Access to certain Products may not be available in Your jurisdiction.  You acknowledge and agree that the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to manage, modify, update, or cancel, in whole or in part, any Products, or programs under which Products may be purchased, used or redeemed, at any time.  However, if the Company modifies, updates or cancels any Products, or programs under which Items or Products may be purchased, used or redeemed, in a manner that materially diminishes the value of any Subscription Services You have purchased, the Company will notify You of the relevant change or cancellation, by in-app notice and/or by email notice to the email address associated with Your User account, at least seven (7) days in advance of the proposed effective date of the change, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Terms, You may cancel any affected Subscription Services at any time prior to the effective date of the change or cancellation without liability.  If You do not cancel the Subscription Services within such seven (7) day time period, You will be deemed to have assented to the relevant Product or program changes and, to the extent applicable, continued participation in the Subscription Services.  

The following provisions apply in lieu of (and supersede and replace) Article 3 of Section 2 Chapter 5 of the AZAR Terms of Service (Refunds):

Unless otherwise specified in these Terms or required under applicable law, any Products including without limitation the following are not refundable, in any event, after purchase:

1. Products that are in the possession of any Users whose use of AZAR has been suspended due to a violation of these Terms or illegal acts;
2. Products which have been used in whole or in part;
3. Products that were purchased more than five (5) years ago;

If You choose to cancel Your Subscription Services after the subscription period commences, the Company will determine whether You are eligible for any refunds in its sole discretion and will deduct from any amounts refundable to You a termination fee equal to the sum of (a) 10% of the charges corresponding to the remaining subscription period, or the highest amount permitted under applicable law, whichever is lesser, (b) any third party payment processing fees and costs proportional to the amount of subscription period that has lapsed, and (c) if, at the time of cancellation, You have already used any Gems that You received as part of the Subscription Services, the costs for such used Gems (collectively, the “Termination Fee”). The parties intend that the foregoing amounts constitute compensation, and not a penalty, and that the foregoing amounts are a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual harm to the Company that would result from Your early cancellation of Subscription Services. Your payment of the foregoing amounts is the Company’s exclusive remedy for early cancellation of the relevant Subscription Services. For clarity, except to the extent applicable law requires otherwise, the Company is not required to provide refunds, benefits, or other compensation if You cancel Your Subscription Services during the subscription period.

In addition, refunds for any and all Products as permitted under the applicable laws of Your jurisdiction will be processed, and may be limited, in accordance with the refund policies of the third party providing the payment processing services (i.e., Application Stores) that You used to purchase the Product. Therefore, We recommended that You check the respective refund provisions and policies of such third parties.

9. Dispute Resolution

ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

This Section includes an arbitration agreement and an agreement that all claims will be brought only in an individual capacity (and not as a class action or other representative proceeding). Please read it carefully. You may opt out of the arbitration agreement by following the opt out procedure described below.

• Arbitration Agreement. Any dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to Your use of AZAR, or relating in any way to the communications between You and the Company or any other User of AZAR, will be finally resolved by binding arbitration. This mandatory arbitration agreement applies equally to You and the Company. However, this arbitration agreement does not (a) govern any Claim by the Company for infringement of its intellectual property or access to AZAR that is unauthorized or exceeds authorization granted in these Terms or (b) bar You from making use of applicable small claims court procedures in appropriate cases. If You are an individual, You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within thirty (30) days of the first of the date You access or use AZAR by following the procedure described below.

• You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that You and the Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision will survive any termination of these Terms.

• The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this Section. (The AAA Rules are available at adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.)

• The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including without limitation any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or the Terms are void, voidable or otherwise invalid. However, the preceding sentence will not apply to the “Class Action Waiver” section below.

• The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

• If the value of Your claim does not exceed $10,000, the Company will pay for the reasonable filing, administrative and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of Your claim or the relief sought was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.

• If You do not want to arbitrate disputes with the Company and You are an individual, You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending an email to help@azarlive.com within thirty (30) days of the first of the date You access or use AZAR.

• CLASS ACTION WAIVER: ANY CLAIM MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE RESPECTIVE PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, MULTIPLE PLAINTIFF, OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING (“CLASS ACTION”). THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY ABILITY TO MAINTAIN ANY CLASS ACTION IN ANY FORUM. IF THE CLAIM IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION, THE ARBITRATOR WILL NOT HAVE AUTHORITY TO COMBINE OR AGGREGATE SIMILAR CLAIMS OR CONDUCT ANY CLASS ACTION NOR MAKE AN AWARD TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY NOT A PARTY TO THE ARBITRATION. ANY CLAIM THAT ALL OR PART OF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS UNENFORCEABLE, UNCONSCIONABLE, VOID, OR VOIDABLE MAY BE DETERMINED ONLY BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION AND NOT BY AN ARBITRATOR. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT ANY RIGHT TO LITIGATE IN COURT, TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE THEIR CASE, OR TO BE A PARTY TO A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, IS WAIVED, AND THAT ANY CLAIMS MUST BE DECIDED INDIVIDUALLY, THROUGH ARBITRATION.

• If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement, if otherwise effective, will be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, You and the Company each waive any right to a jury trial.
