TERMS & CONDITIONS
KANSASEXP Terms of Service
The following Terms of Service Agreement (the “TOS”) is a legally binding agreement that governs the relationship between KansasExp, LLC (“KE” or “we”), located at 1441 Broadway, Suite 2301, New York, NY 10018 (as well as our subsidiaries and affiliates) and our users in connection with the use of the website located at www.alitaexperience.com (the “Site”), or the other current and future online and mobile websites, platforms, services, applications, and networks owned or operated by KansasExp and its affiliates (the Site and these other websites, platforms, services, applications and networks constituting the “Service”).
- ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
PLEASE READ THIS TOS CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU HEREBY AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS IN THIS TOS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IN THIS TOS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE.
- USE OF THE SERVICE
- User Accounts; Registration. Any and all users of the Service, whether they are registered account holders or not, are considered “users” of the Service for purposes of this TOS. Once an individual registers for the Service and creates an account through the Service (“Account”), the user is then be considered a “member.” Please see the discussion below as to restrictions on who may create an Account and otherwise access our Services. To register and become a member of the Service, you must be at least 13 years of age. No one under the age of 13 may create an account or otherwise become a member of the Service. In addition, you must be in good standing and not an individual that has been previously barred from receiving KansasExp’s services under the laws and statutes of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. Individuals under the age of majority may become “users” of the Services but only under the circumstances described in these Terms of Service and the incorporated Privacy Policy.
- Affirmative Representations Regarding Your Use of the Service. When you use the Service, you represent that (i) you will furnish factual, correct, current and complete information with regard to yourself as may be requested by any potential data registration process on the Site, (ii) you will maintain and promptly update your registration and profile information in an effort to maintain its accuracy and completeness at all times if your profile exists on the Site, (iii) your use of the Service and your use of services available on the Service do not violate any applicable law or regulation, and (iv) you are 13 years of age or older. If you knowingly provide any a false, untrue, inaccurate or incomplete information, KANSASEXP will have the right to suspend or terminate your Account (and your right to use the Service), and to prohibit your further use of (or refuse to accept any attempt to use) the Service, or any portion thereof.
- Use of the Service by Minors. It is KANSASEXP’s priority to ensure the safety and privacy of all its visitors, users and members of the Service, especially that of children. Accordingly, children under the age of 13 are prohibited from creating Accounts and otherwise using the online Service. The online Service and our offerings are not targeted towards children under the age of 13. All individuals who wish to participate in the walk-around immersive experiences that we offer at Immersive Locations and other venues (“ILs”) are required to establish an Account. Since children under the age of 13 are not allowed to create their own Account, a parent or legal guardian may create an Account for himself/herself that additionally identifies the name of one or more minor(s) under their legal control. While the inclusion of the name of a minor(s) on the Account of a parent or legal guardian will be sufficient to enable the applicable minor(s) to access immersive experiences at an IL (subject to any other conditions of admittance, including the provision of a Release of Liability (“Acknowledgement and Express Assumption of Risk and Release of Liability”) signed by a parent or legal guardian), the parent or legal guardian expressly agrees that the applicable minor(s) will not otherwise be allowed to access the Account of the parent or legal guardian or access any of the Services offered to members.

- LEGAL DISPUTES AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
Please Read This Following Clause Carefully - It May Significantly Affect Your Legal Rights, Including Your Right to File a Lawsuit in Court
- Initial Dispute Resolution. We are available by email at info@kansasexp.com to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of the Service. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. Each of you and KANSASEXP agree to use best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
- Agreement to Binding Arbitration. If we do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to Section 19(A) above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration. All claims arising out of or relating to this TOS (including their formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Service, including claims involving KANSASEXP partners and/or licensors, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered on a confidential basis by JAMS, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. Each party will have the right to use legal counsel in connection with arbitration at its own expense. The parties shall select a single neutral arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. 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 this TOS, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this TOS is void or voidable. 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 in writing and provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions, shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The interpretation and enforcement of this TOS shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act.
The JAMS rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures. If you initiate arbitration, to the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds Two Hundred and Fifty U.S. Dollars ($250.00), we will pay the additional cost. If we are required to pay the additional cost of the filing fees, you should submit a request for payment of fees to JAMS along with your form for initiating the arbitration, and we will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to JAMS. We will also be responsible for paying all other arbitration costs arising in connection with the arbitration other than costs incurred by you for legal counsel, travel and other out-of-pocket costs and expenses not constituting fees or amounts payable to JAMS. You will not be required to pay fees and costs incurred by KANSASEXP if you do not prevail in arbitration.
The parties understand that, absent this mandatory 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.
- Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver. You and KANSASEXP each further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in your respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and you and KANSASEXP each expressly waive your respective right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. You also expressly waive your right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis for any claims related to partners or licensors of KANSASEXP. 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 provision set forth above in Section 23(B) shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
- Exception - Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may 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 in Sections 23(B), 23C), and 23(D) by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following email: info@kansasexp.com. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of registering to use the Service, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those sections. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.
- Exclusive Venue for Litigation. To the extent that the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 19(B) do not apply, the parties agree that any litigation between them shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in the County of New York, New York (except for small claims court actions which may be brought in the county where you reside). The parties expressly consent to exclusive jurisdiction in the County of New York, New York for any litigation other than small claims court actions.
- Applicable Law. You agree that federal laws and the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms of Service and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and KANSASEXP.
- NOTICE TO NEW JERSEY USERS
Notwithstanding any terms set forth in this TOS, if any of the provisions set forth in Sections 14 or 21 are held unenforceable, void or inapplicable under New Jersey law, then any such provision shall not apply to you but the rest of this TOS shall remain binding on you and KANSASEXP. In addition, for New Jersey residents, the limitation on liability is inapplicable where attorneys’ fees, court costs, or other damages are mandated by statute. Notwithstanding any provision in this TOS, nothing in this TOS is intended to, nor shall it be deemed or construed to, limit any rights available to you under the Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Warranty and Notice Act.
