All changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access and use of each of Services after the changes are posted. Your continued use of any of the Services following the posting of revised Terms or clicking any “I Agree” or similar button means that you accept and agree to the changes. Please check these Terms frequently so that you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

Other aspects of any Service and/or Program may be covered by other terms, conditions and agreements with OPA or third parties, including without limitation the OPA Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”), which describes our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information. By accessing or using any Service, you also agree to the Privacy Policy. To the extent there is another agreement between you and OPA, these Terms are supplemental and not a conflicting agreement. THESE TERMS ALSO INCLUDE, AMONG OTHER THINGS, A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT CONTAINS A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

You hereby acknowledge that, as between you and OPA, OPA owns all rights, title and interest in and to the Services. The Services are protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws, including patent law, copyright law, trade secret law, trademark law, unfair competition law, and other proprietary right law now or hereafter in force and effect worldwide.

The trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, and trade dress (the “Trademarks”) used and displayed on any Service, including without limitation “One Percent for America”, are registered and unregistered trademarks of OPA or one or more third parties.

13. Disclaimers; No Warranties

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING EACH SERVICE OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY RIGHT, FREEDOM FROM ANY VIRUS OR OTHER HARMFUL CODE, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OR TRADE. SPECIFICALLY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, NO INDEMNIFIED PARTY WARRANTS THAT: (A) THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN, OR THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF, ANY SERVICE OR INFORMATION CONTAINED IN OR PROVIDED IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR BE CORRECT, ACCURATE, UP-TO-DATE, OR RELIABLE; (B) ANY SERVICE BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE; (C) THE QUALITY OF ANY SERVICE OR ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED BY YOU THROUGH ANY OF THE SERVICES; (D) ANY SERVICE OR ANY SUCH INFORMATION WILL MEET ANY OF YOUR EXPECTATIONS; OR (D) ANY ERROR IN ANY SERVICE OR ANY SUCH INFORMATION WILL BE CORRECTED.

PLEASE CONSULT WITH YOUR LAWYER, FINANCIAL ADVISOR OR OTHER LEGAL SERVICES OR FINANCIAL SERVICES PROVIDER IF YOU HAVE LAW-RELATED OR FINANCE-RELATED QUESTIONS BEFORE USING ANY OF OUR SERVICES OR RELYING ON ANY INFORMATION YOU OBTAIN IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SERVICE.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NONE OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES NOR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OPERATING OR DELIVERING ANY OF THE SERVICES WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES OR YOUR REQUEST, USE OR ATTEMPTED USE OF THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF ALL INDEMNIFIED PARTIES TO YOU IN ANY EVENT IS LIMITED TO $50. NONE OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES WILL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY THIRD PARTY SERVICE.

EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS.

NO INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR NEGATIVE FACTUAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN ANY REPORT YOU RECEIVE AS PART OF THE SERVICES. THE SERVICES DO NOT OPERATE AS CREDIT COUNSELING SERVICES AND DO NOT PROMISE TO HELP YOU OBTAIN A LOAN OR IMPROVE YOUR CREDIT RECORD, HISTORY, OR RATING.

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF.

SUMMARY OF DISPUTE PROCESS

Most concerns can be resolved quickly and to your satisfaction by contacting us at supportOPA@onepercentforamerica.org. In the unlikely event that our customer service is unable to resolve any complaint or dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, any Service, OPA or any of our service providers or any other Indemnified Party (each, a “Dispute”), or if we and/or any of our service providers and/or any other Indemnified Party(ies) have been unable to resolve a Dispute after attempting to do so informally, you, on the one hand, and OPA and/or each of OPA’s service providers and/or each Indemnified Party, on the other, each agree to resolve such Disputes through binding arbitration or small claims court instead of in courts of general jurisdiction to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. We will pay all costs of arbitration, no matter who wins, so long as your claim is not frivolous. However, in arbitration, you, on the one hand, and OPA, each of our service providers and each other Indemnified Party, on the other, would be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees from each other to the same extent as you and they would be in court.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, you must resolve all Disputes associated with any Third Party Service directly against the provider thereof.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

15.1 Governing Law. These Terms and the resolution of all Disputes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to its conflict of laws principles. It is the parties’ intent that this arbitration provision be construed broadly, including that the arbitration agreement pursuant to this Article 16 include any Disputes by you against OPA, each of our service providers, and each other Indemnified Party for each Dispute arising out of these Terms related to the Services. However, all Disputes which relate to your credit report, and all Disputes arising out of or relating to the FCRA and/or the FCRA’s state law equivalent(s), are not subject to or governed by this agreement to arbitrate. The parties to these Terms acknowledge that this arbitration agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”). Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall follow substantive law to the extent consistent with the FAA and shall honor all claims and privileges recognized by law.

15.2 Informal Dispute Resolution. OPA wants to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against OPA, any of its service providers, or any other Indemnified Party, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting us at supportOPA@onepercentforamerica.org. If a Dispute is not resolved within 15 days after submission, you or OPA, any of its service providers or any other Indemnified Party may bring a formal proceeding.

15.3 We Both Agree To Arbitrate. You, on the one hand, and OPA and each of our service providers and each other Indemnified Party, on the other, agree that each Dispute between any of us shall, at the election of any one of us, be resolved through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under the heading “Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate” below.

15.4 Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate. You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting us at supportOPA@onepercentforamerica.org within 30 days of first accepting these Terms and stating that you (include your first and last name) decline this arbitration agreement.

15.5 Arbitration Procedures. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will administer the arbitration under its rules for consumer arbitrations then in effect. Arbitration will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with those rules. The arbitration will be held in Norfolk County, Massachusetts or any other location specified by OPA.

15.6 Arbitration Fees. At your request, we will promptly reimburse you for your payment of your arbitration filing fee (the filing fee currently is $200 for claims under $10,000 but is subject to change by the arbitration provider; if you are unable to pay this fee, we will pay it directly after receiving a written request).

15.7 Relief. 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 warranty by that party’s individual Dispute.

15.8 Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of these Terms to the contrary, any party may bring an individual action, if it qualifies, in small claims court in Norfolk County, Massachusetts. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of any of the Services or infringement of any intellectual property right (for example, any trademark, trade secret, copyright or patent right) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.

15.9 No Class Actions. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you, OPA, our service providers, and each other Indemnified Party are each waiving our right to participate in a class action. YOU, ON ONE HAND, AND, OPA, EACH OF OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS AND EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY, ON THE OTHER, AGREE THAT EACH OF THE FOREGOING MAY BRING A DISPUTE AGAINST ANY OTHER OF THE FOREGOING 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, on one hand, and OPA and each our service providers and all other Indemnified Parties, on the other, agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision in the preceding sentence is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision in this Article 16 shall be null and void.

15.10 Judicial Forum for Disputes. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, in the event that the agreement to arbitrate set forth in these Terms is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and OPA agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the courts of Norfolk County, Massachusetts. Both you and OPA consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there.

15.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you, OPA, and each our service providers and all other Indemnified Parties are each waiving our right to a jury trial.

15.12 Limitation on Claims. Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, each claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or any Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or else that claim or cause of action will be barred forever.

16. General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and all other agreements and documents referenced herein, constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and OPA regarding your use of and access to the Services and, except as expressly permitted above, may only be amended by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of each of you and OPA. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any of your rights hereunder, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of OPA. OPA may assign these Terms or any of our rights or obligations under these Terms at any time without notice. The failure to require performance of any provision of these Terms shall not affect OPA’s right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of these Terms constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of paragraph headers in these Terms is for convenience only and shall not have any impact on the interpretation of particular provisions. In the event that any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part shall be given effect to the greatest extent possible and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.

17. Survival

In the event of termination of these Terms or the Services, the terms herein that by their nature should continue shall survive such termination, including but not limited to the indemnification and hold harmless obligations, dispute resolution process, disclaimers and limitations of liabilities.

18. Contact Information
