This Beta Agreement will automatically expire at the end of your participation in the Beta Program unless terminated sooner in accordance with this Beta Agreement. Either party may terminate this Beta Agreement before the end of your participation in the Beta Program for any reason effective immediately upon written notice to the other party. This Beta Agreement will automatically terminate upon any breach by you of any of your obligations hereunder, including but not limited to breach of confidentiality obligations. You acknowledge that a breach by you of any of your obligations under the Beta Agreement may result in your immediate removal from the Beta Program. Upon Webflow’s request, you will return to Webflow any Webflow Proprietary Information in your control or possession.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Webflow harmless from and against any third-party demands, claims, proceedings, losses, liability, or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to (1) your use of any Beta Product(s) in a manner not expressly authorized by this Beta Agreement, or (2) any breach by you of this Beta Agreement.
13.1 Initial Dispute Resolution. To expedite resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this Beta Agreement (a “Dispute”), each party agrees to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations will commence upon written notice. Webflow’s address for such notices shall be as set forth above, with an electronic copy to legal@webflow.com. Your address for such notices is the email address you have previously exchanged and any mailing address you may have provided to Webflow.
13.2 Binding Arbitration. If you and Webflow are unable to resolve a Dispute as set forth above, all claims arising from or under this Beta Agreement (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. You understand that if either party elects to arbitrate, neither party will have the right to sue in court or have a jury trial. The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. The parties’ arbitration fees and share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the AAA Rules (and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules). If your claim for damages does not exceed $100, Webflow will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in its Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Beta Agreement, the parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. Arbitration will take place in San Francisco, California. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that for any Dispute not subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where no election to arbitrate has been made, the California state and Federal courts located in San Francisco, California have exclusive jurisdiction and the parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
13.3 Exceptions to Alternative Dispute Resolution. Each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court or to seek injunctive or other equitable relief on an individual basis in a federal or state court located within the Central District of California with respect to any dispute related to the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights.
13.4. Waiver Of Right to Be a Plaintiff or Class Member in a Purported Class Action or Representative Proceeding. You and Webflow agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Dispute between Webflow and you individually. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND Webflow ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Webflow otherwise agree, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this
13.5 Waiver of Jury Trial. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each party hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury of any arbitrable claim under this Beta Agreement and in connection with the enforcement of an arbitral award rendered pursuant to this Beta Agreement. Each party (i) certifies that no representatives, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party hereto have been induced to enter into this Beta Agreement.
13.6 Location of Arbitration. Arbitration will take place in San Francisco, California. You and Webflow agree that for any Dispute not subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where no election to arbitrate has been made, the California state and Federal courts located in San Francisco, California have exclusive jurisdiction and you and Webflow agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
This Beta Agreement is personal to you, is non-assignable by you, is governed by the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. If any provision of this Beta Agreement is found to be unenforceable, such provision will be limited or deleted to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms remain in full force and effect. The prevailing party in any dispute or legal action regarding the subject matter of this Beta Agreement shall be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees and costs.
