Terms of Use

Effective Date: April 1, 2021

This Terms of Use (this “Agreement” or the “Terms”) is agreed to between PING, Inc. (“PING”) and You, or if You represent an entity or other organization, that entity or organization (in either case, “You” or “Your”).

PING offers an online platform (the “Platform”) and makes the Platform available through PING’s website located at https://ping.com/ and any other websites operated by PING (each, a “Site”) and any mobile applications provided by and on behalf of PING (each, an “Application”). The Platform provides individual end users (“Users”) with the ability to access information, data, and content (“Content”), on a variety of topics, as well as additional services, functionality, and resources described on the Platform (“Services”). Finally, Users may be able to purchase PING “Products” on the Platform or elsewhere.

Together, the Sites and any Applications are treated as a part of the “Platform” for purposes of this Agreement, and the Platform and Services provided by PING, including its Products, are all governed exclusively by this Agreement unless a separate agreement has been entered into by You and PING. Unless You or Your organization have entered into a separate written agreement with PING regarding the Platform, this Agreement is the complete and exclusive agreement between You and PING regarding Your access to and use of the Platform, Content, and Services and Your purchase of Products.

THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WHICH LIMITS YOUR RIGHTS TO BRING AN ACTION IN COURT, BRING A CLASS ACTION, AND HAVE DISPUTES DECIDED BY A JUDGE OR JURY, AS WELL AS PROVISIONS THAT LIMIT OUR LIABILITY TO YOU.

PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE PLATFORM, CONTENT, OR SERVICES, OR BY CLICKING A BOX THAT STATES THAT YOU ACCEPT OR AGREE TO THESE TERMS, OR BY PURCHASING PRODUCTS, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR DO NOT MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS INCLUDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, PING IS NOT WILLING TO PROVIDE YOU WITH ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE PLATFORM, CONTENT, PRODUCTS, OR SERVICES, AND YOU MUST NOT ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM, CONTENT, OR SERVICES.

If the arbitrator finds this location to be unreasonably burdensome to you, a new location may be selected or arbitration may be conducted over the phone, using video conferencing, or similar. You may be entitled to an in-person hearing near your place of residence. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be conducted in accordance with the expedited procedures set forth in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures as those Rules exist on the effective date of this Agreement, including Rules 16.1 and 16.2 of those Rules.
    1. NO CLASS ACTIONS: YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both You and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
    2. Arbitration: Any arbitration will be administered by JAMS and conducted under The Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“JAMS Rules”) then in effect at the time of the dispute. You may obtain copies of the JAMS Rules and forms and instructions for initiating arbitration by visiting the JAMS website at www.jamsadr.com. If for any reason JAMS is unavailable, the parties shall mutually select another arbitration forum.  If You elect to seek arbitration or file a small claim court action, You must first send to us, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim (“Notice”). The Notice to us must be addressed to: PING, Inc., 2201 West Desert Cove Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85029. If we initiate arbitration, we will send a written Notice to an email address You have previously provided to us, if available. We may also use any other means to contact you, including a message in your Account. A Notice, whether sent by You or by us, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If You and we do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, You or us may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. Arbitration forms can be downloaded from www.jamsadr.com. If You are required to pay a filing fee, after we receive Notice that You have commenced arbitration, we will promptly reimburse You for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US$10,000 or the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous, in which event You will be responsible for filing fees.
    3. Hearing: If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, we agree that You may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic or video hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the JAMS Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the JAMS Rules. In the event that the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of submitted documents, the arbitrator’s decision and award will be made and delivered within six (6) months of the selection of the arbitrator, unless extended by the arbitrator. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules.
    4. AWARD: IN THE EVENT ARBITRATION AWARDS YOU DAMAGES OF AN AMOUNT AT LEAST $100 GREATER THAN OUR LAST DOCUMENTED SETTLEMENT OFFER WE WILL PAY YOUR AWARDED DAMAGES OR $2,500, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
    5. Injunctive Relief: Notwithstanding the foregoing, You and we both agree that You or we may sue in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights or in other scenarios where injunctive relief is appropriate. In the event a court or arbitrator having jurisdiction finds any portion of this Agreement unenforceable, that portion shall not be effective and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain effective. No waiver, express or implied, by either party of any breach of or default under this Agreement will constitute a continuing waiver of such breach or default or be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.
    6. Arbitration Confidentiality: The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the Award, including the hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
    7. Arbitration: Governing Law and Rules: As noted above in Section 25, this Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Arizona, exclusive of conflict or choice of law rules. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the provision in the preceding paragraph with respect to applicable substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Secs. 1-16). In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrator is not empowered to award punitive or exemplary damages, except where permitted by statute, and the parties waive any right to recover any such damages. In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrator may not award any incidental, indirect or consequential damages, including damages for lost profits. The parties adopt and agree to implement the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedure (as it exists on the effective date of this Agreement) with respect to any final award in an arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement.
