1. Changes to the Terms of Use
Otter Links may at its discretion amend, update, add to, remove, or otherwise change these Terms at any time. We may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to these Terms, by website, e-mail, regular mail, SMS message, in-app notification, or other reasonable means now known or hereinafter developed.
Your continued use of the Otter Link Services following any such notifications constitutes your acceptance of such changes and your agreement to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to any changes of these Terms of Use, your sole remedy is to terminate your Account and/or discontinue participation in and use of the Services.
2. Membership Account
Users may create a Membership Account to use certain features of our Services. To create a Membership Account, a user must be 18 years old and provide a valid e-mail address and password. Each person is limited to one account. Certain features may require the submission of additional information. All information you provide must be true, accurate, current, and complete. Information collected by Otter Links shall be subject to our Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Otter Links does not currently offer its Services or support Membership Accounts of residents outside of the United States of America.
Otter Links complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and does not permit registration by, and will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from, anyone under the age of 13. Creating a Membership Account under false or fraudulent pretenses constitutes an unauthorized use of Services, and such accounts will be deleted by Otter Links. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a child under 13 years old and believe that your child has provided personal information to our site, you may contact us at legal@otterlinks.com to request deletion of your child’s personal information.
By creating a Membership Account, you agree to receive communications and notices by electronic mail. Our communications may include account and membership-related notices, and periodic advertisements. Your consent to receive electronic communications includes any notices or other information that we may be required by law to provide you in writing or otherwise. You agree to keep us apprised of your current email address. We may also send you push notifications if you install the mobile application. If you elect to provide us a mobile number, we may use it to contact you when you make account updates or for account recovery purposes. You may receive recurring messages from us during those account changes. Standard message rates apply, and carriers are not responsible for any delayed or undelivered messages. You may opt out of receiving certain communications in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
3. Informal Dispute Resolution
Otter Links would like an opportunity to address any concerns without a formal legal case. Before filing a legal claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by submitting your grievance to legal@otterlinks.com. We will make every effort to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you in writing via e-mail. If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days of submission, you or Otter Links may initiate a formal proceeding.
4. Dispute Resolution: Binding Arbitration
- Arbitration is a method of claim resolution that is less formal than a traditional court proceeding in state or federal court. It uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury and the arbitrator’s decision is subject to limited review by courts. You and Otter Links agree to arbitrate any and all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of, in connection with, or relating to this Agreement, Otter Links business, any of the Services, our relationship with you, including any claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement. This agreement to arbitrate includes any claims against Otter Links’s employees, agents, or any subsidiaries of Company.
- All disputes concerning the arbitrability of a claim (including disputes about the scope, interpretation, breach, applicability, enforceability, revocability, or validity of this Agreement) shall be decided by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall also decide whether any claim is subject to arbitration. You further agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate.
- To the extent possible under your local law, the arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules or pursuant to JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules”). The Rules are available online at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. The exclusive venue for any dispute or issue arising out of this Agreement shall be held in Hancock County, Ohio.
- Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you agree that if we make any future, material change to this arbitration provision, you may reject any change. Your decision to reject changes in a new arbitration provision, however, does not affect any prior arbitration provisions to which you have already agreed, which would still remain in effect. To reject changes, you may send us written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to:
- This arbitration provision is optional. You may decline or opt out of this agreement to arbitrate within thirty (30) calendar days of creating a Membership Account or accessing a Service for the first time, by sending written and signed notice to:
- 4.6Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in a court having jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be.
