Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations of liability, so this limitation may not apply to you.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BYS, its affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your use of the Site or the Application or the Services, your violation of these Terms of Use, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

Governing Law; Dispute Resolution

All matters relating to your access to or use of the Site or the Application, including any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri and the laws of the United States, without regard to any conflict of laws principles that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

You agree that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to your use of the Site or the Application shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Jackson County, Missouri. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of and venue in those courts and waive any objection to jurisdiction or venue in those courts, including any claim that such forum is inconvenient.

Any claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use must be brought within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action accrues; otherwise, such claim or cause of action is permanently barred.

No recovery may be sought or received for damages other than out-of-pocket expenses, except that the prevailing party in any dispute shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

Before initiating litigation, the parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally. If the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days, either party may submit the dispute to non-binding mediation. If mediation does not resolve the dispute, each party is free to pursue any rights or remedies available under applicable law.

Terms of Use Violations

BYS may disclose information about you, including your identity, if we determine that such disclosure is necessary in connection with an investigation or complaint regarding your use of the Site or the Application, or to identify, contact, or take legal action against anyone who may be causing injury to, or interfering with, BYS’s rights or property or the rights or property of other users or visitors.

BYS reserves the right to disclose any information that we believe is necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request. We may also disclose information when permitted by law, including for purposes of fraud prevention or security monitoring.

You acknowledge and agree that BYS may preserve communications or data transmitted through the Site or the Application and may disclose such information if required by law or if we determine that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to (1) comply with legal process; (2) enforce these Terms of Use; (3) respond to claims that content or communications violate the rights of others; or (4) protect the rights, property, or safety of BYS, our employees, users, or the public.

You agree that BYS may, in its sole discretion and without prior notice, suspend or terminate your access to the Site or the Application if we determine that you have violated these Terms of Use or any other agreement or policy governing your use of the Services. Suspension or termination may also occur for reasons including, but not limited to: (1) requests from law enforcement or regulatory authorities; (2) your request to delete or close your account; (3) discontinuation or substantial modification of the Site or the Application; or (4) unexpected technical or security issues.

If BYS initiates legal action against you due to your violation of these Terms of Use, BYS is entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, in addition to any other relief available. BYS will not be liable to you or any third party for termination of your access to the Site or the Application under this section.

Void Where Prohibited

BYS administers and operates the www.boostyourscore.com Site from its location in Kansas City, Missouri USA. Not all features, products or Services discussed, referenced, provided or offered through or on the Site or the Application are available to all persons or in all geographic locations. BYS reserves the right to limit, in its sole discretion, the provision and quantity of any feature, product or service to any person or geographic area.

Data Feedback

Any feedback, suggestions, ideas, or other information that you submit or provide to BYS regarding the Site, the Application, or the Services (“Feedback”) is considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. You acknowledge and agree that BYS may use, copy, disclose, reproduce, modify, license, distribute, and disseminate any such Feedback for any purpose, in its discretion, without any compensation to you and on an unrestricted basis.

Geo-Location Services

BYS may make geolocation-based features or functionality available through the Site. By choosing to opt in or otherwise enabling geolocation functionality, you expressly consent to BYS’s collection, use, processing, sharing, and transfer of your device location information for purposes of delivering location-based features, content, and services, including to third-party service providers who support, host, or facilitate such functionality on behalf of BYS. You may disable geolocation services at any time through your device or browser settings; however, doing so may limit or affect the availability or functionality of certain Site features.

Dispute Resolution

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms of Use, the arbitration provisions and any waiver of rights set forth herein do not apply to “Covered Borrowers” as that term is defined under the Military Lending Act, 10 U.S.C. § 987, and its implementing regulation, 32 C.F.R. Part 232, where such provisions are prohibited for Covered Borrowers.

These Terms of Use contain a pre-dispute arbitration clause, which applies to these Terms of Use. By clicking “Agree” and consenting to these Terms of Use, BYS and you agree as follows:

All parties to these Terms of Use are giving up the right to sue each other in court, including the right to a trial by jury, except as provided by the rules of the arbitration forum in which a claim is filed. Arbitration awards are generally final and binding; a party’s ability to have a court reverse or modify an arbitration award is very limited.

The ability of the parties to obtain documents, witness statements and other discovery is generally more limited in arbitration than in court proceedings.

The rules of some arbitration forums may impose time limits for bringing a claim in arbitration. In some cases, a claim that is ineligible for arbitration may be brought in court.

Pre-dispute arbitration clause: You understand and agree that all claims, disagreements, disputes or controversies between you and BYS, and its officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, parents, affiliates, subsidiaries and/or related companies, including related to the Services, shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration. Because the Services provided to you by BYS concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all disputes. However, applicable federal or state law may also apply to the substance of any disputes. The arbitration shall take place in Kansas City, MO. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with Title 9 of the US Code (United States Arbitration Act) under the AAA’s Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures as supplemented by the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (and as stated therein, if there is a difference between the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures, the Supplementary Procedures will be used). Neither you nor we shall be entitled to join or consolidate claims in arbitration by or against other customers/consumers or arbitrate any claim as a representative or member of a class or in a private attorney general capacity. The parties voluntarily and knowingly waive any right they have to a jury trial.

NO CLASS ACTIONS. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any and all disputes, claims and causes of action you may against BYS in connection with or related to the Services will be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action.

You and BYS agree that any controversy or claim between You and BYS, or between You and any of the officers, employees, agents, or affiliated companies of BYS, arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use, any of the transactions contemplated under these Terms of Use, any of the Services provided pursuant to these Terms of Use, any of the discussions or negotiations leading up to the making of these Terms of Use, or any relationship that results from any of the foregoing, whether based in contract, or an alleged tort, or on any other legal theory, and whether asserted as an original or amended claim, counterclaim, cross claim, or otherwise, shall be governed by federal law and all applicable substantive laws of the State of Missouri (without regard to its conflict of laws principles). Governing Missouri law may be supplemented as necessary by federal law. You agree that if there is any inconsistency between the terms of these Terms of Use and any applicable law, regulation or rule, the terms of these Terms of Use will prevail to the extent any such law, regulation or rule may be modified by agreement.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no action, regardless of form, arising out of these Terms of Use may be brought by either party more than two (2) years after the claiming party knew or should have known of the cause of action.

You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and BYS as a result of these Terms of Use or accessing the Services. BYS’s performance under these Terms of Use is subject to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained in these Terms of Use is in derogation of BYS’s right to comply with governmental, court and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your access or use of the Services or information provided to or gathered by BYS with respect to such use.

Interpretation

If any part of these Terms of Use is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations contained herein, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Terms of Use shall continue in effect. A printed version of these Terms of Use and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to the Terms of Use to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. Except as otherwise specified in these Terms of Use, all notices, permissions and approvals hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given upon: (i) personal delivery, (ii) the second business day after mailing, (iii) the second business day after sending by confirmed facsimile, or (iv) the first business day after sending by email.

No forbearance or delay by either party in enforcing its rights shall prejudice or restrict the rights of that party and no waiver of any such rights or of any breach of any contractual terms shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other right or of any later breach. You may not assign any of your rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise.
