4. Subscription Plans, Credit Bundles, and Billing Terms

Libro.fm provides various automatically-renewing subscription plans and credit bundles as described on the Site and Service Applications and in this section.

Automatically Renewing Subscriptions

You may elect to purchase an automatically-renewing Libro.fm membership (“Subscription”) that automatically renews periodically. Subscriptions will automatically renew at the beginning of each billing period on the same terms until you cancel at any time by using any of the cancellation methods below. To check your next renewal date, log on to your Account at https://libro.fm/user and look at the date beside “Next credit available”. That is the date you will be charged, unless you cancel your membership earlier.

Canceling a Subscription

To cancel your Subscription, simply go to your account page at https://libro.fm/user and click the “Cancel Membership” button, or go to https://libro.fm/membership/cancel to cancel. If you have trouble canceling for any reason, please email hello@libro.fm and request help with cancellation. After cancellation, you will not be automatically charged for any more audiobook credits, but your unused credits remain available to be redeemed or used on gifts.

Credit Bundles

You may elect to purchase a credit bundle for yourself or to give to another person as a gift. Libro.fm offers credit bundles with varying associated credits (e.g., a 3-credit bundle that comes with 3 audiobook credits).

Billing Information

When you provide your payment method to Libro.fm, you are granting your express consent and are expressly authorizing us to automatically charge you each period for your Subscription. If you provide a payment method and our charge results in an overdraft, chargeback, or other fee from your bank, you alone are responsible for that fee.

You must provide and at all times must maintain accurate, complete, and current billing information, including but not limited to your postal/zip code, credit card number, and credit card expiration date. If you become aware of a potential breach of security to your billing information (such as credit card loss or theft), you must notify Libro.fm immediately.

If you do not pay on time or if Libro.fm cannot charge your credit card or other payment method for any reason, Libro.fm reserves the right to either suspend or terminate your Subscription.

Modifications to Service and Pricing

Libro.fm reserves the right at any time and from time to time to change, modify, add, remove, suspend, cancel, or discontinue any aspect of its Subscriptions in Libro.fm’s sole discretion. If the Subscription you subscribed to is materially altered, you will receive notice by email and the opportunity to cancel your Subscription if you do not agree to the changes.

In addition, Libro.fm may modify its subscription fees from time to time. In the event the subscription fee for your Subscription plan has been modified, and you are required to pay a different fee than at the time you entered into these terms, you will be notified at least thirty (30) days before you are billed at the different rate at the email address for you on file and have the opportunity to cancel your Subscription. If you do not cancel your Subscription before the next billing renewal date, you will be deemed to have accepted the new fees.

5. Termination by Libro.fm

To the extent allowable by law, Libro.fm reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Libro.fm Service at any time for any violation of these Terms or other good reason. In such case, you will be notified of the suspension or termination by email.

If Libro.fm terminates your account and you purchased a Subscription, Libro.fm will refund you the prorated portion of your prepayment for the greater of the then-current month or other applicable time period for your Subscription, or for the unused Subscription credits.

The Libro.fm Service includes features that operate in conjunction with certain third party social networking websites that you visit ("Social Network Features"). For example, and without limitation, Social Network Features may include tools that direct you to Libro.fm’s social media channels or share content to social networks.

12. Dispute Resolution – Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver

Please read this Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver carefully. It affects your rights.

Most customer concerns regarding the Libro.fm Service can be resolved quickly and to a customer’s satisfaction by emailing us at hello@libro.fm. This Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver (“Arbitration Agreement”) facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any Disputes that may arise between you and Libro.fm regarding your use of the Libro.fm Services. Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which persons with a dispute waive their rights to file a lawsuit, to proceed in court and to a jury trial, and instead submit their disputes to a neutral third person (or arbitrator) for a binding decision. You have the right to opt-out of this Arbitration Agreement (as explained below), which means you would retain your right to litigate your disputes in a court, either before a judge or jury.

For the purpose of this Arbitration Agreement, “Libro.fm” means Libro.fm, SPC and its parents, subsidiaries, and affiliated companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents. The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Libro.fm regarding any aspect of your relationship with Libro.fm, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, gross negligence or reckless behavior), or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Arbitration Agreement (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below). “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced.

YOU AND LIBRO.FM EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution: For all Disputes you must first give Libro.fm an opportunity to resolve the Dispute. You must commence this process by mailing written notification to PO Box 70525, Seattle, WA 98127, USA or by emailing written notice to hello@libro.fm. That written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of the Dispute, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If Libro.fm does not resolve the Dispute to your satisfaction within 45 days after it receives your written notification, you may pursue your Dispute in arbitration.

Exclusions from Arbitration/Opt Out: Notwithstanding the above, you may opt-out of this Arbitration Agreement by mailing written notification to PO Box 70525, Seattle, WA 98127, USA or by emailing written notice to hello@libro.fm. Your notice must contain the following information: (1) your name; (2) your address; and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve Disputes with us through arbitration. Your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration Agreement will have no adverse effect on your relationship with us, but we must receive this opt-out request within 30 days from the date that you first consent to these Terms of Use. Any opt-out request received after this deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your Dispute in arbitration or small claims court.

Arbitration: This Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver (“Arbitration Agreement”) facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any Disputes that may arise between you and Libro.fm. Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which parties to a contract agree to submit their Disputes and potential Disputes to a neutral third person (called an arbitrator) for a binding decision, instead of having such Dispute(s) decided in a lawsuit, in court, by a judge or jury trial.

Arbitration Procedures: If this Arbitration Agreement applies and the Dispute is not resolved as provided above (“Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution”) either you or Libro.fm may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all Disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration and shall in no event be commenced as a representative or class arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Arbitration Agreement.

For arbitration before the AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Arbitration Agreement governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.

Because your contract with Libro.fm, these Terms of Use, and this Arbitration Agreement concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all Disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.

Arbitration Award: The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator shall make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award by the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA or applicable state law, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.

Location of Arbitration: You may initiate arbitration in either Seattle, Washington or in the federal judicial district that includes your address that you provide in your written notification of Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. In the event that Libro.fm initiates an arbitration, it may only do so in the federal judicial district that includes your address that you provide in your written notification of Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution.

Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs: Libro.fm will pay all arbitration filing fees and arbitrator’s costs and expenses upon your written request given prior to the commencement of the arbitration. You are responsible for all additional fees and costs that you incur in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys or expert witnesses. Fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law. In addition to any rights to recover fees and costs under applicable law, if you provide notice and negotiate in good faith with Libro.fm as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover from Libro.fm your actual and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.

Class Action Waiver: The parties agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, representative action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless both you and Libro.fm specifically agree in writing to do so following initiation of the arbitration. Neither you, nor any other subscriber and/or user of Libro.fm’s services, can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, representative, consolidated or private attorney general proceeding.

Limitation of Procedural Rights: You understand and agree that, by entering into this Arbitration Agreement, you and Libro.fm are each agreeing to arbitration instead of the right to a trial before a judge or jury in a public court. In the absence of this Arbitration Agreement, you and Libro.fm might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring Disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). You give up those rights and instead agree to arbitration. Other rights that you would have if you went to court, such as the right to appeal and to certain types of discovery, may be more limited in arbitration. The right to appellate review of an arbitrator’s decision is much more limited than in court, and in general an arbitrator’s decision may not be appealed for errors of fact or law.

Severability: If any clause within this Arbitration Agreement (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Arbitration Agreement, and the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then this entire Arbitration Agreement will be unenforceable, and the Dispute will be decided by a court.

Continuation: This Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver shall survive the termination of your contract with Libro.fm and your use of the Libro.fm Services.

13. Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue

Unless prohibited by local law, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 12 of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. For the sake of clarity, the choice of Washington law shall not exclude, limit or supersede a consumer’s rights or remedies under mandatory consumer protection laws in the jurisdiction where the consumer resides. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit a party’s right to seek equitable relief at any time.

If the Arbitration Agreement (as set forth in Section 12) is held to be unenforceable, you agree that any claims or disputes that you have against us must be resolved in the federal or state courts located in Seattle, Washington to the extent permissible by applicable law. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any Dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims appropriately brought in small claims court may be filed in any court of competent jurisdiction.

14. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold Libro.fm SPC, and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, and affiliated entities harmless from any and all claims, demands, damages or other losses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from or arising out of your use of the Site and/or the Libro.fm Service, your negligent or intentional misuse of the Products, or any breach by you of these Terms or any other policies that Libro.fm may issue for the Site and/or Libro.fm Service from time to time.

Section 12 Dispute Resolution is modified to state:

12. Dispute Resolution – Arbitration Agreement

Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It affects your rights.

Most customer concerns regarding the Libro.fm Service can be resolved quickly and to a customer’s satisfaction by emailing us at hello@libro.fm. This Arbitration Agreement (“Arbitration Agreement”) facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any Disputes that may arise between you and Libro.fm regarding your use of the Libro.fm Services. Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which persons with a dispute waive their rights to file a lawsuit, to proceed in court and to a jury trial, and instead submit their disputes to a neutral third person (or arbitrator) for a binding decision. You have the right to opt-out of this Arbitration Agreement (as explained below), which means you would retain your right to litigate your disputes in a court, either before a judge or jury.

For the purpose of this Arbitration Agreement, “Libro.fm” means Libro.fm, SPC and its parents, subsidiaries, and affiliated companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents. The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Libro.fm regarding any aspect of your relationship with Libro.fm, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, gross negligence or reckless behavior), or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Arbitration Agreement. “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced.

YOU AND LIBRO.FM EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED BELOW, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

Arbitration: This Arbitration Agreement facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any Disputes that may arise between you and Libro.fm. Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which parties to a contract agree to submit their Disputes and potential Disputes to a neutral third person (called an arbitrator) for a binding decision, instead of having such Dispute(s) decided in a lawsuit, in court, by a judge or jury trial.

Limitation of Procedural Rights: You understand and agree that, by entering into this Arbitration Agreement, you and Libro.fm are each agreeing to arbitration instead of the right to a trial before a judge or jury in a public court. In the absence of this Arbitration Agreement, you and Libro.fm might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring Disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others. You give up those rights and instead agree to arbitration. Other rights that you would have if you went to court, such as the right to appeal and to certain types of discovery, may be more limited in arbitration. The right to appellate review of an arbitrator’s decision is much more limited than in court, and in general an arbitrator’s decision may not be appealed for errors of fact or law.

Severability: If any clause within this Arbitration is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Arbitration Agreement, and the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement will be given full force and effect.

Continuation: This Arbitration Agreement shall survive the termination of your contract with Libro.fm and your use of the Libro.fm Services.
