IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AS DETAILED IN THE ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER SECTION BELOW. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
This Terms of Service Agreement (“Terms”), including the BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER CONTAINED HEREIN govern your access to, use of, and participation in the websites, applications software, processes, and any other services (collectively “Platform”) provided by or through U-MVPindex, LLC. (“MVPindex,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). PLEASE READ THE TERMS THOROUGHLY AND CAREFULLY. BY USING THE PLATFORM, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, THEN YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM.
All references to “you” or “your,” as applicable, mean the person who accesses, uses, and/or participates in the Platform in any manner, including users that create a password-protected account (”Account”) and pay for access to certain features of the Platform (“Subscribers”), and non-paying users that access the free portions of the Platform (‘Users”), and each of your heirs, assigns, and successors. If you’re agreeing to these Terms on behalf of an organization or entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to agree to these Terms on that organization or entity’s behalf and bind them to these Terms (in which case, the references to “you” and “your” in these Terms, except for in this sentence, refer to that organization or entity).
MVPindex reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify these Terms, and any other documents incorporated by reference herein, at any time and without prior notice. MVPindex will notify you of changes by posting on the Platform, sending you a message, or otherwise notifying you in accordance with applicable law when you are logged into your Account.
Please review MVPindex’s Privacy Policy located at MVPindex.com/privacy-policy, incorporated herein by reference, for information and notices concerning MVPindex’s collection and use of your information. Certain areas of and/or products on the Platform may have different terms and conditions posted or may require you to agree with and accept additional terms and conditions or policies. If there is a conflict between these Terms and the terms and conditions or policies posted for a specific area or product, the latter take precedence with respect to your use of that area or product.
To use the Platform, you must be, and represent and warrant that you are, of legal age (18 years of age or older or otherwise of legal age in your jurisdiction, or, if you have parental consent, between 13-18 years of age) and competent to agree to these Terms. By accessing or using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you are eligible. If MVPindex has previously prohibited you from accessing or using the Platform, you are not permitted to access or use the Platform.
MVPindex, as permitted by applicable laws, obtains publicly available information regarding athletes, teams, leagues, entertainers, bands and other entities (collectively, “Influencers”). We may limit, block, suspend, deactivate, or cancel a listing in the index at any time in our sole discretion. MVPindex uses a proprietary algorithm and ranking system that enables comparisons across the parties based on criteria solely established by MVPindex. The rankings are based on reach of audience (“Reach”), engagement with individuals (“Engagement”), and a conversation score where the Platform seeks to associate positive and negative sentiment with individuals and apply a proprietary algorithm to allow comparisons within or across categories (“Conversation Score”). A consistent criterion is used to establish the scores and rankings for each Influencer in a category unless otherwise noted. In establishing Conversation Scores MVPindex may adjust scoring based on its interpretation of the data for accuracy purposes for some Influencers on a case by case basis. Users of the website acknowledge that by accessing the data, they are viewing the result of these collective algorithms that are solely based on MVPindex’s subjective discretion. By using the Platform, you agree to not hold MVPindex liable and MVPindex accepts no legal responsibility for losses sustained by any party as a result of use of its data. MVPindex accepts no responsibility for inaccuracies of data provided by or collected from third parties.
You may access the Platform without registering for an account. To access and participate in certain features of the Platform, you may have to register for an Account and pay subscription fees in accordance with the level of access granted to the Platform. Subscribers are granted access to the data based on the level of subscription that is paid for. You are solely responsible for safeguarding your Account password and, if applicable, any third-party site password used to connect to the Platform. You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs on your Account, and you will notify MVPindex immediately of any unauthorized use using the contact information below. MVPindex is not liable for any losses by any party caused by an unauthorized use of your Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may be liable for the losses of MVPindex or others due to such unauthorized use.
Please note that this Terms of Use only covers MVPindex’s use of the data that you provide. If you are accessing the Platform through the account of a brand, that brand has rights to collect and access certain data as well. Those rights are governed by the MVPindex subscription agreement. Please check with the brand whose account you are using about their data policies and any other applicable rules regarding your use of the Platform. Moreover, please note that if you have provided consent for us to share your information with third parties, please check with those third parties to determine what rules apply to their collection and use of your data.

Any reference to an Influencer’s Reach, Engagement, or Conversation Score is a description based on MVP’s research into publically available databases and proprietary algorithm.

Without limiting any other rights reserved herein, we may, in our sole discretion, with or without prior notice and at any time, take any action permitted by law for any violation of these Terms or any other policy or agreement between you and MVPindex, including but not limited to limiting your access to the Platform, blocking, suspending, deactivating or cancelling your Account and/or Subscription in whole or in part, and/or requiring you to forfeit certain funds or paid Fees, assessing monetary penalties or costs. We may cooperate with law enforcement agencies in investigation or prosecution of you. If we exercise our discretion under these Terms to do so, any or all of the following can occur with or without prior notice or explanation to you: (a) your Account and/or Subscription will be deactivated or suspended, your password will be disabled, and/or you will not be able to access the Content.
You may cancel your use of the Platform and/or terminate your Account at any time using the “Account Settings” under “My Account.” Upon termination, we will delete any private data that you provided directly to us.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
You and MVPindex agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions.
This section is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us, including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before your agreement to these Terms, or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to advertising); and claims that may arise after the termination of your Account, Subscription, or the Platform. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small court claims, as provided below.
By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve any and all disputes with MVPindex as follows:
Initial Dispute Resolution: Most disputes can be resolved without resort to litigation. You can reach MVPindex’s support department at info@mvpindex.com. Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with the MVPindex support department, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
Binding Arbitration: If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the “Initial Dispute Resolution” provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including the Terms’ or Privacy Policy’s formation, performance, and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Platform shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms or the Privacy Policy, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms or Privacy Policy is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To start an arbitration, you must do the following: (a) write a demand for arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a demand for arbitration at www.jamsadr.com ); (b) send three copies of the demand for arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS, 8401 N. Central Expressway Suite 610, Dallas, TX 75225; and (c) send one copy of the demand for arbitration to MVPindex at 100 Congress Avenue Suite 2000, Austin, Texas, 78701, ATTN: Legal.
To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, MVPindex will pay the additional cost. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, MVPindex will pay the fees invoiced by JAMS, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.
The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing. For individuals residing outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in the State of Texas, United States of America, and you and MVPindex agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Travis County, Texas, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
Class Action Waiver: The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND MVPINDEX 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. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims: Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
30-Day Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending (from the email address you use on MVPindex) written notice of your decision to opt out to opt-out@mvpindex.com with the subject line, “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT.” The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Platform or your agreement with these terms, whichever occurs later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, MVPindex also will not be bound by them.
Changes to This Section: MVPindex will provide thirty (30) days’ notice of any changes to this section by posting on the MVPindex Terms of Service website, sending you a message, or otherwise notifying you when you are logged into your account. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the MVPindex Terms of Service website or sent to you.
Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the thirtieth (30th) day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on “Changes to This Section” is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the section entitled “Arbitration and Class Action Waiver,” and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first “Arbitration and Class Action Waiver” section in existence after you began using the Platform.
Survival: This Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall survive any termination of your Account, Subscription, or the Platform.
The Terms and the relationship between you and MVPindex shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against MVPindex that is not subject to arbitration must be resolved by a state or federal court located in Delaware. You hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE PLATFORM REMAINS WITH YOU. NEITHER MVPINDEX NOR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE PLATFORM WILL BE LIABLE (WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT MVPINDEX HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE) FOR: (A) ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR LOSS OF GOODWILL; (B) SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE OR SYSTEM FAILURE; (C) THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES; (D) ANY DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL OR BODILY INJURY OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS; OR (E) THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM OR CONTENT.
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL, AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF MVPINDEX AND ITS AFFILIATES AND SUBSIDIARIES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE TERMS, PLATFORM, CONTENT, OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES ACTUALLY PAID TO MVPINDEX BY YOU HEREUNDER, OR ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100) IF NO SUCH PAYMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE, AS APPLICABLE.
THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY DESCRIBED ABOVE MAY NOT BE APPLICABLE IN SOME JURISDICTIONS, BUT SHALL APPLY FULLY TO RESIDENTS OF NEW JERSEY AND RESIDENTS OF OTHER STATES THAT PERMIT THE EXCLUSION OF THESE WARRANTIES AND LIABILITIES.
You agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold MVPindex and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including without limitation reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (a) your access to or use of the Platform or your violation of these Terms; (b) your Account and Subscription; and (c) your interaction with any Subscriber, User, or Influencer, including but not limited to any injuries, losses, or damages (compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with the Platform.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, if you are a resident of New Jersey, you only agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold MVPindex and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including without limitation reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your violation of these Terms.
If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.
If you are not a California resident, you waive your rights under any statute or common law principle similar to Section 1542 that governs your rights in the jurisdiction of your residence.
Force Majeure: Other than payment obligations, neither MVPindex nor you shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure in performance under the Terms arising out of a cause beyond its control and without its fault or negligence.

Except as explicitly stated herein, if any provision of the Terms is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect.
Waiver: No waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and MVPindex’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
