As an alternative, you may bring your claim in your local “small claims” court, if permitted by that small claims court’s rules. You may bring claims only on your own behalf. Neither you nor Swing by Swing will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by these Terms of Service.

Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify the Terms. The failure of Swing by Swing to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. Any notices or other communications provided by us under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Service. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.
