Your Access and Use of UBL Services

You are entitled to access and use UBL Services only for lawful purposes and only pursuant to our Terms and Conditions. Your right to access and use UBL Services is personal to you and is not transferable by you to any other person or entity. Unless explicitly permitted by us in writing, you may not assign, transfer, re-market, resell or otherwise dispose of, UBL Services (including our products) without obtaining our prior written consent, which may be withheld in our sole discretion. 

Your access and use of UBL Services may be interrupted from time to time for any of several reasons, including the malfunction of equipment, periodic updating, maintenance or repair of such UBL Services or other actions that we may, in our sole discretion, elect to take. From time to time, we may suspend or discontinue, or otherwise restrict access by any user to, any UBL Service or any portion or feature of any UBL Service at any time, in our sole discretion and without prior notice to you. We will not be liable if, for any reason, any UBL Service or any portion or feature of any UBL Service is unavailable at any time or for any period.

Access to the Internet: Salons by JC locations are individually owned and operated businesses. Therefore, franchise centers may provide access to Internet systems with different terms and conditions, and which may be provided “with or without a charge.” Those terms and conditions will apply and control to your access of such systems.

To the extent made available, you may have access to wireless high-speed Internet made available by UBL (the “Wi-Fi System”), which is provided “free of charge” as a courtesy to you, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. You acknowledge that the ability to provide free access to the Wi-Fi System is based on the indemnifications, lack of warranty, limitation of liability and other terms specified in our Terms and Conditions, and it would require a substantial charge if any of these provisions were unenforceable. 

We are not responsible for screening or restricting access to any content placed on or accessible through the Internet. We are also not responsible for screening or restricting communications between parties via the Internet. You acknowledge that, if you access the Internet, you may receive or be exposed to content, goods or services which you consider to be improper, inaccurate, misleading, defamatory, obscene or otherwise offensive. You agree that we are not responsible or liable for any action or inaction with respect to any content on the Internet accessible through the Wi-Fi System whatsoever. We may, in our sole discretion, monitor your activity while you use the Wi-Fi System and keep a log of the Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses of any devices which access the Wi-Fi System, the times when they have accessed the Wi-Fi System and the activity associated with that IP address.

Reservations. In connection with UBL Services, you may make only legitimate reservations in good faith for use only by you or others on whose behalf you are authorized to act, and not for other purposes, including reselling, impermissibly assigning or posting on third-party websites, making speculative, false or fraudulent reservations, or any reservations in anticipation of demand. We may, in our sole discretion, cancel or modify reservations for any reason, including any breach of our Terms and Conditions, where it appears that you engaged in fraudulent or inappropriate activity, or under other circumstances where it appears that the reservations contain or resulted from a mistake or error, even if such mistake or error is ours.

You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless us and our officers, directors, members, managers, shareholders, employees, independent contractors, agents and representatives from and against all claims and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or attributable to: (i) your breach or violation of our Terms and Conditions; (ii) your failure to provide accurate, complete and current information requested or required by us; (iii) your impermissible or unauthorized access or use of any UBL Service or the Content; (iv) access or use of any UBL Service under any password that may be issued to you; (v) your transmissions, submissions or postings (for example, your own User Generated Content); or (vi) any personal injury, property damage or emotional distress caused by you.

Our Remedies

You acknowledge that we may be irreparably damaged if our Terms and Conditions are not specifically enforced, and damages at law would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of our Terms and Conditions by you, we will be entitled, in addition to all rights and remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post an injunction bond, or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of our Terms and Conditions. For purposes of this “Our Remedies” section, you agree that any action or proceeding with regard to such injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach will be brought in the courts of record of Travis County, Texas, or the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas. You consent to the jurisdiction of such court and waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such court. Service of any court paper may be affected on such party by mail or in such other manner as may be provided under applicable laws, regulations, rules of procedure or local rules.

Legal Disputes

 You and we agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise between us relating in any way to or arising out of our Terms and Conditions or your use of or access to UBL Services will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this “Legal Disputes” section. Please read this “Legal Disputes” section carefully. It affects your rights and will have a substantial impact on how claims you and we have against each other are resolved.

Applicable Law

These Terms and Conditions are to be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Texas, without regard for principles of conflicts of laws. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.

You agree that: (i) each UBL Service will be deemed solely based in the State of Texas; and (ii) each UBL Service will be deemed a passive UBL Service that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us and our assigns, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than the State of Texas.

Agreement to Arbitrate

Any civil action, claim, dispute or proceeding arising out of or relating to this or any previous version of our Terms and Conditions, your use of or access to any UBL Service or any products or services sold, offered or purchased on or through any UBL Service, except for an injunctive action regarding a breach or threatened breach of any provision of our Terms and Conditions by you as provided above, will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, before a single arbitrator, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this “Agreement to Arbitrate” section (this “Agreement to Arbitrate”).

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. An arbitrator should apply the terms of our Terms and Conditions as a court would. 

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement to Arbitrate, any part of it, or of our Terms and Conditions, including any claim that all or any part of the Agreement to Arbitrate or our Terms and Conditions is void or voidable. 

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in Travis County, Texas, under the AAA’s rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA’s site at http://www.adr.org. 

You and we will select the arbitrator, and if you and we are unable to reach agreement on selection of the arbitrator within 30 days after the notice of arbitration is served, then the AAA will select the arbitrator. Arbitration will not commence until the party requesting arbitration has deposited U.S. $1,000 with the arbitrator for the arbitrator’s fees and costs. The party requesting arbitration will advance such sums as are required from time to time by the arbitrator to pay the arbitrator’s fees and costs until the prevailing party is determined or the parties have agreed in writing to an alternate allocation of fees and costs. 

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator will not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving our other users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same user to the extent required by applicable law. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator is final, binding and conclusive upon you and us and your and our respective administrators, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns, and may only be entered in the state or federal courts of record for Travis County, Texas. 

Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief

YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS PART OF ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS. 

THEREFORE, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS AND YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING CLASS ACTIONS. BY USING ANY UBL SERVICE, YOU CONSENT TO THESE RESTRICTIONS.

Judicial Forum for Legal Disputes

Unless you and we agree otherwise, in the event that the Agreement to Arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and us must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Travis County, Texas. You and we will submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Travis County, Texas for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.  

Other Terms and Conditions

Other terms and conditions may apply to certain aspects of UBL Services, such as rules for a particular contest or other activity related to UBL Services or terms that accompany certain (i) software or content within, (ii) purchases made on or through, or (iii) other use of, UBL Services (“Other Terms”). You will have access to such Other Terms in connection with such contest, activity, content, purchase or use of UBL Services, and such Other Terms are expressly incorporated by reference into our Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to such Other Terms, you should not use any UBL Service or make purchases on or through any UBL Service. To the extent that such Other Terms conflict with our Terms and Conditions, such Other Terms will apply and control.

FROM TIME TO TIME, YOU MAY HAVE SIGNED OR OTHERWISE AGREED TO OTHER AGREEMENTS WITH US. FOR EXAMPLE, OUR FRANCHISEES AND AREA REPRESENTATIVES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE PRINCIPALS, SIGN FRANCHISE AND AREA REPRESENTATIVE AGREEMENTS AND AGREEMENTS RELATED THERETO. THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE NOT INTENDED TO ADDRESS YOUR AND OUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER ANY OF THOSE SEPARATE AGREEMENTS. IF THERE IS A CONFLICT BETWEEN THOSE AGREEMENTS AND THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, THOSE AGREEMENTS WILL PREVAIL.

Miscellaneous

If any provision of our Terms and Conditions is contrary to, prohibited by or deemed invalid under applicable law, such provision will be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder of our Terms and Conditions will not be invalidated thereby and will be given full force and effect so far as possible. If any provision of our Terms and Conditions may be construed in two or more ways, one of which would render the provision invalid or otherwise voidable or unenforceable and another of which would render the provision valid and enforceable, such provision will have the meaning that renders it valid and enforceable.

For purposes of our Terms and Conditions, the words “include,” “includes” and “including” are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; and the word “or” is not exclusive. The headings contained in our Terms and Conditions are for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of our Terms and Conditions, and will not limit or otherwise affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of our Terms and Conditions.

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in our Terms and Conditions, as may be amended by us, from time to time, will survive your acceptance of our Terms and Conditions and the termination of our Terms and Conditions.

No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or any power set forth in our Terms and Conditions by us will operate as a waiver of such right or power, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or power under our Terms and Conditions by us preclude further exercise of that or any other right or power under our Terms and Conditions. 

We may update, amend or change our Terms and Conditions at any time, in our sole discretion and without notice. Amendments will take effect immediately upon us posting such updates on UBL Services. We encourage you to periodically check our Terms and Conditions for changes, as your continued access and use of any UBL Service following the posting of any changes will automatically be deemed your acceptance of all changes. If you do not agree to any change to these terms and conditions, you must discontinue using UBL Services. These Terms and Conditions replace all previous notices or statements with respect to this subject and cannot be modified orally or in writing by any of our associates, representatives, franchisees or any other third parties (including any guest service associates).

We may give, assign or transfer our rights or obligations under our Terms and Conditions to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not give, assign or transfer your rights or obligations under our Terms and Conditions to any person or entity without our prior written consent, which may be withheld in our sole discretion. Any attempt to assign your rights or obligations under our Terms and Conditions without our consent will be void.

We will not be liable for any changes, delays, failures or problems out of our control, including any changes, delays, failures or problems caused by natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, network infrastructure failures, strikes, shortage of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials and other similar events.

You and we are independent contractors, and no agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by our Terms and Conditions.

These Terms and Conditions (together, with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference, including all of the Other Terms and incorporated terms) represents the entire understanding and agreement between you and us regarding the subject matter of our Terms and Conditions, and supersede all other previous agreements, understandings or representations regarding our Terms and Conditions.
