You further acknowledge that, by acceptance of your submission, BeverlySarah does not waive any rights to use similar or related ideas previously known to BeverlySarah, or developed by its employees, or obtained from sources other than you.
Responsibility for Public Postings and Content
Responsibility for what is posted in public areas of the Site lies with each user - you alone are responsible for the material you post or otherwise make available in public areas of the Site. You alone are responsible for assessing the credibility of other user postings. We do not control the material that you or others may post or otherwise make available in such areas, and you understand that we have no obligation to monitor any such material or to edit or delete it. However, we reserve the right to do so. We are not a publisher of user posts and we are not responsible for their accuracy or legality.
You also understand and agree that any action or inaction by us or any of our directors, officers, stockholders, employees, consultants, agents or representatives (collectively, "Our Representatives") to prevent, restrict, redress or regulate content, or to implement other enforcement measures against any content, conduct or potential Terms of Use violation is undertaken voluntarily and in good faith, and you expressly agree that neither we nor any of Our Representatives shall be liable to you or anyone else for any action or inaction to prevent, restrict, redress, or regulate content, or to implement other enforcement measures against any content, conduct or potential violation of these Terms of Use.
Although Our Representatives may moderate content, conduct and Terms of Use compliance on the Site at our discretion, Our Representatives have no authority to make binding commitments, promises or representations to anyone that they or anyone else on our behalf will "take care" of any alleged problem or complaint, or that they or anyone else on our behalf will otherwise stop, cure or prevent any problem, content, conduct or purported Terms of Use violation from occurring or recurring. Accordingly, you further agree that any representation (written or verbal) by any of Our Representatives (or by anyone else acting on our behalf or by anyone purportedly acting on our behalf) that we (including but not limited to any of Our Representatives, anyone else acting on our behalf, or anyone purportedly acting on our behalf) would or would not prevent, restrict, redress or regulate content (including, without limitation, screen, block, moderate, review, remove, terminate, delete, edit or otherwise stop, cure or exclude any content), or to implement other enforcement measures against any content, conduct or potential or purported Terms of Use violation is superseded by this provision and is nonbinding and unenforceable. Specifically, you agree that we, Our Representatives and anyone else authorized to act on our behalf shall in no circumstance be liable as a result of any representation that we, Our Representative or anyone else on our behalf would or would not restrict or redress any content, conduct or potential or purported Terms of Use violation. This paragraph may not be modified, waived or released except by a written agreement, dated and signed by our Chief Executive Officer and dated and signed by the individual or entity to whom the modification, waiver or release is granted.
Registration and Log In
To access certain features or areas of the Site, you may be required to provide personal and/or demographic information as part of a registration or log-in process. In addition, certain features of the Site are only available to our registered users, and to access those areas of the Site you will be required to log in using your username and password.
You agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the applicable registration or log-in form, and you are responsible for keeping such information up-to-date (this includes your contact information, so that we can reliably contact you). The information you submit must describe you (you may not impersonate another person or entity), and you may not sell, share or otherwise transfer your account information.
You are responsible for all activity occurring when the Site is accessed through your account, whether authorized by you or not. Therefore, if you create an account, be sure to protect the confidentiality of your account password. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your password or account information.
If you, as a BeverlySarah vendor, experience a dissolution, merger or other significant change in personnel, then we, in our sole discretion, have the right to determine whether to keep active, transfer or terminate your account, including all client reviews previously associated with such account.
Payments
Billing Policies. You are responsible for paying any and all applicable fees as set forth on our Pricing and Payment Terms at https://www.beverlysarah.com/pricing-payments and applicable taxes associated with the Site in a timely manner with a valid payment method. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars. All payments must be made electronically by the methods specified within the Site. You agree that we may charge your selected payment method for any such fees owed. You are required to keep your billing information current, complete, and accurate (e.g., a change in billing address, credit card number or expiration date) and to notify BeverlySarah if your selected payment method is cancelled (e.g., for loss or theft). BeverlySarah may add new services for additional fees and charges, or add or amend fees and charges for existing services, at any time in its sole discretion. Any change to our pricing or payment terms shall become effective in the billing cycle following notice of such change to you as provided in this Agreement.
The vendors, and not BeverlySarah, are responsible for delivering any purchased goods or performing any booked services. If you, as a User of the Site, choose to enter into a transaction with a vendor, you agree and understand that you will be required to enter into an agreement with such vendor and agree to any terms or conditions which may be imposed by such vendor. As a User and a vendor of the Site, you acknowledge and agree that you, and not BeverlySarah, will be responsible for performing the obligations of such agreements, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.
No Refunds. You may cancel your BeverlySarah account at any time; however, there are no refunds for cancellation except (a) as expressly set forth herein, and/or (b) as required by applicable law. In the event that BeverlySarah suspends or terminates your account or this Agreement, you understand and agree that you shall receive no refund or exchange for any Site Content, any unused time on a subscription, any license or subscription fees for any portion of the Sites, any content or data associated with your account or for anything else.
Charges on Your Account. You are responsible for all charges incurred under your account made by you or anyone who uses your account. If your payment method fails or you are past due on amounts owed, we may collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms. Your account may be deactivated without notice to you if payment is past due, regardless of the dollar amount. You are also responsible for paying any governmental taxes imposed on your use of the Site or any services contained therein, including, but not limited to, sales, use or value-added taxes. To the extent BeverlySarah is obligated to collect such taxes, the applicable tax will be added to your billing account.
Authorization; Payment Processing. You expressly authorize BeverlySarah to debit or credit any monies from the payment method you have chosen. Authorization to charge your chosen payment method account will remain in effect until you cancel or modify your preferences within the Site; provided, however, that such notice will not affect charges submitted before BeverlySarah could reasonably act. The vendor shall be responsible for all fees associated with the processing of the payment method, including payment processing and associated bank fees.
Payment. Purchases made through the Site may be processed through a third party provider. If applicable, you will be provided a notice when entering your payment information directing you to such third party payment service provider’s terms of use and privacy policy and all payments are governed by such terms of use and privacy policy.
Disputes. You agree to contact the User or vendor who purchased or sold the goods or services directly with all inquiries regarding such purchased goods or services. BeverlySarah has no obligation to handle or facilitate the handling of any disputes between Users. For avoidance of doubt, any disputes directly with BeverlySarah shall be handled in accordance with the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use.
Chargebacks. It is the responsibility of the vendor to issue any refunds to Users via the Sites and Users should direct all refund requests to the applicable vendor. BeverlySarah will not be responsible or liable in any way for refunds or errors in issuing refunds in connection with your use of the Sites. Users shall only initiate chargebacks or request refunds in situations where a User has a good faith belief that the charged amount is incorrect, the charge was fraudulent or there was some other error with the billed amount (“Valid Chargeback Request”). If you violate the foregoing, BeverlySarah reserves the right to pursue all remedies available to it, including suspension of your access to the Site. If you initiate a chargeback request that is not a Valid Chargeback Request, and such request is accepted or processed by a credit card company or other entity, you acknowledge and agree that BeverlySarah may charge you for any costs associated with such invalid chargeback requests.
Correcting Mistakes in Payments to Vendors and Customers. We reserve the right to fix any processing errors we discover. We will correct any processing errors by debiting or crediting the payment method used for the erroneous BeverlySarah refund or reimbursement.
Automatic Membership Renewal (“Auto-Renew”).
All BeverlySarah memberships automatically renew for an additional equivalent period at the same term until cancelled by the vendor as provided herein. Without limiting the foregoing, when you sign up, upgrade or renew your membership, you are automatically entered into our auto-renew program. This means that we will charge your selected payment method at the start of each new membership term.
You may cancel your membership by contacting us and requesting cancellation at info@beverlysarah.com. If you are enrolled in our monthly payment plan and you decide to cancel during the membership period, you acknowledge and agree that you will continue to be billed on a monthly basis until your originally scheduled membership expiration date.
Free Memberships. Free memberships are offered on a month to month term as of this writing. There is no guarantee free memberships will continue to be offered and/or offered for free after the agreed upon membership length.
Electronic Communications
The communications between you and us via the Site use electronic means, whether you visit the Site or send us an email, or whether we post notices on the Site or communicate with you via email. For contractual purposes, you consent to receive communications from us in an electronic form and you agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were in writing. The foregoing does not affect your non-waivable rights.
Copyright Infringement Notices
If you are a copyright owner who believes in good faith that your copyrighted material has been reproduced, posted or distributed on the Site in a manner that constitutes copyright infringement, please inform our designated copyright agent by sending written notice by U.S. Mail in accordance with the requirements set out here.

Other reasons for which we may temporarily suspend or permanently deactivate your access to the Site include, but are not limited to: (a) any BeverlySarah member or vendor engaging in any Circumventing Tactics or otherwise violating these Terms of Use; (b) any BeverlySarah member or vendor failing to reply to vendor-alert e-mails in a timely fashion, (c) any BeverlySarah member or vendor falsifying bookings, client information, reviews, or artificially inflating ratings or booking totals, (d) any BeverlySarah member or vendor posting contact information (e.g., website URL links and addresses, email links and addresses and telephone numbers) on said member or vendor’s profile. In the event that we suspend or terminate your access to and/or use of the Site, you will continue to be bound by the Terms of Use that were in effect as of the date of your suspension or termination.
Linking Policies

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which event you agree to cooperate with us in defending such claims.

Applicable Law; No Waiver; Severability
These Terms of Use, and the relationship between you and us, will be governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Use is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, you and we nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to intentions reflected in such provision, and the other provisions of these terms and conditions will remain in full force and effect.
Binding Arbitration

Arbitration means that the Dispute will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury. An arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act applies to this agreement.
Exclusions from Arbitration
YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM FILED BY EITHER PARTY IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE ARBITRATION TERMS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION. WE ALSO BOTH AGREE THAT YOU OR WE MAY BRING SUIT IN COURT TO ENJOIN INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

You and we agree to treat the arbitration proceedings and any related discovery confidential. The terms of this Section govern in the event they conflict with the rules of the AAA.
Location of Arbitration
The arbitration proceedings shall be held in Los Angeles County, California, unless you can demonstrate that arbitration in Los Angeles County would create an undue burden to you. If you can demonstrate that arbitration in Los Angeles County would create an undue burden to you, we may allow you to initiate the arbitration in your home state.
Class Action Waiver
YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE SPECIFICALLY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER SITE USERS.
<strongSeverability
If any clause within this Section (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Section, and the remainder of this Section will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Section will be unenforceable, the Dispute will be decided by a court, and you and we each agree to waive in that instance, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any trial by jury.
Continuation
This Section shall survive any termination of the provision of the associated services to you.
Governing Jurisdiction
ANY DISPUTE NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION AND NOT INITIATED IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT WILL BE LITIGATED BY EITHER PARTY IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION ONLY IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF LOS ANGELES OR, IF SUCH COURT WOULD NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER THE MATTER, THEN ONLY IN A CALIFORNIA STATE COURT. EACH PARTY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THESE COURTS AND AGREES NOT TO COMMENCE ANY LEGAL ACTION UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TERMS OF USE IN ANY OTHER COURT OR FORUM.
