18. Dispute Resolution
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT CONTAINS A CLASS ACTION WAIVER, REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES, AND CLAIMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM THE COMPANY. You agree that any dispute, controversy or claim between you and The Company arising out of or relating to: (a) these Terms, or the breach thereof; (b) our provision of HatchTracker to you; (c) your access to or use of HatchTracker; or (d) any alleged violation of any federal, state, or local law, statute, or ordinance (each such dispute, controversy or claim, a “Dispute”) will be governed by the arbitration procedure outlined below.
a. Informal Dispute Resolution. We want to address your concerns without the necessity of a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against the Company, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting info@hatchtracker.com. The Company will make a good faith effort to resolve the Dispute informally. If a Dispute is not resolved within 30 days after you contact us, you or we may bring a formal proceeding.
b. Arbitration Agreement. You and the Company each agree to resolve any Disputes through final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in King County, Washington, or any other location we agree to. The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or The Company may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in King County, Washington or any United States county where you live or work. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of HatchTracker, or infringement of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute resolution process described above.
c. Class Action Waiver. You may only resolve Disputes with the Company on an individual basis and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed under these Terms.
d. Legal Fees. If any dispute arises between the parties with respect to the matters covered by these Terms which leads to a proceeding to resolve such dispute, the prevailing party in such proceeding shall be entitled to receive its reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees and out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such proceeding, in addition to any other relief it may be awarded.
e. Limitation on Claims. Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of HatchTracker must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or else that claim or cause of action will be barred forever.
19. GENERAL
a. Relationship of Parties. The relationship between the parties is that of independent contractors and nothing in these Terms should be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employer-employee relationship.
b. Governing Law; Venue. These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington without regard to its choice-of-law provisions. Foreign laws do not apply. The United Nations on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and any laws based on the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) shall not apply to these Terms. The parties agree that any action arising from or relating to these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state and federal courts of Washington and the parties expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in King County, Washington for any lawsuit arising from or related to these Terms.
c. No Assignment No right or obligation pursuant to these Terms may be assigned by either party without the other party’s written consent, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and of no effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may, without consent, assign these Terms to any successor to all or substantially all its business that concerns these Terms (whether by sale of assets or equity, merger, consolidation or otherwise).
d. Entire Agreement. These Terms (along with any documents incorporated by reference) is the final, complete, and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between the parties. No modification of or amendment to these Terms, nor any waiver of any rights under these Terms, will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party to be charged. These Terms may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Each party represents and warrants that (i) it has all right, power, and authority to enter into these Terms and to grant the licenses hereunder and (ii) it will comply with all applicable laws now or hereafter enacted.
e. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in these Terms shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of these Terms, and these Terms shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. If moreover, any one or more of the provisions contained in these Terms shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear.
f. Waiver. Neither will, by the lapse of time, and without giving written notice, be deemed to have waived any of its rights under these Terms. A party’s waiver of any breach of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of these Terms. Neither party shall be required to give notice to enforce strict adherence to all terms of these Terms.
g. Amendments. The Company reserves the right to amend these Terms of Use without notice at any time. If we revise these Terms, we will update this posting. Your continued use of HatchTracker following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes. You further agree that in the event any portion of these Terms of Use are found to be unenforceable, the remainder of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect and the otherwise unenforceable portion shall be amended so as to be enforceable to the greatest extent permitted by law.

PRIVACY PRACTICES
HatchTracker collects Personal Data from Customers, Authorized Users, and website visitors as described in this section. We only collect, use, retain, and disclose Personal Data as is adequate and relevant to the specific, express purpose of providing HatchTracker to our Clients or as reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve our internal business or other purposes permitted by applicable law. During the preceding 12 months, HatchTracker has collected Personal Data in the categories of identifiers, commercial history, and internet and similar information.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to a verifiable request unless we have legal grounds to do so. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request. We endeavor to respond to privacy requests in accordance with the requirements of the law applicable to your jurisdiction.

YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
In the United States, consumer privacy is governed by federal privacy laws covering specific industries or data uses and state privacy laws providing with general consumer privacy rights. This section provides informational notices for state privacy laws applicable in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Nevada, Utah, Virginia, and other states that require companies to inform consumers about their privacy rights and provide a method to exercise those rights. Residents of states offering privacy protections (each a “Consumer”) may have some or all of the rights listed below:
• Right to Correct. The right to correct allows you to request that we correct inaccurate Personal Data about you on our systems. If you become aware that the Personal Data that we hold about you is incorrect, or if your information changes, please inform us and we will update our records.
• Right to Deletion. You may request that we delete your Personal Data that we collected and retained, with certain exceptions. HatchTracker may permanently delete, deidentify, or aggregate the Personal Data in response to a request for deletion.
• Right to Access. The right to access allows you to request confirmation that we have collected Personal Data about you and that we provide you with access to that Personal Data. If you submit an access request, we will provide you with copies of the requested pieces of Personal Data in a portable and readily usable format. Please note that HatchTracker may be prohibited by law from disclosing certain pieces of Personal Data, and we may be limited in the number or frequency of requests we must fulfill.
• Right to Disclosure. You may request that we disclose information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Data, such as: (a) the categories of Personal Data we have collected about you; (b) the categories of sources for the Personal Data we have collected about you; (c) our business purpose for collecting, using, processing, sharing or selling that Personal Data, as applicable; (d) the categories of third parties with whom we share that Personal Data; and (e) if we sold or shared your Personal Data under the CCPA, two separate lists stating: (i) sales or sharing, identifying the Personal Data categories that each category of recipient purchased; and (ii) disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the Personal Data categories that each category of recipient obtained. Certain laws may limit the number or frequency of requests we must fulfill.
• Limited Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Data. You may have the right to opt-out or limit our use of your sensitive Personal Data. The Company does not seek to collect Personal Data that qualifies as sensitive Personal Data under privacy laws, and in no case will we disclose any sensitive Personal Data for the purpose of inferring characteristics about you or otherwise use your sensitive Personal Data without your consent. If this changes in the future, the Company will update this Privacy Policy and provide you with methods to opt-out or limit our use and disclosure of sensitive Personal Data.
• No Selling or Sharing. Some states entitle consumers to opt-out of the sale or sharing of Personal Data or targeted advertising practices. The Company does not sell your Personal Data or share your Personal Data with third parties for cross-contextual behavioral advertising purposes. If this changes in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide you with a method to opt-out.
• No Profiling. Some state laws entitle Consumers the right to opt-out of automated profiling. We do not process your Personal Data to evaluate, analyze, or predict your interests and preferences or otherwise use automated profiling to produce significant effects that concern you. If this changes in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide you with a method to opt-out.
