1. Using the site AURORE.

2. Feedback.

We welcome feedback, comments and suggestions for improvements to AURORE and the site. You can submit Feedback by emailing us at hello@readaurore.com. You grant to us a non-exclusive, transferable, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully-paid, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, under any and all intellectual property rights that you own or control to use, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon and otherwise exploit the Feedback for any purpose.

3. Subscription.

We may let you access some content for free on the site or when you sign up for an Account. To access more of our content and certain features of our Services, you must purchase a subscription ("Subscription"). You can find additional information about pricing for our Subscriptions on our Membership Page.

(a) General.

When you purchase a Subscription (a "Transaction"), you expressly authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge you for such Transaction. We may ask you to supply additional information relevant to your Transaction, including your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card and your email and postal addresses for billing and notification (such information, "Payment Information"). You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use all payment method(s) represented by any such Payment Information. When you initiate a Transaction, and click on the Purchase button, you authorize us to provide your Payment Information to third parties so we can complete your Transaction and to charge your payment method for the type of Transaction you have selected (plus any applicable taxes and other charges). You may need to provide additional information to verify your identity before completing your Transaction (such information is included within the definition of Payment Information).

(b) Subscriptions.

You may purchase a Subscription with an annual or monthly renewal period, and you may select this at the point you make your Subscription. If you purchase a Subscription, you will be charged the annual or monthly Subscription fee, which will be inclusive of all applicable taxes, and other charges ("Subscription Fee"), at the beginning of your Subscription and each applicable yearly or monthly renewal period thereafter, at the then-current Subscription Fee. Please note that your Subscription will automatically renew, until it is cancelled. If you purchase an annual Subscription, we (or our third-party payment processor) will automatically charge you each year on the anniversary of the commencement of your Subscription, using the Payment Information you have provided until you cancel your Subscription. If you purchase a monthly Subscription, we (or our third-party payment processor) will automatically charge you each month on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your Subscription, using the Payment Information you have provided until you cancel your Subscription. In the event your Subscription began on a day not contained in a given month, your payment method will be charged on a day in the applicable month or such other day as we deem appropriate. For example, if you started your Subscription on January 31st, your next payment date is likely to be February 28th, and your payment method would be billed on that date. If you have an annual Subscription, Aurore will send you a reminder at least five (5) days prior to each renewal with the then-current Subscription Fee. By agreeing to these Terms and electing to purchase a Subscription, you acknowledge that your Subscription has recurring payment features and you accept responsibility for all recurring payment obligations prior to cancelation of your Subscription by you or Aurore. Your Subscription continues until cancelled by you or we terminate your access to or use of AURORE or Subscription in accordance with these Terms.

In the event of a free trial subscription, after the trial period, the card you provided at sign up will be charged unless you cancel prior to the trial period ending.

(c) Changing Your Subscription.

You may change your Subscription from annual to monthly, or vice versa, by following the instructions on your account. If you make such a change, your payment date may also change. If you change from a Monthly Subscription to an Annual Subscription, on your next payment date, you will be charged the then-current Subscription Fee for an Annual Membership, and your Annual Subscription will renew on an annual basis. If you change from an Annual Subscription to a Monthly Subscription, at the next renewal date for your Annual Subscription, you will be charged the then-current Subscription Fee for a Monthly Membership, and your Monthly Subscription will renew on a Monthly basis.

(d) Access to Content.

Upon completion of the Transaction you will receive an email confirmation from us and immediately be able to access the Content. Once you access the Content you will have no right to repayment of any Subscription Fees and you acknowledge and agree that you waive any right to a refund of such Subscription Fees.

(e) Canceling Your Subscription.

YOUR PURCHASE IS FINAL AND YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A REFUND OF ANY PORTION OF THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE PAID FOR THE THEN CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD AT THE TIME OF CANCELATION. But if something unexpected happens in the course of completing a Transaction, we reserve the right to cancel your Transaction for any reason; if we cancel your Transaction we'll refund any payment you have already remitted to us for such Transaction. Without limiting the foregoing, you may cancel your Subscription at any time, but please note that such cancelation will be effective at the end of the then-current Subscription period. To cancel, you can follow the instructions on your account. You will be responsible for all Subscription Fees (plus any applicable taxes and other charges) incurred for the then-current Subscription period. If you cancel, your right to use the Services will continue until the end of your then current subscription period and will then terminate without further charges.

11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction for users in the European Union.

These Terms shall be governed by English law, except that if you are a consumer and live in a country of the European Union, other than England, there may be certain mandatory applicable laws of your country which apply for your benefit and protection in addition to or instead of certain provisions of English law. You agree that any dispute between us regarding these Terms will be dealt with only by the English courts, except that if you are a consumer and you live in a country of the European Union other than England, you can chose to bring legal proceedings either in your country or in England, but if we bring proceedings we may only do so in your country.

The European Online Dispute Resolution platform ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/ provides information about alternative dispute resolution which may be of interest but we are under no legal obligation to use this platform. It is a requirement that this information is provided but neither of us have an obligation to use the platform.

12. Governing Law and Forum Choice - Users in the United States.

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 13 "Dispute Resolution," the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes (defined below) that you and Aurore are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal courts located in New York City, and you and Aurore each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

13. Dispute Resolution.

This section is subject to applicable law and may not apply to you.

(a) Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes.

Subject to applicable law, we each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of AURORE or Content (collectively, "Disputes") will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. For residents of the United States, you and Aurore agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and that you and Aurore are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. For residents of Canada, you and Aurore agree that the arbitration legislation of your province or territory governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.

(b) Exceptions and Opt-out.

As limited exceptions to Section 13(a) above: (i) you may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights. In addition, you will retain the right to opt out of arbitration entirely and litigate any Dispute if you provide us with written notice of your desire to do so by email at hello@readaurore.com within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms.

(c) Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules.

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org.

If your claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic or video-conference hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds U.S. $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish or Canadian municipality) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location. For users in Canada, If the AAA is unable to facilitate an arbitration hearing within a reasonable distance from the Canadian municipality where you live, Aurore agrees to arbitration through the arbitration service that is closest to your residence; In such circumstances, if you and Aurore cannot agree on arbitral rules to apply, the arbitrator shall select the rules that the arbitrator, in his or her sole discretion, deems to be best suited for the fair and efficient resolution of the dispute and, to the extent that you and Aurore cannot agree on an arbitrator, the arbitration service shall appoint one.The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.

(d) Arbitration Costs.

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. We'll pay for all filing, administration and arbitrator fees and expenses if your Dispute is for less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we'll pay all of our attorneys' fees and costs and won't seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.

(e) Class Action Waiver.

YOU AND AURORE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND, SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties' dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.

(f) Effect of Changes on Arbitration.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 "Changes to Terms or Services" above, if Aurore changes any of the terms of this Section 13 "Dispute Resolution" after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to hello@readaurore.com) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the "Last Updated" date above or in the date of Aurore's email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Aurore in accordance with the terms of this Section 13 "Dispute Resolution" as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

(g) Severability.

With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 13(e) of these Terms ("Class Action Waiver"), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.

18. General Terms.

(a) Entire Agreement.

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Aurore and you regarding AURORE and Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Aurore and you regarding AURORE and Content.

Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. Aurore may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction.

(b) Notices.

Any notices or other communications provided by Aurore under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to AURORE. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

(c) Waiver of Rights.

The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Aurore.
