After such period, we will automatically renew your subscription for a new term as described at the time you accepted the offer, charged to the payment mechanism you authorized at the time of your offer acceptance (which may be a credit or debit card, or third party payment device such as Paypal) until you tell us to stop. If your credit card expires or your payment method is otherwise invalid, your subscription or product will not automatically be terminated. You will remain responsible for all charges. For annual renewal periods: each year we will send you a reminder notice with the rate for the next term and instructions on how to cancel which you may do at any time by contacting customer service or logging into your account. If you cancel annual digital subscription mid-term, there will be no refund; however, you will maintain access through your current subscription period. If you cancel annual print subscriptions mid-term, you will receive a refund on all undelivered issues.

We will notify you in advance if the regular rate of a product changes from what was stated at the time of your order. You will have the opportunity to accept the new price or cancel your subscription or purchase from that point forward. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your subscription or product for any reason, with or without notice and without further obligation.

    For all subscriptions, if we are not able to charge your authorized payment mechanism for your renewal, we may attempt to charge you again before the end of your current billing term, update your account information using information obtained from third parties, such as your credit card company, or if such efforts are not successful, we may bill you directly using your contact and account information.

Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games or other electronic content.

If you experience any of the foregoing symptoms, or if you or your family has a history of seizures or epilepsy, you should immediately stop using the Web Site and consult a doctor.

  21. Applicable Laws.

    We control and operate the Web Site from our offices in the United States of America. We do not represent that materials on the Web Site are appropriate or available for use in other locations.

  23. Changes to Terms of Use.

    We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove any portion of the Terms and Conditions, in whole or in part, at any time.

  24. Dispute Resolution: Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes, Waiver of Class Arbitration.

    Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes: Except as noted below, any and all disputes, controversies, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action between you and us (including, but not limited to, disputes related in any way to the interpretation and scope of this Section 24, these Terms and Conditions generally, our Privacy Policy, and your use of the Web Site and Web Site Services) shall be settled exclusively through binding and confidential arbitration (“Arbitration”). THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, PROCEDURES FOR ARBITRATION ARE SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN LITIGATION RULES IN COURT, AND REVIEW BY A COURT IS LIMITED.

    AAA Rules and Procedures. Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) before one commercial arbitrator. The conduct of the Arbitration shall be subject to AAA’s then-current rules and procedures for commercial arbitration and, if the arbitrator deems it appropriate, the then-current supplementary rules and procedures for consumer-related disputes (collectively, “Arbitration Rules and Procedures”). YOU SPECIFICALLY AGREE THAT YOU ARE BOUND TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES IN ARBITRATION, AND YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT. Payment of Arbitration costs will be governed by the AAA’s fee schedule, unless you are able to show that your portion will be prohibitive as compared to litigation costs, in which case we will pay as much of your Arbitration costs as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to litigation costs. We also reserve the right, in our sole and exclusive discretion, to assume responsibility for all Arbitration costs imposed by the AAA. Each party agrees to pay its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a governing statutory provision or remedy under the governing law that requires the prevailing party to be paid attorneys’ fees and expenses.

    Information on AAA , its Rules and Procedures, and how to start arbitration can be found at http://www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879.

    Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the dispute arises from a violation of your or our intellectual property rights in any manner, both parties agree that the non-infringing party may seek injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in a state or federal court consistent with the Governing Law and Jurisdiction subsections below, and both parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Additionally, you or we may take the dispute to small claims court if the dispute qualifies for small claims court.

    Waiver of Class Arbitration: To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, all disputes shall be resolved by binding confidential arbitration on an individual basis. You expressly agree that no other disputes shall be consolidated or joined with your dispute, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. You further acknowledge and agree that any arbitrator assigned to a dispute shall not, and lacks the authority to, conduct class arbitration or award class-wide relief and that such arbitrator shall only hear your individual dispute. You acknowledge that you are voluntarily and knowingly waiving any right to participate as a representative of any class of claimants pertaining to any dispute subject to Arbitration, such that you shall not be entitled to arbitrate any dispute as a representative plaintiff or claimant, class representative, class member, or private attorney general.

    Governing Law: These Terms and Conditions and all disputes between the parties shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within New York between New York residents, without regard to any conflict-of-law provisions which result in the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. Further, in any Arbitration, both parties agree the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized under New York law.

    Enforcement of Arbitration Award: The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

    Severability: If any portion of this Dispute Resolution section (with the exception of the Waiver of Class Arbitration subsection) is deemed invalid or unenforceable by any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, the invalid or unenforceable portion shall be severed and removed from these Terms and Conditions, and the remaining portions (including the Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes subsection) shall remain binding on you and us. If any arbitrator deems the Waiver of Class Arbitration subsection to be invalid or unenforceable, then the entire Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes subsection shall be null and void. Under such circumstances, you expressly acknowledge and agree that the Governing Law and Jurisdiction subsections apply to any disputes between you and us, and both parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

    Jurisdiction: If, in any dispute, this Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes subsection is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, notwithstanding the Severability subsection above, or null and void by any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, or if the dispute seeks injunctive remedies arising from a violation of your or our intellectual property rights, the dispute shall be resolved by a state or federal court located in New York County, New York, USA. The parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such New York state or federal courts for the purposes of litigating any such dispute. This subsection does not apply disputes made in small claims court.
