By using the Service, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by the Terms and our Privacy Policy, incorporated herein by reference. As described in Section 15, below, you are agreeing to use arbitration as a means to resolve disputes between us, and as a result, you are waiving certain rights to litigate claims that you might have against us, including as a part of a class action lawsuit. If you do not want to agree to these Terms or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Service. If you are an individual using or opening an account with Trend Software on behalf of an Advertiser customer that is a company, entity, or organization then you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of that Advertiser with the authority to bind the Advertiser to these Terms, and that you agree to these Terms on behalf of such Advertiser. In such a case, references to “you” or Advertiser, as applicable, will be deemed to refer to the entity itself, as well as each individual user accessing and using the Service on behalf of such Advertiser. 1. DEFINITIONS. 1.1 “Ad” means any media made available to Publisher through the Service for display on the Publisher Properties, as provided herein, including but not limited to online video and audio-visual content, and which may consist of certain User Content, combined with certain Company Materials to form, at Advertiser’s direction, a final Ad. 1.2 “Advertiser” means a User using the Service to purchase Publisher Inventory for such Ads for the purpose of advertising such User’s own products and services.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION. 15.1 Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Trend Software in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Trend Software agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal 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. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to 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 the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms. You understand and agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Trend Software are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. 15.2 Exceptions. Notwithstanding subsection (a), we both agree that nothing herein shall be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our right to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims. 15.3 Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Trend Software will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Trend Software. 15.4 Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail ("Notice"). Trend Software's address for Notice is: by Trend Software LLC, 1101 S Winchester Blvd Ste J-225, San Jose, CA 95128, United States of America. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but If we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Trend Software may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Trend Software shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any; provided that if our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Trend Software shall pay you the greater of (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any, and (ii) the greatest amount offered by Trend Software in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award. 15.5 Fees. In the event that you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Trend Software will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees shall be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in San Francisco, California, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Trend Software for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits. 15.6 No class actions. YOU AND TREND SOFTWARE 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 Trend Software agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. 15.7 Modifications. In the event that Trend Software makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Trend Software's address for Notice), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Trend Software's address for Notice, in which case your account with Trend Software shall be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject shall survive. 15.8 Enforceability. If only Subsection (f) of this Section 1 or the entirety of this Section 1 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 1 shall be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described elsewhere in Section 2 shall govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms. 16. GOVERNING LAW; VENUE. These Terms, whether interpreted in a court of law or in arbitration, shall be governed by the laws of the State of California as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within California by California residents, and without regard to conflict of law principles. To the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted hereunder, you and Trend Software agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located in San Francisco, California for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.” 17. MISCELLANEOUS. 17.1 Waiver and Severability. No waiver of by the Trend Software of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Trend Software to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect. 17.2 Entire Agreement.

Trend Software may assign these Terms without limitation. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of these Terms shall be void and of no effect. 17.4 Headings.
