Disclaimer of Liability
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless (and to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law, you hereby expressly release and discharge) (i) Figma, its owners, and affiliates; (ii) the Event facility and its owners, affiliates, lessors, and lessees; and (iii) Event service contractors and security services (all of the foregoing in clauses (i) through (iii), collectively, “Event Providers”), and each of their respective officers, directors, officials, employees, agents, contractors, and representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) from and against any and all alleged and/or actual claims, actions, lawsuits, proceedings, damages, penalties, demands, losses, expenses, fees (including reasonable attorney fees), costs, or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively, “Indemnifiable Claims”), including but not limited to any Indemnifiable Claim for property damage and/or personal injury, in connection with, caused by, or arising out of the attendance at and/or participation in the Event by (A) you, (B) your Representatives (or any other party acting on your behalf), or (C) any of your agents, invitees, patrons, or guests (all of the foregoing in clauses (B) and (C), collectively, “Related Parties”), whether as a result of (i) your or any Related Party’s act, omission, negligence, or willful misconduct, (ii) your or any Related Party’s violation of any policy of, or breach or alleged breach of any agreement with, Figma or any other Event Provider, (iii) your or any Related Party’s violation of any applicable law, regulation, rule, or ordinance, (iv) your or any Related Party’s infringement of any third-party rights, including, without limitation, the infringement of any patented, trademarked, franchised, or copyrighted music, materials, devices, or dramatic rights used or incorporated in the Event by you or any Related Party, or (v) otherwise, and in each case, whether or not foreseeable. This provision shall survive any termination or expiration of these Terms.
Dispute Resolution
You and we both agree to resolve disputes related to the Event or these Terms (each, a “Claim”) in binding arbitration instead of court, except that either party may bring suit in court to enjoin the infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
What is arbitration?
Arbitration does not involve a judge or jury. Instead, a neutral person (the “arbitrator”) hears each party’s side of the dispute and makes a decision that is finally binding on both parties. The arbitrator can award the same relief as a court could, including monetary damages. While court review of an arbitration award is limited, if a party fails to comply with the arbitrator’s decision, then the other party can have the arbitration decision enforced by a court.
Can a Claim be part of a class action or similar proceeding?
NO. YOU AGREE TO RESOLVE YOUR CLAIMS WITH US SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT AS PART OF A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION. WE AGREE TO DO THE SAME, WHETHER OR NOT YOU OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION. ACCORDINGLY, UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION, YOU AND WE BOTH ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PURSUE OR HAVE A DISPUTE RESOLVED AS A PLAINTIFF OR MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION.
What rules apply in the arbitration?
The arbitration will be conducted under the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”). The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.
How will the arbitration be conducted? How much does it cost?
The arbitration will be conducted by the AAA or a comparable arbitration body in the event the AAA is unable to conduct the arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
Unless the arbitrator finds your Claim frivolous, we’ll pay for all filing, administration and arbitrator fees if your Claim is for less than $10,000, and we won’t seek our attorneys’ fees and costs if we prevail in the arbitration. The arbitration may be conducted in writing, remotely (e.g., by videoconference), in San Francisco, California, United States or at some other location that we both agree to.
How do I start an arbitration proceeding?
To begin an arbitration proceeding against us, send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your Claim to legal@figma.com, 760 Market St, Floor 10, San Francisco, CA 94102. If we request arbitration against you we will give you notice at the email address or street address you provided.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPTING-OUT OF ARBITRATION
If you don’t want to agree to arbitrate your Claims as explained above, then you can opt-out of this arbitration agreement by notifying us of your decision in writing at arbitration-opt-out@figma.com, 760 Market St, Floor 10, San Francisco, CA 94102. You must opt-out within 30 days of the date you first agree to these Terms or any updated Terms.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION IN THE ABSENCE OF ARBITRATION
The sole jurisdiction and venue for any Claims that are not handled by arbitration will be the state and U.S. federal courts located in San Francisco, California, and both parties consent to the jurisdiction of such courts. BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND FIGMA ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
This Dispute Resolution section only applies to Claims between us and individuals, and is governed by The Federal Arbitration Act.
Event Access
Figma reserves the right to terminate your access to the Event if Figma determines, in its sole discretion, that you have violated these Terms or any of the documents expressly incorporated. If your access is terminated for violating these Terms or any of the expressly incorporated documents, you will not be entitled to any refund of any kind.
Changes to These Terms
Figma may modify these Terms at any time. You agree to review these Terms and incorporated documents periodically to ensure you are aware of any changes we make. By attending or accessing the Event, you agree to any modifications Figma may make. If the modified Terms or documents are not acceptable to you, you should not attend or access the Event.
Severability and Waiver
If any of the provisions of these Terms are held to be unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, the remaining portions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. The delay or omission by either party to enforce or exercise any terms or right pursuant to these Terms will not impair any such terms or right nor be construed to be a waiver thereof and will in no way affect the other party's right later to enforce it.
