In the event of a dispute between the Parties hereunder (each, a “Dispute”) that cannot be settled amicably, such Dispute shall be resolved by arbitration, as provided herein below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this section shall prevent a Party from seeking interim injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to preserve the status quo or to prevent irreparable harm pending resolution of any Dispute.

Any claim, dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement and not resolved amicably shall be submitted by the Parties to binding arbitration in the Dallas County, Texas by a single (1) arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), governed by the laws of the State of Texas.

1. REGISTRATION, IN GENERAL
1.01 Subscriptions are not available to persons under 18 years of age.

2.03 Use of the Services does not cause a violation of or conflict with any other agreement to which you or the Subscriber are a party.
3. THE SERVICES
3.01 Parent Geenee shall provide the Services described in the plan to which you subscribe.

It is your responsibility to install the Controller. A defective Controller will be replaced free of charge (including/not including the cost of returning the defective Controller). We may, at any time, replace your Controller with a newer model free of charge, in which case you will be required to return the old Controller and we will pay for the cost of returning the old Controller. If you are required to return a Controller and do not do so, you will be charged $____.
3.03 The Services enable you to:
(a) Track what is viewed on computers via Internet or other digital services (e.g., smart phones, tablets). You can generate a report of websites, URL’s and ______________________. You cannot watch real-time what is being viewed on another device. Programming is tracked locally with your Controller. We do not have access to nor do we store your tracked content.
(b) Block certain URL’s, _____________________. You cannot block specific content within an unblocked site. For example, you can block TikTok but you cannot block specific content on TikTok. As described in more detail in our Privacy Policy, we collect information as to what content is blocked but it is not associated with your or anyone else’s account. For example, we may know that a certain program was blocked X times on a certain date but we do not know who blocked it. Such information can be very useful to content providers in deciding what content to product/provide and, in this way, your information may help influence the availability of content you deem desirable for your household/minors and the reduction of content you deem undesirable for household/your minors.
3.04 You may upgrade or downgrade the level of Services at any time by written notice to customerservices@ParentGeenee.com. Such change will be effective at the end of the then-current Term and you will continue to have access to the same level of Services for the remainder of the then-current Term, after which your Subscription will be updated. You will not receive any refund, credit or allowance with respect to the Subscription Fee for a downgraded Subscription for the remaining portion of the then-current Term.
3.05 The Services include the Documentation and such additional services and support as Parent Geenee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, provide.

Such termination will be effective at the end of the then-current Term and you will continue to have access to the Services for the remainder of the then-current Term, after which your Subscription will not renew. In such case, you will not receive any refund, credit or allowance with respect to the Subscription Fee for the portion of the then-current Term after your notice of termination.
4.04 Parent Geenee may terminate the Services and/or this Agreement without Cause upon Thirty (30) days’ notice or at any time upon written notice with Cause. If we terminate the Services and this Agreement without Cause, the portion of your Subscription Fees allocable to the unexpired then-current Term shall be refunded. If we suspend Services or terminate with Cause, no portion of the Subscription Fee paid shall be returned, refunded or credited to you. In the event you dispute Parent Geenee’s determination of Cause, such dispute shall be addressed as provided in Section 9 of the General T&Cs provided that your sole remedy shall be either a refund of Subscription Fees paid for the portion of the Term during which Parent Geenee did not provide the Services or reinstatement of the Services subject to Section 6 of these Subscriber T&Cs; and in no case will you be entitled to damages resulting from any such suspension or termination.

Confidential Information means any and all information which is possessed by or developed for a Party and which relates to such Party’s existing or potential business or technology, which information is generally not known to the public, and which information such Party seeks to protect from disclosure to its existing or potential competitors or others, and includes, without limitation, source code, business plans, business strategies, business know-how and techniques, marketing plans, and the identities and business preferences of current or prospective customers or vendors. Confidential Information also includes information received by a Party from others that such Party has an obligation to treat as confidential. Confidential Information includes information and documents whether or not they are marked “confidential” or carry any other marks or designations including but not limited to Trade Secrets. “Trade Secrets” means all information possessed by or developed for a Party, including, without limitation, a compilation, program, device, method, system, technique, formula, pattern, or process to which all of the following apply: (i) the information derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and (ii) the information is the subject of efforts to maintain its secrecy that are reasonable under the circumstances.
10.02 Confidential Information of a Party shall remain the sole and exclusive property of such Party except as to Confidential Information which, by its nature and usage, is or becomes the joint Confidential Information of both Parties. The Parties agree that even if not so marked, all client lists, work product, know-how and methodologies are Confidential Information of the respective Party.
10.03 The Receiving Party agrees to not use, disclose, distribute or disseminate, or allow others to use, disclose, distribute or disseminate Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party except as expressly permitted under this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall use at least the same procedures and degree of care that it uses to prevent the disclosure of its own confidential information to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information, but in no event less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party agrees to restrict access to such Confidential Information to only those employees or contractors who need such Confidential Information in order for Parent Geenee to exercise its rights or perform its obligations hereunder.
10.04 The foregoing restrictions will not apply to information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate (i) was known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party as shown by the files of the Receiving Party in existence at the time of disclosure other than as a result of a violation of an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party; (ii) has become publicly known through no wrongful act of the Receiving Party; (iii) has been rightfully received by the Receiving Party from a third-party authorized by the Disclosing Party to make such disclosure without restriction or without an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party; (iv) has been approved for release by written authorization of the Disclosing Party; or (v) has been independently developed by the Receiving Party without any use of Confidential Information and by employees or other agents of the Receiving Party. In addition, each Party shall be entitled to disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to the extent such disclosure is requested by the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency or other governmental body provided that the Party required to make the disclosure shall provide prompt, advance notice thereof to enable the other Party to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent such disclosure.
10.05 All Confidential Information shall be surrendered to the Disclosing Party upon the request of the Disclosing Party; provided, however, that Confidential Information may be retained by the Receiving Party to the extent that retention of such Confidential Information is necessary to comply with its internal document retention policies aimed at legal, corporate governance or regulatory compliance and any such retained Confidential Information shall remain subject to the disclosure and use restrictions set forth herein, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall not be deemed to have retained or failed to return or destroy any Confidential Information if Confidential Information received or stored in digital format is deleted from local hard drives and/or off-site storage so long as no attempt is made to recover such Confidential Information from servers or back-up sources, provided that any such retained Confidential Information shall remain subject to the disclosure and use restrictions set forth herein, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement.
10.06 If and to the extent there is a conflict between this Section on Confidentiality and the Privacy Policy, the Privacy Policy shall control.
11. INDEMNIFICATION
