Terms of Service

Last Updated: October 14, 2026

Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”) carefully. These Terms are a binding agreement between SDRL Inc. (“SDRL Inc.,” “us,” or “we”) and (i) each member of, or applicant for membership in, one of the communities operated by us (a “Community”), or (ii) any other user of SDRL Inc.’s Services or visitor to our websites and other internet properties, including without limitation https://www.sdrleader.com, https://pipelineconference.io, https://www.pipelineconferenceeurope.com, online platforms, profiles and groups on social media sites owned and managed by SDRL Inc., and any other digital platforms, websites or properties operated, maintained, or used by SDRL Inc. from time to time (collectively, the “Sites”). Such Community members, Service recipients, and web visitors may also be referred to as “you.”

PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE TERMS REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY; I.E., CASE CONSOLIDATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED IN ORDER TO RESOLVE DISPUTES.

By submitting an application to become a member of any Community (a “Member”), by using your Community membership or any of the benefits of your membership (collectively, your “Membership”) in any way or for any purpose, by using any Company Materials (defined below), or by accessing or using any part of our Services (defined below), you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms, including our Privacy Policy (https://www.sdrleader.com/privacy-policy) and Code of Conduct (https://www.sdrleader.com/code-of-conduct), which are incorporated herein by reference, as well as all other operating rules, terms, conditions, policies, and procedures that may be published from time to time on or through our Sites or of which you have been made aware by us, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety and each of which may be updated from time to time.

Where we present these Terms to you through an online interface and ask you to indicate your agreement, such as by checking a box, clicking a button marked “I Agree,” “Accept,” or similar, or otherwise affirmatively acknowledging these Terms (for example, when you first log in following an update to these Terms, or when you register for an Event, including online and in person), you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms, including our Privacy Policy and Code of Conduct, as of the time you do so. When we present them together with an acknowledgment of our Privacy Policy, your acceptance also confirms that you have been given the opportunity to review the Privacy Policy. You agree that this affirmative acceptance applies to your access to and use of the Services and, to the extent described in these Terms and our Privacy Policy, to information previously collected from or about you. Many Event participants take part in Events without logging in to the Sites; accepting these Terms at Event registration creates a record of acceptance for those participants on the same basis.

If you do not agree with all of the provisions of these Terms, do not submit an application to become a Member, or, if already a Member, do not continue to use your Membership, and otherwise do not access, use, or continue to use any of the Services, including any part of the Sites or any Company Materials.

1. Scope of Terms

These Terms set forth the terms and conditions governing your access to and use of the Sites, your Membership, and your access to, participation in, and use of or other dealing with SDRL Inc.’s services, Events, and the Company Materials (as defined below) (collectively, the “Services”).

2. Additional Terms

Your use of some components, portions or features of the Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions as specified by us from time to time. Such additional terms and conditions are incorporated in their entirety into these Terms by reference, including any additional terms with regard to specific Membership benefits, features or limitations described through the Sites. In the event of a conflict between any such additional terms, or any other agreement between you and us, and any provision in these Terms, such additional terms or other agreement shall govern, but only with respect to the activity to which they apply.

3. Using the Services on Behalf of a Legal Entity

If you take any action or engage in any conduct governed by these Terms at the direction of or on behalf of a legal entity (including using any of the Services through any account created by and/or for such legal entity), “you” refers to both you as the individual and that legal entity.

4. Privacy Policy

We treat any Personal Information (as defined in our Privacy Policy) that we obtain about or from you, whether through the Services or otherwise, in accordance with our Privacy Policy, available at https://www.sdrleader.com/privacy-policy, which is fully incorporated by reference into these Terms. The Privacy Policy describes, among other things, how we share and may sell Personal Information (including Member engagement information) and how we use community content in connection with artificial intelligence.

5. Right to Become a Member or to Use the Services

5.1 Unless we agree otherwise in writing, you apply for and are a Member of a specific Community only, not all Communities. Membership criteria may vary by Community.

5.2 We only approve the Membership applications of individuals meeting our criteria (which may vary by Community), and you acknowledge and agree that you may only become a Member if we, in our sole discretion, approve your application. We may, in our sole discretion, refuse to offer Membership or access to or use of the Services to any Person, and we may change our eligibility criteria at any time.

5.3 If you are under age 18, you may not, under any circumstances or for any reason, become a Member or use any part of the Services, whether for your own use or on behalf of a legal entity.

5.4 You are solely responsible for ensuring that your Membership, your access to or use of the Services, and these Terms comply with all Applicable Laws. Your right to be a Member or to access or use any part of the Services is automatically revoked, without notice from us, where these Terms, your Membership, or your use of any part of the Services is prohibited by any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to you. Unless you and SDRL Inc. expressly agree otherwise in writing, your Membership and the Services are made available only for your use and benefit and not for the use or benefit of any other party.

5.5 FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, SDRL INC. RETAINS THE RIGHT IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION TO DENY USE OR ACCESS TO ANYONE TO ALL OR ANY PART OF THE SERVICES AT ANY TIME AND FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FOR VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS.

5.6 Sanctions and Export Compliance. You represent and warrant that you are not, and are not acting on behalf of or for the benefit of, any person that is (a) the subject or target of sanctions administered or enforced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the U.S. Department of State, the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, His Majesty’s Treasury, or other applicable sanctions authority; (b) located, organized, or resident in a country or territory that is itself the subject of comprehensive sanctions or embargo; or (c) identified on any applicable list of prohibited or restricted parties. You will not use the Services in violation of any applicable export control, anti-money-laundering, or sanctions Applicable Law.

5.7 One Account. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, you may hold only one Membership account, you may register only for yourself and not on behalf of any other individual, and you may not create an account through automated or fraudulent means. You are responsible for all activity occurring under your account.

6. Authorization to Use

SDRL Inc. hereby provides you with a personal, revocable, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free authorization to access and use the Services, including the Sites and the Company Materials, conditioned on your continued acceptance of, and compliance with, these Terms.

All rights not expressly granted to you herein are reserved to SDRL Inc. and its licensors and other providers.

8. Restrictions on Use

Login credentials associated with your Membership are for your use only; no other Person is permitted to use your login credentials. You must employ commercially reasonable safeguards to prevent unauthorized access to or use of the Services through your credentials, and you are solely responsible and liable for all activities done through or in connection with your login credentials, whether or not done by you, including by any Person acting at your direction or on your behalf.

Contact us immediately at info@sdrleader.com if you become aware of or believe there has been any unauthorized use of your login credentials or wish to deactivate them for security reasons.

10. Free Trials

SDRL Inc., in its sole discretion, may offer you an opportunity to access or use some or all of the Services free of charge for a limited period of time (a “Free Trial”). If you accept such an invitation, you will be deemed to have accepted all of these Terms.

11. Membership

11.1 Exclusivity of Members. Except for Company Materials and Sites open to the general public, or where we have expressly stated that a particular Service is available to non-Members, any use of or access to the Services is limited to Members in good standing only.

11.2 Community Membership. Unless SDRL Inc. agrees otherwise in writing, the benefits of your Membership are limited to those rights to access and use the Services that SDRL Inc. provides to Members of the Community you are a Member of.

11.3 Accurate Information. You represent, warrant, and covenant that all information you have included in your Membership application or otherwise provided to us was at the time of disclosure, and remains, true, correct, and without material omission, and you covenant to update that information if it is no longer entirely true, correct and complete. You can update your information at www.sdrleader.com/account or by contacting us.

11.4 Membership Term. Your Membership, and your rights and obligations as a Member, continue until your Membership expires or is terminated by you or by SDRL Inc.

11.5 Cancellation. You may cancel your Membership at any time by emailing us at info@sdrleader.com. Unless you tell us otherwise, cancellation goes into effect as soon as it is processed. SDRL Inc. is not obligated to offer any refunds or credits if your Membership is canceled for any reason.

12. Membership Fees and Billing

12.1 Current Model; Future Paid Offerings. Membership is currently offered at no charge. SDRL Inc. may in the future offer paid Membership tiers, subscriptions, Events, or other paid features or offerings. The remainder of this Section 12 applies if and to the extent that you purchase any paid Membership or other paid offering (any fee therefor, a “Membership Fee”).

12.2 Fees. Your Membership Fee shall initially be the amount communicated to you at or before purchase. SDRL INC. RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MODIFY MEMBERSHIP FEES AS IT SEES FIT IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION AND AT ANY TIME by notifying you directly or by announcing a modification through the Sites. No other notice is required.

12.3 Billing. Membership Fees will be billed to the credit card, debit card or other payment card you provide for this purpose (your “Payment Card”).

12.4 No Prorated Refunds. No refund of billed Membership Fees will be provided even if your Membership is terminated in the middle, rather than at the end, of your Membership term, regardless of whether your Membership was terminated by you or by SDRL Inc. or why it was terminated.

12.5 Billing Information. You agree to provide accurate and up-to-date Payment Card and billing information (“Billing Information”) and to keep it accurate and up to date.

12.6 Payment Processor. Your Billing Information is handled by one or more third-party payment processors that we contract with (currently Stripe, Inc.), not by SDRL Inc. Online payment transactions are subject to validation checks by our payment processor and your Payment Card issuer, and we are not responsible if your Payment Card issuer declines to authorize payment. Your issuer may charge you handling or processing fees, for which we are not responsible. For more information about how we use your Billing Information, please review the Privacy Policy.

12.7 Taxes and Fees. All Membership Fees and other amounts payable by you are exclusive of all taxes, assessments, duties, levies, card or payment-related fees, and similar charges, all of which are your sole responsibility other than taxes imposed on SDRL Inc.’s income, profits or net worth.

12.8 Failure to Timely Pay. If you fail to pay Membership Fees in full when due then, in addition to all other remedies available to us, we may without notice suspend your right and/or ability to access or use any or all of the Services until all past due amounts and interest thereon have been paid, with no obligation or liability to you or any other Person by reason of such suspension.

12.9 Changes to Memberships. SDRL Inc. reserves the right to modify or discontinue any type of Membership, fees, benefits, features and limitations at any time, in its sole discretion, by notifying you directly or announcing the change through the Sites (a “Membership Change”). If you have already paid for a Membership when a Membership Change affecting your Membership Fees is made, the change will take effect at your next renewal (or sooner upon written notice in extraordinary circumstances). All other Membership Changes are effective upon notification. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ANY MEMBERSHIP CHANGE, YOUR SOLE REMEDY IS TO CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP AND IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE ALL ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES.

12.10 Automatic Renewal; Cancellation. If and when SDRL Inc. offers paid Membership tiers or subscriptions on an automatically renewing basis, then, in addition to the other provisions of this Section 12 and to the extent required by Applicable Law: (a) your paid subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle for a successive period of the same length, and your Payment Card will be charged the then-current Membership Fee (plus applicable taxes) at the start of each renewal term, unless and until you cancel; (b) we will present the automatic-renewal and cancellation terms clearly and conspicuously and obtain your affirmative consent before charging, and, where required (including under the California Automatic Renewal Law and the New York automatic-renewal statute), will provide the acknowledgment and renewal reminders those laws require; and (c) you may cancel automatic renewal at any time through your account settings or by contacting us at info@sdrleader.com, with cancellation effective at the end of the then-current billing cycle. Except as required by Applicable Law or expressly stated in these Terms, no refunds or credits will be provided for partial billing periods.

13. Code of Conduct; Events; Interactive Features; Member Contributions

13.1 Code of Conduct. Your involvement in all Events, all other aspects of SDRL Inc.’s Communities, and all Member Contributions (defined below) must comply with our Code of Conduct.

13.2 Interactive Features. The Services may include message boards, chat rooms, personal pages or profiles, forums, interactive messaging channels, real-time audio/video platforms, AI-powered features, and other interactive features that allow Members to post, submit, publish, display, or transmit (“post”) content or materials on or through the Sites. Any such interactive features are deemed part of the Sites.

13.3 Events; Additional Terms and Conditions for Events. The Services may include Events of different sorts. You acknowledge and agree to each of the following as lawful consideration for being permitted to participate in any Event:

13.3.1 YOU ARE AWARE AND UNDERSTAND THAT AN EVENT MAY INCLUDE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE DANGEROUS AND THAT INVOLVE THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DEATH AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. IF THAT IS THE CASE, YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY INJURIES YOU MAY SUSTAIN MAY BE COMPOUNDED BY NEGLIGENT EMERGENCY RESPONSE BY SDRL INC. OR OTHERS. PROVIDED THAT SDRL INC. HAS INFORMED YOU AS TO THE NATURE OF ANY SUCH DANGEROUS ACTIVITIES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY PARTICIPATING IN ANY SUCH ACTIVITIES WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE DANGER INVOLVED AND HEREBY AGREE TO ACCEPT AND ASSUME ANY AND ALL RISKS OF INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, WHETHER CAUSED BY SDRL INC.’S NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE.

13.3.2 In addition to any other waiver and release of Claims in these Terms, you hereby expressly waive and release any and all Claims, now known or hereafter known, against SDRL Inc., its Personnel, and its and their successors and assigns (collectively, “Event Releasees”) arising out of or attributable to the activities taking place at or in connection with an Event, whether arising out of the negligence of SDRL Inc., any other Event Releasee or otherwise. You covenant not to make or bring any such Claim against any Event Releasee and forever release and discharge the Event Releasees from liability under such Claims. If you are a resident of California, you expressly waive the protections of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” You knowingly and voluntarily waive the benefit of Section 1542 and any similar statute, rule, or principle of law in any other jurisdiction, and you assume the risk of Claims that are presently unknown, unanticipated, or unsuspected.

13.3.3 Event Recordings. You acknowledge and agree that your attendance at and participation in any Event may be recorded by one or more methods and in any audio, video, digital or other formats (an “Event Recording”), by, on behalf of or at the direction of SDRL Inc., and you hereby irrevocably grant and license to SDRL Inc. and its affiliates, successors, licensees, agents, and assigns (“Authorized Persons”) the rights to digitize, modify, alter, edit, adapt, create derivative works, display, publicly perform, exhibit, transmit, broadcast, reproduce, exploit, sell, rent, license, otherwise use, and permit others to use, an Event Recording, including your name, image, likeness, appearance, and voice as they appear in an Event Recording, in perpetuity throughout the universe and in any medium or format whatsoever now existing or hereafter created — including, without limitation, to develop, train, fine-tune, test, and operate artificial intelligence and machine learning models, features, and products — without further consent from, or any royalty, payment, or other compensation to, you, except as these Terms may expressly provide otherwise.

13.3.4 You further irrevocably permit, authorize, and license SDRL Inc. and the Authorized Persons to identify you by name and use your name, likeness, appearance, voice, professional and personal biographical information, signature, and other personal characteristics, and all Company Materials created by or on behalf of SDRL Inc. that incorporate any of the foregoing, in connection with any use of an Event Recording, in perpetuity throughout the universe and in any medium or format whatsoever, without further consent or compensation.

13.3.5 You agree that SDRL Inc. is and will be the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title, and interest in and to each Event Recording and anything made from or that incorporates any part of an Event Recording, including all copyrights and other Intellectual Property Rights therein, in perpetuity. The results and proceeds of your participation in connection with an Event Recording are works made for hire for SDRL Inc. as defined in Section 101 of the Copyright Act of 1976. To the extent any Event Recording or part thereof does not qualify as a work made for hire, you hereby (a) assign, transfer, and convey to SDRL Inc., irrevocably and in perpetuity, all of your right, title, and interest in and to such Event Recording, including all Intellectual Property Rights and the right to register and sue to enforce such rights; and (b) irrevocably waive any and all claims you may have in any jurisdiction to moral rights or rights of droit moral in such Event Recording.

13.3.6 SDRL Inc. has no obligation to use any Event Recording. You have no right to review or approve any Event Recording or any use of it, and SDRL Inc. has no liability to you for any editing, alteration, or use of an Event Recording or the presentation of yourself. Any acknowledgment or credit shall be determined by SDRL Inc. in its sole discretion.

13.3.7 To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, you (a) irrevocably waive all legal and equitable rights relating to any Claims arising directly or indirectly from the Authorized Persons’ exercise of their rights under these Terms or the production, exhibition, advertising, promotion, exploitation, or other use of an Event Recording, whether or not resulting in whole or in part from negligence, (b) covenant not to make or bring any such Claim against any Authorized Person, and (c) forever release and discharge the Authorized Persons from liability under such Claims.

13.3.8 You represent and warrant that your participation in any Event and Event Recording, and the Authorized Persons’ use of such Event Recording and the rights granted hereunder, do not and will not violate any right of, or conflict with or violate any contract with or commitment to, any Person, and that no consent or payment to any third party is required.

13.4 Definition of “Member Contribution.” “Member Contribution” means anything that you express or do (or omit to express or do) in connection with any Community or otherwise in connection with any other Member or other Person accessing or using any of the Services, including your actions at any Event, any content or materials you post, upload to or link through the Sites, your survey and research responses, and any inputs you submit to AI Features (defined below).

13.5 Status of Member Contributions. You acknowledge and agree that, as between you and SDRL Inc., your Member Contributions shall be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. Subject to our Privacy Policy, by making any Member Contribution, you grant us, our licensees, service providers and other vendors, and each of our and their respective licensees, successors, and assigns a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use, reproduce, modify, perform, display, distribute, create derivative works from, and otherwise disclose to third parties any such material for any purpose, including, without limitation, to develop, train, fine-tune, test, and operate artificial intelligence and machine learning models, features, and products (including AI Features made available to Members or third parties). In connection therewith, you represent and warrant that:

13.5.1 you own or control all rights in and to all your Member Contributions and have the right to grant the license set forth above

13.5.2 all of your Member Contributions do and will comply with these Terms (including the Code of Conduct)

13.5.3 you, not SDRL Inc., are fully responsible for your Member Contributions, including their legality, reliability, accuracy, and appropriateness.

13.6 Enforcement. SDRL Inc. has the right to:

13.6.1 remove or refuse to post any Member Contribution for any or no reason in our sole discretion

13.6.2 take any action with respect to any Member Contribution that we deem necessary or appropriate, including if we believe it violates the Terms (including the Code of Conduct), infringes any rights of any Person, threatens the personal safety of anyone, or could create liability for the Company

13.6.3 disclose your identity or other information about you to any third party who claims that any Member Contribution violates their rights.

Without limiting the foregoing, we have the right to cooperate fully with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity or other information of anyone making or posting any Member Contribution. YOU WAIVE AND HOLD HARMLESS SDRL INC., ITS PERSONNEL, LICENSEES, SERVICE PROVIDERS AND OTHER VENDORS FROM ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN BY ANY OF THE FOREGOING PARTIES DURING, OR TAKEN AS A CONSEQUENCE OF, INVESTIGATIONS BY ANY SUCH PARTY, ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY OR OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY.

13.7 No Prior Review; No Liability. SDRL Inc. does not undertake to review Member Contributions before they are made and cannot ensure prompt removal of objectionable Member Contributions. We assume no liability for any action or inaction regarding any Member Contributions, any violation of the Code of Conduct, or any other transmissions, communications, or content provided by any Member, other user or third party.

13.8 Copyright Infringement. If you believe that any Member Contribution violates your copyright, please see the notice procedure in Section 34.3. It is the policy of SDRL Inc. to terminate the Memberships and access rights of repeat infringers.

13.9 No Reliance. Except where we expressly state otherwise, any information or materials presented or shared with you on or through the Services — including Company Materials, Member Contributions, outputs of AI Features, and third-party content — are made available solely for general information purposes. We do not warrant their accuracy, completeness, or usefulness, and we recommend that you do not rely on them for legal, financial, or health-related purposes. Any reliance you place on such information or materials is strictly at your own risk, and we disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any such reliance. Statements and opinions in Member Contributions and third-party content are solely those of the Person providing them.

13.10 Linking to the Sites. You may link to our homepage provided you do so in a way that is fair and legal and does not damage or take advantage of our reputation, but you must not establish a link in such a way as to suggest any form of association, approval, or endorsement on our part without our express written consent.

14. Third-Party Platforms and Services

14.1 SDRL Inc. may use third-party websites, services or other resources to help provide certain Services (for example, membership platforms, video hosting, or videoconferencing), and may provide links to third-party websites, services or other resources, including our partners and social media networks (collectively, “External Platforms”).

14.2 Links to External Platforms, or arrangements between SDRL Inc. and External Platforms, are provided solely as a convenience and not as an endorsement of any content not provided by or at the direction of SDRL Inc. We are not responsible for the content of any External Platform and make no representations regarding such content. If you decide to access any External Platform, you do so at your own risk, and we shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any content, technology, goods or services available on or through any External Platform.

14.3 If you use any External Platform to access or use any of the Services, you agree to follow all terms, conditions, and notices applicable to that External Platform. If you are not willing to accept an External Platform’s terms, you may not use that External Platform to access the Services.

We also reserve the right to charge a separate or additional fee for any part of the Services that was previously provided free of charge.

17. Feedback

You shall and hereby do make all assignments necessary for SDRL Inc. to achieve such ownership.

18. Artificial Intelligence Features

18.1 AI Features. SDRL Inc. may make available features, tools, or products powered by artificial intelligence or machine learning, including assistants or models developed or trained in whole or in part on Company Materials, Member Contributions, Event Recordings, survey and research data, Engagement Information, and other community content (“AI Features”). Your use of AI Features is subject to these Terms and any additional terms presented with the feature.

18.2 Inputs and Outputs. You grant SDRL Inc. the license described in Section 13.5 with respect to any inputs, prompts, or other content you submit to an AI Feature. As between you and SDRL Inc., and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, SDRL Inc. owns or retains all rights in AI Features and in outputs generated by AI Features, and you receive only the limited authorization in Section 6 to use outputs in connection with your permitted use of the Services. You acknowledge that outputs are generated algorithmically, may be similar or identical to outputs provided to others, and may reflect or be derived from content contributed by Members and other sources.

18.3 No Reliance; Disclaimer. OUTPUTS OF AI FEATURES MAY BE INACCURATE, INCOMPLETE, OUT OF DATE, OR OTHERWISE MISLEADING, AND ARE PROVIDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. AI FEATURES DO NOT PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL, LEGAL, FINANCIAL, MEDICAL, OR EMPLOYMENT ADVICE. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR EVALUATING ANY OUTPUT BEFORE RELYING ON OR USING IT. SECTIONS 24 AND 25 APPLY FULLY TO AI FEATURES AND THEIR OUTPUTS.

18.4 Restrictions. You shall not use any AI Feature or its outputs to develop, train, improve, or provide any competing product, service, model, or dataset; to extract or reconstruct training data; or in violation of Section 8. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right in or to any training data, model weights, or other components of any AI Feature.

18.5 Beta and Preview Features. From time to time we may offer AI Features or other features that are identified as, or are by their nature, beta, preview, trial, early-access, or evaluation features (collectively, “Beta Features”). Beta Features are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, may contain errors or inaccuracies, may not operate as intended, and are made available for evaluation only. We may modify, suspend, limit, or discontinue any Beta Feature at any time in our sole discretion, without notice and without liability to you. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, we make no representations or warranties of any kind regarding Beta Features, and your use of any Beta Feature is at your sole risk.

IF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION IS UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO SET A HEARING DATE WITHIN ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY (160) DAYS OF FILING THE CASE, THEN EITHER WE OR YOU CAN ELECT TO HAVE THE ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED INSTEAD BY THE JUDICIAL ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION SERVICES. JUDGMENT ON THE AWARD RENDERED BY THE ARBITRATOR MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY WASHINGTON COURT HAVING COMPETENT JURISDICTION. ANY PROVISION OF APPLICABLE LAW NOTWITHSTANDING, THE ARBITRATOR WILL NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO AWARD DAMAGES, REMEDIES OR AWARDS THAT CONFLICT WITH THESE TERMS.
