Introduction

Please read these Xumo Platform Terms of Use (this “Agreement”) carefully.  Comcast Cable Communications, LLC (collectively, “Comcast,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides the Xumo platform (the “Xumo Platform”). This Agreement governs your use of the Xumo Platform, which is designed to access and play digital content on a compatible Internet-connected streaming device (e.g., streaming box, smart television) together with an associated voice-controlled remote control (“Xumo Device”). The Xumo Platform includes any operating system, user interface, and remote-control software and firmware provided by Comcast that may be pre-installed on your Xumo Device or may be provided from time to time as a software update, and also includes any mobile application, voice assistant plug-in, or other software that Comcast or any affiliate may provide for use on a device other than a Xumo Device but which is designed to control a Xumo Device (a “Xumo Control App”). The terms of this Agreement apply to your use of the Xumo Platform, and you acknowledge by accessing or using the Xumo Platform that you have read this Agreement, understand it, and agree to be bound by its terms. You acknowledge that you are accepting this Agreement on behalf of all persons who use the Xumo Platform on your Xumo Device or through a Xumo Control App connected to your Xumo Device.  You are solely responsible for ensuring that all other users of the Xumo Platform on your Xumo Device or through your instance of a Xumo Control App understand and comply with this Agreement. You are liable for all unauthorized use of the Xumo Platform on your Xumo Device or through a Xumo Control App. If you do not understand or agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you must not access or use the Xumo Platform. If you decide not to use or access the Xumo Platform, you may be able to return your Xumo Device if permitted by the applicable device return policy.

Note: THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION IN SECTION 16 OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO ALL SERVICES. UNLESS YOU HAVE OPTED OUT IN A TIMELY MANNER, THE ARBITRATION PROVISION REQUIRES THAT ALL DISPUTES BE RESOLVED IN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT PROCEEDINGS. IN ARBITRATION, THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY AND THERE IS LESS DISCOVERY AND APPELLATE REVIEW THAN IN COURT. 

In order to make certain purchases on the Xumo Platform, you must create a Xumo Platform account and password. Comcast, in its discretion, shall determine which features and functionality to make available through the Xumo Platform, and you acknowledge and agree that Comcast can change the features, availability, and functionality at any time with no notice to you. You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age and that you have provided us with information that is accurate, complete, and current. For example, as part of the Xumo Platform account creation process, you must provide us with your accurate, complete, and current legal name, email address, and method of payment. You must also provide accurate information when authorizing recurring payments. You agree to promptly update your provided contact information to keep it accurate and complete. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE ACCURACY OF YOUR INFORMATION FOR SO LONG AS YOU HAVE AN ACTIVE XUMO PLATFORM ACCOUNT. FAILURE TO DO SO IS A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT. 

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE YOUR USE OF THE XUMO PLATFORM AND YOUR XUMO PLATFORM ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY IN THE EVENT WE DETERMINE THAT 1) YOUR USE OF THE XUMO PLATFORM IS IN VIOLATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU CREATE AN ACCOUNT WITH FALSE INFORMATION, 2) YOUR XUMO PLATFORM ACCOUNT HAS BEEN HACKED, STOLEN, OR COMPROMISED, OR 3) CONTENT YOU ACCESS IS NOT PROPERLY AUTHORIZED OR LICENSED IN YOUR COUNTRY, VIOLATES APPLICABLE LAW, OR HAS BEEN IMPROPERLY PROVIDED TO YOU. WE MAY ALSO SUSPEND (OR TERMINATE) YOUR USE OF THE XUMO PLATFORM AND YOUR XUMO PLATFORM ACCOUNT IF WE BELIEVE IT IS NECESSARY TO PROTECT COMCAST, OUR AFFILIATES, OUR BUSINESS PARTNERS, OUR PERSONNEL, OTHER USERS OF THE XUMO PLATFORM OR A CONTENT PROVIDER FROM WHAT WE BELIEVE TO BE UNAUTHORIZED ACTIVITY.

Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding/Selection of Arbitrator.

Either you or we may initiate an arbitration proceeding by opening a case with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) by visiting its website (www.adr.org). You may deliver any required or desired notice to us by mail to: Comcast, 1701 John F. Kennedy Boulevard, Philadelphia, PA 19103-2838 – ATTN: LEGAL DEPARTMENT/ARBITRATION.

Right to Sue in Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding anything in this Arbitration Provision to the contrary, either you or we may elect to have a Dispute heard in a United States small claims court in the area where you use the Xumo Platform and where your Xumo Device is located, if the claim(s) underlying the Dispute is not aggregated with the claim(s) of any other person and if the amount in controversy is properly within the jurisdiction of the small claims court.

Arbitration Procedures. Any arbitration under this Arbitration Provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Arbitrations shall be administered by the AAA pursuant to the most recent version of its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) as modified by the version of this Arbitration Provision that is in effect when you notify us about your Dispute. You can obtain the AAA Rules from the AAA by visiting its website (www.adr.org). If there is a conflict between this Arbitration Provision and the rest of this Agreement, this Arbitration Provision shall govern. If there is a conflict between this Arbitration Provision and the AAA Rules, this Arbitration Provision shall govern. If the AAA will not administer a proceeding under this Arbitration Provision as written, you and we shall agree on a substitute arbitration organization. If you and we cannot agree, you and we shall mutually petition a court of appropriate jurisdiction to appoint an arbitration organization that will administer a proceeding under this Arbitration Provision, as written, applying the AAA Rules. A single arbitrator will resolve the Dispute. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any arbitration hearing will take place at a location convenient to you in the area where you use the Xumo Platform and where your Xumo Device is located. If you no longer use the Xumo Platform when you notify us of your Dispute, then any arbitration hearing will take place at a location convenient to you in the county where you reside when you notify us of your Dispute, provided that we offer the Xumo Platform in that county, or in the area where you used the Xumo Platform and where your Xumo Device is located from us at the time of the events giving rise to your Dispute. The arbitrator will honor claims of privilege recognized by law and will take reasonable steps to protect customer account information and other confidential or proprietary information. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision that explains the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions. The arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties only if necessary for purposes of enforcing the arbitrator’s award. An arbitrator’s award that has been fully satisfied shall not be entered in any court.

Waiver of Class, Collective, and Representative Actions/Relief. THERE SHALL BE NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED (I) ON A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR OTHER JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS, OR (II) ON BASES INVOLVING CLAIMS BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC (SUCH AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL), OTHER SUBSCRIBERS, OR OTHER PERSONS. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT INDIVIDUAL PARTY’S CLAIM, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT AWARD RELIEF FOR OR AGAINST OR ON BEHALF OF ANYONE WHO IS NOT A PARTY. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OTHER JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER OF CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OTHER JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS AND RELIEF IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CANNOT BE SEVERED FROM IT. THE REMAINING PORTIONS OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION ARE NOT ESSENTIAL PARTS OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CAN BE SEVERED FROM IT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.

Arbitral Fees and Costs. If your claim seeks more than $75,000 in the aggregate, the payment of the AAA’s fees and costs will be governed by the AAA Rules. If your claims seek less than $75,000 in the aggregate, the payment of the AAA’s fees and costs will be Comcast’s responsibility, so long as you have fully complied with the requirements of this Section 16 for any arbitration you initiated. However, if the arbitrator finds that your Dispute was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), the payment of the AAA’s fees and costs shall be governed by the AAA Rules, and you shall reimburse us for all fees and costs that were your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. You may hire an attorney to represent you in arbitration. You are responsible for your attorneys’ fees and additional costs. You may only recover your attorneys’ fees and costs in the arbitration if the arbitration is decided in your favor and to the extent that you could have recovered those fees in court in accordance with the law or statute(s) that apply to the case. You and we agree that the parties have a mutual interest in reducing the costs and increasing the efficiency of arbitration, and as such, either party may negotiate with the AAA for lower fees and costs and for streamlined or other procedures designed to reduce the costs and increase the efficiency of arbitration.  Notwithstanding anything in this Arbitration Provision to the contrary, we will pay all fees and costs that we are required by law to pay.

Survival. This Arbitration Provision shall survive the termination of your use of the Xumo Platform with us.

17. Waiver of Jury Trial

WHETHER ANY DISPUTE IS RESOLVED IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION, YOU AND WE AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RELATION TO THE DISPUTE.

18. Indemnification

YOU AGREE TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD US AND EACH RELEASED ENTITY HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS) INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIMS, SUITS, JUDGMENTS, AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF (a) YOUR USE OF THE XUMO PLATFORM OR THE XUMO DEVICE; (b) YOUR ACTUAL OR ALLEGED VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAW; (c) YOUR FAILURE TO NOTIFY US OF A CHANGE IN OR THE INACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION YOU PROVIDED (INCLUDING, FOR EXAMPLE, CLAIMS UNDER THE TELEPHONE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT AND RELATED REGULATIONS); AND (d) YOUR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY APPLICABLE POLICIES. YOUR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS WILL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
