4.2 Prices. We offer paid subscriptions to certain features of our Service (“Subscription Services”) and any applicable fees for the Subscription Services (“Subscription Fees”) are set forth and MAY BE made available on our Website and in our App. These Subscription Services and Subscription Fees may be updated by Safety Badger from time to time. Safety Badger may change the fees for any feature of our Service, including additional fees or charges, provided that Safety Badger gives you advance notice of changes before they apply.

These promotional offers, unless made to you, will have no bearing whatsoever on this contract.
4.3 Sponsoring Entities. Safety Badger works with third party entities, including employers, which may pay for or sponsor some or all of the cost of certain users’ Subscription Fees (each a “Sponsoring Entity”). If your subscription is paid for, in whole or in part, by a Sponsoring Entity, any applicable adjustments to our standard pricing will be reflected in your bill for the Subscription Services. In the event that Safety Badger discontinues its relationship with your Sponsoring Entity, your Sponsoring Entity ceases to pay for their portion of your Subscription Fees, or you cease to be affiliated with the Sponsoring Entity, you may be required purchase a subscription, or pay additional fees, for continued access to the Subscription Services.
4.4 Payment Terms; Authorization. You authorize Safety Badger, AND RELATED THIRDPARTY AFFILIATES, including without limitation Occupational Safety & Environmental Assoc., Inc., to charge all sums charged to your Account as described in these Terms at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. If you pay any fees with a credit card (“Payment Provider”), Safety Badger or its payment processor may seek pre-authorization of your credit card prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credits applicable to cover your purchase. Your Payment Provider agreement governs your use of the designated credit card, and you should refer to that agreement and not the Terms to determine your rights and liabilities. By providing Safety Badger with your credit card number, you agree that Safety Badger is authorized to immediately invoice your Account for all fees and charges due and payable to Safety Badger hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required. You agree to immediately notify Safety Badger of any change in your billing address or the credit card used for payment hereunder. Safety Badger reserves the right at any time to change its prices and billing methods, either immediately upon posting on our Service or by e-mail delivery to you, in either case in our sole discretion.
4.5 Taxes. Safety Badger’s fees are net of any applicable Sales Tax. If any Services, or payments for any Services, under the Terms are subject to Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to Safety Badger, you will be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and you will indemnify Safety Badger for any liability or expense we may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon our request, you will provide us with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes. For purposes of this section, “Sales Tax” shall mean any sales or use tax, and any other tax measured by sales proceeds, that Safety Badger is permitted to pass to its customers, that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.
4.6 Withholding Taxes. You agree to make all payments of fees to Safety Badger free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes. Any such taxes imposed on payments of fees to Safety Badger will be your sole responsibility, and you will provide Safety Badger with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as we may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid.
4.7 Subscription Service; Automatic Renewal. If you activate or update Subscription Services through our Service, you authorize Safety Badger to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of either the recurring payments or your Account, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date for the accrued sums. YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL CONTINUE INDEFINITELY UNTIL TERMINATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS. After your initial subscription period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically commence on the first day following the end of such period (each a “Renewal Commencement Date”) and continue for an equivalent period, at Safety Badger’s then-current price for such subscription. You agree that your Account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless you cancel your subscription prior to the scheduled automatic payment. IF YOU DO NOT WISH FOR YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO RENEW AUTOMATICALLY, OR IF YOU WISH TO CHANGE OR TERMINATE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, PLEASE CONTACT SAFETY BADGER TO EXPRESS YOUR SPECIFIC INTENT. If you cancel your subscription, you will no longer be able to interface with the Safety Badger team members and you will no longer receive reports from the Service and your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. If you cancel your subscription, you will NOT receive a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period. Upon renewal of your subscription, if Safety Badger does not receive payment from your Payment Provider, (i) you agree to pay all amounts due on your Account upon demand, and/or (ii) you agree that Safety Badger may either terminate or suspend your subscription and continue to attempt to charge your Payment Provider until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your Account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received).
4.8 Delinquent Accounts. Safety Badger reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Subscription Services for any Account for which any amount is due but unpaid. In addition to the amount due for the Subscription Service, such Accounts will be charged with fees or charges that are incidental to any chargebacks or collection of any such unpaid amounts including collection fees.

16. Dispute Resolution.Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Safety Badger and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
16.1 Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Service or to any aspect of your relationship with Safety Badger, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (a) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify; and (b) you or Safety Badger 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 date you accepted the Terms of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.
16.2 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 Corporation Trust Center with an address at 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801. 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. Safety Badger will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $100 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.
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.
16.3 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 Safety Badger. 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 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 that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
16.4 Waiver of Trial. YOU AND SAFETY BADGER 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 Safety Badger 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 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.
16.5 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 Section’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, than then claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of New York. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
16.6 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 the following address: SUPPORT@SAFETYBADGER.COM within 30 days after first becoming subject to 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.
16.7 Severability. Except as provided in Section 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.
