You should not rely on any communication or information received from those sources as legal advice. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT PARROT IS NOT ENTERING INTO AN ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU BY YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICES. This Section 4 does not affect any express, written, and executed employment or independent contractor agreement between Parrot and you, should any exist.

5. Fees and Payment

5.1. Fees; Term; Automatic Renewal. By engaging Parrot to provide Services or Software, Customer agrees to pay Parrot’s rates and costs. A listing of Parrot’s Costs and Fees for Services or Software shall be provided to Customers incurring costs for the provision of Parrot’s Services or Software. Customers shall not provide the list of Costs and Fees outside of the Customer's organization without Parrot’s explicit permission or as otherwise required by law.

Certain Parrot Services and Software will be provided pursuant to an Order Form. You agree to pay all fees specified in any Order Form(s). Except as otherwise specified in these Terms of Service or an Order Form, (i) fees are based on Services purchased in an Order Form, regardless of usage; (ii) fees are non-refundable; (iii) payment obligations are non-cancelable; and (iv) quantities purchased cannot be decreased during the term specified in the Order Form.  Unless otherwise stated in an Order Form, the term for any Services identified in an Order Form shall be one year from the effective date specified in the Order Form (the “Term”). The Term shall automatically renew for additional one-year periods unless either you or we give the other party written notice at least 60 days before the end of the Term of an intent to not renew.

5.2. Shortfall Fee. In the event that you purchase Services from Parrot pursuant to a Volume Commitment specified in any Order Form, and you fail to satisfy the Volume Commitment in the Term specified in the Order Form, Parrot reserves the right to charge you a Shortfall Fee. The Shortfall Fee shall be calculated as follows: Volume Commitment less Actual Volume utilized = x; x times Shortfall Rate in Order Form = Shortfall Fee.

5.3. Payment. Payment to Parrot for any Services shall be made by valid and updated credit card information. By providing credit card information to Parrot, you authorize Parrot to charge the credit card for any Services listed in the Order Form and any renewal Terms as set forth in Section 5.1, above. If the Order Form specifies that payment will be made by any method other than a credit card, Parrot will invoice you in advance and in accordance with the Order Form. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, invoiced fees are due net 30 days from the invoice date. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Parrot and notifying Parrot of any changes to such information. You are responsible for all taxes of any kind imposed by any federal, state or local government on any fees payable to Parrot for the Services. Except for a timely dispute of a Parrot invoice to you (as set forth in Section 5.5, below), all late payments shall bear interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permitted by law, calculated daily and compounded monthly.

You agree to provide payment to Parrot in accordance with these Terms of Service and any applicable Order Form(s). You further agree that payment will not be provided except as expressly set forth in these Terms of Service and any applicable Order Form(s), including but not limited to payment directly to Parrot personnel facilitating, hosting, or attending any Services that Parrot provides to you.

5.4. Suspension of Services. If any fees owed by you are 30 days or more overdue, Parrot may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend Services and withhold any deliverables until the fees are paid in full.

5.5. Disputed Invoices. All invoices are final after 20 days unless you notify us in writing of any dispute. Parrot will not exercise its right to charge interest if you timely notify us of a dispute in accordance with this Section and cooperate in good faith with us to diligently resolve the dispute.

5.6. Scheduling, duration, coverage, and extreme overages. Parrot will do everything operationally and economically reasonable to ensure that all events can be serviced. In order to ensure Parrot can provide services for a proceeding, customer must schedule all events at least 24 hours in advance. Parrot cannot guarantee coverage for an event scheduled without such notice. Customer must select an estimated duration for an event. Parrot reserves the right to charge customer agreed upon rates for Services for time a reporter was reserved for should an event end early. Out of respect and concern for the schedule of parrot customers and reporters, events that go significantly longer than scheduled can affect other customers and cause conflicts and monetary loss for reporters who have been reserved for a particular block of time. An “extreme overage,” is defined as 30 minutes more than the time scheduled by customer for the block of events in a single day parrot personnel was reserved for. When Parrot can provide continued service for a block of events where there has been an extreme overage, Parrot cannot guarantee continued service and may ask Customer to reconvene at mutually acceptable time. Should Parrot personnel be able to continue to service the day’s events in an extreme overage, Parrot has the discretion to charge a rate no more than $1/ minute more than the standard rate once the totality of events scheduled for that day and personnel exceeds 30 minutes over the duration selected by the customer.

5.7. Late Cancellation and Rescheduling Fees. For any provision of Services or Software with a scheduled start date and time, Parrot reserves the right to charge a cancellation fee as described in Parrot’s Costs/Rates sheet.

5.8. Location of Personnel. Parrot may utilize Personnel located outside of the United States to support provision of certain Services and Customer support tasks. Such Personnel have been properly background checked and the duly certified 3rd party entities who evaluated Parrot’s security compliance and certifications approved the security measures Parrot utilizes to protect all client data both internally and externally.

13. Legal Disputes and Arbitration Agreement

Please Read This Following Clause Carefully – It May Significantly Affect Your Legal Rights, Including Your Right to File a Lawsuit in Court

13.1. Initial Dispute Resolution. We are available by email at support@parrot.us to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of the Services. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. Each of you and we agree to use best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

13.2. Agreement to Binding Arbitration. If we do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to the terms of this agreement, then either party may initiate binding arbitration.  All claims arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service (including their formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Services and the Site shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures or Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (as appropriate) or, if you are an employee of Parrot, the JAMS Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. Each party will have the right to use legal counsel in connection with arbitration at its own expense. The parties shall select a single neutral arbitrator in accordance with the applicable JAMS Rules and Procedures. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Service, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Service is void or voidable.  You or we may elect to appear at the arbitration by phone or, if you and we both agree, to conduct it online, in lieu of appearing live. 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 in writing and provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions, shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The interpretation and enforcement of these Terms of Service shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act. The JAMS rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at https://www.jaTerms of Servicedr.com/adr-rules-procedures. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

The Following Paragraph Applies to Disputes with Individual Consumers Only (Not Disputes Involving Parrot and a Company, Legal or Corporate Entity, or Sole Proprietorship):

If you initiate arbitration, to the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds Two Hundred and Fifty U.S. Dollars ($250.00), we will pay the additional cost.  If we are required to pay the additional cost of the filing fees, you should submit a request for payment of fees to JAMS along with your form for initiating the arbitration, and we will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to JAMS.  We will also be responsible for paying all other arbitration costs arising in connection with the arbitration, other than costs incurred by you for legal counsel, travel and other out-of-pocket costs and expenses not constituting fees or amounts payable to JAMS.  You will not be required to pay fees and costs incurred by us if you do not prevail in arbitration. We will also pay JAMS to reimburse you for any portion of the $250 filing fee that is more than what you would otherwise have to pay to file suit in a court of law.

13.3. Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver. You and we each further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in our respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and you and we each expressly waive our respective 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 this paragraph 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 agreement shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

13.4. Location. If you are arbitrating a dispute with Parrot as an individual consumer (and not as or on behalf of a company, legal or corporate entity, or sole proprietorship), the arbitration will take place at any reasonable location within the United States convenient for you. For all other disputes, including as or on behalf of a company, legal or corporate entity, or sole proprietorship, the arbitration shall be initiated in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and you and Parrot agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court in Miami-Dade County, Florida, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

13.5. Exception – Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

13.6. Exception – California Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) Action. Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief in a court of law for a claim arising under California’s Private Attorneys General Act.
