PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING USER AGREEMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY:

Please be advised that this UA contains an Agreement to Arbitrate, which will, with limited exception, require you to submit any claims you have against us to binding and final arbitration, unless you opt-out of the Agreement to Arbitrate in accordance with the rules below. Unless you opt-out, you will only be permitted to pursue claims and seek relief against us on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action or proceeding.

We welcome you to Murray’s Carbs and we invite you to access and use our mobile app and our Site, subject to the rules that follow.

Murrays Carbs LLC (“Murray’s Carbs“) requires that all visitors (“you“) to our Site (www.MURRAYSCARBS.com) or who use our mobile app (collectively referred to as the “Site“), agree to the terms of this User Agreement (“UA”), in order to access or use the Site and the services provided through it (the “Services”). The Services include email newsletters, online content, scholarship listings, offers from business partners, mobile applications, and other services of use to our entity partners. By accessing or using the Site or Services, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this UA, and to the collection and use of your information as set forth in the Murray’s Carbs Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated by reference.

As used in this UA, “we,” “our,” and “us” means Niche unless otherwise indicated. The word “you” includes generally both individuals using the Site for personal purposes (“Consumer Users”) or legal entities who use the Site for commercial or civic purposes, such as schools, colleges or municipalities (referred to collectively as “Entity Users”). In this UA, any reference to “you” will mean both Consumer Users and Entity Users (“Users”), unless we specify one or the other for any particular provision within the UA. Additions and changes to the content on the Site or to the software used to power it will be covered by this UA and will become effective to those things upon publication to the Site.

I. Who is Murray’s Carbs?

Murray’s Carbs is a company with an address located at 259 Brewer Road, Lexington, NC 27295. We provide an online platform designed to facilitate easy access to online-based services for Consumer Users and Entity Users. For instance, Consumer Users can use our Site to explore data that we make available about schools and colleges, workplaces, and places to live, and get useful information from our partner schools, colleges and municipalities. Our Entity Users can use our Site and the related Services to advertise their school, college, place of employment, or list facts about their town or city, provide links to their respective websites and get useful data from the extensive Niche data base. An Entity User can use the Site by simply registering and claiming a school or location, or by becoming a Premium Member under a separate services agreement with us (referred to as a “Services Agreement”), which provides the Entity User with significantly more data and content allowances to reach target populations. There are fees associated with becoming a Premium Member, and these fees, as well as additional terms and conditions, are set forth in the separate Services Agreement that you must enter into with us. Please contact us at [email protected] to obtain more information on becoming a Premium Member. On the Site, we use our brand name “Murray’s Carbs”.

II. Privacy Policy.  

We are committed to protecting the privacy of any personal information you provide to us when you use the Site. Please see our Privacy Policy for details. This UA includes and incorporates by reference the Niche Privacy Policy.

III. Account Creation.

The Murray’s Carbs Site accounts are designed for use only by Consumer Users 13 years of age or older, their parents, and others 13 years of age or older interested in using the Services for non-commercial, personal use. Entity Users are also for designated representatives of schools, work places, and other entities whose services relate to the Services and who want to claim and update their particular entity page on our Site.

Users are the sole creators of their accounts and Niche does not independently verify the information provided, except that Niche does reserve the right to verify Entity User account information and updates. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Niche account and password. You shall be responsible for all uses of your account and password, whether or not authorized by you. You agree to immediately notify Murray’s Carbs of any unauthorized use of your account or password.

You also agree that we or third parties acting on our behalf may send you emails regarding important information regarding your use of the Site and other electronic communications such as newsletters, promotional materials and so on. You may opt out of receiving the newsletters and other promotional messages at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link on the email, but you may not opt-out of receiving important items regarding the use of the Site or your account and the like. Please see our Privacy Policy for your opt-out rights and how to exercise them. All suggestions and comments you provide become the intellectual property of Murray’s Carbs.

IV. Consumer Users of Niche Services.

Consumer Users of the Services may be prompted to express their interest in a school, work place, or other provider of products or services on our Site, via a checkbox, button click, or the like, or by adding a school or work place to your list for your account (by typing it in, clicking “Add to List”, or clicking an icon that we may provide for this purpose).  Depending on your contact preferences, we may attempt to inform these third party providers of your interest and express consent (where you provide such consent) to receive certain communications, including autodialed or pre-recorded calls and/or text messages, in accordance with Section XIII.G.(2), below, and the Murray’s Carbs Privacy Policy.

If we communicate with a provider, we may share your profile information with them so that they can contact you directly. If you select “No” for a provider, then we’ll remove it from your list of recommendations. Regardless of your level of interest in a provider, Murray’s Carbs always recommends that you follow-up with the provider directly as we cannot guarantee that we can connect you with every provider. This feature is only available to those who have registered for an account.

Your use of the Murray’s Carbs Services does not take the place of any school application or employment application and does not guarantee the admittance into a school, job interview or placement, or any other desired result. Niche does not make any guarantees, representations, warranties, or promises that any Niche Services will assist you in getting admitted into a school, hired by a work place, or in obtaining any other desired result.

V. User-Generated Content. 

Murray’s Carbs, through its forums and surveys, provides Users an opportunity to post content to the Murray’s Carbs Services. Murray’s Carbs does not necessarily endorse, support, sanction, encourage, or agree with content posted by Users.  By submitting, posting or consenting to our use of any User-generated content, you grant to Murray’s Carbs and its affiliates a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable and transferable license to copy, publish, translate, modify, reformat, create derivative works from all or any portion of the User-generated content.

You acknowledge that by posting User-generated content on the Site, we are merely acting as a passive conduit for its publication and distribution and we are not undertaking any obligation or liability related to it. All information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, video, messages, or other materials uploaded, posted or transmitted on the Site, whether publicly uploaded or posted or privately transmitted, is the sole responsibility of the person from whom such content originated.

If you are an Entity User, you acknowledge and understand that a fundamental aspect of our Services is the ability of Consumer Users to share their experiences at each school, in a particular place to live, or work place.  You do not have control or input into how and what Consumer User-generated content we use and display on the Site. Niche reserves the right to remove reviews that do not follow the content guidelines or have been submitted from an unverified account (i.e., the authenticity of the email address for the account is verified by the Consumer User).

However, you may report any objectionable User-generated content or other violations by emailing [email protected] or by clicking the “Report” link (when available) next to User-generated content on the Site.

If you upload, post, or otherwise transmit content to the Site,  regardless of what kind of User you are, you acknowledge that any such submissions may be edited, removed, modified, published, transmitted, used and displayed by Niche or third parties in any medium now existing or later invented, and for any purpose, including commercial uses. You waive any moral rights you may have in having the material edited, removed, modified, published, transmitted, used or displayed in a manner not agreeable to you.

YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT: YOUR USE OF THE SITE, THE CONTENT, THE SERVICES AND SOFTWARE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.

XI. Limitation of Liability.

IN NO EVENT SHALL MURRAY’S CARBS, ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, REPRESENTATIVES, SUBCONTRACTORS, ADVISORS, OR ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE CREATION, PRODUCTION, OR DELIVERY OF THE SITE (COLLECTIVELY “MURRAY’S CARBS AND ITS AFFILIATES”) BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, DAMAGES OR LOSS OF PRODUCTS, USE OF DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES RESULTING FROM THE USE OF ANY OF THE SITE OR ANY LINKED SITE (AS DEFINED IN THIS UA), OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE, SERVICES, CONTENT OR SOFTWARE.

MURRAY’S CARBS NEITHER WARRANTS NOR REPRESENTS THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, CONTENT, SOFTWARE OR ANY OTHER MATERIALS DISPLAYED ON THE SITE WILL NOT INFRINGE RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES.

XII. Resolution of Disputes.

You and Murray’s Carbs agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that may arise between us relating in any way to this UA or your use of or access to the Site or related Services will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Resolution of Disputes Section. Please read this Section carefully. It affects your rights and will have a substantial impact on how claims you and we have against each other are resolved.

A. Applicable Law: This UA is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of North Carolina, USA, without regard to its choice of law or conflicts of law provisions, and any controlling United States federal law. If any provision is deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful or unenforceable, it will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

B. Agreement to Arbitrate: You and MURRAY’S CARBS each agree that any and all disputes or claims that may arise between you and us relating in any way to or arising out of this or previous versions of the UA or your use of or access to the Site or any related Services shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate.

(1)  Prohibition of Representative or Class Actions and Non-Individualized Relief –

YOU AND MURRAY’S CARBS AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS WE BOTH AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (WHETHER MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND/OR DECLARATORY) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER MURRAY’S CARBS USERS.

(2)  Arbitration Procedures – Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court and uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited.  The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of this Agreement to Arbitrate or of the UA.

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules and procedures, as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA’s site at http://www.adr.org. In addition to filing this form with the AAA in accordance with its rules and procedures, you must send a copy of the completed form to us at the following address to initiate arbitration proceedings: MURRAY’S CARBS LLC, 259 BREWER ROAD, LEXINGTON, NC, 27295

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of North Carolina. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Niche Users. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having appropriate jurisdiction.

(3)  Costs of Arbitration – Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate.

(4)  Severability – With the exception of the provisions in Section XII.B(1) of this Agreement to Arbitrate (“Prohibition of Representative or Class Actions and Non-Individualized Relief”), if any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate is held invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or a court, then the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate Section will still apply. If an arbitrator or court decides that any of the provisions in Section XII.B(1) of this Agreement to Arbitrate are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall be null and void. The remainder of the UA and its Resolution of Disputes Section will continue to apply.

(5)  Opt-Out Procedure – YOU CAN ELECT TO “OPT-OUT” OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE AND REJECT ITS PROVISIONS SO LONG AS YOU ARE A NEW MURRAY’S CARBS USER, BY MAILING US A WRITTEN OPT-OUT NOTICE (“OPT-OUT NOTICE”). THE OPT-OUT NOTICE MUST BE POSTMARKED NO LATER THAN 3 BUSINESS DAYS FOR ENTITY USERS AND NO LATER THAN 30 DAYS FOR CONSUMER USERS AFTER THE DATE YOU ACCEPT THE USER AGREEMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME. YOU MUST MAIL THE OPT-OUT NOTICE TO MURRAY’S CARBS, 259 BREWER ROAD, LEXINGTON, NC 27295 ATTN: LEGAL DEPARTMENT, RE: OPT-OUT NOTICE.

You must complete the Opt Out Notice by providing your name, address (including street address, city, state and zip code), and the user ID(s) and email address(es) associated with the MURRAY’S CARBS account(s) to which the opt-out applies. You must sign and date the Opt-Out Notice for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way you can opt-out of the Agreement to Arbitrate. If you opt-out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, all other parts of the Agreement and its Resolution of Disputes Section will continue to apply to you.

(6)  Future Changes to the Agreement to Arbitrate – Notwithstanding any provision in the UA to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make any change to this Agreement to Arbitrate (other than a change to any notice address or site link provided herein) in the future, that change shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against MURRAY’S CARBS prior to the effective date of the change. The change shall apply to all other disputes or claims governed by the Agreement to Arbitrate that have arisen or may arise between you and us. We will notify you of changes to this Agreement to Arbitrate by posting the amended terms on the Site at least 30 days before the effective date of the changes. If you do not agree to the amended terms, you may close your account and you will not be bound by the new terms.

C. Judicial Forum for Legal Disputes: Unless you and we agree otherwise, the arbitration shall be conducted in Davidson County, NC, and claims regarding the judgment of the arbitrator (including entry of judgment on the arbitration award) may be brought and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and federal courts located in Davidson County, NC, and you waive any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum objections to such courts. In the event that the Agreement to Arbitrate above is found to not apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, either as a result of your decision to opt-out of the Agreement to Arbitrate or as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, you agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and Niche will be brought exclusively in a state or federal court located in Davidson County, NC. You and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Davidson County, NC for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
