1. What Does this Agreement Cover?
RingCentral Video is a cloud-based unified communications service that includes chat, video, mobile and desktop apps, and web clients that integrate with a growing list of applications. Collectively, all of these things qualify as the “Service” covered by this Agreement. Put another way, Your use of or access to the Service is governed by this Agreement. If you use other RingCentral products or services, besides RC Video, your use of those additional products or services may be subject to separate terms. This Agreement covers the RC Video Service offered as both a recurring subscription service and a free service.
Please note that when you integrate RC Video with a third-party application (in other words, an application that We don’t own or run), this Agreement does not apply to Your use of the third-party application, and RingCentral does not control the terms of Your relationship with that third party. Be sure to carefully review the relevant terms and privacy notices provided by the third party before You use an integration.
When You read through this Agreement, You’ll notice that some terms are capitalized. Take a look at the last section of this Agreement for definitions of those capitalized terms.

RINGCENTRAL WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ACTIONS REASONABLY TAKEN TO COMPLY WITH LAW.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, RingCentral’s total liability to you in connection with all disputes arising from this agreement shall not exceed the amount you have paid to RingCentral for access to and use of the Service with respect to the relevant time period giving rise to the dispute or $10, whichever is greater.

9. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
A. CONSENT TO BINDING ARBITRATION AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SMALL CLAIMS COURT
YOU AND RINGCENTRAL BOTH AGREE TO RESOLVE DISPUTES ONLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION OR BY FILING A CLAIM IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY ENTERING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO BRING A CLAIM IN ANY OTHER COURT.
WHILE THE PROCEDURES MAY BE DIFFERENT, AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD YOU THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF, AND MUST HONOR THE SAME TERMS IN THIS AGREEMENT, AS A COURT WOULD. IF THE LAW ALLOWS FOR AN AWARD OF ATTORNEYS' FEES, AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD THEM TOO. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO RIGHT FOR A CASE TO BE DECIDED BY A JURY IN ARBITRATION.
SMALL CLAIMS COURTS DO NOT TYPICALLY ALLOW FOR JURY TRIALS, LIMIT THE REMEDIES YOU HAVE ACCESS TO, AND APPLY DIFFERENT PROCEDURES THAN OTHER TYPES OF COURT.
B. ARBITRABILITY OF DISPUTES
THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT APPLIES TO THIS AGREEMENT. EXCEPT FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT CASES, ANY DISPUTE THAT IN ANY WAY RELATES TO OR ARISES OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR FROM ANY EQUIPMENT, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES YOU RECEIVE FROM US, OR FROM ANY ADVERTISING FOR ANY SUCH PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, OR FROM OUR EFFORTS TO COLLECT AMOUNTS YOU MAY OWE US FOR SUCH PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY DISPUTES YOU HAVE WITH OUR EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS AND ANY DISPUTES ABOUT WHETHER A PARTICULAR CLAIM MUST BE HEARD BY AN ARBITRATOR, WILL BE RESOLVED BY ONE OR MORE NEUTRAL ARBITRATORS BEFORE THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION ("AAA"). YOU CAN ALSO BRING ANY ISSUES YOU MAY HAVE TO THE ATTENTION OF FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, AND IF THE LAW ALLOWS, THEY CAN SEEK RELIEF AGAINST US FOR YOU. THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE CONTINUES TO APPLY EVEN AFTER YOU HAVE STOPPED RECEIVING SERVICE FROM US.
C. APPLICABLE RULES
Unless you and RingCentral agree otherwise, the arbitration or small claims court proceeding will take place in the county of your registration address. If a dispute proceeds in arbitration, the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply. You can get procedures, rules and fee information from the AAA (www.adr.org) or by contacting us. For claims of $10,000 or less filed by You, You can choose whether you’d like the arbitration carried out based only on documents submitted to the arbitrator, or by a hearing in person or by phone.
D. CLASS WAIVER
THIS AGREEMENT DOESN'T ALLOW CLASS OR COLLECTIVE ARBITRATIONS OR SUITS EVEN IF THE AAA, OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT PROCEDURES OR RULES WOULD. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, AN ARBITRATOR OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT MAY AWARD MONEY 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. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL THEORIES OF LIABILITY OR PRAYERS FOR RELIEF MAY BE MAINTAINED IN ANY ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT PROCEEDING HELD UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. ANY QUESTION REGARDING THE ENFORCEABILITY OR INTERPRETATION OF THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE DECIDED BY A U.S. DISTRICT COURT.
IF FOR SOME REASON THIS CLASS WAIVER CANNOT BE ENFORCED AS TO ALL OR PART OF A DISPUTE AND A CLASS IS PERMITTED TO PROCEED, ANY SUCH CLASS ACTION MAY NOT BE BROUGHT IN ARBITRATION AND MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN SAN MATEO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
E. NOTICE OF INTENT TO ARBITRATE
If either You or We intend to seek arbitration, the Party seeking arbitration must first notify the other party of the dispute in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration. The notice must describe the nature of the claim and the relieve being sought. If we are unable to resolve our disputed within 30 days, either party may then proceed to file a claim for arbitration. RingCentral will reimburse any filing fees that the AAA charges you for the arbitration of the dispute. If you provide us with signed written notice that you cannot pay the filing fee, RingCentral will pay the fee directly. If the arbitration proceeds, we will also pay any administrative and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was filed in bad faith.
NOTICE TO RINGCENTRAL SHOULD BE SENT TO:
RINGCENTRAL LEGAL, 20 DAVIS DR., BELMONT, CA 94002
F. INADMISSIBILITY OF ARBITRATION AWARD
An arbitration award and any judgment confirming it apply only to that specific case. You understand and agree that it can’t be used in any other case except to enforce the award itself.
G. JURY WAIVER
IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN A COURT RATHER THAN THROUGH ARBITRATION, YOU AND RINGCENTRAL AGREE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND RINGCENTRAL UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY WAY.

The failure by either Party to exercise or enforce any right conferred by this Agreement will not be deemed to be a waiver of any such right or to operate so as to bar the exercise or enforcement of any such or other right on any later occasion. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, all rights and remedies stated in the Agreement are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies available under the Agreement, at Law, or in equity.
G. Eligibility and Execution
