PROMOTIONAL OFFERS

We sometimes offer certain customers various trial or other promotional offers, which are subject to the Terms except as otherwise stated in the promotional offers. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to determine your eligibility. Trial and promotional offers may, at any time (through your Account Settings), choose not to continue to paid membership by cancelling prior to the end of the trial or promotional period. If a trial offer or a promotion requires you to have a valid payment instrument on file, such as a credit card or other permitted payment method, we may validate that payment method including by requesting a temporary authorization from the financial institution issuing your payment instrument. If we determine that your payment instrument is invalid, without limiting any of our other rights, we may revoke your access to the Services and any benefits you may have received as part of the offer.

FEES AND RENEWAL

Fees for Subscriptions and other Services will be stated at the time of your purchase or sign-up, as applicable, and provided on our Site. The fees for our Services, including Subscriptions, may change at any time. For Subscription Services, the applicable fees will depend on the type of subscription that You purchase, and the duration of the subscription Fees may be subject to tax, collected by Us or a third party through which You transact, and are non-refundable except in the specific circumstances described in these Terms. We only accept credit cards for payment of Your Service fees. The fee for the Services will be charged directly on Your credit card and You agree to pay the charges applicable to Your selected Services, as well as any applicable taxes.

If your Subscription or Service involves a recurring payment of a fee (including a renewal), unless you notify us before a charge that you want to cancel or do not want to automatically renew your Service or Subscription, You understand it will automatically continue and You authorize Us, or a third party through which You transact (without notice to You, unless required by applicable law) to collect the then-applicable fees and any taxes, using any credit card We have on record for You. You must contact ANR Tech Support if You do not wish to renew Your Subscription and/or Service; if You do not contact ANR Tech Support, the Subscription and/or Service that You selected will automatically renew for the same subscription duration that You initially selected, at ANR Tech Support’s then-applicable fees.

If all credit cards We have on file for You are declined for payment of Your Subscription and/or Service fees, We may cancel Subscription and/or Service, as applicable, unless You provide Us with a new credit card. If You provide Us with a new credit card and are successfully charged before Your Service or Subscription is cancelled, Your new Service or Subscription period will be based on the original renewal date and not the date of the successful charge.

SERVICE AND SUBSCRIPTION CANCELLATION

You may cancel your Subscriptions and/or Services by visiting your account details page provided on ANR Tech Support (your “Account “) and adjusting your settings and Subscription and/or Service preferences, or by contacting our Customer Service team at (772) 242-0694.

Otherwise, the fees for Your Subscription and/or Services are not refundable.

CHANGES TO THE SERVICES

We may, in our discretion, modify, terminate, change, suspend or discontinue the Terms and all elements of them and any aspect of the Service, including any aspects of the Individual Services, Subscriptions, or any trials or promotional offers, without notice to you. If any change to the Terms is found invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that change is severable and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining changes and the remainder of the Terms. Your continued use of the Service after we change the Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to any changes, you must not use the Service and must cancel the Services.

TERMINATION BY US

Our business may change over time, and we reserve the right to cancel the Services, including any Subscription or Individual Service, in whole or in part, and to terminate use of the Service at our discretion without notice. If we do so, we may refund the fees paid for the applicable Services for the time period, if any, after termination of the Services, unless we terminate your membership for conduct that we determine, in our discretion, violates the Terms, violates any applicable law, involves fraud or misuse of the Service, or is harmful to our interests or another user. (See section on “Restrictions and Prohibited Activities” below) Other than providing a refund when we terminate the Services for our convenience, We will not be liable to You or any third-party for termination of the Services for any reason.

(See section on “Restrictions and Prohibited Activities” below) Other than providing a refund when we terminate the Services for our convenience, We will not be liable to You or any third-party for termination of the Services for any reason.

LIMITED WARRANTY

If You have purchased an Individual Service from ANR Tech Support, then the following warranty applies: if We are not able to answer Your question or resolve Your technology problem and You have complied with all of Your obligations in these Terms, We will not charge You a fee for the Individual Service.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION

DEFINITIONS

As used in this Arbitration Provision, “Claims” means all claims, disputes, or controversies between You and Us of any nature or kind, whether pre-existing, present, or future, that arise from or relate to the Services. This includes but is not limited to disagreements about the validity, enforceability, or scope of this Arbitration Provision.

INFORMAL EFFORTS TO RESOLVE DISPUTE

If a dispute arises between You and ANR Tech Support, You should first attempt to resolve it by contacting Our Customer Service Center at (772) 242-0694 or by sending the details of Your complaint, including Your contact information for a response, to the address or fax number listed below. We will attempt in good faith to resolve all Claims submitted this way within fifteen (15) days of receipt.

AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE; RIGHT TO OPT OUT

If informal efforts to resolve Claims fail or are not used, You agree that any and all Claims will be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration as described herein, except that: (i) You may assert Claims in a small claims court in the United States if Your Claims meet the court’s jurisdictional requirements; and (ii) either party may pursue Claims and relief in a court of competent jurisdiction regarding the validity and/or infringement of a party’s intellectual property rights. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS VERY LIMITED. HOWEVER, AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD TO YOU ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THE SAME DAMAGES AND FORMS OF RELIEF AS A COURT COULD (INCLUDING INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF AS WELL AS STATUTORY DAMAGES), AND MUST FOLLOW THE LAW AND TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AS A COURT WOULD. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS AND PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED.IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU MUST NOTIFY ANR TECH SUPPORT IN WRITING WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST ACCEPT OR HAVE ACCESS TO THIS AGREEMENT BY MAILING OR FAXING AN OPT-OUT REQUEST TO OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER LISTED BELOW. YOUR WRITTEN NOTIFICATION MUST INCLUDE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, THE EMAIL ADDRESS YOU USED TO REGISTER WITH ANR TECH SUPPORT, AND A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH US THROUGH ARBITRATION. YOUR DECISION TO OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION WILL HAVE NO ADVERSE EFFECT ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US OR THE DELIVERY OF SERVICES TO YOU BY US. IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY NOTIFIED US OF YOUR DECISION TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION, YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO SO AGAIN.

ARBITRATION FEES

The allocation and payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules which limit the amount a consumer is required to pay. If the arbitrator determines that Your Claims are not frivolous applying the standards of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, We agree to reimburse You the amount of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees You are required to pay for the arbitration.

ARBITRATION RULES

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules if You are a resident of the United States; if Your use of the Services has been principally for personal or household use, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will also apply. If You are a resident of a country other than the United States, the arbitration will be conducted by the AAA’s International Centre for Dispute Resolution in New York, NY, under its rules for international arbitration, and You and We agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the U.S. federal court in New York, NY, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the applicable arbitration rules and this Arbitration Provision, this Arbitration Provision shall govern and control.The arbitration will be conducted in the English language by a single arbitrator who is an attorney-at-law with experience in consumer and technology transactions and who is also a member of the AAA National Roster of Arbitrators. If You and We can’t agree on a mutually acceptable arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the arbitration is initiated, then the AAA will pick a neutral arbitrator who meets the qualifications. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org, or by calling 1-800-778-7879 from inside the United States or +1-212-484-4181 from outside the United States.

INITIATING ARBITRATION

To begin an arbitration proceeding, You must follow the procedures specified by the applicable AAA rules as described on their website at www.adr.org.

TIME RESTRICTION

YOU MUST FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE AAA OR A PERMITTED COURT WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE DATE OF THE OCCURRENCE OF THE EVENT OR FACTS GIVING RISE TO A CLAIM, OR YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE ANY CLAIM BASED UPON SUCH EVENT, FACTS OR DISPUTE.

ARBITRATION PROCESS

Because appearing in person for arbitration can be unduly burdensome in the circumstances, arbitration under this Arbitration Provision shall not require any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless mutually agreed. Either or both parties may participate by written submissions, telephone calls, or other means of remote communication as allowed by the arbitrator. The arbitration proceedings will be conducted in the English language at a location designated by the AAA that is the most convenient for You. The arbitration can only decide Claim(s) between You and Us, and may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons that may have similar claims. There shall be no pre-arbitration discovery except as provided for in the applicable AAA rules. The arbitrator will honor claims of privilege recognized by law and will take reasonable steps to protect customer account information and other confidential or proprietary information. In conducting the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator will apply the law of the State of California (without regard to its conflicts of law provisions) including U.S. federal law for matters covered by federal law (e.g. the Federal Arbitration Act). At the request of any party, the arbitrator shall provide a brief written explanation of the basis for the decision and award. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding on the parties except for any right to appeal under the AAA rules or the Federal Arbitration Act.

RECOVERY AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES

If the arbitrator rules in Your favor on the merits of any Claim You bring against Us and issues You an award that is greater in monetary value than Our last written settlement offer made to You before written submissions are made to the arbitrator, then We will (i) pay You 150% of Your arbitration damages award, up to $1,000 over and above Your damages award; and (ii) pay Your attorneys, if any, the amount of attorneys’ fees, and reimburse any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that You or Your attorney reasonably incurred for investigating, preparing, and pursuing Your Claim in arbitration. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of such fees, expenses, and the alternative payment and the attorney premium at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits. The right to attorneys’ fees and expenses discussed above supplements any right to attorneys’ fees and expenses You may have under applicable law, although You may not recover duplicative awards of attorneys’ fees or costs. If Your use of the Services was principally for personal or household use, ANR Tech Support waives any right it may have to seek an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses from You in connection with any arbitration of Claims between Us.

ARBITRATION CONFIDENTIALITY

You and We shall keep confidential any information exchanged during the arbitration as well as the decision of the arbitrator made with respect to any Claim(s) arbitrated under this Arbitration Provision and, with the exception of disclosure to Your or Our attorneys, accountants, auditors, and other legal or financial advisors, neither party shall disclose such information or decision to any other person unless required to do so by law.

CONTINUING OBLIGATION TO ARBITRATE; SEVERABILITY

This Arbitration Provision shall survive termination of Your access to or use of any Services and related agreements. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable at law, such invalid or unenforceable provision will be interpreted, construed or reformed to the extent required to make it valid and enforceable, and this shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision.

INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

The foregoing provision regarding arbitration will not apply to any legal action taken by ANR Tech Support to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with any loss, cost, or damage (or any threatened or potential loss, cost, or damage) relating to the Site, any Content, the Services,  ANR Tech Support’s intellectual property rights, ANR Tech Support’s operations, and/or ANR Tech Support’s products or services.

IF YOU CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE INCURRED ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES, OR INJURIES IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SITE, THE CONTENT, OR THE SERVICES, THEN THE LOSSES, DAMAGES, AND INJURIES WILL NOT BE IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE YOU TO AN INJUNCTION OR TO OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF OF ANY KIND.  YOU UNDERSTAND, ACKNOWLEDGE, AND AGREE THAT THIS MEANS THAT, IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR CLAIM, YOU WILL NOT SEEK, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN, ANY COURT ORDER OR OTHER ACTION THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH OR PREVENT ANR TECH SUPPORT FROM MAINTAINING ITS STANDARD BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND FROM CONTINUING TO PROVIDE THE SITE, THE CONTENT, AND THE SERVICES TO ITS OTHER CUSTOMERS,  CLIENTS, AND END-USERS.
