4.1 Price
SessionKeeper reserves the right to determine pricing for the Service. SessionKeeper will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information published on the website up to date. We encourage you to check our website periodically for current pricing information. SessionKeeper may change the fees for any feature of the Service, including additional fees or charges, if SessionKeeper gives you advance notice of changes before they apply.

4.2 Authorization
You authorize SessionKeeper and its third party payment processors to charge all sums for the orders that you make and any level of Service you select as described in these Terms or published by SessionKeeper, including all applicable taxes, to the payment method specified in your account.

4.3 Subscription Service
a. **General.** The Service may include automatically recurring payments for periodic charges ("Subscription Service"). If you activate a Subscription Service, you authorize SessionKeeper or its third party payment processors or Apple or Google if you subscribed directly through the mobile application to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of either the recurring payments or your account, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date for the accrued sums, including all accrued sums for your Authorized Users. The "Subscription Billing Date" is the date when you purchase your first subscription to the Service. Your account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date all applicable fees and taxes for the next subscription period, which may be one month or one year depending on the selection you make on your account. The subscription will continue unless and until you cancel your subscription, or we terminate it. You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fee to your account.
b. **Renewals.** Unless you cancel your Subscription Service, your Subscription Service will automatically renew at the end of the applicable subscription period. If the Subscription Service is cancelled, cancellation will be effective at the end of the current subscription period.

Any increase in charges will not apply until the renewal of your subscription, and you will be provided with advance notice of such increase.

SessionKeeper reserves all rights to the Materials not granted expressly in these Terms.

Certain features of the Service may permit users to upload content to the Service, including voice and audio recordings, images, notes, text, creative content, software, scripts, graphics, and interactive features generated, provided, or otherwise made accessible on or through the Service ("User Content").

9.3 Voice Recordings
The Service may provide a feature that allows you to record role-playing game sessions. Voice recordings may be started by any player (including the game session leader or DM) within a campaign. However, the app will provide clear visual and audio indicators that recording has started and is in progress. All players within the campaign who have the app installed will have the opportunity to opt out of having their voice print leveraged in the recording and transcription for speaker identification. If a player opts out, the voice print technology will exclude their voice print from the speaker identification. If any player in the campaign does not have the app installed, the person who starts the recording must verbally confirm they have the consent of all participants to record the session. By using the voice recording features, you represent that you have obtained the consent of all recorded parties or that you otherwise have the right to record and use the voice recording in accordance with these Terms. SessionKeeper uses voiceprint technology for speaker identification only for users who have explicitly opted in to this feature.

SessionKeeper may, however, at any time and without prior notice, screen, remove, edit, or block any User Content that in our sole judgment violates these Terms or is otherwise objectionable. You understand that when using the Service you will be exposed to User Content from a variety of sources and acknowledge that User Content may be inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable. You agree to waive, and do waive, any legal or equitable right or remedy you have or may have against SessionKeeper with respect to User Content.

You acknowledge and agree that except as described in these Terms, any User Content, data, recordings, and information you enter into or upload to the Service or that we collect in connection with the Service ("Data") will be processed as described in the SessionKeeper Privacy Policy. Please read the Privacy Policy carefully.

19. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
19.1 Generally
In the interest of resolving disputes between you and SessionKeeper in the most expedient and cost effective manner, and except as described in Section 19.2 and 19.3, you and SessionKeeper agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND SESSIONKEEPER ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

19.2 Exceptions
Despite the provisions of Section 19.1, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

19.3 Opt-Out
If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 19 within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to SessionKeeper LLC, Attention: Legal Department - Arbitration Opt-Out, 7627 Lake Street, Suite 206, #1159, River Forest, IL 60305 that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration ("Opt-Out Notice"). Once SessionKeeper receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 19 will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 20.2. The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.

19.4 Arbitrator
Any arbitration between you and SessionKeeper will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, "AAA Rules") as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting SessionKeeper. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.

19.5 Notice of Arbitration; Process
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail ("Notice of Arbitration"). SessionKeeper's address for Notice is: SessionKeeper LLC, 7627 Lake Street, Suite 206, #1159, River Forest, IL 60305. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or SessionKeeper may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or SessionKeeper must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by SessionKeeper in settlement of the dispute prior to the award, SessionKeeper will pay to you the higher of: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator; or (ii) $10,000.

19.6 Fees
If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, SessionKeeper will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Illinois, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse SessionKeeper for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.

19.7 No Class Actions
YOU AND SESSIONKEEPER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and SessionKeeper agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

19.8 Modifications to this Arbitration Provision
If SessionKeeper makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to SessionKeeper's address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to SessionKeeper's address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with SessionKeeper will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected, will survive.

19.9 Enforceability
If Section 19.7 or the entirety of this Section 19 is found to be unenforceable, or if SessionKeeper receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 19 will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 20.2 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.

20. Miscellaneous
20.1 General Terms
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and SessionKeeper regarding your use of the Service. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. Throughout these Terms, the use of the word "including" means "including but not limited to". If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.

20.2 Governing Law
