This Product Use and License Agreement (“Agreement”) is made between Arditi Holdings LLC (DBA Boat Innovation) (“Product Provider”) and you, the end user (“You”), in connection with Your use of the Automatic Fender App and the Automatic Fender™ (collectively, the “Product”).
The Automatic Fender eliminates the need to climb on the hull to deploy fenders, significantly reducing the risk of falling or injury while docking! Now one can dock without leaving the cockpit, improving safety and eliminating hassle. The fenders are stored horizontally under the railing, almost invisible eliminating the need for fender Baskets or other fender storage.
The Automatic Fender™ Care and Operation Instructions contains important information on personal safety and property damage.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT YOU MAY NOT ACCESS, USE OR INSTALL ANY PART OF THE PRODUCT.

16. Arbitration. You and the Product Provider agree that any dispute or claim in law or in equity arising out of this Agreement shall be decided in Contra Cost County, California, by a single arbitrator in neutral binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, and not by court action, except as provided by California law for judicial review of arbitration proceedings. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in a court having jurisdiction thereof. Any matter involving the protection of a party’s intellectual property shall be excluded from arbitration hereunder. The filing of a judicial action to enable the recording of a notice of pending action, for order of attachment, receivership, injunction, or other provisional remedies, shall not constitute a waiver of the right to arbitrate under this provision. You and Product Provider agree to resolve any dispute that is in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not on a class, collective action, or representative basis (“Class Action Waiver”). The Arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any claim or issue any relief on any basis other than an individual basis. The Arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any claim or issue any relief on a class, collective, or representative basis. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, disputes regarding the enforceability, revocability or validity of the Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction in Contra Costa County, California, and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, or representative action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, the class, collective, and/or representative action to that extent must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the portion of the Class Action Waiver that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration.
