BIBDIBZ Terms of Service and User Agreement
Last Updated: December 31, 2015
Welcome to BIBDIBZ! By accessing or using our website (the ‘Site’), our mobile applications and associated services (collectively, the ‘Services’), you agree to be bound by the BIBDIBZ User Agreement (“Agreement”). Our User Privacy Notice, Seller Policies, and all other policies applicable to your use of the Site are incorporated by reference into this Agreement (collectively, the “Additional Policies”). We may periodically make changes to this Agreement (indicated by the date above), which will be posted on the Site and become effective fifteen (15) days following posting for current users, or immediately for new users. Your continued use of the Site indicates your acceptance of the changes to the Agreement. Changes to the Additional Policies, except the User Privacy Notice, may be made from time to time without notice and your continued use of the Site or Service constitutes your acceptance of the modified terms of the Additional Policies. You are contracting with BIBDIBZ (“BIBDIBZ”).
1. USING BIBDIBZ
BIB MARKETPLACE.
BIBDIBZ is a marketplace that allows users to buy (“Buyers”) and sell (“Sellers”) race entries (“bibs” or “bibz”), related passes and merchandise or other goods (collectively, the “bibs” or “bibz”) for race events. As a marketplace, BIBDIBZ does not own the bibs on the Site nor does it set prices for bibs. Because sellers set bib prices, they may be higher than initial registration fee paid.
While BIBDIBZ may provide pricing, shipping, listing and other guidance in our Services, such guidance is solely informational and you may decide to follow it or not. Also, while we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes, BIBDIBZ has no control over and does not guarantee the existence, quality, safety or legality of the items advertised; the truth or accuracy of the user’s content or listings; the ability of Sellers to sell bibs or Buyers to pay for them; or that a Buyer or Seller will complete a transaction.
YOUR ACCOUNT.
You must create an account to list, sell or purchase bibs and you must have a valid credit card or debit card on file. BIBDIBZ also accepts payment by PayPal. You acknowledge that BIBDIBZ may charge any one of your payment methods on file for amounts you owe us, costs we incur or other losses arising out of your violation of this Agreement (including the Additional Policies).
FEES.
We may charge service, shipping, delivery, fulfillment or other fees for using our Services (collectively referred to as ‘Fees’). BIBDIBZ reserves the right in its sole discretion to change Fees at any time as it deems appropriate, including after you list your bibs.
In addition, we may collect amounts owed using a collection agency or other collection mechanism and you may be charged fees associated with collecting the delinquent payments. BIBDIBZ, or the collection agency it retains, may also report information about your account to credit bureaus, and as a result, defaults in your account may be reflected in your credit report. If you wish to dispute the information BIBDIBZ reported to a credit bureau, contact BIBDIBZ. If you wish to dispute the information a collection agency reported, contact the collection agency directly.
LISTING BIBS.
Pricing bibs is the sole responsibility of, and at the sole discretion of, Sellers and must be done in accordance with all applicable laws. Under no circumstances may you list speculative bibs. Please refer to the Seller Policies for other requirements when listing bibs.
COMMITMENT TO SUPPLY.
By listing a bib for sale, you are making a binding offer to sell that bib to a Buyer who purchases the bib for the price you have specified. When a Buyer accepts your offer by purchasing your bib through our Site or Services, you are contractually bound to deliver that exact bib for the specified price and within the required delivery timeframe. Under no circumstances may Sellers cancel orders at one price and repost the same bib for a higher price. Failure to fulfill your orders will lead to charges as stated in the Seller Policies.
TAXES.
You are solely responsible for the payment of any applicable taxes resulting from your bib sales.
SITE CHANGES AND AVAILABILITY.
BIBDIBZ reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Site, the Services, or any part of the Site or Services with or without notice for any reason. BIBDIBZ performs regularly scheduled maintenance. While we do our best to avoid customer impact, the Site or our Services may be temporarily unavailable during maintenance periods.
BUYING BIBS.
You are responsible for reading the complete listing before making a commitment to buy bibs. When placing an order, you are entering into a binding contract with the Seller to purchase those bibs. Payment is remitted to BIBDIBZ and disbursed to the seller according to our payment policy. All Sales are Final. Except for cancelled race events, you will not receive a refund for completed purchases. You cannot change or cancel any orders after the sale is complete.
BIB TRANSFERS AND TRANSFER FEES.
BIBDIBZ does not oversee bib transfers from seller to buyer. Seller will make all necessary communication with Race Director (“RD”) to facilitate bib transfer into buyer’s name. If there is a transfer fee applicable from the RD, the buyer will pay the transfer fee directly to the RD.
BIB DELIVERY TO BUYER.
Upon the completion of a bib purchase, the seller must contact the race director to assure the bib is transferred to the buyer’s name. Seller should send any information required from the race director to the buyer and vice versa
UNAUTHORIZED BIB TRANSFERS.
BIBDIBZ does allow the listing of untransferable bibs however, we will not be held responsible for the buying or selling of bibs that result in a participant using a bib registered to someone else. Bibs to events that will not authorize bib transfers will be clearly indicated on the bib listing. Due to the nature of unauthorized bib transfers, seller will need to meet buyer to transfer bib, merchandise, and other goods before the race. BIBDIBZ has no control over and does not guarantee the safety of person to person bib transfers.
RACE DIRECTORS.
As a race director or race event staff, you agree not to use this site to investigate unauthorized bib sales or transfers. You also agree not to hold buyers or sellers liable for possible breaches of race event’s terms and conditions and/or participation agreements.
EVENT INJURIES.
BIBDIBZ has no control over and does not oversee race events, thus can not guarantee the safety of the event nor the health of you as a participant. You as a buyer must submit any Liability Waiver required by the Race Director (“RD”) to the event staff of said event before participation. You as a buyer must fill out emergency contact and medical information on the back of bib.
EVENT CANCELLATIONS, POSTPONEMENT, AND OTHER EVENT CHANGES.
Cancellation: If an event is cancelled, we will remove the relevant listings and email you about the cancellation. The Buyer will receive a full refund and the Seller will, if he received payment, be charged the amount he received for the original sale.
Postponement: If an event is postponed and rescheduled, BIBDIBZ will work with Buyers on a case-by-case basis attempting to resolve any bib issues. Sellers cannot resell, invalidate or change the bibs for the rescheduled event.

7. AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE LEGAL DISPUTES WITH BIBDIBZ.
You and BIBDIBZ each agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and BIBDIBZ relating in any way to or arising out of this or previous versions of the User Agreement, your use of or access to BIBDIBZ’s Site or Services, or any bibs or related passes sold or purchased through BIBDIBZ’s Site or Services shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate.
(a) Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
YOU AND BIBDIBZ AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND BIBDIBZ AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER BIBDIBZ USERS.
(b) Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual; and an arbitrator must also follow the terms of the User Agreement, as a court would.
All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to arbitrability, the scope or enforceability of this Agreement to Arbitrate, or the interpretation of Section 1 of this Agreement to Arbitrate (“Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief”), shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement to Arbitrate, any part of it, or of the User Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate or the User Agreement is void or voidable.
The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (‘AAA’) under its rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a completed form Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). You may download a form Notice. A Notice to BIBDIBZ should be emailed to legal@bibdibz.com. BIBDIBZ will send any Notice to you to the physical address we have on file associated with your BIBDIBZ account; it is your responsibility to keep your physical address up to date. All information called for in the Notice must be provided, including a description of the nature and basis of the claims the party is asserting and the relief sought.
If you and BIBDIBZ are unable to resolve the claims described in the Notice within 30 days after the Notice is sent, you or BIBDIBZ may initiate arbitration proceedings. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA’s website at www.adr.org.
(c) Costs of Arbitration
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, at your request, BIBDIBZ will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. Any request for payment of fees by BIBDIBZ should be submitted by mail to the AAA along with your Demand for Arbitration and BIBDIBZ will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to the AAA. If the value of the relief sought is more than $10,000 and you are able to demonstrate that the costs of accessing arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of accessing a court for purposes of pursuing litigation on an individual basis, BIBDIBZ will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the costs of accessing arbitration from being prohibitive. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you agree to reimburse BIBDIBZ for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by BIBDIBZ on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA’s rules.
(d) Severability
With the exception of any of the provisions in subsection (a) of this Agreement to Arbitrate (‘Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief’), if an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply. If an arbitrator or court decides that any of the provisions in subsection (a) of this Agreement to Arbitrate (‘Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief’) is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall be null and void. The remainder of the User Agreement will continue to apply.
(e) Opt-Out Procedure
You can choose to reject this Agreement to Arbitrate (‘opt out’) by mailing us a written opt-out notice (‘Opt-Out Notice’). The Opt-Out Notice must be postmarked no later than 30 days after the date you accept the User Agreement for the first time. You must email the Opt-Out Notice to legal@bibdibz.com.
For your convenience, we are providing an Opt-Out Notice form you must complete and mail to opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate. You must complete the Opt-Out Notice form by providing the information called for in the form, including your name, address (including street number and address, city, state, and zip code), phone number and the email address(es) used to log in to the BIBDIBZ account(s) to which the opt-out applies. You must sign the Opt-Out Notice for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate. If you opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, all other parts of the User Agreement will continue to apply. Opting out of this Agreement to Arbitrate has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with us.
(f) Future Amendments to the Agreement to Arbitrate
Notwithstanding any provision in the User Agreement to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make any amendment to this Agreement to Arbitrate (other than a change to any notice address or website link provided herein) in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding between you and BIBDIBZ prior to the effective date of the change. The amendment shall apply to all other disputes or claims governed by the Agreement to Arbitrate that have arisen or may arise between you and BIBDIBZ. We will notify you of amendments to this Agreement to Arbitrate by posting the amended terms on http://www.BIBDIBZ.com at least thirty (30) days before the effective date of the amendments and by sending notice via email to your email address on file with us. If you do not agree to the amended terms, you may close your account within the thirty (30) day period and you will not be bound by the amended terms.

Except as otherwise stated, the Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.

In entering into this release you expressly waive any protections (whether statutory or otherwise – e.g., California Civil Code § 1542) that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims, which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.
11. INDEMNIFICATION
