‍
Fees: Playbook automatically charges a fee based on a client’s membership. For Playbook Plus clients, Playbook charges either (i) a fixed monthly fee of $59, or (ii) a fixed annual fee of $348, to every client with an active Playbook membership account (the "Membership Fee"). For Playbook Essential clients, Playbook charges either (i) a fixed monthly fee of $9, or (ii) a fixed annual fee of $96. To activate their Playbook membership, clients are required to have an active credit card linked to their account to pay the Membership Fee. Clients select either monthly or annual billing, in addition to their membership level, when they activate their Playbook membership. Regardless of whether monthly or annual billing is selected, the Membership Fee will not be prorated for clients that cancel their membership before the end of the billing cycle they have selected. The annual option will result in a lower Membership Fee for clients that maintain an active membership for at least six months.

The Membership Fee is charged in advance to the credit card linked to the account in the client’s profile – either monthly or annually as selected by the client. The initial Membership Fee is charged on the day the client activates their Playbook membership account on the platform, and then, for clients who have selected monthly billing, on the same day each month thereafter, but no later than the 28th of each month. Clients who elect to pay as an annual fee will be charged the initial Membership Fee on the day the client activates their Playbook membership account on the platform, and then on the same day each year thereafter, but no later than the 28th of the anniversary month each year. Playbook will not charge any clients interest on the Membership Fee, but may suspend service if the Membership Fee is not collected within 60 days. Regardless of whether monthly or annual billing is selected, clients who cancel their membership during any calendar month will not be charged a prorated Membership Fee. Playbook may reduce, or waive the Membership Fees for the accounts of some clients without notice to, or fee adjustment for, other clients.

We reserve the right to change the Membership Fee. If Playbook does change the Membership Fee, Playbook will provide notice of the change on the Site or in email to you, at Playbook’s option, at least 30 days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the Membership Fee change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount.  You shall be responsible for all taxes associated with the Service other than U.S. taxes based on Playbook’s net income.

Third Party Distribution Channels

‍Playbook offers Software applications that may be made available through the Apple App Store, the Google Play Store or other distribution channels (“Distribution Channels”).  If you obtain such Software through a Distribution Channel, you may be subject to additional terms of the Distribution Channel.  These Terms of Service are between you and us only, and not with the Distribution Channel. To the extent that you utilize any other third party products and services in connection with your use of our Service, you agree to comply with all applicable terms of any agreement for such third party products and services.

With respect to Software that is made available for your use in connection with an Apple-branded product (such Software, “Apple-Enabled Software”), in addition to the other terms and conditions set forth in these Terms of Service, the following terms and conditions apply:

Playbook and you acknowledge that these Terms of Service are concluded between Playbook and you only, and not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”), and that as between Playbook and Apple, Playbook, not Apple, is solely responsible for the Apple-Enabled Software and the content thereof.

You may not use the Apple-Enabled Software in any manner that is in violation of or inconsistent with the Usage Rules set forth for Apple-Enabled Software in, or otherwise be in conflict with, the App Store Terms of Service.

Your license to use the Apple-Enabled Software is limited to a non-transferable license to use the Apple-Enabled Software on an iOS Product that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the App Store Terms of Service.

Apple has no obligation whatsoever to provide any maintenance or support services with respect to the Apple-Enabled Software.

Apple is not responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law. In the event of any failure of the Apple-Enabled Software to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the Apple-Enabled Software to you, if any; and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Apple-Enabled Software, or any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty, which will be Playbook’s sole responsibility, to the extent it cannot be disclaimed under applicable law.

Playbook and you acknowledge that Playbook, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims of you or any third party relating to the Apple-Enabled Software or your possession and/or use of that Apple-Enabled Software, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the Apple-Enabled Software fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation.  

In the event of any third party claim that the Apple-Enabled Software or the end-user’s possession and use of that Apple-Enabled Software infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, as between Playbook and Apple, Playbook, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

If you have any questions, complaints or claims with respect to the Apple-Enabled Software, they should be directed to Playbook as follows:

San Francisco, CA 94129

Playbook and you acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of these Terms of Service with respect to the Apple-Enabled Software, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms of Service against you with respect to the Apple-Enabled Software as a third party beneficiary thereof.

‍
Third Party Websites 
The Service may provide, or third parties may provide, links or other access to other sites and resources on the Internet.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will have no obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnitee from or against any liability, losses, damages or expenses incurred as a result of any action or inaction of such Indemnitee. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.

Should you wish to open an investment advisory account, such advisory services are provided in accordance with the Herring RIA Sub LLC Investment Advisory Agreement ("Investment Advisory Agreement"). The federal and state securities laws impose liabilities under certain circumstances on persons who act in good faith, and therefore nothing in this Agreement will waive or limit any rights that you may have under those  laws. For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of the fiduciary duty owed by Herring RIA Sub LLC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 in connection with the investment advisory services it provides.

‍
Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration:
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
‍
Agreement to Arbitrate
This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in this Terms of Service as the “Arbitration Agreement.”  You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Playbook, whether arising out of or relating to this Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Service, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in SMALL CLAIMS COURT, if your claims qualify.  Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf.  You agree that, by entering into this Terms of Service, you and Playbook are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.  Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury.  The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
‍
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
YOU AND PLAYBOOK AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.  UNLESS BOTH YOU AND PLAYBOOK 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), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.
 
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
Playbook is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at hello@helloplaybook.com.  If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”).  The Notice to Playbook should be sent to One Letterman Drive, c3500, San Francisco, CA 94129 (“Notice Address”).  The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought.  If Playbook and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Playbook may commence an arbitration proceeding.  During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Playbook or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Playbook is entitled.
‍
Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration will be conducted by one (1) neutral arbitrator, appointed in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, specifically the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules and Consumer Due Process Protocol (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), which expressly govern the arbitration proceeding, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement.  For information on the AAA and its arbitrator roster, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org.  Information about the AAA Rules, procedures, and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer, as may be updated from time to time.  If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration.  The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Service as a court would.  All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement.  Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms of Service and applicable law.  Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons in accordance with controlling law.

Unless Playbook and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances.  If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA.  If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Playbook agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules.  If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules.  Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
‍
Costs of Arbitration
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement.  Any payment of attorneys’ fees and other costs will be governed by the AAA Rules.
‍
Confidentiality
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
‍
Severability
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (b) titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.  If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief.  The remainder of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.
‍
Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement
Notwithstanding any provision in this Terms of Service to the contrary, Playbook agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Service, you may reject any such change by sending Playbook written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above.  By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).
