This is an agreement (“Agreement”) between Go Overseas, Inc. (“Go Overseas"), the owner and operator of the Platform and you (“you”, “your” or “user(s)”), a user of the Platform. Throughout this Agreement, the words “Go Overseas,” “us,” “we,” and “our,” refer to our company, Go Overseas, Inc., as is appropriate in the context of the use of the words.

Additionally, we may revoke or restrict your access to our Platform if we believe that your actions may harm or have harmed Go Overseas, other users, or the Platform itself.

For example, we may remove User Content if we believe it violates our community standards. We have no obligation to retain or provide you with copies of User Content.

Payments
Paid features of the Platform (the “Paid Services”) are subscription based unless otherwise specified on the Platform. The prices, features, and options of the subscription based Paid Services (the “Subscription Plan”) depend on the specific Subscription Plan selected as well as any changes instigated by you. Go Overseas does not represent or warrant that a particular Subscription Plan will be offered indefinitely and reserves the right to change the prices for or alter the features and options in a particular Subscription Plan without prior notice.
You agree to pay Go Overseas all fees associated with the Paid Services and/or Subscription Plan in a timely manner. ALL PAYMENTS FOR PAID SERVICES, INCLUDING ALL SUBSCRIPTION PLANS, ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. Charges for Subscription Plans may be billed to you in advance or in arrears, as determined in Go Overseas’s discretion.
Go Overseas’s Subscription Plans automatically renew unless otherwise noted. If you purchase a Subscription Plan you agree to pay the then-current applicable fee associated with the Subscription Plan and further agree and acknowledge that it will automatically renew, unless, prior to the end of the current period of effectiveness of the Subscription Plan (“Subscription Term”): (a) you terminate your account or the Subscription Plan at least 15 days before next bill date for monthly Subscription Plans, and at least 30 days before next bill date for yearly Subscription Plans.; (b) Go Overseas declines to renew your Subscription Plan; or (c) this Agreement is otherwise properly terminated as expressly permitted herein. The Subscription Plan will automatically renew on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the Subscription Plan you choose (“Renewal Term”).
When you purchase a Subscription Plan, you must provide accurate and complete information for a valid payment method that you are authorized to use. You will be billed for your Subscription Plan through the payment method you provide, such as a credit card. You must promptly notify Go Overseas of any change in your invoicing address and must update your account with any changes related to your payment method. BY COMPLETING REGISTRATION FOR A SUBSCRIPTION PLAN, YOU AUTHORIZE GO OVERSEAS OR ITS AGENTS TO CHARGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD ON A RECURRING (E.G. MONTHLY OR YEARLY) BASIS (“AUTHORIZATION”) FOR: (a) THE APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION PLAN CHARGES; (b) ANY AND ALL APPLICABLE TAXES; AND (c) ANY OTHER CHARGES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE PAID SERVICES. The Authorization continues through the applicable Subscription Term and any Renewal Term until the Subscription Plan is terminated as specified above.
Please be aware that we use third party payment processors to process all payments for the Paid Services. You must read and agree with our third party payment processor’s agreements in order to purchase anything from the Platform. All payment information will be processed, stored, and secured by our third party payment processor and we do not have control over such processor and do not assume any responsibility for the actions of our processor.
Taxes
Depending on the laws of your jurisdiction you may be taxed for any payments or purchases. In the event that we do not collect the applicable taxes, you agree that you are still responsible for any applicable taxes. Although no taxes may be collected by us, you agree that you will pay any applicable taxes or fees to the tax agencies having jurisdiction over you. You agree that we are not responsible for collecting, transmitting, or advising on taxes, duties, or other levies by the government regarding your purchases.

You acknowledge and agree that we make no representation or warranty about, and do not endorse, third party’s products or services or the information provided by third parties, whether through the Platform or otherwise.

Age Compliance
The Platform is not intended to be used by children under 13 years of age. By using the Platform, you represent to Go Overseas that you are over 13 years old and that you are legally able to enter into this Agreement. If we learn or have reason to suspect that a user is under age 13, we will promptly delete any personal information in that user’s account and will terminate such user’s account. If you are between 13 and 18 years of age, you represent that you have permission from your parent or legal guardian to use the Platform.
Choice of Law
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws in force in the state of California. The offer and acceptance of this contract is deemed to have occurred in California.
Arbitration
You agree to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of the Platform in the following manner. First, we both agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally by contacting each other by email (you can email us at info@gooverseas.com). Second, if the dispute is not resolved through informal resolution, we both agree that any dispute relating in any way to your use of the Platform shall be submitted to confidential arbitration in Alameda County, CA. Arbitration under this Agreement shall be conducted pursuant to the applicable rules (“Rules”) then prevailing at the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration shall be conducted by one (1) arbitrator as selected pursuant to the Rules; the arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall be responsible for their own arbitration fees and costs. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through class action proceedings or otherwise. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of, related to or connected with the use of the Platform or this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever banned (the foregoing time limitation is not applicable to residents of New Jersey). In the event that the law does not permit the above mentioned dispute to be resolved through arbitration, you agree that any actions shall be brought solely in a court of competent jurisdiction located within or otherwise nearest to Alameda County, CA.
Either you or we may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief without first engaging in the dispute resolution process described above.
We both agree that, in the event of arbitration, or in the event of a lawsuit as permitted by this section or otherwise, the prevailing party shall be entitled to costs and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees). Arbitration pursuant to this section shall be confidential, and neither you, nor us, nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement or appeal of the arbitration award. If any portion of this arbitration clause is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall still be given full force and effect.
YOU AND GO OVERSEAS EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
Nothing contained in this section shall limit our ability to terminate, or otherwise take action related to, your account as provided in this Agreement.
Class Action
You and Go Overseas agree that any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute whether through a court of law or arbitration shall be solely conducted on an individual basis. You agree that you will not seek to have any dispute heard as a class action, representative action, collective action, or private attorney general action.
Termination
You may terminate this Agreement by cancelling your account via your account dashboard or contacting us at info@gooverseas.com. Please be aware that upon termination of your account, access to portions of our Platform may be become immediately disabled and your User Content may be deleted. We may terminate your access if we determine that: (1) you have violated any applicable laws while using our Platform; (2) you have violated this Agreement or any other of our Platform policies; or (3) if we believe that any of your actions may harm Go Overseas, other users, or other third parties, at our sole decision or discretion.

Severability
In the event that a provision of this Agreement is found to be unlawful or otherwise unenforceable, the Agreement will remain in force as though it had been entered into without that unenforceable provision being included in it.
If two or more provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement you may have with Go Overseas are deemed to conflict with each other’s operation, you agree that Go Overseas shall have the sole right to elect which provision remains in force.
Non-Waiver
We reserve all rights permitted to us under this Agreement as well as under the provisions of any applicable law. Our non-enforcement of any particular provision or provisions of this Agreement or any applicable law should not be construed as our waiver of the right to enforce that same provision under the same or different circumstances at any time in the future. No waiver by us shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Go Overseas.
Assignment
You may not assign your rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any other party without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any other party at our discretion.
