Please read to learn the rules and restrictions that govern your use of our website, products, services and applications (the “Services”), and charges, taxes, and fees we bill you. These Terms include information about using our website or mobile app (“Platform”) and contain information about future changes to these Terms, limitations of liability, a class action waiver, and resolution of disputes by arbitration instead of in court. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding these terms or the Services, please contact us connect@thegatheringspot.club. These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding contract between you and us. You must agree to and accept all of the Terms, or you don’t have the right to use the Services. By using the Service in any way means that you agree to all of these Terms, and these Terms will remain in effect while you use the Services. These Terms include the provisions in this document, as well as those in the Privacy Policy (LINK).
3.2 Membership Information: You will be asked to supply certain information relevant to your Membership including, without limitation, your name, industry, credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card, and your billing address. You represent and warrant that: (i) you have the legal right to use any credit card(s) or other payment method(s) in connection with any Membership; and that (ii) the information you supply to us is true, correct and complete. The Platform may employ the use of third party services for the purpose of facilitating payment and the completion of your Membership. By submitting your information, you grant us the right to provide the information to these third parties subject to our Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to cancel your Membership at any time for reasons including but not limited to: product or service availability, errors in the description or price of the Membership, error in your application or other reasons.
3.3 Payment Method: You will be required to provide a credit card or other payment method accepted by TGSC, as may be updated from time to time (“Payment Method”). You are solely responsible for any and all fees charged to your Payment Method, including any SMS or bank charges. When you provide a Payment Method, a temporary pre-authorization hold is placed to verify that the card is valid and has funds available for your Membership. You may edit your Payment Method information by logging in on the TGSC Site and viewing your account details. We may suspend or cancel your access to the Services if we remain unable to successfully charge a valid Payment Method. We also reserve the right to pursue any amounts you fail to pay in connection with your subscription, including collection costs, bank overdraft fees, collection agency fees.
3.4 Cancellation: You can cancel your subscription by clicking on this LINK. You must cancel your subscription prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on the day before your next recurring billing date in order to avoid being charged. If you cancel your subscription, you will continue to have access to the Service through the end of your current Billing Period. Payments are nonrefundable. If you cancel, modify your subscription, or if your account is otherwise terminated under these Terms, you will not receive a credit, including for partially used periods of Service. There are circumstances where TGSC may provide credits on a case-by-case basis. The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at TGSC’s sole and absolute discretion. Provisions that, by their nature, should survive termination of these Terms shall survive termination. By way of example, all of the following will survive termination: any limitations on our liability, any terms regarding ownership or intellectual property rights, and terms regarding disputes between us, including without limitation the arbitration provision.
3.5 Right to Modify Pricing: TGSC reserves the right to change the terms of your Membership, including price, from time to time, effective as of the beginning of your next Billing Period following the date of the change. We will give you advance notice of these changes, but we will not be able to notify you of changes in any applicable taxes.
3.6 Billing: As used in these Terms, “billing” shall be either a charge or debit, as applicable, against your Payment Method. Your initial Membership is valid for a period of thirty (30) days from the date you begin your Membership, and we shall bill your Payment Method a monthly subscription fee on a recurring basis corresponding to the term of your Membership. We will automatically bill your Payment Method on the later of the day you start your subscription, and on each recurring billing date thereafter. Your “Billing Period” is the interval of time between each recurring billing date and corresponds to the term of your Membership. Where applicable, charges for the Service may be prorated for any partial month of service. You acknowledge that the timing of when you are billed and the amount billed each Billing Period may vary, including if your subscription began on a day not contained in a given month (e.g. if you have a monthly subscription and became a paying subscriber on January 31, your Payment Method would next be billed on February 28).

(a) Arbitration Rules; Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in Fulton County, Georgia. The arbitration will proceed in the English language, in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) Costs of Arbitration. The JAMS rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. The parties shall initially equally split all arbitration fees. The prevailing party will be entitled to receive the costs of the arbitration as well as payment of the other party’s attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration.
(c) Small Claims Court. Furthermore, either you or TGSC may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Fulton County, Georgia.
(d) Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND TGSC WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR JURY. You and TGSC are instead choosing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In any litigation between you and TGSC over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND TGSC WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.
(e) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE MEMBER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER MEMBER OR USER. If however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in (g) below.
(f) Opt-out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Section by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: 384 Northyards Blvd., NW 30313 postmarked within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. You must include (1) your name and residence address; (2) the email address and/or telephone number associated with your account; and (3) a clear statement that you want to opt out of these Terms’ arbitration agreement.
(g) Exclusive Venue. If you send the opt-out notice in (f), and/or in any circumstances where the foregoing arbitration agreement permits either you or TGSC to litigate any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms in court, then the foregoing arbitration agreement will not apply to either party and both you and TGSC agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the state or federal courts located in, respectively, Fulton County, Georgia, or the Northern District of Georgia.
Except as expressly set forth in the section the arbitration agreement, you and TGSC agree there are no third party beneficiaries intended under these Terms.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50″ image_repeat=”no-repeat”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
