    9. Membership, Billing and Cancellation
      1. Membership
        1. Perpetual Membership. Your Transportation Nation Network membership, will continue month-to-month or annually (if you chose an annual subscription) unless and until you cancel your membership or we terminate it. You must have Internet access and provide us with a current, valid, accepted method of payment (as such may be updated from time to time, “Payment Choice”) to use the Transportation Nation Network service. We will bill the monthly or annual membership fee to your Payment Choice. You must cancel your membership before it renews each month (or year in the case or an annual subscription) in order to avoid billing of the next month’s (or year’s) membership fees to your Payment Choice.
        2. Varying Memberships. From time to time, Transportation Nation Network may offer a number of membership plans, including special promotional plans or memberships with differing conditions and limitations. Any materially different terms from those described in these Terms of Use will be disclosed at your sign-up or in other communications made available to you. You can find specific details regarding your membership with Transportation Nation Network by visiting our website and clicking on the “Account” link. We reserve the right to modify, terminate or otherwise amend our offered membership plans in the future.
      2. Billing
        1. Recurring Billing. By beginning your Transportation Nation Network membership, you authorize us to charge you a recurring monthly or annual membership fee at the then current rate, and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Transportation Nation Network service to your Payment Choice. You acknowledge that the amount billed each month or year may vary from month to month or year to year for reasons that may include differing amounts due to changing or adding a plan, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Choice for such varying amounts, which may be billed monthly or annually in one or more charges.
        2. Price Changes. We reserve the right to adjust pricing for our service or any components thereof in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in these Terms of Use, any price changes to your service will take effect following email notice to you.
  • Billing Cycle. The membership fee for our service will be billed at the beginning of your membership and each month (or year, in the case of annual subscriptions) thereafter unless and until you cancel your membership. We automatically bill your Payment Choice each month on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your paying membership. Membership fees are fully earned upon payment. We reserve the right to change the timing of our billing, in particular, as indicated below if your Payment Choice has not successfully settled. In the event your paying membership began on a day not contained in a given month, we may bill your Payment Choice on a day in the applicable month or such other day as we deem appropriate. For example, if you started your Transportation Nation Network membership or became a paying monthly member on March 31st, your next payment date is likely to be April 30th, and your Payment Choice would be billed on that date. Your renewal date may change due to changes in your Membership. Visit our website and click on the “View billing details” link on the “Account” page to see the commencement date for your next renewal period. We may authorize your Payment Choice in anticipation of membership or service-related charges. As used in these Terms of Use, “billing” shall indicate a charge, debit or other payment clearance, as applicable, against your Payment Choice. Unless otherwise stated differently, month or monthly (or year, annual, or annually) refers to your billing cycle.
  1. No Refunds. PAYMENTS ARE NONREFUNDABLE AND THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR PARTIALLY USED PERIODS. Following any cancellation, however, you will continue to have access to the service through the end of your current billing period. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all of our members (“credits”). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle you to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide other members credits in the future, under any circumstance.
  2. Payment Choices. You may edit your Payment Choice information by visiting our website and clicking on the “Account” link, available at the top of the pages of the Transportation Nation Network website. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not edit your Payment Choice information or cancel your account (see, “Cancellation” below), you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the Payment Choice, as it may be updated. This may result in a change to your payment billing dates. For certain Payment Choices, the issuer of your Payment Choice may charge you a foreign transaction fee or other charges. Check with your Payment Choice service provider for details.
  3. Cancellation. You may cancel your Transportation Nation Network membership at any time, and you will continue to have access to the Transportation Nation Network service through the end of your monthly or annual billing period.

  9. Arbitration Agreement
    1. If you are a Transportation Nation Network member in the United States (including its possessions and territories), you and Transportation Nation Network agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Transportation Nation Network service, these Terms of Use and this Arbitration Agreement, shall be determined by binding arbitration or in small claims court. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Transportation Nation Network are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and the termination of your Transportation Nation Network membership.
    2. If you elect to seek arbitration or file a small claim court action, you must first send to Transportation Nation Network, by certified mail, a written Notice of your claim (“Notice”). The Notice to Transportation Nation Network must be addressed to: General Counsel, Smartee Blue Partners, LLC, 16 Shade Tree Lane, Mayflower, AR 72106 (“Notice Address”). If Transportation Nation Network initiates arbitration, it will send a written Notice to the email address used for your membership account. A Notice, whether sent by you or by Transportation Nation Network, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If Transportation Nation Network and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Transportation Nation Network may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court.
    3. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after Transportation Nation Network receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, Transportation Nation Network will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US$10,000, in which event you will be responsible for filing fees.
    4. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Unless Transportation Nation Network and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your residence.
    5. If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Transportation Nation Networks’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if Transportation Nation Network did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then Transportation Nation Network will pay you the amount of the award or US$1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
    6. YOU AND TRANSPORTATION NATION NETWORK AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Transportation Nation Network agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
  10. Advertising
  11. Transportation Nation Network does not endorse or verify the claims of any paid advertiser whose marketing messages, images, logos and representations may appear on TransportationNation.com. Furthermore, Transportation Nation Network cannot be held legally or morally liable for any false claims or misrepresentations regarding any advertiser. Transportation Nation Network provides advertising in good faith but does not endorse either explicitly or implicitly any company, product, service, association, or organization unless otherwise noted. Any claim or insinuation to the contrary is false and will be met with appropriate legal action.
  12. Advertiser and advertising agencies assume all responsibility for content (including text, illustrations, representations and claims) of advertisements placed. They also assume liability for any and all claims arising therefrom against the Publisher. The Publisher reserves the right to reject any advertising deemed not in keeping with Network’s standards. The words “PAID ADVERTISEMENT” will be inserted at the top or bottom of advertisements which, in Publisher’s judgment, might be confused with the editorial matter. We take no responsibility for ads produced and printed according to the customer’s approval.
