Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration
Agreement to Arbitrate. This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms and Conditions as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and the Company Group, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, provided that: (i) you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify; (ii) this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf; and (iii) that the Applicable Companies may initiate legal claims against you or Client, as applicable for nonpayment of fees or moneys owed pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or your Software & Services Agreement(s). You agree that, by entering into these Terms and Conditions, you and the Company Group are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND THE APPLICABLE COMPANIES AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND THE APPLICABLE COMPANIES AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. The Company Group is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to the Applicable Companies should be sent tolegalnotice@tifin.com(“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If the Applicable Companies and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or the Applicable Companies may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by the Applicable Companies or you will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or the Applicable Companies is entitled.
Arbitration Procedures.Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its websites,http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page,https://www.adr.org/consumer. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms and Conditions as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms and Conditions and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. Unless the Applicable Companies and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made by AAA.
Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. If you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, the Applicable Companies will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, the Applicable Companies will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
Severability. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of these Terms and Conditions will continue to apply.
Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, the Company Group agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you may reject any such change by sending the Applicable Companies written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms and Conditions (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms and Conditions).
AI Assistant Addendum.
General. The Services may include an AI assistant (the “AI Assistant”). The AI Assistant utilizes sophisticated algorithms to analyze financial data and generate insights based on the information you and other sources provide. It is important to note the following:
The AI Assistant is not an investment advisor representative (“IAR”) whether under the Advisors Act and its implementing regulations or under any similar laws, regulations, and rules applicable in other jurisdictions, nor is it associated with a registered investment advisor (“RIA”) and does not provide investment advice. The insights generated by the AI Assistant are based on data analysis and are provided for informational and educational purposes only. They should not be construed as investment advice or recommendations to buy, sell, or hold any securities or financial products.
Before any insights are displayed to you, they undergo a compliance check to ensure that they do not constitute investment advice. This process is designed to maintain the non-advisory nature of the AI Assistant’s functionality and to adhere to regulatory requirements.
The AI Assistant’s insights are derived from the analysis of data collected from various sources. These insights are intended to inform you about financial wellness topics and help you better understand your financial situation. However, the AI assistant may not take into account your personal financial goals, circumstances, or risk tolerance. Therefore, any decision based on these insights is made at your discretion and risk.
User Responsibility. While the AI Assistant can provide valuable data-driven insights, the responsibility for any financial or other decisions lies with you. We encourage you to consult with a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions. The AI Assistant is a tool to aid in your financial wellness journey, not a substitute for professional financial advice.
Acknowledgment. By using our platform, you acknowledge and agree that:
You understand the AI assistant is not providing investment advice or acting as an RIA or IAR.
You are responsible for your financial decisions and, if necessary, should seek professional advice before making investment choices.
You have read, understand, and agree to the terms outlined in this Addendum, together with the Terms and Conditions.
Please contact us at hello@tifin.com to report any violations of these Terms and Conditions or to pose any questions regarding these Terms and Conditions.
