VIDMOB PLATFORM TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Last updated: October 8, 2024
Your use of the software platform, mobile apps, and any related content, software, products or services (collectively, the “Platform”) offered by VidMob, Inc. (“VidMob,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is governed by these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”).
These Terms include and incorporate the VidMob Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”), found at https://www.vidmob.com/privacy-policy/, and any other terms relating to the Platform to which you and VidMob have separately agreed in writing (“Additional Agreements”).
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
THESE TERMS CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER COVERING DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND VIDMOB (SEE SECTION 17). BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND VIDMOB ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under these Terms (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court or as otherwise set forth in Section 17). A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR will determine your rights – NOT a judge or jury (as set forth in Section 17). ADDITIONALLY, THE PROJECT AGREEMENT (DEFINED BELOW) CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION COVERING DISPUTES BETWEEN CUSTOMERS AND CREATORS (SEE PROJECT AGREEMENT, SECTION 10).
- Acceptance
By clicking the “I accept” button or by otherwise using the Platform, you indicate that you accept these Terms. If you do not accept these Terms, you cannot use the Platform.
VidMob reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. VidMob will post any changes to these Terms on this page and will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms. Changes to these Terms will be effective for existing users five (5) days after notice of such changes is posted on the Platform. If you do not agree to any change(s) after receiving notice of such change(s), you must stop using the Platform immediately.
- The VidMob Platform
The Platform provides a variety of digital marketing tools to subscribers and other paid users (“Customers”), including data-driven analytics for creative content (“Creative Analytics”), scalable content scoring features (“Creative Scoring”), and creative workflow tools (“Creative Studio”) enabling Customers to find and collaborate with freelance creative professionals (“Creators”) on content creation projects (“Projects”). VidMob may also provide you with certain related support, analytics, or other services (the “Services”) in connection with your use of the Platform.
Customers and Creators contract directly for Projects using the Platform and may use for such purpose the form of agreement found at https://www.vidmob.com/project-agreement/ (the “Project Agreement”).
VidMob does not employ Creators or act as agent for Customers. VidMob is not a party to the Project Agreement, and each party to a Project Agreement is solely responsible for the performance of its own obligations thereunder.
- Your Account
a. General.
Each individual user is required to set up an account in order to use the Platform (an “Account”). By creating an Account, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to enter into these Terms personally or on behalf of the entity identified in the registration process. If you are using the Platform on behalf of a Customer, your Account will be associated with the relevant Customer organization account (each, an “Organization”). If at any time you believe your Account has been associated with the incorrect Organization, you must contact VidMob at support@vidmob.com immediately.
Each Organization will have at least one dashboard through which the products, features, and services are made available (a “Workspace”), and each Organization and Workspace will be managed by one or more administrators (“Admins”). Admins may be designated by the Customer using the Platform’s access control features or in writing to VidMob via email, Additional Agreement, or the Platform’s messaging features.
You are responsible for anything that happens through your Account, including any intentional or unintentional access granted to anyone through your Account (e.g., inadvertently granting access to a Workspace or Content to unauthorized individuals). You covenant that all information you provide during Account setup is complete and accurate. You agree to maintain and promptly update any data associated with your Account such that it remains true, accurate, current, and complete. Do not share your Account login and password. If you have questions about your Account, or if you suspect any unauthorized use of your password or any other breach of security of your Account, please contact support@vidmob.com.
b. Content.
As between you and VidMob, you retain ownership of the images, audio, video, text, data, information, or other materials you upload or otherwise transmit to the Platform (“Content”). Regardless of anything to the contrary herein, you acknowledge and agree that VidMob may share your Content with VidMob’s third-party service providers (collectively, “Third-Party Providers”) as necessary to provide the Platform and exercise its rights and obligations under these Terms.
c. Access.
You are the only one with authority to access your Account. The Admins of each Organization have authority to manage the Organization, including access to all Workspaces and Content within the Organization. Admins of a given Workspace have authority to manage access to the Workspace and Content displayed within it.
When you upload Content to the Platform, including without limitation Connected Content as described below, Admins within your Organization will have authority to share and display such Content across the Workspaces within your Organization. By uploading Content to the Platform or otherwise providing it to VidMob, you grant VidMob the non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide, fully-paid, royalty-free right and license to use, reproduce, share, distribute, and manage such Content as described in these Terms.
- Creative Analytics & Creative Scoring
To access Creative Analytics or Creative Scoring, you must connect at least one ad manager account provided by a supported third-party social media platform (an “Ad Account”). You retain ownership of the Ad Accounts you connect to the Platform and all Content contained therein (the “Connected Content”). You may be permitted to manually upload Content in order to access Creative Scoring without connecting Ad Accounts, and all such Content will be deemed Connected Content for purposes of these Terms.
VidMob will not be obligated to provide Creative Scoring or Creative Analytics with respect to any Ad Accounts that are not connected to the Platform, and no failure to connect Ad Accounts nor any disconnections will delay or extend the relevant Subscription Term or affect Customer’s payment obligations.
- Creative Studio
a. Creators Are Not Obligated to Accept Projects.
Creators have the ability to accept, reject, or ignore any Project requests made through Creative Studio. VidMob does not guarantee that Projects will ultimately be accepted by Creators.
b. Pricing.
The price to be paid by the Customer for a given Project (the “Project Price”) will be indicated in the Platform or in an Additional Agreement, if applicable, and the fee to be paid to the Creator for such Project (the “Creator Fee”) will be indicated to the Creator via the Platform. VidMob receives a fee on all Projects.
c. Project Posting and Acceptance.
Each Project description uploaded or otherwise entered into the Platform by or on behalf of a Customer (a “Brief”) constitutes an offer by Customer to engage a Creator to work on the Project. Customer will use the Platform’s briefing functionality to submit Briefs. If a Creator accepts, the Customer and the Creator will be deemed to have entered into a binding agreement on the terms set out in the Project Agreement or such other terms as Creator and Customer may separately agree in writing, provided such other terms are not inconsistent with these Terms, do not affect any right or obligation of VidMob, and VidMob is notified within three days of execution.
d. Execution of Projects.
Customer will provide and clearly organize all required source assets and information for the Project using the Platform’s asset management functionality. Failure to do so may delay commencement of the Project and/or result in additional fees. During the course of the Project, Customer and Creator will use the Platform’s communications functionality to collaborate. VidMob is not responsible for collecting or delivering Project communications provided off-Platform.
e. Turnaround Times.
The Brief may specify the required turnaround times for the Project. If no turnaround times are provided in the Brief the following standard times will apply: 7 business days after Project commencement for the first draft and 3 business days for each subsequent revision cycle. If a Brief specifies a faster turnaround time than the standard times, an additional fee equal to 50% of the Project Price will apply unless otherwise provided in the Order Form.
f. Payment Timing & Completion.
The Customer will be charged the Project Price at the commencement of each Project and Creator will receive the Creator Fee within 60 days after completion of the Project and delivery of invoice. Changes to a Brief after acceptance by Creator may result in additional fees. If a Project has been delivered by Creator but not accepted by the Customer and no dispute has been submitted within 30 days after the Creator delivers the work, VidMob may deem the Project complete.
g. Third-Party Content.
Creators may use images, video, sounds, fonts, graphics or other content owned by third parties (“Third-Party Content”) in certain Projects. If Third-Party Content is used in a Project, Creator must notify Customer and provide a copy of the applicable license terms. By accepting a delivered Project, Customer accepts any Third-Party Content incorporated therein and agrees to comply with the applicable license terms. Customer will be responsible for all costs related to Third-Party Content.
h. The Creative Process.
Projects involve the creative process and the results are inherently subjective. You understand that there is no guarantee that you will be happy with the results of any given Project.
VidMob makes no warranties about the work product provided by Creators and is not responsible for their actions. VidMob will have the right to remove Creators from Projects if VidMob learns of inappropriate behavior, failures of performance, or violations of the Terms.
- Subscriptions
a. Order Forms.
You may purchase a subscription to the Platform (a “Subscription”) and/or credits applicable towards Services provided by VidMob or creative production Projects via Creative Studio (“Flex Credits”), either via click-through using the Platform’s self-serve features (where available) or by entering into a written order form with VidMob (an “Order Form”). Specific details of a given Subscription will be set forth in the relevant Order Form. Order Forms are Additional Agreements and will take precedence over these Terms only to the extent of any direct conflict.
b. Subscription Packages.
Subscriptions provide Customers with access to packages of products, features, and/or services available via the Platform. Specific details of a given Subscription will be set forth on the “Subscription Packages” page within the Platform or in the relevant Order Form.
c. Subscription Term.
The term of each Subscription will be 12 months (the “Subscription Term”) unless otherwise agreed in the Order Form. All 12-month Subscription Terms will automatically renew for successive 12-month periods on the same terms unless either party provides at least 30 days written notice of nonrenewal (email acceptable) before the end of the then-current Subscription Term. Subscription Terms other than 12 months will not auto-renew unless provided in the Order Form.
Subscriptions may not be terminated early by the Customer except that, if the Order Form provides for a right to opt out within a certain time (an “Opt-Out Period”), Customer may terminate the Subscription upon written notice to VidMob at any point between the start of the Subscription Term and the end of the Opt-Out Period.
Customer will remain obligated to pay a prorated portion of the Fee for such Subscription based on the full length of the Opt-Out Period, regardless of when during the Opt-Out Period the Customer provides notice of termination.
d. Processing Limits for Creative Analytics and Creative Scoring.
Only paid media under two minutes (2:00) in duration will be processed for analysis via Creative Analytics and Creative Scoring unless Customer and VidMob agree otherwise in writing.
e. Usage-Based Pricing.
To the extent set forth in an applicable Order Form, Subscriptions may incorporate usage-based pricing and fee structures (e.g., progressive fee tiers based on a maximum number of asset scores produced or impressions analyzed). An Order Form may further specify usage limits (“Usage Limits”) and Fees corresponding to overages exceeding same. No refunds will be due where actual usage is less than the applicable Usage Limit.
All assets run and/or impressions occurring within connected Ad Accounts during the Subscription Term will be analyzed and counted toward the applicable Usage Limits.
Historical assets run and impressions occurring within connected Ad Accounts before a Customer’s initial Subscription Term may be analyzed but will not count toward applicable Usage Limits except to the extent they exceed the Usage Limits for the Subscription Term.
if Customer’s actual usage exceeds the applicable Usage Limits, Customer will pay overage rates equal to $.10 per thousand impressions (“CPM”) and/or $10 per scored asset, as applicable, unless otherwise stated in the Order Form. Overages will be invoiced at VidMob’s discretion as they are incurred, regardless of the billing cycle stated in the Order Form.
f. Onboarding and Implementation.
VidMob may provide onboarding and implementation services (“Onboarding Services”) upon the commencement of a new Subscription in exchange for a Fee set forth in the applicable Order Form. Renewals or extensions of existing Subscriptions will not receive additional Onboarding Services unless mutually agreed.
g. Professional Services.
Professional Services including analysis and enhanced support services (“Professional Services”) may be purchased with a new Subscription or added to an active Subscription. When Customer purchases Professional Services, VidMob will make available the Professional Services set forth in the Order Form during the applicable Subscription Term. Vidmob reserves the right to use its discretion in the performance of the Professional Services and to reject unreasonable or excessive requests.
Subject to VidMob’s rights in the VidMob Property (as defined below), Customer will own any written reports or analyses created by VidMob for Customer as part of the Professional Services and specifically identified in an Order Form (the “Work Product”). All Work Product will be provided in VidMob’s standard form and format unless otherwise specified in the Order Form.
h. Flex Credits.
Flex Credits can only be used with an active Subscription and will be applied against the rates shown on the Rate Cards page within the Platform or as otherwise set forth in the applicable Order Form (the “Rate Cards”). Flex Credits purchased may be used solely during the corresponding Subscription Term, so long as no Fees from Customer are past due.
Flex Credits will expire if unused at the end of the associated Subscription Term. Flex Credits do not roll over into any Subscription extensions or renewals and are not redeemable for cash.
i. Rate Cards.
The cost of products and services available via the Platform will be as set forth on the Rate Cards or as otherwise provided by VidMob in writing. VidMob reserves the right to modify the Rate Cards at any time.
- Invoicing and Payment.
The applicable fees for Subscriptions and/or Flex Credits will be set forth in the applicable Order Form (the “Fees”). Customer will pay all Fees within 30 days after the date of invoice. Amounts paid by Customers are nonrefundable.
Beginning at the start of the Subscription Term, VidMob will invoice the Fees for each Subscription and any initial Flex Credits together in equal installments according to the billing cycle set forth on the Order Form. If no billing cycle is stated, the Fees will be invoiced in full upon execution of the Order Form.
Fees for any Flex Credits added to a Subscription after the start of the Subscription Term will be invoiced in full upon execution of the relevant Order Form. Fees for overages in Subscriptions under usage-based fee structures will be invoiced in full at the time of the overage.
VidMob will have the right to modify Fees for any renewal or extension of a Subscription as of the start date of the renewal term, and the Fees for each renewing 12-month Subscription will include at minimum an increase equal to the maximum published CPI percentage over the preceding Subscription Term. VidMob will notify you in writing (e.g., via email or via notice published via the Platform) at least thirty (30) days in advance of such modified Fees taking effect. In the event you do not agree to pay any such modified Fees, you have the right, as your sole and exclusive remedy therefor, to terminate your Subscription prior to such modification taking effect in accordance with Section 19 of these Terms.
If Customer fails to pay any Fees when due, Customer will pay all costs incurred by Vidmob in connection with collecting such Fees, including without limitation reasonable attorney fees, regardless of whether a claim is ultimately filed.
- Rights
a. VidMob Property.
Regardless of anything to the contrary herein, VidMob owns all rights in the following (the “VidMob Property”): (i) the Platform, including without limitation all related source and object code, creative and usage data, information, graphics, features, algorithms, modifications, updates, and derivative works thereof, (ii) all best practices information, benchmarks, norms, creative tags, general reference data, usage and performance data, and statistical information about your use of the Platform (“Platform Data”), and (iii) all VidMob names, trademarks, logos, service marks, and equivalent identifiers (“Marks”).

b. VidMob Output
The Platform generates certain Customer-specific data, analytics, and other outputs analyzing the Customer Content that is displayed to Customer via use of Creative Analytics and Creative Scoring during the relevant Subscription Term (collectively, the “VidMob Output”).
Subject to VidMob’s rights in the VidMob Property, Customer will own the VidMob Output and VidMob shall have the perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use the VidMob Output for any lawful purpose provided no such use could reasonably be used by a third party to identify Customer.
c. Customer Content.
Customer grants VidMob a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable and sublicensable license, during the Subscription Term, to use, copy, and create derivative works of the Customer Content and use the Customer Marks in connection with operating the Platform and providing Services.
Customer grants VidMob a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable and sublicensable license, during and after the Subscription Term, to retain and use the Customer Content for any lawful purpose, including without limitation: (i) to develop and improve VidMob’s products and services and those of third parties, including without limitation to train, develop, and operate artificial intelligence technologies and models, and (ii) as part of Platform Data; provided in each case that no such use could reasonably enable a third party to identify Customer or the Customer Content.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, VidMob grants you a limited, revocable, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to access and use the Platform solely for purposes of creating and analyzing audiovisual content.

By providing us with payment information for the applicable Payment Method, you agree that we are authorized to charge you for all Fees.

Upon VidMob’s request, you will provide official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes.
For purposes of this section, “Sales Tax” shall mean any sales or use tax and any other tax measured by sales proceeds that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.
c. Withholding and Other Taxes.
You agree to pay all Fees to VidMob free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes. Any such taxes imposed on payments of fees to VidMob will be your sole responsibility, and you will provide official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as we may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid.

THE VIDMOB PARTIES DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES REGARDING THE PLATFORM, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE VIDMOB PARTIES DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT CREATIVE ANALYTICS, CREATIVE SCORING, OR ANY OTHER VIDMOB OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, TRUTHFUL, OR SUITABLE. ALL VIDMOB OUTPUT IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY, AND YOU RELY ON THE VIDMOB OUTPUT AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE VIDMOB PARTIES MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS.

THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS ARE MADE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
b. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT: (i) THE LIABILITY OF THE VIDMOB PARTIES RELATING TO THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($500), AND (ii) THE VIDMOB PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

NONE OF THE VIDMOB PARTIES SHALL BE LIABLE, AND YOU AGREE NOT TO SEEK TO HOLD ANY OF THE VIDMOB PARTIES LIABLE, FOR THE CONDUCT OF THIRD PARTIES.

- Dispute Resolution
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION (“ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”) CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHTS TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO BE PART OF A CLASS ACTION.
a. Resolution.
If a dispute arises between you and VidMob relating to the Platform, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost-effective means of quickly resolving the dispute. Accordingly, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek an informal resolution through our customer support team. The customer support team can be contacted via email at support@vidmob.com or via letter by physical mail at 126 Fifth Ave, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10011.
b. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.
You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Platform, to any products, services or content relating to the Platform, or to any aspect of your relationship with VidMob, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (i) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, and (ii) you or VidMob may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement will apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Arbitration Agreement or any prior version of this Arbitration Agreement.
c. Arbitration Rules and Forum.
The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent, Harvard Business Services, Inc., at 16192 Coastal Highway, Lewes, Delaware 19958. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, will be subject to JAMS’ most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims will be subject to JAMS’ most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’ rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’ filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, VidMob will pay them for you. In addition, VidMob will reimburse all such JAMS’ filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.
You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
d. Authority of Arbitrator.
The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to (i) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (ii) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and VidMob. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and these Terms (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator will 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 has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
e. Waiver of Jury Trial.
YOU AND VIDMOB HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and VidMob are instead electing that all claims and disputes will be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 17.b above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited.
f. Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief.
ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then the claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of New York. All other claims will be arbitrated.
g. 30-Day Right to Opt Out.
You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: arbitrationoptout@vidmob.com within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of the Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
h. Severability.
Except as provided in Section 17.f, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts will be of no force and effect and will be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
i. Survival of Arbitration Agreement.
