In the event of a dispute between you and Company (including any dispute over the validity, enforceability, or scope of this dispute resolution provision), other than with respect to claims for injunctive relief, the Dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules. The place of the arbitration shall be in Geauga, Ohio. In the event that there is any dispute between you and Company that is determined not to be subject to arbitration pursuant to the preceding sentence, or in the event this arbitration provision is held unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, you agree to submit in that event to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the State of Ohio located in Geauga County or the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. You agree that this Agreement and the relationship between you and Company shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and the laws of the State of Ohio without regard to conflict of law principles or the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods. Notwithstanding this, either party shall still be allowed to apply for injunctive or other equitable relief to protect or enforce that party’s intellectual property rights in any court of competent jurisdiction where the other party resides or has its principal place of business.
Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, consolidation of your dispute with other arbitrations, or any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity or as a private attorney general are not permitted and are waived by you, and an arbitrator will have no jurisdiction to hear such claims. If a court or arbitrator finds that the class action waiver in this section is unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then the class action waiver will not apply to those parts. Instead, those parts will be severed and proceed in a court of law, with the remaining parts proceeding in arbitration. If any other provision of this dispute resolution section is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed with the remainder of this section remaining in full force and effect.

Fluid LOCAL Specific Provision
Fluid Services is committed to privacy. We are not going to share any information that you don’t want us to share. We don’t sell your name, phone number, email or mail address to third parties. We don’t sell the names, phone numbers, email or mail addresses to third parties of those you ask to provide reviews. We won’t spam you, or those you ask to provide reviews. We want you to be confident that your information is safe with us.
Fluid LOCAL is a social application. At its core, it enables businesses to broadcast their location in real-time, and it enables customers to more easily find them. In addition to local content, Fluid LOCAL also offers a means to email or text review requests to customers.
Review and content data, not including email addresses or phone numbers of those asked for reviews, is posted on the Fluid LOCAL network (fluid.services) and to any plugins or API integrations you have allowed us to activate to display that content on website(s). If you have activated webhooks, API integrations, Zapier integrations, or pushed reports then the content and review information including customer email address or phone number will be accessible to you through those integrations, and it is your responsibility to ensure that you do not make any personally-identifiable information public.
Review and content data, including the name, email address or phone number for those you have asked for reviews, will also be available to anyone you grant access to see it in your account on the Fluid LOCAL backend and in any of the integrations you have setup — so be security conscious.
The content data you create, and the reviews your customers provide (not including their email address or phone number), is public. If you do not want this information to be public, you should not use Fluid LOCAL.
Location based data is sensitive. We use geolocation data in several ways. Most notably on the Fluid LOCAL main site (fluid.services), and on the Fluid LOCAL plugins, webhooks, API integrations, or Zapier integrations. The data we use enables customers to search for information based on location, and for businesses to broadcast location specific data, like their recent checkins from one of our plugins. We want to protect both businesses and customers and their locations. To do this we obscure geolocation data. What does that mean? Without getting too technical, we simply scramble the geolocation data a bit to make it so that we only get to the neighborhood level when displaying any geolocation data. The neighborhood is as close as we broadcast.
Keep in mind that the government rules. If big brother comes knocking on our door asking for stuff, we will act tough at first, but then we will give-in and hand it over if we are legally obligated to.
