PrinciplesUs Service Terms

Last updated January 22, 2024

These PrinciplesUs Service Terms (“Service Terms“) govern Subscribers’ acquisition and use of the PrinciplesUs online products or services (collectively, “PrinciplesUs“) provided by PRIOS, LLC (“PRIOS“, “we” or “us“). Subscribers are the individuals who subscribe to PrinciplesUs (each, a “Subscriber” or “you“). By accepting these Service Terms when subscribing to PrinciplesUs, you agree that these Service Terms, including the arbitration provision in Section 10, apply to you. If you are using PrinciplesUs on behalf of a business or other organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind such entity.

These Service Terms do not alter the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with us. Some of PrinciplesUs products or services may be offered under additional or different terms (“Additional Services“), such as Additional Services provided in connection with an enterprise account. Those additional or different terms for Additional Services (“Additional Terms“) become part of your agreement with us if you use the Additional Services. If there is a conflict between these Service Terms and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control for that conflict. 

Subscribers may purchase the ability to invite other individuals, such as an employee of your organization, to use PrinciplesUs under your PrinciplesUs subscription (each individual, a “User“). All Subscribers are responsible for the use of PrinciplesUs by their Users. If you do not agree to all of these Service Terms, do not subscribe to or otherwise access or use PrinciplesUs.

Section 1. Modifications.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change, modify, add to, supplement or delete any portion of these Service Terms at any time, effective with or without prior notice; provided, however, that we will use reasonable efforts to provide you with notification of any material changes (as determined in our sole discretion) by sending an email or providing a notice through PrinciplesUs. Unless we say otherwise in our notice, the amended Service Terms will be effective immediately, and your continued use of PrinciplesUs after we provide such notice will confirm your acceptance of the changes. We will have no liability or obligation to you or your Users related to any such suspension, cessation or modification or the inability to access or use PrinciplesUs by you or your Users.

In the event of Your Covered Claim or if we reasonably believe that PrinciplesUs may infringe or misappropriate any third party intellectual property rights, we may in our discretion and at no cost to you (x) modify PrinciplesUs to remediate any actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation, provided such modified PrinciplesUs have substantially the same functionality, (y) obtain a license for your continued use of PrinciplesUs, or (z) terminate your PrinciplesUs subscription.

Section 10. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Waiver of Class Action.

For any dispute or claim that you have against PRIOS or relating in any way to PrinciplesUs, you agree to first contact PRIOS and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice“) to PRIOS by email at legal@principles.com or by certified mail addressed to PRIOS, Inc., Attn: Legal Dept., 25 Ford Road, Westport, Connecticut 06880. The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above. If you and PRIOS cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by JAMS or, under the limited circumstances set forth below, in court.

With the exception only of disputes related to the enforcement or validity of our intellectual property rights, all disputes, controversies or claims arising out of or relating to these Service Terms or PrinciplesUs, will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration held in Westport, Connecticut in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules“) of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS“), which are available on the JAMS website and hereby incorporated by reference. You acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or waived your opportunity to read such rules and further waive any claim that such rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

You agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Service Terms or PrinciplesUs is personal to you and us and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. You agree that these Service Terms involves matters affecting interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 10 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA“), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Service Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Service Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. You agree that for any arbitration, the party filing the claim will pay the filing fee and the parties will split the remaining JAMS fees and costs equally. Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. Otherwise, you and we agree that the state or federal courts in Fairfield County, Connecticut have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
