1. About Clyde.
Our App, known as “Clyde”, is an application that enables consumer end users (each, a “Consumer”) to purchase product warranties and extended product warranties (each, a “Product Warranty”) made available by third party insurers/obligors (each, an “Insurer”), in connection with the purchase of products from third party websites and/or service providers that have integrated our App (each, a “Merchant”). Our Service acts as a venue to connect Consumers, Insurers and Merchants in connection with the sale of Product Warranties. Clyde DOES NOT offer, broker or underwrite Product Warranties, and Clyde does not fulfill any purchases of products, merchandise, goods or services from Merchants.
2. For Consumers.
If you are a Merchant, the following terms of this Section 2 DO NOT apply to you.
2.1 Product Warranties. When you go to purchase a Product Warranty via the App, our App will automatically match you with Product Warranties that fulfill the criteria you have selected on our App. All Product Warranties are made available solely by their applicable Insurers, and all applicable terms and conditions related to such Product Warranties will be made available to you prior to your purchase. Clyde DOES NOT OFFER, FULFILL, UNDERWRITE OR BROKER ANY PRODUCT WARRANTIES. All information made available by Clyde related to any Product Warranty is solely the responsibility of the applicable Insurer who provided such information, and Clyde will not have any liability to you or anyone else for such information. If you have any issue with your Product Warranty or need Product Warranty support, please contact the Insurer who issued such Product Warranty for support.
2.2 Product Warranty Orders. Although we strive to accept all valid orders, Clyde reserves the right to deny any order for any reason, including if: (i) we discover an error in pricing and/or other information about the Product Warranty ordered or receive insufficient or erroneous billing, payment, and/or delivery information, (ii) we suspect an order has been placed using stolen payment card information or otherwise appears to be connected to fraud, or (iii) the ordered Product Warranty is unavailable due to discontinuance or otherwise. We may also refuse any order that is connected with a previous payment dispute. If any Product Warranty is discontinued or otherwise becomes unavailable, Clyde reserves the right to cancel your order and provide you a refund for the amount paid for the Product Warranty.
2.3 Responsibility for Products. You acknowledge and agree that Merchants are solely responsible for any Products you purchase from them, and that Clyde is not and shall not be responsible for any Products. In the event you have any issue with your Products, please contact the applicable Merchant.

Those who access or use Services from other countries do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.
12. Dispute Resolution.
If you are a Merchant, the following terms of this Section 12 DO NOT apply to you. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Clyde and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
12.1 Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute between you and us relating in any way to the Services or this Agreement, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you and we may assert claims in small claims court if the claims qualify; and (2) you or Clyde 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 Effective Date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.
12.2 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 Clyde, 579 Broadway, 2C, New York, New York 10012, Attn: Support. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims with an amount in controversy under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’ 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. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and you cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, Clyde will pay them for you. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the U.S., county 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.
12.3 Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to 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 arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Clyde. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other proceedings or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual party under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
12.4 Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND Clyde HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT (OTHER THAN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AS PERMITTED HEREIN) AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Clyde are instead electing that all covered claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 12.1 above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis 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.
12.5 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 FOR CLAIMS ClydeRED BY THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER OR PERSON. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this Section 12.5’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then the applicable claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the state or federal courts located in New York in accordance with Section 13.4. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
12.6 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending a timely written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: Clyde, 579 Broadway, 2C, New York, New York 10012 , Attn: Support or email to privacy@Clyde.com, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address and a clear statement that you want to opt out of 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 with us, or may enter into in the future with us.
12.7 Severability. Except as provided in Section 12.5, 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.
12.8 Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement or your relationship with Clyde.
12.9 Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Clyde makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing Clyde at the following address: Clyde, 579 Broadway, 2C, New York, New York 10012, Attn: Support.

13.5 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY ACTION RELATED THERETO WILL BE GOVERNED AND INTERPRETED BY AND UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, CONSISTENT WITH THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.

13.8 Waiver. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
13.9 Severability. Subject to Section 12.7, if any portion of these Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intention of the parties, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
