If you visit or shop on the Websites or use the App, you accept these terms. If you do not agree to anything in these TOU, please do not use the Websites or App. These TOU may be updated by us from time to time without notice, and you agree to be bound by all such updates. Updates will be noted on the Websites. In addition, when using, registering and/or signing up for particular CREDO services, you and CREDO shall be subject to any posted guidelines or rules applicable to such services.

You understand and agree that the Websites and App are provided “AS-IS” and that CREDO assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, misdelivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings.

You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for upgrading and configuring your systems to be and remain compatible with the Websites or App. CREDO has no control over third-party networks you may access during your use of the Websites or App, and therefore, delays and disruption of other network transmissions are completely beyond CREDO’s control.

Whenever CREDO handles information that you enter on our Sites or on the App, regardless of where this occurs, we take steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with the relevant Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, CREDO cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
Additionally, you may not use your account to gain or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Websites or App, including, but not limited to, accessing another user’s account. You should use caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.
CREDO reserves the right to terminate account sessions that are inactive for an extended period. If you provide any information that is not current, untrue, inaccurate or incomplete, or fail to update any information on a timely basis, or if CREDO has reason to believe that information you provided is not current, untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, CREDO may suspend or terminate any or all of your accounts and refuse you any and all current or future use of the Websites or App (or any portion thereof). CREDO also retains the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend, deactivate, or terminate any or all your accounts, as reasonably necessary to investigate or stop illegal, fraudulent, or suspicious activities.

The arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator using the procedures described in this Section 19. The arbitration of any dispute shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and shall be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, as modified by this these TOU, which are in effect on the date a dispute is submitted to the AAA. To the extent that such procedures differ from these TOU, these TOU shall govern to the fullest extent permitted by law. You have the right to be represented by counsel in an arbitration. In conducting the arbitration and making any award, the arbitrator shall be bound by and strictly enforce the terms of these TOU and may not limit, expand, or otherwise modify their terms.
Before you take a dispute to arbitration, you must first write to CREDO at:
and give CREDO an opportunity to resolve the dispute. Similarly, before CREDO takes a dispute to arbitration, CREDO must first attempt to resolve it by contacting you. If the dispute cannot be satisfactorily resolved within thirty (30) days from the date you or CREDO is notified by the other of a dispute, then either party may contact the AAA in writing and request arbitration of the dispute. Information about the arbitration process and the AAA’s Arbitration Rules and its fees are available at www.adr.org. The arbitration will be based only on written submissions of the parties and the documents submitted to the AAA relating to the dispute, unless either party requests that the arbitration be conducted using the AAA’s telephonic, online, or in-person procedures. Additional charges may apply for these procedures. Any in-person arbitration will be conducted at a location the AAA selects in in San Francisco, California. Arbitrations under these TOU shall be confidential as permitted by federal law. However, by filing for arbitration, you may elect to relieve both parties to the arbitration of confidentiality obligations. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s fees shall be deposited equally by the parties but may be awarded by the arbitrator as provided in the AAA rules.
Nothing in this Section 19 or otherwise shall preclude the CREDO Parties from seeking any injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for protection of the CREDO Parties’ intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights. You acknowledge and agree that the CREDO Parties’ remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach by you of any of the provisions of these TOU would be inadequate and therefore agree that in the event of a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the CREDO Parties shall, without posting any bond or other security, be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction, or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.
All rights and remedies of CREDO upon your breach or other default under these TOU will be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy conferred by these TOU or by law or equity on CREDO, and the exercise of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other. These TOU are governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California , without reference to its conflict of the laws principles. No waiver of any of these TOU shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition.
