NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY.

Partydip prohibits discrimination by Vendors or licensors against users, guests, visitors, or any other party ("Protected Class") on the basis of race, ethnicity, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, physical characteristic, disability, marital status, family status or composition, pregnancy status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, political affiliation, veteran or citizenship status, age, or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal, regional, state, or local law ("Protected Characteristic"). Such discrimination includes, but is not limited to, doing any of the following: refusing to provide goods or services to, or accept goods or services from, a member of any Protected Class on the basis of a Protected Characteristic; submitting discriminatory content on the Site; imposing any different terms or conditions upon a member of any Protected Class on the basis of a Protected Characteristic; or any other conduct that improperly takes into account any Protected Characteristic. Partydip will take steps, in its sole discretion, to enforce this policy, up to and including the suspension or removal from the Site of anyone who violates this policy. In addition, Vendors should make every effort to be welcoming to families of all backgrounds. Vendors who, in Partydip’s belief, demonstrate a pattern of refusing to provide goods or services to families who are members of a protected class (even while articulating legitimate reasons) undermine the strength of our community and may be suspended or removed in Partydip’s sole discretion.

If Section (b) above is ruled to be unenforceable, then Section 24(a) shall be deemed unenforceable, but the rest of Section 24 shall remain in full effect.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE THAT (I) NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER; (II) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; AND (III) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC OR ANY OTHER PERSONS.
