The following sections will survive termination of these Terms: 3(d), 6 (first two paragraphs only), 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, and this sentence of Section 14.

15. Governing Law and Forum Choice.

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 16 below, the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes (defined below) that you and Adapter are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal courts located in Austin, Texas, and you and Adapter each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

16. Dispute Resolution.

16.a. Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, or the use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding. You and Adapter agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and that you and Adapter are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.

16.b. Exceptions. As limited exceptions to Section 16(a) above: (i) we both may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights.

16.c. Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org.

Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, with provision to be made for remote appearances to the maximum extent permitted by the AAA Rules, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, and scope of this arbitration agreement.

16.d. Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, and we will not seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute is frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration, we will pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and will not seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration, you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.

16.e. Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided in Section 16(b) above, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.

16.f. Class Action Waiver. YOU AND ADAPTER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if a Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.

16.g. Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 16(f) of these Terms (“Class Action Waiver”), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.

17. General Terms.

17.a. Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Adapter and you regarding use of the Services, and these Terms supersede and replace all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Adapter and you regarding the Services. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. Except where provided by applicable law in your jurisdiction, you may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Adapter’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms absent our consent or your statutory right, without such consent, will be null and void in its entirety. Adapter may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and any permitted assigns. No provision of these Terms is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations, or liabilities hereunder upon any person or entity other than you and Adapter and each party’s respective successors and permitted assigns.

17.b. Notices. Any notices or other communications provided by Adapter under these Terms will be given by posting to the Services.

17.c. Waiver of Rights. Adapter’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Adapter. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.

18. Contact Information. If you have any questions about these Terms or the Services, please contact Adapter at support@adapter.com.

This Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") applies to and governs the collection, processing and use of your personal information by Adapter during our service offering available at our affiliated Adapter.com website www.adapter.com. The Service is being made available to a limited number of users on an invitation-only basis and is subject to our Service Terms of Use.

We collect personal information that you provide to us. We also collect personal information automatically when you use the Private Preview, and personal information from third-party sources through which you provide your consent to share your information or integrate with us, as described below. We will make inferences about you based on the personal information you provide to us to ensure our services are most aligned to serving you well. We do this for the sole purpose of delivering and optimizing your Adapter experience.

Google User Data. When you connect your Google account to our Service, we will access your Google user data ("Google User Data"). By connecting your Google account to our Service, you grant Adapter access, read, write, and delete permissions. You have control over what Google User Data you permit us to access: you can set the time frame and topic for the Google User Data you are comfortable Adapter to access. For example, Gmail permissions include access to your inbox and emails. Google Calendar permissions include access to your calendar, calendar events, calendar lists, and calendar settings. You may voluntarily give us certain information when scheduling and setting up a calendar event, appointments including your name, email address, and phone number; email addresses of other people and/or invitees; the subject of the meeting; and any other information a user typically provides when scheduling. You can revoke our access to your Google User Data at any time.

Inferences about Your Interests and Preferences. Adapter's technology generates inferences about your preferences and interests when processing your personal information. For example, if Adapter selects an aisle seat on your favorite airline departing after your typical morning breakfast timer, Adapter will have inferred that you prefer that airline, aisle seats, and flights that aren't too early. Adapter aggregates all such inferences in our proprietary database called the Adapter Knowledge Base. We restrict access to the Adapter Knowledge Base to only authorized Adapter personnel and service providers, and only Adapter personnel's and authorized service providers' securely developed systems can interact with the Adapter Knowledge Base.

Feedback. We will ask to collect feedback or suggestions from you to help us test our Service. If you encounter any issues or faults with our Service, we would love to hear about them; our primary reason for running any services or beta programs is to iron out issues before making our services widely available.

Interactive Features. We and others, including third-party websites, applications, services, products and technologies (each a "Third-Party Service") that interact, share information with, access and/or use information directly or on your behalf, in connection with our Service, may collect personal information that you submit or make available through our interactive features.

Note that any information you provide using the public sharing features of the Service will be considered "public."

We may disclose a small subset of your personal information to a limited number of third parties that we have vetted and approved for critical and necessary business purposes related to the delivery of the Service to protect us or others, or in the event of a major business transaction such as a merger, sale, or asset transfer, as described below.

4.A. Disclosures to Provide the Service

We may disclose a small subset of the personal information we collect from you to the categories of third parties described below. We are responsible to you, our customer. We are committed to work only with vetted and specifically chosen third-party business partners who we believe share an aligned common interest in empowering you through our collective collaboration.

Service Providers. We may disclose personal information to third-party service providers that assist us with the provision of the Service. This may include, but is not limited to, service providers that provide us with hosting, account creation and authentication, customer service, analytics, IT support, and related services.

Other Users You Share or Interact With. The Service may allow you to share personal information or interact with other customers of the Service, or with others who are not using the Service, but only with others with whom you chose to share your information.

Third-Party Services You Share or Interact With. As noted in "Interactive Services" above, the Service may link to or allow you to interface, interact, share information with, direct us to share information with, access and/or use directly or on your behalf one or more Third-Party Services.

Any personal information shared with a Third-Party Service will be subject to the Third-Party Service's privacy policy. As noted above, we will strive to work only with Third-Party Services whose interests in protecting your personal information are aligned with our values, but we cannot be responsible for the processing of personal information by Third-Party Services.

Business Partners. We may share a small subset of personal information with approved business partners to provide you with a product or service (including a Third-Party Service) that you have requested.

Once your personal information is shared with our business partner, it may also be subject to our business partner's privacy policy. We are not responsible for the processing of personal information by our business partners.

4.B. Disclosures to Protect Us or Others

We may access, preserve, and disclose any information we store associated with you to external parties if we, in good faith, believe doing so is required or appropriate to: comply with law enforcement or national security requests and legal process, such as a court order or subpoena; protect your, our, or others' rights, property, or safety; enforce our policies or contracts; collect amounts owed to us; or assist with an investigation or prosecution of suspected or actual illegal activity. We will endeavor to always put forth to the best of our knowledge all reasonable protections afforded to you, our customer, in the jurisdiction(s) where matters such as these may be brought.

4.C. Disclosure in the Event of Merger, Sale, or Other Asset Transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, purchase or sale of assets, transition of service to another provider, or other similar corporate transaction, your personal information may be disclosed, sold, or transferred as part of such a transaction for the continued operation of the Service..

5. YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES

The privacy choices you may have about your personal information are described below.

Email Communications. If you receive an unwanted email from us, you can use the unsubscribe functionality found at the bottom of the email to opt out of receiving future emails. Note that you will continue to receive transaction-related emails. We may also send you certain non-promotional communications regarding us and the Service, and you will not be able to opt out of those communications (e.g., communications regarding the Service or updates to this Privacy Policy).

"Do Not Track." Do Not Track ("DNT") is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. DNT is associated with individual activity tracking across multiple service providers. Adapter does not respond to DNT signals. While Adapter exists to understand your individual activity to provide our services, including our Service, we do not participate in the cross-site tracking enablement of other third-parties such as advertising networks, advertising cookies, or similar cross-site tracking mechanisms.

Cookies. You may stop or restrict the placement of Technologies on your device or remove them by adjusting your preferences as your browser or device permits. However, if you adjust your preferences, the Service may not work properly. Please note you must separately opt out in each browser and on each device.

Account Deletion. You have an option to delete your entire account record, along with all associated personal information. You can do so within your Adapter account settings. However, you won't be able to delete information, including personal information, that we are legally required to maintain.

6. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Our application and database servers are located in the United States. We intend to offer participation in the Service only to users located in the United State. If you are located outside the United States, by submitting your personal information to Adapter and using our Service, you expressly consent to have your personal information transferred to, processed, and stored in the United States.

7. SECURITY

Adapter is committed to working to ensure that our services are by design more secure and more respectful of your privacy, and to endeavor to be a market leader. We work hard to prioritize customer data privacy and security and protect the personal information that you provide to us. We have taken and will continue to take commercially reasonable efforts, which we believe go beyond what is deemed reasonable in the industry, intended to protect the personal information we collect from you.

8. CHILDRENS INFORMATION

The Service is not directed to or intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has uploaded personal information to the Service in violation of applicable law, you may contact us as described in "Contact Us" below.

9. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES/APPLICATIONS

The Service may contain links to other websites/applications and other websites/applications may reference or link to our Service. These third-party services are not controlled by us. We encourage our users to read the privacy policies of each website and application with which they interact.
