Terms of Service

Effective as of 2021-08-15

  1. Introduction

    Thanks for choosing Wazoo Inc. ("Wazoo," "we," "us," "our"). Wazoo provides tennis juniors and professionals with a one-stop location for searching and discovering tournaments across major governing bodies that sponsor tennis tournaments as well as text and email-based notifications for tournaments that match criteria set forth by each user. By signing up or otherwise using any of these Wazoo services, including all associated features and functionalities, websites and user interfaces, as well as all the content and software applications associated with our services (collectively, the “Wazoo Service” or “Service), or by accessing any content or material that is made available through the Service (the “Content) you are entering into a binding contract with Wazoo Inc.

    Your agreement with us includes these Terms and any additional terms that you agree to, as discussed in the Entire Agreement section below, other than terms with any third parties (collectively, the "Agreements"). The Agreements include terms regarding future changes to the Agreements, export controls, automatic renewals, limitations of liability, privacy, waiver of class actions, and resolution of disputes by arbitration instead of in court. If you wish to review the terms of the Agreements, the current effective version of the Agreements can be found on Wazoo website. You acknowledge that you have read and understood the Agreements, accept these Agreements, and agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree with (or cannot comply with) the Agreements, then you may not use the Wazoo Service or access any Content.

  2. Changes to the Agreements

    Occasionally we may make changes to the Agreements. When we make material changes to the Agreements, we will provide you with notice as appropriate under the circumstances, e.g., by displaying a prominent notice within the Service or by sending you an email. In some cases, we will notify you in advance, and your continued use of the Service after the changes have been made will constitute your acceptance of the changes. Please therefore make sure you read any such notice carefully. If you do not wish to continue using the Service under the new version of the Agreements, you may terminate your account by contacting us. If you received a Trial or a Paid Subscription through a third party, you must cancel the applicable Paid Subscription through such third party.

  3. Enjoying Wazoo
    1. Service Options

      You can find a description of our Service options on our website. Wazoo Services will require payment before you can access them (the “Paid Subscriptions”). We may also offer special promotional plans, trial periods, memberships, or services, including offerings of third-party products and services in conjunction with or through the Wazoo Service. We are not responsible for the products and services provided by such third parties. We reserve the right to modify, terminate or otherwise amend our offered subscription plans and promotional offerings at any time in accordance with these Terms. If you have purchased or received a code, gift card, pre-paid offer or other offer provided or sold by or on behalf of Wazoo sfor access to a Paid Subscription ("Code"), separate terms and conditions presented to you along with the Code may also apply to your access to the Service and you agree to comply with any such terms and conditions. You may also purchase access to a Paid Subscription through a third party. In such cases, separate terms and conditions with such third party in addition to the Agreements may apply to your access to the Service.

    2. Trials

      From time to time, we or others on our behalf may offer trials of Paid Subscriptions for a specified period without payment or at a reduced rate (a "Trial"). Wazoo may determine your eligibility for a Trial, and withdraw or modify a Trial at any time without prior notice and with no liability, to the extent permitted under applicable law.

      For some Trials, we will require you to provide your payment details to start the Trial. By providing such details you agree that we may automatically begin charging you for the Paid Subscription on the first day following the end of the Trial on a recurring monthly basis or another interval that we disclose to you in advance. IF YOU DO NOT WANT THIS CHARGE, YOU MUST CANCEL THE APPLICABLE PAID SUBSCRIPTION BEFORE THE END OF THE TRIAL BY LOGGING INTO YOUR ACCOUNT, NAVIGATING TO THE "MY PROFILE" PAGE, AND CLICKING “CANCEL MEMBERSHIP”.

  4. Payments and Cancellations
    1. Billing

      You may purchase a Paid Subscription directly from Wazoo or through a third party by paying a subscription fee in advance on a monthly basis or some other recurring interval disclosed to you prior to your purchase (the “Pre-Paid Period”).

      Wazoo may change the price for the Paid Subscriptions, including recurring subscription fees, or Codes, from time to time and will communicate any price changes to you in advance and, if applicable, how to accept those changes. Price changes will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. Subject to applicable law, you accept the new price by continuing to use the Wazoo Service after the price change takes effect. If you do not agree with a price change, you have the right to reject the change by unsubscribing from the Paid Subscription prior to the price change going into effect.

    2. Renewal; Cancellation

      Your payment to Wazoo or the third party through which you purchased the Paid Subscription will automatically renew at the end of the applicable subscription period, unless you cancel your Paid Subscription before the end of the then-current subscription period by logging into your account, navigating to the "My Profile" page, and clicking “Cancel Membership”. The cancellation will take effect the day after the last day of the current subscription period, and your subscription will end. We do not provide refunds or credits for any partial subscription periods.

      If you have purchased a Paid Subscription using a Code, your subscription will automatically terminate at the end of the period stated in the Code, or when there is an insufficient payment method to pay for the Service.

  16. Entire Agreement

    Other than as stated in this section or as explicitly agreed upon in writing between you and Wazoo, the Agreements constitute all the terms and conditions agreed upon between you and Wazoo and supersede any prior agreements in relation to the subject matter of these Agreements, whether written or oral.

    Please note, however, that certain aspects of your use of the Wazoo Service may be governed by additional agreements. That could include, for example, access to the Wazoo Service as a result of a gift card, free or discounted Trials, or together with other services.

  20. Choice of Law, Mandatory Arbitration, and Venue
    1. Governing Law / Jurisdiction

      The Agreements (and any non-contractual disputes/claims arising out of or in connection with them) are subject to the laws of the state of New York, United States of America, without regard to choice or conflicts of law principles.

      Further, you and Wazoo agree to the jurisdiction of the Southern District of New York to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy that relates to or arises in connection with the Agreements (and any non-contractual disputes/claims relating to or arising in connection with them) and is not subject to mandatory arbitration under Section 20.b.i.

    2. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

      This Arbitration Agreement applies only to users in the United States.

      1. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

        You and Wazoo agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Wazoo arising in connection with or relating in any way to these Agreements or to your relationship with Wazoo as a user of the Service (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of the Agreements) will be determined by mandatory binding individual (not class) arbitration. You and Wazoo further agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. There may be more limited discovery than in court. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney fees), except that the arbitrator may not award any relief, including declaratory or injunctive relief, benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. This arbitration provision will survive termination of the Agreements.

      2. Exceptions

        Notwithstanding the clause above (20.b.i), you and Wazoo both agree that nothing in this Arbitration Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights, at any time, to (1) bring an individual action in a U.S. small claims court or (2) bring an individual action seeking only temporary or preliminary individualized injunctive relief in a court of law, pending a final ruling from the arbitrator. In addition, this Arbitration Agreement does not stop you or us from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf (or vice versa).

      3. No Class or Representative Proceedings: Class Action Waiver

        YOU AND WAZOO 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 ACTION. Unless both you and Wazoo agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person's claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award 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. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph's limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

      4. Arbitration Rules

        Either you or we may start arbitration proceedings. Any arbitration between you and Wazoo will take place under the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") then in force (the "AAA Rules"), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. You and Wazoo agree that the Federal Arbitration Act applies and governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision (despite the choice of law provision above). The AAA Rules, as well as instructions on how to file an arbitration proceeding with the AAA, appear at adr.org, or you may call the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Wazoo also help put you in touch with the AAA.

        Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing address, provided that if the claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (1) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (2) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address.

        If you choose to file an arbitration proceeding and you are required to pay a filing fee, Wazoo will reimburse you for that filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US $10,000, in which case you will be responsible for the filing fee. Wazoo will pay any other arbitration fees, including your share of arbitrator compensation, unless otherwise required by AAA rules or court order. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall 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.

      5. Notice; Process

        A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail, or Federal Express SmartPost, or Express Mail (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail ("Notice"). Wazoo’s address for Notice is: Wazoo Inc., Attn: General Counsel, 39 Pool Drive Roslyn, New York 11576 USA. The Notice must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Wazoo may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Wazoo shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. In the event our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, and the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Wazoo’s last written settlement offer, then Wazoo will instead pay you either the amount of the award or $1,000, whichever is greater. All documents and information disclosed in the course of the arbitration shall be kept strictly confidential by the recipient and shall not be used by the recipient for any purpose other than for purposes of the arbitration or the enforcement of the arbitrator's decision and award and shall not be disclosed except in confidence to persons who have a need to know for such purposes or as required by applicable law.

      6. Enforceability

        If this Arbitration Agreement is invalidated in whole or in part, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 20.a shall govern any claim in court arising out of or related to the Agreements.
