YOUR AGREEMENT WITH US REGARDING COMPLIANCE WITH THESE TERMS OF SERVICE BECOMES EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UPON COMMENCEMENT OF YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM.
These Terms of Service provide that all disputes between you and hopps will be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under or relating to this contract, except for matters that may be taken to small claims court.

Venues are solely responsible for ensuring that Patrons are of legal age to consume alcohol. We are not responsible for the conduct of any member of the Platform, either online or offline.

Patron will be required to present a government-issued identification card, evidencing Patron’s age, consistent with applicable legal requirements, at Venue. If Patron does not comply with these terms, Patron agrees that the alcoholic beverage(s) will not be released to Patron, and Patron may forfeit the cost of such beverages. Venue is also responsible complying with applicable local, federal, and state laws and to ensure that Patrons who are intoxicated are not serviced alcohol.
6. Disputes Between Venues and Patrons

Payments are non-disputable via the Platform once payment has been released to the Venue. In the case of a dispute after the payment has been released, Patrons must directly contact the Venue to request refunds.
For all disputes, the maximum refund amount Users can be awarded is the full amount of the invoice which is disputed.

We reserve the right to charge additional fees on top of the prices set by the Venue and you acknowledge that we have no obligation to itemize costs, profits, or margins when publishing such prices. We reserve the right to change such prices at any time in our sole discretion.

13. Guarantee and Warranty

All services are provided “as is,” with no warranties or guarantees whatsoever. hopps expressly disclaims to the fullest extent permitted by law all express, implied, statutory, and other warranties, guarantees, or representations, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement of proprietary and intellectual property rights. Without limitation, hopps makes no warranty or guarantee that the Platform will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. HOPPS RELIES ON VENUES TO PROVIDE ACCURATE ALLERGEN AND DIETARY INFORMATION AND GENERAL PRODUCT SAFETY. HOPPS DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT SUCH INFORMATION ACCESSIBLE THROUGH THE PLATFORM IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, CURRENT OR ERROR-FREE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION MENUS, NUTRITIONAL AND ALLERGEN INFORMATION, PHOTOS, FOOD QUALITY OR DESCRIPTIONS, PRICING, HOURS OF OPERATION, OR REVIEWS. ALL CONTENT IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THE RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE PLATFORM IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION NUTRITIONAL AND ALLERGEN INFORMATION. hopps does not warrant the quality or accuracy of any items, goods, payments or deliverables provided and/or services rendered by its Users and does not warrant that any such items, goods, payments, or deliverables and services will be provided and/or rendered in a timely or professional manner. Additionally, hopps does not guarantee that Users using the “hopp the line” feature of the Platform will receive their orders from Venue before Users who do not use this feature or otherwise sooner than they would have received such order without this function, although hopps will use commercial reasonable efforts to try and expedite those orders. Users understand and agree that any interaction with other Users is at their own discretion and risk and that Users will be solely responsible for any damages that may result. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to you.
14. Release
In the event that you have a dispute with a User of the Platform, including with a Venue or Patron, you agree to release hopps (including our affiliates and each of our respective officers, directors, employees, agents, shareholders, and suppliers) from claims, demands and damages of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected to such disputes with other users or to your use of the Platform or participation in the services. Additionally, you expressly waive any rights you may have under California Civil Code Section 1542 (or analogous laws of other states), which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other users.
15. Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT WILL HOPPS BE LIABLE TO ANY PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE WHATSOEVER RELATED TO OR ARISING FROM THE PLATFORM OR ANY USE OF THE PLATFORM, OR OF ANY SITE OR RESOURCE LINKED TO, REFERENCED, OR ACCESSED THROUGH THE PLATFORM, OR FOR THE USE OR DOWNLOADING OF, OR ACCESS TO, ANY MATERIALS, INFORMATION, PRODUCTS, OR SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOST SAVINGS OR LOSS OF PROGRAMS OR OTHER DATA, EVEN IF HOPPS IS EXPRESSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS EXCLUSION AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY APPLIES TO ALL CAUSES OF ACTION, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORIES.
16. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
In the interest of resolving disputes between you and hopps in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and hopps agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms of Service will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited (if any) review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND HOPPS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.
Despite the provisions of the preceding paragraph, nothing in these Terms of Service will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
Arbitrator
Any arbitration between you and hopps will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting hopps at support@hoppstech.com.
Notice; Process
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if such other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice”). hopps’s address for Notice is: hopps Inc., 2755 SAN BRUNO AVE #347370 SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94134. The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or hopps may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or hopps must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, hopps will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by hopps in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) $1,000.
Fees and Procedure
The parties to the arbitration shall each pay an equal share of the costs and expenses of such arbitration, and each party shall separately pay for its respective counsel fees and expenses; provided, however, that the arbitrator may award attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party, except as prohibited by law. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms of Services, hopps will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in San Francisco, California, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse hopps for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses 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 arbitrator may grant injunctions and other relief. The arbitrator shall administer and conduct any arbitration in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction in which the dispute arose, including civil procedure rules, and the arbitrator shall apply the substantive and procedural law of the jurisdiction in which the dispute arose. To the extent that the AAA Rules conflict with local law, local law shall take preference. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive, and binding on the parties to the arbitration. The parties agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration shall be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the arbitration award.
No Class Actions
YOU AND HOPPS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR MEMBER OF ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING except that users may bring a proceeding as a private attorney general, if and as allowed by law. Further, unless both you and hopps agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. Nothing in this Agreement infringes upon any rights a User may have under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including any rights prohibiting compulsory arbitration.
Modifications to this Arbitration Provision
If hopps makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to hopps’s address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to hopps’s address for Notice, in which case your account with hopps will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
Enforceability
If the “No Class Actions” section is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 16 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 16 will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 17 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms of Service.
Right to Opt Out of Arbitration
You may submit a statement notifying hopps that you wish to opt out and not be subject to arbitration under this section. Should you desire to opt out, you must notify hopps of your intention to opt out by submitting a written notice, which may be via email to support@hoppstech.com, stating that you are opting out of this section. In order to be effective, your opt out notice must be provided within thirty (30) days of your agreeing to these Terms. Should you timely opt out of this section, you may pursue available legal remedies and will not be required to arbitrate claims.
17. Choice of Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States of America, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles, except as may be otherwise provided in supplemental terms applicable to your region. Any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be adjudicated in San Francisco, California.
18. Termination of Service
hopps may terminate your privilege to use or access the Platform immediately and without notice for any reason whatsoever. Upon such termination, you must immediately cease accessing or using the Platform and agree not to access or make use of, or attempt to use, the Platform. Furthermore, you acknowledge that hopps reserves the right to take action -- technical, legal or otherwise -- to block, nullify or deny your ability to access the Platform. You understand that hopps may exercise this right in its sole discretion, and this right shall be in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available to hopps.
