These Terms and Conditions ("T&Cs") apply to your use of the Deel Community Platform ("Community"). You agree to abide by these T&Cs whenever you use the Community, navigate through its pages or resources, or read or use documents and information posted on the Community.

 

PURPOSE

The Community is a peer-to-peer and support channel for people and brands who want to create customers for life! The Community has discussion and education pieces on our software, as well as thought leadership on digital best practices. Although we designed the Community to focus on our customers, partners, and employees, we welcome anyone with an interest in enterprise communities, customer loyalty, and brand- building to join ("Users").

These Terms will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions or by the JAMS Rules in the case or arbitrations as outlined below.

You agree to first attempt to resolve disputes with us in good faith and in a timely manner.

Claims involving amounts greater than {1}50,000 will apply the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures; and Claims involving amounts less than or equal to {1}50,000 will apply the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of these Terms). Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis – class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You understand that by agreeing to these Terms, you and Deel are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action or class arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and Deel will have the right to bring an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief, pending a final decision by the arbitrator. Payment for any and all reasonable JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be in accordance with the JAMS Rules.

 

MISCELLANEOUS.

The T&Cs, together (if applicable) with any other agreement you may have with us relating to the Community or the Deel Services, constitute the entire agreement between Deel and you concerning the subject matter hereof, and they may only be modified by a prior written amendment signed by an authorized representative of Deel, or by the posting by Deel of a revised version, as applicable. Any variation to the T&Cs or any other agreement relating to the Community or the Deel Services must be agreed to in prior writing by Deel. If any part of the T&Cs is held invalid or unenforceable, that part will be construed to reflect the original intent of the parties, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of the T&Cs or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof. You may not assign your rights under the T&Cs without prior written consent from an authorized representative of Deel. Deel may assign its rights under the T&Cs with restriction. The T&Cs will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns. You acknowledge and agree there are no third- party beneficiaries to the T&Cs.
