The Draft reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to make changes to all or part of these Terms at any time.

9. Disclaimers

USER AGREES THAT USER’S USE OF THE DIGITAL PLATFORM SHALL BE AT USER’S SOLE RISK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DRAFT, ITS SUPPLIERS, AND AFFILIATES, AND THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN CONNECTION WITH THE DIGITAL PLATFORM, MATERIALS, CONTENT, AND USER’S USE THEREOF, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TIMELINESS, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE DIGITAL PLATFORM AND ALL MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS AVAILABLE,” “AS IS,” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND.

10. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE DRAFT, ITS SUPPLIERS, OR AFFILIATES, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM OR RELATED TO ANY (I) ERRORS, MISTAKES, OR INACCURACIES IN THE DIGITAL PLATFORM; (II) PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER; (III) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE DIGITAL PLATFORM; (IV) ANY TRANSMISSION TO OR FROM THE DIGITAL PLATFORM; (V) ANY BUGS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, OR THE LIKE, WHICH MAY BE TRANSMITTED TO OR THROUGH THE DIGITAL PLATFORM; (VI) ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT OR FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF USER’S USE OF ANY CONTENT POSTED, EMAILED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE VIA THE DIGITAL PLATFORM; AND/OR (VII) THE DISCLOSURE OR USE OF INFORMATION OR USER CONTENT PURSUANT TO THESE TERMS, IN EACH CASE WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE DRAFT IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW IN THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.

IF ANY EXCLUSION, DISCLAIMER OR OTHER PROVISION CONTAINED IN THESE TERMS IS HELD TO BE INVALID FOR ANY REASON BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, AND THE DRAFT, OR ONE OF ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, OR EMPLOYEES BECOMES LIABLE FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE THAT COULD OTHERWISE BE LIMITED, SUCH LIABILITY WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE WILL NOT EXCEED IN THE AGGREGATE THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY USER TO THE DRAFT (IF ANY) OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00 USD). BECAUSE SOME STATES/JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO USER. IF USER IS DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE DIGITAL PLATFORM, OR WITH ANY PORTION OF THESE TERMS, USER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USING THE DIGITAL PLATFORM.

IF USER IS A RESIDENT OF NEW JERSEY, TO THE EXTENT NEW JERSEY LAW PROHIBITS THE LIMITATIONS AND/OR EXCLUSIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS, SUCH LIMITATIONS AND/OR EXCLUSIONS SHALL NOT APPLY TO USER.

User agrees to indemnify and hold harmless The Draft, its suppliers, and affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, members, managers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, losses, liability, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to User’s use of the Digital Platform, and User covenants not to sue The Draft or its affiliates for any injuries to User or User’s property arising out of or related to User use of the Digital Platform.

12. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) Notices

The Draft takes copyright infringement very seriously. It is The Draft’s policy to terminate the account of any User who repeatedly infringes copyrighted material upon prompt notification to The Draft by the copyright owner or the copyright owner’s legal agent. Without limiting the foregoing, if you believe that your work has been copied and posted on the Digital Platform in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide The Draft’s Copyright Agent with the following information:

  • An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest;

  • A description of the location on the Digital Platform of the material that you claim is infringing;
  • Your address, telephone number and e-mail address;

Contact information for The Draft’s Copyright Agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement is as follows: comms@thedraft.io

13. Termination

The Draft may suspend the Digital Platform or User’s account or any other provision of services to User, and The Draft may terminate these Terms, in its sole discretion without explanation and notice.

Such notice should be sent to the Contact Information in Section 18 below. Termination of these Terms may result in the immediate deletion of any User Content that User has submitted to The Draft. The Draft will not have any liability whatsoever to User for any suspension or termination, including for deletion of User Content. All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination.

14. Disputes; Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware and the United States of America, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. Any claim or dispute between User and The Draft that relates to or arises in whole or in part from these Terms shall be decided exclusively by a state or federal court having jurisdiction over New Castle County, Delaware, U.S.A.; provided, that User hereby agrees that any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms or User’s use of the Digital Platform or any information, materials or services User obtains from The Draft requires that such claim be resolved exclusively by confidential binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted before three neutral arbitrators in New Castle County, Delaware, U.S.A., in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as then in effect. No claims of any other parties may be joined or otherwise combined in the arbitration proceeding. Unless otherwise expressly required by applicable law, each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees without regard to which party is deemed the prevailing party in the arbitration proceeding. Punitive and consequential damages may not be awarded under these Terms.

BECAUSE THE USE OF THE DIGITAL PLATFORM REQUIRES THE ARBITRATION OF ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES EXISTING BETWEEN THE PARTIES, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE THAT CLAIM IN COURT OR BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR ANY OTHER COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATORS’ DECISION WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING. OTHER RIGHTS THAT EITHER PARTY WOULD HAVE IF SUCH PARTY WENT TO COURT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT DISCOVERY OR TO APPEAL, MAY BE LIMITED OR UNAVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

The award of the arbitrators may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party hereby consents (i) to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts having jurisdiction over New Castle County, Delaware for any action (a) to compel arbitration, (b) to enforce any award of the arbitrators, (c) at any time prior to the qualification and appointment of the arbitrators, for temporary, interim or provisional equitable remedies, or (d) to enforce The Draft’s intellectual property rights under these Terms, and (ii) for service of process in any such action by registered mail or any other means provided by law. Should this section be deemed invalid or otherwise unenforceable for any reason, it shall be severed and the parties agree that sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in the state or federal courts having jurisdiction over New Castle County, Delaware, U.S.A.

15. Miscellaneous

The Draft may assign its rights and duties under these Terms without notice to User. User may not assign these Terms without the prior written consent of The Draft, and any assignment in contravention of the foregoing shall be null and void. If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and The Draft’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. These Terms, as revised from time to time by The Draft, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with regard to the subject matter in these Terms and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, as to such subject matter. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved to The Draft.

16. Contact Information
