A. Customer Representations and Warranties. You represent and warrant that you either own or have permission to use all of the data and other materials or content (including without limitation your personal information and the data and other information available via any Non-Narrator Applications (as defined below) you have integrated with the Services) provided by you to Narrator, processed by you using the Services, or otherwise necessary in order to enable our provision of the Services (collectively, "Customer Data").

A.

By integrating the Services with a Non-Narrator Application, you grant Narrator permission to access the Customer Data accessible via such Non-Narrator Application solely in order to provide the Services to you.

We will not otherwise modify or control your data warehouse or database or the information in it.
B. If you export Customer Data via any Non-Narrator Application (such as Google Sheets, Twilio, or webhooks), you do so at your own risk. Narrator is not responsible for any disclosure, modification, or deletion of Customer Data resulting from access by such Non-Narrator Applications or their providers.
C. Narrator does not warrant or support Non-Narrator Applications or other third party products or services (such as implementation services). You will be solely responsible and liable for any such third party products or services, notwithstanding any interoperation with the Services.
D. We may disable all or any third party account features at any time without notice in our discretion. If your third-party account or associated service becomes unavailable or if our access to such account is terminated by the third party service provider or otherwise, then your access to the Services may be terminated. Narrator cannot guarantee the continued availability of such features, and may cease providing them without entitling you to any refund, credit, or other compensation, if for example and without limitation, the provider of a Non-Narrator Application ceases to make the Non-Narrator Application available for interoperation with the corresponding features on the Services in a manner acceptable to Narrator. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS.

Except to the extent prohibited by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Narrator Parties from and against any claims, demands, actions, suits, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, penalties, fines, and settlements (including reasonable attorneys' and experts' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your violation of the Agreement; (b) your use of, or activities in connection with, the Services; (c) your Customer Data; or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party. You may not settle or otherwise compromise any claim, demand, action, or suit covered by the foregoing indemnification without the Company's prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.
17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
A. All matters relating to the Services or the Agreement, and any dispute or claim between the parties arising out of or related to the Services or the Agreement (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York and applicable federal law, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction). The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to these Terms of Use and is hereby expressly excluded.
B. If your headquarters are located in the European Union or the United Kingdom, this Section 17.B applies to you: You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts in London, England, which have jurisdiction to settle any disputes that may arise out of or relate to the Agreement, including without limitation the validity, effect, interpretation, or performance thereof. Both parties hereby irrevocably consent to the venue and jurisdiction of such courts, and waive all defenses with respect to such courts, for the adjudication of such disputes.
C. If your headquarters are located in the United States or a jurisdiction not listed in Section 17.B, this Section 17.C applies to you:
I. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. YOU AND THE COMPANY ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY, OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.
II. You hereby agree that, except as provided in Section 17.C.VII below, any claim, dispute, or controversy between you and the Company, whether brought by you or by the Company, arising out of or relating in any way to the Agreement or your purchase or use of the Services must be resolved through final, binding, and confidential arbitration located in New York County, New York, USA.
III. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS in accordance with the then-current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for commercial contracts (the "JAMS Rules") The parties will mutually agree on an arbitrator, provided that if the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) days, JAMS will choose the arbitrator. In rendering an award, the arbitrator shall apply the governing law stated in Section 17.A, except that the Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.
IV. Unless you opt-out of arbitration as set forth below, and except with respect to the class arbitration waiver as set forth in Section 17.C.IV below, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, formation, arbitrability, and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any challenge that the arbitration provision or the Agreement is void, voidable, or otherwise invalid. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, the arbitration will be subject to different rules than the rules that would apply in court, and court review of arbitration awards is very limited. However, the arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity (including injunctive and declaratory relief and statutory damages) and must follow the Agreement, as a court would. Any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
V. You agree that an arbitration will be conducted on an individual, and not a class-wide, basis. An arbitrator will have no authority to certify a class or award class-wide relief. The arbitrator is authorized only to award relief on behalf of the individual parties and only to their extent of their individual claims. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED IN WRITING BY YOU AND THE COMPANY, WITH REGARD TO ANY CLAIMS HEREUNDER, YOU WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO SEEK TO, AND AN ARBITRATOR OR COURT MAY NOT, JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE YOUR CLAIMS WITH ANY OTHER SIMILAR CLAIMS OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER, OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.
VI. You can opt out of this arbitration provision within thirty (30) days of the date that you first agreed to these Terms of Use or to any subsequent revisions to this Section 17.C. If you opt out of a subsequent revision, you will remain bound by the prior version of this Section unless you previously opted out of that version. To opt out, you must send your name, address, username, the email address, or phone number associated with your account, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement to legal@narrator.ai. You may opt out of the Agreement in its entirety by not using the Services.
VII. If for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than arbitration under this Section 17.C, the claim shall be resolved exclusively (except as provided in Section 17.C.VII below) in the appropriate state and federal courts located in New York County, New York. Both parties hereby irrevocably consent to the venue and jurisdiction of such courts, and waive all defenses, including without limitation for lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens, with respect to such courts for the adjudication of such claims.
VIII. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 17.C to the contrary, the following claims may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction: claims to the extent alleging efforts to interfere with the Services or engage with the Services in an unauthorized manner. In addition, either you or we have the option to bring claims in court to seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief without seeking damages, in any court of competent jurisdiction.
