Limitation of Liability
5.1Limitation of Liability.
(a) Exclusion of Consequential Damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

This Agreement commences on the date Customer first accesses or uses the Service or creates an account (the “Effective Date”) and continues until terminated in accordance with this Section 6.

6.2Termination for Convenience.
Either party may terminate this Agreement for convenience by providing at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other party. In the event of termination by Customer for convenience, no refund of prepaid Subscription Fees shall be due, except as otherwise provided in the applicable subscription plan or as required by applicable law.

Dispute Resolution
7.1Informal Resolution.
Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding, the parties shall first attempt to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement (“Dispute”) through good-faith negotiation. The party raising the Dispute shall provide written notice to the other party describing the nature of the Dispute and the relief sought. The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days of such notice.
7.2Binding Arbitration.
If the parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiation within the thirty (30) day period specified in Section 7.1, the Dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA’s rules. The arbitration may be conducted virtually by videoconference at Customer’s election. For in-person arbitration, the location shall be Wilmington, Delaware, or such other location as the parties may mutually agree. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Filing Fees. For Customer-initiated arbitration claims with an amount in controversy of twenty-five thousand U.S. dollars ($25,000) or less, Quick Organics will pay the AAA filing fee at the time of filing, provided that this provision shall not apply in the case of any mass arbitration as defined under the AAA Mass Arbitration Rules. In the case of a mass arbitration rule, the AAA Mass Arbitration Rules shall apply.
Mass Action Waiver. The parties expressly waive the right to have any dispute, claim, or controversy brought, heard, administered, resolved, or arbitrated as a mass action, and neither an arbitrator nor an arbitration provider shall have any authority to hear, arbitrate, or administer any mass action or to award relief to anyone but the individual in arbitration. The parties also expressly waive the right to seek, recover, or obtain any non-individual relief. This mass action waiver does not prevent you or Quick Organics from participating in a mass settlement of claims.
NO ARBITRATION SHALL PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS EVEN IF THE DISPUTE OR DISPUTES THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE ARBITRATION HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ASSERTED (OR COULD HAVE BEEN ASSERTED) IN A COURT AS CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE ACTIONS IN A COURT.
7.3Exceptions.
Notwithstanding Section 7.2: (a) either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights or Confidential Information; (b) either party may bring a claim in small claims court if the claim falls within such court’s jurisdiction; and (c) any Dispute that is not subject to arbitration under applicable law shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

Quick Organics will also provide reasonable assistance to Customer to comply with consumer requests made pursuant to the CCPA. Quick Organics certifies its understanding of these restrictions and its intent to comply. Equivalent processor/service-provider terms apply under the Colorado Privacy Act, Connecticut Data Privacy Act, Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, and other applicable state laws.
(b) Data Processing Addendum (GDPR/UK GDPR). Upon request, Quick Organics will enter into a Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) with Customer where required by applicable data protection law, including the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”), or the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada). The DPA shall be provided as a separate agreement and, where executed, shall take precedence over conflicting provisions in these Terms with respect to the processing of personal data. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Quick Organics does not knowingly process Personal Information of EU/UK/EEA-resident data subjects (see Privacy Policy and Customer’s warranty under Section 3.2(f)).
(c) Subprocessors. A current list of Quick Organics’ subprocessors is published at quickorganics.com/subprocessors. Quick Organics will provide Customer with at least thirty (30) days’ advance notice of any new subprocessor with access to Personal Information, by email or in-app notification. Customer may object to a new subprocessor for legitimate reasons related to data protection by providing written notice within fifteen (15) days; if such objection cannot be reasonably resolved, Customer may terminate this Agreement and receive a pro-rata refund of prepaid Subscription Fees for the unused subscription term.
