Account registration requires you to submit to Newtrul certain information specific to your Account, such as (if applicable to your type of account): your name, address, valid payment information, and other information depending on the type of Account (as further outlined in the Privacy Policy). By registering an Account, you accept full responsibility for all use of your Account and for any actions that arise from or take place from the use of your Account, whether or not you have authorized such actions or use. You agree to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date information in your Account.

Newtrul reserves the right to refuse registration of an Account, or cancel any account name, in its sole discretion.

Any failure to comply with the above constitutes a breach of these Terms, which may result in immediate termination of your Account.

Termination of Account

Newtrul has the right to block your current or future use of the Services, or terminate these Terms and your Account, if you violate or fail to comply with any of your obligations or requirements under these Terms, or under any other agreement with Newtrul, including any Account Agreement, or pursuant to any Newtrul policy, including the Privacy Policy.

In addition, an Account Agreement may provide that any termination of these Terms with you, or of your Account, shall result in a termination of the Account Agreement and your right to access the applicable Services governed thereby.

Account Requirements and Conduct

These Terms are governed by the laws in force in the State of Texas, and shall be interpreted according to the internal laws of such State, without reference to its conflicts of laws or choice of law principles. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Texas, in each case located in the City of Plano, and each party irrevocably submits to the consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, agrees to accept service of process by mail, and waives any jurisdictional or venue defenses otherwise available; provided that actions for equitable relief, specific performance, or the like may be brought where necessary for enforcement. If any action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the rights arising out of or relating to these Terms, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees, costs, and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

In the case of any direct conflict between these Terms and any Account Agreement with respect to the choice of law and forum selection provisions set forth in each, each agreement shall be governed by the terms thereof.

Arbitration

At Newtrul’s or your election, all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services that are not resolved by mutual agreement may be resolved by binding arbitration to be conducted before JAMS, or its successor. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, arbitration will be held in Washington, D.C. before a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, or if the parties cannot mutually agree, a single arbitrator appointed by JAMS, and will be conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by JAMS unless specifically modified in these Terms. The arbitration must commence within forty-five (45) days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by either party. The arbitrator’s decision and award will be made and delivered within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of the arbitration and within six (6) months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator will not have the power to award damages in excess of the limitation on actual compensatory, direct damages set forth in these Terms and may not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages that are specifically excluded under these Terms, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages. The arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, assess costs and expenses (including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing part) against any party to a proceeding. Any party refusing to comply with an order of the arbitrators will be liable for costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the other party in enforcing the award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm. The provisions of this arbitration section will be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Evidence of Contract

A printed version of these Terms, and of any notice given in electronic form, shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

Notice, Consent to Electronic Notice, Records and Disclosures

Newtrul may give notice by means of a general notice on the Services, electronic mail to your email address in your Account, telephone or text message to any phone number provided in connection with your account, or by written communication sent by first class mail or pre-paid post to any address connected with your Account. Such notice shall be deemed to have been given upon the expiration of 48 hours after mailing or posting (if sent by first class mail or pre-paid post) or 12 hours after sending (if sent by email or telephone). You may give notice to Newtrul only by first class mail or pre-paid post to Newtrul, Inc., 500 W Madison St Ste 1000, Chicago, IL 60661, with such notice deemed given when received by Newtrul.=

Without limitation to the foregoing, certain laws require that information, such as legal notices or disclosures, relating to you be provided or made available in writing ("Records"). Your privilege of using the Service and holding an Account is conditioned upon your consent to Newtrul's policy of providing only electronic Records, when required by applicable law, to the email address you provide. You further agree that if such electronic notice or other Records are sent by Newtrul to the email address or SMS/text number you provide, you are deemed to have received such notice in a legally effective manner. While generally you do have the right to have Records provided or made available on paper or in non-electronic form, and the right to withdraw your consent to have the Records provided or made available in electronic form, your sole method of withdrawing such consent is to terminate your Account and to cease to use the Service.

General
