Welcome to Lifecrowd, a community marketplace to learn anything from anyone. Lifecrowd.com is operated by 310 Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("We", "Us" or "Lifecrowd").

Last revised and updated on October 31, 2012.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY.

Acceptance of Terms of Service

By using Lifecrowd.com ("Service"), completing the registration process, agreeing to offer your Activities through the Service or by otherwise accessing or using this website service, you agree to be bound by all of these terms and conditions ("Terms of Service").

We may update the Terms of Service at any time. It is your responsibility to review the most recent version of the Terms of Service and remain informed about any changes. Any new features to the current Service, as well as any other changes to the current Service, shall be subject to the Terms of Service.

Description of Service

Lifecrowd offers a variety of activities, amenities and/or services (collectively, "Activities") through its website ("Lifecrowd.com") that allows hosts ("Sellers") to collect activity registration fees from registered Crowders ("Buyers"). Payments from Buyers are transacted through PayPal and/or via credit card to Lifecrowd and remitted to the Seller in accordance with his Agreement. Buyers may elect to purchase Activities from Sellers, and Lifecrowd may facilitate communications between Buyers and Sellers, but all agreements and transactions for the purchase of such Activities and any ensuing interactions are directly between the Buyer and Seller.

Lifecrowd merely provides a platform that allows people seeking an Activity to connect with Sellers. Lifecrowd does not control or guarantee the quality or safety of any aspect of the Activities listed on the Service, the conduct of Buyers, or the ability of Sellers to provide Activities. However, for certain activities, Lifecrowd may act as the Seller and the obligations of Seller set forth herein will apply to Lifecrowd. For more information, please visit www.lifecrowd.com.

We may partner with corporate entities, residential buildings or other groups (“Partners”) to make certain Activities available to Buyers associated with such Partner. You hereby acknowledge and agree – whether you are a Buyer or a Seller of any such Activities – that, unless we are acting as a Seller, neither we nor our Partners provide nor purchase such Activities nor are we responsible for the provision or non-provision of any such Activities. All purchases of Activities are directly between Buyers and Sellers.

You further acknowledge and agree as follows:

I AM AWARE THAT WHILE PREPARING FOR, TRAVELING TO OR FROM, PARTICIPATING IN, OR PARTICIPATING IN ANY ACTIVITY AFTER, AN ACTIVITY, I COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR COULD INFLICT SERIOUS INJURY TO ANOTHER PERSON.

Release and Waiver of Liability for Activities

As consideration for being permitted to use the Service and purchase or sell Activities, you, whether a Buyer or a Seller, on behalf of yourself, your assignees, heirs, distributees, guardians, next of kin, spouse, executors, administrators and representatives, hereby:

  1. Forever and irrevocably waive, discharge, release and hold harmless Lifecrowd, its Partners and Affiliates and each of their directors, officers, employees, volunteers, agents, contractors, affiliates and representatives (collectively, the "Released Parties") from any and all actions, claims, demands and damages, of any kind whatsoever, that you, and/or your assignees, heirs, distributees, guardians, next of kin, spouse, executors, administrators and representatives now have, or may have in the future, for injury including, without limitation, death, property damage or loss of any kind, related to (i) your participation in the Activities (unless Lifecrowd is the Seller of the Activity, in which case Lifecrowd’s sole responsibility will be that of a Seller), (ii) negligence or other acts, whether directly connected to the Activities or not, and however caused, whether by me or by another, (iii) any release, and (iv) the condition of the premises where any of the Activities occur, whether or not you are then participating in the Activity.
  2. Expressly agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any claims, losses, costs or expenses of any kind, including attorneys' fees, which the Released Parties may incur as a result of any lawsuit, claim or demand made by you and/or your legal representatives against the Released Parties related to any of the Activities.
  3. Covenant not to sue and agree to never initiate, or be a party to any lawsuit, claim, demand, prosecution or action of law or equity for any damages, relief, or compensation, which you may have by reason of injury, death, damage, or loss of any kind whatsoever relating to the negligence on the part of any or all of the Released Parties arising out of your participation in any of the Activities.

In giving the releases hereunder, which include claims which may be unknown to you at present, you hereby acknowledge that you have read and understand Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California which reads as follows:

"A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."

You hereby expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under this section and any law or legal principle of similar effect in any jurisdiction with respect to claims released hereby. You further understand and acknowledge the significance and consequence of such specific waiver of section 1542 of the California Civil Code. You hereby acknowledge that this release and waiver of liability (this "Release") is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by law, and as a complete and continuous release and waiver of liability for any and all participation in the Activities from the date of execution of this Release to the end of the world. This Release shall be effective and fully binding upon your heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators, assigns and estate in the event of your death or incapacity. If a court of competent jurisdiction should decide that any part of this Release is illegal or unenforceable, or void as a matter of public policy or otherwise, such a determination shall not affect the validity, or enforceability of the remaining provisions.

Indemnification

You acknowledge and agree that Lifecrowd is not providing, participating in or in any way involved in the Activities and shall have no liability whatsoever relating to the Activities (unless Lifecrowd is the Seller of the Activity, in which case Lifecrowd’s sole responsibility will be that of a Seller). Upon a request by Us, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Us and our Partners and affiliates harmless from all liabilities, claims, and expenses, including attorneys' fees, that arise from the Activities (unless Lifecrowd is the Seller of the Activity, in which case Lifecrowd’s sole responsibility will be that of a Seller) or your use or misuse of this site. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate with Us in asserting any available defenses.

Arbitration

Any claim or dispute (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with these Terms of Service where the total amount of the award sought is less than Five Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $5,000.00) may be resolved in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. Such arbitration shall be initiated through an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section and under the rules of such ADR Provider, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with these Terms of Service. The party demanding arbitration will propose an ADR Provider and the other party shall not unreasonably withhold consent to use such ADR Provider. The ADR Provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: (1) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (2) all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English; (3) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and (4) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lifecrowd may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property rights in any court of competent jurisdiction. Please note that the laws of the jurisdiction where you are located may be different from California law, including the laws governing what can legally be sold, bought, exported, offered or imported. You shall always comply with all the international and domestic laws, ordinances, regulations and statutes that re applicable to your use of Lifecrowd.com and the Service.

Any other Dispute (including whether the claims asserted are arbitrable) shall be referred to and finally determined by arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) and shall be administered by the Los Angeles office of JAMS (the “Administrator”). To the extent there is any conflict between the provisions set forth in this section and any procedural or other rules issued by the Administrator, this section will control. The location of the arbitration will be Los Angeles, California. The Dispute(s) shall be submitted to a single arbitrator (“Arbitrator”) chosen by the parties or selected by the parties from a list of potential arbitrators provided by the Administrator. The Administrator shall provide such list to the parties 10 days after request by either party. Should the parties be unable to agree on a choice of arbitrator within 10 days after receipt of the list from the Administrator, then the Administrator will select the Arbitrator. The arbitral proceedings, and all pleadings and written evidence will be in the English language. Any written evidence originally in a language other than English will be submitted in English translation accompanied by the original or true copy thereof. The English language version will control. Each party shall bear its own attorney’s fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the Administrator and the Arbitrator; provided, however, the Arbitrator shall be authorized to determine whether a party is the prevailing party, and if so, to award to that prevailing party reimbursement for its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges, travel expenses, etc.), and/or the fees and costs of the Administrator and the Arbitrator. The Arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The Arbitrator will not have authority to award damages in excess of the amount, or other than the types, allowed by these Terms of Service. Judgment on the award of the Arbitrators may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. The Arbitrator also shall be authorized to grant any temporary, preliminary or permanent equitable remedy or relief it deems just and equitable and within the scope of these Terms of Service, including, without limitation, an injunction or order for specific performance. The arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the parties without appeal or review except as permitted by California law or United States Federal law.

By using Lifecrowd.com or the Service in any manner, you agree to the above arbitration provision. In doing so, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend any claims between you and Lifecrowd (except for matters that may be taken to small-claims court). YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER CLASS PROCEEDING. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR, NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. You are entitled to a fair hearing before the Arbitrator. The arbitrator can grant any relief that a court can, but you should note that arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings. Decisions by the Arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.

Miscellaneous

The communications between you and Lifecrowd use electronic means, whether you visit Lifecrowd.com or send Lifecrowd e-mails, or whether Lifecrowd posts notices on Lifecrowd.com or communicates with you via e-mail. For contractual purposes, you (1) consent to receive communications from Lifecrowd in an electronic form; and (2) agree that all Terms of Service and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Lifecrowd provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were to be in writing.

Whether you are a Buyer or Seller, you and Lifecrowd are independent contractors, and no agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by these Terms of Service. Lifecrowd shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.

This Terms of Service and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that require the application of the law of a different state. You hereby expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts in California for any lawsuit filed against you by Lifecrowd arising from or related to these Terms of Service. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms of Service.

Where Lifecrowd requires that you provide an e-mail address, you are responsible for providing Lifecrowd with your most current e-mail address.
