Registration for Membership. In order to use the Membership, you must subscribe and pay all applicable subscription fees (“Membership Fees”) when due. The Membership contract is formed when you subscribe online or through our call center and pay the initial Membership Fee (“Membership Start Date”). You agree to provide true, accurate and complete information and keep your information current and updated.
Payment of Membership Fees. You agree to pay the Membership Fees as described in these T&C and during the purchase and payment process. Any payment terms presented to you in the process of obtaining your Membership are deemed part of these T&C and are incorporated herein by reference. At checkout, you will pay the price for the Membership Fee. Essentially, the Membership Fee includes the rent of the OrCam device which include recurring payments that automatically renew. Membership Fee Billing. We may collect payments from you directly or we may use a third-party payment processor (“Payment Processor”) to bill you through a payment account on the Services (your “Billing Account”) for your Membership. The processing of payments by a Payment Processor will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of such Payment Processor in addition to these T&C. We are not responsible for any errors by a Payment Processor. By choosing to purchase a Membership, you agree to pay us, either directly or through a Payment Processor, all Membership Fees and other charges at the prices then in effect and in accordance with the applicable payment terms and you authorize us, through a Payment Processor, to charge your chosen payment provider (your “Payment Method”). You agree to make payment using your selected Payment Method. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that we or a Payment Processor make even if we or a Payment Processor have already requested or received payment.Payment Method. The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen Payment Method. If we, through a Payment Processor, do not receive payment from you, you agree to pay all amounts due on your Billing Account upon demand.
Recurring Billing . The Membership Fee may consist of an initial period, for which there is a one-time charge, followed by recurring period charges as agreed to by you. By choosing automatic renewal, or a recurring payment plan, you acknowledge that such Membership Fees have an initial and recurring payment feature, and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW, WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES (E.G., MONTHLY, ANNUALLY OR BIENNIALLY (2 YEARS), DEPENDING ON YOUR SUBSCRIPTION) WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU PROVIDE NOTICE (RECEIPT OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY US) THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE REASONABLY COULD ACT. TO TERMINATE YOUR AUTHORIZATION OR CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD, EMAIL US AT support@orcam.com . Current Information Required . YOU MUST PROVIDE CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE INFORMATION FOR YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT. YOU MUST PROMPTLY UPDATE ALL INFORMATION TO KEEP YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE (SUCH AS A CHANGE IN BILLING ADDRESS, CREDIT CARD NUMBER, OR CREDIT CARD EXPIRATION DATE), AND YOU MUST PROMPTLY NOTIFY US OR OUR PAYMENT PROCESSOR IF YOUR PAYMENT METHOD IS CANCELED (E.G., FOR LOSS OR THEFT) OR IF YOU BECOME AWARE OF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF SECURITY. CHANGES TO SUCH INFORMATION CAN BE MADE BY EMAILING US AT support@orcam.com . IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE ANY OF THE FOREGOING INFORMATION, YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY CONTINUE CHARGING YOU FOR ANY SUBSCRIPTION FEES UNDER YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT UNLESS YOU HAVE TERMINATED YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AS SET FORTH ABOVE. Automatic Renewal . There are two automatic renewal options: Monthly and annual. Subject to any minimum subscription period as presented to you during the purchase and payment process (for example, ‘a minimum subscription of 3 months’), monthly automatic renewals (“Monthly Membership”) will be renewed or extended each month on the monthly anniversary date at the Membership Fee that you agreed to pay at checkout for the Monthly Membership. We will reasonably postpone the renewal date due to the time it takes for the device to be delivered to you. For example, if your Subscription started on June 3, 2023 then your renewal date shall be on July 17, 2023 and thereafter, on the 17th of the subsequent month(s). (Note: The Membership Fee may be subject to change with notice to you).The Membership will be automatically renewed or extended for successive twelve (12) month periods (“Annual Membership” or “Biennial Membership”, respectively) in the event you have purchased an Annual or Bi-Annual Membership at the then-current non-promotional rate. We will reasonably postpone the renewal date due to the time it takes for the device to be delivered to you. For example, if your Annual Subscription started on June 3, 2023 , and we deliver to you by June 17, 2023, then your renewal date shall be on June 17, 2024 and thereafter, on June 17 of the subsequent year(s); or, if your Biennial Subscription started on June 3, 2023 then your renewal date shall be on June 17, 2025 and thereafter, on June 17 of the subsequent year(s). In the case of an Annual or Biennial Membership, we will notify you by email at least thirty (30) days prior to such automatic renewal taking effect and any changes to the Membership Fee.
Return of the OrCam Device after Membership Term . At the end of any Membership term (whether due to its expiration or its cancellation for any reason), you must return and we must receive the OrCam device within 60 days of the end of your Subscription. If we do not receive the OrCam device within that 60 day period, you will be charged the full value of the OrCam device which is the equivalent of $400.00 non-refundable late fee. Membership Cancellation/Changes. To change or terminate your Membership, go to ______ or email us at support@orcam.com . If you terminate your Membership, you may continue to use your Membership until the end of your then-current term and your Membership will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the Membership Fee paid for the then-current subscription period. If you do not want to continue to be charged on a recurring basis, you must cancel or terminate your Membership before the end of the then-current term and return the OrCam device in accordance with the terms stated above (see Return of the OrCam Device clause). Unless permitted by applicable law, your Membership cannot be terminated before the end of the period for which you have already paid, and except as expressly provided in these T&C, OrCam will not refund any amounts that you have already paid even if you stop using the Services.From time to time, the Membership Fee may increase or decrease, and you will receive notice of any Membership Fee changes prior to the Membership Fee change. If you do not agree to an increase during your subscription term, we will allow you to terminate your Membership and you will receive a pro-rated refund for the remining Membership term.
Reaffirmation of Authorization. Your non-termination or continued use of your Membership reaffirms that we are authorized to charge your Payment Method for that Membership. We may submit those charges for payment, and you will be responsible for such charges. This does not waive our right to seek payment directly from you. Your charges may be payable in advance or as otherwise described when you initially selected to purchase the Membership.Changes to our Services

Therefore, we might at any time and at our sole discretion with or without notice, make changes to the Services whether by adding or removing features, products and functionalities, or by providing updates including fixes, or by suspending or imposing limitations with regards to the Services or by imposing other changes to the Services (“Changes”).

Arbitration; Class Action and Jury Waiver (applicable for United States residents)
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS RIGHTS THAT YOU MAY OTHERWISE HAVE. IT PROVIDES FOR RESOLUTION OF MOST DISPUTES THROUGH ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF COURT TRIALS AND CLASS ACTIONS. ARBITRATION IS MORE INFORMAL THAN A LAWSUIT IN COURT, USES A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY, AND DISCOVERY IS MORE LIMITED. ARBITRATION IS FINAL AND BINDING AND SUBJECT TO ONLY VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT. THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THE T&CS.
Binding Arbitration: This provision is intended to be interpreted broadly to encompass all disputes, claims or controversies (regardless of legal theory or source of law issue) arising out of or relating to the T&Cs. Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to the T&Cs (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, common law, or any other legal theory) will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that either you or OrCam may take claims to small claims court if the claims or demands qualify for hearing by such a court. Arbitration Procedures: For all disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first send a written description of your claim to OrCam at 1115 Broadway, 11th floor, New York, NY 10010 to allow OrCam an opportunity to work with you to resolve the dispute. You and OrCam each agree to negotiate your claim in good faith. You may request arbitration if your claim or dispute cannot be resolved within sixty (60) days.The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted by, and in accordance with, the rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), including the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable), as modified by the T&Cs. The AAA Rules and information about arbitration and fees are available online at www.adr.org. You and OrCam agree that the T&Cs evidence a transaction in interstate commerce and that this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law and will not be governed by state law. Any arbitration will be held in Delaware or virtually, if mutually agreed. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. There shall be three arbitrators selected from the AAA’s list of approved arbitrators, agreed to by the parties within thirty (30) days of receipt by respondent of the request for arbitration or, in default of such agreement, by the AAA. Each party shall bear the portion of any deposit, advance, or other expense as determined by the arbitrator.
You and OrCam agree that discovery will be limited to be cost-effective and proportionate to the claim, and that the cost of discovery shall be borne by the party requesting such discovery. Except as provided below, the arbitrators may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim, and must follow and enforce the T&Cs as a court would. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive, consequential or liquidated damages of any kind. In all arbitrations, the arbitrator must give effect to applicable statutes of limitations.
The award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final, non-reviewable and binding on the parties. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor OrCam may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction.
Class Action Waiver and Jury Waiver: You and OrCam each agree that any proceeding, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and OrCam that this class action waiver is unenforceable, the arbitration agreement will be void as to you. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, You and OrCam each waive any right to a jury trial and consent to the jurisdiction of the courts and laws of the State of Delaware.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION FOR UK RESIDENTS
If you are a resident of the UK and receive the Services in the UK, this section applies to you.

Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of, connected with or relating to these T&C and the Services, will be under the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the competent court in Jerusalem, Israel, but please see below about your other options for resolving disputes with us:

WE DON'T COMPENSATE YOU FOR ALL LOSSES CAUSED BY US OR OUR PRODUCTS. We're responsible for losses you suffer caused by us breaking the terms of our contract with you unless the loss is:
- Unexpected, i.e. it was not obvious that it would happen and nothing you said to us before we accepted your order meant we should have expected it (so, by law, the loss was unforeseeable).
- Avoidable. Something you could have avoided by taking reasonable action. For example, damage to your own digital content or device which was caused by an OrCam product that we supplied but which you could have avoided by following our advice to install updates or by correctly following the User Guide.
Nothing in these T&Cs limits any liability which cannot legally be limited, including liability for:
- death or personal injury caused by negligence;
- fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
- breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979; or
- defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.
IMPORTANT: Except as provided in the paragraph above, OrCam assumes no responsibility or liability for any losses to the extent caused by use of the Services other than in accordance with the instructions in the User Guide and/or training program. Services should not be relied upon in circumstances that are potentially life- or health threatening (including to identify medication/read prescriptions) or that could lead to financial loss. The Services should especially never be relied upon to drive vehicles or operate heavy machinery of any kind. Except as provided in the paragraph above, OrCam shall not be responsible for any losses to the extent caused by use of the Services in such situations, or otherwise in violation of these T&C.
