You must have Internet access and provide us with a current, valid, accepted method of payment (as such may be updated from time to time, ‘Payment Method’) to use Wild TV. We will bill the monthly or annual membership fee to your Payment Method. You must cancel your membership before it renews each month or year in order to avoid billing of the next month’s, or year’s membership fees to your Payment Method.
2. Differing Memberships. We may offer a number of membership plans, including special promotional plans or memberships with differing conditions and limitations. Any materially different terms from those described in these Terms of Use will be disclosed at your sign-up or in other communications made available to you. You can find specific details regarding your membership by visiting our website and clicking on the ‘Your Account’ link. We reserve the right to modify, terminate or otherwise amend our offered membership plans.
b. Free Trials
i. Your Wild TV membership may start with a free trial. The free trial period of your membership lasts for as long as specified during sign-up. For combinations with other offers, restrictions may apply. Free trials are for new and certain former members only. We reserve the right, in our absolute discretion, to determine your free trial eligibility.
ii. We will begin billing your Payment Method for monthly membership fees at the end of the free trial period of your membership, if any, unless you cancel prior to the end of the free trial period.

The arbitrator shall be a person who is legally trained and who has experience in the information technology field in Canada and is independent of either party. Any such claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis, and shall not be consolidated in any arbitration with any claim, controversy or dispute of any other party. You agree to waive any right you may have to commence or participate in any class action against us related to any claim and, where applicable, you also agree to opt out of any class proceedings against us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right to pursue the protection of intellectual property rights and confidential information through injunctive or other equitable relief through the courts.
b. If you are a Wild TV member in the United States (including its possessions and territories), you and Wild TV agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Wild TV service or these Terms of Use shall be determined by binding arbitration or in small claims court. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Wild TV are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this agreement and the termination of your Wild TV membership.
i. If you elect to seek arbitration or file a small claim court action, you must first send to Wild TV, by certified mail, a written Notice of your claim (‘Notice’). The Notice to Wild TV must be addressed to: General Counsel, Wild TV, 11263 180 St NW, Edmonton, AB, Canada, T5S 0B4 (‘Notice Address’). If Wild TV initiates arbitration, it will send a written Notice to the email address used for your membership account. A Notice, whether sent by you or by Wild TV, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (‘Demand’). If Wild TV and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Wild TV may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court.
ii. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after Wild TV receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, Wild TV will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US$10,000, in which event you will be responsible for filing fees.
iii. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, ‘AAA Rules’) of the American Arbitration Association (‘AAA’), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Unless Wild TV and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your residence.
iv. If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Wild TV’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if Wild TV did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then Wild TV will pay you the amount of the award or US$1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
c. YOU AND Wild TV AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Wild TV agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
15. Survival. If any provision or provisions of these Terms of Use shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
