For Provider Members, we offer various hosted products to support instruction including marketing, scheduling, billing and communication tools. Provider Members can also apply to use our Services where prospective Students can review their profile, communicate with Provider Members and book and pay for lessons and other services ancillary thereto (called a "Listing").

For Student Members, we provide a marketplace to find a network of independent contractor Provider Members and may schedule lessons and other services ancillary thereto. We may also provide a platform for online group lessons or clinics for certain subjects. Users may be able to review Listings as an unregistered user of our Services; however, if you wish to book a lesson as a Student, to create a Listing as a Provider, to use hosted tools or use certain Services, you must first become a registered Member. See the applicable section of the Website for more information.

From time to time, we may provide new or temporary Services, such as on demand tutoring, group lessons or classes or clinics and other products, materials and services that may or may not be limited to Members. We reserve the right to restrict any Services only to Members and discontinue any product or Services at will.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW CLAIMS YOU AND PLAYPICKLEBALL.COM HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED.

You and PlayPickleball.com agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise between us relating in any way to or arising out of this or previous versions of the Terms of Use, your use of or access to our Services, or any products or services sold or purchased through our Services, will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section ("Agreement to Arbitrate").

a. Applicable Law ‍You agree that, except to the extent inconsistent with or preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Idaho, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern this Agreement and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and PlayPickleball.com, except as otherwise stated in this Agreement.

‍‍b. Agreement to Arbitrate ‍You and PlayPickleball.com each agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and PlayPickleball.com relating in any way to or arising out of this or previous versions of the Terms of Use, your use of or access to PlayPickleball.com Services, or any products or services sold, offered, or purchased through PlayPickleball.com shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court. Alternatively, you may assert your claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate.

1. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND PLAYPICKLEBALL.COM AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND PLAYPICKLEBALL.COM AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS.‍

2. Arbitration Procedures. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. An arbitrator should apply the terms of this Agreement as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except as prohibited by law.

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its rules and procedures, including the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The use of the word "arbitrator" in this provision shall not be construed to prohibit more than one arbitrator from presiding over an arbitration: rather, the AAA's rules will govern the number of arbitrators that may preside over an arbitration conducted under this Agreement to Arbitrate.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, written Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice must include a description of the nature and basis of the claims the party is asserting and the relief sought. The Notice to PlayPickleball.com should be sent to PlayPickleball.com, Attn: Litigation Department, Re: Notice of Dispute, 181 W Aqua Ave, Coeur D'alene, ID 83815. PlayPickleball.com will send any Notice to you to the physical address we have on file associated with your PlayPickleball.com account; it is your responsibility to keep your physical address up to date.

If you and PlayPickleball.com are unable to resolve the claims described in the Notice within 30 days after the Notice is sent, you or PlayPickleball.com may initiate arbitration proceedings. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA's site at www.adr.org. In addition to filing this form with the AAA in accordance with its rules and procedures, the party initiating the arbitration must mail a copy of the completed form to the opposing party. You may send a copy to PlayPickleball.com at the following address: PlayPickleball.com 181 W Aqua Ave, Coeur D'alene, ID 83815 . In the event PlayPickleball.com initiates an arbitration against you, it will send a copy of the completed form to the physical address we have on file associated with your PlayPickleball.com account. Any settlement offer made by you or PlayPickleball.com shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.

The arbitration hearing shall be held in Kootenai County, Idaho, or at another mutually agreed location. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or PlayPickleball.com may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and PlayPickleball.com subject to the arbitrator's discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. In cases where an in-person hearing is held, you and/or PlayPickleball.com may attend by telephone, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same PlayPickleball.com user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

3. Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, at your request, PlayPickleball.com will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. Any request for payment of fees byPlayPickleball.com should be submitted by mail to the AAA along with your Demand for Arbitration and PlayPickleball.com will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to the AAA. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you agree to reimburse PlayPickleball.com for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by PlayPickleball.com on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA's rules.

4. Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 1 of this Agreement to Arbitrate ("Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief"), if an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply. If an arbitrator or court decides that any of the provisions in Section 1 of this Agreement to Arbitrate ("Prohibition of Class and RepresentativeActions and Non-Individualized Relief") is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall be null and void. The remainder of the Agreement will continue to apply.

5. Opt-Out Procedure. IF YOU ARE A NEW PLAYPICKLEBALL.COM USER, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO REJECT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ("OPT-OUT") BY MAILING US A WRITTEN OPT-OUT NOTICE ("OPT-OUT NOTICE"). THE OPT-OUT NOTICE MUST BE POSTMARKED NO LATER THAN 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE YOU ACCEPT THE USER AGREEMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME. YOU MUST MAIL THE OPT-OUT NOTICE TO PLAYPICKLEBALL.COM, ATTN: LITIGATION DEPARTMENT, RE: OPT-OUT NOTICE, 181 W Aqua Ave, Coeur D'alene, ID 83815 .

You must sign the Opt-Out Notice for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate. If you opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, all other parts of the Agreement and this Section will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Agreement to Arbitrate has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with us.

6. Future Amendments to the Agreement to Arbitrate. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make any amendment to this Agreement to Arbitrate (other than an amendment to any notice address or site link provided herein) in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against PlayPickleball.com prior to the effective date of the amendment. The amendment shall apply to all other disputes or claims governed by the Agreement to Arbitrate that have arisen or may arise between you and PlayPickleball.com. We will notify you of amendments to this Agreement to Arbitrate by posting the amended terms on the Website or within our Services at least 30 days before the effective date of the amendments.

‍c. Judicial Forum for Legal Disputes ‍Unless you and we agree otherwise, in the event that the Agreement to Arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, either as a result of your decision to opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate or as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, you agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and PlayPickleball.com must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Kootenai County, Idaho. You and PlayPickleball.com agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Kootenai County, Idaho for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
