If we make changes to these Terms, we will post the revised Terms on the Glue Platform and the Site and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms. If we make material changes to these Terms, we will notify you here, or if you have created an account with Glue, by emailing you at the address we have for you in our records. If you object to any such modifications, your sole recourse shall be to cease using the Glue Platform and, if you have a subscription with Glue, canceling that subscription within 30 days of your receipt of our notice of changes. Continued access to or use of the Glue Platform following notice of modification of these Terms will constitute acceptance of the revised Terms.
- Additional Terms. Special terms or rules may apply to some Services. Any such terms are in addition to these Terms. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these Terms, our Privacy Notice, and any rules, restrictions, limitations, terms and/or conditions that may be communicated to users of the Services, Glue shall determine which rules, restrictions, limitations, terms and/or conditions shall control and prevail, in our sole discretion, and you specifically waive any right to challenge or dispute such determination.
- Our Mission. Our mission is to make people as happy as they can possibly be at work. To us, this looks like disrupting the decades old status quo and focusing on what actually makes people happy at work: Connection. Connection to peers, connection to leadership, and connection to a common purpose. We make this possible by linking valuable insights to actionable solutions all available in an easy-to-use online platform.
- Scope of the Services. The Glue Platform and its incorporated technology provide data-driven insights into employee engagement and employee morale and offer various tools to increase employee engagement and morale, including virtual events (each an “Experience” or “Glue Experience”). Glue also offers professional services to help you utilize the Glue Platform and customize/optimize your Glue Experiences. In order to bring you the best Glue Experiences, Glue works with both internal hosts and third-party partners (“Third-Party Service Providers” or “Partners”) to provide you with the Services.
- Third-Party Service Providers. Certain Experiences made available through the Glue Platform are designed and provided by Third Party Service Providers. The content and delivery of such Experiences are outside of Glue’s control. Third-Party Service Providers are responsible for ensuring the quality of such Experiences and Glue shall be held responsible or liable for the action of Third-Party Service Providers during any such Glue Experiences. However, Glue encourages users to communicate any issues or concerns regarding Third-Party Service Providers so that Glue can ensure appropriate remedial measures for any low-quality Third-Party Service Provider.
- Subscription Terms
- Platform Access. Access to the Glue Platform is made available when a subscription is purchased through a written order form or purchase order (“Order”), subject to compliance with these terms and payment of any applicable fees. If your Order includes the purchase of a certain number of licenses or user accounts (in either case “User Accounts”) for your organization, you will be granted the right to use the Platform for the designated number of User Accounts specified in your Order, each of which shall receive a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable right to use the Platform, solely for your internal business purposes, during the Term of your Subscription. You may assign any purchased User Account to one individual within your organization, and each User Account can only be associated with a single individual. If at any point your organization has more User Accounts than purchased in your Order, Glue may charge you for such additional User Accounts via an invoice, on a pro-rated basis, as set forth in sections 5(b) and 5(e) of these Terms.
- Subscription Fees. Fees for subscription contract, engagement plan, or other recurring contract (“Plan”) with Glue is determined by the applicable Order. If you add to your organization’s account or choose to purchase additional User Accounts, credits, or other features during the Term of your Order, such purchase is subject to additional fees (“Additional Fees”) and you agree that Glue may invoice you for such Additional Fees, per the terms of section 5(e) of these Terms.
- Fees for Subscription Experiences. Fees for Subscription Experiences are determined based on the credits or seats, and any applicable additional fees, required to book each Subscription Experience. If your Plan has sufficient seats or credits to book a Subscription Experience, booking the Subscription Experience will result in that number of seats or credits being deducted from the your account. You will be charged for the number of credits or seats required to pay for the number of participants who register for or attend the Glue Experience (whichever is higher) and such credits or seats will be deducted from your Plan. If your Plan does not include sufficient seats or credits to cover all registrants, Glue will invoice you for the additional seats or credits at an additional fee. Glue will charge you for any additional unregistered participants who attend the Experience. Seats and credits will expire at the end of the term of the Order. Additionally, there may be additional fees communicated ahead of time or listed on the booking page for enhanced events, delivered goods, premium events, or VIP Host events if those events are not covered by the Plan that applies to the your account. If there are additional fees required for any Subscription Experience, you agree to pay all additional fees, plus any applicable taxes.
- Taxes. The fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). you are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases under this Agreement and any Order or Experience. If Glue has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which you are responsible, including for fees previously invoiced, Glue will invoice you and you will pay that amount (unless you provide Glue with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority). Glue is solely responsible for taxes assessable against Glue based on its income, property and employees.
- Payment. You agree to pay all fees, plus any applicable taxes, applicable to your use of the Glue Platform. Glue will invoice you for the fees applicable to any Order, Additional Fees, and fees for any Subscription Experience. Additional Fees associated with additional User Accounts shall be pro-rated based on the month the additional User Account was created through the end of the Term. You agree to make payment of all undisputed fees in full by the payment due date, or if there is no date on the invoice within 15 days after delivery. You agree to notify Glue within 7 days if there are any disputed amounts. The Parties will endeavor in good faith to resolve any dispute within 15 days of the date of notice of such dispute. All undisputed amounts past due will be charged a fee of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the highest amount allowed by law, whichever is lower.
- Credit Card Payments. At the time of paying the fees, you will be required to provide payment method information (e.g., credit card information or other payment method that Glue accepts or may in the future accept). You authorize us and/or our third-party payment processor to charge your chosen payment method for those fees without further consent or notice. You authorize us, or a third-party working on our behalf, to collect and store that payment method, along with other related transaction information. The terms of your payment will be based on your payment method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer, or other provider of your chosen method of payment (your “Payment Provider”). If your purchase results in an overdraft or other fee from your banking institution, you are responsible for paying that fee. If we do not receive payment from your Payment Provider, you agree to pay all fees due in connection with your Transactional Experience upon demand. In the event we are advised of insufficient funds in your account or credit to cover your payment by credit card, we may re-submit the payment to your Payment Provider. You agree to immediately notify Glue of any change in your payment method information used for payment hereunder.
- Term and Termination.
- Term. The term of any Order commences on the Effective Date Set forth therein and, unless earlier terminated as set forth below, will remain in effect for the term set forth in the Order (“Initial Term”). If no Effective Date is defined in the Order the term of such Order shall commence on the date of signature of the Order and the Initial Term shall be one year. THE ORDER SHALL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW FOLLOWING THE INITIAL TERM FOR A SUBSEQUENT TERM OF EQUAL LENGTH (EACH A “RENEWAL TERM”) UNLESS WRITTEN NOTICE IS PROVIDED BY EITHER PARTY AT LEAST 15 DAYS PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE THEN CURRENT TERM. The Initial Term together with any Renewal Term permitted under this Section is the “Term” of this Agreement. All unused seats or credits may roll over to future terms if the Plan is renewed for an equal or greater period, otherwise unused seats or credits expire at the end of the Term.
- Renewal Term. The terms of the Renewal Term will be the same as the Initial Term, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing; provided that unless otherwise agreed to by the parties or as set forth on an Order, Glue reserves the right to increase the applicable fees for any renewal periods by up to 7% of fees applicable to the preceding Term.
- Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time if the other party materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure such material breach within 30 days after it receives written notice of such breach. For the sake of example, you will materially breach this agreement by using the Services for non-personal use, engaging in prohibited activities, and any breach of your representations and warranties, or if you file for bankruptcy, become insolvent, or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, among other events that constitute a material breach (such list is non-exhaustive and illustrative only).
- Post Termination Obligations. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, Glue will promptly terminate the Services. Glue will have no obligation to maintain or provide any Customer Content and may thereafter, unless legally prohibited, delete all Customer Content in its systems or otherwise in its possession or under its control. All other rights and obligations will be of no further force or effect. Termination will not relieve either party from any liability arising from any breach of this Agreement. Neither party will be liable to the other for damages of any kind solely as a result of terminating this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Furthermore, termination of this Agreement by a party will be without prejudice to any other right or remedy of a party under this Agreement or applicable law.
- Experience Cancellations and Reschedulings. Cancellations and reschedulings of standard Glue Experiences are governed by Glue’s event cancellation policy (“Cancellation Policy”) located on the Site at: https:/glue.co/event-cancellation-policy (https://about.trymystery.com/legal/event-cancellation-policy). If you cancel or reschedule your Glue Experience, you may be charged a cancellation fee and you may receive a partial refund of any amount already paid, depending on the terms set forth in the Cancellation Policy. Certain Glue Experiences may have unique cancellation and reschedule policies, which will be noted on the description of the event or otherwise communicated at the time of booking.

You assume full responsibility for the choices you make before, during and after your participation in Glue Experiences. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL RISKS, BOTH KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, OF PARTICIPATING IN EACH GLUE EXPERIENCE, INCLUDING EACH ACTIVITY IN YOUR GLUE EXPERIENCE, EVEN IF THOSE RISKS ARISE FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OR CARELESSNESS OF GLUE, THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS OR OTHERS, OR DEFECTS IN THE EQUIPMENT, PREMISES, OR FACILITIES USED DURING THE GLUE EXPERIENCE, OR OTHERWISE, AND YOU ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE GLUE EXPERIENCE. IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU AGREE TO WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE §1542, WHICH SAYS: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY." If you book a Glue Experience on behalf of other guests, you will ensure, and you represent and warrant, that each guest on whose behalf you book has read and agreed to this assumption of risk, release and waiver, which shall apply to each of them as if the reference to “you” was a reference to her/him.

- Limitations of Liability. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER GLUE NOR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE SERVICES OR THE GLUE EXPERIENCES WILL BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE OR SYSTEM FAILURE OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL OR BODILY INJURY OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH (I) THESE TERMS, (II) THE USE OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY ANY RELIANCE ON, OR ANY DELAYS, INACCURACIES, ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN, THE SERVICES, WHETHER PROVIDED BY GLUE OR BY THIRD PARTIES, (III) THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES FOR ANY REASON, (IV) YOUR COMMUNICATIONS, INTERACTIONS OR DEALINGS WITH, OR THE CONDUCT OF, THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS THAT PROVIDE THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY GLUE EXPERIENCE, OR (V) YOUR PARTICIPATION IN ANY GLUE EXPERIENCE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT GLUE HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT WILL GLUE’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS, YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, OR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN ANY GLUE EXPERIENCE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH PROVIDERS OF THIRD-PARTY SERVICES) EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID VIA THE GLUE PLATFORM OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY GLUE EXPERIENCE IN THE SIX (6) MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE ALLEGED LIABILITY, OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (U.S. $100.00), IF NO SUCH PAYMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE, AS APPLICABLE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, OR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN ANY GLUE EXPERIENCE MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE OR BE FOREVER BARRED. The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between Glue and you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so some of the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you.
- No Liability for Non-Glue Actions. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL GLUE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, GENERAL, SPECIAL, COMPENSATORY, CONSEQUENTIAL, AND/OR INCIDENTAL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE CONDUCT, ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF YOU OR ANY GUESTS ACCOMPANYING YOU ON GLUE EXPERIENCES, OR THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS THAT PROVIDE THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICES OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY, IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF THE SERVICES AND PARTICIPATION IN GLUE EXPERIENCES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, BODILY INJURY, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, AND/OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT GLUE HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY TO YOU RELATED TO ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU BY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so some of the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you.
- Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to release, defend (at Glue’s option), indemnify, and hold Glue and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorney and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (i) your breach of these Terms or any other applicable policies of Glue, (ii) your improper use of the Glue Platform or any of the Services, (iii) your participation in a Glue Experience, including without limitation any injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of your participation, or (iv) your breach of any laws, regulations or third-party rights. Glue may assume exclusive control of any defense of any matter subject to indemnification by you (which shall not excuse your obligation to indemnify Glue), and you agree to fully cooperate with Glue in such event. You shall not settle any dispute subject to your indemnification under this Agreement without prior written consent from Glue.
- Dispute Resolution.
- IMPORTANT: PLEASE REVIEW THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT SET FORTH BELOW CAREFULLY, AS IT WILL REQUIRE YOU TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH GLUE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND HAVE TAKEN TIME TO CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS IMPORTANT DECISION.
- AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. YOU AND GLUE MUTUALLY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS OR THE APPLICABILITY, BREACH, TERMINATION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT OR INTERPRETATION THEREOF, TO THE ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES, OR PARTICIPATION IN ANY GLUE EXPERIENCE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, REGULATION, ORDINANCE, TORT (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT, OR NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (COLLECTIVELY, “DISPUTE”) WILL BE SETTLED BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION (THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”). ARBITRATION MEANS THAT THE DISPUTE WILL BE RESOLVED BY A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY. THE ARBITRATOR WILL DECIDE ALL THRESHOLD QUESTIONS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ISSUES RELATING TO THE ENFORCEABILITY, REVOCABILITY, OR VALIDITY OF THIS SECTION AND WHETHER EITHER PARTY LACKS STANDING TO ASSERT HIS/HER/ITS CLAIM(S).
- Exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the Arbitration Agreement, you and Glue each agree that (i) any dispute that may be brought in small claims court may be instituted in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) either you or Glue may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin infringement or other misuse of either party’s intellectual property rights (including without limitation, violation of any data use restrictions contained in these Terms or other misuse of the Glue Content) or based on other exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack).
- Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and Glue each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact Glue’s customer service team by emailing us at support@glue.co. If, after a good faith effort to negotiate, one of us feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration.
- The Arbitration. Any arbitration, if required, will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its then current and applicable rules and procedures, which are located at www.adr.org (http://www.adr.org/), and those rules will govern the payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees unless this Section 16 expressly provides otherwise. The party submitting a dispute for resolution through arbitration, will pay AAA’s filing fee. Each party will pay their pro rata share of administration and arbitrator fees under AAA’s rules; provided, however, if AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules are applicable, Glue will make arrangements to pay all necessary administration and arbitrator fees directly to AAA. If AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules are applicable and you lose the claim(s) you assert against Glue, you agree to reimburse Glue for your pro rata share of administration and arbitrator fees as part of any arbitrator award; provided, however, if you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Glue will pay as much of the administration and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to litigation. If the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration are frivolous or that you asserted the claim(s) for harassment or any other improper purpose, you agree to reimburse Glue for all administration and arbitrator fees paid by Glue as part of any arbitration award. Each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees and costs unless there is an applicable statutory provision requiring the prevailing party to be paid its attorneys’ fees and costs, in which case, a prevailing party attorneys’ fees award shall be determined by applicable law. The arbitration shall be held in Seattle, Washington, in English before a single arbitrator selected in accordance with AAA rules. If the value of the relief sought is U.S. $25,000 or less, the arbitration will be conducted based solely on written submissions; provided, however, either party may request to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or in-person hearing, which request shall be subject to the arbitrator’s discretion. Attendance at any in-person hearing may be made by telephone or other remote means by you and/or us, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise after hearing from the parties on the issue. Keeping in mind that arbitration is intended to be a fast and economical process, either party may file a dispositive motion to narrow the issues or claims. Subject to the exclusions and waivers in these Terms, the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be made in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern any Dispute.
- No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. YOU AND GLUE ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING AS TO ALL DISPUTES. FURTHER, UNLESS YOU AND GLUE BOTH OTHERWISE AGREE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If the class action waiver contained in this Section is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Section will be unenforceable, and the Dispute will be decided by the courts in the state of Washington, King County, or the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.
- No Judge or Jury in Arbitration. Arbitration does not involve a judge or jury. You understand and agree that by entering into these Terms you and Glue are each giving up the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Provision, you and Glue 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). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. 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 or may also be waived.
- Severability. Except as provided elsewhere in these Terms, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect. If the arbitrator determines this Section is unenforceable, invalid or has been revoked as to any claim(s), then the Dispute as to such claim(s) will be decided by the courts in the state of Washington, King County, or the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.

You and we both consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in King County, Washington.
- No Waiver and Severability. Glue’s failure to enforce a provision of this Agreement is not a waiver of its right to do so later or to enforce any other provision. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under this Agreement will be without prejudice to its other remedies under this Agreement or otherwise permitted under law. Except as explicitly provided herein, if any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision will be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and such decision will not affect the enforceability of such provision under other circumstances, or of the remaining provisions hereof under all circumstances.
- Assignment. You may not assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement and your rights and obligations hereunder without Glue’s prior written consent. Glue may, without restriction, assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement and any rights and obligations hereunder, at its sole discretion.

- No Agency Relationship. No joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship exists between you and Glue as a result of this Agreement or your use of the Services and you may not make any representations on behalf of or bind Glue in any manner.
- Headings. The headings of the sections contained in these Terms are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision of the Terms.
