Mandatory Binding Arbitration

If a dispute arises between you and COMPANY, you and COMPANY agree, as permitted by applicable law, to resolve any claim or controversy at law or equity arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with the Site, these Terms, or additional terms (collectively, “Dispute”) through binding arbitration or as we and you otherwise agree in writing. You agree that the term “Dispute” in this Agreement will have the broadest meaning possible. This Agreement also covers any Dispute between you and any officer, director, board member, agent, employee, affiliate of the Company, or third party if the Company could be liable, directly or indirectly, for such Dispute. If the parties have more than one Dispute between them, you and the Company agree to assert all such Disputes in a single arbitration so they may be resolved at the same time.

Before resorting to this alternative, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly at [email protected] to seek a resolution. If we cannot resolve a Dispute within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice, then, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Disputes shall be resolved solely by binding arbitration in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), in a reasonably convenient location conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to its rules (including, but not limited to the AAA’s Consumer-Arbitration Rules, available at the ADR Consumer site), except that we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court. You can also obtain AAA procedures, rules, and fee information by calling 800.778.7879.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must submit the Dispute by utilizing the forms available at ADR Consumer site, and simultaneously sending a copy of the completed form to the following address: 5020 Weston Parkway, Suite 400, Cary, NC 275313.

WITH ARBITRATION (i) THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY, (ii) THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS AND ARBITRATION OUTCOME ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONFIDENTIALITY RULES, AND (iii) JUDICIAL REVIEW OF THE ARBITRATION OUTCOME IS LIMITED. You hereby consent to, and waive, all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of Texas. Any Dispute shall otherwise be governed by the internal laws of the State of Texas without regard to Texas choice of law principles, except that the provisions of this agreement concerning arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrability of Disputes shall be determined by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Certain portions of this Section are deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and COMPANY agree that we intend that this Section satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. This Section can only be amended by mutual agreement.

In the event the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the Dispute, you and COMPANY shall agree to, or a court shall select, another arbitration provider.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR WE WANT TO ASSERT A DISPUTE AGAINST THE OTHER, THEN YOU OR WE MUST COMMENCE IT (BY DELIVERY OF WRITTEN NOTICE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES – OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.

As permitted by applicable law, Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other arbitration or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party, including as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, representative proceeding or as an association. Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Agreement, any challenge to the validity of this section 7(g) may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The arbitrator may award relief (including injunctive relief) only on an individual basis. But if, for any reason, this restriction is held to be unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate will not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in court as follows: except to the extent that arbitration is required, and except as to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute may only be instituted in state or federal court in Harris County, Texas. Accordingly, you and COMPANY consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters. You and COMPANY agree to waive any right to a trial by jury.

Communications

We may communicate with you electronically in regard to the Site, including by email, and we may collect information related to communications between you and COMPANY. You agree that all notices, disclosures, agreements, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. You agree that any time you electronically transact, agree, or consent via the Site, you action is intended as an electronic signature as if you had signed on paper.

You may unsubscribe from receiving email marketing communications from us by following the instructions contained within our promotional emails. This will not affect your access to the Site. Please note that we may continue to send you certain communications relating to Your Account or use of our Site, such as administrative and service announcements, and these transactional messages may be unaffected if you choose to opt out of receiving marketing emails.

General

Governing Law and Venue. These Terms will be governed by, and construed and resolved in accordance with, United States federal law, as applicable, and by the laws of the State of Texas. All lawsuits or proceedings arising out of, or relating to, these Terms will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Harris County, Texas, and we and you irrevocably submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of such courts for such purpose.

Complete Agreement; No Waiver. These Terms constitute our complete and final agreement regarding the Site, the Content, and the User Submissions, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, and/or communications with respect to Site. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, (i) no failure or delay by COMPANY in exercising any of the rights, powers, or remedies hereunder will operate as a waiver of that or any other right, power, or remedy; and (ii) no waiver or modification of any of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by COMPANY.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is deemed to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, then such provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

Assignment. We may assign our rights and delegate our duties and obligations under these Terms to any party at any time without notice to you. These Terms are not assignable, transferable, or sub-licensable by you without our prior, express, and written consent.

Interpretation. The summaries of provisions and Section headings are provided for convenience only and shall not limit the full Terms.

Survival. The provisions of these Terms and any applicable additional terms (which by their nature should survive the suspension/termination of your access to the Site or the termination of these Terms) will survive, including the rights and licenses you grant to COMPANY in these Terms, as well as the indemnities, releases, disclaimers, and limitations on liability and the provisions regarding jurisdiction, choice of law, no class action, jury waiver, and mandatory arbitration.

Contact Information. If you have any questions regarding these Terms, you may contact us by email at [email protected].

As of that date, the California Attorney General had not completed the rulemaking process to establish the regulations for covered businesses to implement the law. Accordingly, we may update information in this section regarding our data practices and your rights under the CCPA, modify our methods for responding to your requests, and/or supplement our responses to your requests as we continue to develop our compliance program to reflect the development of the law and our understanding of how it relates to our data practices.

If you are a California consumer and would like to make a request pursuant to your “right to know about personal information collected, disclosed or sold” (including your right to obtain copies of specific pieces of PI), your “right to request deletion of personal information,” or your “right to opt-out of the sale of personal information,” you may contact us at [email protected] or complete and submit the form, here. We will respond to your request as soon as we have guidance on how to properly verify your identity and the appropriate response parameters.

Please note that CCPA rights do not apply to PI collected from (1) job applicants, current and former employees, or independent contractors; or (2) representatives of another business in connection with business communications or transactions.

Examples of the types of PI we may collect from California consumers, and of the purposes for such collection, are outlined in the chart below.

Category of PI Examples Purpose(s)
Identifiers Name, physical address, phone number, Internet Protocol address, email address, unique personal identification number Processing transactions, customizing concurrent consumer experiences, detecting fraud, security, marketing
Customer / Personal Records Name, physical address, telephone number, email address, payment card details, employment information Processing transactions, customizing concurrent consumer experiences, detecting fraud, security, marketing
Commercial Information Purchase history information Managing transactions, quality control
Internet Usage Information Browsing history, search history, information regarding interactions with our website or advertisements Debugging, security, detecting fraud, marketing
Sensory Data Audio recordings of customer service calls, CCTV footage Quality control, safety, detecting fraud, managing transactions
Professional or Employment Info Employment-related information, such as business contact details Facilitating transactions

 

We will revise this section as the law becomes clearer and we are able to provide you with more specific information about your CCPA rights and how to exercise them.

Please note that “Shine the Light” rights and CCPA rights are established under different legal regimes and must be exercised separately.
