8. Dispute Resolution and Agreement to Arbitrate

Except where and to the extent prohibited by law, by using the Services, you and Spark 718 Inc. agree that, if there is any controversy, claim, action, or dispute arising out of or related to your use of the Services or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Privacy Policy or any part of it (“Dispute”), both parties shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute. Notice shall be sent to:

  • Spark 718 Inc., PH Gran Plaza, Oficina C-1, Calle Andres Mojica, San Francisco, Ciudad de Panama, Republica de Panama, or
  • You, at the address we have on file for you.

Both you and Spark 718 Inc. agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any litigation or filing any claim against the other party. IF ANY DISPUTE CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY THE ABOVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE, YOU AGREE THAT THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION FOR SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE, AND YOU WAIVE, THE RIGHT FOR A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN A CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED CAPACITY. Other rights that you and we would otherwise have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including discovery and appeal rights. All such disputes shall be exclusively submitted to JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) for binding arbitration under its rules then in effect, before one arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by both parties.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Privacy Policy, including any claim that all or any part of this Privacy Policy is void or voidable.

9. Choice of Law

This Privacy Policy has been made in and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of California, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles. Any disputes or claims not subject to the arbitration provision discussed above shall be resolved by a court located in California and you agree and submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim or action.

10. Assignment

In the event that all or part of our assets are sold or acquired by another party, or in the event of a merger, you grant us the right to assign the personal information collected via the Service.

11. Your California Privacy Rights

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits users who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please email us using the contact information provided below and put “Shine the Light” in the subject line of your request.

From January 1, 2021, many California consumers now have the following rights:

  • Right to know

You have the right to request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, as well as the categories of sources from which such information is collected, the purpose for collecting such information, and the categories of third parties with whom we share such information.

You also have the right to request information about our sale or disclosure for business purposes of your personal information to third parties in the preceding 12 months.

You may also request a copy of the personal information we have collected, and upon request, we will provide this information to you in electronic form.

  • Right to delete

You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.

  • Right to opt-out of sale

You have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information to third parties. Note that some of the third parties to whom we sell your personal information may also sell the personal information that they receive from us. You can exercise this right through the webform “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link in the footer of our websites. We do not sell the personal information of minors under the age of 16 without affirmative authorization.

  • Right to non-discrimination

You have the right to not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.

If you would like to exercise one or more of the rights above, please contact us using the contact information provided below. If you are emailing, please write “Data Subject Request” as your subject line, and explicitly state which right you are exercising in the body of the email. If using the webform, then explicitly state which right you are exercising within the body of the description section. You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. Such authorized agent must be registered with the California Secretary of State. We may deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf.

When submitting a request, we may need to take certain steps to ensure that we are receiving a verifiable consumer request before completing your request, and, for example, may ask for you to confirm data points we already have about you. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request. Whenever feasible for verification, we will match the identifying information provided by you to the personal information already maintained by us. If, however, we cannot verify your identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request additional information.

12. How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals

We do not support “Do Not Track” browser settings and do not currently participate in any Do Not Track frameworks that would allow us to respond to signals or other mechanisms from you regarding the collection of your personal information.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will also revise the “Last Updated” date at the top. If we make material changes, we will notify you by placing a prominent notice on our Service or emailing you at the email address we have on file for you. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to keep up to date on how we are handling your personal information.
