2. Registration Requirements. You must create an Account to access and use many features of the Swimply Platform. Registration is permitted only for legal entities, partnerships, and natural persons who are 18 years of age or older. By creating an Account, you represent and warrant that you are over the age of 18 and not a person or entity prohibited from using the Swimply Platform under Applicable Laws and Rules. You may register directly using the Swimply Platform or by any other official registration process provided by Swimply. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your Account information up to date. You may not register more than one Account or transfer your Account to someone else.
3. Account Credentials; Verification of Payment or Payout Method. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Account credentials and may not disclose your credentials to any third party. You are responsible and liable for activities conducted through your Account and must immediately notify Swimply if you suspect that your credentials have been lost, stolen, or your Account is otherwise compromised. If and as permitted by Applicable Laws and Rules, we may, but have no obligation to (i) ask you to provide identification or other information; (ii) undertake checks designed to help verify your identity or background; (iii) screen you against third-party databases or other sources and request reports from service providers; (iv) ask you to provide a form of government identification (e.g., driver's license or passport), your date of birth, your address, and other information; (v) require you to take steps to confirm ownership of your email address, Payment Method(s) or Payout Method(s); and (vi) obtain reports from public records of criminal convictions or sex offender registrations or their local equivalents.

We have no control over and do not guarantee (a) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Venues, (b) the truth or accuracy of any Host Content or any ratings or reviews posted by Members, or (c) the performance or conduct of any Host or Guest. We do not endorse any Host or Guest, even if a Venue is featured on the Swimply Platform or receives positive ratings or reviews. You should always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to communicate, interact with, and engage in any transaction with any Host or Guest. The Swimply Platform may also contain links to websites or resources offered by third parties ("Third-Party Resources"). Third-Party Resources may be subject to different terms and conditions and privacy practices. We are not responsible or liable for the availability or accuracy of any Third-Party Resources, or the content, products, or services available from any Third-Party Resources. Links to Third-Party Resources are not an endorsement by us of those Third-Party Resources.
6. Booking Modifications. Members are responsible for any booking modification they agree to make ("Booking Modification"). Members agree to pay any additional amounts, fees, or Taxes associated with any Booking Modification.

Specifically, you authorize Swimply to collect from you:
  Any amount due to Swimply (e.g., as a result of your Bookings, Booking Modifications, cancellations, or other actions as a Member), including reimbursement for costs prepaid by Swimply on your behalf.

Sections 5 to 8 are applicable only to Guests

Bookings (For Guests)
1. Reserving a Listing. When you book a Listing, you are agreeing to pay the Total Price and all charges associated with the Listing identified at checkout. A Booking is created when you receive a booking confirmation.

You may not exceed the maximum number of Guests allowed under your Booking. If you exceed the maximum number of guests the host may ask that you reduce your guest numbers to those booked or impose fees for the extra guests. If you or an additional Guest stays at a Venue past the Agreed Duration, the Host has the right to make you or the unauthorized guest leave in a manner consistent with Applicable Laws and Rules, including by imposing reasonable overstay penalties.
Booking Modifications, Cancellations, And Refunds (For Guests)
In general, if as a Guest you cancel a Booking, the amount refunded to you is determined by the cancellation policy pursuant to the Booking.
Guest Responsibilities And Assumption Of Risk
1. Your Responsibilities. As a Guest, you are responsible and liable for your own acts and omissions and the acts and omissions of any guests you invite to access a Venue under your Booking. You are responsible for leaving a Venue and other Host property in the condition it was in when you arrived and you are responsible for any loss, theft, or destruction of the Venue and surrounding equipment from any cause during the Booking period. You agree to act with integrity, treat others with respect, and comply with Applicable Laws and Rules and the terms of your Booking at all times. If you book for an additional guest who is a minor or if you bring a minor to a Venue, you must be legally authorized to act on behalf of the minor and you are solely responsible for the supervision of that minor.
2. Your Assumption of Risk. You acknowledge that many activities carry inherent risks and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws and Rules, you assume the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the Swimply Platform including any Content or Swimply Content, use of a Venue or any other Host offering, or any other interaction you have with Members or third parties, whether in person or online. You acknowledge that you are responsible for investigating a Host and a Venue to determine whether it suits you or additional Guests. For example, access to or use of a Venue may carry risk of illness, bodily injury, disability, or death, and you freely and willfully assume those risks by accessing or using a Venue. As a Guest you agree that neither Swimply, nor a Swimply Host, can be held liable if injury or death occurs to a Guest during a Swimply reservation if the Guest or a member of the Guest's party are injured or killed participating in a non-standard or misuse of any portion of the property or amenity, or are injured or killed participating in a voluntary sporting activity.
3. Alcoholic Beverages and Mood-Altering Substances. Guests are responsible for understanding and complying with Applicable Laws and Rules related to the consumption of alcoholic beverages or mood-altering substances at a Venue. No individual under age 21 may consume or possess alcohol at a Booking. No mood-altering substances may be consumed at a booking unless legalized by local and/or federal law and the Guest is of pertinent age. As a Guest you agree that neither Swimply, nor a Swimply host, can be held liable if injury or death occurs to a Guest during a Swimply reservation if the Guest or a member of the Guest's party was consuming alcohol or a mood-altering substance, or was under the influence of alcohol or a mood-altering substance at the time of the incident.
4. Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages. Guests may not bring any container, for a beverage or otherwise, containing or consisting of glass to a Venue. Guests may be permitted to bring their own food and beverages to a Venue depending on what is authorized pursuant to your Booking, but Guests may never bring their own cooking equipment (for example, a portable grill).
5. Pets. Except as permitted by Applicable Laws and Rules, you may not bring a pet to a Venue unless it is authorized under your Booking. You are fully responsible for any pet you bring to a Venue.
Guest Payment Terms
1. Payment Method Information. When you add a Payment Method to your Account, you will be asked to provide billing information such as name, billing address, and financial instrument information. You authorize Swimply and its payment service providers to collect and store your Payment Method information. You are responsible for (i) evaluating the practices of your Payment Method provider, and (ii) complying with any additional terms or conditions of a third-party payment service provider associated with your Payment Method. Swimply is not responsible for any loss suffered by you as a result of incorrect Payment Method information provided by you.
2. Automatic Update of Payment Information. If your Payment Method account information changes (e.g., account number, routing number, or expiration date), you agree to update your Payment Method immediately. If you fail to update any changes to your Payment Method, you agree that we may acquire that information from our financial services partners or your bank and automatically update your Payment Method on file.
3. Payment Method Verification. When you add or use a new Payment Method, you authorize Swimply to verify the Payment Method by (i) obtaining a pre-authorization via your Payment Method or (ii) charging your Payment Method a nominal amount.
4. Payment Authorization. You authorize Swimply or its payment service providers to charge your Payment Method (including charging more than one payment method), either directly or indirectly, for all fees due (including any applicable Taxes) in connection with your Account.
5. Timing of Payment. Swimply generally charges the Total Price due after the Host accepts your Booking request. However, if you pay with a push Payment Method, Swimply will collect the Total Price due at the time of your Booking request. If Swimply is unable to collect the Total Price due as scheduled, Swimply will collect the Total Price due and potentially additional fees pursuant to Section 4. Once the payment transaction for your Booking is successfully completed, you will receive a confirmation email summarizing your Booking.
6. Booking Request Status. If a requested booking is declined either because it is not accepted by the Host or you cancel the booking request before it is accepted by the Host, any amounts collected by Swimply will be refunded to you, and any pre-authorization of your Payment Method will be released (if applicable). The timing to receive the refund or for the pre-authorization to be released will vary based on the Payment Method and any applicable payment system rules.
7. Payment Restrictions. All fees related to Bookings including additional fees to Hosts and other charges must be made through the Swimply Platform. We reserve the right to decline or limit payments that we believe (i) may violate these Terms, (ii) are unauthorized, fraudulent or illegal, or (iii) expose you, Swimply, or others to risks unacceptable to Swimply.

Sections 9 to 13 are applicable only to Hosts

Listings And Bookings (For Hosts)
1. Creating and Managing your Listing. As a Host, you represent that you have all rights (without restrictions) and authority to list your Venue(s) for Booking on the Swimply Platform. Your Listing must include complete and accurate information about your Venue, your Venue Fee, other charges like cleaning fees, security deposits, or Taxes, and any rules or requirements that apply to Guests, your Listing, or your Venue. You are responsible for keeping your Listing information (including calendar availability) and Content up-to-date and accurate at all times. You are responsible for ensuring your Listing complies with Applicable Laws and Rules and does not conflict with the rights of a third party. When you create a Listing, you agree to list your Venue as available for rental exclusively on the Swimply Platform (i.e. you may not double book).
2. Accepting or Rejecting a Booking Request. A Member may request to book your Listing. If you do not accept or reject the request within a time period provided by the Swimply Platform (the “Booking Request Period”), the request will automatically expire and any fees collected from the Guest will be returned to the Guest. Swimply, in its sole discretion, may determine and modify the Booking Request Period from time to time.
3. Contracting with Guests. A Booking is created when you receive a booking confirmation. You are solely responsible for delivering your Venue and performing your obligations under your Booking. Except as otherwise provided by these Terms, you may not request that a Guest pay a higher price or additional fees after a Booking is created. The terms, policies, and conditions specified in your Listing form part of your agreement with the Guest along with the applicable portions of these Terms. Any terms, policies, or conditions that you include in your Listing must be (i) consistent with these Terms, and (ii) prominently disclosed.
4. Venue Availability. You agree to make your Venue available for the Agreed Duration.

This includes safety features such as, without limitation, hand rails, proper depth of water, and no-slip grips.
Booking Modifications And Cancellations (For Hosts)
1. Host Cancellations. In general, if as a Host you cancel a Booking, the amount refunded to the Guest is determined by the cancellation policy that applies to your Booking. But in some circumstances other policies apply and determine the amount refunded to the Guest. Because cancellations disrupt Guests’ plans and diminish confidence in the Swimply Platform, Hosts should act in good faith to fulfill all Bookings. If you cancel a Booking, the Swimply Cancellation Policy, linked here and incorporated into these Terms by reference, will apply and preempt any conflicting terms in the Booking.The consequences set forth in this section will not apply if you cancel a Booking due to unforeseen circumstances beyond your control that arise after the Booking was created and make it impracticable or illegal to provide your Venue under the Booking. Such circumstances include government-declared emergencies, government travel restrictions (not including non-binding travel advisories and similar government guidance), natural disasters, acts of God, large-scale outages of essential utilities, and the circumstances described in Section 10.2.
2. Cancellations for Inclement Weather. In certain circumstances, such as rain, thunder, lightning, hail, tornado, or other inclement weather posing danger to the safety of Guests, Hosts and Guests should cancel a Booking. Under such circumstances, Swimply will not assess a penalty due to the cancellation and will allow the Host to accommodate the reservation at a different date within one week, or as otherwise agreed between the Host and Guest, of the original Booking date.
Taxes (For Hosts)
1. Host Taxes. As a Host, you are responsible for determining and fulfilling your obligations under Applicable Laws and Rules to report, collect, remit, and include in your Listing all applicable Taxes.
2. Tax Information. In some jurisdictions, Applicable Laws and Rules may require that we collect or report tax information about you to appropriate entities, or withhold Taxes from payouts, or both. If you do not provide us with information that we determine to be sufficient to meet such requirements, we may withhold payouts up to the amount as required by Applicable Laws and Rules until sufficient information is provided. You agree that Swimply may issue on your behalf invoices or similar documentation for Taxes to facilitate accurate tax reporting by you or our Guests. Swimply is not responsible for reporting, collecting, or remitting Taxes unless it is required to do so by Applicable Laws and Rules.
Host Responsibilities And Assumption Of Risk
1. Your Legal Obligations. You represent and warrant that your Venue(s), Listing(s), and Booking(s) comply with Applicable Laws and Rules. You agree that you are responsible for understanding and complying with Applicable Laws and Rules that apply to your Venue, Listing, Booking and your interactions with Guests and third parties. For example and not by way of limitation, some municipalities restrict the use of pools or require that a Host obtain a license or permit to list or use their Venue or to invite guests. Information Swimply provides on the Platform regarding legal requirements is for informational purposes only, should not be viewed as legal advice, and you should independently confirm your obligations. You should seek independent legal advice if you have questions about Applicable Laws and Rules concerning your Listing, Venue, or any potential or actual Dispute you may have with a Guest.
2. Your Responsibilitie. You are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone you allow to participate in providing your Venue or otherwise performing under your Booking. You are responsible for setting your Venue Fee and establishing the additional terms or conditions of your Listing and Booking. You must describe any and all fees and charges in your Listing description and you may not collect any fees or charges for a Booking outside the Swimply Platform.
3. Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages. Hosts may provide access to prepackaged food and beverages such as water bottles, bags of chips, or soft drinks to Guests. Hosts may not offer or provide access to (i) prepared or homemade foods; or (ii) food and beverages in glass containers; or (iii) alcohol, mood-altering substance, tobacco, or other controlled substances. You must exercise reasonable diligence to ensure glass containers are not on Venue premises during a Booking. If you offer access to outdoor cooking equipment to a Guest in your Booking (for example, a grill), you warrant that the equipment is in excellent working condition, has been inspected in the last 30 days, and will not pose any threat to the Guest but for Guest’s own misuse. Furthermore, you must provide the Guest with instructions for safe and lawful use of the equipment either through the Swimply Platform or appropriate signage on premises.
4. Other On-Site Amenities. You may permit the use of additional amenities on your property (for example, a restroom). Such amenities include the use of a fire pit, fireplace, outdoor heater, or patio heater, however, Hosts are required to maintain all heating devices subject to the manufacturers specifications and must provide guests with user manuals for all heating devices. Certain high-hazard amenities, including but not limited to bounce houses, may not be offered to or used by a Guest.
5. Pets. Hosts are responsible for pets on the Venue premises and must ensure their pets are kept separate and away from Guests at all times during a Booking. You must specify in your Listing if a pet is on your Venue premises and acknowledge that the pet will be kept separate and away from Guests during the Booking.
6. Insurance. While Swimply may offer insurance or other guarantees and property damage protection for Hosts, we recommend that you obtain appropriate insurance for your Venue and suggest that you carefully review policy terms and conditions like coverage details and exclusions. Pursuant to Section 1.4, you understand and agree that Swimply does not act as an insurer. To see a full list and explanation of any policy limits, exceptions, what is covered and not covered for any Swimply insurance policy, other guarantees, or property damage protection, please go to this link here and check regularly for updates. You agree to cooperate with and assist Swimply in good faith, and to provide Swimply with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Swimply, with respect to any insurance, guarantee, or property damage related claim. Lack of cooperation could lead to an inability to aid you.
Host Payment Terms
1. Timing of Payment Collection. Swimply generally collects the Total Price when you accept a Guest’s booking request. However, if a Guest pays with a push Payment Method, Swimply will collect the Total Price at the time of the Booking request.
2. Payout. Your Payout for a Booking will equal the Total Price minus Service Fees and applicable Taxes. If a Booking is cancelled, Swimply will remit the amount you are due (if any) as provided in these Terms and applicable cancellation policy. Balances will be remitted by Swimply to a Host via the Payout Method selected by the Host, depending on the selections the Host makes via the Swimply Platform. Swimply may, in its sole discretion, round up or round down amounts payable from or to Guests and Hosts to the nearest whole dollar (e.g., $101.50 to $102.00, or $101.49 to $101.00).
3. Payout Restrictions. Swimply may temporarily place a hold, suspend, or cancel any Payout for a violation of these Terms of Service, or for purposes of preventing suspected or known unlawful activity or fraud, chargeback request, risk assessment, security, or completing an investigation, or if we are unable to verify your identity. If a Guest receives a refund after you have already been paid, or the amount of the refund and other costs incurred by Swimply exceeds your payout, Swimply may recover that amount from you, including by offsetting the refund against your future payouts. Swimply may also temporarily place a hold on, suspend, or delay initiating or processing any Payout due to you under these Terms as a result of a force majeure event (as defined in Section 23.8).
4. Limits on Payouts. For compliance or operational reasons, Swimply may limit the amount of a Payout. If you are due an amount above that limit, Swimply may make a series of Payouts (potentially over multiple days) in order to provide your full Payout amount.

Sections 14 to 25 are applicable to all Members

Disclaimer Of Warranties

For example: (i) we do not endorse or warrant the existence, conduct, performance, safety, quality, legality or suitability of any Guest, Host, Venue, Listing, Host offering, or third party, (ii) we do not warrant the performance or non-interruption of the Swimply Platform, and (iii) we do not warrant that verification, identity or background checks conducted on Listings or Members (if any) will identify past misconduct or prevent future misconduct.

The disclaimers in these Terms apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. If you have statutory rights or warranties we cannot disclaim, the duration of any such statutorily required rights or warranties will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Limitations On Liability
1. Neither Swimply (including its affiliates and personnel) nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Swimply Platform or any Content or Swimply Content will be liable for any incidental, special, 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 or inability to use the Swimply Platform or any Content or Swimply Content, (iii) any communications, interactions or meetings you may have with someone you interact or meet with through, or as a result of, your use of the Swimply Platform, or (iv) publishing or booking of a Listing, including the provision or use of a Venue, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not Swimply has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set out in these Terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose.
2. Except for our obligation to transmit payments to Hosts under these Terms, to the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will Swimply’s aggregate liability for any Dispute, exceed:
  to Guests, the amount you paid as a Guest during the 12-month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability;
  to Hosts, the amount paid to you as a Host in the 12-month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability; or
  to anyone else, one hundred U.S. dollars ($100.00).

Dispute Resolution; United States Governing Law and Venue
1. Governing Law/Venue. As between Swimply and you, these Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to the choice of law or conflicts of law provisions of any jurisdiction. Any arbitration proceedings will be governed by federal arbitration law and by the JAMS, Inc. (“JAMS”) rules. Except for Disputes specified in Section 22.3, both Swimply and you submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of California for enforcement of arbitral awards or for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief for the limited purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm.
2. Disputes Between Members. While Swimply may facilitate informal Dispute resolution between Members (e.g. Guests and Hosts), you agree that this Section 22 and any Dispute resolution provisions in these Terms including the Dispute Resolution Agreement are only applicable with regard to Disputes between you and Swimply. Disputes between Members must be handled directly between the Members without involving Swimply.
3. Binding Arbitration. Except for Disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, you and Swimply agree: (a) to waive your and Swimply's right to have any and all Disputes resolved in a court; and (b) to waive your and Swimply's right to a jury trial. Instead, you and Swimply agree to arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).
4. No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions. You and Swimply agree that Disputes are personal to you and Swimply, and that Disputes will be resolved solely through individual arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. You and Swimply agree that a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type or representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.
5. Federal Arbitration Act. You and Swimply agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of the Dispute Resolution Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced, both substantively and procedurally, by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”) to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws and Rules.
6. Process. You and Swimply agree that we will notify each other in writing of any Dispute within thirty (30) days of when it arises so that we can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to Swimply shall be sent by certified mail or courier to Swimply, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 420 N. Highland St., Arlington, VA 22201. Your notice must include: (a) your name and contact information; (b) a description of the nature or basis of the Dispute; and (c) the specific relief that you are seeking. If you and Swimply cannot agree to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days of Swimply receiving your notice, then either you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in court as appropriate pursuant to this Dispute Resolution Agreement. You and Swimply agree that any arbitration or claim must be commenced or filed within one (1) year after the Dispute arises; otherwise, you and Swimply agree that the claim is permanently barred (which means that you will no longer have the right to assert a claim regarding the dispute). You and Swimply agree that (1) any arbitration will occur in Los Angeles County, California (or in or near your hometown if the JAMS rules so require), which you may attend either in person or via videoconference or telephone; (2) arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of JAMS; and (3) the state or federal courts in Los Angeles County, California will have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award and over any Dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration; provided, however, that small claims courts in the jurisdiction in which you reside will have jurisdiction over small claims disputes.
7. Batch Arbitration. You and Swimply agree that, in the event that there are fifty or more individual requests for arbitration of a similar nature filed against Swimply within an approximately thirty-day period (or otherwise in close proximity), JAMS will administer all such similarly situated arbitration demands on a collective basis as a single, consolidated arbitration (subject to a single set of fees, proceeding schedule, and, if required, hearing) before a single arbitrator in accordance with the requirements outlined elsewhere in this section, provided that – in the event that the arbitrator deems it impracticable or inequitable to administer all such claims collectively in a single arbitration – (s)he may group demands for arbitration into groups of not fewer than twenty matters, plus a remainder group as needed (or as otherwise deemed by the arbitrator to be practicable, equitable, and in best keeping with the spirit of this provision) and arbitrate each group of matters as a single, consolidated arbitration (either structure a “Batch Arbitration”). You and Swimply agree (1) to work with JAMS in good faith to facilitate the resolution of Disputes on a Batch Arbitration basis and (2) that requests for arbitration are of a “similar nature” if they arise out of the same event, agreement, or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. Disagreements over the applicability of this Batch Arbitration process will be settled in a single, consolidated arbitration proceeding that includes all affected parties and is resolved by a single arbitrator subject to the requirements of this section. This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class or collective arbitration or action of any kind, or any suit or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims, under any circumstances other than those expressly set forth in this section.
8. Authority of Arbitrator. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator will have (i) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute and (ii) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual's claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
9. Rules of JAMS. The rules of JAMS and additional information about JAMS are available on the JAMS website. By agreeing to be bound by these Terms, you either (a) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or (b) waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
10. Severability. If any provision of this Dispute Resolution Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law and all other provisions will remain valid and enforceable. Further, the waivers set forth in subsection (b) of this Dispute Resolution Agreement are severable from the other provisions of these Terms and will remain valid and enforceable except as prohibited by Applicable Laws and Rules.
11. Changes/Opt-Out. You can terminate this agreement to arbitrate within 30 days of first becoming subject to this arbitration provision by providing Swimply with written notice to: Swimply, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 420 N. Highland St., Arlington, VA 22201. In order to be effective, the notice must include your full name, be received by Swimply at the required address within 30 days of first becoming subject to this arbitration provision and clearly indicate your intent to terminate this agreement to arbitrate. Your choice to terminate this agreement to arbitrate will not affect any other provision of these Terms. Notwithstanding the modification-related provisions in these Terms, if we revise the Dispute Resolution Agreement, you may reject any such change within thirty (30) days of the date such change becomes effective by providing Swimply with written notice to: Swimply, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 420 N. Highland St., Arlington, VA 22201. In order to be effective, the notice must include your full name, be received by Swimply at the required address within 30 days of the date such change becomes effective and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this Dispute Resolution Agreement. By rejecting changes, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with the last version of the Terms you accepted. Your choice to reject changes will not affect any other provision of these Terms.
