USE OF PHANTIX SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY PHANTIX OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES CREATES A WARRANTY.

PHANTIX DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO PHANTIX SERVICES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PHANTIX AND ITS AFFILIATED COMPANIES, LICENSEES, LICENSORS AND CONTRACTORS ("PHANTIX PARTIES") WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS, USE, MISUSE, OR INABILITY TO USE PHANTIX SERVICES, EVEN IF PHANTIX HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN ANY CASE, THE PHANTIX PARTIES' AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO PHANTIX SERVICES IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT (IF ANY) YOU ACTUALLY PAID FOR PHANTIX SERVICES THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF SUCH CLAIM.

You further agree to indemnify the Phantix Parties for any Covered Losses arising out of or related to: (a) any Submissions you provide; (b) your violation of these Terms; and (c) your violation of any rights of another. Some jurisdictions limit consumer indemnities, so some or all of the indemnity provisions above may not apply to you. If you are obligated to indemnify us, we will have the right, in our sole and unfettered discretion, to control any action or proceeding and determine whether we wish to settle it, and if so, on what terms.
11. Dispute Resolution; Binding Individual Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
Asia and the Middle East
(a) If you reside in East or South East Asia, Russia, or the Middle East, the law governing the interpretation and enforceability of this agreement shall be the laws of Singapore, without reference to any of its conflict of law principles to extent that such principles would direct a dispute to another jurisdiction. The courts of Singapore have exclusive jurisdiction.
Europe, Africa, and the United Kingdom
(b) If you reside in Western, Central and Eastern Europe, Africa, or the United Kingdom, the law governing the interpretation and enforceability of this agreement shall be the laws of Germany, without reference to any of its conflict of law principles to extent that such principles would direct a dispute to another jurisdiction. The courts of Cologne have exclusive jurisdiction.
The United States
(c) If you reside in the United States, the following provisions apply. Any matter we are unable to resolve and all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of Phantix Services (each, a "Claim"), with the exception of the matters described in Section 11(e) below, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the supplementary procedures for consumer related disputes of the American Arbitration Association, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all Claims. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they may have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. ANY SUCH ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED BY THE PARTIES IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES ONLY AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND THE PARTIES WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO FILE A CLASS ACTION OR SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in the preceding sentence is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth in this Section 11(c-f) shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate Claims. The governing substantive law shall be the laws of the State of California and applicable federal law.
(d) The rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at +1.800.778.7879. To the extent the initial filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the initial filing fee for a lawsuit, we will pay the difference in fees. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, we will pay all of the actual filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration. The arbitration rules may permit you to recover attorney's fees in certain cases.
(e) Section 11(c) does not apply to any Claim (i) in which a party is attempting to protect its intellectual property rights (such as its patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or moral rights, but not including its privacy or publicity rights), or (ii) that may be brought in small claims court.
(f) You and Phantix agree that the state or federal courts in Los Angeles County, California have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals of an arbitration award and over any suit between the parties not subject to arbitration.
These Terms shall not be governed by the United Nations Conventions of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is hereby expressly excluded from any interpretation of these Terms.
12. Billing, Payment and Phantix Account Balance
ALL CHARGES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES ARE DUE UPON PURCHASE, FINAL, AND ARE NOT REFUNDABLE IN WHOLE OR IN PART, REGARDLESS OF THE PAYMENT METHOD, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS OR AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
When you make a purchase through a third-party linked to Phantix Services (e.g., Google; Paypal) or provide payment to Phantix directly, you represent to Phantix that you are the authorized user of the payment method, and you authorize Phantix to charge your payment method for any fees incurred by you. If your use of funds is subject to any sales or other taxes, then Phantix may also charge you for those taxes. You are responsible for all purchases made by you or anyone else using your Phantix or third-party account.
Phantix reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Phantix account or use of Phantix Services, if after investigation Phantix determines in its sole discretion that you abused the payment system by, among other things, requesting or generating refunds from Phantix or its third party servicers without valid reasons or for an improper purpose.
13. Miscellaneous
If any part of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that part will be severed from these Terms, and the rest of the Terms will remain enforceable. If we do not enforce any provision of these Terms, that will not be considered a waiver of our rights. Any waiver of these Terms must be obtained in a written document signed by an authorized representative of Phantix.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may change these Terms from time to time. If we do, we will provide notice of any changes, such as by posting the most recent version on our Services and updating the "Last Updated" date above. You can view the latest Terms any time by clicking the "Terms of Use" link at the bottom of the applicable webpage. We encourage you to check for updates regularly. Your continued use of Phantix Services following any notice we provide will confirm that you have agreed to the amended Terms. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you must stop using Phantix Services.
