Waiver of Class Action

You acknowledge and agree that you and Treads are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Treads otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims (e.g., one individual's claims, one entity's claims), and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding.

Other Provisions

General. You may not assign these Terms without Treads’s prior written approval. Treads may assign these Terms without your consent to: (i) a subsidiary or affiliate of Treads; (ii) an acquirer of Treads’s equity, business or assets; or (iii) a successor by merger. Any purported assignment in violation of this section shall be void. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you, Treads or any Third Party Provider as a result of this Agreement or use of the Services. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced to the fullest extent under the law. Treads’s failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by Treads in writing.

Governing Law. This Agreement and the relationship between you and Treads will be governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of laws principles that would require the application of the laws of a different country or state.
