As part of our Services, we may conduct "Gathers," or scheduled guided group conversations for which users can sign up individually or as couples. Gathers are led by Peoplehood "guides" ("Guides"). Gathers or other portions of our Services may be provided online via Peoplehood or third-party web platforms (such third-party web platforms, "Third-Party Platforms") or in-person at one or more Peoplehood locations ("In-Person Locations"). In addition to Gathers, we may offer additional or related Services via Peoplehood platforms, Third-Party Platforms or In-Person Locations.
(b) Products. We may offer Products for purchase, including, without limitation, merchandise, food, drinks (which may include alcoholic drinks), or other products via the Website, other Peoplehood platforms, or at In-Person Locations.
(c) In-Person Locations. Access to In-Person Locations is subject to any then-current Peoplehood policies, which may include, without limitation, security reviews of your devices or other materials you bring to In-Person Locations. You may only access the areas of In-Person Locations specifically permitted by Peoplehood and only for the specific purpose authorized by Peoplehood. All other access is prohibited.
(d) Removal. We may, in our sole discretion, temporarily or permanently revoke your access to any In-Person Location and any events held therein, including Gathers, and/or temporarily or permanently revoke your access to any other Peoplehood events, including, without limitation, by removing you from any of the foregoing.

3. Eligibility and Use Restrictions; Accounts

Users under 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority where the user lives) may only use our Services or purchase our Products under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms. The parent or legal guardian of a user under the age of 18 (or the age of legal majority) is fully responsible for the acts or omissions of such user in relation to our Services or Products. If you are a parent or legal guardian and you believe that your child under the age of 18 is using our Services or purchasing our Products without your consent, please contact us at
    . In using our Services or purchasing our Products, you represent and warrant that you meet the eligibility requirements to use our Services or purchase our Products, as applicable, and have the authority to be bound by these Terms, including, without limitation, if you use our Services or purchase our Products on behalf of another person or entity, including, without limitation, if you use our Services as a "couple" with another person (in which case "you" will include that person or entity and that person or entity agrees to be responsible to us).
  • Alcoholic Beverages. Notwithstanding the above-referenced age limitations, you must be at least 21 years of age to purchase beverages containing alcohol.
(b) Accounts. You may be required to create an account with Peoplehood in order to use some or all of our Services. You may not share or permit others to use your individual account credentials, unless you register for a "couples" account, in which case you will only share or permit the other individual on your account to use such credentials. You will promptly update any information contained in your account if it changes. You must maintain the security of your account, as applicable, and promptly notify us if you discover or suspect that someone has accessed your account without your permission. We reserve the right to reject, require that you change, or reclaim usernames, including on behalf of businesses or individuals that hold legal claim, including trademark rights, in those usernames.
(c) Additional Limitations. We may impose additional limitations on your ability to use our Services or purchase our Products. For example, we may refuse to serve you beverages containing alcohol if we cannot verify your age, you appear intoxicated, or as we may otherwise determine. All limitations are determined by us in our sole discretion and we will have no liability or responsibility for any consequences resulting from our imposition of any such limitations.
4. Confidentiality
When attending a Gather or using other portions of our Services, you may be exposed to non-public information or materials of Peoplehood or other users ("Confidential Information"). Without limiting the foregoing, Confidential Information includes anything that Peoplehood identifies as confidential or proprietary and any other information or materials that would reasonably be understood, given the nature of the information or materials or the circumstances surrounding its disclosure or access, to be confidential or proprietary. You will (a) hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence and refrain from disclosing it to any third party except with our prior written consent, (b) use Confidential Information only as strictly necessary to use the applicable Services to which such Confidential Information applies, (c) prevent the unauthorized access, use, storage and disclosure of Confidential Information, (d) refrain from directly or indirectly copying, modifying, reverse engineering, decompiling, selling, renting, commercially exploiting, or transferring any Confidential Information to any third party for any purpose, and (e) not confirm or comment on any information, public or otherwise, concerning our Services (including any Gather) without our prior written consent. You agree to return or destroy any Confidential Information when requested by us or when you cease using the applicable Services to which such Confidential Information applies, whichever is earlier. You will notify us immediately following the discovery of any incident that involves or reasonably may involve the unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or loss of any Confidential Information. You understand that breach of these obligations could cause us irreparable harm that is not compensable by monetary damages and you acknowledge we will be entitled to seek and obtain injunctive relief to enforce any breach or threatened breach of this section.
5. Payments
(a) Pricing. Before using our Services or purchasing our Products, you will have an opportunity to review our fees and other charges therefor. All fees and charges are subject to change at any time without notice, except as expressly set forth in connection with a Recurring Membership (as defined below). If you wish to make a purchase, you may be asked to supply certain relevant information, such as your payment card number and its expiration date and your billing address, to us or our payment processors, and you authorize us to store such information for future purchases. You represent and warrant that you have the right to use any payment card that you submit in connection with a purchase. We may receive updated information from your issuing bank or our payment service provider about any payment method you have stored with us. You authorize us to charge your payment method, including any updated payment method information we receive, for any charges you are responsible for under these Terms. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any purchase. You will pay all charges incurred by you or on your behalf, at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred, including all other charges applicable to your purchase. In the event legal action is necessary to collect on balances due, you will reimburse us and our vendors or agents for all expenses incurred to recover sums due, including attorneys' fees and other legal expenses. All charges for our Services and Products, except as set forth below in connection with a Recurring Membership, are non-cancelable and non-refundable.
(b) Services: Recurring Memberships. In using our Services, you may enroll in a payment plan involving automatic renewal (a "Recurring Membership"). If you enroll in a Recurring Membership, you authorize Peoplehood to maintain your account information and charge that account automatically upon the renewal with no further action required by you. The length of your Recurring Membership will be provided when you make your purchase. Your Recurring Membership will automatically renew unless you cancel it or we terminate it, meaning that we will automatically charge fees to you for the length of your Recurring Membership. In the event that Peoplehood is unable to charge your account as authorized by you when you enrolled in a Recurring Membership, Peoplehood may in its sole discretion (i) bill you for our Services and suspend your access to such Services until payment is received or (ii) seek to update your account information through third-party sources (i.e., your bank or a payment processor) to continue charging your account as authorized by you. You may cancel your membership through your account or we may terminate or suspend your membership in our sole discretion. You may cancel a Recurring Membership at any time, but if you cancel your Recurring Membership before the end of the current membership period, we will not refund any membership fees already paid to us. If we terminate or suspend your Recurring Membership, we will refund any prepaid, unused membership fees covering the period after termination or during which you were suspended. Following any cancellation (but not termination), you will continue to have access to the applicable Services through the end of your current membership period. Peoplehood may change the prices charged for Recurring Memberships at any time by posting updated pricing through our Services; provided, however, that the prices for your Recurring Membership will remain in force for the duration of the membership period for which you have paid. After that period ends, your use of the applicable Services will be charged at the then-current membership price. If you do not agree to these price changes, you must cancel your Recurring Membership prior to the billing date in which the changes take effect. If you do not cancel and we do not terminate, your Recurring Membership will automatically renew at the then-current price at the time of renewal and for the same duration as the initial membership term, and Peoplehood will charge your on-file payment card or method on the first day of the renewal of the membership term.
(c) Products: Purchase and Related Terms
  • Product Listings. We may make available listings, descriptions, and images of Products, as well as references and links to Products and coupons or discounts for Products ("Listings"). Such Listings may be made available for any purpose, including general information purposes. The availability of any listing, description, or image of a third-party Product does not imply our endorsement of such Product or affiliation with the provider of such Product. We attempt to ensure that any such Listings are complete, accurate, and current, but despite our efforts, the Listings may occasionally be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. We make no representations as to the completeness, accuracy, reliability, validity, or timeliness of such Listings (including any features, specifications, and prices contained therein). Such Listings and the availability of any Product (including the validity of any coupon or discount) are subject to change at any time without notice. Certain weights, measures, and similar descriptions are approximate and are for convenience only.
  • Order Confirmation and Acceptance. You will have the opportunity to review and confirm your order for Products, including, as applicable, delivery address, payment method and other details of your order
  • Shipping and Delivery. If applicable, Products will be shipped to an address designated by you, so long as such address is complete and complies with the shipping restrictions set forth in these Terms or otherwise contained on the Website or separately communicated to you. You will pay all shipping and handling charges specified during the ordering process. All purchases of shipped Products are made pursuant to a shipment contract and, as a result, risk of loss and title for Products pass to you upon delivery of the Products to the carrier. You are responsible for filing any claims with carriers for damaged and/or lost shipments. Any shipping dates provided are approximate and not guaranteed. We are not liable for any delays in shipments.
  • Order Delays and Cancellations. We reserve the right to delay, refuse, or cancel any order prior to delivery, if applicable. For example, if there are errors on the Website or made in connection with your order or inaccuracies in Product or pricing information or Product availability, we reserve the right to correct the error and charge you the correct price or cancel your order. We will contact you if any portion of your order is canceled or if additional information is required to accept your order. Occasionally, the manufacture or distribution of a certain Product may be delayed. In such event, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the delay and keep you informed of the revised delivery schedule.
  • Returns, Refunds and Exchanges. We do not provide refunds for Services or food or beverage Products. For merchandise Products, full refunds are available for full priced merchandise returned within 30 days of purchase, unopened, unwashed, with tags attached. There are no refunds or exchanges for sales merchandise Products.
    • Submitting a Return. If for any reason you decide to return or exchange a delivered Product that you purchased from us, you must submit a claim by emailing shop@peoplehood.com (a "Return Claim"). In connection with your Return Claim, you may be asked to provide, among other information: (a) your name, address, email address and telephone number and (b) a copy of your receipt, bill of sale or other comparable proof of purchase for the Product being returned. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment of any Return Claim. Following receipt of your Return Claim submitted with all required information in accordance with the procedure set forth in this section, we will provide notice to you of our decision as to whether to proceed with or deny your Return Claim. If we elect to proceed with your Return Claim, we will provide a return merchandise authorization number and email a shipping label to you. To obtain a refund or exchange, you must, using the shipping label provided by or on behalf of Peoplehood, return the Product to Peoplehood or its designee within thirty (30) days from the date the Product was originally shipped to you by or on behalf of Peoplehood. In order to receive a refund or exchange, the returned Product must not be subject to any of the exclusions set forth below.
    • Exclusions. We will not provide refunds for Products or accept returns or exchanges of Products purchased from other retailers. Those Products are subject to that retailer's return policies and Peoplehood disclaims any liability with respect to the return or exchange of such Products. Additionally, we will not accept a return or exchange of any Products if the Product (a) was not purchased from our Services, (b) is returned by any person other than (i) the original purchaser of the Product or (ii) a subsequent owner who can provide the original order number applicable to the initial purchase, or (c) is not in its original condition with all original packaging.
  • Refunds and Exchanges. Peoplehood does not take title to returned Products until the Product is received by Peoplehood. Once the Product has been returned to Peoplehood in accordance with these Terms and the return has been received and processed by Peoplehood, Peoplehood will (a) issue a refund to the original payment method used to purchase the Product for the full amount of the original purchase price (including any associated sales tax), minus, unless otherwise agreed by Peoplehood, the shipping and handling costs incurred by Peoplehood in connection with your Return Claim or (b) issue an exchanged Product, but you may be responsible for the shipping and handling costs incurred by Peoplehood in connection with providing an exchanged Product under your Return Claim. If the Product was purchased with a gift card, Peoplehood will issue a gift card for the refund amount but will not exchange the Product. For items given or received as a gift, Peoplehood is only able to issue a refund to the payment method used by the original purchaser. Unless prohibited by law, any shipping and handling charges paid for the original purchase will not be refunded.
  • Reservation of Rights. We reserve the right, including without prior notice, in whole or in part, to (a) limit the available quantity of or discontinue making available any Product, (b) impose conditions on the honoring of any coupon, discount, or similar promotion, (c) bar any user from purchasing any Products, (d) alter the payment option for any Products and (e) refuse to provide any user with any Products.

16. Limitation of Liability
(a) Waiver of Certain Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Peoplehood and the other Peoplehood 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 or lost profits, even if Peoplehood or the other Peoplehood Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

17. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND PEOPLEHOOD TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH WE CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER. ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU AND PEOPLEHOOD FROM SUING IN COURT OR HAVING A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND PEOPLEHOOD AGREE THAT ARBITRATION WILL BE SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION, OR ANY OTHER KIND OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. PEOPLEHOOD AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY.
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF THE REQUIREMENT OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS ARE ALLOWED UNDER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
(a) Arbitrable Claims. For any dispute or claim that you have against Peoplehood, that Peoplehood has against you or that you have, or Peoplehood has, in each case arising from, relating to, or stemming from these Terms, our Services, our Products, or any aspect of the relationship between you and Peoplehood as relates to these Terms or our Services, including any privacy or data security claims (collectively, "Arbitrable Claims," and each an "Arbitrable Claim"), you and Peoplehood agree to attempt to first resolve the Arbitrable Claim informally via the following process. If you assert an Arbitrable Claim against Peoplehood, you will first contact Peoplehood by sending a written notice of your Arbitrable Claim ("Claimant Notice") to Peoplehood by email to
. The Claimant Notice must (i) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the Arbitrable Claim; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Peoplehood asserts an Arbitrable Claim against you, Peoplehood will first contact you by sending a written notice of Peoplehood’s Arbitrable Claim ("Peoplehood Notice"), and each of a Claimant Notice and Peoplehood Notice, a "Notice") to you via email to the primary email address associated with your account. The Peoplehood Notice must (A) include the name of a Peoplehood contact and the contact's email address and telephone number; (B) describe the nature and basis of the Arbitrable Claim; and (C) set forth the specific relief sought. If you and Peoplehood cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Arbitrable Claim within thirty (30) days after you or Peoplehood receives such a Notice, then either party may submit the Arbitrable Claim to binding arbitration as set forth below. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for thirty (30) days from the date that either you or Peoplehood first send the applicable Notice so that the parties can engage in this informal dispute-resolution process.
(b) Binding Arbitration. Except for (i) individual disputes that qualify for small claims court, (ii) any disputes exclusively related to the intellectual property or intellectual property rights of you or Peoplehood, including any disputes in which you or Peoplehood seek injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of your or Peoplehood's intellectual property rights or other infringement of your or Peoplehood's intellectual property rights ("IP Claims") and (iii) disputes related to your breach or alleged breach of Section 4, all Arbitrable Claims, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, including, with respect to Arbitrable Claims that are not related to intellectual property or intellectual property rights but are jointly filed with IP Claims, that are not resolved in accordance with Section 17(a) will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator through final and binding arbitration instead of in a court by a judge or jury. Such Arbitrable Claims include, without limitation, disputes arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this arbitration provision, including the enforceability, revocability, or validity of the arbitration provision or any portion of the arbitration provision. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant any remedy or relief that would otherwise be available in court.
(c) Governance. These Terms affect interstate commerce, and the enforceability of this Section 17 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., to the extent permitted by law.
(d) Submission. All Arbitrable Claims must be submitted to the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and will be resolved through binding arbitration before one arbitrator. If you are a consumer, the then-current version of the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply, which are available on the AAA's website (adr.org), as amended by these Terms as follows:
  1. YOU AND PEOPLEHOOD AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU AND PEOPLEHOOD ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and, except as described below for the additional procedures to govern if twenty-five (25) or more similar or coordinated claims are asserted against Peoplehood or you by the same or coordinated counsel, 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.
  2. For any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the consumer filing fee, and Peoplehood will pay the remaining AAA fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Peoplehood, Peoplehood will pay all AAA fees and costs.
  3. For all arbitrations where the claims asserted are $25,000 or less, the arbitration shall be resolved according to the AAA’s Procedures for the Resolution of Disputes through Document Submission, and for all other arbitrations the following procedure will apply: (a) the arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate; (b) any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances; and (c) if the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator.
  4. If you or Peoplehood submits a dispute to arbitration and the arbitrator orders any exchange of information, you and Peoplehood agree to cooperate to seek from the arbitrator protection for any confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or otherwise sensitive information, documents, testimony, and/or other materials that might be exchanged or the subject of discovery in the arbitration. You and Peoplehood agree to seek such protection before any such information, documents, testimony, and/or materials are exchanged or otherwise become the subject of discovery in the arbitration.
  5. The arbitrator’s decision will follow these Terms and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.
  6. The AAA Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings and the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule will apply if twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against Peoplehood or against you by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated. In addition to the application of the AAA Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings and the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule, you and Peoplehood understand and agree that when twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against Peoplehood or you by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise resolved, your or Peoplehood’s Arbitrable Claim might be delayed. For such coordinated actions, you and Peoplehood also agree to the following coordinated bellwether process. Counsel for the claimants and counsel for Peoplehood shall each select ten (10) cases (per side) to proceed first in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the initial twenty (20) proceedings, each side shall select another ten (10) cases (per side) to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a second bellwether process. The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. A single arbitrator shall preside over each case. Only one case may be assigned to each arbitrator as part of a bellwether process unless the parties agree otherwise. This staged process shall continue, consistent with the parameters identified above, until all the claims included in these coordinated filings, including your case, are adjudicated or otherwise resolved. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for claims subject to this staged process from the time the first cases are selected for a bellwether process until the time your case is selected for a bellwether process, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. A court shall have authority to enforce this paragraph and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing or prosecution of arbitration demands against Peoplehood or you
(e) One Year to Assert Claims. To the extent permitted by law, any Arbitrable Claim by you or Peoplehood relating in any way to these Terms, our Services, or any aspect of the relationship between you and Peoplehood as relates to these Terms or our Services, must be filed within one year after such Arbitrable Claim arises; otherwise, the Arbitrable Claim is permanently barred, which means that you and Peoplehood will not have the right to assert the Arbitrable Claim.
(f) Opt-Out Right. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted these Terms by providing us with notice of your decision to opt-out via email at
. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name, mailing address, and email address. The notice must also 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 18.
(g) Severability. If any portion of this Section 17 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, including but not limited to because it is found to be unconscionable, (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms; (ii) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 17 or the parties' ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 17; and (iii) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The litigation of those claims will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 17 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 17 will be enforceable.
(h) Other Jurisdictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Terms, if you reside in any country outside of the United States, you may bring legal proceedings regarding the Terms either by following the arbitration procedure detailed above in this Section 17 or, if given the right by applicable law, by submitting the dispute to an arbitration administrator in the jurisdiction in which you reside. To the extent any proceeding is not subject to arbitration under applicable law, you may submit the dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction in which you reside.
18. Governing Law
These Terms and any claims made hereunder (including Arbitrable Claims) will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent preempted by U.S. Federal Law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. If any Arbitrable Claim is not subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 17, then the state and federal courts located in Manhattan, New York will have exclusive jurisdiction. You and Peoplehood waive any objection to venue in any such courts. If your local law requires that consumer contracts be interpreted subject to local law and enforced in the courts of that jurisdiction, this section may not apply to you only to the extent that local law conflicts with this section.
19. Modifying and Terminating Our Services or Products
We reserve the right in our sole discretion to: (a) modify, suspend, or terminate providing our Services (in whole or in part), including, without limitation, (i) terminating or suspending your account, (ii) terminating or suspending your Recurring Membership and/or (iii) removing you from In-Person Locations, Gathers and/or any other Peoplehood events); (b) charge, modify, or waive any fees required to use our Services or Products; or (c) offer opportunities to some or all end users of our Services or purchasers of our Products.

20. Severability
If any portion of these Terms other than Section 17 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, including but not limited to because it is found to be unconscionable: (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of these Terms; and (c) the unenforceable or unlawful provision may be revised to the extent required to render the Terms enforceable or valid, and the rights and responsibilities of the parties will be interpreted and enforced accordingly, so as to preserve the Terms and the intent of the Terms to the fullest possible extent.
21. Export Control
You are responsible for compliance with United States export controls and for any violation of such controls, including any United States embargoes or other federal rules and regulations restricting exports. You represent, warrant and covenant that you are not (a) located in, or a resident or a national of, any country subject to a U.S. government embargo or other restriction, or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country; or (b) on any of the U.S. government lists of restricted end users.
22. Miscellaneous
(a) General. Peoplehood's failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Terms reflect the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, representations, statements, and understandings of the parties. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Use of the word "including" will be interpreted to mean "including without limitation."
