Plans

Ceed provides Usage Plans that grant you access to our network of suites to conduct business privately without sacrificing lifestyle on-demand. Our Usage Plans, including details, are available at: https://www.ceed.house/plans. Prices are not free of errors and subject to change without notice on Ceed House. If any errors are discovered, whether graphical or typographical in nature, Ceed reserves the right to revoke any stated offer to correct all inaccuracies on Ceed House.

Plan Purchases, Downgrades & Upgrades

Ceed Usage Plans starts when Ceed settles your payment and continues for a period of thirty (30) consecutive calendar days (“Subscription”). At the end of your Subscription period, you will automatically be billed for an additional Subscription term. If you purchase a Ceed Usage Plan and choose to downgrade or upgrade during you Subscription period, the changes will not be effective until the next Subscription term. Please note, Ceed Usage Plan prices are subject to change and take effect on your next Subscription renewal.

Plan Cancellations & Refunds

Effective August 1, 2018, Ceed Usage Plans are cancelable but non-refundable. All orders placed through Ceed House for any Ceed Usage Plans are subject to Ceed's acceptance. This means that Ceed may refuse to process or cancel any order, whether or not the order has been confirmed, for any or no reason, and without liability to you or anyone else. If your credit card has been charged for an order that is later cancelled, Ceed will issue you a refund. If you allow your Subscription to lapse, you will no longer have access to Ceed’s Products and/or Services, including our Usage Plans. Please note, an Internet connection is required to manage our Usage Plans on a subscription basis. Without an Internet connection, your Ceed Usage Plan may be unusable. If for any reason you are not happy with your Ceed Usage Plan, you can terminate your Account and/or cancel your Subscription at any time but no credits and/or refunds will be paid on any remaining minutes, including rollover minutes. If you wish to terminate your Account or cancel your Subscription, including disabling any auto-renew features, you can login to your Account to make these changes prior to the end of your Subscription term.

Plan Rollovers

Effective August 1, 2018, all rollover minutes accrued on your Ceed Usage Plan are determined based on a pro-rata figure and converted against a conversion schedule for downgrades and/or upgrades as deemed by Ceed. All rollover minutes accrued on your Ceed Usage Plan will be voided if they are unused following the twelve (12) month anniversary of issuance. All rollover minutes can only be used on Ceed House only at this time. All rollover minutes are not refundable or non redeemable for cash and non-transferable to any other Account and/or Subscription.

Plan Trials

Effective August 1, 2018, Ceed offers limited use Usage Plans (“Trial Offer”) for a period of one (1) to three (3) months from the moment that you activate a trial period by paying the advertised price ( “Trial Period”). If you decide that you do not want to remain a paying user at the end of your Trial Period, you must cancel your Subscription by logging into your Account. Otherwise, at the end of your Trial Period, you will automatically become a paid Ceed subscriber at the individual level, and the payment method you provided will automatically be charged for the Ceed Usage Plan on a monthly basis. There are no credits or refunds for a Trial Offer unless you haven’t activated or used your plan after ninety (90) days of purchase. You may only use the Trial Offer once. If you have participated in a Trial Offer previously offered by Ceed or subscribed to an existing Ceed Usage Plan, you may be ineligible to participate in the Trial Offer. A limited number of introductory Trial Offers are available while supplies last. Trial Offers must be redeemed before the advertised expiration date if specified. Ceed reserves the right to terminate all Trial Offers at any time and for any reason.

Plan Taxes

Effective August 1, 2018, Ceed is required by law to collect sales and/or use taxes in the United States and United States Territories (collectively, “UST”). For UST’s imposing sales or use taxes, your purchase may be subject to use tax unless it is specifically exempt from taxation. Your purchase is not exempt merely because it is made over the Internet. Many states require purchasers to file a sales/use tax return at the end of the year reporting all of the taxable purchases that were not taxed and to pay tax on those purchases. You may have a tax obligation in states where Ceed does not collect sales tax. Details of how to report these taxes may be found at the websites of your respective taxing authorities.

Plan Payments

To make purchases on Ceed House, you must submit credit card information. You warrant to Ceed that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. You will promptly update your Account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur to maintain your Subscription, including Ceed Usage Plans. You authorize Ceed to use credit card information submitted by you or updated credit card information submitted by your credit card company directly to Ceed. If you dispute any charges, you must inform Ceed within thirty (30) days upon receipt of Ceed's invoice. Ceed reserves the right to change its Usage Plan prices or Usage Plan overage fees, including rollover minutes usage at any time. Your continued use of your Account or Subscription, including Ceed Usage Plans, after any price or fee changes constitutes your acceptance to pay the changed amount. Ceed may, from time to time, partner with certain third-party payment processors or services (collectively, "Payment Services") to make the payment process more streamlined. If you choose to use these Payment Services, you authorize Ceed to receive and/or store the payment information associated with your use of such Payment Services and to use such payment information in connection with the management of your Account and/or Subscription, including Ceed Usage Plans.

Plan Management

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account. All activities occurring in your Account and all access to and/or use of your Ceed Usage Plan are your responsibility, whether or not such activities and/or access are actually authorized by you, including but not limited to all communications, transactions and obligations. You agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account and password. Ceed shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage arising from any unauthorized use, access or any other breach of security of your Account, including but not limited to your member sign-in password and email address. You acknowledge and accept that your use of the Ceed House is in compliance with these Service Terms. You further acknowledge and accept that Ceed shall have no obligation to investigate the authorization or source of any Account activity, including purchase activity following a proper log-in to Ceed House, which is defined as a matching and current member sign-in and user password. You shall notify Ceed immediately of any unauthorized access to your Account. You agree that Ceed may, without prior notice, immediately terminate, limit your access to or suspend your Account based on any of the following: (a) breach or violation of these Service Terms; (b) upon request by law enforcement; (c) unforeseeable technical or security issues or problems; (d) extended periods of inactivity; or (e) fraudulent, deceptive or illegal activity, or any other activity which Ceed believes is harmful to its business interests; or (f) for no reason. You agree that any termination, limitation of access and/or suspension shall be made in Ceed's sole discretion and that Ceed shall not be liable to you or any third party for the termination, limitation of access and/or suspension of your Account, including your Subscription or Ceed Usage Plans.

We will communicate with you by e-mail or by posting notices on Ceed House. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

Limitation of Liability

CEED MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ITS PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES, INCLUDING USAGE PLANS OR ROLLOVER USAGE INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN THE EVENT THAT OUR PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES, INCLUDING USAGE PLANS OR ROLLOVER USAGE IS NON-FUNCTIONAL, YOUR SOLE REMEDY, AND OUR SOLE LIABILITY, SHALL BE THE REPLACEMENT OF SUCH PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES, INCLUDING USAGE PLANS OR ROLLOVER USAGE. CERTAIN STATE LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OR CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold Ceed and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents and employees harmless from any and all liabilities, actions, claims, damages, demands, losses, obligations, judgments, proceedings, suits, expenses and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees), based upon, arising from or related to (a) information or content submitted, transmitted or otherwise made available on or through Ceed House by you or any other person using your Account; (b) the use of, or connection to, Ceed’s Usage Plan by you or any other person accessing Ceed House using your Account (including negligent or wrongful conduct); or (c) your breach or attempted breach of these Service Terms.

Governing Law

You agree that your use of Ceed’s Products and/or Services, including Ceed’s Usage Plans, and any purchases made through Ceed House thereof, and any claim or dispute arising out of or relating in any way to your Subscription, the management of your Account or purchases made through Ceed House, shall be governed by the laws of your home state of residence without respect to its choice (or conflict) of laws rules. Any claim or cause of action you may have with respect to Ceed must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arose.

Jurisdiction

You agree that the jurisdiction and venue for any dispute shall be in Manhattan County, State of New York. Each party submits to personal jurisdiction and venue in that forum for any and all purposes.

Pre-Arbitration Agreement

Except to the limited extent noted below, you agree your use of Ceed’s Products and/or Services, including our Usage Plans, the management of your Subscription through your Account or purchases made on Ceed House, and any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the aforementioned above, shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration between you and Ceed. In addition, you agree that the arbitration shall take place in Manhattan Country, New York in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Consumer-Related Disputes Supplementary Procedures of the American Arbitration Association. Unless the arbitrator requests a hearing, the parties will submit their arguments and evidence to the arbitrator in writing. The arbitrator will make an award based only on the documents (“Desk Arbitration”). If any party makes a written request for a hearing within ten (10) days after the American Arbitration Association acknowledges receipt of a claimant's demand for arbitration (or the arbitrator requests a hearing), the parties shall participate in a telephone hearing. In no event shall the parties be required to travel to Manhattan Country, New York to participate in the arbitration. If you decide to commence arbitration, the provider will require to you to pay a filing fee (which currently is $125 for claims under $10,000). If your filing fee is more than $125, Ceed will reimburse you for any excess fee promptly after it receives notice of your arbitration. If the arbitrator ultimately rules in your favor, Ceed will also reimburse you for the $125 base filing fee. If the arbitrator rules in your favor in any respect on the merits of your claim and issues you an award that is greater than the value of Ceed's last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or greater than zero if no offer was made), then Ceed will pay you the amount of the award or $350, whichever is greater (in addition to reimbursing you for the base filing fee). This arbitration agreement is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and is enforceable pursuant to its terms on a self-executing basis. Either party may seek enforcement of this provision in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall determine any and all challenges to the arbitrability of a claim. The arbitral award shall be judicially enforceable. Any court of competent jurisdiction may, and upon request shall, enter judgment on the arbitral award. Either party may seek confirmation (judgment on the award) and/or enforcement in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding any provision in the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Consumer-Related Disputes Supplementary Procedures to the contrary, and with the exception of Desk Arbitrations, the Federal Rules of Evidence shall govern the admissibility of evidence in any arbitral proceeding. You agree to waive your rights to bring any claim covered by this dispute resolution provision as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action, or to participate in a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action regarding any claim covered by this dispute resolution provision brought by anyone else. Notwithstanding any provision in the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Consumer-Related Disputes Supplementary Procedures to the contrary, the arbitrator shall not have the authority or any jurisdiction to hear the arbitration as a class, consolidated, representative, or private attorney general action or to consolidate, join, or otherwise combine the claims of different persons into one proceeding. If a proposed class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action arbitration is initiated notwithstanding the above prohibition and it is finally determined by the arbitrator (or a court of competent jurisdiction) that the waiver specified herein is not enforceable, then the arbitration proceedings shall be bifurcated as follows and notwithstanding any provision in the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Consumer-Related Disputes Supplementary Procedures to the contrary: 1. The issue of arbitrability shall be determined by the Arbitrator pursuant to the applicable rules and substantive law. 2. Assuming the Arbitrator concludes that the arbitration may proceed, said arbitration shall be stayed, and the issue of whether to certify any alleged or putative class for a class action (or other representative) proceeding shall be presented to and decided by a court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall not have authority or jurisdiction to decide class certification (or any similar representative action) issues. The decision to certify or not certify a class action (or to otherwise permit the action to proceed on a representative basis) shall be appealable in the judicial proceedings consistent with the rules and law governing the appeals of interlocutory decisions or class certification (or similar) rulings specifically, if appropriate. 3. Once any issues regarding class certification (and/or similar representative requirements) have been finally decided by the court, the arbitrator will have authority to decide the substantive claims on an individual or a class (or other representative) basis, as may be determined and directed by the court.

Appeal Rights

You agree that the arbitrator(s) shall not have the power to commit errors of law or legal reasoning, make clearly erroneous factual findings, or abuse his or her discretion, and the award may be vacated or corrected on appeal to a court of competent jurisdiction for any such error.

Class Action Waiver

You agree to waive your rights to bring any claim or dispute arising out of or relating in any way to your use of Ceed’s Products and/or Services, including our Usage Plans, the management of your Subscription through your Account or purchases made on Ceed House, as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action, or to participate in a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action regarding any such claim brought by anyone else. (This waiver and the similar waiver specified for arbitration proceedings are generally referred to herein as "the class action waiver.")

Opting Out Of Dispute Resolution And/Or Class Action Waiver

You may elect to opt out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding arbitration procedure and the class action waiver specified in these Service Terms by doing the following: Within fifteen (15) days of setting up your Account and purchasing your Ceed Usage Plan, you must send a letter to Ceed, Inc., c/o Legal Department, that specifies (1) your name, (2) your account number or account name, (3) your mailing address, and (4) your request to be excluded from the final, binding arbitration procedure and class action waiver specified in these Service Terms. All other terms and conditions shall continue to apply to your Account, including the requirement to participate in pre-dispute mediation. Notwithstanding any provision in these Service Terms to the contrary, we agree that, if Ceed makes any future change to the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions (other than a change to Ceed's address), you may reject any such change by sending a letter to Ceed within fifteen (15) days of the change. By rejecting any future change, you agree to arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this provision. Your letter must be postmarked by the applicable fifteen (15) day deadline to be effective. You are not required to send the letter by confirmed mail or return receipt requested, but it is recommended that you do so. Your request to be excluded will only be effective and enforceable if you can prove that the request was postmarked within the applicable fifteen (15) day deadline.
