Dispute Resolution

Except for matters relating to the enforcement of Schutz’ intellectual property rights, all disputes, controversies, or claims arising out of or relating in any way to any message, your participation in any of the features available through them and/or your purchase of any products or services via the messages shall be finally resolved by arbitration as provided below. You are giving up the right to litigate a dispute with Schutz before a judge or jury. Arbitration shall be solely on an individual basis and expressly waive the ability to participate in a class or representative proceeding, including any class arbitration or representative arbitration proceedings. The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. In the event the prohibition on class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining portions of the agreement to arbitrate will remain in force. To the extent that you or Schutz opts out of arbitration following the procedure set forth below, or if this arbitration agreement is found inapplicable to a dispute between us, you and Schutz expressly waive the ability to participate in any class or representative litigation. An arbitral tribunal shall have the power to rule on any challenge to its own jurisdiction or to the validity or enforceability of any portion of this agreement to arbitrate.

If a dispute arises that is subject to arbitration, you must give Schutz written notice and an opportunity to resolve it. Your notice must include your name, your address, a written description of the dispute, and a specific description of the relief you are seeking. If Schutz does not resolve our dispute within 45 days after receiving your notice, you may pursue arbitration as provided below by sending a written demand for arbitration to Schutz at the address set forth above in "Copyright Complaint Procedure."

Any dispute or claim that is subject to arbitration but is not resolved by the pre-arbitration dispute process, shall be submitted to binding arbitration. The disputes and claims subject to arbitration will be resolved by a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by you and Schutz. If we cannot agree on an arbitrator, then an arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to Rule 12 of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediate Services (“JAMS”) Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The arbitrator shall be bound by and shall strictly enforce these terms and any other applicable agreement between us, and may not limit, expand, or otherwise modify any such terms. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court of law could, applying the limitations of liability contained in these terms. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief if permitted by law – but the injunctive relief awarded by the arbitrator may not extend beyond our dealings with one another. Any arbitration will be held in New York, New York, unless otherwise agreed upon by you and Schutz in writing. You and Schutz will each bear its own expenses in the arbitration and will share equally the costs of the arbitration; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall award costs and fees to the prevailing party if it is determined that the other party submitted a claim with no reasonable basis or filed any claim in bad faith.

You may opt out of the agreement to arbitrate by providing written notice of your intention to do so to Schutz at the address above no later than 60 days after initial acceptance of these Terms. The procedure spelled out herein is the only way to opt out of arbitration, and any attempts to opt out after the deadline set forth herein will be ineffective. Notwithstanding your decision to opt out of arbitration, you still waive the ability to participate in any class or representative litigation.

Because the Website and these terms concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration rules (notwithstanding the application of New York law to any underlying claims as provided above). You agree the arbitration and other provisions of this section "Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver" survives any termination of these terms.

Changes to Messaging Terms

We reserve the right to terminate or change our messaging program at any time. We also reserve the right to change these Messaging Terms at any time and such changes will be effective immediately upon posting. Your continued enrollment following such changes shall constitute your acceptance of such changes.
