If you have a dispute with or claim against Gear Patrol, you must first give us an opportunity to resolve your claim informally by sending a written description of your claim to [email protected]. You and Gear Patrol each agree to negotiate in good faith.

JURY TRIAL WAIVER. YOU AND GEAR PATROL EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM.
Injunctive Relief. You acknowledge and agree that a breach by you of your obligations under the “Content; Intellectual Property”, “Eligibility” or “Access to and Use of Content”, sections of these Terms could cause Gear Patrol irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy.

8. GENERAL PROVISIONS
Assignment. You are prohibited from assigning these Terms to a third party without the prior written consent of Gear Patrol. Gear Patrol may assign these Terms and/or its rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without notice to you or your consent: (i) in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of substantially all of our assets, or (ii) to an affiliate of Gear Patrol. Subject to the foregoing restrictions on assignment, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of you and Gear Patrol.
Severability. If any part of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that part may be severed to the minimum extent necessary to cure such invalidity or unenforceability, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Amendment. We reserve the right to amend these Terms at our discretion and at any time. When we do, we will post the revised Terms on the Platform with a new “Last Updated” date. We may, but are not required to, absent legally mandated notice requirements, also provide you with notice of the amended Terms via any other means we consider reasonable, including, without limitation, email. Your continued use of the Platform following the posting of changes (or other notice we provide in our sole discretion) constitutes your acceptance of such changes. In the event of a material change requiring legally mandated notice, we may provide 30-day notice via any means we consider reasonable, including, without limitation, email. We may, but are not required to, also provide you with alternative means of accepting any changes to or an amended version of these Terms. We encourage you to visit this page regularly for any changes.
Waiver. You or Gear Patrol may waive any provision of these Terms in writing signed by both parties. Any failure to insist on or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms or any of its rights is not a waiver of any provision or right.
Notices. You may deliver notices to Gear Patrol by email to [email protected]. If you are commencing a legal proceeding against Gear Patrol, we do not accept notice or service via email and you must serve us with legal process as required by applicable law. Gear Patrol may deliver notices to you via email or by posting notice on the Platform using the contact information in your account. Electronic notices are considered delivered when sent or posted.
