Points
OrbitYard Content and types of collaborative services are assigned a point value depending upon complexity and unique features of the content and/or services.

Point Allocations
Basic level subscribers will receive at least one (1) point upon purchasing a subscription and an additional one (1) per month in which they maintain their subscription. Developer level subscribers will receive at least three (3) points upon purchasing a subscription and an additional three (3) points in which they maintain their subscription. Changing a subscription from Basic to Developer will result in the automatic issuance of at least two (2) additional points while changing a subscription from Developer to Basic will not incur any additional points for that subscriber, but they will receive the at least one (1) point monthly according to their new subscription level. -
Separate Purchase of Points
All Basic and Developer subscribers are given the opportunity to purchase additional points at any given time. -
Point Roll-over

Internal Collaboration and Point Sharing
Only License Seats with Paid subscriptions may collaborate with one another and with OrbitYard personnel in developing User Content. Points may be shared among License Seats with Paid subscriptions within your organization in furtherance of this collaboration. -

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT CONTAINS A CLASS ACTION WAIVER, REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS, AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US. You agree that any dispute, controversy or claim between you and Dice Media Group arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach thereof, our provision of OrbitYard, your access to or use of OrbitYard, or any alleged violation of any federal, state, or local law, statute, or ordinance (each such dispute, controversy, or claim, a "Dispute") will be governed by the procedure outlined below. In the event of any Dispute between the Parties concerning the terms and provisions of these Terms, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to collect from the other Party all costs incurred in such dispute, including reasonable attorneys' fees. -
Informal Dispute Resolution
We want to address your concerns without the necessity of a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against Dice Media Group, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting launch@orbityard.com. Dice Media Group will contact you by email as part of a good faith effort to resolve the Dispute informally. If a Dispute is not resolved within 30 days after submission, you or Dice Media Group may bring a formal proceeding. -
Arbitration Agreement
You and Dice Media Group each agree to resolve any Disputes through final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States, or any other location we agree to. The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Dice Media Group may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Salt Lake City, Utah or any United States county where you live or work. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of OrbitYard, or infringement of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute resolution process described above. -
Intellectual Property Disputes
Notwithstanding the Parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court that only asserts claims for patent infringement or invalidity, copyright infringement, moral rights violations, trademark infringement, and/or trade secret misappropriation, but not, for clarity, claims related to the license granted to you for OrbitYard under these Terms. Either Party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction. -
Limitation on Claims
Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of OrbitYard must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or else that claim or cause of action will be barred forever. To the extent that the arbitration agreement is not enforceable, each party hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal, state, and local courts in Salt Lake City, Utah for resolution of any lawsuit or court proceeding permitted under these Terms.
