For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

Controlling Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California and the United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. You and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in San Francisco, California for any actions for which the parties retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights, as set forth in the Dispute Resolution provision below.

Severability

These Terms are intended to govern the agreement between Slingwise and you to the extent permitted by all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations. If any provision of these Terms or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall, for any reason or to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of these Terms and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby, but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

Dispute Resolution in The US and EU/The Netherland

You and Slingwise agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or to the use of the Services or use of the Site or Application (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration , except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. You acknowledge and agree that you and Slingwise are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Slingwise otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Terms.

Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org/si.asp?id=3477 and a separate form for California residents at www.adr.org/si.asp?id=3485.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of California and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless you and Slingwise otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Slingwise submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law.

Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, Slingwise will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of the “Modification” section above, if Slingwise amends this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms) you will be notified in accordance with these Terms. You may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to support@slingwise.com) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated Date” above or in the date of Slingwise’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Slingwise in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

Disputes in The EU /The Netherlands can be settled in similar manner as in The US in the appropriate courts or independent arbitrage. 

Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Slingwise and you regarding the Site, Application, Services, Collective Content and any Appointments or Advicestores made via the Site, Application and Services, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Slingwise and you regarding the same.

General

The failure of Slingwise to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Slingwise. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. If for any reason an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

Security and Data Retention

To protect your privacy and information, Slingwise uses multiple security procedures and practices to protect from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification and disclosure of Personal Information of users.

When you enter Personal Information on our Site and Application, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). SSL creates a secured connection between our web servers and your browser, which protects against unauthorized access to transmitted data and supports data being sent only to intended recipients.

Your Personal Information is password protected and our main servers are locked and hosted by a leading provider of Internet access to enterprises with mission-critical Internet application requirements. Access to the host environment is secure.

Identity theft and the practice currently known as “phishing” are of great concern to Slingwise. Safeguarding information to help protect you from identity theft is a top priority. We do not and will not, at any time, request your credit card information, your Slingwise Account ID, login password, or national identification numbers in a non-secure or unsolicited email or telephone communication.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about security on our Site and Application, you can contact us at support@Slingwise.com

Note that we will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored “personal data” (as defined in applicable state statutes on security breach notification) to you via email or conspicuous posting on the Site and Application in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, insofar as consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO ACCESS OR USE THE SITE, APPLICATION, SERVICES, OR COLLECTIVE CONTENT.

If you accept or agree to these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms. In such cases, “you” and “your” will refer to that company or legal entity.

Modifications

Slingwise reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify the Site, Application, Services, or these Terms, including any applicable service fees (as defined below), at any time and without prior notice. If we make changes to these Terms, we will post the updated version on the Site or through the Application and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

Modifications will become effective immediately upon posting. However, material changes to the Terms will take effect for existing Members thirty (30) days after notice is provided via email from support@slingwise.com to the email address on file with your account. You agree to keep your email address on file with Slingwise accurate and up to date.

By continuing to access or use the Site, Application, or Services after any modifications have been posted or communicated, you agree to be bound by the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, your sole recourse is to stop using the Site, Application, and Services.

Eligibility

The Site, Application, and Services are intended solely for individuals who are 18 years of age or older. Any access to or use of the Site, Application, or Services by anyone under the age of 18 is expressly prohibited. By accessing or using the Site, Application, or Services, you represent and warrant that (i) you are 18 or older, and (ii) you have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements.

How the Site, Application, and Services Work

Slingwise offers two core functionalities:

1. Marketplace Platform: A platform where Members can create profiles (Advicestores), connect, and schedule Appointments to exchange information and advice with other Members. Visitors may view Advicestores without registering, but full functionality (e.g., booking and communication) requires registration.
2. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS): Experts can integrate parts of their Slingwise Advicestore with their own websites to enable bookings, present offerings, and manage appointments.

Slingwise’s role is strictly limited to facilitating access to the Site, Application, and Services. This includes appointment scheduling, integrated live video, payment processing, dashboard management, and other SaaS features. (See https://slingwise.com/new-how-it-works for more details.)

Slingwise is not a provider of advice or consulting services. We do not verify the identity, qualifications, or credentials of any Member, nor do we control or endorse the advice exchanged between Members. Experts are not employees or agents of Slingwise; they are independent service providers using the platform to market their expertise. You agree that Slingwise is not liable for any loss or damage resulting from reliance on Member Content or information shared during Appointments.

PLEASE NOTE: SLINGWISE PROVIDES A TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM TO FACILITATE MEMBER INTERACTION. WE DO NOT CONTROL OR GUARANTEE THE QUALITY, ACCURACY, OR LEGALITY OF ANY INFORMATION CONTAINED IN AN ADVICESTORE OR EXCHANGED DURING APPOINTMENTS. ALL USE OF THE SITE, APPLICATION, AND SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

User Account Registration

To access certain features of the Site and Application and to create an Advicestore, you must register for a Slingwise Account and become a Member. You may register:

• Directly via the Site or Application, or
• Via a Third Party Account using supported social networking services such as Facebook, Gmail, or LinkedIn.

By linking a third-party social networking service (“SNS”) account (each a “Third Party Account”), you authorize Slingwise to access your SNS account in accordance with that service’s terms and privacy settings.

You represent and warrant that you have the right to share your SNS login information with Slingwise and to grant Slingwise access to your SNS account without violating any applicable terms. This includes sharing any content stored on the SNS for display or use via your Slingwise profile.

Unless otherwise stated, any content retrieved from a Third Party Account (“SNS Content”) will be treated as Member Content under these Terms. Your ability to display SNS Content on Slingwise depends on the privacy settings of your SNS account. If access to a Third Party Account is revoked or the service becomes unavailable, associated SNS Content may no longer be accessible through the Slingwise platform.

Third Party Accounts Disclaimer

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNTS IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH PROVIDERS. Slingwise does not review any SNS Content for accuracy, legality, or non-infringement and disclaims all responsibility and liability for such content.

Account Creation and Responsibilities

We will create your Slingwise Account and corresponding profile page based on the personal information you provide directly or via an SNS (as described above). You may not register more than one (1) active Slingwise Account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep this information updated.

Slingwise reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account and access to the Site, Application, and Services if you create multiple accounts or if any information provided is inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete.

You are responsible for safeguarding your password. You agree not to disclose it to any third party and accept full responsibility for any activities or actions that occur under your account, whether or not authorized by you. You must immediately notify Slingwise of any unauthorized use of your account.

Advicestores

As an Expert, you may create Advicestores to offer services to other Members. You will be required to provide details about your expertise, pricing, and terms. Advicestores will be publicly visible on the Site, Application, and Services.

Seekers can book Appointments and purchase services based on the information you publish in your Advicestore. Once an Appointment is requested, the price stated in the Advicestore cannot be changed.

You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for the content of your Advicestore(s) and those created by coworkers under your account. You represent and warrant that:

1. The content does not violate any agreements with third parties, and
2. Your Advicestore and services (a) comply with all applicable laws, tax obligations, and regulations, and (b) do not infringe the rights of others.

Slingwise is not responsible for Advicestore content or for ensuring compliance with laws or regulations. You understand that Slingwise:

• Is not involved in interactions between Members,
• Does not recommend, endorse, or screen Experts, and
• Does not monitor or validate the accuracy of Member Content.

Slingwise is not a party to any agreement between Members. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion and without notice, to remove or disable any Advicestore that we find objectionable, in violation of these Terms, or otherwise harmful to the platform.

As an Expert, you agree to be fully responsible for your actions and omissions.

No Endorsement

Slingwise does not endorse any Member or their qualifications. Although we require Members to provide accurate information, we do not confirm the identity or credentials of any Member.

You are solely responsible for assessing the suitability of other Members. By using the Site, Application, or Services, you agree that any legal claim or remedy you pursue due to another Member’s actions must be directed against that Member only. You agree not to hold Slingwise liable for the conduct of other users.

Appointments and Financial Terms

For Experts:
If you receive an Appointment request, you must respond within 24 hours. Failure to respond will result in the request being automatically accepted.

When an Appointment is confirmed, we will share the necessary Seeker information with you—unless you are on a pay-per-lead subscription, in which case information disclosure may be limited based on your plan (see section on subscriptions below).

Booking Rate:
The minimum amount due by a Seeker for a scheduled Appointment (if applicable) is referred to as the booking rate. Booking rates are specified in your Advicestore, quoted in USD or EUR, and displayed as a rate per minimum duration (in minutes) and per minute thereafter. All rates are set solely by the Expert.

Slingwise Fees

In consideration for the Services, Slingwise charges either:

• A fixed monthly subscription fee, or
• A percentage-based service fee on Appointment earnings (the “Service Fee”).
  For full pricing details, see: https://slingwise.com/pricing/

Subscription Plans

1. Subscription A – Free Starter Plan
   To help you get started with Slingwise, we offer Subscription A, a free plan with limited features. This includes the ability to receive up to 3 free discovery calls per month. Members on Subscription A agree not to misuse its intended purpose. Slingwise reserves the right to limit, modify, or cancel features of this subscription at any time.
2. Subscription C1 – Paid Plan for Unlimited Discovery Appointments
   Subscription C1 is a monthly paid plan that allows Experts to receive unlimited free discovery appointments. A fixed fee applies, and this plan is designed for professionals who want greater exposure and lead volume.

Slingwise Subscription C2 – Pay-per-Lead Discovery Appointments

Under Subscription C2, Experts are not charged a fixed monthly fee. Instead, when a Seeker books an appointment, the Expert will be notified via email and a message in their Slingwise dashboard. Access to the Seeker’s full contact details and the appointment link will be granted only after the Expert has paid the agreed pay-per-lead fee.

If the Expert declines to pay the fee or does not act on the lead, the appointment will be automatically cancelled 24 hours before the scheduled time.

Slingwise does not guarantee the quality of any lead and cannot be held responsible for the outcomes or usefulness of any such booking.

Slingwise Subscription B1 – Fixed Fee for Paid Advice

Under Subscription B1, Experts pay a fixed monthly fee to receive unlimited paid advice appointments. In this plan, Slingwise does not charge a percentage-based service fee. All earnings from paid advice sessions, minus Slingwise’s transaction fee, are transferred directly to the bank account provided in the Expert’s main account.

Slingwise Subscription B2 – Revenue Share for Paid Advice

Under Subscription B2, Experts are not charged a fixed monthly fee. Instead, Slingwise charges a 20% service fee on all Appointment Fees collected on behalf of the Expert. The remaining 80% (after subtracting the transaction fee) is transferred to the Expert’s designated bank account.

The Service Fee is deducted automatically from the Appointment Fee payable to the Expert after a paid consult.

At the conclusion of each Appointment, Slingwise calculates the total fee based on the actual duration of the session and the applicable per-minute rate. After deducting the Service Fee and any amount pre-paid by the Seeker, Slingwise processes the payment via Stripe or any other listed payment provider, in either USD or EUR.

Service Fees are non-refundable.
If a Seeker refuses to pay any outstanding Appointment Fee, Slingwise is not liable and cannot be held accountable.

Appointments and Financial Terms for Seekers (Paid Advice)

As a Seeker, you are solely responsible for honoring confirmed Appointments. By scheduling an Appointment via the Site or Application, you agree to all applicable terms as outlined in these Terms and in the Expert’s Advicestore. Slingwise is not a party to the agreement between you and the Expert and assumes no liability for its performance.

You agree to pay all Appointment Fees due in connection with any scheduled Appointment. To initiate an Appointment, Slingwise may obtain a pre-authorization or charge your credit card (or payment method such as iDEAL) for an amount equal to:

(Minimum booking time set by the Expert × Expert’s per-minute rate) + Slingwise transaction fee.

At the end of your Appointment, any remaining balance will be charged to your payment method.

You will be prompted to provide standard billing details, including your name, billing address, and payment information. Payments will be processed via Stripe or another third-party provider. You authorize Slingwise to charge your payment method directly or via the provider. If you are redirected to a third-party provider, you may be subject to their own terms and privacy policy. Please review them before use.

Upon successful payment, you will receive a confirmation email summarizing your Appointment.

General Financial Terms

Refunds

• As a Seeker, you may cancel or reschedule a paid advice Appointment without penalty at least 24 hours before the scheduled time.
• Cancellations or rescheduling within 24 hours of the Appointment are not permitted for paid advice sessions.
• Discovery calls (free Appointments) may be cancelled or rescheduled at any time.
• If you cancel a paid Appointment in accordance with these Terms, you will be fully reimbursed.
• As an Expert, you may cancel a scheduled Appointment at any time without penalty.

Disclaimers

IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE THE SITE, APPLICATION, AND SERVICES, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK. You acknowledge and agree that Slingwise has no obligation to conduct background checks on any Member, including Seekers and Experts, but may do so at its sole discretion.

The Site, Application, Services, and Collective Content are provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Without limiting the foregoing, Slingwise explicitly disclaims any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quiet enjoyment, non-infringement, or warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

Slingwise makes no warranty that:

• The Site, Application, Services, or Collective Content (including Advicestores or information exchanged in Appointments) will meet your requirements;
• The Site, Application, or Services will be available without interruption, securely, or error-free;
• The quality, accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of any Collective Content will meet your expectations.

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from Slingwise or through the platform, creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.

You are solely responsible for your communications and interactions with other users of the Site, Application, and Services. Slingwise does not attempt to verify the statements of users or guarantee their conduct. You agree to take reasonable precautions in all communications and interactions, including those with Experts, regardless of whether Slingwise facilitates such interactions.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, you acknowledge and agree that your access to and use of the Site, Application, Services, Collective Content, Advicestores, or Appointments—and any interactions with other users—are at your sole risk.

Neither Slingwise nor any party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the platform shall be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages, including but not limited to:

• Loss of profits, data, goodwill, service interruption, computer damage, or system failure;

  • Use or inability to use the platform;

  • Any communication, interaction, or meeting with another person as a result of your use of the platform.

This applies regardless of whether the damages are based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability, or any other legal theory—even if Slingwise was informed of the possibility of such damages and even if a limited remedy fails in its essential purpose.

In no event shall Slingwise’s aggregate liability exceed:

• The total amount you have paid or owe for Appointments in the twelve (12) months prior to the incident giving rise to the liability, or
• One hundred U.S. dollars (USD $100), if no such payments were made.

Note: Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages. In such cases, the above limitations may not apply to you.

Indemnification

You agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Slingwise and its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal and accounting fees) arising out of or related to:

• The Netherlands, and
• Any other relevant jurisdiction.

In particular, the Application may not be exported or re-exported to:

• Countries subject to U.S., EU, or UK embargoes, or
• Individuals listed on the U.S. Treasury’s Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Denied Persons List, the EU Sanctions List, or the UK Sanctions List.

We encourage you to share feedback, comments, and suggestions to help us improve Slingwise (“Feedback”). You may submit Feedback by emailing support@slingwise.com.

All Feedback becomes the sole and exclusive property of Slingwise. By submitting Feedback, you agree to irrevocably assign all rights, title, and interest in the Feedback to Slingwise, including any associated intellectual property rights.

At Slingwise’s request and expense, you agree to assist in acquiring, protecting, and maintaining those rights by executing necessary documents and cooperating in legal processes.

Reporting Misconduct

If you believe that another user is acting or has acted inappropriately, including but not limited to:

• Engaging in offensive, violent, or sexually inappropriate behavior;
• Suspected fraudulent activity;
• Any other disturbing or unsafe conduct;

You should immediately report the individual to the appropriate authorities and notify Slingwise at support@slingwise.com. While Slingwise is not obligated to take action, we reserve the right to investigate and take appropriate measures at our discretion.

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without prior written consent from Slingwise. Any attempted assignment or transfer without such consent will be null and void.

Slingwise may assign or transfer these Terms freely and without restriction. These Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.

Notices

Unless otherwise stated, any notices or communications required or permitted under these Terms shall be in writing and will be deemed given:

• By Slingwise via email (to the email address you provide); or
• By posting the notice on the Slingwise Site or through the Application.

For email notices, the date of transmission shall be considered the date of receipt.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California and the United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

You and Slingwise agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco, California, for any action seeking injunctive or equitable relief related to intellectual property rights (including copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and patents).

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible under law.

Dispute Resolution (U.S., EU, and Netherlands)

You and Slingwise agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the use of the Site, Application, or Services (collectively, “Disputes”), shall be resolved through binding arbitration, except where either party seeks injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for intellectual property matters.

Class Action and Jury Waiver

By agreeing to arbitration:

• You waive the right to a jury trial, and
• You waive the right to participate in any class action or representative proceeding.

Unless both you and Slingwise agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section will be deemed void.

Arbitration Rules and Governing Law

Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”), available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.

The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

Arbitration Process

To initiate arbitration, the party must submit a written Demand for Arbitration as outlined in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will be either:

• A retired judge, or
• An attorney licensed to practice law in California, selected by mutual agreement or appointed by the AAA if the parties do not agree within 7 days.

Arbitration Location and Procedure

Unless otherwise agreed, arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside.

• If your claim is $10,000 or less, arbitration will be based on written submissions only, unless a hearing is requested or deemed necessary by the arbitrator.
• If your claim is over $10,000, the AAA Rules determine your right to a hearing.
• The arbitrator may allow a reasonable exchange of evidence consistent with the streamlined nature of arbitration.

Arbitrator’s Decision

The arbitrator will issue an award with findings and conclusions. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

• The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only to the extent necessary to resolve the claimant’s individual dispute.
• Awards of damages will align with the Limitation of Liability section above.
• If you prevail, you may be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees and costs as provided by law.

Fees

Your responsibility for AAA fees will be as provided in the AAA Rules. However, if your damages claim is under $75,000, Slingwise will cover all filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees unless the arbitrator finds the claim frivolous or brought for improper purposes (per Rule 11(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure).

Changes to Dispute Resolution

Notwithstanding the provisions of the “Modification” section above, if Slingwise amends this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes), you will be notified in accordance with these Terms.

You may reject any such change by sending written notice (including via email to support@slingwise.com) within 30 days of the date the change becomes effective, as indicated by the “Last Updated” date or the date of our notification. By rejecting a change, you agree to arbitrate any Dispute in accordance with the version of this “Dispute Resolution” section that was in effect at the time you first accepted these Terms (or any validly accepted modification).

Disputes arising in the EU or The Netherlands may also be settled in a similar manner, either through the appropriate courts or through an independent arbitration process.

Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between you and Slingwise regarding the Site, Application, Services, Collective Content, Appointments, and Advicestores. They supersede and replace all prior oral or written agreements or understandings between you and Slingwise relating to the same subject matter.

General Provisions

• The failure of Slingwise to enforce any right or provision in these Terms does not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision.
• Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Slingwise to be effective.
• The exercise of any remedy by either party under these Terms shall be without prejudice to other available remedies.
• If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

When you visit the Site or Application, whether logged in or not, we automatically collect:

• Non-Identifying Information: Profile preferences, usage settings, and demographic data, which may be aggregated for performance and service improvements.
• Log Data: Your IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, time spent on pages, search terms, timestamps, and interaction data. This is used for analytics, troubleshooting, improving navigation and performance, and ensuring platform security.

We do not associate Log Data with Personal Information unless necessary for specific support or security reasons. However, aggregated and anonymized versions of this data may be used for internal analysis or service development.

Cookies

Like many websites, we use cookies to collect information. A cookie is a small data file transferred to your computer’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies for two primary purposes:

1. Persistent cookies: These are used to save your login information for future sessions.
2. Session cookies: These enable specific features of the Site and Application, help us understand how you interact with the platform, and allow us to analyze overall usage patterns and web traffic. Session cookies are deleted when you log out and close your browser.

You can modify your browser settings to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. Please note, however, that disabling cookies may limit the functionality of the Site, Application, or Services.

Web Beacons

Our Site and Application may include Web beacons (also known as single-pixel GIFs). These are electronic images used in combination with cookies to:

• Analyze user activity on the platform,
• Compile aggregate usage statistics, and
• Monitor which emails and links have been opened.

This helps us evaluate the effectiveness of our communications and marketing efforts.

Security and Data Retention

Slingwise implements multiple layers of security to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, destruction, or misuse. Security measures include:

• SSL Encryption: When you enter sensitive information, we use secure socket layer (SSL) technology to encrypt the data in transit.
• Password Protection: Your account is password-protected, and our servers are hosted in secure data centers with controlled access.
• Infrastructure: Hosting is managed by enterprise-grade providers known for supporting mission-critical internet applications.

We will never ask for your credit card information, password, or identification number via email or phone. If you receive suspicious communications, please contact us immediately.

While we follow generally accepted industry standards, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. As such, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If we experience a breach involving your unencrypted personal data, we will notify you by email or prominent notice on our platform without unreasonable delay, unless law enforcement advises otherwise.

Sharing Personal Contact Information

To maintain a secure and trustworthy environment for all users, sharing personal contact details—including email addresses, phone numbers, Skype or IM usernames, or any other personal contact information—is strictly prohibited on Slingwise.

All communications, file exchanges, and information sharing must occur exclusively through Slingwise’s messaging system. This protects both users and the integrity of the platform.

Slingwise is built on security and trust. In an online environment traditionally vulnerable to fraud and abuse, maintaining communication within the Slingwise platform is essential for user safety and privacy.

Slingwise’s Call Back service and User Inboxes are specifically designed to facilitate professional, secure communication. To help protect user privacy, all personally identifiable contact details beyond your name must remain anonymous in initial conversations.

International Transfer of Personal Information

Slingwise and its third-party partners may operate globally. As such, your personal information may be collected, transferred, stored, or processed outside of your country, including jurisdictions where data protection laws may be different (and possibly less protective) than those in your location.

Information may be disclosed in compliance with lawful requests from government or legal authorities in those countries.

By using the Site, Application, or Services—or by submitting your personal information—you consent to this potential international transfer and processing of your data.

Access to Your Information

You have the right to request access to any personal information we have collected, used, or disclosed about you. To submit a request, please contact us at support@slingwise.com.

By using the Site, Application, or Services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, including any future amendments. Please check the “Last Updated” date to ensure you are aware of the most current version.

If material changes are made to this policy, Slingwise will:
