GoParrot provides a method of communication between you and third party service providers, including but not limited to restaurants and retail stores. To use this Service, you will interface with GoParrot software via a chat dialogue, a website or an app to place an order with a third-party provider. We will prompt you to either input payment or pay upon pick up. If you input payment information, it will be saved for future purchases using the software.
ALL THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS OPERATE INDEPENDENTLY FROM GOPARROT. GOPARROT WILL NOT ASSESS THE SUITABILITY, LEGALITY, OR ABILITY OF ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER.

11. Limitation of Liability
GOPARROT AND THE OTHER GOPARROT PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY—WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE—FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE OR KIND, INCLUDING DAMAGES RELATING TO HARM TO PERSON (INCLUDING DEATH) AND HARM TO PROPERTY, EVEN IF GOPARROT OR THE OTHER GOPARROT PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE EXTENT A CLAIM FOR LIABILITY (INCLUDING THE THEORIES LISTED ABOVE) ARISE FROM THE ACTIONS RELATING TO THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, THEN GOPARROT AND OTHER GOPARROT PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER ANY OF THE THEORIES ABOVE AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTION RELATING TO GROSS NEGLIGENCE, INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT, AND FRAUD OF THE THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER.
THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF GOPARROT AND THE OTHER GOPARROT 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 AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU TO ACCESS OR USE OUR SERVICES.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release GoParrot and the other GoParrot Parties from responsibility, liability, claims, demands, and/or damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including, but not limited to, claims of negligence, personal injury, death, or harm to property), arising out of or related to disputes between users and the acts or omissions of third parties. You expressly waive any rights you may have under California Civil Code §1542 as well as any other statute or common law principles that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.
13. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with GoParrot and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
Except for small claims disputes in which you or GoParrot seek to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or GoParrot seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and GoParrot waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services resolved in court. Instead, all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration held in Manhattan County, New York 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 either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
You and GoParrot agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and GoParrot 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 and GoParrot agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 14 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 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 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 and GoParrot agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and GoParrot will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by GoParrot, Goparrot will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and GoParrot agree that the state or federal courts of the State of New York and the United States sitting in Manhattan County, New York have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 14 by emailing [email protected]. In order to be effective, the opt out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 14.
14. Governing Law and Venue
THESE TERMS AND YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF OUR SERVICES WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW RULES OR PRINCIPLES (WHETHER OF NEW YORK OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE PARTIES THAT IS NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION OR CANNOT BE HEARD IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT WILL BE RESOLVED IN THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES, RESPECTIVELY, SITTING IN MANHATTAN COUNTY, NEW YORK.

17. Severability
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
18. Survival
The provisions of these Terms that, by their nature and content, must survive the termination of these Terms in order to achieve the fundamental purposes of these Terms shall so survive. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Limited License; Copyright and Trademark, Indemnification, Disclaimers of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Release, Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration, Governing Law and Venue sections, will survive the termination or expiration of the Terms.

22. No Third Party Rights
There are no third party beneficiaries to these Terms.
23. Miscellaneous
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and GoParrot relating to your access to and use of our Services.
