1. The Plus! Services; Changes to the Plus! Services or the Terms
The Plus! (f/k/a Rewards+) Services include a suite of tools that allow users to search for deals, discounts, and promotions, to learn pricing and product information, and to look for and apply savings, cashback promotions, and other reward opportunities when shopping on third-party merchant mobile applications and/or mobile websites through users’ mobile devices. We have partnered with third-party retailers, brands, merchants, affiliate networks, and other partners (collectively, “Affiliate Stores”) to offer you the ability to earn cashback on your purchases from certain qualifying third-party merchant mobile applications and/or mobile websites. In addition, we try to locate the best publicly available discounts and coupons, track product pricing and information, and negotiate offers that may be better than other publicly available deals. The Plus! Services may present cashback offers in the Plus! application or as a pop-up (or similar interface) when you interact with qualifying Affiliate Stores through their mobile applications or mobile websites. The Plus! Services may also send you notifications or alerts about recommended or suggested offers, coupons, discounts, or products and services from the Affiliate Stores or third-party merchants, allow you to search for offers, coupons, discounts, or products and services that appear in the Plus! Services, and present you with other recommendations, suggestions, and notifications or alerts that may be of interest or that may further assist you in your on-device shopping. By signing up for the Plus! Services, you agree to receive these products and services.
In certain circumstances, we receive compensation for referring buyers to the Affiliate Stores and we give a portion of this fee to users in the form of cashback offers. We may also receive compensation when you purchase or engage with offers, coupons, discounts, or products and services presented by the Plus! Services. The compensation received by us may impact whether third-party merchants’ products or services (including offers, deals, and discounts for those products or services) appear in our Plus! application, their placement in our application, and how we promote them to you. In addition, although we try to offer generous cashback offers and to find the best available offers, coupons, and discounts, we may not always identify the best cashback or promotional offer, and we cannot be held responsible for any missed savings or rewards opportunities. You have no obligation to make a purchase or activate or engage with any particular offers, coupons, discounts, or products and services, and you can close the Plus! Services at any time by clicking exit or performing a similar action.
Registration and Account Information — You may need to register and create an account (or sign-in through a third-party platform) to access some portions of the Plus! Services, including earning and withdrawing or redeeming cashback. In addition, certain withdrawal or redemption options for cashback may require a PayPal account (or similar payee account) and certain versions of the Plus! Services may require you to withdraw or redeem your cashback through a third-party platform (for example, the “Wallet” or similar feature provided by your mobile carrier or your mobile equipment manufacturer). You acknowledge and agree to provide us (and any related third-party platform) with accurate, complete, and up-to-date account information, as needed, for us to provide you with the Plus! Services.
Permission to Use Accessibility Services — To maximize the benefits to you of the Plus! Services, we need permission to use the accessibility services of your mobile device(s). If you choose to give us permission to use accessibility services, we will use those permissions to provide you with the Plus! Services, including presenting cashback offers and automatically applying coupons or discounts when you interact with qualifying Affiliate Stores or third-party merchants. If you do not want us to use the accessibility services of your mobile device(s), you can turn off that permission through the “Settings” menu on your Android device.
Updates to the Plus! Services — We may from time-to-time update, improve, enhance, and further develop the Plus! Services (for example, in the form of bug fixes, enhancements, security patches, new software modules, or new versions). If you choose to allow automatic updates, the Plus! Services will automatically download and install updates. If you do not want to download and install updates automatically, you can turn off automatic updates through the “Settings” menu on your Android device.
Notifications from the Plus! Services — We may from time-to-time send you notifications or alerts regarding the Plus! Services or certain products or services, offers, coupons, or discounts that may be of interest to you or that may further assist you in your on-device shopping. If you do not want to receive notifications, you can turn off notifications through the “Settings” menu on your Android device.
Hardware and Software Requirements — The functionalities and features of the Plus! Services may vary depending on the device and operating system that you use, your region, or the changing requirements of applicable laws. To use the Plus! Services, you need compatible hardware and software (and potentially the latest versions of that software), and internet access, among other technological features. The performance of the Plus! Services may be affected by these or related factors, each of which we do not control. Your access and use of the Services may also be interrupted from time to time due to third-party failures outside of our control or the need for periodic maintenance, updates, or repairs. As explained below, we make no representations or warranties of any kind with respect to the performance or availability of the Plus! Services.
Changes to the Plus! Services or these Terms — Because our Plus! Services evolve over time, we may at any time, at our sole discretion, modify, suspend, restrict, terminate, or cancel the Plus! Services or any portion of them. In addition, we may at any time, in our sole discretion, suspend, restrict, delete, or remove access to the Plus! Services or any portion of them. In addition, we may modify these Terms at any time at our sole discretion by posting the modified Terms. By continuing to use the Plus! Services after those modifications, you agree to the revised terms. If you do not agree to be bound by the modified Terms, then you must not use the Plus! Services anymore.
Your Independent Relationship with Third-Party Affiliate Stores or Merchants — As described above, the Plus! Services allow you to search for deals, discounts, and promotions, to learn pricing and product information, and to look for and apply savings, cashback promotions, and other reward opportunities when shopping on Affiliate Stores or third-party merchants. If you use Affiliate Stores’ or third-party merchants’ applications or mobile websites or choose to make a purchase through an Affiliate Store or third-party merchant, you create an independent relationship with that Affiliate Store or third-party merchant, governed by the third parties’ terms of service, privacy policy, and other policies (including applicable exchange and shipping policies). In addition, if you choose to make a purchase from an Affiliate Store or third-party merchant, any product or service will be purchased directly from the Affiliate Store or third-party merchant (not from us), subject to the Affiliate Store’s or third-party merchant’s terms and policies. Please review those terms, policies, and other documents carefully. You understand that we operate independently from the third-party Affiliate Stores or merchants and that we do not act as an agent of the third-party Affiliate Stores or merchants or as a reseller or distributor of any products or services of Affiliate Stores or third-party merchants. You acknowledge sole responsibility for, and assume all risk arising from, your decision to use Affiliate Stores’ applications or mobile websites or choice to make a purchase through an Affiliate Store or third-party merchant.
Uninstalling the Plus! Application — You may uninstall the preinstalled Plus! application at any time. To uninstall the app on Android systems, open the Google Play Store app > tap the “Profile” icon in the top-right corner > tap “Manage apps & devices” > tap “Manage” > select the name of the app you want to delete > tap “Uninstall.”
2. Restrictions, Limitations, and Exclusions on the Plus! Services
We Do Not Warrant or Guarantee the Best Offers, Coupons, or Discounts — As described above, we try to offer generous cashback offers and to find the best available offers, coupons, and discounts. However, we may not always identify the best cashback or promotional offer, and we may not always have access or qualify to provide all available discounts or the best deal. You understand and agree that we do not warrant, promise, or guarantee the offers, coupons, and discounts shown through the Plus! Services will be the best available in the market, and you further understand and agree that we cannot be held responsible for any missed savings or rewards opportunities. In addition, offers, coupons, and discounts remain subject to availability and the applicable exclusions, restrictions, and terms and conditions of the Affiliate Stores and other third-party merchants. Deals may also change without notice and only be available through certain channels or on certain eligible items. As such, the application of offers, coupons, and discounts at checkout may or may not result in savings for your order.
Our Compensation from Affiliate Stores or Third-Party Merchants — We do not charge you fees for your use of the Plus! Services. You understand and agree that we may receive compensation for referring buyers to the Affiliate Stores or third-party merchants. In addition, we may receive compensation when you purchase or engage with offers, coupons or discounts, and products or services presented by the Plus! Services. The compensation received by us may impact how the Affiliate Stores’ or third-party merchants’ products or services (including offers, deals, and discounts for those products or services) appear in our Plus! application, their placement in our application, and how we promote them to you.
We Have No Control Over and Do Not Endorse, Warrant, or Guarantee Third-Party Information, Offers, Coupons, or Discounts — While we attempt to provide accurate descriptions for the products or services, offers, coupons, and discounts shown within or through the Plus! Services, you understand and agree that much of the information we display (including descriptions of products or services, offers, coupons, and discounts) come from third parties that we do not control. You acknowledge sole responsibility for, and assume all risk arising from, (i) your decision to interact with a product or service, offer, coupon, or discount, (ii) your decision to use Affiliate Stores’ or third-party merchants’ applications or mobile websites, or (iii) your choice to make a purchase through an Affiliate Store or third-party merchant.
We do not endorse, warrant, or guarantee the product descriptions, third-party offers, coupons, or discounts, or other information shown through the Plus! Services, or endorse, warrant, or guarantee that the product descriptions, third-party offers, coupons, or discounts, or other information shown through the Plus! Services will be available, applicable, accurate, complete, reliable, current, error-free, or provide the best available promotions. In addition, the inclusion of any products or services, offers, coupons, or discounts through the Plus! Services at a particular time does not mean (and we do not warrant) that those products or services, offers, coupons, or discounts will be available at any other time. You understand and agree that the products or services, offers, coupons, or discounts shown through the Plus! Services may change at any time without notice to you.
We Are Not Responsible for Purchases or Products from Affiliate Stores or Third-Party Merchants — You understand and agree that any products or services that you choose to purchase using offers, coupons, or discounts presented through the Plus! Services come directly from the Affiliate Stores or third-party merchants, not us. These products or services have been or will be: (a) offered for sale by the Affiliate Stores or third-party merchants subject to their typical terms and conditions and other policies, not by us; (b) priced by the applicable Affiliate Store or third-party merchant (including determining whether the prices include applicable local, provincial, state, or federal taxes, and any additional fees, such as shipping, handling, and/or processing fees), not by us; (c) fulfilled, shipped, and otherwise serviced (including but not limited to the processing of returns, refunds, and cancellations) by the applicable Affiliate Store or third-party merchant, not by us; and (d) paid by you directly to the applicable Affiliate Store or third-party merchant, not to or through us. If you choose to make a purchase from an Affiliate Store or third-party merchant, any product or service will be purchased directly from the Affiliate Store or third-party merchant (not from us), subject to the Affiliate Store’s or third-party merchant’s terms and policies. Please review those terms, policies, and other documents carefully.
You understand that we operate independently from the third-party Affiliate Stores or merchants and that we do not act as an agent of the Affiliate Stores or third-party merchants or act as a broker, reseller, or distributor of any products or services of third-party Affiliate Stores of merchants. In addition, you understand that we have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, policies, or practices of the third-party Affiliate Stores or merchants, including any information that may appear in or on the third-party Affiliate Stores’ or merchants’ applications or websites.
You acknowledge sole responsibility for, and assume all risk arising from, (i) your decision to interact with a product or service, offer, coupon, or discount, (ii) your decision to use Affiliate Stores’ or third-party merchants’ applications or mobile websites, or (iii) your choice to make a purchase through an Affiliate Store or third-party merchant. In addition, you acknowledge that we have no responsibility for, or liability to you in connection with, any products or services that you choose to purchase through or using the Plus! Services, including claims or issues regarding product liability, improper charges, delivery failures, pricing errors, inaccurate product descriptions, or any other theory or issue. You also acknowledge and agree that we cannot be held liable or otherwise responsible for any breaches of credit card or debit card security or privacy by any Affiliate Stores or third-party merchants.
We Are Not Responsible for Affiliate Stores or Third Parties — As described above, if you use Affiliate Stores’ applications or mobile websites or choose to make a purchase through an Affiliate Store or another third-party merchant, you create an independent relationship with that third-party Affiliate Store or merchant, governed by the third parties’ terms of service, privacy policy, and other policies (including applicable exchange and shipping policies). In addition, if you choose to make a purchase from an Affiliate Store, any product or service will be purchased directly from the Affiliate Store (not from us), subject to the Affiliate Store’s terms and policies. Please review those terms, policies, and other documents carefully.
You understand that we operate independently from the third-party Affiliate Stores and that we do not act as an agent of the third-party Affiliate Stores or merchants, or act as a reseller or distributor of any products or services of Affiliate Stores of third-party merchants. You acknowledge sole responsibility for, and assume all risk arising from, your decision to use Affiliate Stores’ or third-party merchants’ applications or mobile websites or choose to make a purchase through an Affiliate Store or third-party merchant. You explicitly release and agree to hold us harmless from any and all claims, disputes, or liability arising from or related to your use of any third-party website or service. If you have a dispute with any third-party (including a merchant from which you purchased a product in connection with the Plus! Services), we have no obligation to become involved.
Contact Affiliate Stores for Customer Service Inquiries or Returns — For customer service inquiries related to the merchant product purchase, please contact the Affiliate Store or third-party merchant from whom you purchased the product. For example, if you experience issues with your purchase, if you wish to return the merchant product, if you ordered a merchant product and it has not arrived, or if you have any other customer service inquiry regarding your purchased product, you must contact the Affiliate Store or third-party merchant to resolve any issues or disputes. We have no role in your merchant product purchase, and we cannot assist you with any customer service inquiries or returns related to that purchase. You must address any issue directly with the Affiliate Store or third-party merchant.
3. Withdrawing or Redeeming Cashback or Other Rewards
Requirements for Redemption — As a condition to withdraw or redeem cashback or other rewards accrued through the Plus! Services, you must: (i) establish and maintain an active account in good standing; (ii) sign-in to your account; and (iii) elect an applicable payment method, among other requirements described in the Plus! application. Certain withdrawal or redemption options for cashback may require a PayPal account (or similar payee account) and certain versions of the Plus! Services may require you to withdraw or redeem your cashback through a third-party platform (for example, the “Wallet” or similar feature provided by your mobile carrier). If you elect to receive a payment via PayPal or a similar payee account, you must provide a valid email address or other sign-on information. As set forth above, you must keep your account information (and any associated third-party platform accounts) accurate, complete, and up to date.
In addition, you must not be a resident of a country subject to economic or trade sanctions by the U.S. State Department or U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), or be listed as a “Specially Designated National,” a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist,” a “Blocked Person” or similar designation under the OFAC sanctions regime. You further agree to provide additional information we may reasonably request to verify your identity as a condition to withdrawing or redeeming cashback or other rewards.
Accruing Cashback and Account Adjustments — Please note that accrual rates for cashback offers vary depending upon the Affiliate Store’s or third-party merchant’s policies, the time period required to confirm your applicable purchase(s), reporting schedules, and the terms and conditions of the particular cashback offer. For example, certain cashback offers may only apply to eligible products or services from an Affiliate Store or third-party merchant, not your entire order; in that case, you would only accrue cashback on the subtotal of the eligible items, not the subtotal of your entire order. We will determine, in our sole discretion, whether a purchase made through an Affiliate Store or third-party merchant qualifies for cashback pursuant to these Terms and the applicable offer and associated terms and policies.
In addition, we may deduct cashback from your account to adjust for returns, cancellations, or lack of confirmations of applicable purchases made by you through cashback offers. We would make any adjustments pursuant to these Terms, the terms and policies of the Affiliate Store or third-party merchant offer, and applicable laws, rules, and regulations. If you believe that cashback has not been appropriately credited to your account, you must contact customer support within ninety (90) days of the transaction.
In addition, we may, in our sole discretion and without notice, make account adjustments for any cashback that we deem fraudulent, abusive, unethical, suspicious, artificial, or otherwise inconsistent with these Terms, the terms and policies of the Affiliate Store or third-party merchant offer, or any other applicable laws, rules, or regulations. In addition, we may, in our sole discretion and without notice, withhold, delay, or deny your ability to withdraw or redeem cashback based on our suspicion or detection of fraud with your account, the misattribution of cashback by an Affiliate Store or third-party merchant, any anomalies detected by us or the applicable Affiliate Stores or third-party merchants, changes to Affiliate Store or third-party merchant policies, or any actual or suspected violation of these Terms. Our decisions are final.
Fraudulent Activity — We reserve the right to rescind any cashback, bar further cashback or other rewards, or terminate any account that we believe, in our sole discretion, has been or may be abusing the Plus! Services, including by engaging in a pattern of returning products after the corresponding cashback has been credited. Any failure to comply with these Terms, any fraud or abuse relating to the accrual or receipt of cashback or other rewards, or any misrepresentation of any information furnished to us by you or anyone acting on your behalf may result in the termination of your account and the forfeiture of any accrued cashback. If we have any reason to suspect fraudulent activity associated with your account, we reserve the right at any time to make account adjustments and/or withhold, delay, or deny your ability to withdraw or redeem cashback or accrue additional cashback. Our decisions are final.
Exclusions on Cash Back or Other Rewards — YOU EARN CASHBACK ON YOUR NET PURCHASE AMOUNT, WHICH EXCLUDES TAXES, FEES, SHIPPING, GIFT-WRAPPING, DISCOUNTS OR CREDITS, RETURNS OR CANCELLATIONS, AND EXTENDED WARRANTIES. CASH BACK AMOUNTS VARY BY AFFILIATE STORE OR THIRD-PARTY MERCHANT AND PRODUCT CATEGORY AND MAY CONTAIN EXCLUSIONS IN THE TERMS OF THE OFFER AND THE APPLICABLE AFFILIATE STORE OR THIRD-PARTY MERCHANT PAGE, POLICIES, OR TERMS. PLEASE REVIEW THESE TERMS CAREFULLY.
Your Responsibility for Applicable Taxes — You may be taxed on your receipt of cashback or other rewards depending on the tax laws of the applicable federal, state, and local jurisdictions. You acknowledge and agree that you will be solely responsible for any tax liability arising out of the cashback or other rewards that you may receive from your use of the Plus! Services.

Services.

Notice of Claim and Required Informal Dispute Resolution Process
In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, we shall consult and negotiate with each other and, recognizing our mutual interests, attempt to reach a satisfactory solution, through first contacting support and then through the Informal Dispute Resolution Process described below. If these informal efforts do not resolve the concern or issue, as explained in more detail below, we each agree to resolve any dispute between us through binding arbitration or small claims court instead of in courts of general jurisdiction.
If you have any concerns about, or experience any issue with, the Plus! Services, most user concerns or issues can be resolved by contacting us through our help center by selecting My Account > Help > Contact Us within the Plus! application to chat with a customer support representative or by sending us an email at [email protected]. Before initiating the Informal Dispute Resolution Process (as described below) or any arbitration or court proceeding pursuant to this Section, you must first contact us to address your concerns or issues. Most disputes can be resolved that way.
If you have any concern or dispute that we cannot resolve, you agree to then try to resolve the dispute informally (the “Informal Dispute Resolution Process”) and in good faith by contacting us and providing a written notice of claim (the “Notice of Claim”) by sending an email to [email protected] and [email protected]. The Notice of Claim must provide us with an individualized and detailed description of the nature and factual basis of your individual, personal claim(s), and the relief you seek. Your Notice of Claim may only include your individual personal claim(s) and may not be combined with a Notice of Claim for other individuals. After submitting your Notice of Claim, you then agree to meet and confer by email, telephonically, or by videoconference (such as Zoom), in good faith regarding your individual claim before taking any further action.
If any dispute related to your Notice of Claim cannot be resolved through the Informal Dispute Resolution Process within sixty (60) days of our receipt of the Notice of Claim, this Section explains how you and we agree to resolve it. As explained in more detail below, we each agree to resolve any dispute between us through binding arbitration or small claims court instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. You understand and agree that you and we are giving up the right to sue in court and the right to have a trial before a judge or jury.
Agreement to Arbitration; Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitration
If we cannot resolve our dispute through customer support or through an Informal Dispute Resolution Process (as described above), YOU AND WE AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS BETWEEN US IN INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A SINGLE ARBITRATOR, INCLUDING CLAIMS CONCERNING ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN US OR YOUR USE OF THE PLUS! SERVICES.
This Agreement to Arbitration is intended to be interpreted broadly, and it applies to all disputes or claims of any kind under any theory (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory) that you may have or assert against us.
You and we agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope, applicability, or enforceability of this Agreement to Arbitration. This includes questions about whether any dispute between us is subject to this Agreement to Arbitration (i.e., the arbitrator will decide the arbitrability of any dispute) and whether all or any part of these terms are void or voidable.
Please note that an arbitration is a proceeding before a neutral arbitrator, instead of before a judge or jury. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court and provides more limited discovery. It follows different rules than court proceedings and is subject to very limited review by courts. The arbitrator will issue a written decision and provide a statement of reasons if requested by either party. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND WE ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND THE RIGHT TO HAVE A TRIAL BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY.
Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitration
This Section does not apply to the following types of claims or disputes, which you or we may bring in court in accordance with these Terms:
(1) claims of infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights, including such claims seeking injunctive relief;
(2) claims for preliminary injunctive relief for violations of these Terms;
(3) claims to request enforcement or recognition of any award or order in any appropriate jurisdiction; and
(4) our ability to suspect or terminate access to the Plus! Services pursuant to these Terms.
This Section does not prevent you from bringing your dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agencies that can, if the law allows, seek relief from us for you. In addition, any of us can bring a claim in small claims court either in Santa Clara County, California, or the county or jurisdiction where you live, or some other place we both agree on, if such claims meet the requirements to be brought in that small claims court. If either party files a claim in arbitration that could have been brought in small claims court, the other party may elect to resolve the claim through small claims court (rather than through arbitration) by providing notice to the other party before appointment of an arbitrator; upon receipt of such notice, the arbitration provider shall administratively close the case before assessing any fees, and the party bringing the claim must proceed in small claims court in lieu of arbitration.
Procedure for Arbitration
The Federal Arbitration Act applies to this Section. The arbitration will be governed by the Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the “Rules”) of JAMS (“JAMS”), as modified by these Terms. The Rules are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/. We shall appoint one arbitrator (fluent in English), who will be bound by these Terms. In the event of a conflict between the rules of the arbitration provider and the Terms, including with respect to the assessment of the fees and costs of arbitration, these Terms will govern.
To start an arbitration proceeding, use the form available on the JAMS website (https://www.jamsadr.com/submit/). Any arbitration under this Section that must take place in person (rather than through a more convenient virtual forum) will take place pursuant to the Rules and these Terms. The parties agree that any live proceedings, including the arbitration hearing, will be conducted at a location reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances.
Payment of all filing, administrative, arbitrator fees, and costs of arbitration will be governed by the Rules, except as modified by these Terms. If your claim is for US$25,000 or less, we agree to reimburse your share of the arbitration costs, including your share of arbitrator fees, at the conclusion of the proceeding, unless the arbitrator determines your claims are frivolous, your claims were brought for an improper purpose, or your arbitration costs are unreasonable as determined by the arbitrator. If you seek more than US$25,000, the arbitration costs, including arbitrator compensation, will be split between you and us according to the rules of the arbitration provider. Notwithstanding the above, if you demonstrate that you are unable to afford the fees or costs of arbitration, qualify for a statutory exemption, or if the arbitrator determines that your payment of any portion of the costs or fees would be cost-prohibitive (as compared to litigation), we will pay them. Irrespective of the amount you seek, neither party shall be entitled to have their attorneys’ fees or costs paid by the other party; provided, however, that either party may seek to recover their attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration if the arbitrator determines that the other party’s claims (or counterclaims) are frivolous or were brought for an improper purpose.
For non-US Users
In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, including any question regarding its existence, validity, termination, or breach thereof, the parties shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and, recognizing their mutual interests, attempt to reach a satisfactory solution. If they do not reach settlement within a period of sixty (60) days, then, upon notice by any party to the other(s), any unresolved controversy or claim shall be settled by arbitration administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (“ICDR”) (www.icdr.org) in accordance with the provisions of its International Arbitration Rules. The place of arbitration shall be in London, England, or another location that you and we mutually agree to, and the number of arbitrators shall be one. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English.
Class Action and Representative Action Waiver
For disputes arising between us and you, or any other user, you and we agree that we can only bring a claim against each other on an individual basis. NEITHER YOU NOR WE CAN BRING A CLAIM AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, CONSOLIDATED ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR CANNOT COMBINE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIM INTO A SINGLE CASE, AND CANNOT PRESIDE OVER ANY CONSOLIDATED, CLASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING, UNLESS WE BOTH AGREE OTHERWISE IN WRITING. NONETHELESS, IF ANY PORTION OF THIS CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WAIVER IS DEEMED UNENFORCEABLE OR INVALID, THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE AUTHORITY TO ISSUE ANY AND ALL REMEDIES AUTHORIZED BY LAW.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, ABSENT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATION, YOU WOULD HAVE HAD A RIGHT TO LITIGATE THROUGH A COURT, TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE YOUR CASE, AND TO BE PARTY TO A CONSOLIDATED, CLASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. HOWEVER, YOU UNDERSTAND AND CHOOSE TO HAVE ANY CLAIMS DECIDED INDIVIDUALLY AND ONLY THROUGH ARBITRATION.
Opting out of the Agreement to Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
You have the right to opt out and not be bound by this Agreement to Arbitration by sending us written notice of your decision to opt out by contacting us at [email protected]. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Plus! Services or availability of this opt-out, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes as set out in this Section. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.
Changes to this Section
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that, if we make any future change to this Section, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) days of the change to [email protected].
Severability
This Section applies to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. If any competent authority deems any portion of this Section illegal or unenforceable, such provision will be severed and the remainder of this Section will be given full force and effect.
If any competent authority determines that applicable law precludes the arbitration of any claim, cause of action, or requested remedy, then that claim, cause of action, or requested remedy, and only that claim, cause of action, or requested remedy, will be severed from this Agreement to Arbitration (as described below), and will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. If a claim, cause of action, or requested remedy is severed pursuant to this paragraph, then you and we agree that the claims, causes of action, or requested remedies that are not subject to arbitration will be stayed until all arbitrable claims, causes of action, and requested remedies are resolved by the arbitrator.
Survival
This Section shall survive termination of these Terms.
