All such warranties, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement, are expressly disclaimed.
Without limiting the above, Yakety Yak makes no guarantee about the accuracy, availability, completeness, or reliability of the Service, nor that it will be error-free or operate without interruptions. Service access may be unavailable at times due to peak demand, system upgrades, technical malfunctions, scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, or other reasons.

This includes, but is not limited to, loss of service use, inaccurate results, loss of profits, business interruptions, data loss or corruption, the cost of recovering data, the cost of substitute services, or claims from third parties for damage to computers, software, modems, telephones, or other property—even if Yakety Yak has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Yakety Yak’s total liability to you or any third party claiming through you, regardless of the cause or form of action, is limited to the amount you have paid, if any, to Yakety Yak for the Service in the 12 months before the initial action giving rise to liability. This is an aggregate limit, meaning that multiple claims will not increase this cap.
You acknowledge and agree that Yakety Yak has set its pricing and entered into these Terms and Conditions with you based on these liability limitations, which allocate risk between both parties and form the foundation of this agreement.

Code Providers
In some cases, Promotion Codes may be provided by an authorized third party, such as your employer or another business ("Code Provider"). Your Code Provider may impose additional eligibility requirements or terminate your use of the Promotion Code. For example, if you receive a prepaid Yakety Yak subscription through your employer and your employment ends, your employer may cancel the subscription. If your Code Provider terminates your access, you will retain control of your Yakety Yak account and data and may choose to subscribe independently. If you redeem a Promotion Code from a Code Provider, you acknowledge that Yakety Yak may share data about your usage of the Promotion Code with the Code Provider, including both anonymized, aggregated data and individual usage data.

If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the end of your extended free trial, your subscription will automatically renew for the plan you selected. Your provided payment method will be charged at the standard subscription rate. If you cancel during your free trial, you will retain access to the subscription service until the trial ends, at which point your access will be revoked.
Terms Applicable to All Promotion Codes
These Terms and Conditions are governed by and will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Wisconsin, United States of America, excluding any conflict of law principles. This applies regardless of your country of origin or the location from which you access the Service.
Any dispute or claim related to these Terms and Conditions or the Service that seeks monetary relief must be resolved through binding arbitration on an individual basis as outlined in this section. Pre-Arbitration Process Before initiating arbitration, the party requesting arbitration (“Claimant”) must first send a written Notice of Claim to the other party (“Respondent”) via email or USPS Certified Mail. This notice must include: ● Claimant’s name, address, and contact details ● Identity of legal counsel (if applicable) ● A description of the claim and its basis ● The specific relief sought Within 30 days of receiving the Notice, both parties must engage in at least one good-faith settlement conference via telephone or video call. An individual claimant must personally attend, and an entity must be represented by an employee with settlement authority. Both parties may have legal counsel present. Arbitration can proceed only if no settlement is reached. Arbitration Process Arbitration will be conducted in English by a single arbitrator and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, Procedures for the Resolution of Disputes Through Document Submission, Consumer Fee Schedule, and Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings (“AAA Rules”). If there is any conflict between these AAA Rules and this section, this section takes precedence. If AAA is unavailable, the parties will agree on an alternative arbitration organization or conduct arbitration on an ad hoc basis under the rules in this section. Small Claims Court Option If a dispute falls within the jurisdiction of a small claims court, either party may choose to have it resolved there instead of through arbitration. Multiple Arbitration Claims If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed by or against the same party or related parties with coordinated legal representation, AAA’s Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings will apply. Attorneys filing 25 or more similar arbitration demands against Yakety Yak must comply with AAA’s Filing Requirements for Multiple Case Filings. Class or collective arbitration and joinder of claims are not permitted, except as allowed under AAA’s Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings. Opting Out of Arbitration If you are an individual and do not wish to arbitrate disputes with Yakety Yak, you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending an email to [tammy@yakety.online] within 30 days of first accessing or using the Service. Exceptions Either party may seek non-monetary, injunctive relief or urgent legal remedies in court without engaging in arbitration or the pre-arbitration resolution process.
This agreement was originally drafted in English (US). If there is any conflict between a translated version and the English version, the English version will take precedence.
