PEOPLEHOOD TERMS OF SERVICE

These Terms of Service ("Terms") apply to your access to and use of (i) the website located at www.peoplehood.com (or any successor links) and all associated web pages, websites, and social media pages (the "Website") provided by Peoplehood Inc., Peoplehood I, LLC and their respective affiliates ("Peoplehood," "we," "our," or "us"), (ii) events, programs, activities and related services ((i) and (ii), collectively, our "Services"), and (iii) products that we may offer for purchase ("Products").

We may indicate that different or additional terms, conditions, guidelines, policies, or rules apply in relation to some of our Services or Products ("Supplemental Terms"). Any Supplemental Terms become part of your agreement with us if you use the applicable Services or purchase the applicable Products, and if there is a conflict between these Terms and the Supplemental Terms, the Supplemental Terms will control for that conflict.

We may make changes to these Terms. The "Last Updated" date above indicates when these Terms were last changed. If we make future changes, we may provide you with notice of such changes, such as by sending an email, providing a notice through our Services, or updating the date at the top of these Terms. Unless we say otherwise in our notice, the amended Terms will be effective immediately, and your continued use of our Services or purchase of our Products after we provide such notice will confirm your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you must immediately stop using our Services and may not purchase any of our Products. Any changes to these Terms will not apply to any dispute between you and us arising prior to the date on which we posted the updated Terms incorporating such changes or otherwise notified you of such changes

(a) Services. Our Services are designed to empower users to share experiences with each other, build new skills and habits and create and foster higher-quality connections and communities. As part of our Services, we may conduct "Gathers," or scheduled guided group conversations for which users can sign up individually or as couples. Gathers are led by Peoplehood "guides" ("Guides"). Gathers or other portions of our Services may be provided online via Peoplehood or third-party web platforms (such third-party web platforms, "Third-Party Platforms") or in-person at one or more Peoplehood locations ("In-Person Locations"). In addition to Gathers, we may offer additional or related Services via Peoplehood platforms, Third-Party Platforms or In-Person Locations.

(b) Products. We may offer Products for purchase, including, without limitation, merchandise, food, drinks (which may include alcoholic drinks), or other products via the Website, other Peoplehood platforms, or at In-Person Locations.

(c) In-Person Locations. Access to In-Person Locations is subject to any then-current Peoplehood policies, which may include, without limitation, security reviews of your devices or other materials you bring to In-Person Locations. You may only access the areas of In-Person Locations specifically permitted by Peoplehood and only for the specific purpose authorized by Peoplehood. All other access is prohibited.

(d) Removal. We may, in our sole discretion, temporarily or permanently revoke your access to any In-Person Location and any events held therein, including Gathers, and/or temporarily or permanently revoke your access to any other Peoplehood events, including, without limitation, by removing you from any of the foregoing.

You may provide certain information to Peoplehood in connection with your use of our Services or purchase of our Products, or we may otherwise collect certain information about you when you use our Services or purchase our Products. You agree to receive emails, phone calls, SMS or text messages, and other types of communication from Peoplehood via our Services using the email address or other contact information you provide in connection with use of our Services or purchase of our Products. You represent and warrant that any information that you provide to Peoplehood is accurate.

For information about how we collect, use, share and otherwise process information about you, please see our Privacy Policy https://peoplehood.com/privacy.

(a) Age.

(b) Accounts. You may be required to create an account with Peoplehood in order to use some or all of our Services. You may not share or permit others to use your individual account credentials, unless you register for a "couples" account, in which case you will only share or permit the other individual on your account to use such credentials. You will promptly update any information contained in your account if it changes. You must maintain the security of your account, as applicable, and promptly notify us if you discover or suspect that someone has accessed your account without your permission. We reserve the right to reject, require that you change, or reclaim usernames, including on behalf of businesses or individuals that hold legal claim, including trademark rights, in those usernames.

(c) Additional Limitations. We may impose additional limitations on your ability to use our Services or purchase our Products. For example, we may refuse to serve you beverages containing alcohol if we cannot verify your age, you appear intoxicated, or as we may otherwise determine. All limitations are determined by us in our sole discretion and we will have no liability or responsibility for any consequences resulting from our imposition of any such limitations.

When attending a Gather or using other portions of our Services, you may be exposed to non-public information or materials of Peoplehood or other users ("Confidential Information"). Without limiting the foregoing, Confidential Information includes anything that Peoplehood identifies as confidential or proprietary and any other information or materials that would reasonably be understood, given the nature of the information or materials or the circumstances surrounding its disclosure or access, to be confidential or proprietary. You will (a) hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence and refrain from disclosing it to any third party except with our prior written consent, (b) use Confidential Information only as strictly necessary to use the applicable Services to which such Confidential Information applies, (c) prevent the unauthorized access, use, storage and disclosure of Confidential Information, (d) refrain from directly or indirectly copying, modifying, reverse engineering, decompiling, selling, renting, commercially exploiting, or transferring any Confidential Information to any third party for any purpose, and (e) not confirm or comment on any information, public or otherwise, concerning our Services (including any Gather) without our prior written consent. You agree to return or destroy any Confidential Information when requested by us or when you cease using the applicable Services to which such Confidential Information applies, whichever is earlier. You will notify us immediately following the discovery of any incident that involves or reasonably may involve the unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or loss of any Confidential Information. You understand that breach of these obligations could cause us irreparable harm that is not compensable by monetary damages and you acknowledge we will be entitled to seek and obtain injunctive relief to enforce any breach or threatened breach of this section.

(a) Pricing. Before using our Services or purchasing our Products, you will have an opportunity to review our fees and other charges therefor. All fees and charges are subject to change at any time without notice, except as expressly set forth in connection with a Recurring Membership (as defined below). If you wish to make a purchase, you may be asked to supply certain relevant information, such as your payment card number and its expiration date and your billing address, to us or our payment processors, and you authorize us to store such information for future purchases. You represent and warrant that you have the right to use any payment card that you submit in connection with a purchase. We may receive updated information from your issuing bank or our payment service provider about any payment method you have stored with us. You authorize us to charge your payment method, including any updated payment method information we receive, for any charges you are responsible for under these Terms. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any purchase. You will pay all charges incurred by you or on your behalf, at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred, including all other charges applicable to your purchase. In the event legal action is necessary to collect on balances due, you will reimburse us and our vendors or agents for all expenses incurred to recover sums due, including attorneys' fees and other legal expenses. All charges for our Services and Products, except as set forth below in connection with a Recurring Membership, are non-cancelable and non-refundable.

(b) Services: Recurring Memberships. In using our Services, you may enroll in a payment plan involving automatic renewal (a "Recurring Membership"). If you enroll in a Recurring Membership, you authorize Peoplehood to maintain your account information and charge that account automatically upon the renewal with no further action required by you. The length of your Recurring Membership will be provided when you make your purchase. Your Recurring Membership will automatically renew unless you cancel it or we terminate it, meaning that we will automatically charge fees to you for the length of your Recurring Membership. In the event that Peoplehood is unable to charge your account as authorized by you when you enrolled in a Recurring Membership, Peoplehood may in its sole discretion (i) bill you for our Services and suspend your access to such Services until payment is received or (ii) seek to update your account information through third-party sources (i.e., your bank or a payment processor) to continue charging your account as authorized by you. You may cancel your membership through your account or we may terminate or suspend your membership in our sole discretion. You may cancel a Recurring Membership at any time, but if you cancel your Recurring Membership before the end of the current membership period, we will not refund any membership fees already paid to us. If we terminate or suspend your Recurring Membership, we will refund any prepaid, unused membership fees covering the period after termination or during which you were suspended. Following any cancellation (but not termination), you will continue to have access to the applicable Services through the end of your current membership period. Peoplehood may change the prices charged for Recurring Memberships at any time by posting updated pricing through our Services; provided, however, that the prices for your Recurring Membership will remain in force for the duration of the membership period for which you have paid. After that period ends, your use of the applicable Services will be charged at the then-current membership price. If you do not agree to these price changes, you must cancel your Recurring Membership prior to the billing date in which the changes take effect. If you do not cancel and we do not terminate, your Recurring Membership will automatically renew at the then-current price at the time of renewal and for the same duration as the initial membership term, and Peoplehood will charge your on-file payment card or method on the first day of the renewal of the membership term.

If we create Publicity, (i) you grant to Peoplehood a perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, fully paid, and sublicensable (through multiple tiers) license to display your Likeness in connection with such Publicity and (ii) you waive any of your rights to inspect, approve, or receive attribution with respect to any such Publicity.

Please see Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA for the requirements of a proper notification. If you fail to comply with all of the requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA, your notice may not be effective.

(c) Release. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, AS AN INTERACTIVE SERVICE, OUR SERVICES MAY PLACE YOU INTO DIGITAL OR PHYSICAL PROXIMITY WITH GUIDES, OTHER USERS, OR THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AT IN-PERSON LOCATIONS. ACCORDINGLY, YOU HEREBY SPECIFICALLY, FULLY AND FOREVER RELEASE, COVENANT NOT TO SUE, DISCHARGE, AND INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE PEOPLEHOOD PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 14) RELATED TO (I) DISPUTES BETWEEN USERS OR BETWEEN USERS AND GUIDES, (II) THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF GUIDES OR ANY THIRD PARTIES AND (III) YOUR PARTICIPATION IN OR USE OF OUR SERVICES OR PURCHASE OR USE OF OUR PRODUCTS AT ANY IN-PERSON LOCATIONS. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WAIVER MEANS YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO BRING ANY CLAIMS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, FOR PHYSICAL OR EMOTIONAL INJURIES, DEATH, DISEASE OR PROPERTY LOSSES, OR ANY OTHER LOSS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CLAIMS FOR NEGLIGENCE, AND YOU GIVE UP ANY CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE TO SEEK DAMAGES, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, FORESEEN OR UNFORESEEN. If you are a consumer who resides in California, you hereby waive your rights under California Civil Code § 1542, which provides: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party."

(d) Beneficiaries. ALL DISCLAIMERS AND RELEASES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING IN THIS SECTION 15 AND ELSEWHERE IN THESE TERMS) ARE MADE FOR THE BENEFIT OF PEOPLEHOOD, THE OTHER PEOPLEHOOD PARTIES, AND THE PEOPLEHOOD PARTIES' RESPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS, AS WELL AS THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

(a) Waiver of Certain Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Peoplehood and the other Peoplehood Parties will not be liable to you under any theory of liability—whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, warranty, or otherwise—for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, punitive, or special damages or lost profits, even if Peoplehood or the other Peoplehood Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

(b) Liability Cap. The total liability of Peoplehood and the other Peoplehood Parties to you (whether occurring under these Terms or otherwise), regardless of the form of the action, is limited to the amount paid by you to use our Services or purchase of our Products giving rise to the claim.

(c) Exclusions. The limitations set forth in this Section 16 will not limit or exclude liability for the gross negligence, fraud, or intentional misconduct of Peoplehood or the other Peoplehood Parties or for any other matters in which liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Additionally, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

(a) Arbitrable Claims. For any dispute or claim that you have against Peoplehood, that Peoplehood has against you or that you have, or Peoplehood has, in each case arising from, relating to, or stemming from these Terms, our Services, our Products, or any aspect of the relationship between you and Peoplehood as relates to these Terms or our Services, including any privacy or data security claims (collectively, "Arbitrable Claims," and each an "Arbitrable Claim"), you and Peoplehood agree to attempt to first resolve the Arbitrable Claim informally via the following process. If you assert an Arbitrable Claim against Peoplehood, you will first contact Peoplehood by sending a written notice of your Arbitrable Claim ("Claimant Notice") to Peoplehood by email to . The Claimant Notice must (i) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the Arbitrable Claim; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Peoplehood asserts an Arbitrable Claim against you, Peoplehood will first contact you by sending a written notice of Peoplehood’s Arbitrable Claim ("Peoplehood Notice"), and each of a Claimant Notice and Peoplehood Notice, a "Notice") to you via email to the primary email address associated with your account. The Peoplehood Notice must (A) include the name of a Peoplehood contact and the contact's email address and telephone number; (B) describe the nature and basis of the Arbitrable Claim; and (C) set forth the specific relief sought. If you and Peoplehood cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Arbitrable Claim within thirty (30) days after you or Peoplehood receives such a Notice, then either party may submit the Arbitrable Claim to binding arbitration as set forth below. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for thirty (30) days from the date that either you or Peoplehood first send the applicable Notice so that the parties can engage in this informal dispute-resolution process.

(b) Binding Arbitration. Except for (i) individual disputes that qualify for small claims court, (ii) any disputes exclusively related to the intellectual property or intellectual property rights of you or Peoplehood, including any disputes in which you or Peoplehood seek injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of your or Peoplehood's intellectual property rights or other infringement of your or Peoplehood's intellectual property rights ("IP Claims") and (iii) disputes related to your breach or alleged breach of Section 4, all Arbitrable Claims, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, including, with respect to Arbitrable Claims that are not related to intellectual property or intellectual property rights but are jointly filed with IP Claims, that are not resolved in accordance with Section 17(a) will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator through final and binding arbitration instead of in a court by a judge or jury. Such Arbitrable Claims include, without limitation, disputes arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this arbitration provision, including the enforceability, revocability, or validity of the arbitration provision or any portion of the arbitration provision. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant any remedy or relief that would otherwise be available in court.

(c) Governance. These Terms affect interstate commerce, and the enforceability of this Section 17 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., to the extent permitted by law.

(d) Submission. All Arbitrable Claims must be submitted to the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and will be resolved through binding arbitration before one arbitrator. If you are a consumer, the then-current version of the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply, which are available on the AAA's website (adr.org), as amended by these Terms as follows:

(e) One Year to Assert Claims. To the extent permitted by law, any Arbitrable Claim by you or Peoplehood relating in any way to these Terms, our Services, or any aspect of the relationship between you and Peoplehood as relates to these Terms or our Services, must be filed within one year after such Arbitrable Claim arises; otherwise, the Arbitrable Claim is permanently barred, which means that you and Peoplehood will not have the right to assert the Arbitrable Claim.

(f) Opt-Out Right. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted these Terms by providing us with notice of your decision to opt-out via email at. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name, mailing address, and email address. The notice must also clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with Section 18.

(g) Severability. If any portion of this Section 17 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, including but not limited to because it is found to be unconscionable, (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms; (ii) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 17 or the parties' ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 17; and (iii) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The litigation of those claims will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 17 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 17 will be enforceable.

(h) Other Jurisdictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Terms, if you reside in any country outside of the United States, you may bring legal proceedings regarding the Terms either by following the arbitration procedure detailed above in this Section 17 or, if given the right by applicable law, by submitting the dispute to an arbitration administrator in the jurisdiction in which you reside. To the extent any proceeding is not subject to arbitration under applicable law, you may submit the dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction in which you reside.

These Terms and any claims made hereunder (including Arbitrable Claims) will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent preempted by U.S. Federal Law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. If any Arbitrable Claim is not subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 17, then the state and federal courts located in Manhattan, New York will have exclusive jurisdiction. You and Peoplehood waive any objection to venue in any such courts. If your local law requires that consumer contracts be interpreted subject to local law and enforced in the courts of that jurisdiction, this section may not apply to you only to the extent that local law conflicts with this section.

We reserve the right in our sole discretion to: (a) modify, suspend, or terminate providing our Services (in whole or in part), including, without limitation, (i) terminating or suspending your account, (ii) terminating or suspending your Recurring Membership and/or (iii) removing you from In-Person Locations, Gathers and/or any other Peoplehood events); (b) charge, modify, or waive any fees required to use our Services or Products; or (c) offer opportunities to some or all end users of our Services or purchasers of our Products. We may provide you with notice in advance of the suspension or discontinuation of all or part of our Services, such as by sending an email or providing a notice through our Services. All modifications and additions to our Services or Products will be governed by the Terms or Supplemental Terms, unless otherwise expressly stated by Peoplehood in writing.

You also have the right to stop using our Services or purchasing our Products at any time, and you may terminate these Terms by ceasing use of our Services or purchase of our Products. We are not responsible for any loss or harm related to your inability to access or use our Services or purchase our Products.

If any portion of these Terms other than Section 17 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, including but not limited to because it is found to be unconscionable: (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of these Terms; and (c) the unenforceable or unlawful provision may be revised to the extent required to render the Terms enforceable or valid, and the rights and responsibilities of the parties will be interpreted and enforced accordingly, so as to preserve the Terms and the intent of the Terms to the fullest possible extent.

You are responsible for compliance with United States export controls and for any violation of such controls, including any United States embargoes or other federal rules and regulations restricting exports. You represent, warrant and covenant that you are not (a) located in, or a resident or a national of, any country subject to a U.S. government embargo or other restriction, or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country; or (b) on any of the U.S. government lists of restricted end users.
