In addition, on Site pages where the Mobile Service (including any Mobile Alert) is offered, the Company may post additional terms (e.g., regarding additional fees) that apply to your use of the Mobile Service, and your use shall also be subject to those additional terms.

If you have signed up for more than one Company text message program, you will need to text STOP to the short code provided for each program from which you no longer wish to receive text messages. You understand and agree that texting “STOP” does not constitute a “do not call” request.

Consult with your Carrier to see if it participates in a particular text message program. Content is not compatible with all mobile phone models. The Company will not be liable for any delays in the receipt of any text messages or changes to participating Carriers, as delivery is subject to effective transmission from your Carrier with active participation at that time.
20. How Text Messages Are Sent. The Company or its vendor may use automated or non-automated technology to send text messages to the mobile number you provide after you subscribe to a Company text message program. Consent is not a condition of the purchase of any goods or services.

21. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE; SMALL CLAIMS COURT

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE SUIT IN COURT. YOU HAVE THE LIMITED RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN THIS SECTION 21 AS SET FORTH BELOW.

The Company and you agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation of and enforcement of these arbitration provisions.

In the event of a dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or in connection with your access to, and/or use of the Sites, and/or the provision of content, services, and/or technology on or through the Sites, the Company or you must give the other party notice of the dispute, claim or controversy. The notice should include a brief written statement providing the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the dispute, claim, or controversy, and the relief requested. You may give notice to the Company (such notice shall be deemed given when received) at any time by sending a letter by first-class postage prepaid mail or courier to the following address:

If the Company and you do not resolve the dispute, claim, or controversy within sixty (60) days from the date of the notice after using reasonable, good faith efforts, the Company and/or you may commence an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, disputes, claims, or controversies concerning patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, trade secrets, and claims of piracy or unauthorized use of the Sites, or controversies related to bodily injury, are not subject to the pre-dispute resolution process, small claims court, or arbitration provisions set forth herein.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Section, any dispute, claim, or controversy of any kind between the Company and you arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms, your use of our Sites or any products, services, or information you receive through our Sites, if unresolved during the 60-day informal resolution period, shall be submitted to confidential, binding arbitration in Atlanta, Georgia.

The arbitration shall be conducted before one arbitrator and administered by an internationally recognized arbitration organization mutually agreed upon by the parties and in accordance with such organization’s rules applicable to the nature of the dispute, as modified by these Terms. If the parties cannot agree, they shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an alternate administrator that will administer the arbitration consistent with these Terms.

The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief as a court, including injunctive or other equitable relief and attorneys’ fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and you agree not to seek any attorneys’ fees and expert witness costs unless the arbitrator finds that a claim or defense was frivolous and asserted for an improper purpose. The Company and you understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, the Company and you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. The Company and you further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. No arbitration under these Terms may be joined with another arbitration related to the subject matter hereof.

Each party reserves the right to request a telephonic, video, or in-person hearing in arbitration. Should either party make such a request, a hearing shall be held. You and the Company’s representative shall personally appear at any hearing requested by a party or otherwise ordered by the arbitrator, along with your and the Company’s counsel, if represented.

Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration requirement, with regard to any actual or potential violation of our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in the courts of Atlanta, Georgia and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waive all objections thereto.

You have the right to opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice to the address provided in the Notice section of these Terms. The notice must be sent within the later of 30 days after your first use of the Sites or within 30 days of changes to this section being announced on the Sites. Otherwise, you will be bound to arbitrate any disputes, claims, or controversies in accordance with the terms of this Section. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, the Company also will not be bound by them. If you do not opt out as described in this Section, your use of the Sites will be deemed to be your irrevocable acceptance of these Terms and any changes/updates to this Section or otherwise.

If any clause within these arbitration provisions is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that specific clause will be severed from these arbitration provisions, and the remainder of the arbitration provisions will be given full force and effect.

The terms of these arbitration provisions will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent or affiliated company of the Company to the extent that any such claims arise out of your access to, and/or use of the Sites, and/or the provision of content, services, and/or technology on or through the Sites.

If your claim falls within the jurisdictional scope and limits of small claims court and does not include a request for any type of equitable remedy, you may choose to pursue your claim in a small claims court of appropriate venue for you and the Company. Such claims must remain in small claims court and may not be removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction.

22. CLASS ACTION WAIVER; JURY TRIAL WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

You and the Company agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each party may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not participate as a plaintiff, claimant, or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceeding. This means that you and Company may not bring a claim on behalf of a class or group and may not bring a claim on behalf of any other person unless doing as a parent, guardian, or ward of a minor or in another similar capacity for an individual who cannot otherwise bring their own individual claim. This also means that you and Company may not participate in any class, collective, consolidated, privacy attorney general, or representative proceeding brought by any third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you or the Company may participate in a class-wide settlement.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and the Company waive any right to a jury trial.

The terms of this provision will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any of the Company’s parent companies, affiliates, to the extent that any such claims arise out of your access to, and/or use of the Sites, and/or the provision of content, services, and/or technology on or through the Sites.

23. GOVERNING LAWS

The laws of the state of Georgia and the United States govern these Terms and any claims arising out of or relating to use of the Sites, without giving effect to any choice of law rules. We make no representation that our Sites are appropriate, legal or available for use outside of the United States. With the exception of any matters subject to arbitration as described above, the state and federal courts located in Georgia will serve as the venue for any actions brought, or claims made, arising out of your use of our Sites. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

24. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

You assume all knowledge of and compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations in connection with your access to and use of the Sites. By using the Sites, you represent and warrant that you will not use our Sites in any way that violates these Terms or any applicable state, federal, or international laws, regulations or other government requirements.

25. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

You acknowledge and agree that any violation of these Terms relating to the disclosure, use, copying, distribution, display or publishing of the information and/or content on the Sites and/or their associated services and/or offerings may result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company that may not be adequately compensable in money damages, and for which the Company will have no adequate remedy at law. You, therefore, consent and agree that the Company may obtain injunctions, orders or other equitable relief as may be reasonably necessary to ensure compliance with these Terms. You waive any requirement of the posting of a bond that may apply for issuance of any injunctions, orders, or other equitable relief.

26. OTHER TERMS

If any provision of these Terms is determined by a court of law to be unlawful, void or unenforceable for any reason, the other provisions (and any partially enforceable provision) shall not be affected thereby and shall remain valid and enforceable to the maximum possible extent, and the invalid provision will be modified as necessary to make it valid and enforceable while as closely as possible reflecting the Company’s original intentions.

You agree that these Terms and any other agreements referenced herein may be assigned by us, in our sole discretion, to a third party in the event of a merger or acquisition or otherwise. These Terms shall apply in addition to, and shall not be superseded by, any other written agreement between us in relation to your use of our Sites.

You agree and understand that these Terms together with any other applicable click-through agreements you may have entered into regarding our Sites, constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding your use of the Sites, and that any other prior agreements between you and the Company are superseded by these Terms.

Any failure by the Company to exercise its rights under these Terms or to enforce the terms hereof will not constitute a waiver of those rights.
