6. Terms of Sale
If you are a Consumer User, this Section governs your purchase of the Services. By purchasing
our Services you agree to the terms set forth in this Section 6 (the “Terms of Sale”).
(a) Subscriptions. To use our Services you will be required to enroll in a payment plan involving
automatic renewal (a “Recurring Subscription”). If you enroll in a Recurring Subscription,
you authorize TeraDact to maintain your account information and charge that account
automatically upon the renewal with no further action required by you. The length of your
Recurring Subscription will be provided when you make your purchase. Your Recurring Subscription will automatically renew unless you cancel it. In the event that TeraDact is
unable to charge your account as authorized by you when you enrolled in a Recurring
Subscription, TeraDact may in its sole discretion (i) bill you for your Services and suspend
your access to the Services until payment is received or (ii) seek to update your account
information through third-party sources (i.e., your bank or a payment processor) to
continue charging your account as authorized by you. You may cancel your subscription
through your account, or by visiting www.teradact.com/cancellation/. You may cancel a
Recurring Subscription at any time, but if you cancel your Recurring Subscription before the
end of the current subscription period, we will not refund any subscription fees already paid
to us. Following any cancellation, however, you will continue to have access to the
applicable Services through the end of your current subscription period. TeraDact may
change the prices charged for Recurring Subscriptions at any time by posting updated
pricing through the Services; provided, however, that the prices for your Recurring
Subscription will remain in force for the duration of the subscription period for which you
have paid. After that period ends, your use of the applicable Services will be charged at the
then-current subscription price. If you do not agree to these price changes, you must cancel
your Recurring Subscription at least 24 hours before the changes take effect. If you do not
cancel, your Recurring Subscription will automatically renew at the then-current price at the
time of renewal and for the same duration as the initial subscription term, and TeraDact will
charge your on-file payment card or method on the first day of the renewal of the
subscription term.
(b) Eligibility. To complete your purchase, you must have a valid billing and shipping address
within a country that can be selected as part of the checkout process on the Site (the
“Territory”). We make no promise that Services available on the Site are appropriate or
available for use in locations outside the Territory.
(c )Price. Prices shown on the Site exclude all taxes. Taxes will be added to the amount of your
purchase and itemized on the checkout page. You will have an opportunity to review taxes
before you confirm your purchase. All prices on the Site are subject to change at any time
without notice.
(d) Payment. If you wish to make a transaction, you may be asked to supply certain relevant
information, such as your payment card number and its expiration date, and your billing
address, to us or our payment processors. You represent and warrant that you have the
right to use any payment card that you submit in connection with a transaction. We may
receive updated information from your issuing bank or our payment service provider about
any payment method you have stored with us. You authorize us to charge your payment
method, including any updated payment method information we receive, for any charges
you are responsible for under these Terms. Verification of information may be required
prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any transaction. You will pay all charges
incurred by you or on your behalf through the Services, at the prices in effect when such
charges are incurred, including all taxes applicable to your transactions. In the event legal action is necessary to collect on balances due, you will reimburse us and our vendors or agents for all expenses incurred to recover sums due, including attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses.
(e) Order Confirmation; Acceptance. You will have the opportunity to review and confirm your
order, including payment method and other details of your order. We will display or send a
notice when we ultimately accept your order, and our acceptance will be complete at the
time we display or send the formal acceptance notice. Payment must be received by us
before our acceptance of an order.
(f) Cancellation. We reserve the right to cancel any subscription order. For example, if there
are errors on the Site or made in connection with your order or inaccuracies in Services,
pricing information, or availability, we reserve the right to correct the error and charge you
the correct price or cancel your order. We will contact you if any portion of your order is
canceled or if additional information is required to accept your order.

the available quantity of or discontinue making available any Service; to impose conditions
on the honoring of any coupon, discount, or similar promotion; to bar any user from making
any transaction; to alter the payment option for Services; and to refuse to provide any user

“Promotions”) made available through the Services may be governed by rules that are separate
from these Terms. If you participate in any Promotions, please review the applicable rules as
well as our Privacy Policy https://www.teradact.com/privacy-policy/. If the rules for a
Promotion conflict with these Terms, the Promotion rules will govern.

TeraDact and our subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of our respective officers, directors,

and against any losses, liabilities, claims, demands, damages, expenses or costs arising out of or
related to (a) your access to or use of the Services; (b) your User Content or Feedback; (c ) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation, misappropriation, or infringement of any rights of another (including intellectual property rights or privacy rights); or (e) your conduct in connection with the Service.

The TeraDact Parties will have control of the defense or settlement, at TeraDact’s sole option, of any third-party claims. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written agreement between you and TeraDact or the other TeraDact Parties.
14. Disclaimers
Your use of our Services and any content or materials provided therein or therewith
(including the Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials) is at your sole risk. Except as
otherwise provided in a writing by us and to the fullest extent permitted under applicable
law, our Services, and any content or materials provided therein or therewith (including the
Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials) are provided “as is” and “as available”
without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. TeraDact disclaims all warranties
with respect to the foregoing, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. In addition, TeraDact does not represent or
warrant that our Services or any content provided therein or therewith (including the Third-
Party Content and Third-Party Materials) are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-
free or that access to our Services or any content provided therein or therewith (including the
Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials) will be uninterrupted. While TeraDact
attempts to make your use of our Services and any content provided therein or therewith
(including the Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials) safe, we cannot and do not
represent or warrant that our Services or any content provided therein or therewith
(including the Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials) or our servers are free of
viruses or other harmful components or content or materials. You assume the entire risk as to
the quality and performance of the Services and any content provided therein or therewith
(including the Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials). All disclaimers of any kind
(including in this section and elsewhere in these Terms) are made for the benefit of TeraDact,
TeraDact Parties, and TeraDact’s respective shareholders, agents, representatives, licensors,
suppliers, and service providers, as well as their respective successors and assigns.
15. Limitation of Liability
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, TeraDact and the other TeraDact Parties
will not be liable to you under any theory of liability—whether based in contract, tort,
negligence, warranty, or otherwise—for any indirect, consequential, incidental, or special
damages or lost profits, even if TeraDact or the other TeraDact Parties have been advised
of the possibility of such damages.
(b) The total liability of TeraDact and the other TeraDact Parties for any claim arising out of or
relating to these Terms or our Services, regardless of the form of the action, is limited to
the greater of $100 and the amount paid by you to use our Services in the 12 month
period immediately preceding the claim.
(c ) The limitations set forth in this Section 14 will not limit or exclude liability for the gross
negligence, fraud, or intentional misconduct of TeraDact or the other TeraDact Parties or
for any other matters in which liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable
law. Additionally, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
16. Release
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release TeraDact and the other TeraDact
Parties from responsibility, liability, claims, demands, and/or damages (actual and
consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including claims of negligence),
arising out of or related to disputes between users and the acts or omissions of third parties. If
you are a consumer who resides in California, you hereby waive your rights under California
Civil Code § 1542, which provides: “A general release does not extend to claims that the
creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of
executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or
her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
17. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND TERADACT TO
ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU AND TERADACT CAN
SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER. ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU AND TERADACT FROM
SUING IN COURT OR HAVING A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND TERADACT AGREE THAT ARBITRATION
WILL BE SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS ARBITRATION, CLASS
ACTION, OR ANY OTHER KIND OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. TERADACT AND YOU ARE
EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY.
YOU AND TERADACT EACH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION ARE
INTENDED TO REDUCE THE FINANCIAL BURDENS ASSOCIATED WITH RESOLVING DISPUTES
AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO DELAY ADJUDICATION OF EITHER PARTY’S CLAIMS.
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW, IN SECTION 16 (j), IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF THE
REQUIREMENT OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
(a) Claims This Section Applies To. This Section 16 applies to all Claims between you and
TeraDact. A “Claim” is any dispute, claim, or controversy (excluding those exceptions listed
in Section 16 (c), below) between you and TeraDact, whether based in contract, tort,
statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, for which either party wishes to
seek legal recourse and that arises from or relates to these Terms, or the Services, including any claims related to the use or operation of the Services, the purchase of any products or services made available through the Services, all privacy or data security claims, and all claims related to the validity, enforceability, or scope of this Section or any portion of it.
(b) Informal Dispute Resolution Before Arbitration. If you believe you have a Claim against
TeraDact or if TeraDact believes it has a Claim against you, you and TeraDact will first
attempt to resolve the Claim informally to try to resolve the Claim more quickly and reduce
costs for both parties. You and TeraDact will make a good-faith effort to negotiate the
resolution of any Claim for 45 days (“Informal Resolution Period”), from the day either
party receives a written notice of a dispute from the other party that satisfies the
requirements of this Section 16 (b) (a “Claimant Notice”). The Informal Resolution Period is
designed to allow the party who has received a Claimant Notice to make a fair, fact-based
offer of settlement if it chooses to do so. The Informal Resolution Period may be extended
by the parties’ mutual written agreement.
You must send any Claimant Notice to TeraDact by certified mail, addressed to TeraDact
Acquisitions, LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 400 W Broadway suite 101-432, Missoula, MT
59802 or by email to [email protected]. TeraDact will send any Claimant Notice to you by
certified mail or email using the contact information you have provided to TeraDact. The
party sending a Claimant Notice (the “Claimant”) will ensure it includes (i) the Claimant’s
name, address, email address, and telephone number; (ii) a description of the nature of and
basis for the Claim, including the date(s) on which the Claim arose and the facts on which
the Claim is based; (iii) the specific relief sought; and (iv) a personally signed statement from
the Claimant themselves(and not their counsel) verifying the accuracy of the contents of the
Claimant Notice.
No arbitration demand (“Arbitration Demand”) may be filed or proceed before a Claimant
Notice is sent and the Informal Resolution Period has concluded. If you or TeraDact files an
Arbitration Demand without complying with the requirements in this Section 16 , including
the requirement to wait for the Informal Resolution Period to conclude, the other party
may seek relief from a court to enjoin such filing and for such other relief as the court
deems proper. The prevailing party in any such action shall be entitled to recover its costs
and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in seeking such relief.
To facilitate the parties’ efforts to reach an efficient resolution of any Claim, the applicable
statutes of limitation will be tolled, and all deadlines associated with arbitration fees
deferred, from the commencement of the Informal Dispute Resolution Process through the
date when suit or arbitration may be filed under these Terms.
(c ) Claims Subject to Binding Arbitration; Exceptions. Except for individual disputes that
qualify for small claims court (provided that the small claims court does not permit class or
similar representative actions or relief) and any disputes exclusively related to the
intellectual property rights of you or TeraDact, including any disputes in which you or
TeraDact seek injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of your or
TeraDact’s intellectual property (“IP Claims”), all Claims, including Claims that are not
related to intellectual property or intellectual property rights but are jointly filed with IP
Claims, that are not resolved in accordance with Section 16 (b) must be resolved by a neutral arbitrator through final and binding arbitration rather than in court. Claims subject to binding arbitration include, without limitation, disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation or application of this arbitration provision, including the enforceability, revocability, or validity of this arbitration provision or any portion of it.
(d) Binding Individual Arbitration. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Section 16 ,
any Claim may be resolved only through binding individual arbitration conducted by the
American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), https://adr.org/, according to the Federal
Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., (“FAA”). If you are a “Consumer,” meaning that you
only use the Services for personal, family, or household purposes, the then-current version
of the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by these Terms (the “Rules”), will
apply to Claims between you and TeraDact. If you are not a Consumer, the then-current
version of the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures, as modified
by these Terms, will apply to Claims between you and TeraDact.
These Terms affect interstate commerce, and the enforceability of this Section 16 will be
substantively and procedurally governed by the FAA to the maximum extent permitted by
law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms, and the Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive
authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any Claim and to grant
any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine
the question of arbitrability. As allowed by applicable law, the arbitrator may only award
legal or equitable remedies that are individual to you or TeraDact to satisfy one of our
individual Claims (that the arbitrator determines are supported by credible relevant
evidence).
(e) Arbitration Procedure and Location. You or TeraDact may initiate arbitration of any Claim
not resolved during the Informal Resolution Period by filing an Arbitration Demand with
AAA in accordance with the Rules.
Instructions for filing a demand with AAA are available on the AAA website or by calling AAA
at 800-778-7879. You will send a copy of any demand for arbitration to TeraDact by
certified mail addressed to TeraDact Acquisitions, LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 400 W
Broadway suite 101-432, Missoula, MT 59802 or by email to [email protected]. TeraDact
will send any demand for arbitration to you by certified mail or, if no physical address has
been provided, by email using the contact information you have provided to TeraDact.
The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator in the English language. You and
TeraDact both agree that the arbitrator will be bound by these Terms.
For Claims in which the Claimant seeks less than USD $10,000, the arbitrator will decide the
matter based solely on written submissions, unless the arbitrator decides that a formal
hearing is necessary. For Claims in which the Claimant seeks USD $10,000 or more, or
smaller matters in which the arbitrator determines a hearing to be necessary, hearings will
be conducted by video or telephone, unless the arbitrator determines an in-person hearing
to be necessary. If an in-person hearing is determined to be necessary, the site of any in-
person hearing will be determined by the applicable Rules.
The arbitrator (not a judge or jury) will resolve all Claims in arbitration. Unless you and
TeraDact agree otherwise, any decision or award will include a written statement stating
the decision of each Claim and the basis for the award, including the arbitrator’s essential
factual and legal findings and conclusions.
Any arbitration decision or award may be enforced as a final judgment by any court of
competent jurisdiction or, if applicable, application may be made to such court for judicial
confirmation of any award and an order of enforcement.
(f) Arbitration Fees. Each party will be responsible for arbitration fees in accordance with the
applicable Rules and these Terms.
(g) Frivolous or Improper Claims. To the extent permitted by applicable law, a Claimant must
pay all costs incurred by the defending party, including any attorney’s fees and arbitration
fees, related to a Claim if an arbitrator determines that (i) the Claim was not warranted by
existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument, (ii) the factual contentions for the Claim lacked
evidentiary support when filed or were unlikely to have evidentiary support after a
reasonable opportunity for further investigation; or (iii) the Claim was filed in arbitration for
any improper purpose, such as to harass the defending party, cause unnecessary delay, or
needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution.
(h) Confidentiality. If you or TeraDact files a Claim in arbitration, you and TeraDact agree to
cooperate to seek from the arbitrator protection for any confidential, proprietary, trade
secret, or otherwise sensitive information, documents, testimony, and other materials that
might be exchanged or the subject of any discovery in the arbitration. You and TeraDact
agree to seek such protection before any such information, documents, testimony, or
materials are exchanged or otherwise become the subject of discovery in the arbitration.
(i) Mass Disputes. If 25 or more Claimant Notices are received by a party that raise similar
Claims and have the same or coordinated counsel, these will be considered a “Mass
Dispute” and the provisions of this Section 16 (i) will apply to all such Claimant Notices. A
Claimant Notice in a Mass Dispute may proceed to arbitration only as set forth below.
- Applicable Rules. Any Arbitration Demands based on these Claimant Notices filed in arbitration shall be subject to the AAA’s then-current Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, as modified by these Terms. Any disputes over whether an Arbitration Demand should be considered part of the Mass Dispute will be decided by the AAA as an administrative matter. The following procedures are intended to supplement the AAA’s Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, and to the extent the procedures conflict with those Rules, to supersede them.
- Initial Arbitrations. The parties shall identify an initial set of 20 Claimant Notices to proceed as Arbitration Demands in order to maximize efficiencies in the management, investigation, and arbitration of the remaining Claimant Notices in the Mass Dispute. The initial set shall be selected as follows. Counsel representing the Claimants in a Mass Dispute must notify the other party in writing (email will suffice) when all or substantially all Claimant Notices for the Mass Dispute have been provided. Counsel for all Claimants and counsel for the responding party each shall then select 10 Claimant Notices to proceed as Arbitration Demands. Claimants shall then file Arbitration Demands for the 20 selected Claimant Notices. No Claimant Notice or Arbitration Demand may be filed or deemed filed, and no related arbitration fees may be assessed, until the Claimant Notice is selected to proceed to arbitration following the process set forth in this Section. A single arbitrator will preside over each Arbitration Demand, and shall preside only over one Arbitration Demand, unless the parties agree otherwise.
- Mediation. Upon conclusion of the 20 Initial Arbitrations (or sooner if the parties agree) and before proceeding with any other Arbitration Demands, the parties must engage in a single mediation applicable to all Claimant Notices in the Mass Dispute. The parties shall have 30 days following the conclusion of the last of the initial arbitrations to agree on a mediator. If they are unable to do so, the AAA may appoint one as an administrative matter. No additional Arbitration Demands may be filed until 30 days after such mediation concludes or 90 days after the appointment of a mediator, whichever is sooner.
- Remaining Claimant Notices and Arbitrations. If mediation concludes with 100 or more unresolved Claimant Notices, any remaining Claimant or the receiving party to a remaining Claimant Notice may opt out of arbitration of all Claimant Notices that were not resolved in the initial 20 Arbitration Demands or mediation. Such an election may only be for all Claimant Notices remaining in the Mass Dispute, not a portion thereof. To be effective, such election must be communicated in writing (email suffices) to counsel for the other party within 30 days of mediation concluding. Claimant Notices released from the arbitration requirement must be resolved according to Section 17 .
If complaints based on Claimant Notices that were released from the arbitrationrequirement are filed in court, the Claimants may seek class treatment, although to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, the putative classes must be limited to those Claimants in the Mass Dispute whose claims remain unresolved, and for which a Claimant Notice was received by the other party. Any party may contest class certification at any stage of the litigation and on any available basis and may raise any other defenses available under applicable law.
If the mediation process concludes with fewer than 100 Claimant Notices remaining or if no timely election to opt out of arbitration is made, the AAA will randomly select 30 Claimant Notices (or the total remaining if less than 30) that comply with Section 16 (b) to proceed in arbitration in the same manner as described in Section 16 (i)(2), above. Once such arbitrations have concluded, the parties will repeat this process until all Claimant Notices in the Mass Dispute have been resolved.
(j) Opting Out of Arbitration. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted a version of these Terms by emailing [email protected]. To be effective, the opt-out notice must be on your own behalf and include your full name, mailing address, and email address. The notice must also clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration in order to be valid. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with Section 17.
(k) Rejection of Modifications to this Section. You may reject any change we make to this Section 16 (except changes to notice addresses) as to you, by emailing [email protected] within 30 days of the date of the change. To be effective, you must send the notice or rejection on your own behalf, and you must include your full name, mailing address, and email address. The notice must clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to Section 16 . You may reject changes to Section 16 only as a whole. You may not reject only certain changes to Section 16 . If you reject changes made to Section 16 , the most recent version of Section 16 that you have not rejected will continue to apply.
(l) Two Years to Assert Claims. To the extent permitted by law, any Claim by you or TeraDact against the other must be included in a Claimant Notice within two years after such Claim arises; otherwise, the Claim is permanently barred, which means that you or TeraDact will no longer have the right to assert that Claim.
(m) Severability. If any portion of this Section 16 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, including but not limited to because it is found to be unconscionable, (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms; (ii) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 16 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 16 ; and (iii) to the extent that any claims may proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, in accordance with these Terms, and not in arbitration. The litigation of those claims will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 16 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 16 will be enforceable.
18. Governing Law
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arises from or relates to these Terms will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Montana, except to the extent preempted by U.S. Federal Law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of Montana or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. [If any dispute, claim, or controversy arises from or relates to these Terms is not subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 16 , then] the state and federal courts located in the County of Missoula, Montana, will have exclusive jurisdiction. You and TeraDact waive any objection to venue in any such courts. If your local law requires that consumer contracts be interpreted subject to local law and enforced in the courts of that jurisdiction, this section may not apply to you only to the extent that local law conflicts with this section.

20. Severability
If any portion of these Terms other than Section 16 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, including but not limited to because it is found to be unconscionable, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of these Terms; and (c) the unenforceable or unlawful provision may be revised to the extent required to render the Terms enforceable or valid, and the rights and responsibilities of the parties will be interpreted and enforced accordingly, so as to preserve the Terms and the intent of the Terms to the fullest possible extent.
21. Export Control
You are responsible for compliance with United States export controls and for any violation of such controls, including any United States embargoes or other federal rules and regulations restricting exports. You represent, warrant and covenant that you are not (a) located in, or a resident or a national of, any country subject to a U.S. government embargo or other restriction, or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country; or (b) on any of the U.S. government lists of restricted end users.
22. Miscellaneous
(a) TeraDact’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Terms reflect the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, representations, statements, and understandings of the parties. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Use of the word “including” will be interpreted to mean “including without limitation.” Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
