CLAIM NOT SUBJECT TO THIS SECTION.
Each such dispute or claim, a “Business Claim,” arising out of or relating to: (a) these Terms, or the breach thereof; (b) your access to or use of your Business Account Business Site, shall be resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court. Written reasons for the award, including with all factual and legal conclusions used to reach the decision, will be provided by the arbitrator. The award may be vacated or rectified by judicial review by a court of competent jurisdiction under the California Arbitration Act for any such mistake, and the arbitrator will not have the authority to make errors of law. Claims relating to intellectual property (such as copyrights and trademarks) or transgressions of Section 7 of the Terms of Service are referred to as “Excluded Business Claims” (Representations and Warranties).
A single arbitrator will consider business claims. The arbitration shall be conducted in San Francisco, California, and the parties shall have the option of appearing in person, by telephone, or by filing papers. The laws of the State of California shall govern the arbitration. A fair attorney’s fee award should be given to the party that prevails.
Despite the foregoing, you agree to submit to and consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of, and the exclusive venue of, the state and federal courts located in SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, California, which is the place of performance of these business terms, for any business claim that is not subject to arbitration, including without limitation excluded business claims.
You and Bali Life agree that none of you nor Bali Life shall bring or participate in any business claims against the other except in each party’s individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING MAY NOT BE STARTED OR CONSIDERED BY THE ARBITRATOR, UNLESS BOTH YOU AND BALI LIFE AGREE OTHERWISE, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE BUSINESS CLAIMS OF OTHER PEOPLE OR PARTIES WHO MAY BE SIMILARLY SITUATED. A COURT AND NOT AN ARBITRATOR SHOULD adjudicate a business claim if this section is implicated and this section is found to be invalid, void, or illegal by a court.
