Terms of Use

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS SITE AND THE SERVICE

This web site (“Site”) is owned and operated by SCANTRACKED, which operates ScanTracked.com (collectively, “Provider”) and the services (“Services”) provided to you are subject to the following notices, terms, and conditions. You and provider may collectively be referred to as the “Parties.” Unless otherwise agreed in writing with Provider, your agreement with Provider will always include, at a minimum, the terms and conditions set out in this document. These terms form a legally binding agreement between you and Provider in relation to your use of Provider’s Services. It is important that you take the time to read them carefully. Collectively, this legal agreement is referred to below as the “Terms.” Provider may, from time to time, modify, amend, or supplement these Terms, and post those changes on the Terms of Service page. Such modifications, amendments or supplements shall automatically be effective seven (7) days after Provider has posted the modifications. If you do not agree to be bound by (or cannot comply with) these Terms as modified, you agree that your sole remedy is to cease using the Services by cancelling your account.

Both you and Provider agree, with the limited exceptions noted below and as further provided below, to resolve all disputes between you and the Company through BINDING ARBITRATION. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU AND PROVIDER ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

BILLING AND PAYMENTS

Provider offers multiple types of service plans, all of which are detailed at http://ScanTracked.com/pricing. Your monthly service fee will be calculated based on the service plan that you select during or immediately after Provider’s 30-day free trial period. In addition to this monthly service fee, you will be responsible for other transactional costs such as the purchase of postage and package insurance. Monthly service fees will be calculated and billed on the 1st day after completing the 30-day free trial period. The monthly billing cycle for your service fee begins on the first day that you activate your account, following the 30-day trial. For example, if your trial ends on March 8, the first monthly billing cycle will begin on or after March 9, depending on when you activate your account, and the second billing cycle will begin each month thereafter from your original date of activation. Provider bills at the beginning of the applicable billing cycle. Provider may maintain the availability of the service for a period after an activated account has been cancelled.

METHOD OF PAYMENT

Provider currently accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover Card. These acceptable payment methods are subject to change at any time. You must include correct information (e.g., the address and phone number the credit card issuer has on file for you) when enrolling. Incorrect information may cause delays in establishing your service with Provider. All information received from you will be treated in accordance with Provider’s Privacy Policy. Please note that Provider may receive updated information from your financial institution and by accepting this Agreement you hereby consent to such updating. For example, Provider may receive updated card expiration date or account number information. During account registration, Provider may verify that your credit card is valid for the service fees associated with your service plan.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; AND CLASS WAIVER

You and Provider agree that, except as provided below regarding small claims court proceedings, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Provider Services, Terms, Site, your account(s), our Privacy Policy or our privacy practices generally, these Terms, and this Arbitration Agreement, shall be determined by binding arbitration. 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. YOU AGREE THAT, BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, THE U.S. FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT GOVERNS THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS PROVISION, AND THAT YOU AND PROVIDER ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms and the termination of your Provider account(s).

PRE-FILING MEDIATION. In the event of a dispute, prior to initiating arbitration, the party asserting the claim must first send to the other, by certified mail with return receipt requested (or any successor service), a written Notice of claim (“Notice”). If you are the claimant, the Notice to Provider must be addressed to: Legal Department – SCANTRACKED, 616 Corporate Way, Suite 2-5864
Valley Cottage, NY 10989. If Provider is the claimant, the Notice must be addressed to the address used for your membership account. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. Following receipt of the Notice, each party agrees to negotiate with the other in good faith about the claim. If the claim is not resolved to the satisfaction of the claimant within sixty (60) days after Notice is provided, the claimant may pursue the claim in arbitration or file a claim in small claims court.

ADDITIONAL ARBITRATION PROVISIONS:

Settlement Offers: During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Provider or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.

Initiating A Claim: The form required to initiate an arbitration can be printed or downloaded from www.adr.org. Alternatively, you can contact the arbitration administrator by calling 800-778-7879.
Fees for Initiating Arbitration: If you are required to pay a filing fee to initiate arbitration, after Provider receives notice of the initiation of arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee at the address we have for you on file (or the address provided in the Notice), unless your claim is for greater than US $10,000.

Applicable Rules; Administrator: The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement.

Location of Hearing: Unless Provider and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing address. (If you reside outside of the United States, any arbitration hearings will take place in your country of residence at a location reasonably convenient to you, but will remain subject to the AAA Rules including the AAA rules regarding the selection of an arbitrator). If your claim is for US $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

Award Enhancement: If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Provider’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if Provider did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then Provider will pay you the amount of the award or US $1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

Class Waiver: Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither you nor Provider will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings.

Injunctive Relief Limitation: 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 warranted by that party’s individual claim.

Small Claims Procedure Alternative: Notwithstanding the foregoing binding arbitration procedure, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court (provided the claim otherwise qualifies for such program) as an alternative to proceeding with arbitration.
