7. TERM AND TERMINATION; ACCOUNT DELETION
7.1 Term. These Terms begin on the date you first use the Purple Patch Service and continue as long as you have an account with us and/or continue to use the Purple Patch Service.
7.2 Termination. Purple Patch may, in Purple Patch’s sole discretion, suspend, disable, or delete your account (or any part thereof) or block or remove any User Content (defined below) that you submitted, for any lawful reason, including if Purple Patch determines that you have violated these Terms or that your conduct or User Content would tend to damage Purple Patch’s reputation or goodwill. If Purple Patch deletes your account, you may not re-register for or use the Purple Patch Service under any other user name or profile. Purple Patch may block your access to the Purple Patch Service to prevent re-registration.
7.3 Effect of Termination / Account Deletion. Upon termination of these Terms all licenses granted by Purple Patch will terminate. The following sections survive termination: Privacy, User Content, Indemnification, No Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Safety Warnings, Intellectual Property, Arbitration & Class Action Waiver, Governing Law and all general provisions. In the event of account deletion for any reason, User Content may no longer be available and Purple Patch is not responsible for the deletion or loss of such User Content. For clarity, if you cancel your Subscription or it is terminated for any reason, you will lose access to all live and on-demand trainings and all other Content or features provided through the Purple Patch Service. Purple Patch, in its sole discretion, may make available a very limited amount of Content or features to non-subscribers from time to time, and any use of that Content is governed by these Terms.

Content includes, without limitation, User Content.
Any User Content, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, is the sole responsibility of the person who originated such User Content. You represent that all User Content submitted by or on behalf of you is accurate, complete, up-to-date, and in compliance with these Terms and with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. You acknowledge that all Content, including User Content, accessed by you using the Purple Patch Service is at your own risk and you will be solely responsible for any damage or loss to you or any other party resulting therefrom. To the full extent permitted by law, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees with respect to any Content that you access on or through the Purple Patch Service.
As between you and Purple Patch, you represent that you own (or have all rights necessary to grant Purple Patch the rights below to) all User Content that you submit to the Purple Patch Service, and that Purple Patch will not need to obtain licenses from any third party or pay royalties to any third party in order to use such User Content. You grant Purple Patch a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), transferable royalty-free license and right to use, copy, transmit, distribute, publicly perform and display (through all media now known or later created), edit, modify, and make derivative works from your User Content (including, without limitation, translations) for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to you. In addition, you waive any so-called “moral rights” or rights of privacy or publicity in your User Content. You further grant all users of the Purple Patch Service permission to view your User Content for their personal, non-commercial purposes. If you make suggestions to Purple Patch or through the Purple Patch Service about improving or adding new features or products to the Purple Patch Service or you otherwise provide feedback or testimonials, you hereby grant to Purple Patch a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), transferable royalty-free license and right to use, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon and otherwise exploit your suggestions, feedback and testimonials for any purpose, without any notice, compensation or other obligation to you.
You can remove your User Content by specifically deleting it. However, in certain instances, some of your User Content (such as posts or comments you make) may not be completely removed and copies of your User Content may continue to exist on the Purple Patch Service. We are not responsible or liable for the removal or deletion of (or the failure to remove or delete) any of your User Content.

In addition, you will retain the right to opt out of arbitration entirely and litigate any Dispute if you provide us with written notice of your desire to do so by regular mail sent to the attention of Purple Patch’s Legal Department at the Purple Patch address set out below within 30 days following the date you first agree to these Terms.
20.3 Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org. If your claim is for U.S. $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 telephonic or video-conference hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds U.S. $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.
20.4 Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Purple Patch will pay for all filing, administration and arbitrator fees and expenses if your Dispute is for less than U.S. $10,000, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute to be frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration, we will pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.
20.5 Class Action Waiver. YOU AND PURPLE PATCH AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 20 shall be null and void.
20.6 Effect of Changes on Arbitration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 25 (Modification), if Purple Patch changes any of the terms of this Section 20 after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Effective Date” above or the date of Purple Patch’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Purple Patch in accordance with the terms of this Section 20 as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
20.7 Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 20.5 above, if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.

Dates by which performance obligations are scheduled to be met will be extended for a period of time equal to the time lost due to any delay so caused.
