IMPORTANT NOTICE: We request that you carefully read these terms before accessing, using, or interacting with the site, any interface, or functionality. By doing so, including by linking your "Wallet" or creating an identifier on the site, you represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement, that you have read and understood the entirety of these Terms, and that you agree to be bound by them, including the binding arbitration agreement and the class action waiver provided for in Section 9.
The operational functionalities of the Site, the Platform, and the Technological Characteristics (as defined below) are not available to persons or entities that reside, are located, are incorporated, maintain a registered office, or have their principal place of business in any restricted jurisdiction, including the Republic of Panama, as defined in Section 5. They are likewise not available to persons or entities that (i) act for the account of or on behalf of a Restricted Person (as defined below), or (ii) are directed, coordinated, or controlled by a Restricted Person (who will likewise be considered Restricted Persons, as defined below). This restriction admits no exceptions. If you qualify as a Restricted Person (as defined in Section 5), refrain from using the Site, the Platform, or the Technological Characteristics. The use of virtual private networks ("VPN") or analogous tools to circumvent or attempt to circumvent the restrictions set forth herein is strictly prohibited, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5. Any breach of these terms may result in your "Wallet" being placed in close-only mode, the restriction of your access to the Technological Characteristics, and/or the termination of your access, at the Company's sole discretion, in accordance with Section 5.
These Terms and Conditions of Use of SMPL PA OP, S.A. (the "Company") are intended to establish the general conditions under which any person who requests in their own right the services offered herein by the Company ("You" or the "User") is authorized to access, use, and interact with the services, content, and functionalities provided by the Company (the "Terms and Conditions").
Users accept that the Company may partially or totally modify these Terms and Conditions from time to time, with those that are in effect and published on www.palpito.com (the "Site") at the time of access or use of the services being applicable.
The User's access to and use of the Site and the Company's services shall be conditioned upon the prior and express acceptance of these Terms and Conditions, as well as of the other documents that are incorporated by reference, including the Privacy Notice and the Cookie Notice (collectively, the "Terms").
Such consent may be collected through electronic mechanisms enabled in the platform's registration flow, including without limitation clickwrap-type agreements, that allow you to express your acceptance of the terms, including by way of example but not limitation, account creation, selection of acceptance buttons, the checking of a verification box, or another equivalent electronic mechanism that entails an express manifestation of will.
Once acceptance is granted, the User shall be bound by the Terms, which constitute the entire agreement between You and the Company.
These Terms are applicable to (i) all content, informational functionality, and informational characteristics (the "Content Characteristics") available on the Site and any other site on which the Terms are published (each, as applicable, an "Interface") and (ii) software, including without limitation the blockchain-based protocol and smart contracts (the "Protocol") known as Pálpito (the "Platform"), which may be available to users upon connecting their self-custodied wallets through an Interface, including without limitation the Site (the "Technological Characteristics" and together with the Content Characteristics, the "Functionalities").
If you are in a Restricted Jurisdiction (as defined below), you may only use the Content Characteristics on the Site and may not access the Technological Characteristics or the Platform.
The headings of each section of these Terms and Conditions are included solely to facilitate reading and have no binding character. Such headings shall not be used to interpret or modify the content or scope of the provisions contained herein. In the event of a discrepancy between the headings and the text, the content of each section shall prevail.
The Site and the Platform allow users to access and use the Functionalities, including the Content Characteristics and the Technological Characteristics, by means of which it is possible to participate in markets related to real-world events through interaction with smart contracts deployed on blockchain networks (the "Contracts").
In particular, the Technological Characteristics enable the formation and operation of markets in which Users may take positions based on the occurrence of certain events, the outcomes of which are determined in accordance with the rules previously defined in the Contracts.
The Contracts available through the Platform constitute peer-to-peer agreements between Users, the value or outcome of which depends on events verifiable in accordance with the rules applicable to each market.
The Contracts do not constitute and shall not be interpreted as: (i) securities, instruments, or securities subject to securities market legislation; (ii) regulated financial instruments or derivatives; (iii) a collective investment scheme; nor (iv) gaming, betting, or games of chance activities subject to special authorizations or regulation.
The Platform is operated directly by the Company, which is the owner of the technology that supports it. In this regard, the Company provides access to the Functionalities and to the technological infrastructure that enables interaction with the Contracts.
The Company does not act as a counterparty in the transactions carried out by the Users nor does it maintain its own positions in the markets available through the Platform, nor does it provide execution, clearing, or settlement services on behalf of the Users.
Transactions may involve the assignment, transmission, or exchange of positions between Users within the Platform itself by means of the Technological Characteristics. The Company merely facilitates the corresponding technological operability for interaction between Users, without assuming its own positions or intervening discretionarily in the transactions carried out between Users.
Likewise, the Company does not administer third-party accounts nor does it have direct discretionary control over the transactions or the assets of the Users outside the automated logic of the Contracts. The foregoing is without prejudice to the powers of suspension, restriction, or limitation of access provided for in these Terms.
The transactions carried out through the Technological Characteristics are executed by means of Contracts deployed on blockchain networks, which operate automatically in accordance with previously established conditions, including, without limitation, the execution of orders, the assignment of positions, and the settlement of outcomes.
The Company does not intervene discretionarily in the execution of such transactions, beyond facilitating the User's access to the Functionalities.
The User may revoke the access granted to the Company at any time through the Platform. It is clarified that the access that you may grant us shall in no way allow the Company to:
Use of Wallet and self-custody
To use the Technological Characteristics, the User must connect a self-custody digital wallet (the "Wallet"), with respect to which the User retains at all times exclusive control of their private keys and of the associated cryptoassets.
The Company does not have access, control, possession, or custody over the User's Wallet or over the cryptoassets contained therein at any time.
The Wallet used by the User to interact with the Platform is provided and operated by an independent third party, who acts as a technological infrastructure provider of non-custodial wallets. In this regard, the User acknowledges that the creation, administration, access recovery, custody of private keys, and other functionalities associated with the Wallet are the exclusive responsibility of such provider and of the User itself, without the intervention of the Company.
The Company does not have access to the User's private keys, cannot sign transactions on their behalf, nor can it transfer assets from the User's Wallet without their direct authorization through the corresponding technical mechanisms.
The User acknowledges and accepts that there is a fundamental distinction between (i) the digital assets held in their non-custodial Wallet, with respect to which the User retains at all times exclusive control, and (ii) the digital assets that, as a result of their participation in the markets available on the Platform, are transferred to the Contracts (on-chain escrow).
With respect to the assets in the User's Wallet, the Company does not at any time have access, control, possession, or custody over them or over the associated private keys.
For their part, the assets transferred to the Contracts cease to be under the direct control of the User and become subject to the operational logic and rules of the corresponding market, and may be administered in accordance with such rules by the Company in its capacity as market operator, including their retention in escrow until the resolution of the event.
The User acknowledges that these two scenarios have a distinct nature and treatment, and that participation in the markets entails the express acceptance of such mechanics.
In the context of the use of the Technological Characteristics, the funds associated with the User's participation in certain markets may be transferred from their Wallet to specific Contracts, which function as automated safekeeping mechanisms on blockchain networks.
Such Contracts keep the funds locked until the resolution of the corresponding market and carry out the automatic distribution thereof in accordance with the defined outcomes.
The User acknowledges that the funds transferred to such Contracts cease to be under their direct control in their Wallet during the time they remain in such mechanisms, without this implying that the Company has custody over them, but rather that such funds are governed principally by the logic of the Contracts, without prejudice to the limited operational functions of the Company in accordance with the provisions of these Terms and Conditions.
The User acknowledges that this mechanism does not constitute the provision of custody services by the Company or by third parties. Likewise, such funds are subject principally to the programmed logic of the Contracts, without prejudice to the limited operational functions of the Company necessary for the functioning of the market, and not to individualized discretionary instructions of the User, without prejudice to the provisions of the "Use of market funds" section.
In this regard, the Company (i) is not involved in providing or transmitting such information directly to the blockchain networks; (ii) does not execute transactions on behalf of the User nor intervene discretionarily in them; (iii) does not have access to nor can it control or provide guarantees in relation to your Wallet, and (iv) does not have authority over, nor does it take possession or custody of, the User's cryptoassets at any time.
We instruct you to exercise due caution and care when interacting with any immutable blockchain technology, you being solely responsible for such interactions. Additionally, the Company does not control the deployed Contracts, the software underlying which the blockchain networks are formed or the Protocol is deployed.
In general, the software underlying the blockchain networks, including the Solana network, is open source, such that anyone may use, copy, modify, and distribute it.
The Company does not own or control the Protocol or the Solana blockchain network on which the Protocol has been deployed. The Company is not responsible for the operation of the underlying Solana blockchain network, and the Company grants no warranty, express or implied, regarding the functionality, security, availability, or performance of the network.
The Company has no capacity, nor any responsibility or obligation, to control, maintain, provide, operate, or improve the blockchain network underlying the Protocol or the activity or data thereon, and the User expressly exonerates and releases the Company from any liability related to the foregoing. The Company is not responsible for the activities of persons or entities that develop or use applications or that validate or verify transactions or other operations related to blockchain networks operated by third parties, and the User solely assumes all risks arising from such activities. The Company cannot control how blockchain networks operated by third parties market their blockchain networks, and Users must not assume that any blockchain networks operated by third parties are affiliated with the Company.
The User is solely responsible for familiarizing themselves with their Wallet and its security and protection characteristics, including any private keys, recovery phrases, access credentials, and passwords associated with it, as well as any additional authentication mechanism enabled by the Wallet provider. The Company does not access and cannot access the private key, recovery phrase, password, access credentials, or any cryptoassets held within the User's Wallet, nor can it reverse any transaction that the User initiates with their Wallet (or otherwise).
The User acknowledges, understands, and expressly accepts that the loss, misplacement, theft, disclosure to third parties, forgetting, or any other impairment of access to their private keys, recovery phrases, passwords, access credentials, or authentication mechanisms may result in the total, definitive, and irreversible loss of access to their Wallet and to all of the cryptoassets contained therein, without any possibility of recovery by the Company. The Company does not have, nor is it obligated to have, backup, recovery, or credential or private key restoration mechanisms, and under no circumstances may it assist the User in the recovery of cryptoassets lost as a consequence of such events. Any recovery mechanism that, where applicable, the independent Wallet provider may offer is the exclusive responsibility of such third party and of the User itself, without any intervention or liability of the Company.
The Company is not responsible for the manner in which the User uses their Wallet, nor for the losses, damages, or harm arising from the loss of access to it, with the User expressly and irrevocably exonerating it from all liability in this regard.
The User is solely responsible for familiarizing themselves with the risks associated with carrying out transactions on blockchain networks, including without limitation smart contract vulnerabilities, front end vulnerabilities, hacks, phishing attacks, social engineering attacks, cryptoasset volatility, and irreversibility of transactions. It is the User's duty to be familiar with these risks, and by using the Site and the Functionalities, the User declares to have sufficient knowledge regarding them.
Except as expressly consented, the Company does not carry out or control any transaction initiated through the Platform, and the Company shall not be responsible for the outcome of any transaction, including without limitation failed, inadvertent, or fraudulent transactions that may result in loss of funds or transaction fees or any other loss or damage to the User.
All transactions broadcast to the applicable blockchain network through your Wallet may require the payment of non-refundable network transaction fees, with respect to which the Company may, at its sole discretion and without this constituting a guarantee, obligation, or commitment of the Company, assume such fees as part of the operation of the Platform, without this constituting a permanent obligation of the Company, reserving the right to modify such scheme at any time and at its sole discretion.
The User acknowledges that such fees are determined by the corresponding blockchain network and not by the Company.
The Company may charge fees for the use of the Platform and participation in the available markets, including, without limitation, fees for entering into Contracts, as well as for services related to the deposit or withdrawal of funds.
The fees applicable at each time will be informed to the Users through the Site or the Platform and may be consulted at any time at https://www.palpito.com/comisiones.
The Company reserves the right to modify at any time the scheme and the amounts of the applicable fees, by updating the corresponding information on the Site or the Platform and, where applicable, by means of prior notice to the User.
The Company may implement liquidity provision or market maker programs with respect to certain markets or Contracts available on the Platform.
In relation to such programs, the Company may establish specific participation criteria, as well as grant certain participants benefits, incentives, or differentiated conditions, including fee discounts, rebates, revenue share, risk management tools, technical priorities, or any other benefit related to liquidity provision activities.
The User acknowledges and accepts that such programs may generate operational conditions different from those of other participants of the Platform and that such benefits or tools could generate operational, execution, or trading advantages with respect to users who do not participate in such programs.
The implementation, modification, suspension, or termination of any liquidity provision program shall be determined by the Company at its sole discretion and may be subject to additional rules, requirements, or terms published in due course on the Platform.
The pricing information, market data, or other information available on the Site in relation to the Contracts or the Technological Characteristics is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer, a solicitation of an offer, or any advice or recommendation to enter into any operations or transaction.
The User hereby acknowledges, accepts, and declares that all information provided as part of the Content Characteristics in relation to the access to and use of the Site is for informational and general reference purposes only. The Site strives to provide accurate information, but the Company does not guarantee, represent, or ensure that the information is updated, complete, accurate, or timely. For this reason, the User acknowledges and expressly accepts that (i) it is not relying, nor will it rely, on any of the information contained on the Site or any other Interface for any purpose; (ii) it irrevocably waives any right, claim, or action arising from the reliance placed on any information of the Site or within the Functionalities, and (iii) it totally and irrevocably exonerates and releases the Company from any liability for such information provided or any decision made on the basis of it.

The User acknowledges and accepts that the Company shall not be responsible for any loss, damage, cost, or expense that the User may suffer as a result of any of the aforementioned circumstances, and the User expressly exonerates and releases the Company from all liability related to the inaccessibility or inoperability of the Site, the Interfaces, or the Functionalities.
The User must take all necessary measures to independently verify any information on the Site and any Interface on which it intends to rely, with such verification being its exclusive responsibility. The User must not take actions or decisions based solely on any information contained in the Interfaces, including without limitation blog posts, data, articles, links to third-party content, social media content, news feeds, tutorials, and videos. Any action or decision that the User takes on the basis of such information shall be at its own and exclusive risk, without this generating any liability for the Company.
None of the information provided on the Site, any other Interface, or through the Functionalities should be interpreted as professional, financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, nor as any recommendation. The Company has no duties or obligations toward the User based on the information provided on the Site, any other Interface, or through the Functionalities. The User acknowledges and expressly accepts that all information provided in relation to its access to and use of the Site, any other Interface, and the Functionalities is for informational purposes only and must not be interpreted as professional advice of any kind.

Before you make any financial, legal, or other decision involving the Functionalities, the User should seek independent professional advice from an individual who is duly licensed and qualified in the area for which such advice would be appropriate. These Terms are not intended to, and do not create or impose fiduciary duties of loyalty, of care, or of any other nature upon the Company. The User accepts and acknowledges that the only duties and obligations that the Company has toward the User are those expressly established in these Terms, and the User irrevocably exonerates and releases the Company from any other duty, obligation, or liability not expressly established therein.
None of the information provided on the Site, any other Interface, or through the Functionalities shall be interpreted as an invitation, inducement, offer, solicitation, or recommendation to (i) exercise any rights to acquire, dispose of, underwrite, exchange, or convert any cryptoassets or digital assets; (ii) buy, sell, or induce a user to buy or sell any cryptoassets or digital assets; or (iii) participate in any transaction or investment strategy. The User acknowledges and expressly accepts that the Company does not carry out any activity that could constitute a public offering of securities, intermediation, brokerage, or investment advisory services, and the User irrevocably exonerates and releases the Company from any liability arising from the contrary interpretation by the User or by third parties.
The Company is not acting, has not acted, and will not act as an investment, trading, tax, accounting, legal, regulatory, or other professional adviser for any person, and the User so acknowledges and expressly accepts. The User totally and irrevocably exonerates and releases the Company from any liability, claim, damage, or harm that may arise from the provision or alleged provision of any type of advice, and declares that any decision it makes in relation to the Functionalities shall be at its own and exclusive risk and responsibility.
The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify the Terms at any time or from time to time. The modified Terms will be published on the Site and any other Interface and will provide the last updated date at the top. Any modified Terms will become effective upon their publication. By continuing to access, use, or otherwise interact with any Interface or Functionality after the effective date of any modification to the Terms, you are providing your explicit agreement to be bound by the Terms as modified. If you do not agree to be bound by the updated Terms, you are prohibited from using, accessing, or otherwise interacting with the Interfaces or Functionalities. It is your responsibility to check any Interface that you use regularly for modifications to the Terms. The continued use of the Platform after the publication of modifications shall constitute acceptance of such modifications.
The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify, substitute, eliminate, restrict access to, or add to the Site, any other Interface, or any Functionality at any time and from time to time, with or without notice to you, including eliminating or otherwise materially modifying content and information.
The Company, at its sole discretion, from time to time, and with or without prior notice to the User, may modify, suspend, or disable (temporarily or permanently) the Site, any other Interface, or the Functionalities, in whole or in part, for any reason, including without limitation, allowing only open contracts to be closed. Upon termination of your access, your right to use the Site, any other Interface, or the Functionalities will immediately cease. The Company shall not be responsible for losses suffered by the User resulting from any modification to any Site, any other Interface, or Functionalities or from any modification, suspension, or termination, for any reason, of your access to all or any portion of the Site, any other Interface, or the Functionalities. The Site, any other Interface, and the Functionalities may evolve, which means that the Company may apply changes to, replace, or discontinue (temporarily or permanently) the Site, any other Interface, or the Functionalities at any time at its sole discretion.
Sections 5, and 7-10 of these Terms will survive any termination of your access to the Site, any other Interface, or the Functionalities, regardless of the reasons for its expiration or termination, in addition to any other provision which by law or by its nature should survive.
The User, upon accepting these Terms, acknowledges, understands, and accepts that the use of the Functionalities, including entering into Contracts through the Platform, entails significant risks.
In particular, the User acknowledges and accepts that:
The use of the Functionalities, in particular entering into Contracts on the Platform, may carry significant financial risk.
The Contracts available on the Platform are instruments of a high-risk, speculative, experimental, and volatile character.
Participation in such Contracts, being inherently risky by their nature, may result in the total loss of the amount of the resources contributed, without the possibility of recovery.
The transactions carried out by means of blockchain technology are irreversible, final, and not susceptible to cancellation or reversal.
The outcomes of the Contracts depend on uncertain, external events beyond the control of the Company.
The Platform does not guarantee returns, results, or benefits of any kind.
Any information available on the Platform does not constitute financial advice, investment recommendation, or suggestion to participate in the Contracts.
The User is solely responsible for evaluating whether participation in the Contracts is appropriate in accordance with their personal circumstances, financial situation, and risk tolerance.
By accepting these Terms, You expressly declare that you fully understand the risks associated with the use of the Platform, that you decide to participate under your exclusive responsibility, and acknowledge that the Company shall not be responsible for losses arising from participation in the Contracts, except in the cases expressly provided for in applicable law.
You acknowledge and accept that you will access and use the Site, any other Interface, and the Functionalities, including the Contracts and the Platform, at your own and exclusive risk, expressly exonerating and releasing the Company from any liability arising from such risks. The risk of loss in carrying out transactions in cryptoassets using Contracts may be substantial. Therefore, you should carefully consider whether such transactions are appropriate for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources.
Additionally, such risks and adverse outcomes may be exacerbated when leverage and/or derivative products are used, and we may, at any time and at our sole discretion, choose to suspend or terminate our support of any or all of the supported Contracts without any liability for the Company. It is clarified from this moment that, by using the Platform to trade and enter into Contracts, you may lose up to the entire amount of the resources contributed to the Contract.
The Company may require the user to expressly and independently accept this risk disclosure by means of electronic mechanisms within the Platform.

These Terms and any action, demand, claim, or controversy related thereto will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the Panama Arbitration Law (Ley 131 de 2013, or any law that amends, replaces, or supersedes it) and the other laws of the Republic of Panama, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions or rules of private international law that could result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 9 "Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver," the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes that you and the Company are not required to arbitrate will be the courts located in Panama City, Republic of Panama, and You irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction, competence, and venue in such courts, including any allegation of forum non conveniens.
Before You or the Company (together, the "Parties") assert any claim against the other for damages or relief of any kind, the Parties agree to make a good-faith attempt to resolve the dispute using the following procedures. Each Party agrees that, before initiating or demanding a formal proceeding, the Parties will meet and confer in a good-faith effort to informally resolve any claim arising out of these Terms of Use or your use of the Site.
To initiate a claim, a Party must, as a condition precedent to participating in the rest of the dispute resolution process, notify the other Party in writing of the intention to file a complaint. If you intend to initiate such a claim, you must send an electronic communication to the Company at legal@palpito.com with "Complaint Resolution Process" in the subject line, and include the following information:
Similarly, if the Company intends to initiate such a claim, the Company must send an electronic communication to You with the following information:
The Initial Dispute Resolution Process cannot begin without the sending of a written communication containing the information outlined above. After sixty (60) business days have elapsed following the sending of a complaint by one Party to the other, if it included all the required information listed above, and if for any reason the complaint has not been resolved, the complaining Party may then, and only then, pursue a formal claim as provided below.
The Parties will use their best efforts to resolve any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement and engage in good-faith negotiations which will be a condition precedent for either of the Parties to initiate a formal claim as provided in this Agreement. If the Parties do not reach a resolution within the timeframe of sixty (60) business days, or any other period of time that may be required by law, from the moment all the required complaint information is delivered (the "Tolling Period"), then either of the Parties may initiate binding arbitration, as the sole and exclusive dispute resolution process in accordance with the Binding Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver below, except as expressly established therein.
To the extent that the process described herein is inconsistent with the requirements of the governing jurisdiction, it will be modified to conform to the laws of such jurisdiction.
The Parties agree that any relevant limitations period will be tolled during (and by) the Tolling Period.
In the event of any claim or arbitration between the Parties, as set forth below, the Company may, at its sole discretion, in accordance with the Applicable Laws and without any liability, temporarily suspend or terminate your account and/or restrict your access to the Site, any other Interface, or Functionalities.
This provision is independent of the Contract resolution mechanics established in these Terms. The User acknowledges and accepts that the determination of the outcome of any Contract in accordance with such mechanics is final and binding, and shall not be subject to review by means of the dispute resolution procedures provided for in the following section.
Each Contract listed on the Platform will be subject to specific rules published before the start of trading, which may include, among others, the trading period, the relevant information sources, the resolution and settlement mechanisms, as well as any other terms, conditions, and operational mechanisms applicable. The User acknowledges and accepts that it is its responsibility to review such rules before participating in any market.
The Company may use internal mechanisms, decentralized oracles, information sources, or any combination of the foregoing for the resolution, determination, or verification of the outcomes of each Contract based on the published rules and on the information that it reasonably considers reliable. Such determination will be final and binding for the User and shall not be subject to review or challenge, except in the case of manifest material error, the determination of which shall correspond exclusively to the Company.
The Company reserves the right to cancel, suspend, or modify the resolution of any market when, at its sole discretion, the underlying event is not resolvable, there is ambiguity in its outcome, or the relevant information sources are not available or turn out to be inconsistent.
In the event of cancellation, the Company will determine the applicable form of settlement, including the return of funds, in whole or in part, in accordance with reasonable and consistent criteria.
Please read this binding arbitration agreement ("Arbitration Agreement") and class action waiver ("Class Action Waiver" and together the "Agreement") carefully because it requires the Parties to arbitrate certain disputes and claims on an individual basis only and limits the manner in which the Parties may seek actions against each other. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Terms, Interfaces, or Functionalities, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of the Terms, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this arbitration agreement, will be determined by arbitration before one arbitrator.
The arbitration will be administered by an arbitration center in Panama City, Republic of Panama, in accordance with the applicable rules in effect at the time of the submission of the dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Terms, Interfaces, or Functionalities, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of the Terms. The seat of arbitration will be Panama City, Republic of Panama and the arbitration will be conducted in the Spanish language, except as otherwise agreed between the Parties. The arbitral award will be final and binding for the Parties and may be enforced before any competent court.
This Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver apply to any claims you may currently possess and any claim that may arise in the future. This clause will not prevent the Parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
The Parties' Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver mandate that all past, pending, and/or future disputes between You and the Company be resolved by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis only for your own losses. Under these terms, you may not proceed as a class representative, as a member or part of any proposed class, collective action, as a legal representative or under any representative mechanism, qui tam action, and you may not otherwise seek to recover damages from or compensation of any kind on behalf of others. You and the Company further agree that any arbitration in accordance with this Agreement will not proceed as a class, group, or representative action. Additionally, You acknowledge that your arbitration agreement means that you will not be able to seek damages in court or present your case to a jury.
By using, or otherwise accessing the Site, or clicking to accept or agree to the Terms, You confirm that you have read and accept and agree to this Agreement. Except to the extent that you may opt out as provided below, all of your activity using the Site, any other Interface, or Functionalities, including all events that occurred before your acceptance of the Terms, will be subject to the Agreement.
Except as otherwise established herein, the Parties agree that any past, pending, or future dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to your activity using the Site, any other Interface, or Functionalities, these Terms (including without limitation any dispute concerning the breach, enforcement, construction, validity, interpretation, enforceability, or submission to arbitration thereof) (a "Dispute"), will ultimately be resolved by arbitration, including claims that arose before the acceptance of any version of these Terms.
Additionally, in the event of any Dispute concerning or relating to these Terms, including the scope, validity, enforceability, or severability of the Arbitration Agreement, as well as the submission to arbitration of any claims, the Parties agree and delegate to the arbitrator the exclusive jurisdiction to rule on its own jurisdiction over the Dispute, including any objections regarding the scope, validity, enforceability, or severability of this Agreement or its provisions, as well as the submission to arbitration of any claims or counterclaims filed as part of the Dispute.
This Agreement will be binding upon you, your successors, assignees, heirs, representatives, beneficiaries, and upon any other person or party that claims an interest on your behalf or on behalf of your estate.
The Company also agrees that this Agreement is intended to benefit and will bind any successor in interest or assignee of the Company.
Notwithstanding the requirement to arbitrate herein, the Parties are NOT required to arbitrate any claims for the allegedly unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, visual identity, logos, trade secrets, or patents, and the Parties agree that in the event of alleged infringement of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, visual identity, logos, trade secrets, or patents by a Party, they will also have the right to seek legal and injunctive actions and the Parties may not hold a user's access to the Site, any other Interface, or Functionalities as a basis for enforcing an arbitration agreement with respect to such claims.
The Parties acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement is a separate agreement between the Parties and that any alleged or determined invalidity or illegality of all or any part of the Terms of Use, the Site, any other Interface, Functionalities, and/or Privacy Policy will have no effect on the validity and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement.
Upon initiating an arbitration proceeding, a Party certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, formed after a reasonable inquiry under the circumstances, that: (i) the arbitration proceeding is not being pursued for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or unnecessarily increase the cost of dispute resolution; (ii) the claims and other legal allegations are warranted by existing law or by a non-frivolous argument to extend, modify, or reverse existing law or to establish new law; and (iii) the factual allegations have evidentiary support or, if specifically identified as such, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for investigation or additional evidentiary stage.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, You may not proceed in arbitration or in court as a class representative, member or part of any proposed class, collective action, lawsuit as a representative or legal proxy, qui tam action, or any representative proceeding, or otherwise seek to recover on behalf of others or for the benefit or use of others in any type of claim or action. You agree that you are waiving rights to participate in a class action, and that, by accepting these terms, you waive your right to participate in any future class action or any other consolidated or representative proceeding, including any proceeding existing as of the date on which you accepted these Terms.
You may opt out of the Arbitration Agreement by following the instructions below:
If you do not wish to accept the provisions of this section that require arbitration, you must send written notice of your intention to opt out. This notice must include your first and last name, email, phone number, and state your intention to opt out of arbitration. This notice must be received by the Company at the attention email legal@palpito.com, no later than thirty (30) days after you entered into these Terms.
If you have previously accepted an arbitration provision in connection with your use of the Site, any other Interface, and/or Functionalities and you choose to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, the latest version of the arbitration provision to which you agreed will apply to any Dispute between the Parties.
You hereby agree to take all reasonable measures to conduct additional investigation and consult with legal counsel (at your cost) regarding the consequences of your decisions regarding arbitration and opting out of arbitration.
This Arbitration Agreement applies solely to the extent permitted by law. If for any reason any provision of this Arbitration Agreement, or portion thereof, is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part of this Arbitration Agreement will be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect. To the greatest extent permitted by law and equity, the Parties agree that any unenforceable provision may be corrected or otherwise interpreted by the forum presiding over any dispute to give effect to the intent of the Parties as consistent with the general purpose and intent of the Arbitration Agreement, and may be deemed replaced by an enforceable provision that most closely approximates the intent underlying the unenforceable provision.
The Terms, including any policies that expressly incorporate the Terms by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the subject matter herein. The Terms supersede all prior or contemporaneous representations, understandings, agreements, or communications between you and us, if any, whether written or verbal, regarding the subject matter of the Terms.
Nothing in the Terms shall be construed to create any relationship between you and us other than as defined herein. Neither you nor we are an agent of the other under these Terms or otherwise, and you will not have the right to present yourself in any way as having a relationship with us other than as someone using, accessing, or otherwise interacting with the Interface and/or Functionalities. Nothing in these Terms will create a relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, or agency between the Parties.
You agree that you are not permitted to assign or otherwise transfer any of your rights and obligations under the Terms, without the prior written consent of the Company, but the Company may assign or transfer the Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction and without the need for notice to or consent of the User. Any assignment or transfer in violation of this Section will be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, the Terms will be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assignees.
The failure by us to enforce any provision of the Terms will not constitute a present or future waiver of such provision nor limit our right to enforce such provision at a later time. No waiver of any right under these Terms will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Company. No waiver by the Company of any breach will constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.
If any portion of the Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a competent court or body, the remaining portions of the Terms will remain in full force and effect. Any invalid or unenforceable portions will be interpreted to effectuate the intent of the original portion to the greatest extent permitted by law. If such construction is not possible, the invalid or unenforceable portion will be severed from the Terms, but the rest of the Terms will remain in full force and effect, and the User agrees to be bound by the remaining provisions.
Any right or action of the Company set forth in these Terms is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other right or remedy whether described in these Terms, under Applicable Law, at law, or in equity. The failure or delay of the Company in exercising or enforcing any right, power, or privilege under these Terms will not operate as a waiver thereof.
