Generation Transfer was founded by a group of parents with the goal of creating a safe alternative to
social media networks that increase rates of depression, low self-esteem, social isolation and fear
of missing out in tweens and teens
We are building an online platform to help parents and grandparents share meaningful wisdom and life
experience with children in a mutually-engaging way

All formal disputes must be resolved through arbitration following the rules described below, unless you opt out of arbitration following the procedure described below. Claims can only be brought individually, and not as part of a class action.
13.1. Informal Resolution. Before filing a claim against Generation Transfer, you agree to try to resolve the dispute by first emailing_legal@generationtransfer.com with a description of your claim. We'll try to resolve the dispute informally by following up via email, phone or other methods.

13.3. Arbitration Opt-Out. You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing us [at_arbitration@generationtransfer.com] within thirty (30) days of the date that you first agree to this Agreement ("Opt-Out Period"). Your email must be sent from the email address you use for your Account, and must include your full name, residential address and a clear statement that you want to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out of arbitration pursuant to this Section 13.3, then Sections 13.2, 13.5, 13.6 and 13.7 of these Terms do not apply to you.

If applicable law prohibits a one year limitation period for asserting claims, any claim must be asserted within the shortest time period permitted by applicable law.
13.5. Arbitration Procedures. JAMS, Inc. ("JAMS") will administer the arbitration in accordance with the_JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures("JAMS Rules") in effect at the time of the dispute. You and Generation Transfer agree that this Agreement affects interstate commerce, so the US Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply and govern the interpretation and enforcement of these provisions (despite the choice of law provision below). Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Delaware, in English, and shall be settled by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with the JAMS Rules. The arbitrator must follow this Agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and costs), except that the arbitrator may not award declaratory or injunctive relief benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
13.6. Arbitration Fees. The JAMS Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. We won't seek our attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous.
13.7. Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. Either you or Generation Transfer may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Delaware or any United States state where you live or work. Either you or Generation Transfer may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services, or intellectual property infringement or misappropriation (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute resolution process described above._
13.8. Judicial Forum for Disputes; Time for Filing. If our agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, or if you opt out of arbitration pursuant to Section 13.3, you and Generation Transfer agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) must be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts of Delaware and you and Generation Transfer consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in those courts. Any claim not subject to arbitration must be commenced within one year after the date the party asserting the claim first knows or reasonably should know of the act, omission or default giving rise to the claim. If applicable law prohibits a one year limitation period for asserting claims, any claim must be asserted within the shortest time period permitted by applicable law.
