7. PAID SERVICES

You can find a description of our Service options on the MetaGym App, and we will explain which Service options are available to you when you create an Account. Certain features may be made available to you at no additional charge. However, other features may require payment before you can access them (the "Paid Services").

We may also offer special promotions, or other services, including offerings of third-party products and services in conjunction with or through our Services. We are not responsible for the products and services provided by such third parties. We reserve the right to modify, terminate, or otherwise amend our offered Paid Services plans and promotional offerings at any time in accordance with these Terms.

If you cancel your Paid Services, you may not be able to re-subscribe for the same features and rates as the previous Paid Services that you subscribed to. Note that certain features and rates for Paid Services may be discontinued in the future.

8. PAYMENT

When signing up for an Account you will be required to provide a valid method of payment (a "Payment Method"). You may update your Payment Method at any time by accessing your Account. Payment of fees that are due and payable by you to us will be made in either United States currency or NFTs, i.e. cryptocurrency.

By placing an Order through your Account, you also agree and authorize: (a) the Payment Method you provide to be immediately charged for all fees and taxes applicable to your Order; (b) to share your payment information and fulfill the instructions required by third-party payment processors or service providers to complete the payment transactions; and (c) no additional notice or consent is required for the foregoing authorizations.

We are currently not collecting sales tax on the sale of tokens, avatars, NFTs, or any other purchases based on current guidance of the IRS. If it is determined by the IRS that we were required to collect sales tax on tokens, avatars, NFTs, or any other purchases that you have already purchased, you agree to pay the sales tax for those previously purchased tokens, avatars, NFTs, or any other purchases and allow us to use your then-current Payment Method for such collection of sales tax to remit to the government.

We reserve the right to change the fees for the Paid Services, at any time. Changes to the fees for Paid Services will not affect purchases made prior to the effective date of the changes to the fees for the Paid Services. Your continued use of your Paid Services after the date any changes to the fees for the Paid Services becomes effective, will constitute your acceptance of such fee changes, unless you cancel your Paid Services prior to the automatic renewal.

If there are unpaid amounts or any payment owed to us that is associated with your Account ("Outstanding Amount"), we will promptly notify you of the Outstanding Amount via the email you have on file with us. If the Outstanding Amount is not received within ten (10) calendar days of such email notice from us, we reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access and use of our Services, at our sole discretion. Details of any such termination or suspension of the Services will be provided in the notice you receive from us.

Such fees or charges may include but are not limited to, collection fees, attorney's fees, convenience fees or other third-party charges. Interest shall accrue from the date owed on any Outstanding Amount at the rate of one percent (1%) per month or as otherwise permitted by law, until the Outstanding Amount is paid by you to us.

16. TERM AND TERMINATION

These Terms commence and are binding on the first date you access or use the Services. You may terminate the Terms by discontinuing your use of the Services or deleting your Account at any time, for any reason, by following the instructions on the MetaGym App. We may suspend or terminate your Account, or cease providing you with all or part of the Services, at any time, for any or no reason, including, but not limited to, if we reasonably believe: (a) you have violated these Terms in any manner, including but not limited to, using the Services in a manner not authorized by these Terms; (b) due to unlawful conduct; (c) you create risk or possible legal exposure to us; or (d) our provision of the Services to you is no longer commercially viable. These Terms will continue to apply to you until terminated by either you or us.

After terminating or suspending your access to the Services, we will send you a notice stating the reason(s) why we took action against your Account. From time to time, we may conduct a case-by-case review of our decision to terminate or suspend your use and access to the Services, provided you email us the reasons you believe we should reverse our decision. You can email us at the following email address, legal@meta-gym.io, within a reasonable time of our decision to terminate or suspend your access to the Services and your Account. Upon receipt of your email, we may, but are in no way required or obligated to, review your reasons and respond within a reasonable time.

If we suspend or terminate your Account, or cease providing you with all or part of the Services due to your violation of any portion of the prior paragraph, then you agree that you shall not attempt to re-register with or access the Services through use of a different Username or otherwise. In the event that you violate the immediately preceding sentence, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to immediately take any or all of the actions set forth herein without any notice or warning to you. You acknowledge we will not refund any amounts you have already paid, nor will you be entitled to receive a refund for fees related to those Services to which your access has been terminated.

To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, if we or you terminate your access to the Services and your Account, you agree that we shall have no liability or responsibility to you or any third party. After the Services and your Account are terminated, these Terms of Use will terminate, except that the following provisions will continue to apply to MetaGym and you: section 5 (Rights You Grant Us); section 8 (Payment); section 11 (Ownership); section 12 (Warranty Disclaimers); section 13 (Indemnification); section 14 (Limitation of Liability); section 16 (Governing Law); section 17 (Class Action Waiver); section 18 (Dispute Resolution); section 19 (Integration); section 20 (Severability); and any other provisions that by their nature shall survive termination of these Terms of Use.

17. CLASS ACTION WAIVER

**** You agree that you may bring claims against us only in your individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding. ****

**** You agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the dispute between MetaGym and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law: (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (b) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be arbitrated or resolved on a class action-basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph's limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. ****

18. GOVERNING LAW

The laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern any dispute of any sort arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, or your relationship with us. Any dispute relating in any way to your use of the Services shall be resolved in the courts of the State of California in San Francisco, California, and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

We are confident our customer service department can resolve most concerns quickly and to your satisfaction. Please contact Support by email at support@meta-gym.io.

**** After the informal dispute resolution process, MetaGym and you agree that any remaining dispute, claim, or controversy between you and us arising in connection with or relating in any way to these Terms or to your relationship with us as a user of the Services (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of the Terms) will be determined by mandatory, binding, individual arbitration (for purposes of clarification, no class action arbitration is permitted under these Terms). ****

Both MetaGym and you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act applies and governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by electronic mail ("Dispute Notice(s)"). Our email address for Dispute Notices is: legal@meta-gym.io. The Dispute 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 dispute directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within thirty days (30) after the Dispute Notice is received, you or us may commence an arbitration proceeding. Either you or we may start arbitration proceedings. Any arbitration between you and us will take place under the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") then in force (the "AAA Rules"). The AAA Rules, as well as instructions on how to file an arbitration proceeding with the AAA, appear at adr.org, or you may call the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. We can also help put you in touch with the AAA. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules.

During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or us shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. In the event our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, and the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of our last written settlement offer, then we will instead pay you either the amount of the award or one thousand dollars ($1,000.00), whichever is greater. All documents and information disclosed in the course of the arbitration shall be kept strictly confidential by the recipient. All documents and information disclosed shall also not be used by the recipient for any purpose other than for purposes of the arbitration or the enforcement of the arbitrator's decision and award, and shall not be disclosed except in confidence to persons who have a need to know for such purposes, or as required by applicable law.

Notwithstanding the above paragraphs, you and us both agree that nothing in this arbitration clause will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights, at any time, to bring an individual: (a) action in a U.S. small claims court; (b) claim for infringement of your or our intellectual property, or access to the Services that is unauthorized or exceeds authorization granted in these Terms; or (c) action seeking only temporary or preliminary individualized injunctive relief in a court of law, pending a final ruling from the arbitrator. In addition, this arbitration clause doesn't stop you or us from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf (or vice versa).

20. INTEGRATION
