To provide continuous service to paid subscribers who purchase a Subscription, unless otherwise stated, we automatically renew your Subscription. The renewal term is usually the same duration as the original Subscription term (for example, a one-month Subscription will renew on a monthly basis and a one-year Subscription will renew on an annual basis). 

By making a Subscription purchase on the Services, you acknowledge that your account will be subject to the above-described automatic renewals. At any time, if you do not wish your account to renew automatically or if you wish to cancel your Subscription at any time, more information can be found here

Cancellations are effective the following billing cycle. You will not receive a refund for the current billing cycle and will continue to have the same access and benefits for the remainder of the current billing period.

Please note that your paid Subscription may be interrupted as a result of a canceled or expired payment card or other payment method. It is your responsibility to keep your payment card or payment method details up to date to continue accessing the Services.

We will not notify you in advance that the promotion is about to end and we will not notify you when your promotional rate has ended. To cancel and avoid being charged, you must notify us before the promotion ends.

3.8 Payments. All payments related to your Subscription or other purchases made from your registration account must be made from a payment method on which you are the named account holder (the “Payment Method”). Unless otherwise stated, all fees due for the Subscription(s) are payable in advance, and will be billed automatically to the Payment Method. You agree that we will not be liable for any loss caused by any unauthorized use of your payment card or any other method of payment by a third party in connection with the Services. Any attempt to defraud the Company through the use of payment cards or other payment methods will result in immediate termination of your account and civil and/or criminal prosecution. In the case of suspected or fraudulent payment, including use of stolen credentials, by anyone, or any other fraudulent activity, we reserve the right to block your account. We are entitled to inform relevant authorities or entities (including credit reference agencies) of any payment fraud or other unlawful activity, and may employ collection services to recover payments.

You irrevocably authorize us, as necessary, to instruct such Payment Processors to handle such transactions and you irrevocably agree that we may give such instructions on your behalf in accordance with your requests as submitted on the Services. You agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of each applicable Payment Processor. In the event of conflict between these Terms of Use and the Payment Processor terms and conditions, these Terms of Use shall govern.

Essential contractual obligations are obligations that must be performed in order to achieve the purpose of a contract in the first place, and on the performance of which you may therefore generally rely. Our liability for such breaches of essential contractual obligations under this paragraph is limited to damages that are typical of the type of contract and foreseeable at the time the contract is concluded.

  1. Disputes

If you are a resident of the United States: You agree that any dispute or claim arising out of your use of any of the Services or any products or Subscriptions sold on the Services, including any dispute or claim as to the application, enforceability, scope, or interpretation of this agreement to arbitrate, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms of Use.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief, or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms of Use.

Arbitration shall be administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), pursuant to the most-current JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures, and conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Arbitration will take place by phone or videoconference, unless an in-person hearing is requested by either party. In that case, the hearing will take place in the state where you reside. To the extent this agreement to arbitrate conflicts with the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness (the “Minimum Standards”), the Minimum Standards in that regard will apply.

Disputes may also be referred to another arbitration organization if you and the Company agree in writing, or to an arbitrator appointed pursuant to Section 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act.

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, group, or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that notwithstanding our agreement to only arbitrate disputes as stated above, you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

If this arbitration provision is found to be null and void, then all disputes arising under the Terms between us will be subject to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Denver, Colorado, and you and we hereby submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of these courts. You and Outside agree that if for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration: (1) you and Outside waive any right to a jury trial; (2) the dispute will proceed solely on an individual, non-class, non-representative basis; and (3) neither you nor Outside may be a class representative or class member or otherwise participate in any class, representative, consolidated, or private attorney general proceeding.

This agreement to arbitrate will not preclude you or Outside from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, including without limitation orders to stay a court action, compel arbitration or confirm an arbitral award, from a court of competent jurisdiction. Furthermore, this agreement to arbitrate will not preclude you or Outside from (i) applying to the appropriate court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim or conservatory relief, as necessary, or (ii) seeking relief in any state or federal court for disputes related to a violation or possible violation of Outside’s intellectual property rights.

Thirty-Day Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration- and class-action-waiver provisions set forth in this section by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: Outside Interactive, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 1600 Pearl St., Ste. 300, Boulder, CO 80302. The notice must be sent within 30 days of registering to use the Services; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes according to these Terms of Use. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Outside also will not be bound by them. In addition, if you elect to opt out of these arbitration provisions, Outside may terminate your use of the Services.

If you are a resident of the European Union: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms of Use, if there is a dispute that you and Outside cannot resolve, you have the right to submit a complaint through http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Other than as set out in these Terms of Use, we do not participate in any ADR scheme.

  • In addition, nothing in these Terms of Use limits your rights to bring an action against Outside in the local courts of your place of domicile. All disputes arising under the Terms of Use between you and Outside will be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in your place of domicile, or the courts located in Ireland, and you and we hereby submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of these courts.
