Rights You Grant to Us
Whenever you submit or otherwise make available User Content to Ritual (including through use of a help, support, feedback, or "Contact Us" feature, or through a social media website) you: (1) grant to Ritual an irrevocable, worldwide, nonexclusive, perpetual, fully sub-licensable and assignable, royalty-free license to use, exploit, reproduce, modify, translate, incorporate in other works, create derivative works from, publish, broadcast, and perform that User Content – and your name, voice, likeness and other identifying information in connection with that User Content – via any medium now known or later developed, without any compensation to you, for any business purpose in Ritual's discretion, including, without limitation, in connection with the training, development, and use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and related models; and (2) to the extent permitted by applicable law, waive all of your moral rights in that User Content to the fullest extent permitted by law, even if the User Content is altered or changed in a manner not agreeable to you.

You acknowledge and agree that your relationship with Ritual is not a confidential, fiduciary, or other type of special relationship, and that your decision to submit any User Content does not place Ritual in a position that is any different from the position held by members of the general public, including with regard to your User Content. You further agree that Ritual is free to use any ideas or concepts contained in any User Content for any purposes whatsoever, including, without limitation, developing, manufacturing and marketing products and services, including, without limitation, publication of your User Content on the Services, without any payment of any kind to you. To the fullest extent permitted, you waive any moral rights you may have in any User Content you submit, even if such User Content is altered or changed in a manner not agreeable to you.
You acknowledge that Ritual may be working on or developing material similar or the same in nature to your User Content and that Ritual may have received similar or the same intellectual property rights from another party.

Reporting Copyright and Other Intellectual Property Violations
If you believe that any content on the Services infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, please contact us with details of the alleged infringement.
Social Distribution
Ritual may allow you – but only through express written permission or via Ritual-provided functionality on the Services – to engage in certain personal uses of Ritual Content that include the ability to share Ritual Content with others ("Social Distribution"). For example, the Services may allow you to send Ritual Content to friends or post Ritual Content on a third party website. You agree to make no claims, promises, or statements on behalf of Ritual.

Third Party Accounts
In order to access certain features of the Services, you may be required to link your account with a third party account ("SNS" and each such account, a "Third-Party Account") by allowing us to access your Third-Party Account, as is permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each Third-Party Account. You represent that you have the right to grant us access to your Third-Party Account (including, but not limited to, for use for the purposes described herein) without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable Third-Party Account and without requiring us to pay any fees or subjecting us to any usage limitations imposed by such third-party service providers. By granting us access to any Third-Party Accounts, we may access, make available and store (if applicable) any data and/or other materials accessible through the Site ("Content") that you have provided to and stored in your Third-Party Account ("SNS Content") so that it is available on and through the Site via your account. You may also share Content obtained or accessed through the Services with such Third-Party Account. You have the ability to disable the connection between your account and your Third-Party Accounts at any time by revoking such access from the Third-Party Account, or by contacting us at my@ritual.com.

Product Reviews
The Services allow registered users to post reviews, ratings and comments about Products purchased through the Site (collectively, "Reviews"), and you are solely responsible for any content, opinion, statement, recommendation or advice contained therein. Reviews posted on our Services are not endorsed by Ritual and do not represent the views of Ritual. You acknowledge that any opinions, statement, recommendation, ratings, advice or other information presented in any Review are those of their respective authors who are solely responsible and liable for their content. That means that you, and not Ritual, are solely responsible and liable for any Reviews that you post. By posting a Review, you grant Ritual a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, transferable, irrevocable and fully sublicensable right to (a) host, use, reproduce, modify, run, adapt, translate, distribute, publish, create derivative works from and publicly display such User Content of yours throughout the world in any media, now known or hereafter devised; (b) make the Review available to the rest of the world and to let others do the same; (c) to provide, promote, and improve the Services and to make your Review shared on the Services available to other companies, organizations or individuals for the syndication, broadcast, distribution, promotion or publication of such User Content of yours on other media and services, subject to our Privacy Policy and this Agreement; and (d) use the name and/or trademark that you submit in connection with such Review of yours. You further grant Ritual the right to pursue at law any person or entity that violates your or Ritual's rights in your Review by a breach of this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that your Review is non-confidential and non-proprietary. You affirm, represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary licenses, rights (including copyright and other proprietary rights), consents and permissions to publish and otherwise use (and for Ritual to publish and otherwise use) your Review as authorized herein.
To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, and except as expressly prohibited by law, Ritual reserves the right to refuse to post or remove any material submitted or posted in any Review. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge that Ritual is under no obligation to edit or modify any information available in any Reviews or decide any dispute or disagreement between the posters and shall have no liability to you for any content posted in a Review. Ritual does not assume liability for Reviews or for any claims for economic loss resulting from such ratings and reviews.
Because we expect users to maintain a high level of integrity with respect to ratings and reviews posted through the Services, you agree: (i) to base any rating or review you post only on your first-hand experience with the product you are reviewing; (ii) you will not submit a rating or review in exchange for payment or other benefits from any individual or entity; and (iii) your review will comply with this Agreement.
In accordance with applicable law and except as expressly prohibited, if Ritual determines, in our sole discretion, that any rating or review could undermine the integrity of the ratings and reviews, we may exclude such Review without notice.
Further, in accordance with applicable law, Ritual may remove any Reviews in the event it determines, in its sole discretion, that a Review:
- Is false, unlawful, misleading, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, indecent, lewd, suggestive, harassing (or advocates harassment of another person), threatening, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, abusive, inflammatory, fraudulent or otherwise objectionable;
- Is patently offensive to the online community, such as that which promotes racism, bigotry, hatred or physical harm of any kind against any group or individual;
- Would constitute, encourage, promote or provide instructions for conduct of an illegal activity, a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, violate the rights of any party in any country of the world, or that would otherwise create liability or violate any local, national or international law;
- Provides instructional information about illegal activities such as making or buying illegal weapons, violating someone's privacy or providing or creating computer viruses;
- May infringe any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other intellectual or proprietary right of any party;
- Constitutes mass mailings or "spamming", "junk mail", "chain letters" or "pyramid schemes";
- Impersonates any person or entity or otherwise misrepresents your affiliation with a person or entity, including Ritual;
- Is private information of any third party, including, without limitation, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, social security numbers and credit card numbers;
- Include or are intended to facilitate viruses, corrupted data or other harmful, disruptive or destructive files;
- Is unrelated to the topic of the Reviews or products in which such Review is posted; or
- Is otherwise objectionable, or may wrongfully expose Ritual or its users to any harm or liability of any type.
For avoidance of doubt, this section does not in any way prohibit consumers from posting honest ratings and reviews about the Services.

Notice regarding Medical and Professional Advice
Ritual is not a health care provider and the Services do not provide medical or other licensed professional advice. Nothing stated or posted on this Site or available through any services are intended to be, and must not be taken to be, the practice of medicine.

Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition before relying on or otherwise deciding to take any action on the basis of any content or information available through the Services. Never disregard professional medical or health related advice or delay in seeking it because of information you have obtained through the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, those who are taking medication or are under treatment for a disease, or who are pregnant or lactating, are encouraged to consult with their health care professional before using any of the products.
Accuracy of Information
Ritual has developed the Services to provide you with information about Ritual products and services. The Services may from time to time provide new information or data, but otherwise it is an archive of materials for your use.

We reserve the right to modify the contents of the Services at any time, but we have no obligation to update any information on the Services. You agree that it is your responsibility to monitor changes to the Services. We shall not be liable to you or to any third-party for any such modification. We are not responsible if information made available on the Services is not accurate, complete or current. The materials on the Services are provided for general informational purposes only and should not be relied upon or used as the sole basis for making decisions without consulting primary, more accurate, more complete or more timely sources of information. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any reliance on the material on the Services is at your own risk. Although Ritual uses reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy and currency of the content on the Services, Ritual makes no warranties or representation as to completeness, accuracy or currency of information on the Services, as further described under Disclaimer of Warranties.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, and except where expressly prohibited or relation to "Non-Excludable Guarantees" (described below), you understand and agree that in no event shall Natals, Inc. and its partners, service providers, consultants, vendors, and the directors, officers, employees, and agents or other representatives of each of them (collectively, "Ritual Parties") be liable to you or anyone else for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, economic, punitive, or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with the Site or Services, including, without limitation, any damages resulting from loss of use, data, or profits, whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages, or for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with the Agreement, or from any communications, interactions or meetings with other users of the company properties, on any theory of liability, resulting from: (1) the Services or Ritual Content, (2) User Content, (3) the use or inability to use the Site or Services, or the performance of the Services or the Ritual Content, (4) your use of any Products or services purchased from the Services; (5) the cost of procurement of substitute goods or services resulting from any goods, data, information or services purchased or obtained through the Services; (6) unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data; (7) statements or conduct of any third party on the Services; (8) action taken in connection with an investigation by the Ritual Parties or law enforcement authorities regarding your use of the Services; (9) any errors or omissions in the Services' technical operation; (10) action taken in connection with copyright or other intellectual property owners; (11) any damage that results from events beyond our reasonable control, such as damages to any user's computer, mobile device, or other equipment or technology including, without limitation, damage from any security breach or from any virus, bugs, tampering, fraud, error, omission, interruption, defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer line or network failure or any other technical or other malfunction, or (12) any other matter related to the Services, whether based on warranty, copyright, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory.

Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, and except where expressly prohibited by law, you agree that in the event you incur any damages, losses or injuries that arise out of any of the Ritual Parties' acts or omissions, the damages, if any, caused to you are not irreparable or sufficient to entitle you to an injunction preventing any exploitation of any website, property, product, service, or other content owned or controlled by the Ritual Parties, and you will have no rights to enjoin or restrain the development, production, distribution, advertising, exhibition or exploitation of any website, property, product, service, or other content owned or controlled by the Ritual Parties.
By accessing the Services, you understand that you may be waiving rights with respect to claims that are at this time unknown or unsuspected, and in accordance with such waiver, you acknowledge that you have read and understand, and expressly waive, the benefits of section 1542 of the Civil Code of California, and any similar law of any state or territory, which provides as follows:
"A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party."
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or consequential damages, so some of the exclusions and/or limitations in this section may not apply to you.

Arbitration Agreement/Dispute Resolution/Class Action Waiver (U.S. Residents Only)
Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section ("Arbitration Agreement") carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with us and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
This clause applies to the fullest extent permitted by law. To the extent that any dispute between you and Ritual arises from this Agreement or your use of or access to the Services, the arbitration proceedings will be governed by federal arbitration law and by the JAMS (defined below) rules.
Both you and Ritual waive the right to a trial by jury and the right to bring or resolve any dispute as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action. Both you and Ritual waive the right to participate in a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action related to any dispute that is brought by anyone else. Notwithstanding any provision in the JAMS rules to the contrary, the arbitrator will not have the authority or any jurisdiction to hear the arbitration as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action or to consolidate, join, or otherwise combine the claims of different persons into one proceeding.
- Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You and Ritual each agree that any dispute, claim or request for relief relating in any way to your access or use of the Services, to any Products sold or distributed through the Services, or to any aspect of your relationship with us, will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if your claims qualify; (2) you or we may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents); or (3) where Ritual is seeking injunctive relief (the "Excluded Disputes"). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all disputes, claims or requests that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.
- Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent Incorporating Services, Ltd., 3500 S Dupont Hwy, Dover, Delaware 19901, with a copy to Natals, Inc. (dba Ritual), 1370 N St Andrews Pl, Los Angeles, CA 90028. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys' fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS's most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS's most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS's rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS's filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, we will pay them for you. In addition, we will reimburse all such JAMS's filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.
You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and us. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum's rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
- Waiver of Jury Trial. You and Natals, inc. hereby waive any constitutional and statutory rights to sue in court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury. You and we are instead electing that all disputes, claims or requests shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in 1 above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
- Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. All disputes, claims and requests for relief within the scope of this Arbitration Agreement must be arbitrated on an individual basis and not on a class or collective basis, only individual relief is available, and claims of more than one customer or user cannot be arbitrated or consolidated with those of any other customer or user. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this section's limitations as to a given dispute, claim, or request for relief, or for any Excluded Disputes, then such aspect must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the Federal or state courts of Los Angeles, California. All other disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be arbitrated.
-
Batch Arbitration. You and Ritual agree that the JAMS Mass
Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines apply to any mass arbitrations, as
amended/modified by this Arbitration Agreement.
You and Ritual agree that, in the event that there are fifty (50) or more individual requests for arbitration of a similar nature filed against Ritual within an approximately thirty-day period (or otherwise in close proximity), JAMS will administer all such similarly situated arbitration demands on a collective basis as a single, consolidated arbitration (subject to a single set of fees, proceeding schedule, and, if required, hearing) before a single arbitrator in accordance with the requirements outlined elsewhere in this section, provided that – in the event that the arbitrator deems it impracticable or inequitable to administer all such claims collectively in a single arbitration – (s)he may group demands for arbitration into groups of not fewer than twenty (20) matters, plus a remainder group as needed (or as otherwise deemed by the arbitrator to be practicable, equitable, and in best keeping with the spirit of this provision) and arbitrate each group of matters as a single, consolidated arbitration (either structure a "Batch Arbitration"). You and Ritual agree (a) to work with JAMS in good faith to facilitate the resolution of disputes on a Batch Arbitration basis and (b) that requests for arbitration are of a "similar nature" if they arise out of the same event, agreement, or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. Disagreements over the applicability of this Batch Arbitration process will be settled in a single, consolidated arbitration proceeding that includes all affected parties and is resolved by a single arbitrator subject to the requirements of this section. This Batch Arbitration provision will in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class or collective arbitration or action of any kind, or any suit or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims, under any circumstances other than those expressly set forth in this section. If for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that the Batch Arbitration provision is unconscionable or unenforceable, the Batch Arbitration provision will be deemed severable from the Arbitration Agreement and will not affect the validity and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement.
To the extent the parties disagree on the applicability of the mass arbitration process, the disagreeing party will advise the arbitrating organization (JAMS), and the arbitrating organization shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the mass arbitration process' applicability ("Administrative Arbitrator"). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly.
You and we agree that the Mass Arbitration Procedures Fee Schedule will govern the payment of arbitration fees for mass arbitrations. Notwithstanding the forgoing, both you, we (and, if being represented, both of our attorney(s)) agree to cooperate in good faith to take reasonable measures to reduce the costs and fees of arbitration, so that the process is cost-effective for all parties involved. This may include collaborating with JAMS to decrease JAMS's fees. In addition, you and we agree that if the Administrative Arbitrator finds that either your or our claims, counterclaims and/or appeals are brought for an improper purpose and/or are frivolous, the Administrative Arbitrator will award to the other party the costs and expenses (including, without limitation, any and all charges by the Administrative Arbitrator), and attorneys' fees incurred by the other party.
- 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: Natals, Inc.

Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
- Severability. Except as provided in 5 above, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
- Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with us.
- Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing Company at the following address: Natals, Inc. (dba Ritual), 1370 N St Andrews Pl, Los Angeles, CA 90028.
- Alternatives to Arbitration. If you are a resident of a jurisdiction that prohibits arbitration agreements or class action waivers in consumer contracts and this Agreement is deemed to be a consumer contract, the portions of this Agreement related to arbitration will not apply to you. Instead, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any claim will be the state and federal courts located in the State of California and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. If you are a resident of a jurisdiction that prohibits the application of California law in a consumer contract, this Agreement will be governed by the laws of your jurisdiction of residence and the non-exclusive venue of any claim will be in the courts of your jurisdiction of residence.
