  • (f) The App Provider and its affiliates are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as related to your license to the App, and that, upon your acceptance of the Terms, the App Provider will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms as related to your license of the App against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

  1. Member Interactions, Dealings with Third Parties, CAN-SPAM Act.

When interacting with other WAI members, you should exercise caution and common sense to protect your personal safety and property, just as you would when interacting with other people you don’t know. Your participation, correspondence or personal or business dealings with any third-party found on or through the WAI Service, whether regarding payment or delivery of specific goods and services, donations or fundraisers, and any other terms, conditions, representations or warranties associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such third-party. You agree that WAI is not responsible or liable for any loss, damage, injury, or other matters of any sort incurred as the result of such dealings.

In connection with the WAI Services, you may make phone calls and/or email third parties. You acknowledge and agree that you have reviewed and understand the relevant materials and information pertaining to the CAN-SPAM Act, anti-spam email marketing and the “Do-Not-Call Registry” provided to you, including the below: 

The CAN-SPAM Act provides that any email sent to advertise or promote a product or service must:

  1. Identify the Email as an advertisement or solicitation.
  2. Provide an opt-out mechanism allowing the recipient to opt-out of receiving future Emails.
  3. Include the sender’s physical address as well as a valid return Email address.

Additionally, the CAN-SPAM act makes it illegal to falsify transmission information, use deceptive subject headings, and continue to send Emails if the recipient has opted out.

Federal law allows consumers who do not want to receive solicitations to place their telephone numbers on a national Do-Not-Call Registry. Generally, you should not call numbers on the Registry, but exceptions can apply. For more information, visit the FTC’s website (https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/complying-telemarketing-sales-rule).

You further acknowledge and agree that such materials and information are for educational purposes only, provide limited information as an introduction to the subject matter and are not legal advice. You agree to consult a qualified legal advisor for more information on how those or similar state or federal laws apply to you and your activities.

  1.  Indemnification.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless WAI and its affiliates, licensors and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to:

  • (a) your activities on the WAI Service,
  • (b) any User Content submitted by or on behalf of you or
  • (c) your violation of these Terms.

If you access the WAI Service from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

  1.  Third-Party Links and Content.

There may be links on the WAI Service that let you leave the particular WAI Service you are accessing in order to access a linked site that is operated by a third-party.

You are responsible for providing your own access (e.g., computer, mobile device, Internet connection, etc.) to the WAI Service. WAI has no obligation to screen or monitor any Content and does not guarantee that any Content available on the WAI Service is suitable for all users or that it will continue to be available for any length of time.
    • 15.2. As Is, As Available. WAI provides the WAI Service on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. You therefore use the WAI Service at your own risk. Other than as expressly provided in writing by WAI in connection with your purchase of a WAI product, to the extent permitted by law, WAI expressly disclaims any and all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, quiet enjoyment and any other warranty that might arise under any law.

TO THE EXTENT ANY DISCLAIMER OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY DOES NOT APPLY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL APPLICABLE EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES WILL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO A PERIOD OF 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH YOU FIRST USED THE WAI SERVICE, AND NO WARRANTIES SHALL APPLY AFTER SUCH PERIOD.
  1.  Limitation of Liability.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, ACCEPT, ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE:

  • (a) WAI shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, economic or pure economic losses, goodwill, use, data, service interruption, computer damage, system failure, inability to use the WAI Service or Content or other intangible losses, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed its essential purpose; and
  • (b) WAI’s total liability to you for all claims, in the aggregate, will not exceed the amount actually paid by you to WAI over the 12 months preceding the date your first claim(s) arose.

If you live in a jurisdiction that does not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation does not apply to you. To the extent that one or any aspect of WAI’s limitations set out above does not apply, all remaining aspects survive. The exclusions and limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between WAI and you.

  • (c) you may opt out of arbitration entirely and litigate any Dispute individually if you provide us with a signed, written notice of your decision to do so pursuant to Section 20.9 below; however, if you are opting out of an updated version of this arbitration provision, you understand that you will remain subject to the prior version of any arbitration provision to which you had previously agreed.
    • 20.3. Initial Dispute Resolution and Notification. You and WAI agree that, prior to initiating an arbitration or other legal proceeding, you and WAI will attempt to negotiate an informal resolution of the Dispute. To begin this process, and before initiating any arbitration or legal proceeding against WAI, you must send a Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) by certified mail to the attention of WAI’s Legal Department at the WAI address set out in Section 24 of these Terms. For purposes of these Terms, initiating an arbitration means filing an arbitration demand (“Demand”).
      • 20.3.1 Your Notice to WAI must contain all of the following information: (1) your full name, address, WAI username, and the email address associated with your WAI account (where applicable); (2) a detailed description of the nature and basis of the Dispute; (3) a description of the relief you want, including any money damages you request; and (4) your signature verifying the accuracy of the Notice and, if you are represented by counsel, authorizing WAI to disclose information about you to your attorney.
      • 20.3.2. After receipt of your Notice, you and WAI shall engage in a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute for a period of 60 days, which both sides may extend by written agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Period”). During the Informal Dispute Resolution Period, neither you nor WAI may initiate an arbitration or other legal proceeding.
      • 20.3.3. If the Dispute is not resolved during the Informal Dispute Resolution Period, you may initiate an individual arbitration as provided below.
  • 20.4. Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. Any arbitration must be initiated with and conducted by National Arbitration & Mediation (“NAM”) pursuant to its Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures and/or its Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures (together, the “NAM Rules”), except as modified by these Terms. The NAM Rules are available at NAMADR.org, by calling NAM at 1-800-358-2550. In any instance where the applicable NAM Rules and these Terms are inconsistent, these Terms shall control.
    • 20.4.1. An arbitration Demand filed with NAM must include a certification signed by the filing party verifying compliance with the Initial Dispute Resolution and Notification requirements and other requirements set out in this Section (t).
    • 20.4.2. If NAM fails or declines to conduct the arbitration for any reason, we will mutually select a different arbitration administrator. If we cannot agree, a court will appoint the arbitration administrator.
    • 20.4.3. Any arbitration hearing will take place in or nearest to the county or municipality where you live, unless you and WAI agree to a different location or to a virtual hearing.
    • 20.4.4 The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement, except that only a court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 21 of these Terms (and not an arbitrator) shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any claim that all or part of the Class Action Waiver set forth in these Terms or the Mass Filing procedures set forth in Section 5 below are unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable.
  • 20.5. Mass Filing Procedures. YOU AND WAI AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF US IS WAIVING THE RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A MASS ARBITRATION. WAI’s receipt of one or more Notice(s) of substantially similar claims brought by or on behalf of 25 or more claimants (including you) within a 60-day period (“Mass Filing”) shall be subject to the additional procedures set forth below. Claims included in a Mass Filing, if not resolved during the Informal Dispute Resolution Period, may proceed only in accordance with the procedures set out below, and subject to the NAM Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures (“NAM Mass Filing Rules,” available at https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms/) to the extent not contrary to these Terms. If a court determines that this Section 20.5.5 is not enforceable as to your claim, then your claim may only proceed individually in court consistent with these Terms.
    • 20.5.1. Batching: You and WAI agree that your and other individuals’ claims deemed by WAI a Mass Filing may be filed with NAM in batches of no greater than 50 individuals’ claims at one time, with 25 claims (or half of the total number of claims in a batch, if less than 50) selected by counsel for you and other claimants and 25 claims (or half of the total number of claims in a batch, if less than 50) selected by WAI. After your claim is batched and permitted to be filed as a Demand, you and WAI agree that selection and appointment of an arbitrator for your Demand shall be governed by the NAM Mass Filing Rules.
    • 20.5.2. First (Bellwether) Batch: The first batch of up to 50 Demands are the Bellwether Arbitrations. If your claim is included in the Bellwether Arbitrations, you and WAI shall cooperate with the arbitrator assigned to your arbitration to resolve your claim within 120 days of the initial pre-hearing conference.
    • 20.5.3. Stay of Filing of Other Claims: If your claim is not among those selected for the Bellwether Arbitrations, your claim cannot be filed until it is assigned to a batch and authorized to be filed in a later stage of this process. No arbitration fees will be assessed on you or WAI in connection with your claim unless and until it is assigned to a batch and authorized to be filed with NAM.
    • 20.5.4 Mediation: After the Bellwether Arbitrations are completed, if your claim remains unresolved, you and WAI agree to mediate your claim along with any other unresolved claims included in the Mass Filing (“Global Mediation”). The mediator will be selected according to the procedure set forth in the NAM Rules, and WAI will pay the mediator’s fees. The Global Mediation shall be completed within 120 days of the selection of a mediator, unless extended by written agreement between you and WAI.
    • 20.5.5. Election To Proceed in Court: If Global Mediation is not successful in resolving your claim, and 100 or more claims included in the Mass Filing remain unresolved, you or WAI may opt out of arbitration and elect to have your claim resolved in court consistent with Section 21 of these Terms. You or WAI must exercise this election within 45 days of the completion of Global Mediation.
    • 20.5.6. Sequential Arbitration of Remaining Batches: If neither you nor WAI opt out of arbitration, another batch of no greater than 50 individuals’ claims will be selected from the Mass Filing, with 25 claims (or half of the total number of claims in a batch, if less than 50) selected by counsel for claimants and 25 claims (or half of the total number of claims in a batch, if less than 50) selected by WAI. If your claim is included in this next batch of 50 claims, your claim will be filed with NAM, and you and WAI shall cooperate with the arbitrator assigned to your arbitration to resolve your claim within 120 days of the initial pre-hearing conference. The process of batching up to 50 individual claims at a time will continue until the parties resolve all claims included in the Mass Filing. No unbatched claim can proceed to be filed as a Demand until the previous batch has been resolved.
    • 20.5.7. Tolling. For any claim subject to these Mass Filing procedures, any statute of limitations applicable to your claim shall be tolled from the date the Informal Dispute Resolution Period begins until the earlier of (1) the date your arbitration Demand is filed, or (2) the date you or WAI opts out of arbitration pursuant to Section 20.5.5.
  • 20.6. Arbitration Costs. Payment of all arbitration filing fees and costs will be governed by the applicable NAM Rules. If you prevail on your claim in arbitration, WAI will reimburse you for any portion of the arbitration filing fees you paid that exceeded the amount you would have paid to file a complaint in a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 21. If WAI prevails on your claim in arbitration, and the arbitrator finds that your claim was frivolous or filed in bad faith, the arbitrator may award WAI reimbursement from you of WAI’s arbitration filing fees and costs.
  • 20.7. Offer of Settlement. WAI may, but is not obligated to, make a written offer to settle your claim at least 14 days before the arbitration hearing date. The amount or terms of any settlement offer may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator issues an award on the claim. If an award is issued in your favor but is less than WAI’s settlement offer, the arbitrator may order you to pay the arbitration costs incurred by WAI after its offer was made, unless otherwise prohibited by the underlying law governing your claim.
  • 20.8. Class Action Waiver. YOU AND WAI AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS (WHETHER IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION) AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLAIMANT, OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, COORDINATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, REQUEST FOR PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. This also means that you and WAI may not participate in any class, collective, consolidated, coordinated, private attorney general, request for public injunctive relief, or representative proceeding brought by any third-party.  Notwithstanding this provision or any other language in these Terms, you or WAI may participate in a class-wide settlement. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND WAI WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
  • 20.9. Effect of Changes on Arbitration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 25 “Modification,” if WAI changes any terms of this Section (t) after the date you first accepted these Terms or any subsequent changes to these Terms, you may reject the new changes to Section (t) by sending us written notice, personally signed by you, by certified mail to the attention of WAI’s Legal Department at the WAI address set out in Section 24 of these Terms within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated by the later of (1) the “Last Updated” date of the Terms you seek to reject or (1) the date of WAI’s email to you notifying you of such change. Even if you reject a change, you will remain subject to Section 20 of the last version of the Terms you had accepted.
  • 20.10. Severability. If any portion of this Section (t) is found to be void, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable, then that portion shall be deemed to be severable and, if possible, superseded by a valid, enforceable provision, or portion thereof, that matches the intent of the original provision, or portion thereof, as closely as possible. The remainder of Section (t) and all other Terms shall continue to be enforceable and valid.
